A random ass powerup for Natsu to defeat the big bad of the arc. Why am I not surprised.
Fairy Taint Discussion II

-
This again?
-
Can someone explain this powerup for me, because it doesn't make sense to me how this works.
But I know its stupid.
-
I honestly didn't mind this chapter and actually saw this coming from a mile away. Maybe mashima will surprise us and let natsu not win.

You have too much faith in him.
-
In the final battle Natsu will eat all different flames to beat the final Big Bad. Its obvious.
-
You have too much faith in him.
He's done stuff like this in RAVE where Haru would get a power up and it still wouldn't matter
-
Really, Mashima? REALLY?
Siiiiiigh
-
Wtf? One time implausible power up. Natsu beating the Big Bad. It's literally the SAME shit that happened during the Oracion Seis arc (Natsu eating that golden flame bullshit to beat Zero). God damn.
-
Lmao.
Just when I thought powerups couldn't get more bullshit than Tomorrow's Power Today.
-
So let me get this straight. Laxus is stronger than Natsu (obviously) and he could have kept on fighting but instead he gave up and gave all his powers to Natsu, because Natsu was affected by all that has happened the most. You know, I think I would have liked this better if this was a last ditch move and Laxus was about to be defeated so he transferred his powers to Natsu as a last hope kinda thing. Instead he just threw in the towel prematurely and left the whole thing up to someone weaker than himself. Oh wait! Natsu has the powers of heart and friendship!
Also…
1.) Natsu isn't the only one who was affected greatly by Fairy Tail's beating and Marakov's defeat so why didn't Laxus give the other FT members his power? Erza is probably still stronger than Natsu and if not then equal. At least give her something if giving the others power would be a waste.
2.) Was Laxus's appearance really just used for the specific reason of giving Natsu another 1 time powerup to defeat the boss? Really…?
3.) If people can transfer magic so conveniently
! I think they should all just give their powers to Natsu. Hell, might as well give him more powers and it's not like they're using tomorrow's magic at the moment. They should draw on that and transfer it to Natsu.
(unless transfer of magic only works with similar types of magic users but oh wait…Laxus isn't a Dragonslayer...)

I didn't read the chap yet. Did he eat lightning or something? Gold Lightning perhaps?
-
Nice. Bring back Laxus just so he can give his power to Natsu. Incredible… -______-
-

NomNomNom .

Lmao.

That's still worse
-
This could have been a good chapter, but no, we have to deal with the same old bullshit.
-
Fuck.. Alright time for my review of this this chapter.
Laxus was so epic fighting Hades. He's my favorite character, and Hades is the best villains in this series. I like the part where he chucked that go globe . So intense! Fairy Tail never fails to disappoint me. Natsu gaining the power of lightning was also awesome. I can't wait for the next chapter.
Alright. For real this time. All that rubbish I posted above is satire.
This chapter was fucking terrible. First of all, the art looked really rough for FT's standards and the fight reminded me of Bleach with a little more background and speed-lines to cover the empty space. Oh… Look at that globe rollin over Lucy's ass and everyone else bouncin round the room like a bunch of emotionless ragdolls that can't do anything but give lame boring one liners about their evaluation of the fight. "OMG! Laxus is this strong?" Who the hell cares now Erza! The dude didn't come here to visit no grave, or to spout out "epic lines" in a cheap action movie fashion. You know why he's here? To give Natsu all his powers like he was out hoarding "Party Experience" or "Rare Candies" beforehand and not really giving a shit about using them on himself. "100 FOLD!" God damned. I really REALLY want to quit now. I said that I would decide that when this arc is over, but Hiro is making his shit harder than me going through the final legs of the Future arc of Reborn!
The only thing redeeming this chapter is if Natsu suddenly decides to eat Zerif's black death stuff to power himself up... only to die a horrible death due to his own sense of asspull stupidity.
-
You know, for a while I was really getting into this chapter.
You can fault Mashima for many things but damn if the man can't draw a decent fight scene.
But then all the sudden Luxus gives his power to Natsu and tells him to finish him off…what?
Its not so much Natsu getting another power up, I'm used to that.
Its more Luxus acting completely out of character to get it done that bugs me. -

Heh, maybe it can be used for Natsu's next power up.

Subtle XP
Yeah as much as I like this series, it was indeed a phoned in chapter. Granted the fight with Laxus vs Hades was excellent but just as it looked like it was going somewhere. Mashima fell back on the usual standby and it was the same stunt pulled in the Nirvana arc. I gave that a pass cause Gerad was weakened in battle, was repentant over his past actions and his power-up made some sense. Here it just feels like there was hardly any motivation, I can understand Laxus wanting to avenge his Grandfather but if thats the case then why doesn't he and Natsu fight Hades together. Wendy isn't knocked out, she could've easily healed Natsu with whatever magic she had left and got him back in there. Then while they were fighting Hades, she could've revived the others. That would've been a better climax, but no once again "take my power" and "Ultra Dragon #15" -sighs-
Really hoping the climax will be worth it, come on Mashima I know you can do better then this.
-
Last week I was so exited by the return of Laxus… but after reading this chapter I feel like Ive been fooled. So seems like this fight is also going to end up with a weird Natsu power up where he eats something and become stronger than ever
-
So I'm gonna do something I don't usually do and give a review of the chapter as I'm reading it.
So the reason Luxus was there was because he just happened to come and visit his ancestor's grave (not even because he felt anything was wrong, just a bloody coincidence) and he just happened to come across these guys. Can anyone say Deus ex Machina?
So Luxus suddenly cares about the guild now when he was shitting all over it a few arcs ago?
Fucking do something you jackasses. Stop gaping at the fights like useless ragdolls.
Why the hell is Luxus doing so well against the guy that beat Markarov in seconds?
Okay that battle was terrible and pointless.
Fuck this talk about him being so much stronger than you Luxus, you been beating his ass around and you barely got hit and it's game over? This is not how you properly execute a one-sided battle Mashima.
Okay that climax was bullshit on so many levels. Why does lightning make Natsu stronger? He's not a lightning dragon. This makes no sense. It's not like the lachyrma where it was stated that it's a container of a bunch of magical power or the magic flame which you could kinda understand, ass pull that it was or the tomorrow today thing which you can at least attribute to typical shonen last minute power. This is just bullshit, it looks cool but has absolutely no substance. It's the creme de la creme of asspulls. You can't just say it's magic lightning and that's it. This just goes to show Mashima's incompetence at handling his own magic world system. You know what would have been cool? If Luxus fired a special lightning attack that hyper-charged Natsu's nerve impulses making him faster though at serious cost of his life. I only thought of that in two seconds just now and that would have been far cooler than this flame fusing with lightning shit that makes no sense.
And let's get into the reasoning behind Luxus's decision. Why the hell didn't he try fighting some more? He gets hit once and "sorry, guys. I'm done?" That's it. So he gives a power-up to people who have been fighting their asses off all day and are in far worse condition? Why doesn't he use it on himself then? Because he wasn't hurt as bad as they were? Bullshit, what a terrible reason. What do feelings matter, take the path that would protect the guild the most. Since when did Luxus even care about such tripe? And you know your grandpa was nearly killed by this guy right, why the fuck aren't you more pissed? Just terrible, forced, contrived reasoning.
This chapter was terrible. This whole manga is terrible. UGH!!!
-
"The feelings in everyone's hearts"
Goddamn, Mashima, shut the fuck up.
-
I'm literally laughing out loud as I think about this chapter.
This is Fairy Tail.
-
Yeah…the action looked sweet...but then he takes one hit and taps out. Wtf, Luxus you are better than that. And this is why I hate Natsu. He's a cookie cutter shounen main character. Everything goes to him for no damn reason. Lightning fire? Good god...I think after this arc I will stop reading this manga. Such a let down this week.
-
Coudn't Laxus just start a fire, heal Natsu and use Union Magic instead? No Hiroy. Don't go there.
-
Mashima you fucking lame excuse for a mangaka.
-
EPIC CHAPTER! let's give Mashima a round of applause, for the lamest story-telling ever!
"thanks for the meal" my ass
-
Did Mashima have diarrhea when he decided to shit the bed this week? Holy crap that last part was terrible.
-
I'm just hoping the next chapter title will mean Natsu vanishes like Wendy, but doesnt get asspull saved by that spirit thing.
-
Well, that was pretty shit. Next week I think I'll just read the chapter, move on and forget about it until the next one comes out, the way FT should be read. Thank fuck we've got other, actually good series to read other than this contrived bollocks.
-
Yey we have another 1 time powerup so natsu can defeat the big bad.
-
Wow I don't know what to say. The ending with Natsu killed the whole chapter for me. I mean it made the chapter awful. I don't get Lightning making natsu stronger. i mean there's been no precedent for it. Just bam lightning fire. Awful. This is the worse thing in the arc for me.
-
Did Laxus actually just job to Natsu so Natsu could do the final fight instead?
This is exactly the sort of thing that makes Fairy Tail so shitty.
-
I literally laughed my ass off so damn hard at the end of this chapter.
Mashima the master.
-
So can we check off another box from the list?
-
…...Why Mashima,Why?
I was enjoying the fight a bit until......besides the all "lol i got hit once better give up" ,is magic that easy to transfer ? -
http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/69642871/19
There are so many questions in this page that can be answered with one simple word: BULLSHIT
This arc has no hope left.Edit: So, if Laxus could put his magic into Nasus, that mean that everyone can put magic in another person? Can't wait for the "Freezing Spiritual Blade Steel Sky Flame Dragon" then.
-
This is hilarious. And people expected something good out of Laxus' arrival! What do they think they read, not Fairy Tail?
-
Pure shit with this lightning fire … honestly Mashima would it be that bad if someone OTHER than Natsu beat the arc villain?
-
Mashima
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
He's done stuff like this in RAVE where Haru would get a power up and it still wouldn't matter
His skills at writing the protagonist have regressed massively since then.

So let me get this straight. Laxus is stronger than Natsu (obviously) and he could have kept on fighting but instead he gave up and gave all his powers to Natsu, because Natsu was affected by all that has happened the most.
Also, Makarov is his fucking grandfather and his foster father after his real father went evil, how the fuck does this not affect him ?

@Thousand:
So Luxus suddenly cares about the guild now when he was shitting all over it a few arcs ago?
The words your looking for is "atempted genocide of the whole guild and everyone else in the city just because some random shit trashtalked his guild in a bar".
Has anyone actualy considered how horrible of a person Laxus realy is ?
-
The chapter was okay for me - not good, but not terrible; just average. If Luxus won, it would be kind of ridiculous seeing as Hades had effortlessly beaten Makarov and fended off five opponents at once without suffering any major injuries. Luxus defending the guild didn't bother me, seeing as he still cared for it throughout his arc - that's the whole reason why his version of Fairy Law didn't work in the end. The other characters not doing anything was at least justified - before arriving at the ship, Gray could hardly stand, and Erza and Natsu were hardly better off, and that was before Hades started fighting them. The only major complaint I have was the power-up at the end, which came out of nowhere. We know that Natsu can eat fire, but barring Aetherion, he shouldn't be able to eat other elements, let alone get any power-ups from them.

Except it wouldn't be Natsu.
Natsu getting a random power up.
After fighting several other people.

Natsu beating Hades is more ridiculous than a relatively fresh Luxus beating him?
Jigga what? This chapter (and, honestly? this arc) was actually so bad that I am STRONGLY considering dropping this series.
-
Currently there must be nineteen fans fighting to put this cliffhanger as a crowning moment of awesome on tv tropes

Who's the biggest troll? Kubo or Mashima?!
-
Why would you call Mashima's usual bland modus operandi "trolling".
-
I was relatively okay with the chapter until the lightning stuff. Okay, there is a precedent for it in the Natsu vs. Jellal fight, but that was back during the time when Fairy Tail was more competent and hadn't resorted to the number of pants-on-head retarded antics that it does now.
Really, Mashima pretty much wrote himself into a corner by making Hades so strong he has to break the established power scale to have the heroes win. I guess there's still whatever Zeref is going to do to hold my interest, but…things aren't looking too good.
