LOL. Mashima really seems to enjoy his manga.

That fake dragon slayer witht he snake…
How can his snake fly?
And why are there snakes on this motherfucking plane?
Anyone here seen Anaconda?
That shit was hugeEspecially that part where to dude falls off the waterfall and gets eaten before his hit the water.
I was like "shyyyiit"
I didn't know snakes could eat people for no reason
It wasn't even hunting prey or fighting for territory either
This snake just wanted to eat people for giggles and shitsOh I think I answered my own question. The dude with snake. His snake flew because it was for giggles and shits.
Just like how the snake in this chapter got cut in half. It didn't really die. It was bluffing. For giggles and shits.Good read or watch the fight it has fking wings!
-
Wow the first time a get to know some full names of characters I care about.
What are you talking about, we got Semas' name, and that's all I care about.
-
Gajeel and Laxus mainly.
-
@Law:
Good read or watch the fight it has fking wings!
OMG
Motherfking wings
It has fking wings!Dude. I don't care
-
lol, Gajeel's and Laxus' stats are the best.
-
Uh oh, power levels? Seriously? I stopped taking those seriously a long time ago. Everybody knows that some friend will always give Natsu power and turn him into a god. Happens almost every arc…Or better yet, he'll use up "tomorrow's share"...
-
Wait, if Yukino is a newbie, does this mean that she's not one of the 5 wizards that made Sabertooth what they are now?
Only Rogue and Sting elevated Sabertooth
Damn Natsu isn't that strong I thought he'd have 5's across the board
-
So… Rogue>Sting?
-
Natsu seems to be pretty on par for a shonen protagonist. I am surprised that Gajeel seems to have a slight edge over him. I'd thought they'd be equal.
Heck, forget Natsu and Gajeel, what really surprises me is that on paper Yuuka seems to edge out Leon. Not bad for a guy who was defeated in a single punch when he first appeared.
-
Did I read that right….Gajeel can sing really awesome? And that guy from Sabertooth also can sing...Are we gonna get a singing battle?
-
No point arguing over these rankings. They are made by the REPORTER for the games fans. Its like grabbing a brochure at a sporting event to see who's what number and so on.
Not to mention his rankings are based on Fairy Tail team A & B from 7 years ago.
This is NOT a databook by the author. If it was it would not have any question marks anywhere.
Not to mention where is everyone. I don't see Bacchus' ranking

This was supposed to be made before the start of the games. Bacchus was not part of the QC team at the time.
This applies to all reserve members, like Wendy and Jenny.
-
Wasn't Wendy a starter but got bumped ot reserve due to her missing?
But all i'm saying is this Ratings/Power/whatever is not to be taken as 100% accurate. Its supposed to be from the reporters point of view, who is not hiro, but a character in the manga. He is basing on his knowledge of the characters he has, and basing his fairy tail stuff on 7 years ago.
I mean hell look at Elfman's stats and Erza's. Look how insane erza is compared to him yet he beat someone that is supposedly her equal.
-
Wasn't Wendy a starter but got bumped ot reserve due to her missing?
Yeah, but Elfman was on during the qualification, whereas Bacchus came on during the 2nd day of the tournament proper.
-
Did I read that right….Gajeel can sing really awesome? And that guy from Sabertooth also can sing...Are we gonna get a singing battle?
Now I want to see a singing battle.
-
The power levels makes sense.
Well
When Natsu isn't dues exing that is. -
So how many points does the flame of rebuke add to Natsu?
-
I also want to see a singing battle….so one day it can be animated (the one I heard before was awesome)
-
Is FT considered for a Fourth Season?
-
Yeah, it's been confirmed that it'll go past April a while ago, no need to worry. Plus with the movie coming in August it would be odd for the series to end.
-
Well you never know….
-
The power levels makes sense.
Well
When Natsu isn't dues exing that is.Which is every arc climax ever, isn't it ?

Yeah Wendy's cat said Lucy would be singing so it will most likely be the last game of the tournament.
-
! From the looks of those spoiler pics, we might see Sabretooth's guildmaster (if he's the guy with the beard and those giant Akuma-like beads around his neck).
-
! That's that cat-girl from the Tower of Paradise arc isn't it? And she's…evil..now..?
Oh ha, the board really does say Quattro Puppy.
-
! That's that cat-girl from the Tower of Paradise arc isn't it? And she's…evil..now..?
! Yeah. It's Millianna. It seems she still has a grudge against Jellal and joined Mermaid Heel because Kagura also happens to have a grudge against Jellal.
-
! glad to see milliana after so long
-
! I like that I can read the spoilers and still be surprised when the chapter releases cause I don't remember any of the people that get mentioned.
-
It's out, wow that part with the stellar mage was kinda seinen no?
-
Wow, things are heating up. Everyone knew that Miliana was that girl in Mermaid Heel, I'm just glad it's finally confirmed.
So Kagura will be fighting Erza at some point, huh? It's gonna be good. And that Sabertooth shiz is serious business. Their master is whack. I'm looking forward to seeing the female replacement for Yukino.
Seems like Mashima is doing a good job of making each guild stand out in their own way; I seriously thought MH and QC would be complete fodder from the start of the tourney, but they've had moments of recognition too. -
Hah, Gerard going to be the center of something once again. Didn't expect it to be this soon.
-
So Kagura and Milleanna want to kill Jellal
Gemma runs his guild like a mob boss
Erza still getting kicked in the gut over her feelings for JellalNext chapter is most definitely about Lucy getting Yukino's keys.
-
Hah, Gerard going to be the center of something once again. Didn't expect it to be this soon.
Always expect Gerard.
! Always.
-
Rogue is apparently less of a dick than Sting. Go figure.
Some suffering of Suzuhito Yasuda-syndrome, I see.
-
So, in this chapter, Erza meets a catgirl. While it's probably the most interesting Gerald development in a long time, however, I can't get over how useless that flashback panel is for someone who doesn't remember Millenia. A panel where she says a random line doesn't cut it.
Yukino removes the rock of shame only to put on the stone of triumph. Otherwise, I'm liking this insight into Sabertooth. The other dragonslayer is leading this plot line into a more interesting direction.
-
Something felt really wrong about this chapter.
Offensive almost. -
Gemma is a piece of shit. Get 5 mages who actually get your guild on the map and then act like big shit and treat your guild like shit. Wow.
-
Normal chapter, except Gerard's gonna have attention for the next chapters.
-
What's wrong with Gerard anyways?
-
Gerard is the emo Sasuke wishes he could be…
Anyway, it is nice to see Millie again, but I would have liked to see the square gangster guy again...
Sabretooth further cementing their doucheness...no surprise there. I wa a little put off by the Stellar Mage being made to strip, but ehh...
-
Gemma told that bitch to get the fuck out of his guild LIKE A BOSS
but joking aside, the dudes a dick.

This post is deleted!

What's wrong with Gerard anyways?
This was posted here a long time ago by somebody.
! It begins all the way from his point of origin in Rave, where he held essentially the same role as he does in Fairy Tail. Despite Mashima's love of him, it never felt like he put any too much thought into him, other than deciding to give him a nice hair cut. Even the names were very similar (Sieg Hart / Siegrain).
! When it was finally Gerard's time to shine, he hadn't done anything to reverse my negative first impressions of him , and we were now dealing with two different versions of him. I wasn't a big fan of the Seigrain half, but we also got the variation of Gerard who was sitting at the top of the Tower of Paradise acting like a fairly commonplace antagonist. At this point we've got two Gerards; One I did not like, and one that was ok. I also liked his relationship with Erza at first. And had he died like we thought he had, he would've been a way cooler character to me, 'cuz frankly he would've went out in an awesome way.
! But anyway… Surprise, surprise, the very next arc following Tower of Paradise climaxes with the big reveal of Mystogan, a really cool character up until this point, taking off his mask and revealing himself to be some sort of clone of a character I now double dislike. Of course, I'm not excited, but if Mystogan had actually done anything cool after revealing his face, I might have not cared and accepted him as "The Cool Gerard." He just ran off tailoring to Mashima's penchant for off screen nonsence.
! Again, the very next arc, a huge plot point ends up being… Gerard! This time it's much, much worse. He comes back with one of the most lame cliches in writing - amnesia. Now I don't mind if something is cliche as long it entertains, but it didn't really. This essentially means he's got a new personality - and a terrible one at that. While I thought Gerard did do a couple of mildly cool things, his presence only further deteriorated Erza's character and he stepped in at the final moments to provide the essential deus ex machina Natsu needed to win. The Flame of Rebuke, something so integral to the final fight, literally come out of nowhere.
! And to no one's surprise, the succeeding arc revolves around his clone again, who seems to have removed his mask for the final time. Seeing as how Mystgun is a different person, I've still got a little hope for his character. But no, even Mystgun's involvement becomes convoluted.
! Would it have killed Mashima if he had at least hinted at the existence of that "prince" beforehand? Like Panther Lily or some other unhappy bloke in the king's army saying "if only the prince were still alive", or something like that. Unsurprisingly Mystgun still manages to combo break the ending of the arc by having his suicide be their saving grace. He opts for the Watchmen/Dark Knight/Lelouch-esque ending and fails to follow it through successfully anyway. Gazille, Wendy, and Natsu manage to bring it back through comedy thankfully.
! In short, the hatred for Gerard is summed up as: Gerard is annoying. He shows up constantly, and never makes the story any better for it. Mashima tries to sell him as a martyr unsuccessfully. He's a recycled character design to begin with, and then he's constantly recycled within the story itself. He never does anything that anyone likes, cares about, or wants to see.Basically most everything concerning Gerard becomes contrived and convoluted. He also turns Erza into mush, undermining one of the more salvageable characters of the series. C-c-c-combo breaker~ courtesy of Gerard!
-
I want you guys to do a project. You know that smug smile Gerard usually shows?
I dare you to crop every panel Gerad shows that face from the begining to the end of the series.
Then place it on a single compliation image.
And finally tell me the differences.If you do the last part successfully, I would drop my bad rap with the character forever.
-
Really? We complain about the fanservice every week, but the week where Mashima makes a character strip and then uses a speech bubble to cover her asscrack we go back to Jellal-bashing?
I get so confused.

Welcome to the thread, have a cookie…
-
Clearly the thread knows where its priorities lie.
-
Let's talk about how great Gerard is instead. I like that smug smile he recycles every time he appears.
I am confused.
