@MJM:
I guess I missed this but.. when did he say Porylusica was the Edolas counterpart of Grandeeny?
Was the chapter or two right before the Grand Magic Games started.

So, how do manga authors help make a character popular if they aren't given any screen time to develop into a character we can care about?
A. Filler.
B. Certain personalities and abilities click well with people, more so than others. For example, Hinata has the same abilities as Neji with only a slightly different move set, but everyone likes her more due to her appearance and shy personality.
I'm kind of laughing my ass off over this discussion of why Mira isn't in this team. Probally the most important thing that should have happened in the whole series. Definately.
Second to how we should view the chubby, this is the critical moment of the series.
Mirajane's snub from the final team will come back to haunt Fairy Tail, mark my words!
Isn't lucy kinda OP anyway if she uses Gemini?
Theoretically she can just copy Makarov or Gildartz and destroy the entire Sabertooth if she feels like it.

Nope. During her fight against Flare, it was said that Gemini can't copy someone who's much stronger than themselves.
never underestimate the chubby

sigh I wish Lucy was at least half as useful as a final fantasy summoner. They at least have other magic to use on top of just calling out something else to fight for them. Yuna sucked but she could at least heal damn good.
! Well, I certainly wasn't expecting the rabbit to be that of all things.
! I understand why Mashima kinda rushed to get to the main event, Fairy Tail vs. Sabertooth, but I wish we saw more from Lamia Scale vs. Mermaid Heel.
What kind of name is Quadro Puppy?
It makes Quadro Vagina(villain name in another series) sound tame.
Will comment on this chap after I read it later. Maybe. Busy as hell at the moment.
My head just went through the wall. Just wow.
16 chars of DRAGONS!!!!
http://www.mangainn.com/manga/chapter/89149_a-perfume-given-to-you/page_10 Excuse me, I'm going to watch an orphanage burning down to the ground to make me feel something after this.

http://www.mangainn.com/manga/chapter/89149_a-perfume-given-to-you/page_13 Well that's one way to not have to not include Fairy Tail. Just offscreen the whole fight.
That was…horrifying.
I know this was sorta a calm before the storm thing but I really could've did without half the chapter being dedicated to this guy. And yeah I'm disapointed too that the Lamia Scale/Blue Pegasus battle got pushed to the wayside like that. Pity.
But hey dragons and more Dragon Slayer battles, so this chapter wasn't a complete waste.
I actually laughed. The odd drama ontop of something so silly is like that Sock chapter again. Love it lol.
So we finaly have the supposed main plot of the series manifest itself. Too bad it's three pages of hollow, eventless non-exposition.

I did laugh at the Ichiya fight seeming to parody all the friendship BS this series loves to spout all the time.

Or….any of it.
Honestly the first part was lame as fuck. Especially the rabbit's reveal since I thought it might be someone interesting and not just Ichiya's cat counterpart. The rushed second battle I can somehow understand since Kagura's powers aren't supposed to be shown yet. But the last few pages made up for the lame start. The dragon slayer battle is about to commence and we got to see fuckin' Igneel. So looking forward to the battle and the Dragon King festival.

Just pointing out that this time I'm actualy not bitching and actualy defending something from this chapter. Just so people who claim all I do is bitch will….stop saying that.
Because I think the Ichiya fight seemed like a perfect parody of the cheesy recycled "serious" friendship fights and bonds inner-monologue crap this series loves so much.
Sadly, it did kinda kill Bakchus' hype for his supposedly being a match for Erza, when he get taken out by the guy who'se most major contribution so far was getting beaten and kidnaped by random mooks.

It makes Quadro Vagina(villain name in another series) sound tame.
Thought Quatro Puppy was the renaming of Quatro Cerberus after bet with Elfman.
Dumb chapter. But vaguely funny.

I completely forgot about that.
I completely forgot about that.
Really? You forgot that moment of intense emotional resonance?
I've probably forgotten 70% of Fairy Tail by now.
At first I was like "is that guy making out with Lucy?!?".
Gave me a small scare there.
This chapter was funny
Another reaction face for Ichiya
That was Bachus?
He was a lame character before, but wow.
My wailing on the character feels more justified now.
Good lord, what have you wrought?
That's like some terrorist hypnotism shit right thar.
I can't stop looking at it!
Nothing that I wouldn't expect from Mashima. Atleast some plot next chapter, hopefully.

Who is it then? Sherry?
That woman on Blue Pegasus. Jennifer, I think.
…and somehow I did not notice that on my first readthrough. Get a room you two!
Ah, ok. Because if it was Sherry I'd expect Tsundere guy to do a lot more then yell at his bishie guildmate.
This was a fun chapter
Too bad Gazille will most likely get stomped by one of the "cool and edgy" dragon slayers.
This proves that they did not kill their dragons and that they only said it to get natsu mad which means the sabre tooth is going to either lose or be destroyed by zeref/dragons so that the dragon slayers can join fairy tail lol.

she told wendy herself after the time skip so where does this he come from?
Really wanted to see Kagura in action, but her fight is off-paneled and instead I get that ugly mofo and his mini-me beating two fodders. At least the Dragon Slayers will finally fight next chap.
So how will Natsu win this time? We know he will win becasue I have never seen manga main charecter with stronger plot-armour than Natsu, has he ever lost anything in this series? So question is what is the random power that he pulls out of his rectum this time?
I think ''THEYR MAI FRIENDZZZ HURR DURR!!'' powerup.
has he ever lost anything in this series?
besides Makarov and Erza, he has only lost to that Owl dude who used rocket magic to fight.
It bothers me more that Gazille has been unable to win a fight in his own since he joined the guild. Him getting beaten by 2 random goons was the worst part of the Tenrou Island arc.
Apart from the last few pages, the chapter was cr*p.
I am glad though, that we got to the sabertooth vs. FT so quickly, and did not waste anymore chapters on the other fights.
Wow showing the lame fight and skipping the probably good/interesting one?
Nice Mashima!
But I got admit I'm curious about the Dragon Slayer fight and the Dragon King Festival

Ow Fukuro, how I miss thee !
I'm a little thrown, after showing all five fighters how will doing these 2v2 fights work? Will the rest be 3v3 or will someone fight solo? Cause Natsu and Gajeel fighting first worries me, will we even see the rest of the fights?

He lost to Gildarts and Makarov and Ezra. Of all the their my friends power ups Natsu has the least, he has the flame of rebuke and etherion and then he ate Mancrow's flames. So apart from Hades his others have been lucky wins, special energy, or tag teams. So I'm guessing you don't read the series or you just enjoy hating FT, because you seem to know little about it. All that said I wasn't "hooked" until the Tenroujima arc was in full swing

They will fight Sabre tooth 5 vs 5 another time i don't think they will win the 2 vs 2 because that iron/metal slayer only has 1 dragon slayer element so they will lose this time which means they will have a rematch later and win which will be a 5 vs 5!
the 5 vs 5 will be against that mermaid heel guild because they want to kill gerald/jerald lol.

That sort of means jackshit when you see the results. Natsu's losses to Erza and Makarov are in a comical fashion and never for realsies, more importantly, yes Erza is a beast, but Makarov has been a walking punching bag the whole series taking a beating almost every time he goes into a fray. Erza herself is a beast, but if Erza became DARK Erza and NAtsu had to fight her for realsies, I assure you it would be nowhere near as one sided and hell, would probably be another BS win for Natsu. Finally, yes, he lost to Gildartz and it was awesome, but it seemed the objective of that was to teach Natsu humility and that there are bigger fish out there and sometimes you have to accept that the shit hit the fan, well, a few chapters later he fights a guy who is superior than him in every way, magically is able to eat his "fire" and whomps the hell out of him. We could have had a very cool persecution arc with Fairy Tail having to keep a low profile while they licked their wounds and Makarov in an unknown situation of "is he dead?", instead of that we got bullshit wins (except Gazeele who got a crap roll and was nuked by two schumks, supposedly to show is that this guys were so damn awesome Fairy Tail didn't have a chance) and the need to do an unnecesary "time skip" since Fairy Tail already nuked the supposedly most bad ass black guild EVAR.
The A exam was such a horrible waste of an arc it makes me want to cry with how awesome it started and what makes Natsu so bloody hateful is he never loses any serious fight no matter how outgunned he should be, Christ, Luffy has lost is fare share of fights, Goku died on us a couple of times. It's important to lose once in a while to give a sense of growth and also to make the world feel bigger and scarier, hell, before the OP time skip the mugis had lost a crap ton of fights and gave it all a grand scale of "you are still such small fish in this big world", it made the timeskip have weight to it.
You are going in circles
Okay so you said Natsu wins all his fights but that isn't true but that doesn't matter because the real issue is that you want Natsu to lose a fight?
Tell me if this makes sense to anyone else
Also yeah Natsu lost his fight against Cobra so there's another.
So how will Natsu win this time? We know he will win becasue I have never seen manga main charecter with stronger plot-armour than Natsu, has he ever lost anything in this series? So question is what is the random power that he pulls out of his rectum this time?

Its's obvious that he's going to eat Gazille's iron element and become a fire lightening iron armour dragon slayer.
I think Rogue and Sting have mentioned it too, that they both possess two dragon slayer elements each, Gazille feels so out of his depth in this fight.

Reminds of how people constantly complain that Natsu is the constantly the one to take on the big bad, when Fairy Tail is far better at letting different people fight the big bad than, for example, One Piece. Granted, it's very often Natsu who deals the final punch, but he's not the only one to weaken the villain. Actually, it's only the Macao, Lullaby, Tower of Heaven and Oracion Seis arcs where Natsu has taken on the big bad solehandedly. In several of the earlier arcs (Daybreak, Galuna Island and Phantom Lord) it was another person, and in three of the more recent it has been a team battle (Fighting Festival, Edolas, Tenrou Island). In One Piece, it is ALWAYS Luffy who takes down the main villain except for the Morgan arc and some of the arcs like Loguetown, Sabaody and Impel Down/Marineford where no-one defeats the main villain.

Did you use to post on mangastream because i remember someone with your name that use to post there
Do we have any idea from the story why Igneel and the other dragons are training folk to surpass them? I quite frankly can't remember.
Given Igneel's speech and the other villain that is trying to gather magical energy, I don't think there will be a victor.
They'll probably attack each other so much, the arena is destroyed, but I would guess this will be a tie, or at least Natsu and the other blonde dude remain standing if Gajeel falls (which would suck).
On the plus side, we finally see the dragons again, the one thing people complained about for the past 2 years.
@Law:
she told wendy herself after the time skip so where does this he come from?
I was referring to Mashima.
This chapter was one of the main reasons I hate the Fairy Tail manga. Everything is rushed… -_-
Also, he's not a Perfume Dragon Slayer, he can't have an Exceed. : p
