Also the fight next chapter could be interesting now that we've finally got a fight that isn't just 1 Vs 1.
Spoiler: Erza will win. After being first overpowered by the other two.

thougt the same thing when read that as well
And zirconis even after being dead how many centuries ago his able to troll lava just thanks to a collar(god just wish that dragon wasn't dead)
Weird. I think I mentioned something about the possibility of Arcadios having Jade magic. Should have connected the dots to Zirconius… But I didn't know the Princess' name meant Jade, too. At least that explains how he survived the Lava. This three-way battle between Minerva, Erza, and Kagura should be interesting, though we all know Erza will win in the end. Also, hopefully we'll get the mysterious woman's identity, finally, in two or three chapters.
Yeesh, I know this is mostly a joke, but get a hold of yourself First! I can't believe your predictions are jobbing already just to create drama. At least this fight will be interesting.

Are you absolutely sure ??
Remember Natsu and Gajeel vs Sabertooth, or Laxus vs. Raven tail.
All of the fights till now have been a huge dissapointment, so I wouldn't be so sure about it.
Since every fight since ch. 1 has taken at most 2 chapters. Be ready guys for this threesome fight to not take any more chapters than that as well.
I hope this becomes standard and all chapter titles from now on become sex related things.
"3 girls, one friendship"
The First is adorable. You gotta love that character no matter what.
For next week there are two questions that shall be answered.
1. Who is the hooded girl?
2. How's the threesome fight going to go down? Erza winning would be too predictable somehow so my bet's on her and Kagura teaming up on Minerva cause she's… well she's a bitch.
Erza's definitely not gonna win if she beats both of them Fairy Tail just took down two team leaders and get the cap for both of them. No continuing the tournament since FT victory would be assured then

Hah, we just switched back to the main fights, so methinks we'll be waiting some more.

Well yeah that much is obvious, this is fairy tail. What I meant was we could get some nice looking panels and action sequences which I feel has been lacking recently. Maybe it's because recenltlyall I remember are a bunch of character throwing wind, ice and fire which all look the same to me
This was a pretty good chapter. I didn't expect Mashima to give a reason for the whole walking through lava thing so that was nice and unexpected.
Dude, it's obvious he just came up with that for this chapter.
The princess will be revealed as the Jade Dragon Slayer. :ninja:
@Zik:
LOL @ "Threesomes"
Oh Hiro.
I skimmed the chapter out of boredom and that was the only relevant thing I saw that was worth discussing.
Now I kinda want to see what happens next week. But won't. I know how good Hiro is with hooks.
Besides the fact that the princess is a dumb ass, GREAT chapter. The manga's getting better again. The fixed the Acardios n Loke PnJ n that ending statement with Minerva was hilarious. But why is Natsu overeacting?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I bet Erza n Sword Chick (SC) wail on #1 Bitch (mervana) but SC finds out about jellel x erza n beats erza with that cat hirl. Then Rogue vs Gajeel where rogue wins somehow or rogue beats juvia n gajeel whoops his ass. Laxus vs that big guy n the winner vs Baldy.But this probably wont happen
My guess is that Rogue will interfere with the fight, because we'll see a flashback where Minerva threatens him that if they lose, she'll kill Lector. Rogue's interference will cause Kagura and Erza to be KOed.
My guess is that none of them will team up - Erza seems like she'd want to go after Minerva for brutally beating up Lucy, Minerva might target Kagura because she humiliated Sabretooth earlier, and Kagura is probably going to attack Erza because Fairy Tail's hiding Jellal. At some point, the situation might take a turn for the worse for Minerva, so she'll use her powers to escape, since fights generally become one-on-one in this series. (though it could stay as a free-for-all - we'll just have to see)
So, the question is, Is minerva the captain of the team?
I would assume so, since she has the most authority. Then again, she's replacing Yukino, so Sting is probably still in charge.
There. That was what I wanted to see earlier. An explanation for surviving wading through lava.
Princess Jade Dragon Slayer has a nice ring to it lol. Or I'm wondering if she has the connection the same way Grandine (sp?) has to the dragon's too.
Spoiler: Erza will win. After being first overpowered by the other two.
Error. Minerva will get trolled by Kagura pulling out her sword and then will have the real battle with Erza. Everyone should know by now ST can just show-off.
stopped readin after the first couple pages to just comment on how meaningless the discussion about Arcadeous surviving the lava was lol
Good thing that the lava thing was explain. Is there some relation between Jade and magma?

Yeah, but that was a fight against a bunch of pretty boys. This is a "threesome" according to that text blurb. I think this guy will pay for more attention to it.
It's really amusing how many people you can count every week that come into this thread only to state that they don't read this manga.
Has to be the manga that has the most non-readers that feel the need to visit the thread every week.
I never said that I dropped the manga or anything…Plus I almost never post here as it is, who cares if I read the past 3-4 chapters or not. I just don't really find the new turn it's taking with these new characters interesting so I'm taking a break...I'm fine with watching stuff like the OVAs since those are mostly comedy and goofing off.
Who knows though, maybe I will drop it in the future. Never dropped a manga series before though so it'd be kinda weird for me I think.
Is there a reason Mirajsne's dressed like that? Think about the children
Poor Ace… If he only had Jade when comfronting Akainu...

Yes… I am one of them! I used to read Fairy Tail, but then for obvious reasons I stopped; however, I find the groans, insults and disappointments fans and readers display for the Fairy Tail chapters equally (if not more) entertaining than the series itself. Last week's reaction had me in stitches XD. I can't wait for Mashima to mess up some more!

Last weeks mess up was completely fixed this week. So they all looked like fools this week.
Not really no, the way that it was solved just proves that it was just made up on the spot, now if it was revealed on the chapter that it happened there wouldn't be a problem or if it had some foreshadowing.
Its just seems like after he made the last chapter someone told him "dude there is no way he could have survived that" and he came up with a random answer in this chapter.
Actually it validates our complaints more than anything.
Really, a random magical item? It would have been nice if it were foreshadowed in some way. Or we had an explanation on how it worked (does it harden flesh, repel lava, what?). Or had any sort of indication that something magical was going on. It comes off more as a cheap excuse thought up on the spot rather than a validation of that plot point.
That's not even addressing our primary complaint which was the total tension killer that scene was, how lame it made the lava look and by extension destroys any sort of suspense for dangerous situations because the characters are never in any real danger. Mashima will just come up with another poorly explained magical McGuffin to get them out of trouble.
You know, I would have accepted that that Arcadios survived that lava because he was so ripped. Don't even know why the explanation was needed.
For serious, this doesn't seems like a big deal if you just accept that Arcadios is a bad ass. It's worked with so many character in other shonen manga.
Yeah it didn't really need to be explained I would have fully accepted he's just awesome like that
Some people watch LOTR and see all the battles and get immersed in the setting others watch LOTR and wonder how its possible for orcs and goblins in full plate armor to get killed by a single slash.
Alas the nature of nitpicking

But the orcs are getting stab and slashed on the skin area not covered by the armor
As I said earlier. That past chapter seems in some ways less stupid with the amulet explanation. But that's hindsight. The reason for him surviving lava shoulda been placed in that chapter, not after the fact. Especially since it was a short explanation. It overall wasn't executed well, in my opinion.
I expect an orc to be tough based on what I know about orcs. We knew pretty much nothing about this guy. I wouldn't expect him to survive it. He seemed like a regular human for all I could tell.

Is this post for real?
Acardias survived because his nose resembles usopp n the lava was all like," Usopp my nigga, we aint gonna lett you die,dawg". Think about the children
@Money:

Today must be quark day. In the beginning of all of Smiley's post he/she puts axolotl, axolotl, axolotl. At the end of zachri's post she mentions that Captain Kidd is the best SN. And now you Money and Spades… all day you have been putting think about the children at the end of your post.
I'm not complaining or anything like that… I actually think its awesome and I hope it doesn't die. I want to do one too!!!

LOL I see!! What a fantastic idea!
So I was rewatching the fighting festival arc last episode in dub.:'( I will never accept a non French accent Juvia.( Thank you unofficial dub). Laxus and Gajeel have awesome voices but Levi…..... No
Fairy Tail DUB is terrible
Still seems like a "Mashima you goddamn retard, lava doesn't work that way" moment where he decided to go with A MCGUFFIN DID IT! Lets see of the jade amulet is ever revealed to do anything again or anything consistent or if it just becomes that deus ex machina of the arc.
As for the apologists, read my previous posts on the matter, Arcadios is no Kongoh Bancho.
Might as well start asking why Natsu never kills anyone with his fire. At least that doesn't seem so inadequate

When has Natsu ever set someone completely alight with his flames? Even so the two don't compare because Acardias basically went swimming in God damn lava!
Also, it has been established (AMAZING HOW STORIES FLOW WHEN CONCEPTS ARE ESTABLISHED!) that Natsu is no killer, so he never goes in with the intention of doing a deathblow. He is not Kurei from Flame of Recca, he will not burn an opponent to cinders (that and his fire behaves more like the flashy colours that acompany his punches or kicks, but that's a gripe for another day…). I'd dare say that healing magic works decently enough here (again, established that it exists) to cure the "burn marks" everybody facing Natsu should be packing. Also, fire has been a shounen standard power for ages, it is already asumed that it won't be as damaging as the real thing (no matter how lame that is) since it's been a main character power for decades, lava on the other hand is not subverted that way, Akainu melted a guy's face and punched clean through a strong character. If there had been decades of manga where lava was a joke attack I'd probably just whince, think "this again" and follow it up with an "oh well...", but it ain't the case, when lava appears it's usually a "the stakes have risen" moment.
Like stated, it's a fantasy story, fantasy does not equal shitty writting that can be used without batting an eye. A good fantasy world has consistency by it's own established rules, Fairy Tail barely has any consistency within itself and that's outright criminal in a series that barely does any world building.
Also, before I get the "then why do you read it" comment, it's because it entertains me, doesn't cost me a dime and lets me come in here to bash the hell out of it XD If I actually had to pay for Fairy Tail I would have stopped reading years ago.
Your not complaining about consistency though you're saying that Arcadios should have melted because he's a regular human and stepping in lava would melt you. Natsu shouldn't technically be able to breathe at all since earlier in the manga Hiro said he creates a low pressure zone around him when he fights. Technically being that close to Lava would have killed Lucy and Yukino anyway due to the sulfur.
That's common sense but ultimately common understandings are abandoned in a fantasy world with different rules about everything. If you didn't know its not actually possible for Lava to snuff out fire or for someone who can exert enough energy to cut buildings apart failing to cut a body part off that's manga logic for you.
I don't try to justify my nitpicks by throwing logic into everything when the story I'm reading clearly doesn't even follow those rules. You got an explanation for why Arcadios just got burned don't make it seem like the problem is anything other than it being a plot device for his survival. Hiro could have just left it as is and I'd still say its dumb to complain about since the way all of you have phrased made it seem like the problem wasn't anything other than how preposterous it all was.
Hiro said that about Natsu's powers? That's something I over looked and is also a bit dumb.
