Somehow all defeated foes are all together, back at full health like nothing ever happened or that everything was just a waste of time…So basically, Acnologia is going to enter the scene next and do his genocide thing. It makes good sense for him to showcase his power against the Spriggan when the Fairytail mages had a rough time with them.

That's what happens when you DON'T KILL THE NECROMANCER/HEALER/MEMORYTHINGUSERI wonder if the job of the repeated ones will be to take care of Aknologia.
Mashima basically made Jellal an incompetent buffon. This is gonna bad is the fights are gonna be a bunch of rematches wwe style. I hope the Scarlet vs Scarlet fight gets offpanel, Erza overcoming the odds for the 9000th time is already boring.

Isn't that gonna turn out to be Erza's mother?
-
They were stupid for not killing Jacob, Azir, Dimaria, and especially Neinhart. What was the point of keeping them alive? They would only have 5 enemies to fight excluding Brandish. @sabret00the:

She looks way too young to be her mother.
-
The Spriggans could easily win by just having DiMaria using Za Warudo then kill them right on the spot..

The reaction that everyone has when they realise she has red hair leads me to believe that they'll turn out to be related.
-
Brandish. She looks way too young to be her mother.
I don't think that makes much of a difference. You're either an old person, 18+ or a loli
-

That, the fact that we know nothing regarding her family, the fact that she is originally from Fiore, her surprised reaction when she saw Erza and acted surprised in a chapter called "Mother and Child"… Even though the mother ended up being Mavis and the child Fairy Tail, that seemed like a such a forced message at the end of the chapter that I wouldn´t be surprised if Mashima is just trying to be subtle and failing completely. With this being said, I still believe that she will end up being her Aunt or something. Fairy Tail has this bad habit where people related to any of the good guys can´t be bad guys. Or they end up being bad guys, but end up being good at the end. I look forward to the flashback where Erza´s mother is portrayed as an angel, dying either giving birth to Erza or stopping some magic or some crap like that, and Irene decides to leave the country because she lost her sister, only to end up turning good when she eventually faces Erza.

Let´s make a bet. The winner decides the subtitle of this thread. I bet she´s her aunt.

That's basically Brandish's story - with a little bit of interchanged roles. So will this whole scenario as well ridiculosly quick solved by some kind of stupid deus ex machina - right after the two finally met?
-
Was the hentai mind control rape collar really necessary? Seriously, she could've just been put back into a crystal or some other kind of generic magic stasis, but no. It's got to be a creepy plot device that looks like it came straight out of some sleazy porn fanfiction. @Horizon:

Because the fairy tail guild doesn't kill people(?) I think. I remember them making a big deal about being non-lethal early on.

Your right. I didn´t even recall that. I just really needed something to make the good aunt turned bad and naturally came up with that. Ultear had a somewhat similar background in terms of formula. Affected by past event> misguided> turns bad> turns good once she learned the truth. Same has Brady, Juvia (to a lesser extent) and I reckon, same has Irene.

Oh mother versus aunt, you're on!
-
I'll join in, but… Well, sister is too boring, isn't it? Hmm, how about cousine? But no, I say she's Erza's younger sister who for some reason just looks older. Maybe Brandish did shrink away her youth...?
-
The reaction that everyone has when they realise she has red hair leads me to believe that they'll turn out to be related.
Related, yes. Her mother? I'm not sold on that yet. She looks more like a sister to me. Could also be an aunt or cousin or something. @Black:

Most characters look age appropriate though. She should at the very least be slightly older than Gildarts was 8 years ago. Erza's mother would be older than Wakaba & Macao and they look like dirt. @SomeRandomGuy:

But they had no problems killing Tartaros members. Natsu was also about to kill Zeref & Gajeel just killed Bradman. I'd count Laxus killing Whal, but he's a robot.
-
Erza was a sword all along.
-
The glamoured "Fairy Tactician" who is also a great magician herself is reduced to helpless, scaredy-cat of a little girl only capable of glorifying how powerful her surrounding big shot enemies are.@maxterdexter:

Considering her dress-up themed magic, I'd say she's a mannequin.
-

Everything points out to that. Speaking of young looking parents with adult daughters where is Gildartz?
-

A lot of those times the villian died in a suicide attack and tartaros were all artifically created monsters so I don't know if they really count.
-

None of them died by suicide. Why wouldn't they count? They were still living beings regardless of how they came to be. Even if Fairy Tail didn't like killing people, Dimara & Neinhart weren't defeated by FT members so they should have died at least.
-
This chapter is another reminder of something I've been sick of from a long. Everything I know about S&M is from anime and manga, and it's only recently occured to me…why? Why do I know these things. Why were people listing the fetishes in play when Mirajane was killed last chapter? This manga isn't worth this horrible, horrible knowledge.
The glamoured "Fairy Tactician" who is also a great magician herself is reduced to helpless, scaredy-cat of a little girl only capable of glorifying how powerful her surrounding big shot enemies are.
…annnd this only makes it more infuriating. Women are being humiliated in this manga at an alarming rate and I'm pissed (also a bit of the last horse crossing the finish line, perhaps) because the reason lies in the author and not the story. Also, I'm a little sick of the fact that the scale of magic is so extreme that every top mage is jobbing out effortlessly. I mean, I know that makes sense from a story perspective but this is like the second time a mage has walked into the guild and floored Mavis. Is she the original guild leader and hundred year old mage who looks like a little girl, or an actual helpless little girl? This feels wrong on quite a few levels.
-
ok i don't really post here but wasn't that robot that wahl created and got defeated by the laxus squad a spriggan 12 member? or was he rahkeid's standin? who the hell is rahkeid?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
won't lie tho, that spread of the 12 plus zeref is top notch
-

Personally, I saw Mirajane's scene "that" way because of the way it's presented. The tired and defenseless Mirajane was punished by Irene with intention of making the former die a slow painful death. The nuance could have been different if Mirajane was still in her strongest demon form. Unfortunately, she was robbed the chance to actually put up a fight (after wasting energy on forgettable fodders) just to show off Irene's sadistic lulz. The way she restrained Mirajane didn't help the case either.
-

The robot was controlled by Wahl and pretending to be him. It was him by proxy.
-
Why can't mashima focus on better fetishes? Like my animal tf/furry fetish? I mean you just gave Irene that very exact power a few chapters ago. Just give me some cute animals without any of the pervert stuff and I won't complain!
-
who the hell is rahkeid?
He's supposedly an op guy whom we've never heard before and we must believe that he's strong enough to take on Acnologia. It got me thinking, what was the point of getting Fairy Heart in the first place if Irene, August and this new guy are hyped so astronomically high they probably could solo Acnologia? I'd call bullshit if Acnologia wipes floor with them all just to remind us of his own brand of plot armor, being vulnerable only to Dragon Slayer magic.

I'm the other way. Acnologia and for the most part other dragons are the one thing the manga has hyped extremely high and actually live up to expectations. If Acnologia one shots or even have a decent close fight (not sure Mashima knows what that is) with these guys I would be fine with. It would be bullshit to me if Acnologia gets threshed by them.
-
Didnt Erza's mother say that she rearranged the whole continent since she had acnologia before her eyes? Implicitly admitting she stood no chance?
-
Ok, it really feels like they skipped a chapter.
-
What a boring reintroduction of Gildartz.http://mangastream.com/r/fairy_tail/495/3561/1
-
YEEESSS!! Finally he's here. Would be funny if Zeref's 12 droogs will now also constantly state "This is truly the greatest wizard of FT/Fiore."
-
Damn Gildarts! Back again with the broken power level and unexplained magical powers. Badassery is real though!
-
Now that all enemies are on the same place, and we haven't seen laxus in a while. Its time for fairy law.
-
The problem is God Serena just doesn't work as credible villain.
-
Yea, he'll never live down the fact that Acnologia one-shot him wheras Gildarts survived his encounter albeit not without taking damage himself.
-
Go away side-characters.
-
Dang, Gildartz really changed in that time gone, and looks even more awesome. As much as I dislike him being a person to just come in to help solve a problem, he's always a fun character to see. Now it's time to see how many people he'll stomp, which I imagine could be as many as all the Spriggan that were already beaten before this.
-
Gildarts will always be the best part of this manga, that isn't fan service.
-
This was actually a good chapter. Nice and simple, with each character fighitng. Serena makes for a good obstacle until Gildartz arrives. Props.
-
It's been so long since Mashima has drawn Gildartz that he forgot what OP character he was based on. Instead of Shanks, he drew him as Rayleigh.
-
You know, I think it would be a better scenario if Makarov simply died way back then. What is the deal in having a guy who is the 3rd, 6th and 8th Master at the same time. And he can't do shit nowadays. Only if I am missing something of course.
-
Now that all enemies are on the same place, and we haven't seen laxus in a while. Its time for fairy law.
I still think Mashima has forgotten that move exists, as both Laxus and Makarov could end this.
-

Well Rayleigh is just older Shanks, more or less.
-
This is a real dangerous war where people may die, the world might end and the opponents are far stronger etc. Yet there is not even a glimpse of suspense, such a shame.
-
Was that the girl who was Cobra's snake with Minerva?
-
So lame they had to nerf the revived characters so the side characters get to shine, also how come a weakened Ur was able to hold both Gray and Lyon? That makes them look so bad…
-
Sure, picking Romeo over other background fodders to express anxiousness and fear was quite sensible choice, but damn, it just didn't work for me after all. The atmosphere was too light-hearted to begin with, with any possible tension lifted as soon as Gildarts had arrived.
-
So, despite fighting each other for days now noone gets taken out. Instead, both parties are still increasing their roster. We already have countless people puddled together everywhere, not counting the faceless fodder guys.
I suppose the amount of half naked blonde girls are in the double-digits right now. I mean One Piece got critizised for all those fights which got nowhere at Marineford. But this starts to feel like plain occupying your sidecharacters with senseless (aside from fanservice) and inconclusive battles, stalling for time until the MCs finally decide the outcome. -
Serena got oneshotted in every fight he participated in. The strongest mage of Ishgar everyone.. (even though he was nerfed it's still kinda pathetic.)
-

Technically, he kinda owned in his first fight against Jura and Co. He lives in extremes.
