by the name of the next chapter ("at one time"), it sounds as though it will be a flash back chapter >__<;

Aw poor Gerard. I wasn't expecting Erza to win. Luxus vs Hades maybe? or flashback? And what about Grey?

I agree, I thought someone else will pull through instead of Erza always shouldering these responsibilities, I thought she did that a few arcs ago.

That being said, she still has alot to face on her own.

Poor Gerard

-Couldn't help but LOL at the cover (Poor Gazille xD)
-OMG Gerard ;__; My heart wrenched a little when one of the frog-looking guys decided to use some torture method
-OMG Erza's back up. I thought that was the end of her (or at least I thought she couldnt fight anymore..). Good to see her defeat Azuma (though I do wish Mashima was a little more creative with it).
-"These guys' real strength....is neither 'individual' nor it's 'sum'" = Then what is FT's real strength? I'm really curious about that. (I'm assuming it's "conviction" since he mentioned it...or their unwavering friendship and strong feelings for each other)

Even though it was a little cliche-ish, I still manage to (kind of) enjoy this chapter. Maybe because I love Erza too much lol.

And I actually couldn't help but pity Gerard. Maybe because I love him too much too.

What do you guys think will happen next...now that Erza has defeated Azuma? The whole "At one time" really gives off the feeling or impression that there will be a flashback. The question is: Whose flashback will we see?

Yeah guys, damn Jellal for wishing to bring freedoms for all those kids, damn him for saving Erza, damn him for doing all those things by his own will!!! Damn him!!! He is just a worthless asshole compared to Luxus who put the life of all people in the tower in danger, forced all the guild mates to fight against and nearly killed each other, and just got terminated. Poor him right? Oh and I forget Gajeel, I feel so sorry for him for beating up Levy and her mates, nailing them on the trees, destroy FT and nearly killed Lucy, but I'm glad that he joins Fairy Tail now *roll eyes*


Anyway, this chapter is beyond cheesy, but since I don't care about FT much more so it's kinda expected, Mashima doesn't care much about this series anyway....

Really again? I was hoping for Erza to get a beat down at least but of course typical comeback, what was up with the Gerrad thing, his voice being heard and support. Where is Luxus he needs to join this fight.

Gerard wasnt bad guy at first. He was brainwashed by Ultear/Fake Zeref.
This wasn't a bad chapter. I see this like that. Erza power lvl dropped a bit after Gerard being put to jail. Now that She was on the edge Gerard could feel it. I'm sure they still are connected by some bond or that it reestablished just now giving Erza sudden power up.
Or maybe Mashima just wanted to fix the tree fast so that other FT members can fight again and move the plot forward :D

Uh... That chapter is okay, but...
If I were Mashima, I would probably let Erza and everyone lose this battle and Laxus would have to come back... Or even another guild to rescue. (At least I want to see strip-duo Lyon and Gray again XD)
Ah I feel sad that Gajeel isn't able to fight since he's injury >.>
I'm starting to worry about Gray since he meets Ultear.

Forced, and cheap as hell. I knew this would happen. Same with Natsu. Almost dead at the end of the chapter and then he is miraculously allive and well at another. This is the one thing I hate in Shonen anime/manga. Good character can take punishment non-stop for 24 hours and he/she would still feel fine because of the will power. And then it only takes one move to finish off the powerful enemy. There is nothing cool about this chapter. Plot victory, nothing more. Disappointing.

For 1 dam week I actually thougth Mashima grew some balls and was going to actually do something creative and unpredictable. I thougth Fairy Tail finally had a legit villain (excluding Ultear) who actually did shit. But nope Azuma gets trolled and we get treated to the same shit thats really beginning to make me dislike this manga. That was horrid and so dam cliche it hurt to read.

Erza "lost" already and it should have stayed like that. I didn't like this chapter much, I want to see what happens with Gray and Ultear. I don't believe Jellal will stay in jail, since he keeps appearing all the time.

Wow everyone is hating on Mashima today! If you don't like his series, why are you reading it? Of course it's not 100% original. How many series are these days? I think he's doing well!

I also am surprised at the number of people hating on Gerard and praising Laxus. Gerard did a lot of bad things, but he was possessed at the time, he wouldn't have done any of those things without being possessed. Laxus, on the other hand, tried to kill all he deemed as weak in Fairy Tail, was happy when he heard his grandfather was dying because he could take over, endangered all of the civilians of Magnolia with his battle of fairy tail, and used fairy law, which could very well have killed everyone in the city. He didn't do this under anyone's influence but his own. But he's deemed good while Gerard is evil? I thought the ending of the Laxus arc was cheesy. Out of nowhere he suddenly realises that his murderous rampage was wrong. "oh wait, I actually love everybody!" He got all teary, but does this really make up for all the damage he caused?
If Laxus does appear again, which I'm sure he will, it will likely not be in this arc, but whenever they deal with Ivan. In the manga, it was revealed long ago that he wants Laxus' dragon lacrima. So he'll be back then. If he does show up in this arc, it is likely to happen against Hades.

No series is completely original. Pretty much all shonen series have the heroes being beaten to near death, then suddenly getting up and attacking their hardly-wounded enemies and killing them in one blow. This does get annoying, but it pretty much comes with the genre.

Bringing Gerard back in my mind opens up more possibilities, and potentially a happy ending for Erza.
They are thus far really the only romance in the series. And I personally think it's done well.
Yes, being helped by all of her friends is a bit cliche, but it's not like they were going to kill her off.

The only issue I had with this chapter is Erza's denial of hearing Gerard, because to me it's like she's given up.
So I'll be the only one yet to say: Keep up the good work, Mashima!

As much as I enjoyed the chapter, I feel a little disappointed as it felt extremely shorter compared to usual!

Gerard and Erza have such an amazing connection, pity about him having been a baddie, they would be both a sweet couple and a kickass team!

Chapter was ok. Glad to see Erza won her fight and it was cool how Azuma went down smiling (maybe he's a D from One Piece lol ^^)

Gerard was awsome, never hated him and hope he makes a comeback soon.
For people complaining about cliche or badly done develeopment go read Mashima's First manga Groove Adventure Rave (A.K.A. Rave Master) it is more plot and development based and shares many similar qualities as Fairy Tail. Better story imo by far.

Fairy Tail I read for some mindless brawling and flashy attacks and characters. Laxus is the flashiest of all lol, he better return soon.
Not expecting much story but if it picks up, that's just a bonus.

Not all shonen do this, all bad shonen with uncreative writers do this. Good shonen like One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho, and yea even Bleach and Naruto, don't do it on nearly the level Fairy Tail does. And in those even when the hero is horribly beaten and should have lost, they actually win by doing something clever not just using "the power of friendship". (I say usually because they do still fall victim to this, just not nearly as much as Fairy Tail where it happens in the majority of challenging fights. I wasn't expecting anything more from this chapter, but I was really hoping that for once Mashima could've exceeded my expectations. Fairy Tail will never be more then an overall decent, but ultimatley cliched, uncreative (fightwise), and dissapointing typical shonen manga.
