I totally DIG the new OP, Back On are really great.
As for the episode, I'm huge disappointed in how easily Laxus won after all that build up for Jura, I mean he's one of the ten wizards saints .. but what am I expecting, this is FT after all.

Lector and Sting reunion was touching though.

Well the new OP is spoilerific!It just ruins so much awesomeness for anime only watchers.

Fantastic episode as always. Fairy Tail beating down all in their way. Sting did the right thing, sometimes you just know that not fighting is the best choice.

Oh come on, Jura couldnt have been that easy to beat :/, same with minerva. I think they just wanted to wrap up the grand magic games and get onto the eclipse project.

3/5 over all

I guess the little guy in the new OP is the King and the guy with his snake girl that is in Fairy Tail.

Oh, that's Lector on Milliana's back lol.

Good uppercut Laxus! You can win and bring victory to Fairy Tail!

Erza's second origin :O?!

That Nakagami Armor looks awesome and OP!

Gray and Juvia are going are combining their magic to win!

Woooooohooooooooo!!!! Laxus is the winner!!!!

LOL, bye bye Lyon and Cheria XD.

Hahaha, a guide book on armors.

But... but... Sting isn't out yet...

So Sting thinks he can win alone against all of Fairy Tail team members?

They're all gathering before Sting with sad music in the background T.T

Fairy Tail is the winner of the Grand Magic Games!!!

Sting and Lector T.T

Crap, they're bringing the Eclipse Cannon to the surface.

Disappointing episode. I felt like the fights felt extremely rushed and Sting sucked! Like the new op though but not as much as the last one. 2/5

Finally Fairy Tail is getting epic again.

Maybe it's because I watched the episode before this one and this one back to back just now, but I don't see why everyone is complaining about the fights so much. Sure, the final moments of each fight were a bit rushed, but when paired with all of what was shown before hand they were great fights. The ending with Sting giving up was sort of expected, there's no way he could win and he knew it.

However, I do agree that we could have done without the constant flashing of Natsu's group fighting the same guards over and over, and the princess reiterating the same point about her future contact again and again.

Lot of epic moments in these last two episodes, oh the feels.

10/10

A good op but spoilers!! well i think ft's openings were all like that but i would like to have the surprise. Should have read the manga during the hiatus. Anyway, the fights were rushed and they won too easily i was hoping more epic parts. it disapointed me a lot.
Also i love Sting very much but i would love to see him being more badass but well... at least his reunite with Lector made me emotive

Is the new OP that spoilerish? I haven't read the manga up to this chapter so I don't feel like they spoiled anything aside, maybe future Lucy's death? But that was hinted in the next episode preview so I'm okay with that.
The thing is, manga readers think it's full of spoilers because they know what each scene from the OP refers to, but for anime-only people, it's just a tease rather than spoilers, imo.

-The characters has never looked this shitty before.

Who is this even?
-The opening was better than the first one. Doesn't say much though.

I mean jeez.. Can they get any more ridiculous with this? ''I just got a new suit for some apparent fucking reason''

The fuck was up with Sting? He was like ''Yeah, I'm gonna show Lector or whatever how awesome I am. I've been waiting for this moment the entire match!''
And then he was like ''Nah, fuck this. I don't care about my annoying little shithead of a friend''
They're pushing the Exceeds so hard that I've stopped caring about them.

And are breasts getting bigger and bigger as time goes on? Seriously.. I swear Erza had normal-sized boobs in season 1, even in the previous fucking episode!

So much constant shit.. All the time.

Pure shit. This episode gets a 3/10. The first season was really good! How could it have come to this shitfest?

You can tell they had a budget cut..

Wow ... that was an epic episode!!!

Laxus beats one of the 10 Saints.
Gray and Juvia get together and amazingly Juvia keeps her calm! :))
Erza is reborn and beats that annoying b*tch! ... finally what she deserve!
And Sting surrenders ... he is a good guy.
Damn ... everybody was so badass this episode!!!

I like the new OP and ED. Rap-Rock fits FT very well.

Next: Future ***** appears! I demand more epicness from him.

I don't read the manga and I consider Fairy Tail opening to be full of spoilers as they basically tell you exactly whats gonna happen so you basically already know the outcome. Although since I've gotten this far in the series, I honestly don't care very much anymore, the overall outcome is already obvious.

Laughed at the opening though, the part where Lucy and Yukino hold hands. The emphasis on the bewbs bouncing. I do love Back-On though, the band that did the OP. Been so long I didn't know it was them until they started rapping.

Maybe because Fairy Tail is quite predictable, so that's why I think the OP doesn't feel too spoilerish

New OP is nice. The spoilers though!

I dont know, but the fights feel really rushed this episode. One minute they're in a desperate situation, and ten seconds later, they acquire special moves and beat the other teams as if they were nothing.

I like the moment with Lector & Sting. Sting surrendering seemed reasonable to me. It seems as if he's turning over a new leaf.

I'm dropping this show. It's getting cheesier each episode. Jura, who is claimed to be strongest human wizard, lost to Laxus in a minute. Laxus is my favourite character in this show but that was so f**** ridiculous.

We saw the same cheesy ''We are a guild, we have friendship so we automatically win.'' line again like all of the previous episodes.

I was like ''WTF?'' at the Sting part. One of the most stupid moments in an anime and people believe it was dramatic, LOL.

This show used to be really good...

The best episode since pandemonium!!!

Fairy tail is just one of those shows where every episode gets better!!

But this episode took the cake. We finally got to hear the words we waited a year and half to hear. FAIRY TAIL WINS.

I cried, it was beautiful. That is the true power of friendship, that is the true power of fairy tail

Hated this is in the manga, hate it in the anime. I don't think I've ever been more frustrated with a series then in the past couple of episodes. Awful, awful fights and bullshit conclusions. Jura, who has been stated to literally be the strognest human mage in the entire world, doesn't even get a good fight, and is stomped in 10 seconds without any form of tactics or strategy thanks to the power of friendship. Which makes even less sense than usual because Laxus isn't even fighting for anything important, he's just fighting another heroic character for n overall meaningless title who also has a guild and friends he cares dearly about, but I guess the power of friendship only works if you're in Fairy Tail. Erza's fights against Kagura and Minverva were both pitiful, in the former she just gets dominated completely until she all of a sudden instantly defeats her opponent for absolutely no reason, and in the latter she reveals that "oh by the way, I haven't even been trying" and uses a new asspull powerup that lets her nullify anything, throwing any tiny concept of strategy that remained out the window. And the bit with Sting was so cringeworthy I could barely even finish it. I never drop series once I've been following them for this long, but this brought me seriously close.

Ok rant over

What a garbage fucking episode.

Laxus beats one of the Wizard Saints in one hit.

Erza gets a random ass armor and wins her fight in one hit.

The Gray and Juvia fight was stupid.

And then Sting just gives up and doesn't do shit

The best part of the episode was Sting getting his cat back. I really hope the next arc is better than this one.

Ugh why... I predicted pretty much everything, and all the "fights" were garbage.
As others have stated and i agree Completely. Jura is a Bloody Wizard saint and stated to be the Strongest "human" is beaten by Laxus as if it was nothing just by him getting up and being Buffed by "friendship". Juvia and Gray's Fig- know what i literally could just say the same thing about most of the fights and it would be correct Except for Erza's fight(which was one of the fights i was looking forwards to as well sadly) which she gets some extreme armor (again) which defies all reason as too why she would let Kagura talk shit to her and smack her around for so long. only thing i didn't predict which was rather Dreadful was Sting giving up i mean for fuck's sake if your gonna make all of fairy tail fight for their Friends why the HELL wouldn't sting do the same that literally made me wanna drop sadly i don't drop.

Anyway the NEW OP Analysis:

Eeehhh. New OP is here. I know you guys Manga reader will complain that this OP contains lot of spoiler. But I personally as an anime only audience feel perfectly fine with the spoiler. It makes me curious and want to know more about what happen in the next episode that will come. I like the new song tho. And I see Lucy backhugging Natsu. Yeay. <3

Waahhh. Laxus vs Jura battle was awesome. I love how he said Natsu trademark line. Moe te ki ta ze or moe te ki te ru or something along that line.

Yes, Minerva. You should afraid. Nothing beat Erza when she's angry. Look, she even use her second origin and her new branded armor. You better run now. Because she's THAT awesome.

For one, Juvia don't go into her crazy fangirl mode. I love seeing their teamwork. Their elements match well too. ^^

When FT team standing there with bruises, wounds and stick under that full moon, I got a serious goosebumps. Badass as hell.
Sting lost in mental battle. He and Rogue had so many potential. They just hang out with the wrong people.
So this is the result that future Lucy told. FT win with flying color without any member get defeated.

Darn. That scene with Sting and Lector. Wait, why there's water in my eyes?

Since the game ended, it's time to face the real deal. Dragon is coming.

Those fights were all so disappointing, I don't read the manga so I don't know if they were as lackluster and abrupt in the manga as the anime. But so far the battles in this season have been a huge step down compared to season 1's Magic Games episodes.

Laxus beating Jura was too short to be impressive.

It may be just me, but I think Lucy has surpassed Gray in popularity and airtime. For something who fought toe-to-toe with Natsu, it seems his fight scenes are more comedic than serious now and Juvia's presence doesn't help much. The not-so-surprising result - TEAM WORK WINS.

I've always known that this series is like this, that the main characters tend to throw out one-shot victories from out of nowhere in poorly developed fights, that if you're to hanged up on logic, consistency, or any sort of sense making, you're probably not gonna enjoy this series. And I've accepted these faults, especially since the main reason why I'm watching this show is cuz I like the stupid characters, their silly interactions, and crazy antics. For me, this show really is about the "friendship" that they kick spouting all the time; its not the big things but the little things that really developed their bonds.

However, this episode took it too far. I don't even care about the "power of friendship" that no one else but Fairy Tail seems to have. Like I said, I've accepted all this but at the very least, don't be this freaking lazy about it. Both Erza's and Laxus's battle were bad but Laxus's was just so OMFG bad. Jura was suppose to be some super big shot who took out one of Sabertooth's top 5 with one punch but all we got was one punch from Laxus and it was over. WTF? Even though Jura admitted that he didn't have the will and tenacity that Fairy Tail had for this tournament, that was still so bad.

Sting's reasons for giving up was so arbitrary and had little to do with the current situation. If he had said the he was sick of Sabertooth and deep down he know that Lector was dead and not coming back then I would accepted his submission. If he had given up because he became genre savvy and knew that he was never gonna win no matter what (though that would had been very uncharacteristic of him), it still would had been better than this. Seems like the author was just too lazy to bother to come up with another battle. Also, that cat should had died or at least only come back after Sting had given it his all; it would had been so much more satisfying.

I still enjoy the series cuz its the characters and their interactions and relations that I'm attached to, but there's only so much that even I can take.

I can't speak for everyone but why give a damn about that. There are many problems I have with this episode but what Hisui was wearing or the character design is the least of my worries. It has more to do with the original source material itself, seems like Mashima is just getting lazy.

Lucy surpass EVERYONE in airtime, I would argue she even beats Natsu. According to a poll conducted in July 2014, Lucy IS the most popular character in Japan, followed by Natsu. And no, I don't care what people think in the West, it is of less importance in regards to this series.

I dunno why you are so surprised, she is the main heroine. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that the non-combat factors are just as important, if not more, than the battle factors in this series, this is why Lucy is 100 times better than Erza in my book. Lucy may not be all that strong in battle but she is so much more amusing to watch. Helps that much of the story revolves around her too I guess.
