Nice to see some flashbacks. Forced to leave the village they were in, found themselves in Fairy Tail..

It was very neat to see some backstory for Elfman, Lisanna, and Mira. And I'm glad Mira didn't win this one on her own.

Great stuff Elfman! The family connection is powerful! :D

Elfman with takeover. I so called it, but it's exactly what I was hoping would happen. The power that once divided the family, now brings it together.

Nice chapter! They could defeat Seira together as a family. However, I thought at first Mira would use a new badass-sexy-demon-power. :(

The only one I noticed was Lisanna's guild stamp already being on her leg when, at least in the anime, it was on her shoulder pre-Edolas. Not sure if that's the case in the manga too or not, and I mean I guess it's possible she moved it to her shoulder for whatever reason. Guess when the anime adapts this they could fix it if need be. I can't remember if it was ever shown that Mira was a guild member before Erza and the others in any previous flashbacks, that seems like the only other thing that might be contradictory.

Anywho this was my favorite chapter since the counterattack began, Strauss family my favorite characters and it was all about them so...yeah. :D

Wow. I didn't know there was going to be a part 2 to the Strauss sibling backstory. I always thought it was just going to be that in the past they were a happy sibling family until lissana died and then their lives were changed stuff and that was it. I was actually surprised.


Great chapter!

How did Elfman oneshot Sayla, someone who was able to easily dispatch Mira an S class wizard in her strongest from?

Every time I think a Tartaros member is not going to be fodder, he/she is going to be a legitimate threat (Sayla owning a S class Wizard and Franmalth using Hades soul plus Natsu magic) they get defeated in some bullshit way (oneshot by a weaker person than she just beat or owned by a rock).
Now I wonder how Gray is going to fodderize Silver.... 1/5

Are you nuts? elfodder defeated sayla because the chick's strength has been haxed by mira, thus she's exhausted that's why she's got boomed, plus elfodder surprise attack sayla................

This is the true strength of the Strauss trio:They are always together...

Impressive.I was itching to see Elfman kick that bastard's ass....so I got what I expected.I did expect Mira would get a new form or something...but that would be quite an wild "asspull",wouldn't it?

Alegria...it reminds me of gloria,the chapter when Erza defeated Minerva in the tournament...


well,with this Tartarus only has 7 demons left,not counting Marde Guille,Minerva and E.N.D...
Honestly,I hope someone trolls jackal and finish him off in a chapter or on a two or three pags.Jackal already got 3 chapters dedicated to his fight...don't want them to feel wasted.
Since tempesta only got a chapter,I won't mind it...

I like the flashback, and I also liked how she got defeated in the end. A bit cheesy, but it was awesome regardless.
I got a feeling however that she isn't completely out of it yet after that hit...

Even it Tartaros is being fodderized or whatever, you have to at least give Mashima credit for stepping up his game. He is actually giving explanation to their defeats other than "Herp derp you hurt my nakama now I'm gonna go god mode and stomp your ass".

I've actually enjoyed pretty much every chapter of this arc to be honest.

Woohoo!!!! FAMILY LOVE WINS ALL!!! Elfman got his redemption and Revenge!!!! That is 3th Gate down...Only 6 Demon Gates left!!!

Really liked the flashback of the Strauss family and especially when it was Mira's Past....Humans can be so arrogant, ungrateful and stupid. Mira saves a village by taking over the Demon, and this is the thanks? that Village can just burn to the ground.

Love the flashback of Mira, Elfman and Lisanna. Mira was able to take control Seira's Marco and use Elfman against her which was awesome.

The women of Fairy Tail are not only beautiful but they are smart. First we see Lucy, now Mira use her brain to find a clevor way to victory. Starc constract to Natsu who just charges without a plan.

The flashback that was unexpected, but still don't see their parents. Did there parents abanden them because of Mira's powers, if that is the case why abanden Elfman and Lisanna also, die protecting them from people that wanted to kill Mira because of her powers, we may never know. We see Mira first meeting with Erza, though we don't see what began their rivalory, my guess is something to do with cake. Mira was about to leave her siblings, but they stopped her, a touching moment.

In present time, Mira is in trouble, she has to turn around or else she and Lisanna, and heck even Lammy are dead if Sayla is not stopped. She absorbs a bit of Sayla's power, which was more desperation than smarts, but than she uses macro not on Sayla but on Elfman, and now it is 3 against 2, Fairy Tail has the number advantage. But poor Elfman he is going to a human yo yo or a human rope in a tug of room isn't he, as I can see Mira and Sayla take turns controling him.

Mira is assured victory now unless someone else shows up. Though if she beats Sayla, what is her end game for Sayla, well she actully kill her, that goes against Mira's character, but after everything Sayla has done you couldn't blame her if she did, but still that is not the Mira I know, technically she did kill Ezel and Farnmouth, but that is just circumstances, that is not the same as having someone helpness unable to fight and to deal them a fatal blow. Perhaps that is what Marde Guille's role to kill off the losers. If Sayla does die, I hope we get backstory before that. Sayla is an interesting enough character I want to know more about her.

Fantastic chapter as usual. Wasn't expecting the flashback but it was a really nice touch to see how they joined. The way Sayla was defeated was clever, hadn't thought about Mira taking over just her curse and using it to bring Elfman in to take her out, he has the strength to do so from that hight with all his power against a weakened foe. Family wins.

Well,sayla has quite a weak point to compensate her destructive power...if she doesn't give herself an order through Macro,she can't control herself.
Also,don't underestimate full beast soul Elfman's power...the attack was clean...and on her back.

twas nice, the fight scene a bit so-so, but w/e
This world is mine. I think this world may even just be a long, long dream I'm watching. You guys may just be illusions, and it can't be proven whether or not you really exist either. In other words, this world was created with me at the center. So what will happen if I die? I don't know. My imagination isn't very creative; I just can't imagine myself dying. In other words, there is no way this world can completely disappear. But if I die, then everyone will disappear. I am the only one in this world who won't disappear. The rest are just people I see as if in a dream.

Great seeing the back story about Mira. Was sad to see the harsh upbringing the trio had. As for Sayla getting one shot...I don't think she's exactly down and out for the count just yet but we'll see I guess. I got a feeling Mira will get a new form a little later on possibly but guess only time will tell.

All right Elfman, time for redemption and revenge! I hope Mira's not taken out of the fight just yet, because she did do most of the work for Elfman. I still want to see her with a few hidden moves up her sleeve. So I hope the fight's still a chapter or two from being over.

Next chapter... Fus... ion.... HA! Behold! Elf-Mira Demon thingy

People calling BS on Elfman taking out Sayla are seriously underestimating him. Not the greatest fighter no but on pure brute strength with the element of surprise not many can match him.

Good back story, but I believe there's inconsistency in the timeline.

Also, wouldn't it be nice to see Sayla (if conscious) and Mira fight over the control for Elfman using the "order" macro?

The power of family is indeed strong!
So if Natsu used the power of family, wouldn't he be way superior than other situations when he used nakama power?

I was waiting for a *BADASSLaxusMakesSexyLightningEntranceToSaveMirajane* moment. but Elfman did the job ... he is truly a man! ;P
I love seeing young Natsu,Gray and the others!

Nice chapter. Mira had it hard tho, I always thought gentle her that smiled a lot was just a facade due to lisanna's death but turns out the scary her that always fought with erza was a facade as well and I don't think seira's been defeated yet. And who is this marde guille guy I thought kyouka was the leader after END
