Oh now we get some Erza and Jellal screen time..

The typical usual episode I guess with Natsu vs Shadow Rogue again. Not too much happened. I hope some of these fights don't get dragged too much. I like how Elfman fought though in the episode.

Oh Juvia. You misunderstood that. AGAIN. Oh poor Gray.

Whoo what an episode. Well first we start off with Ultear who confeses that she was the master mind behind Jellal's evilness to Millanna and unknowingly Kagura. Personally to the Mermaid Heel girls I know you are pissed off about Simon's death, but you know dragaons are destroying the world, let's worry about that first, and Ultear pretty much says the samething. Small chance here from the manga, when Ultear confeses, it is Erza that tries to stop her, but in the manga it was Jellal. It makes more sense for Jellal not Ultear to steal the blame from him and they are comrades, Erza being the one to try to stop her, kind or makes me less sense.

Also in the manga when we see Ultear top herself from killing Rogue, that was clearly a flashback inbetween the end of the last episode and the first scene here. Here it is more clear, one can think when Ultear was having that talk with Millianna, that she was on her way to kill present Rogue, and than had a change of heart.

I am trying not to spoil what will happen in the next episode, but the anime could have added more people that died or dying in this episode, I mean why not consider what will happen, only makes things more intense. I thought for sure they were adding Lucy to that list, when Flare of all people saves her. That is added on in the anime, that did not happen in the manga, but actually necessary, once again try not spoil things, consider what Lucy's reaction is the next time she sees Flare, you have to establish the beginning of Flare's redemption, that moment in the manga was only adapted in the OVAs, so anime only viewers might be confused over what happens next time Lucy sees Flare. So it is a add on, but a necessary add on.

Could have used less of characters like Jet, Droy, and Macaro, am I suppose to feel those charactrers can do any sugnificant, give me more Cobra. Speaking of which, I loved the way he told Ichiya to stay out of his way.

When Juvia thought Gray was purposing, I thought it was the wrong time and place for comedy. Nice to Melody, but I wish she gets to do more. And it is not going to get any better with that, that is a shame. Because of Juvia' stupidity, Gray is dead. It was a total shock to me, RIP Gray. We all know Gray will be fine somehow. That was my thought when I read this in the manga, I did not think for a moment Gray was going to die. So he will be fine, but how, and what will Ultear do next?

This episode was great, I give it a 10 / 10, what the hell.

Wow that ending made for one hell of an episode! Holy crap! Juvia you poor thing you misunderstood him again. Now Fairy Tail is down one great wizard. RIP Gray....I think I have an idea what is going to happen next episode. It kinda had some foreshadowing with the preview. Funny thing is that I skimmed through one of the volumes of the manga where I thought I left off and sure enough I turn right to the page where this same thing just happened in the show talk about predicting the future there. What a fantastic episode!! 5/5 on that one definitely looking forward to the next week!

Great episode indeed, I wonder what will happen next episode. I hope the fights move on to their next stage quickly through, we have had Natsu riding a dragon fighting Rogue for to long now.

Felt like the parts with the side characters and Happy were a little bit forced into it to fill the episode, but I liked it anyhow.
Most intense part of Fairy Tail ever: Grey RIP.

I haven't read the manga so what happened to Grey definitely surprised me. It seems obvious that they intend for him to die, but I don't know. I might have teared up a little bit, mostly out of surprise that one of the primary characters is going to die.

Decent episode I mean no dragon slayer has yet to defeat at least one dragon yet.

I'm really curios as to what Lucy needs to tell them, if she was going to say something that might have prevent Gray from getting shot MULTIPLE TIMES (╥﹏╥) then I'm going to freaking flip.

Now that's what I call a great episode review. next time be the first please. lol. Anyways

Totes. so in order for me to understand what Flare's actions mean, i should watch an ova? or read the manga? what?

Anywho...yeah i'm pretty sure Gray is not going to die. This isn't that type of anime. And what is the important stuff Lucy has to tell everyone. I still can't believe Natsu would just leave her alone after all that's been happening.

But great episode overall.

PS. i hope Ultear comes to her senses and fights to help. Instead of ending her own life and solving nothing.

The OVA titled "The Exciting Ryuzetsu Land" adapts chapter 298 and is set on the night of the third day. It includes a small segment wherein Flare shows up briefly to apologize to Lucy. Anyone that did not read the manga, or watch the ova will likely be confused as to why Flare is suddenly helping Lucy when Flare was last seen being hauled away by the guards after Raven Tail cheated.

An intense episode with an apparent MC death and Ultear's confession and subsequent meltdown. It looks like the capital is pretty much destroyed with no victories over the dragons (other than Natsu's) and the non-dragon slayers dealing with a seemingly endless supply of laser equipped dragonettes. I suspect that we'll see Juvia go batshit crazy on the ones that killed Gray next time.

I was so sure that they would end this ep w/ a cliffhanger. Just like in the manga. Now good episode. Fighting the dragons and losing. Milliana and Kagura learned that it wasn't Jellal but Ultear who hurt them. A depressed Ultear cause she feels she is a bad perso. No progress on Natsu vs F. Rogue. I think I pointed out all the episode. Waiting for next week now.

Gray. His dying scene was good, but the transition of it being starting with Juvia acting like that... kind of didn't like it, maybe if Juvia was listening intently instead of acting the usual "Gray-sama phase" of hers.

Looks like Ultear will use her magic soon enough... judging from the opening scenes, I guess people can tell what will happen next.

So that was the sacrifice... from Juvia misunderstanding to Gray getting shot.

The fate of everyone! Shadow Gear and Romeo's group beinv cornered.
Looking forward to Lucy's message.

Ok, this is what i thought when i saw Gray hitted.
1st wave: Ok, i guess you could survive from that.
2nd wave:Well,that does the job.
3rd:Ok, now he has to be dead.
I just fear,that they use some asspull to save him. Quoteing Linkara(might not be word to word): You can get thousand times better story out of person's death than when he would be alive.

they started killing off main characters, huh?? guessing this anime is ending ... such a boring cliche, and they picked the most useless one of them all, and it was obvious that it was gonna be Gray, damn opening gave it away -_- ... all in all it was about time that main characters started dying instead of coming back to life (Lisana) -_- and i seriously hope they don't drag the hell out of these fights like they did with those executioners

that was just to clarify to the audience that he is dead and gonna stay dead, because we all know FT wizards have a funny way of coming back to life (time after time after time) from fatal injuries :P so this was just basically an emphasis on Gray "officially" leaving the game.

Ah, so Ultear appeared to tell Milliana that she was the one that made Jellal do the things that he did and that her grudge is misplaced, but Kagura also heard this.

So Sting came to Rogue so they could combine their powers as the Twin Dragons heh.

Natsu vs Future Rogue continues.

Poor Ultear T.T

Ah, Flare came to Lucy's rescue :3

Funny how dragon slaying magic seems to be barely doing anything against the dragons...

Droy and Jet T.T

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Gray just got shot many times in the upper body and in the head... he's dead (unless nakama power can save you from a laser to your brain or something).

Great episode and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Well what I was trying to say anime only veiwers might be confused over

[spoiler]When in the next arc, Flare sneaks into Fairy Tail, and Cana naturally thinks she is an enemy and is ready to attack her, when Lucy steps in and stands up for Flare. Anime only viewers might be confused over why Lucy is standing up for Flare and saying she is a good person, when the last time she saw Flare she was an enemy, an enemy she felt sympathy for but still an enemy. Without the apology, Lucy's attitude towards Flare should be totally different.

So anime only that don't read the manga or watch the OVAs would be confused over why Lucy is standing up for this crazy chick. So because they never got to see the aplogy in the anime, they added this to make up for it.[spoiler]

Ahhh finally this got animated. Well, don't get the wrong idea, I'm not that happy about Gray dying, all I wanted is to see everyones hearts get taken out of the chest, chopped, sliced, stabbed 3 times, fried, cooked, played football with, boiled for few hours and put back to the chest like nothing happened (like mine was) so yeah, I sound like a psychopath now

Pretty okay episode, Gray dying would be a major turn in the whole story. The whole situation with Ultear and Jellal is so confusing for everyone.

It is still kind of sad to see Dragon Slayer Magic do almost next to nothing to dragons.

Said it in the previous episode post but the reason why Natsu is having more success than the rest is cause he's partnered up with a dragon. Given that Dragon Slayers were made to help the Dragons on the side of coexistence makes sense that they'd work in pairs. Of course until mister Acnologia decided fuck that and killed everyone.

Slideshow animation still hurts
repeated clips of dragon minions shooting inconsistent power beams still hurts.
Comedy to forced MC death (though I doubt Gray dies... 100%) transition, hurts.
Censorship of blood hurts.

The Happy part of the episode felt un-needed and felt very fillery.
Did the Natsu fight change at all? They are still just getting hits in.
Laxus and Gajeels fight didn't change lol

Do you know what I find more interesting atm, Ultear and her guild. I honestly would prefer to watch a spinoff of those three during the time that Fairy Tail was stuck on an island. I think they had some fun adventures. It would be better than anything this arc offered.

I was expecting to cry when I heard about Gray's death, but now that I've seen it I don't really feel anything and it's weird because he's one of the like able characters in the show for me at least. I'm concerned about how Juvia is going to accept Gray's death and I can't help, but wonder if she's going to go beserk or not.

Certainly, there is no guarantee, but the possibility exists.

I don't think I've seen miraculous revivals outside the shounen demography.
