Okay so this chapter had two parts, lets start with the Tempesta part. Looks like Gajeel out of power, he is screwed, Tempesta is going to finish him off, when Gray comes to the rescue with his new power up. I thought Natsu for sure was going to fight Tempesta, but to my surprise and delight it is someone else, granted Gray already had his battle, so he is hogging opponents up, but I will excuse that for one reason I will get to that later. Interesting to see Gray and Gajeel interact, we don't get to see that too often, Natsu two rivals, I was hoping they would talk smack about Natsu behind his back.
Gray and Tempesta have a short fight, Gray beats him quickly. Disappointed the fight was this short, but I will excuse it for one reason, they had to show case Gray's power up, he has demon slayer powers now so let's see it in action, which means if Gray encounters E.N.D. it will not end well for him no pun indented, they are showcasing it now, so when Gray tries the same crap on E.N.D., he is going to no sell it, they will have to think of another way to beat E.N.D, heck if Gray encounters Made Geer, he will probably no sell it. So Gray used that trump card which only works once, that is the rules of Shonnen.
Onto the second part, Erza's party is looking for the Chairman, and listening to Farnmouth, yay that is a good idea, no way he is leading you to a trap. Turns out the Chairman is activating Face, and when Farnmouth said it is not Keith's work, it could mean one thing, I was thinking it could be one thing, than when everyone else was moving I knew who it was, yes can it be? Yup it is Sayla she is still alive, I was so happy for a moment though by the end of the chapter not so much. Though throughout the chapter even though things were going good for team, Sayla looked sad which I didn't know what to make of it, but we found out why by the end of the chapter. And Kyuoka is there too, telling Sayla not to kill Erza, that is her pray.
And than Mira shows up, and demon soul Mira and Kyouka look so much alike, when I saw Sayla get closelined, I thought Kyokoa had turned on Sayla, thinking what the hell is going on, perhaps someone using Macro, but no it is Mira, using that last strengh to take Sayla down, and drained the last of her strengh as Sayla dying. At least her death will be better than the presummed off screen she got.
Face will activate in seconds, I am not so much worried about Erza, she knows what is going on, but Sting and Rogue they are screwed, there magic is about to go kaput in the middle of a fight with Made Guille. Erza you better fix this.
Last one on one fight Erza vs Kyouka, which mean Made Guille and E.N.D. and whoever else they come accross will have to defeated in a group effort, just like her first battle with Minerva, Erza is at a handicap, but this time thanks to Made Guille, Kyouka is not 100 percent either, so when Erza wins, Kyouka has more of a excuse. This fight looks like it is going to be awesome. And judging by the way it started, just with Erza battle with Knighwalker, no mater what happens at the end of the fight they will have each other's respect.
Prediction, Erza will win, but Kyouka will survive, I don't know if Erza will indentionally let her live if so I could see a defeated Kyouka begging Erza to finish her off, if Minerva is still there I would love it if she said "good luck with that" that would be so funny or just assume she is dead, I think for a long time Kyouka destiny is to be betrayed and killed by someone like Made Guille or even E.N.D. to showcase how evil they are. That or she will use her last breath to play a big role in turning things around for the good guys and give FT a chance like Ultear did when she restored the Tenrou tree.
It was a good chapter, I liked part 2 better than part 1, didn't like Tempesta just getting trolled, but I understand why, it was a necessary evil to set things up down the line and make E.N.D. look more god like. |
