| RIP Gajeel. With Acnologia so close its better to spend eternity in hell rather than die for real. Gajeel exiting the scene would be great. He could return later in the decisive battle against Acnologia allot stronger. Levy on cover page looked weird. fairytail/5 |
Isterio said: I guess you are kinda right. I was referring to full-on war with a lot of filler battles and random power ups, more or less.zal said: Elaborate please. However unpredictability also leads to asspulls which is worse, not that aspulls matter anymore in Bleach or Fairy Tail. No I´m honestly not joking. Fairy Tail on the other hand, has a narrative that everyone who thinks a little,sees coming. Define asspuill please because that´s such a buzzword. If you mean Deus ex machina, well thas true, though Mashima has a chance to excuse his bullshit with a reveal I´m assuming will explain everything.(Not that it´s well written). |

Isterio said: I am not here to start a discussion about bleach but you are not considering the cast that in bleach is exaggerated and a a handful of chapters and infodumps to explain every absurd power of evach enemy just to have them disappear in the following chapter. One piece was way briefer then Bleach with this and the battles made more "sense", kinda.zal said: guess you are kinda right. I was referring to full-on war with a lot of filler battles and random power ups, more or less. Honestly after finishing Naruto and consistenly reading One Piece I can safely say that this is an inherent problem with war arcs.Do you remember who fought at Marineford? Remember how every General (fodder guy) was named. War arcs in general media sacrifice time that could be spent on characterization for the sake of showcasing it´s magnitude and scale giving collective screentime over character development or story progression. ou cannot really win writing them, because focusing too much on exposition gives it an unrealistic feel of lack of urgency and without it the audience doesn´t know why things are at stake because they aren´t experiencing it. The pacing issues are a common problem of Fairy Tail and not tied to the war arc. The Bleach war arc suffers from a different pacing problem that is the same that the Dressrosa in One Piece had, lack of focus. B plots are getting started before the A plot is finished and this at a snails pace. Fairy Tail doesn´t have this issue, it´s the opposite. It´s like a balloon filled with hot gas but instead of bursting when reaching its climax it lets the air flow out casually leaving it´s audience with blue balls. Still, the amount of random power ups of Fairy Tail is comparable to Bleach in this last arc. They have always been random power ups but this arc it's one after another. Cool but if they are so frivolous then I simply don't care about them. When Gajil used the shadow form was way better and exciting because of the dialogue and attitude he had, now nothing.

| is that the Dragon Force of Gajeel? |
| What does August mean with "he's here with me"? I wonder if somehow he saved Serena or his powers, something like that |

RileyReid said: What does August mean with "he's here with me"? I wonder if somehow he saved Serena or his powers, something like that I wouldn't read too much into that. AT most he absorbed Serena's magic into his own. |
| Dat cover * ^*) Gajeel x Levy going strong /o/ Guess that's another spriggan down. Maybe spriggan no.12 will actually do something. |
 |
| So...Serena was absorbed somehow by August...or then he took the Lacrimas Serena has insinde of him. Yeah...I just hope Lucy and Natsu are bad Sensor...if they are now in August level I will get pissed off... NOW WE ARE Talking about....Bradman is Awesome!!! USING ALL TARTAROS CURSE POWERS!!! and Gajeel and Levy are taking a beating!!! I actually hope they lose. Would be awesome!! and really Show us Power of the Sprrigan...but Bradman So Far ahs been impressive...and awesome! ....and GAJEEL ADMITTED THAT HE LIKES/LOVES LEVY!!! IT'S OFFICIAL! ...So....Gajeel make ultimate Sacrifice for Power to defeat Bradman....Gajeel will not rise form this even if he defeats Bradman....Bradman got hype somewhat back and Gajeel only won by this Sacrificial move. |

| Looks like the negotiations with August are not going to end well. Time to get ready for a fight. Bradman has the curse powers of all the other Tartaros demons. Gajeel admitting his feeling for Levi. Gajeel looks cool going Dragon Force. Bradman trying to take down Gajeel with him. |

| Holy hell. A confession from Gajeel. Did not see that coming, tbh. With this chapter, you can honestly tell his character development has been pretty good since his debut. I'm not much of one for shipping, but damn, this has me hype. Come on, next Monday! |

Rex_Connor said: It was stated like 2 arcs ago that Magic-barrier particles have metal in them. Dragonslayer magic enhances to dragon force when it comes into contact with a powerful version of their magic element. For example, the air from face for Wendy and Sacred Fire for Natsu. Gajeel's was the third seal particles. That's not an asspull in anyway, that's just story telling.So why didn't Bradman use Macro or Kyouka's sensation curse on Gajeel? That's some plot induced stupidity out there. DF Gajeel is a big time asspull powerup considering he was able to consumbe anti-magic particles. BS. This is as bad as Natsu's fights are in general. Gajevy still is weird ass pairing. Loli and a raditz wannabe getting it on. |

| Really annoying when people complain about asspulls and shit that's just been part of the way this universe works. Magic barrier particles were introduced a long time ago and literally aren't that dangerous unless you inhale them like crazy. Everyone reading this complain how Levy and Gajeel live through it yet it actually has been explained that Gajeel can breath magic barrier particles and Levy is gravely wounded, which is how they work. Hiro-sensei never said Magic Barrier particles instant KO you. I don't know why people are bitching like they should. That's was never how it works, if he changed it so that was how it worked that would be an asspull, the shit you nimrods are complaining about. |

He has plot armour aknologia is on the hunt for dragon slayers And is nearby, who will be the weakest dragon when h gets their Plus if levy is pregnant like I think she is then, its defiantly gonna happen, look up someone to remember him by >2016 and people still think a FT guildmate will die. |

Rex_Connor said: It was literally explained like a hundred chapters ago that he was the only one who could. Seems like people are just tryna hate. Literally there's no reason to not accept this when he's been the sole person to be able to breath the particles and it would make him the only character that could fight. If there was no character to counter Bradman that would make him needlessly OP and it would be dumb as hell. It would be more BS to accept the fact that Bradman has a power no one can fight and everyone will just die to him.Ahoy_NATO said: It was stated like 2 arcs ago that Magic-barrier particles have metal in them.

Isterio said: In the Tartaros Arc, it is explained that magic Barrier particles contain lots of iron and steel, which is why Gajeel has always been able to breath it, because the iron and steel that would normally be poisonous to others. The thing Levy didn't want Gajeel to do is fight Bradmad in his Third Seal mode because in the Tartaros arc, Gajeel almost died to the Tartaros curse powers which is what Bradman was using which worried Levy. I do believe you may be correct that it isn't good for him, though it hasn't been stated how long it will take til it has an effect, it seems like a long time though.Ahoy_NATO said: It was literally explained like a hundred chapters ago that he was the only one who could. Seems like people are just tryna hate Can you show me the instance where he is explained to be capable of inhaling the particles? From what I read this chapter I understood that he "demonized" himself to be capable of consuming the poison. Which is why Levy yells at him to not do it because "there´s no returning from this".Even if it´s not clarified it´s implied that there are repercussions for him taking in the poison. |

| Hmm i liked the part with august, and the part with gajeel and levi. The only thing i kinda disliked is that this springan felt like one of the weakest compared to the other springan. Yes Gajeel goes Dragonforce but it seems like he only recieved a single hit. The springan at first looked really cool since he had all those tartaros powers, only to see him get 1 shot (i'm aware that it is dragonforce, but i expected at least a few hits and tecniques before he fell. Nice that he tries to take gajeel with him, maybe he at least does something. It felt a bit rushed, the springan defeat that is. |
Isterio said: Maybe you're right, either way, I still don't think the powerup was an asspull. If Mashima wrote MB particles have metal in them then it was specifically designed as a mechanic for Gajeel to utilize. It may seem BS to some people but I personally think that was Magic Barrier particles intended purpose. We'd never heard of them until Tartaros where everyone in the guild was effected besides Gajeel. Now he is using them to gain Dragon Force, something he didn't do last time since he didn't need it to defeat his enemy (Iron Shadow Slayer Mode).Inbetween denying his decision and trying to help him, she already had come to terms with her emotional irrationality and was pitying herself for being a weak fighter. This immediately changes once he starts breathing the particles. Her selfpity changes immediately into worry and just the momment when he´s done absorbing them, she literary utters the line "There´s no returning from this". I just don´t see how this line could be connected in any sense towards her worry about him fighting an enemie that utilizes curses, when she herself fought a guy using curses and he also fought him before. It makes no directive sense to put it in there. Also the proper sentence to express this worry would be get outa here, or don´t fight him, not "there´s no going back". |

frostmourn said: sabi-chan said: This!! i almost cried cause this line was so awesome! "the woman I fell for" - i read this part like 100 times before reading ahead :D now he better doesn''t die! Chill out, gajeel has plot armour. He's gonna survive by some BS You seriously cry to this?? Lool. Sorry just had to say it xD i am chilled and i don't think Gajeel will die either, but i am so excited anyway what will happen! will he be rescued by someone? or does he get out of this by himself? and yes, i cry if things happen, that make me very happy or sad. if you don't, then it's ok but i don't care if you're loughing about how i express my feelings :D |

Rex_Connor said: I believe it's mostly in Chapter 396-397. The Tenchi Kaimei Curse is used which is "The Black Water Curse" that drowns all of Fairy Tail. It's water containing Magic Barrier particles. Gajeel seals his mouth to not breath but then realizes the water has carbon in it (and Torafuzar acknowledges it does) and begins breathing it to power up. Bradman uses the same move in this chapter which is when Gajeel breathes it to enter Dragon Force.I'd like to have a panel of this so called explanation. |

| Really liked this chap, though that reaper's magic was a bit... I don't know. But Gajeel confessed... in his mind. Levy didn't hear him but it's still good. The next chapter's title seems interesting. But I want to see Oracion Seis and Eileen. Hope we get to see them next chap. |

trump54 said: Gajeel and Juvia do not have plot armor, over time they have not been improving like the rest of team natsu has, they will not be around for the final battle. That has been my theory for a long time. So ever since that scan of gajeel and levy with the some star blanket, it clicked for me he was not gonna make it. And its about time, I guess he is our neji hyuga  It´s just plain cute that people actually still believe Hiro Mashima will kill guild members. |
Aiyen said: I also love how I've never seen the words "Death Flag" on any Fairy Tail forum until the term became part of an earlier chapter. Now, seriously, "Death flag" has been seen on forums for every other chapter in Fairy Tail despite "nobody dies", right. This fandom is so pathetic and pretentious lol To be fair, Makarov had a pretty big one during Tenrou Island. I think that was the original plan. Need to check. |
| My man Bradman foddered like that made this chapter cringe worthy. |
| Gajeel and Levy are both mutual so why not be lovers? I dont think Gajeel will die because this is Fairy Tail after all. 3.4/5 |

| I'm getting tired of rolling my eyes. mehh. |
