It would require quite a lot of random episodes before they return to the main story so doing a filler arc would make more sense. This arc is slightly related to the manga though! :)

I really dont understand why everybody doesnt like the idea of Fairy Tail losing.

I personally have been getting tired of all the Deus Ex Machina ways for Fairy Tail to win.

But really, it only makes sense for Fairy Tail to lose against these people, these filler villains have the most over powered magic we have seen so far. Pretty much all of them except for Coco and girl form Hughes have a way to negate the other persons magic, so its obvious they would be hard.

I think people are starting to think that if villains dont have some mega offensive attack than they are weak villains, which I think is stupid.

People dont like the Gildartz/Byro fight because neither of them could land any damage on the other because of the negation of magic, and it seems like Byro doesnt have much of an offense.

Though of course the fights we have seen so far have had inconsistencies that we have also seen during main filler arc fights. I dont understand how Natsu could figure out to blow up the goo of Sugar Boy, but then Grays ice doesnt get sucked up...though it could be because it was weakened by fire or too small.

But then again remember the Natsu vs Zancrow fight? I mean that was somebullshit Natsu pulled out of his ass, so I dont want to hear about inconsistencies in fights during a viller arc when you can point them out in main arcs.

These are villaiins arent weak, get over it

Maybe it's not that people think they are weak, it's that their powers make them completely boring in a fight. "You can't hit me because I make magic not work," is dull. And so is, "I'll deflect your magic in flight with my finger wand, and also make you hit your friend!" and "I'll run really fast so you can't hit me!" Sugar Boy had the only mildly interesting power. I figured the solution would be either overloading it, or hitting it with too many types of elements too close together. I was sort of right on both counts, hehe.

Also, I still take issue that Coco's magic is considered dangerous enough to be banned, but all the other crazy crap that happens is a-ok. >>;

Again, it's not that they're weak villains. It's that their powers are so broken as to be completely uninteresting. And also that the Fairy Tail members are either fighting like they lost their brains (Gildarts and Lucy) or are making stuff up that miraculously works (Natsu). I know that's happened in the main series, the Zancrow example is a good one. But that's in the past, saying it happened before doesn't excuse it when it happens now.

This filler started out good, imo, when it was introducing the Michelle character, and hinting at evil things that had been done, but then as soon as the fighting started, it seemed to start to fall apart. >_< I don't know why they couldn't have shown more of Levy, Lucy, and various others who aren't always in the spot light doing their thing to figure out what the clock hand was, and make it more of a narrative/character driven story than just another battle royale. Of course Natsu and Co. would have to get their licks in, but not till later. Maybe they still will, who knows. *shrug* But I'm not going to excited about it anymore. *yawn*

It's not that the villains are overpowered as much as it is that they have the wrong Fairy Tail characters fighting them. If Hughes can command humans, then send the celestial spirits and the Exceed against her (Lucy did do that for a while, but was hampered by the presence of Michelle). Now that Erza is on the scene, have her fight Byro with a non-magic weapon (negating his negation ability). It looks like Gray is the answer to the goo by freezing it at long range. Coco would be extremely vulnerable to Fried's rune traps (he's not there but it shows that there should be ways to use guild members' powers to win).

On another note, I don't think Athletic Magic is banned to protect other people, but because it is so hazardous to the practicioner. Lose your balance or blow a magic shoe while you're running on a cliff and you could have a nasty athletic injury.

I'm finding this to be an entertaining arc. We've got a religious war brewing between the Zentopia religion/cult and the established Church (always a give away when they capitalize that word that you have a more or less official state religion). Michelle is probably no relation to Lucy at all (so the Lobster clan was virtually wiped out in a mysterious accident years ago, eh? How convenient for impersonation.) The activity between some of the prospective couples is driving the shippers into a frenzy. And above all we've got some hints that Lucy may be about to start investigating the coincidence that her mother "died" on the very same day that all the dragons disappeared.
Please don't feed the trolls!

What the HELL is wrong with this stupid filler arc. Have all of fairy tail gone full retard? They beat the shit out of grimmoire heart and now they’re getting slapped around like pussies by these pushovers.
Natsu: oh, my hand is stuck, maybe i should punch the guy with my other fist? i think just making a rage face at the guy will make him faint!
Gildarts: i can’t hit this guy with my magic. maybe i should try tackling him. forget that i can pulverize the entire area around me including this guy. lemme tell him my biggest weakness (cana) so maybe he can use it against me later.
Lucy: oh noes, scorpio can’t aim right! let’s NOT call out some more useful spirits like leo or capricorn.
Wendy: i blow. period. oh my, she’s so fast. hey, did i have a spell that can increase my movement speed called venier? hmm… what can i do?

i know these are just filler episodes and it was obvious the fighting etc. would suck in these, but seriously....
when gildarts fight you would expect they'd put a little more effort in those fighting scenes -_-

Is it just me or this show is really going downhill?
Fairy Tail used to be epic but after the 7 years jump it's getting bad and I'm not enjoying it at all.
Natsu is really useless at the moment but he thinks he is the best, it's really annoying, he doesn't do shit.
I really hope it gets better again because this show had so much potential.

Lucy needs to realize that her best spirit is probably Gemini already. Why does she think that Angel from the dark guild was one of the six? Cause Gemini carried her hard. She needs to stop summoning the cow as well, there hasn't been a time it hasn't been just a waste of magic LOL (Even when he broke the wall, it was a trap!).

lucy should have used gemini, and when hughes was confused at why she couldn't control that lucy.

summon leo, and knock her out.

done n dusted.

but if fairy tail guild members had any brains (and lucy wasn't useless and brainless while being able to control her powers at least 1/10), it wouldn't be nearly as amusing, it's just irritating to watch sometimes

smh the cringe continues. Mary Hughes' vernacular in particular made me like tots want to skip the episode. The story seems like it might develop into something interesting, but I can't take this arc seriously when the villains are so cringe and the fights are so lame.

Watching a Gildarts fight live, if only Natsu could be there.

Poor Lucy, when her powerhouse Taurus won't listen. I'd say the closest one to being normal is Capricorn.
Natsu should have become stronger after absorbing all that fire.

I hope it end soon.
