| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Aaaand Larcade and August are gone. Killed by Zeref and self-destructed/run out of life respectively. Mavis apparently none the wiser of her fallen son. Tragic, in a sense. Now begins Zeref vs Natsu in earnest with Mavis on the way! |

| What a terrible way for August to go. |
 |
| From good chapter to shit chapter. I was hoping we would see the arc actually start to get good but after one good chapter it all gets ruined again. All we have now is Acnologia and I'm sure that will get ruined soon too. Only thing I liked was Natsu calling Zeref brother |
| I am really disappointed that August is gone now, this could have gone in so many great different directions. At least the chapter confirmed once and for all that he is incredibly broken and could have destroyed any other mage 1v1 easily. R.I.P. August, I really liked you a lot, too bad your character was wasted like this. |
| How many chapters till Acnologia gets one-shot? |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
| wtf? August was so strong he could stomp them all then decides to go suicide kamekazee? ohmygod this is on an entirely different level of bullshit even on Mashima's standard. |
 |
| So August is finished. Mavis on the way to the Guild. Natsu vs Zeref continues. |
"I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates…and if I die trying…then at least I tried!" Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) |
| that was a fucking nothing... holy shit mashima.... |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| lol Larcade and August died like shit August just wants his mother Mavis to hug him huh and next week Natsu will release his final form called Dragon Demon? |
Isterio said: Every week Hiro Mashima delivers another treason against the arts. This series has been horrendous for a long time but at least it was consistant in it´s badness. Now it has reached a point where it delivers a few good ideas and just blasts shit all over them. It´s infuriating. A bad series is just bad and that´s it you don´t think any further about it. But this went from a mediocore Battle Shounen with great potential to a fanservice driven nonsensical mess of bullshit. It´s not bad enough that the quality was on a consistant decline but it had random moments of genius for it´s genre that sparked an occasional glimmer of hope, just to drown it in a river of shit. This is by far the worst Battle Shounen I ever had the displeasure of reading. It never was boring, but it always managed to anger past a certain point. Writing so bad it has to be seen to be believed. Specifically to all you fanfaggots out there who´ll yell at me to drop it. No I won´t. This trainwreck is nearly over and I´m on this ride till it´s pathetic ending, because I´m a completionist and it doesn´t waste my time to read 18 pages a week. ^this basically like if it stayed like reborn lvl of mediorce i would have no comment cause it'll just be cool powers but not only dont we get cool powers that are wasted, any semblance or cool concepts like natsu's humanity and forgiveness of sin is wasted. here's a fun little thing that i complied as well the 12 spriggans going in order of their names ajeel-uses sand magic, first defeated by erza and bisca august-copying magic, probably gonna be defeated by cana and gildarts combo. bloodman-can use almost all the demon magic known plus his own seal magic, defeated by gajeel brandish-size magic, became an ally dimaria-time magic, defeated by wendy, shelly and ultear god serena-dragon slayer magic, 1 shotted by acnologia invel-ultimate ice magic, defeated by gray irene-ultimate magic, defeated by erza jacob-stealth magic and transport magic, defeated by natsu and lucy as a joke. larcade-white magic defeated by sting neinhart-edo tensei(or revival magic), gonna say defeated by jellal wall eetho-machine magic,defeated by the lighting tribe and laxus all cool powers, and only 2 of them had the power to back it up and not get 1 shotted the only 2 that put up a fight and had their magic not become a joke, was wall etho |
| Weebs when native isekai series with OP mc but female and not incel: :soyjackwow: weebs when native isekai series with OP mc but male and incel: :npcangry: |
| This was mostly bullshit, but it was kinda sad as well. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| August's death is awful, will easily be forgettable. I really hope Natsu and Zeref's fight won't end up similarly that way. In the meantime, seems that Mavis found a way to defeat him. |
 |
| Man this sucks. Kinda? I don't really care, the writting is so shitty. The only thing I really liked about FT was the interaction between the characters, that was fun. I'm not mad, nor angry, I'm just disappointed that's all. Hope it gets a decent ending and I truly hope Mashima puts more effort into his next series. |
| Lmao, if Gildarts would have defeated August, then everyone would be raging about how strong August is and how could he be defeated. At least now we now that no one can defeat him cause he's just that strong. I hate this last Arc but this chapter was ok. Finally we can now shift full focus towards Natsu vs Zeref fight |

I don't see why everyone else is angry at you for this, I completely agree. I've been reading this mess for around 6 years now and even if it has become this trainwreck, I can't see myself suddenly stopping after those 500 chapters. I'm going to see i through, although it's ultimately been a waste of time. I was complaining about how Mashima wasted an opportunity with Zeref and Mavis' child and was actually pleasantly surprised after the reveal last chapter. But Mashima completely crushed it the next week. This legitimately makes me angry. So much wasted potential... It wasn't JUST the writing this time, many panel layouts and some of the poses seemed off (by that I mean, they were distracting and adding anything new, except another 1000th weird shot of Lucy's tits) Brieanime said: Though my opinion may be different, since I don't really hate on series. If I don't like a series I'm quiet about it. I don't like to rain on others parade if they like something. Though that may differ here, since this is a discussion tab, but the negativity won't change the series at all. Those who are complaining aren't going to spark some sort of change to the story, it's going to take the route that it takes. I'm not trying to start an argument or anything but by that logic, the positivity also won't help the story. I think it's really important for a fandom (or rather a readership) to voice their negative opinion about a work of fiction, especially on discussion sites like these (I doubt Mashima will ever read these/understands english but there are enough japanese equivalents). It's true that disproportional hate and blaming the author or in general anything other than constructive criticism is worthless (most of the time). But if you always keep quiet about your negative reaction, you'll never accomplish any change. Your dissatisfaction might lead to the author improving in their work (in the ideal case). Also it's sometimes just helpful for people to dissect what they didn't like, so they might gain a clearer understanding of their own taste & standards. Sometimes, other authors might also improve their own work by analyzing other series and seeing what was good/bad about them... I just think that the general discussion boards are a good place for negativity and positivity. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post.

| Does anyone even care about Larcade? Welp that was a shit way for August to go. Wonder if they'll ever realise they had a child. I'm not looking forward to how Acnologia will meet his end at this rate lol. |

| Gentlemen, round of applause to Mr. Hiro Mashima for reaching the pinnacle of bullshit once again. This chapter took the WORST possible & imaginable path one can think of. Unquestionable 1/5. Even -1/5 if I could go lower. So... Did someone ask what is wrong with this chapter ? Well, let me tell you : Everything. August's conclusion is just like Eileen's. Both as horribly badly written, stupid & retarded as one another. "i'll use this magic to destroy you all hurr durrrr" "o wait theres family here hold on" "ahhh damn cant bring myself to kill them so better kill muhself instead" "im sorreh" Eileen ? Tried to kill her own daughter when she had ALL the chances, ended up piercing herself instead at the sight of Erza. August ? Tried to self-destruct along with all of Magnolia & its inhabitants, ended up pathetically dying at the sight of her mother, Mavis. This is so laughable, I don't even. The fight started promising, and just like almost every other Spriggan fight, it ended up being a complete pile of trash. I'm not even kidding, I REALLY was about to love this fight. Even with the fact that of all magic he could use, August tries to self-destruct. I almost loved that... Until Mavis popped up on the scene & threw everything down the Oblivion of bad writing. Moving on. Natsu vs Zeref is getting more & more boring. Cause so far, well... Nothing really special happened. Just punches here & there, Natsu blabbering about family in a desperate attempt to "Fairy Tail"-ize Zeref. Not that I'm curious to see how that fight will play out (And tbh I'm not expecting anything great) but oh well. Next chapter is called "Dragon Demon." This doubled my interest now. Yep, doubled. 0% -> 0%. nerfx said: Does anyone even care about Larcade? Welp that was a shit way for August to go. Wonder if they'll ever realise they had a child. I'm not looking forward to how Acnologia will meet his end at this rate lol. I stopped caring about Larcade the moment he was pathetically defeated by Sting&co. And I don't think Mavis even gave two shits about August's last words. Acno taken down by Naked Lucy Fire Kick. Calling it. |
| LOL August commited suicide and also this week we had another seminar regarding friendship and family. Let's add another 1/5 for this horrendus arc. |
 |
| How did the 1st not know she has a kid lol? She even saw him in the air and didn't felt anything. Do people in Magunolia give birth with some different way? Kid just appears in front of you and you might not know is it yours or not. |

| I am usually one that comments with positive things and likes even if rest of the FT forums are saying chapter is shit...but here....I Say that I am honestly disappointed how August left from series...that should have gone better. Hiro-sensei whould have really done that better. everybody really have said it well, this has some serious wasted potential. |

| Fans: This arc can't get any worse. Hiro: HOLD MY BEER. ...I love that meme. Anyways...Yeah. Uh. No words really. Fairy Tail is one of my favorite series of all time but this is awful and nonsensical. It's getting very hard to stay loyal to this series. August was hyped for almost 2 years (July 22nd, 2015.) He barely fought and now he's gone. I understood why he stopped his attack but at the same time the way he went out was disappointing. I feel insulted over this writing. This is literally what happened to August: POOF I AM DEAD. At this point, I seriously believe Acnologia will be defeated by Happy. 1/5- Zeref looks really cool. That's about it. |

| > Mashima pulls off an attack that wipes out enemy "oh boohoo this is such bullshit" > Mashima kills off an extremely powerful enemy without some nakama power up thing "oh boohoo this is such bullshit" there's seriously no winning with you people |
| Oh well, the Augustus scene was surprisingly nice. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Almost 2 years of hype, + reveals in a chapter he's the son of mavis and zeref, then he kills himself WITHOUT Mavis or Zeref, or anyone realizing why August did that. I mean, it's because of Mavis indirectly, but from her point of view, an enemy just vanished randomly. I really liked the revelation about Mavis (somehow...) had a son, but this chapter is just bullshit. It's like Negan killed himself in The Walking Dead in the 7th season 1st episode after that enormous hype, instead of.. (you know who). I completely agree with people being so angry, but I'll keep hoping for something better. |
| What a shitty way for August to die. For being the son of two of the strongest and most importants mages of the manga, his character feels like one of the other random Spriggans. But, considering Mashima's track with this arc, I'm not even surprised. Prince said: He's in the same place as Erza, so...How many chapters till Acnologia gets one-shot? |
 |
| Meh, August death was so...boring like the last 100(?) chapters of FT. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| At least August went out because emotions and not gildarts/cana. Natsu/zeref bonds still there for some reason. |
 |
| Jesus Christ..........this series needs to end ASAP because I'm going to have a heart attack or something. The way August went out was extremely pathetic: "Oh I'm gonna kill myself and take the whole world with me." *sees mother in the distance* "Lol never mind peace bitches." I'm fully convinced that Mashima just doesn't give a shit anymore. He knows the diehards will literally eat up all the crap he shits out, so what's the point of putting in effort. Honestly though, I feel like once again, Mashima wrote himself into a corner with how powerful he made August, so I guess this was literally the only way he could get rid of him. Still a joke though. Oh yeah, almost forgot Larcade died too. Whatever, I didn't care about him at all. In fact, you could straight up erase Larcade's existence from this arc and nothing of value would be lost. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| So August was Mavis' and Zeref's son. He planned to destroy everything at the cost of his own life but then he saw his mom and just couldn't. Tho ye why would he take part in a war against her if he can't hurt her. Kinda stupid. |

| Is nobody going to comment on next week's chapter title?? Dragon Demon... guess those seeds didn't really go POOF after all. I'm all for Natsu to turn into a Dragon/Demon megamix as long as he still has his wits about him. |
| Zeref, was that necessary? I love this guy but I really don't understand him. I actually feel bad for August. Natsu calling Zeref brother, what. |
| That was a pretty epic chapter, and seems like next one is going to rock as well. |
| That was bad even for FT standards |
