----------------------------------------
As Fairy Tail pushes onward towards the guild and Mavis they're branching off and facing various Spriggans. Lovely to see my Strauss Siblings getting more fights, rooting for 'em! XD Gildarts takes the badass cake this chapter though, handling Serena so easily. Guess it shouldn't be surprising really. XD And now it seems Invel is involved...

Hope Gildarts gets more action besides that brief epic attack.

Well by the looks of it, FT has a good chance to go for a counterattack now.

Well Gildarts took care of God Serena.
Looks like the other Spriggans are on the battlefield.

Invel staring them down.

Forward to Fairy Tail.

Many of you seem to forget already what gildarts just said, that Serena wasn't at his fullest strenght, since he is dead.

Hahahahaha feels so damn good to be right. Serena got merked in one chapter and we learned that HIstoria's are not at their full power as when they were alive. Wonderful chapter as we say goodbye to the cancerous clown who never knew his place

Considering the information that they're weaker than their original selves was never brought up until now, I'm calling bullshit on this one (and the rest of this arc).

So we learned nothing new about Gildarts' power.

Was that Fairy Tail member that lead Minerva and Rogue already established or did Hiro pull her out of his ass? Maybe she's related to Carla somehow.

Do the random background FT members even have magic? I'm still waiting for a Droy backstory.

On the other hand it was never stated that the Historias are at full power as their living state. So you're just being pettily nitpicky

Why are people complaining that Gildarts defeated a character that was dead to begin with? He even stays that if he was alie, God Serena would be a threat, but newsflash, he is not. Plus Gildarts's magic literally destroys things, on top of that he launched God Serena kilometers away, he did it before... Fuck it, I'm done with everything.

Nice to see Gildarts after all this time, and even in a middle of a battle he can find time to embarrass his daughter. I love the dotting father Gildarts.

I do think it would be nice to see a living Serena vs Gildarts, oh well, hopefully this is just a warm up for Gildarts and he will get to fight August.

And than almost all of the defeated Spriggen some dead some alive show up, what is the point, they lost, I guess give some lesser characters someone to fight as the Strauss siblings, you have Rogue and Minerva (they show up together, another shipping hint? LOL) and you know you are not much of a character that get much screen time when we have to be reminded that Kianna is a Fairy Tail member. Sorano has a funny little exchange with Minerva, maybe showing she approves of her sister's guild. Which a nice moment just Minerva what is going on.

They charge on forward, and next in line is Invel, and what is up with Romeo's rape page at the end, I guess he has been spending too much time with Mest. Mest is a bad influence.

I dont understand why some of ya'll are mad. It was clearly stated that god serena was basically fodder before the fight even started and that he would've been a threat if he was still alive. It was also hinted again right before he got owned at the end of the chapter.

I know fairy tail has alot of BS overall, but man i swear its like most of ya'll read these chapters LOOKING for something to complain about. Its like ya'll skim over the chapter rather than read it.

The saving grace of this chapter was that Historias being weak. However, Neinhart, Ajeel, Jacob and the three Historias are jokes at this point. That leaves 6 relevant Spriggans smh. While I'm less angry than before, I'm still pissed off at Hiro for bad writing.

Hiro planned for 6 spriggans if I remember correctly, it was in a afterwards in a volume.
The thing withe the historias, that would be very obvious since he 'creates' them, so if he wanted to 'create' someone strong, he should've brought back only one, since he already has 3 and possibly others, so that consumes his magic. They are very underwhelming foes to say the least.

I am wondering at this point why Neinhart is even a Spriggan.

Also Hiro didn't plan for 6 spriggans, his editor did but Hiro said otherwise.

Brandish will probably defect and she might nakamize Dimaria too so that leaves at max 4 Spriggans...urgh

Yeah I can see that happen, won't be surprised, he did made Brandish too OP, and even if it wasn't Brandish, other spriggan could take her place, it always happens that a bad guy turns good and turns on his friends etc..

Even though he was weaker, Serena was still one shotted by Gildarts. I'm sure Romeo could take him. With the exception of August, Irene, Rakheid and Invel, all the other Spriggans were made to look so pathetic. I'm sure the already defeated Spriggans are going to be defeated again, but this time it's gonna happen in like 2-3 pages, or off screen.

I'm interested in Invel though and always wonder what he is capable of. He's gotta be strong if he's always by Zeref's side right? He's the last Spriggan to not use any magic thus far so I'm interested for next week just for that and that alone.

2/5. Romeo only acts tough because everyone is doing work for him.

5/5 Mira's boobs.

Dude stop spreading this bullshit rumor before people latch on to it again. Again "THE EDITOR ASKED FOR 6 SPRIGGANS" . Hiro insisted on 12, it´s Hiros fault not the Editors. I linked the Volume Page in a different discussion.

I usually disagree with what you say usually but this time I wholeheartedly agree. This chapter was just hilarious. Hilarious in the bad sense although I guess I gave it a 2.5 because of some funny moments. If I excluded that, it would've been a 2.

Honestly...I don't know where you go after this. I mean this is Zeref and Acnologia. A conflict 400 years in the making. After this...there's nothing left. I mean, I know some people wanna see Ankhseram but to me that'd just be like Kaguya in Naruto (aka the worst final villain I've seen in recent Shounen).

Well it would help if Mashima didn't setup the defeat of 1/4 of the Spriggan 12 so early. In this chapter we already know the Historia aren't at their original strength, and Neinhart said it has a toll on his body when conjuring those three. So we're left with 8, 7 if we discount Brandish.

There's a good chance Ankhseram won't appear. In the recent expo interview, when asked what will become of Ankhseram, Mashima replied he might never implement him into the story and that he was just for a 'special occasion' or something like that.

Let's see :

1) 3 Historias are pathetically weak - 9/12

2) Neinhart, Jacob and Ajeel are jokes and will probably get trolled - 6/12

3) Brandish might defect and nakamize Dimaria - so 4/12 or 5/12

This is just plain bad -_-

You sum it up pretty much accurately. The answer lies with Invel now. If he gets defeated easily too, you can summarized that none of the Spriggan are useful.

and they say one piece is similar FT, lol. Pftt. There are so many generic one sided shonen cliche's in this manga its just downright pathetic. I am not sure why i continue to read this, hoping that the story will get better. Nope, we pulled an edo tensei out of our ass and revive all of the spriggan 12 that just fought, just to prolong this ridiculous war. Have gildarts come back with no explanation or reasoning behind why he was absent for so long. Great writing there hiro.

Completely destroyed what would of been a great dramatic death. Also God serena, a character that was build up to be one of the strongest power house characters in the series pretty much, ends up being nothing but fodder in the end. I have to say hiro mashima tries and thats fine, but he really needs help in keeping things consistent to what he writes, he says one thing or shows one thing in an early part of the manga, but doesn't really follow through it or even contradicts certain things.


I am sure most can explain this better then i can, i am kind on no sleep currently but i think you get the gist of it.
