THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Mm, first half felt kinda slow but it was mostly the aftermath of what Mard Geer did. Speaking of which, I think he initiated a bounty on Lucy? Damn...

Nice to see Aquarius' appearance this episode too.
For some reason, I didn't really feel bad for Lamy's death at the hands of Jackal.

This episode actually sets up the upcoming episodes well in terms of fighting against Tartaros imo.

The most climatic part of the episode imo is when Aquarius' key is broken by Lucy to summon the Celestial Spirit Key. What an entrance!

Well this is the Lucy spotlight episode, Natsu and the others are out of commission so it is up to Lucy the real main character of the series to step up.

Lucy could at least beat up jobber solders, is just me or did Lammy headbutt Sagittarius in the balls, not cool, that is playing dirty even for Tartarus. Mard Geer set a bounty on Lucy, saying any of the lower ranks he would promote to the 9 demon gates, but what reward did he have plan for a 9 demon gate member? I don't think anything really valuable for them, a pat on the head, a cookie, nothing that equals a promotion like it would for the lower rank.

I can't believe they don't want to show blood, but we saw Lammy without a head, okay whatever.

And Lucy able to summon 3 Celestial Spirits at the same time, and in my opinion her 3 most powerful spirits, I mean you can put Capricorn in that category and argue that point, but still very impressive.

This is the emotional farewell for Aquarius, and Aquarius is not one of the my favorites, but dam it was so sad, those flashbacks, and I told you the filler arc was going to mean more when we get to this.

I do like the twist though you have to have a special bond with your spirits to summon the Celestial Spirit King, if not someone like Duke or Karen could just do that anytime.

Next week, the battle of the kings. I can't wait.

This episode really made me curious about Layla, as she also able to summon 3 celestial spirit.

Didn't expect Aquarius having to sacrifice herself like that, the flashbacks and just seeing her bond with Lucy, and how they can't see anymore induced quite the amount of feelings.

Well, looking forward to watch the Celestial Spirit King being worth his price. But that trump card is too cruel.

A great episode honestly, a bit slow at the start but when it got to the climax it gave off the feels. Sure it's not death, but it might as well be, though there's highly a chance that she'll meet aquarius again whether that be due to her going into the celestial world or there being another method for her to be summoned. Celestial king fight time, god he looks too much like a megazord XD

Still, I feel so sad ;-;

Even though I knew it was coming I fucking cried. The music, the flashbacks, everything was so amazing. I always forget that Lucy is the main but with this it really shows why she is the main character. HYPE TRAIN!!!!!! for next week for Celestial King vs Mard Geer.

I teared up so bad when Lucy broke her contract with Aquarius...
The flashbacks made me feel nostalgic and I felt like sobbing into my pillow.
At least Lucy got the spotlight big time in this episode.
Looking forward to next week.

Well A-1 did this episode freaking justice. Holy crap the tears. Aquarius being sacrificed to summon the Celestial Spirit King was even more tragic in the anime than in the manga because of the extra foreshadowing and build up the anime did with her and Lucy. Next episode hype, Mard Geer Vs. Celestial Spirit King!

Ok I had to pause the video, cry, suck up my tears, play the rest, then I started crying again.

Read the manga and was only somewhat prepared.

The opening was good to show Lucy actually physically involved with the fight.

Aqurius and the flashbacks were perfectly timed and placed. Celestial King's entrance and Aquarius's entrances were both awesome.

Remember everyone, Lucy is not done shining.

You know what she gets next week!!!

The Feels in this episode were too real!

A-1 did not disappoint at all. Definitely one of my favorite episodes from fairy tail 2014.

And both Lucy and Aquarius FTMFW! I've never loved them more.

Looks like next week is hype as well.

I don't tend to get teary eyed easily but this did it.

CSK's entrance reminds me of Odin's in some of the Final Fantasy games.

Confession: Tears were present.

Have they been adding in new OSTs? It seems to me that whenever a badass scene happens (Wendy kicking Ezel's butt or Lucy opening 3 Gates), they just reuse the Main Theme over and over and over again. Or are my ears just super bad?

Lucy being able to summon 3 celestial at the same time plus she already summon Sagittarius in advance is really remarkable..

*slow clap*

Yes. and also Angel if i may add. Maybe that's what why Celestial Spirit King doesn't have Keys or permanent contract because that would be overpowering, imagine right but having this requirements for special summon is really great but at the same time really sad..
Fighting of the Kings will be Awesome...can't wait for next week...

Really do like the flashback of Lucy summoning Aquarius from the fish bowl as a kid. Recycled scene but dem feels still there.

Overall, I feel like they're just gonna do some magicmumbojumbo and she can get another key or something.

Literally best part of this arc is here. One of THE strongest keypoints of this arc that reaffirms Lucy's role as one of the two main characters and as the sole protagonist of the story.

I was waiting so hard to see how they do Lucy's scenes and A1 freaking delivered.
Lucy holding her own, summoning three spirits to hold off three demon gates and then sacrificing Aquarius key to summon Spirit King was brilliantly handled, especially with all the additions in anime that built up their relationship till now(every time anime had an anime-original Aquarius scene last year I was like "Uh oh I see what you doing here"). Feels were had, tears were shed.

the moment when Lucy is crying the key breaks and CSK just fucking destroys the whole Tartaros base in one swipe is such a powerful embodiment of the emotions felt for Aquarius sacrifice.

If next week has the level of quality of this one, it will be even better.

Finally the episode we all been hyped for! Even the studio knows, man! I was so hoping this would get a better budget and it did. So so so glad!

Lucy is fighting with her everything, oh God. That Lucy Kick! When she opened the 3rd key, I was just so. proud of her. This girl has grown to be so cool and just perfect. I am so proud of you, Lucy! Ah man, Aquarius is here!

When Jackal blew Lamy's face... the despair was real. It came as sudden as in the manga.

Aquarius... I can't deal with it. It's as strong as in the manga, the feels, everything... I am so gonna miss Aquarius and Lucy's bond. Be strong, Lucy.

And ladies and gentlemen, this is the animated ver. of the best chapter of the manga. I hope the Lucy haters learn their lesson and never come in the discussions now. Most of them don't understand her character anyway. This is the reason she is the MC. She is the reason everyone would be alive beyond these events. It's all thanks to her.

the cube didnt explode, it was slashed both in manga and anime, the only difference is , the cube is bigger in manga panel and it has more detail , in anime it was small and had less details, budget constraints

Well I am not sure which moment this person is talking about because there are 3 really sad moments in this arc. Lucy's was the first then there should be one by October and the last will be like December.
