Gajeel! Wow really wasn't expecting more backstory on him, felt reminiscent of the Makarov flashback on Tenrou Island.

Interesting. LOL!!! Absolutely loved this chapter's Levy/Gajeel scene. Tough Levy truly has pretty bad Small pervert mind...hey She is reading somewhat adult books in her room! what a imagination she has!!

So defensive and Water demon. Good Combo for close fighter if you can use it right and I think One of the Kyuubimon can surely use their abilities damn well.

So Gajeel knew Berno closely. This fight against Tartaros became personal to him at least.
Wait...so now Gajeel has...3 Dragon Powers!? Iron and Steel that he can use now. And Shadows with combining Iron.

Same here :o , was a bit sad but loved that flashback and how he wanted to prove the granny wrong.

Great chapter, love the Gajeel and Levy interaction, was pretty funny. So i guess this is near the end of this arc, very badass last panel too!

What a chapter. Levy was adorable, and did fix plot holes from last chapter Levy just forgot about her powers in the heat of the moment, but I forgive her. When Gajeel said do it again, the look on her face it was priceless.

Levy is going to revive everyone, so just like Lucy earlier in the arc, Levy is going to be the unsung hero who is going to make it possible for the other members to beat the enemies. I like that.

So the fight continues, Gajeel is having a tough time with Torafusa, when Gajeel and Levy were talking why didn't Torafusa, just let them have a conversation, that is a smart. We get a flashback. In the flashback they recon Berno personality, when she was alive in the council, she was just another bitter stick in the mud council member, granted not as bad as the gesser that was willing to sacrifice his own grand daughter and a pregnent lady to save is own hide, but still where was this side of her all this time, if we saw this side, I might have cared when she died, now showing she had a good side and a dead son, kind of pointless now, but if that allowed Gajeel to get his second wind, so be it.

Gajeel is back in control and has either defeated Torafusa or is about to do. It was a fine chapter, I love the Gajeel / Levy moments.

Yeah Gajeel using steel and defeating Torafusa.
Nice little flashback with Gajeel. Too bad he could not save the old lady from the wizard council.

I think Gajeel understood living a meaningful life just a little. Heh, that attack was for more than just himself judging by the looks of it.

This arc continues to be amongst the best FT has ever had, if not the best. If it continues like this this might top the Tower arc altogether.

Freaking greatness.

So i guess this pretty much 100% confirms that the way to "strengthen" a Dragon Slayer powers is for them to consume something close to their element. It happened with magic flames and Natsu before, then with Wendy and now with Gajeel.

And he still has yet to go into Dragon Force. Well with his element it'd be kinda hard uniless he found a dragon to provide him with the breath needed to switch it on

People say the FT members win because of nakama power... well that's true xD But on the same time, the fights make sense if you use your brain. The only one that are meeh are Natsu's fights (when he doesn't eats any flame). Good chapter, nice to see Gajeel backstory, and I'm really proud of his development. Also the scene between Gajeel and Levy was funny xD She should've done the air script from the beginning xD

Fantastic chapter as usual and packed a few surprises. Couple more Gajeel and Levy moments is always welcome. Was not expecting a flashback nor Gajeel knowing a council member. Nice that Belno was looking out for him, sweet. The end to the fight with Torafusa was superb and once again from Hiro Mashima very clever. Creating steel was awesome. Your turn Salamander! 10/10 chapter

Great chapter and all, but felt a little forced with the back story. Don't get me wrong I LOVE back story and I loved this one. I'm just a little disappointed this is the first we're hearing of Gajeels relationship. It shows a little lack of foresight/respect for his character when hiro brings all this up now instead of at least HINTING at it back when the Council Members were first being attacked.

Again I loved this chapter, I just wish Hiro showed a bit more foresight here to make the story more fluid and make us feel his anger with him more naturally.

Fight was meh. Typical FT fight from losing to power of feelings to one-shotting enemy.
I enjoy the beginning with Levy. She could have used her magic from the get go. Sub-consciously she wants the kiss lol.

Gray >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Natsu

His dad one shotted Natsu, Gray can use the same ice that can resist fire dragons flames.

Gajeel >>>>>>>>>>> Natsu

At first they looked equal but then you see Natsu this chapter then you see Gajeel gaining a boost iron into steel and he defeated someone Natsu couldn't.

I lived how Gajeel told Levy to use her magic to make air. Gajeel had the same idea that the fandom had last chapter. Loved his small backstory the first time I think I seen him cry also made the old council seem more human and not just Fairy Tail hating, easily tricked or paranoia old people. Great chapter worth the wait.

Gajeel was amzing as always!! I was hoping for DF but its ok it will happen next time.

But that steel mode :O so cool, but i doubt that he will use that again, only if he gets the same combination. Like Natsu atlam flame power, he cant use those anymore (well i think)

But I gotta say that she's got some good endurance for someone without air.

I just find Gajeel to be one of my most hated characters in fairy tail. and I simply didn't find the chapter all of that interesting, it was just kind of generic. The backstory was quick and left no lasting impressions, and it was obvious and predictable Gajeel was going to use Steel.

The backstory wax a bit of an asspull, that came out of nowhere. Meh, at least FT is defeating enemies with a bit more strategy these days other than the usual nakama power.

So Gajeel went from Iron Dragon Slayer > Shadow Iron Dragon Slayer > Shadow Steel Dragon Slayer? Wondering if he'll always be a Steel Dragon Slayer now.

One of the, if not the best arc of FT imo.

Hiro has really stepped up his writing, but I really wish he'd evolve past this formulaic way of defeating his opponents (i.e. FT getting their asses kicked, having a heartfelt moment, then becoming more powerful somehow (which is a lot better now, seeing how this growth in power doesn't stem solely from their feelings and is actually getting some explanation), then kicking the enemy's ass).
