I remember how heartwrenching it was to read this chapter, especially so with Wendy being possibly my favorite character in FT next to Lucy.

This episode did still feel like a tearjerker despite me knowing what was coming up already.

And like TragicRomance said, they should have just gone with a cliffhanger.

But man, the second half of the episode were really dragged out without any real pay off. They should have left us with the cliffhanger of Face exploding and not show Mest saving the day yet.

Wendy so badass this episode, really great fight. Animation was pretty decent also.
Would probably get a bit more feelsy if I hadn't read the manga before, but it was fine.
Great episode.

Good episode, the emotional tone was spot on for me. Damn I really thought they were gonna go out for a while there.

But yeah, it's a shonen after all. Can't expect "too" much :p

Best episode of Fairy Tail 2014 so far !!
The fight was super intense with epic soundtrack and the emotional moment in the second half of the episode just got me in the kororo xD still i'm so glad she didn't die, but it's FT noone ever dies lmao :b
I still think Wendy has a lot of potencial power to discover and probably one of the stongest characters ^^

I think someone slept when Mashima drew the corresponding manga chapters, as always before Wendy got interrupted when it was her time to shine. Whoever's job is to ensure she is useless must have slept or been on holidays.

Good for us (imho), as Wendy was awesome. Looking fierce, and taking out Ezel that fast. Fight was rather short due to that, but that was no surprise given the overall situation.

And while Doranbolt may be seen as a "deus ex machina" save, it was never a question of whether Wendy and Carla would survive. And he actually is the most logical choice given his abilities, his previous interaction with FT and Wendy etc., especially compared to *another* power up. Or Ezel suddenly both having enough strength and wanting to save them.

The only other somewhat reasonable other solution i can come up with would have been Gildarts completely obliberating Face, as the base was still intact there, which might be the reason it's still functional. But that would be way more "deus ex machina" then Doranbolt.

disappointing ending , we see the great fight of Wendy in DBZ mode then the other half of the episode climaxing of them destroying face only to be saved, Seriously?!?!?

Plain and simple if your not going to die don't waste my time climaxing half an ep that their going to die and pull a rabbit out of the hat last second.... annoying.. On the plus side at least it's not as bad a ending with a standard 10 seconds left countdown.

I can't believe I even thought for a second that FAIRY TAIL was actually gonna kill off some main characters. Honestly I would have preferred them to actually die right there (especially with that setup) but that would be too sad for a show like this :P

Dat dragonforce doe. I wonder if shes ever gonna get to use that again

Okay, I get why people are claiming that it would have been absurd for Wendy and Carla to be the first to die (because it would have) but that really is no excuse for this lazy writing. And, before someone claims that I'm a hater, I'm not a hater. Fairy Tail was one of the first animes I watched. This anime/manga (haven't read much of the manga) will always have a place in my heart. However, I shall not defend this lazy writing.

Half of this episode was dedicated to a flashback montage of Wendy and Carla (which honestly kind of pulled my heart string). We are sitting there waiting for their emotional death when-...NOPE. Out of fucking nowhere, Doranbolt comes in like some masked hero to 'save them at the last minute'. Listen, there is nothing I hate more than when someone teases a death. It's lazy. What makes it worst was that Doranbolt legitimately appeared out of nowhere.

Don't get me wrong, I already knew that Wendy and Carla weren't going to be killed off. However, I would have been more satisfied if they had somehow managed to survive the explosion. But NOPE. Doranbolt teleport across half the continent to heroically save the duo.

Speaking of asspull, I think you guys totally forgot the time that hades attacked wendy and that whole disappear moment.

Anyway, I liked the episode, wasn't convinced that she was going to die but I was near believing it with the little time left and the whole flashbacks. I was actually expecting mest to teleport in, teleport them out and blow it up himself or something akin to that.

This bit tugged at my heart in the manga, and anime just went full throttle. I get people raging that they didn't die and though a part of me would have wanted it, another part will always be happy that they're still alive.

Feels were real.

Mixed feelings about this episode, but overall it was great. Wish the fight was fleshed out a bit. Knew what the ending was going to be, but the part with the memories got me in the feels. I was crying, but I'm a big push-over. Wendy's fight is the beginning of all the good stuff from this arc so my hype has risen so much with each week.

Ah man, they should have gone for a cliffhanger there... Anyways, brilliant adaptation. Wendy had such an incredible character development. She used to be so shy and nervous but now look at her. She is willing to sacrifice herself for everyone. Both her and Carla are admirable. All in all, beautiful.

I just can't wait for those glorious Lucy chapters. Those were so incredible, and I am feeling goosebumps just by reminiscing them. You guys will know when you watch. Long story short, I fell for Lucy all over again. She really is the best character of FT for me (along with Gray)


Me too!!!!

Well compared to nnt the per episode budget for ft is less
also they did animate natsu vs jackal nicely, jellal vs os too
the problem with this fight was the frames and colour werent clear, they could have given a better view of ezel's and wendy's attack
also part 3 is coming
Csk?

But yeah great fight. Damn, already got fan of Wendy's dragon force. It look kakoiii!!

The episode was fantastic but the plot isn't. Wendy vs Ezel was a great fight, very interesting to see Wendy's Dragon Force being shown. The Wendy and Carla flashback tugged a few heartstrings.

But, I think the plot is unreasonable so far. The threat of all magic being eradicated from the continent of Ishgar should be enough of a danger to call up one of the Three Knights of Ishgar we haven't seen if not all, not even Gildarts arrived.

Also, the Tartarus guild are lacking in strategy. They could have easily carried out the Face operation if they sent Keyes instead of Ezel to stall out any intruders like he is doing with Gray.

Shit. Even though I was fully aware that people don't die in Fairy Tail, all those flashbacks really made me doubt it all. Not sure if I should be ashamed at myself or impressed with Mashima. Also, fantastic and definitely the best power-up yet. Damn shame we won't likely see it again.

yeah I did expect them to die. theu made a very long scene of memories of them being together and even made new scenes from their past.at first I though ow come on they can't die... and then the memory sequence started and they made it so good that I started crying over their impending death. I was ready to have my last moments with wendy with a last sentence sort of thing and then BAM out of nowhere doranbalt saves them...that made me angry cuz I already felt like we will lose them....

I hate when animes make heroes undieable, that's just stupid.
why ?
because you know that they are not gonna die, so you can't take drama scenes seriously.
0/5 for this episode because of useless drama with characters that never die.
Final Fantasy VII is a shitty game.

How could anyone defend this?

Though not a standard rating, -5/5 would be a better representation of how I feel about this episode. I would actually feel insulted if the author thought that montage was remotely convincing, given the past records for this series.

Along with how impressed I was to see Wendy's powerful side, I couldn't help but think "I guess we can't have a single innocent female character in Fairy Tail (With Mirajane, Kinana, and now Wendy)".
Also.. I think I didn't feet for the character enough.. or something.. because I seriously thought Wendy and Carla were going to die.. and I was okay with it because 2 lives over millions made sense.... Am I heartless?
Anyway, I now ship the forbidden love of Doranbolt and Wendy even more... even though I really wish their age difference wasn't so drastic >^<.
Now to look forward to Gray's fight with Silver.. which I predict will be a lot like Natsu vs the Flame God Slayer
...or in correspondence to the next episode, Natsu and Lucy's fight against the Soul Eate- I mean the Soul Absorber.

I hate how they insists on making these stupid dramatic scenes.

This only works when there is a chance the character could actually die. We all know you don't have the balls to kill off any main character.. so for me, this sort of scene just drags on as I wait for the bullshit way they survive xD.

Her Dragon Force was cool though.

It was a nice episode. Satomi Sato showed she could make a good battle voice for Wendy, who looks awesome in Dragonforce mode.
I've already read the manga but still, those feels. Well done Fairy Tail.

Oh my gosh O_O
Fairy Tail is one of the few anime that can continuously make me both laugh and cry over and over, and can get me super attached to the characters, and make me want to be a part of what's going on, and feel immersed in their world. This episode was so sad T^T I was so sure they weren't going to make it because the series is so progressed now that I think they really could kill off a main character like that, and then they showed that montage of their lives with the sad music and everything, making me all sad and depressed, and then right at the end Doranbolt swoops in and saves them, and I just fall over and start giggling like an idiot. I don't care what anyone else says, Fairy Tail is an absolute masterpiece.

Pretty great episode except for the complete asspull. Wendy's Dragon Force is really cool and the fight was quite good but should have been longer. I agree that it should have ended in a cliffhanger. If they died it would have been shocking but it's Fairy Tail so I didn't expect them to, but at least give us some doubt.

The fight was brilliant, Wendy going DF, kicking some ass and suff, but there is one thing. Why da hell didn't they use the original Dragon Force Theme music ? Just find Wendy's fight on yt, lower it's volume and then play Dragon Force theme. My freaking god this would be AMAZING!
