Fairy Tail Chapter 461 Discussion

XPwnDEnd said:
Alright, this was a nice chapter to set things back to how such a big arc should be. It was bothering me that Fairy Tail was the only guild involved so far in this war.

Badd not actually getting knocked out yet is good too since the way his robot was beaten just wasn't going to cut it.

Look at it this way. His remote control toys gave the gang this much trouble.

Because they we're morrons and no one taught of the simplest of solution of switching opponent until after they we're half beaten to death ._.

Also, now they know his tricks, he's not THAT much of a threat anymore, unless he's got some hidden power, that of course he will have. On one-on-one he's pretty deadly, I will admit that, but against a group he's mostly ''useless'' in a way.

but if she was captured "cause they caught her lacking" she probably won't participate anymore in the war, and will end up joining FT at the end.

If he can make that cannon from thin air then I'm pretty sure he has a huge arsenal at his disposal. Plus you have to consider that through his toys he got a taste of the fighting skill and levels of several people which means he can make adjustments or pick better tools.

she obviously let herself be captured you dumb twit

Ramkec said:


Depends on the outcome of how did she got captured, if it was on purpose, then we still don't know, nor do we know her full power, but if she was captured "cause they caught her lacking" she probably won't participate anymore in the war, and will end up joining FT at the end.

Yeah, I'm pretty satisfied with how he's panning out, especially after my initial disappointment (though I probably should've thought more about this possibility). After those robots, that canon was a nice welcome dose of what this guy has in store for this war. Though those robots overall were easily solved, the fact that they potentially gained info for him is pretty significant if this aspect is used later on in the war.

Very good chapter but fairly predictable (for better or worse) It'd be ridiculous if other guilds just sit there doing nothing when the entire continent is facing a serious threat.

Hopefully Kagura doesn't get trolled this time!

If there's something about Hades or Mard Geer that can compare against these, I want someone to point out, because I don't remember them being this strong.

But what I really hopes is from Brandish fight. Of course is not her end yet, and her power is amazing, she can change the mass of things, that means she can reduce an attack to size of a insect. After all she said about Layla, probably Lucy and Cana will fight her for real sometime, so Fairy Glitter may be the final attack against her.

Memento Mori from Mard Geer was killing everything in a huge vincinity and could only be countered via plot device, aka Gray sacrificing his arm to the curse or something, because tbh the ability is a plot device itself.
In video games a la final fantasy those instakill abilitities (which Hiro is mimicking) have low hit chances or do not work against bosses making them somewhat niche in their usage and therefore balanced so that they don´t break the game.Even back in Rave there was a character that used such an abilitiy and they countered with a plot device too, as instakill attacks are unblockable, through regular means and do not care whatever attack you send out against them, which Hiro always makes clear before it gets used.

For Hades there is the mention of Grimoire Law and the fact that he was essentially immortal because of his plot device Lacryma. Again he was just beaten because of a hidden weakness, yet his capabilities were huge and they never went toe to toe with him, because he was regenerating any damage back.
