Thanks to Mashima, I started hating Erza after reading the manga having this fight. I'm not going to complain much now but I'm happy this bs is over.

Looks like 2 more episodes till this arc ends?

The battle was okay, not too intense. fighting with wills.
well , decent battle overall. but Face......
Next episode title "The girl in the crystal" <<< What is this mean? makes me want to read the manga. is it Mavis? or who? Makarov will appear out of nowhere with Mavis or with the girl in the crystal? and i think acnologia will start to talk in the next episode.

Thought the Erza part of keeping on fighting even though she got all her senses sealed was pretty damn cheesy to be honest....

Oh well, I guess the other parts were good and we sure got a damn cliffhanger on this ep :/

Weakest fight in FT by far. I read the manga so I knew. I actually would with Lily's "other senses manifested" thing, in fact aren't there sensory types in the manga or something? I'll just assume Erza somehow activated some sense that allowed her to perceive the actual magic aura (or curse in this case) of someone. There's also the whole "I can feel your instinct to kill" thing done by other manga he could've used.

In the other side of the fight, Kyouka was literally just given a power that's God-Tier (and she didn't even use it right). She says she can keep strengthening her power but she didn't become Mard Geer level or anything (I'll just chalk this up to only becoming as strong as the body itself can handle) or it has to do with she couldn't use her full power due to linking with Face. I still don't understand the senses thing, if her curse is strengthening then how can she even affect the senses (besides strengthening them)?

Yo this episode was so goddamn weak and shitty. I could enjoy the Acnologia x Igneel part because that was actually amazing.
But the total amount of BULLSHIT that Erza x Kyoka match has is too fucking much. I mean could Hiro not think of an other way to fix this fight?
Gladly I had already read the manga so I already knew of this but fuck these two episodes were a waste. At least the background music was okay.
1/5, this episode was absolutely garbage.

i guess..may b the creator's were so confident about that the viewers must have remembered about her artificial eye thing they never bothered to explain her tolerance/resistance level ...

so I'll take this as a good thing..

Question: If Erza was stripped of her sense of touch then why on Earth is she supposed to feel pain?

"I've stolen her five senses and increased her pain sensitivity to the max" <-- What, this doesn't make any sense.


Pain is separate from the sense of touch. It was formerly believed that pain was overload of the sense of pressure (which falls under "touch"); however, the pain receptors are distinct from pressure receptors.

It's hard to say what kind of effect Kyouka's curse would have on the CNS, but the pain areas of the brain are also distinct from the touch areas just as the pain receptors are distinct from touch receptors (pain seems to be registered in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas the sense of touch is located in the postcentral gyrus). Then again, it's hard to say how people's brains work in Fairy Tail land. The thing that bugged me about "I've stolen her five senses" the most is that there are more than 5 senses (in fact, there are 20 or so known senses; again, who knows how many senses people in Fairy Tail land have)

Also has anyone noticed that this studio focuses and makes the extended fights or anime original fights scenes better than the canon fight scenes?
For ex: laxus vs tempesta anime original fight was a hell lot a better animated than the canon one
Acno vs igneel in today's episode was extended anime original fight which was better than previous episode
Also I remember during Gmg, gray and juvia's combo attack against atlas flame was better animated than the real one.Even rufus's attack looked lot better and so did jura's in anime extended attacks and fight

Everyone is talking how much the episode is trash and you know, they are totally right ffs.
All Erza's fight outcomes are predetermined by her victory after being completely useless and then using the power o friendship. Good stuff, the best plot (-_-)

Omfg seriously the amount of hate on this episode is absolutely ridiculous fairy tail is at an amazing part of the anime I thought this episode was fucking great ok animation may not have been perfect all the way through but the build up to face was fantastic and I didn't expect it at the end.

Also the acnologia and igneel fight was fucking awesome and the natsu and Mard geer one is heating up to not to mention how great the story telling was. As for the Erza vs kyoka fight I really do not get all the hate I mean it wasn't the most intense fight but it had a good story and was inspiring I loved the scene after Erza lost her senses and still fought back. It is a world of magic what do u expect? U cannot complain about that seriously guys what's all the fuss about was 5/5 for me one of the best most intense episodes I've seen can't wait for next week

Lol this episode was so dumb. Felt like I was watching a hentai the entire time with whats her name's ability to increase sensitivity of others. I swear that's her only purpose, as doujinshi bait for some bdsm with Erza.

The 5 sense things but overcome with nakama power was even dumber.

A bit too much fanservice and maybe little too much Nakama power. I mean Erza could stand up a minute after she lost all her senses. I mean wtf? I think it would have been better if someone jumped in for her.

It just way too much nakama power for someone to fight without any of their 5 senses. This is totally bullshit. LOL, I guess Happy were right, "she is Erza". xD

Anyways, they had a decent animation. So my rating will be 3/5.

Fairy Tail on that Nakama power up again, but this is on a whole new level of derpiness. Hiro Mashima has really just given up writing his manga properly, the series had a good start but went sour fast after the defeat of Laxus.
I really hope Fairy Tail would get cancelled, but that aint gonna happen because all those readers in japan only care about the Fanservice and Nakama power ups.
Godspeed Fairy Tail. Godspeed.


I hope it doesn't get cancelled for one single reason and that is the music and OST. I can't see a future without it. xD As long as the music is on top, I hope they continue the animation. :P

Nakama powerup lol. This never fails xD yes, it's overused lmao Yeah, the fight sure is average, an explanation is required for how Erza was able to kick Kyouka's butt again despite all that pain (extra scenes in BD? But nah...no chance). Magic eye as some people above said is indeed a good reason, but I always think her torturous days back in Tower of Heaven made her much tougher and able to endure the pain, even to the bone. Too bad they never showed the reason(s), and of course "because she's Erza!"...Happy, your explanation sure is too simple to be convinced xD Well, looking forward to the next episode, as I kinda spoiled myself (due to curiosity) regarding who that girl in a crystal is and what it might be referring to.


Well, then we are two in the same shoes. >.> I also spoiled myself there. hhaah

yeah, you got a point. But if there is no touch receptors to send signals to the brain about pain, how are she supposed to feel it. It's like if you stab your finger with a needle. If you have no receptors there, how are the signal supposed to get to the brain.

But I guess anime logic in FT work differently. Apperently, this fight didn't have much logic or science in it. LOL

If the outcome is bullshit, it makes the fight bullshit for me.

Mashima should really be able to write better fights for Erza. He wrote Rave Master, where Haru used a sword with multiple forms. Erza's power is nearly the same but with armor, and this is even referenced in the Edolas arc where Edolas Erza uses the transforming spear named after Haru's sword. Potentially we could have some really interesting battles where Erza uses a combination of different armors to win, but instead she gets her ass kicked until the bullshit kicks in.

as a anime only i couldn't belive when manga readers told me that this episode will be the biggest bull shit ever , and i was thinking "impossible to be more bs than the GMG Arc" , well i was wrong this episode alone just make me hate erza that was a litte bit of a good character as a female , i dont know why but everytime they try to make a good female character in a shounen she always ended up being tentacle raped and came with this bs things (SAO reference for the ones who dont know).
This fight just ruin the entire arc for me it would be better if erza just died and acnologia blow up kyoka by mistake ...

Finally caught up to the anime... And the Erza vs Kyouka fight just made me cringe, and reminded me how bad the fight was when i read it in the manga. Note that Erza used to be one of my favourite character before every chapter after Grimoire Heart arc, just made me realise the whole BS thing about Erza being incapable of losing, will just continue til the end of the manga...

When Happy gave the explanation, "Because, she's Erza". I just felt like Mashima basically saying, 'Hey Peeps, you know how I made Erza into this character who doesn't know the meaning of defeat even though she's completely outmatched. Yeah, you realised that, eh? Looks like you all gonna have to deal with the fact that she's never going to lose, she'll always win through some BS means that I create.'

No disrespect to Mashima, I do enjoy his big works, Rave Master and Fairy Tail. And at least the worst fight in this arc has come to pass.

And for all those who are still complaining and threatening to drop the series. Sure by all means drop it, if you can't take it, why are you suffering this, unless you're all masochists. Ragequit if you must. Otherwise suck it up, deal with it, and enjoy what you have liked from the anime/manga. But if you don't enjoy anything from it since a while ago. Keep at it for a little bit or just drop it and forget how you wasted your time on it.

I don't mind people complaining but if you think it should be discontinued or equivalent, why are you here? Is trolling that fun for you?

P.S. Nakama power-ups are a bit too much. Though it seems as it will always be so for Erza. Gray's new power/power-up was probably necessary for him to stay relevant in the story as well as be a rival to Natsu. His character was weak compared to the others, and so he had his story resolved so he can't start a new quest. Laxus fighting in his heavily injured body is actually not BS, since throughout the series, he has been shown to have probably the most resilient bodies in the whole world of FT. Erza fights have always tended to be over the top, and ended in some BS way, and that probably won't change, though i wish it would.

So this was the controversial "Erza BS" I remember manga readers talking about some time ago. Well I usually disagree with many criticisms of Fairy Tail but I found myself shaking my head and saying BULL SHIT out loud when Erza stood up and started fighting with all 5 senses supposedly gone. Firstly, if she had no sense she'd be a complete vegetable, wouldn't be able to feel the ground, or hold a sword, definitely not punch or kick cause she wouldn't feel where the contact was. I can suspend my disbelief quite far for Fairy Tail but this was too much for me.
