And...the race is on. Wow, go Fairy Tail!

I have to say that Fairy Tail sure is enthusiastic about this. Poor Wendy though, she's not even there yet ;.;. Gogogo. I also lol'd @ Pyxis, getting owned by a compass XD

Fairy Tail barely made it to the games. xD

If that mze didn't have a spell to prevent motion sickness Natsu would have been screwed royally.

Really curious about that black gremlin thing. The only thing I've figured out is that it likes to smile every time it sees a girl and a cat haha. And every time I see Elfman, I think of Wolverine.

Romeo called Wendy "Wendy-nee", I thought it was a bit awkward since they're like the same age. :P

Gray held Lucy's hand when the labyrinth was shifting. AHH if only it was Natsu who was holding her hand hehe. Juvia would be pretty angry if she saw this. xD

Can't wait for next ep!

Thankfully Elfman replaced Wendy. Worthless loli is worthless.

The less Wendy and Carla the better.

They made it but as 8th. Kinda a tease not showing the other teams.

Fairy Tail is 1. Plus Sabretooth for sure. Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus.

Looks like there is some chick guild in the preview as well.

Probably Ivan's guild. Leaves 2 spots.

The MAN would have had to carry him the whole way.

I'm pretty sure he called her Wendy-nee in a previous episode too. I guess its just because he knew her when she was still older than him, which he still sees her as after the timeleap.

Imagine how fast the anime would catch up to the manga if that happened. I suggest you expect many 1 chapter/1.5 chapters = 1 episode from this point on.

One chapter per ep would make it a bit slow, 3 would be better but i guess you're right about them catching up.

Every little detail cannot be spelled out. So here are the 2 highest possibilities.
1)Silver keys can be bought in stores and are quite common.
2)They visited the Celestial World and spent a day there. Formed a contract with it and/or possibly others.

1=1 is actually the best for this arc. The FT manga has always been fast paced too. Especially the fights. Those can be extended easily.

3 chapters = Madness.
In the beginning it was 3. The Tower of Heaven and Fantasia arcs were way too fast. ~40 chapters crammed into ~12 episodes.

That would make this arc, currently at ~50 chapters, into ~16 episodes.

I prefer FT 1 chapter for 1 episode than crappy One Piece dragging 1 chapter for 1 episode with boring direction.

It would really work better in FT.

FT's pace is significantly faster that OP's and has many battles that last 1 chapter or even only a few panels which does not have many tactics or detailed thought behind it, whereas OP mainly has adventure and dialogue while having less battles, that also has specific details to them.

What? The hype is even stronger because we don't know the rankings. The opening song spoiled the teams anyway lol.

Anyhow this was such a fun and entertaining episode! I thought I'd be bored since it's only elimination and the encounters are with no name guilds but it was great all throughout. I don't read the manga but my friend spoiled me the rankings (>.<) but it would still be fun seeing the reaction of the audience with a Fairy Tail team
entering the Top 8.

I say it was pretty awesome episode!!
The sky labrynth was making me dizzie, Wendy is cool but not my favorite!!
Stealing maps was epic with Erza bondage ( I was like woah)
Poor Pyxis ,Erza knows how to hurt feelings, even though it was kinda funny!!
Atleast Lucy helped somehow...but then they fell.
What Gray was holding Lucy's hand I saw it but didn't looked like he was holding her hand....

While i liked the episode, the best was the preview, with Natsu multiplying. A moment before happy said it i thought exactly the same. And then Natsu simply removing himself from the people they have to fight, but not his team mates :P

I also wonder what happend to Wendy. I guess this and that gremlin thing are related to the strange magic Jellal and co asked them to check out.

Wow I already predicted that FT would have gotten the #8 placing for this round. I have a feeling pumpkin guy is some evil dude as well. This episode was pretty epic with the map stealing and I still don't get how magic works in FT Dx I'm so confused.
Then again, this entire game would probably stop half-way through due to some evil plot messing up the competition. It always happen... I hope the two guys, Rogue and Sting get beaten to a pulp by some bad guy and Natsu come flying in with his badass Magic to own the villain. That'll teach them never to mess with Almighty Natsu!
Wendy DDD: I was hoping her cuteness could score FT some points.

Poor Wendy. I wish she could enter too. She could show us the new dragon slayer techniques she's learning (and hopefully teach something to Natsu).

Well, Elfman really shined in this episode. Also, lol at Romeo thinking he'd have a chance of joining the team, it's simply funny especially if you know how strong the characters ahead are thanks to the manga. I swear Pyxis looks and acts like something that belongs in some future generation of Pokemon. Good episode, simply can't wait to see how the anime does the following chapters. Considering this arc in my opinion later becomes one of the darkest in all of Fairy Tail.
Oh right, and as I'm sure everyone has mentioned already, bondage Erza is indeed awesome.
