Yeah, This is the biggest bullshit Mashima did in the Manga. Lucy was so powerful and he let him lost. I bet Lucy could beat Jura in a one on one battle if she got serious. Anyways, next is Jellal vs Jura right? More rage inc.

I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR LAXUS BATTLE. FUCK YEAH!

I'm sorry, I know Lucy deserved to win against Flare but....to beat Jura? One of the 10 Wizard Saints Jura? A character that Mashima described to be on Gildart's level? As much as I like Lucy, she would get absolutely destroyed by Jura. Even if Lucy got serious, I doubt she'd beat Jura. Put up a fight, probably, but beat, yeah....she's gonna have to see how well she can take on Gildarts first.

Moving on, are people seriously complaining about Lucy losing? Guys....they win and you aren't happy, they lose and you're not happy. Should they just not fight? Should Fairy Tail just not have fights anymore? Would that be better? Why dont they settle things by just talking it out from now on then?

As for the actual episode, I think the episode handled the manga's chapters well,
the animation wasn't the best thing in the world but budgets will be budgets...looking forward to how the next fight with Jellal vs Jura get's animated....

Someone told me that Raven Tail were much more epic than Grimoire Heart. That's ridiculous. Raven Tail is annoying, they play like crazy dirty, none of them so far have cool magic, they're actually not stronger than their FT counterparts and the story actually makes you want to hate them.

Grimoire Heart never actually made you hate them so much. And they were amazingly strong - Bluenote comparable to Gildarts, Ultear never lost but rather was converted (her time arc was broken), Rusty defeated like 5 people then was fighting and winning a battle which involved 7 people and Azuma defeated 3 people without breaking a sweat, gave Mira a run for her money and was about to defeat Erza.

They also had super cool magic - Azuma with that Tree Magic and the explosions, Ultear with the Time Arc, Rusty with his broken Dream Magic, Meldy's Sense Links, Kain's creepy doll magic (actually pleasantly surprised by what an original idea this was) and Caprico's human summoning magic.

Grimoire Heart were definitely the devils of the genre - I don't think we'll find baddies comparable to them any time soon, unless they make a reappearance (yay Kain, Rusty and Bluenote!)

@Spirai You realise Natsu and Lucy haven't actually spent 8 to 9 years together because the 7 year gap was an actual gap...it's like waking up from a coma, you feel like it's been 1 or 2 minutes but in reality it could 12 months or years or something. It also explains why they don't look 7 years older too.

Emotional end to the episode.
Can't wait til they turn the tables and climb back up to the top, can really feel the emotion when Lucy/Gray lost.

Wow. My emotions really took a ride on a rollercoaster this episode.

Laughter from Gemini & Mavis.
Excitement from Natsu & Urano Metria.
Anger from Raven Tail's cheating and getting away with it(?).
Sadness from Lucy crying.

Awesome episode. 5/5

Okay. I've been looking at these forums every week for quite some time now, but it's the first time I really feel the need of commenting.

First of all, my appreciation of that episode was great. I loved it. I don't know why you people are whining. Lucy should've won? Raven Tail are not interesting evil characters? This made me laugh quite a lot.

The anime showed us exactly what I was waiting for since quite some time now... despicable antagonist. Yes, I hate Raven Tail from the bottom of my heart, but that's just how great the staff managed to create them: the kind of enemy that you simply cannot love, that are simply cheap, dirty bastards. That's what they are, and that's what's so great about them. We hate 'em bad. The fact that they won because of that just showed us how a world full of magic can be cheap and unfair at times. Of course it can.

I loved this episode on almost every aspect. The cute Mavis, the whole Fairy Tail's guild and their reactions, Natsu's bullseye on the cheap trick of Flare, Lucy's compassion for the little Asuka, Flare's twisted personality, the combo attack of the two gates, Urano Metria's awesomeness, Gemini and, last but not least, that girl in Sabertooth that seemed quite interested in Gemini.

I do have my own regrets in general about the games up to now, but they are strictly personnal ones, like the fact that Juvia didn't do much again in the last episode and that the anime seems to tend a lot toward Natsu x Lucy since quite some time... being more of a Natsu x Lisanna fan, I find it a little dissappointing.

Oh well, I hope Gajeel will rock later on!

It's unbelievably easy to cheat in this tournament. Noone noticed neither Flare nor the other Raven Tail cheating. If it's that easy every team can cheat, it was kinda unrealistic imo. That's why I didn't like this one..

Lucy's fight was great on the other hand. She seems very powerful now, I loved her fight.

Heh, this episode is exactly what I was expecting :D
At first I was a bit surprised at how much Lucy improved, but I figured she would still lose - even though I at least hoped for a draw. That's how it always is in FT - they fail hard and then pull a win out of their ass xD

Fuck, this episode was so exciting, I love the level Fairy Tail has reached now, for me, i hated the Tenroujima Arc, it was so boring, but the grand magic games are so awesome.
I feel so bad for Fairy Tail, they just have to win, but Raven Tail will keep cheating I think, even in the next episode with Jellal.

Obra can dream about the days he is powerful enough to stop Jellal's spells, the level of difference is so vast I don't know where to begin.

Jura on the same level as Gildarts? Well, maybe he was described as that, but certainly not shown. Gildarts is portraited as the strongest member of Fairy Tail (he never fought anyone but Natsu though), while Jura was in a lot of trouble fighting people at the same level/a notch weaker then Natsu, Erza and co. And that was against Oración Seis, while Team Natsu went and beat Grimoire Heart, which is considered stronger. Gildarts ultimately didn't have all that much trouble defeating Bluenote Stringer, the strongest of them.

The anime definitively showed Jura more on a level with Team Natsu, maybe even below Erza, with Laxus still coming closest to Gildarts in terms of power.

Anyways, this episode was both really enjoyable and really annoying. with Raven Tail resorting to cheating twice. And the magic council continues to show amazing resistance of learning from past failures, seeing that they granted Raven Tail the status of a regular guild. Maybe it has to do with the buildings (though they moved..hm..) or something else specific to the council as an organization, as Yajima seems to have noticed what was going on.

Well, i hope Raven Tail gets what they deserve, and i hope Lucy gets another chance to shine. Man, first they remove Wendy from the fights, now they interrupt Lucy..cmon, i don't want dozens of Natsu-power ups in a row, or Laxus or Gildarts coming for the rescue, everyone has to get some awesome fights.

Natsu helping Lucy in the end kind of shows how Natsu has matured over the course of the series. He can be brash(if that's the right word) at times, but has a sympathetic/comforting side too.

Dang it, they cheated twice! Hostaging Asuka and then the last one... despicable. Like Mavis had concluded by herself, few but only the high level mages or the sensitive ones probably know it too.

Aww man, I wanted to see Urano Metria again. It gave me the shivers when she was casting it the first time around because of the long ass incantation and the flashy effects. X( The redhead was such a lame opponent if that was all she had, I feel for Lucy how frustrating that was.

I was really curious how much the 'training' they did actually increased their power. This episode showed quite obviously, a heck of a lot.

But god Raven Tail, how can no one notice? Well they probably did but just didn't care. I knew something was suspicious, but didn't expect Zeref to pop up again yet. Can't wait for it all to unravel. And of course to see Natsu and the others destroy Raven Tail.

This is exactly why I consider Fairy Tail to be boring now. Not only do they cry in every single episode, they also lose all the time, only to win by the end because of "power of friendship". When a character finally seems to do well (which was surprising), it gets completely ignored because of piss-poor writing.
What a Goddamn tedious series.
