[bittman]

Well we all guessed Panther Lily was an exceed...

Looks like Mashima is sizing up all the battles at the moment like they usually do. And now we'll just cut between them as people win here and there I guess.

Nice to see things kept simple in that all Gazille needed to do was smash the lachryma. It's rare we get things explained or analysed deeply, and it's sort of how I'm beginning to enjoy Fairy Tail. Not reading this to have some sort of life revelation, but as light entertainment. As light entertainment, especially that targetted at young adults, Fairy Tail is keeping a fairly solid standard.

[LoS]

reading this as light entertainment.

I would hope no one is looking for any deeper meaning, mystery sleuthing. The occasional laugh is good enough; although, that said this arc in particular has been much too straight forward. In the sense that it is almost entirely too predictable.

[iamtenninja]

Love Sugarboy's appearance: "This is fun~ No , really, this is a lot of fun."

[Shake]

haha I laughed when there was really an amusement park, great motivation to get eternal magic. Also loved to see the iron dragon slayer getting some action. It's been a while.

[LoS]

I just sincerely hope that post this arc Gazille isn't paired up with Tiger Lilly as another Neko - Dragon Slayer pairing. Assuming the pairings will continue(to be revealed), which as of now they shouldn't but who knows Mashima might decide to make something up further on down the line.


So who wants to guess the future fight pairings? Does Natsu or Lucy stay along with Gray to battle the two Royal Guards? Leaving the other to move on to face the King possibly?

Does Wendy get delayed by the Monkey looking adviser, the King? Does she have to fight the Exceed Queen?

[ghostexiled]

Anyway, I still hope that the coolest character from Rave will appear in some way. Uta the Eternal (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rave_master/v33/c276/9.html).
Well he did not... but his weapon did! (http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/181-127/16) :D

I am enjoying the manga, always have been and always will be. Again I stress, if you have read his previous series, then you know what you are in for.

There doesn't always have to be twist and turns and OMG Epic scenes all the time. I enjoy this manga for the reasons that others may not. It is an easy going and at times predictable series... so what? At least it is not getting all lost in it's shadow like some other series have!

Anyway, on topic...

I totally called Lilly being an Exceed, one of the first as well! :p

I like the fact that Wendy is going off by herself (save Charlie) because I was worried she would just be a "support" DS to Gazille and Natsu.

Also, you know that Gazille is totally going to eat Lily's sword! :grin

btw, has Natsu forgot about his motion sickness? With the statement of him wanting to actually go into the park. :) I am sure that weakness will be exploited here... fo sho!

[LoS]

Well he did not... but his weapon did! (http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/181-127/16) :D

Not a fan of the weapon Tiger Lilly uses, it is absurdly big, nearly lol worthy big. If the latter does happen, I would for sure rotfl.

Hence why I believe he would be the one to move on an progress deeper into the palace to seek out the King.

[ghostexiled]

as far as pairings go...

Natsu vs. arrow eye-brows... because of the little heated conversation earlier between them.

Gray vs. Sugar Boy

I think Lucy will manage to keep going on and probably run into the King and his old ass servant man.

That is the point... I am sure (if it was like the Rave battle) there will be many jokes referencing why he is using such an absurb weapon. :)

I can easily see those predictions come true. I only said Natsu vs. King because I want to see it(selfish of me I know).

I don't know if Gazille will be making the jokes though, he isn't too witty with his sarcasm/humorous. It will probably be happy throwing in the one liner remark here and there.

[Kravmaga]

I'm almost relieved that some people at least are taking FT's plot lightly and enjoying as I have for quite a while... =)
IIRC, Mashima himself once mentioned that Ft is meant to be a break from all these series that take themselves too seriously "I want to encourage readers to just have fun reading this story and not think too deeply about it. Just come along with Natsu and enjoy the adventure!"

Back to business, now that we've finally gotten to the fighting stage, I'm starting to see some of the matchups coming up... Anyone for wendy+charles VS coco? Not that I support rigid enforcement of weight brackets, I'd be equally happy to see them going for biro for some payback... Happy+gazille vs pantherlily also seems very interesting; no sappy story behind it, no underestimating or holding back, just two men who dislike words with nothing personal in it!

[sarutobi_sensei]

Wow really big ass sword xD

So it's basically proven, Panther Lily will become Gazille's cat, more like Panther but who cares, it's a feline

Loved how Gazille asked if Happy was alright and then he said: I simply smash it xD

Where is mystogan anyway.

Natsu's reaction to Erza vs Erza was freaking AWESOME ;D WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH MONSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

Epic.

[hongoasdf]

It's official: Gazilles cat will be Pantherlily. Now all that remains is for Pantherlily to actually be a female, and my predictions will be complete.

Face it. That would be a fun twist (The gender, not the pairing).

Anyways, a nice setup chapter. I believe people will find it hard to complain about this one, except for the lack of Erza vs Erza-ness, but in return, we get to see a lot more fights simultanously.

So yea, Hughes vs Natsu, Gray vs Sugarboy. Lucy... perhaps she'll fight Byro, but I wouldn't discard Mystogan appearing at this point to fight either him or Faust. Then again, Lucy's got to have her fight this arc (As every other arc), so I'm guessing the King will be left for Mystogan. Or, you know... Mashima might surprise us all with the match-ups somehow. He likes doing that. Maybe Natsu will move on and Lucy will fight Hughes / Sugarboy. Wendy will meet the Queen.

Lolamusementpark. Lolsugarboy.

[Ero-Sanji]

I'm sure Panther Lily is going to join Gazille, the question is how big is he going to be?
About the fights I guess Gray will face the guy with the hair while Lucy fights the crazy one. Natsu however will face the king.

[Unlucky Boy]

Lucy should use Gemini now on sugarboy or Huges to find where the king's room is.
I actually think they're going to fight 3 vs. 2 or Gray might say "leave them to me" and both Natsu and Lucy will go forward, anyway I dont think Lucy can win against one of them which should be equal in power to Erza. She can win against Coco lol.
I really want to see the captains' powers... so far it seems like they depend on weapons magic so maybe one of them could be a silver claimer.

I dont know who Wendy is going to face, but I can totally see her almost losing and then Mistgun showing up finally and saves her.

[kkck]

Interesting chapter.

I am a tad surprised by mashima's crudeness here. DS magic was supposed to turn the lachrima into people but to just have to literally hit it with DS magic was a tad surprising. Still, gazille was just so close.... I think this confirms lily is some form of exceed. I think he is an hybrid though, obviously human and exceed.

So we have seen two flashbacks from rave now. We have seen the ten commandments and uta's power. I get the impression the remaining commanders will also have power from other rave characters. I think the skinny commander -not sugarboy- will actually use a magic similar to what musica had, he'd be a silver claimer. It'd be a good fight against grey lol. Dunno what power sugarboy might have though.
[hr]
Oh, a prediction. The reason people in earthland can't use magic is because of the floating islands.
http://www.mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/181-127/3
It was said the islands preserve the balance of magic. It does not make sense that magic needs to be balanced in a world that so severely lacks it so I think it is a pretty save bet destroying this islands will give everyone infinite magic. Dunno how such a thing would happen though.

I hope gazille free's everyone soon. I doubt they have enough pills for everyone but there should be at least enough of them to provide elfman, makarov and gildarts with magic. It'd be fairy law time here.

[Franklyn D. Kieran]

This chapter was such an epic win, i loved Natsu's reaction to the two Erzas fighting lol I don't know if i agree with what everybody is saying about Panther Lily being Gajeel's exceed, i mean i don't see why he would need one now, especially since the exceed were only sent to find dragon slayers to bring to Edoras, although it would be cool if the Exceed had some other use for dragon slayers, like a short of temporary power up, or even something to do with the Dragons returning, otherwise i don't see why Panther would join up with Gajeel :s.

[LoS]

That's what I'm sayng, can we in the future meet Dragon Slayers without cats? Can we only continue with the few we already have only for the sake of companionship?

By the way, when the heck is the Edoras Fairy Tail crew going to show up?

Also, what kind of relationship do you think Tiger Lilly had with the Exceed Queen to cause him to defect and switch sides? He is related to her, her confidant, lover... Did she betray him in some way?

[ghostexiled]

I for one am not on the same theory that Lily will be Gazille's cat.

I think he is either A.) Human mixed with Exceed thru the mad scientist guy or B.) an Exceed given some sort of magic boost, turning him into a powerhouse exceed.

Mystogun will be the one to confront the King.

I think the battles will play out like they will, but the good guys will start to lose ground and in that moment Edo FT will step in and help them out.

More or less like that. I don't where that Lilly/Gajeel theory came out from; that's very left field O_o. I think that Mistogan will also only show up when things aren't going for Earth-FT and and they have met the king, and I think there will be some kinda conversation which will reveal some stuff on Mistogan.

Panther Lily's sword was ridicilous huge and I don't think Gajeel will beat him alone, Edo FT anyone?

Ya even though mistogan hasn't really been in this arc since the beginning I'm fairly certain this is going to be his arc. I totally agree he will be the one who gets to the king first and he may already be there.

[Evil3ye]

I'm a little disappointed that we see like nothing of the Erza fight. Hope they're just saving it as for the final of these general battles.
Lluvia cover was awesome, I really would like to see her in this arc.

[Franklyn D. Kieran]

agreed, i'd like to see more of the Erza vs. Erza fight too : ) but i hope Earthland Erza takes the ten commandments spear, then she'd probably be the same level as Laxus. But yeah me too i'd like to see Edoras Gray and Eartland Lluvia together, that would be interesting lol.:D

[Aikidoka]

lol at the "I wouldn't be surprised if there's an amusement park here in the castle" and then BAM! Fave moment in the whole manga.

And then Sugarboy's entrance...XD

Agreed with Panther Lily becoming Gazille's cat companion. I was wondering why Mashima inserted that seemingly useless sequence of Gazille looking for cats, now I see why.

[Poops]

agreed, i'd like to see more of the Erza vs. Erza fight too : ) but i hope Earthland Erza takes the ten commandments spear, then she'd probably be the same level as Laxus.

Damn, that'd be sweet!
Anyway, in a typical shounen match-up, it would definitely be Gajeel vs. Pantherlilly, Erza vs. Erza, Gray vs. Sugarboy, Lucy vs. Hughes, and Natsu going after Faust. However, my theory is that Mystogan will show up beside Gajeel and fight Pantherlilly in his stead while he frees the remainder of the guild - I thought of this just as Happy asked why Mystogan wasn't here; this arc is definitely an important arc about him and he won't pass by this one without a real fight, haha.

I can imagine that Natsu will be fighting with Lucy and Gray to begin with, but then there may be some sort of announcement made by Faust that urges them that they don't have anymore time left, and Gray will urge Natsu to leave the fight to them so he can search for the king. Of course for Wendy, she will meet Shagotte to convince her to join forces with Fairy Tail temporarily, and her fight will most likely be Byro/Coco or an Exceed. :eyeroll

MORE ERZA VS. ERZA!!

[Zatono]

Ya even though mistogan hasn't really been in this arc since the beginning I'm fairly certain this is going to be his arc. I totally agree he will be the one who gets to the king first and he may already be there.

I feel like the King would Aizenstomp Mystogan, just because Panther Lily is scared of the guy.

[Krono]

Personally I figure Mystogan is more likely to deal with the queen of Extalia. After all, Wendy's the one he's been looking out for, and Extalia is where she's headed. Plus there are plenty of people working to deal with the king, but no one operating against the queen.

[iamtenninja]

The problem is why hasn't he shown up yet? Is he aware of the "war" that's going on or is he still looking for people to send to Edoras? There's still other reasons but I'm personally thinking something is preventing him specifically from returning to Edoras (like a barrier or curse or something). If he did show up then I'd say he'd take on BOTH the King and Queen lol Though your reasoning is very believable and I can agree with it as well.

[kkck]

I don't think panther could even be gazille's exceed. He is looks far to dignified for such a purpose. A sidekick/pet of that nature needs a more critter-ish look.

[Franklyn D. Kieran]

Yeah i think you are right about the fight's and i think Natsu will definately go off for a more important fight aswell as Lucy, and Gray will beat them both by himself, or maybe even the Edoras Gray will come along to help him? and we get to see both their powers alongside each other that would be awesome.

Yeah Wendy's fight wont be somebody too powerful i bet, but i would love to see some more of her Air Dragon Slayer moves! we havn't really seen her fight much, so i'd love to see some new moves.

[rivermask]

There's something that's been bothering me.

If you remember a few chapters ago, when the Lachryma in town was first introduced, Faust hit it and part of it cracked and broke off.
Now we find out that the crystal was Gray and Erza.... could this possibly affect their magic or something?

http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/174/19/

[ca12nag3]

I dont think so, its a collection of their total magical force, as how they exist at the moment. When turned back they are reformed into their original self.
I recon if it wouldnt matter if it were chrystal, chunks or dust. As long as it isnt used.

[senewe]

guys, I think that giant lachryma that floating is not big enough.

compare this http://mangastream.com/read/fairy_tail/181-127/12
and this http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/174/14-15/

what about the floating lachryma is actaually makarov and not the entire guild...

[kkck]

Can't wait to see gazille win this one and release everyone from the lachrima. How awesome would it be to see makarov kick some ass along with gildarts?

I would think the floating lachrima is more than ten times larger than the one at the street though. I do think a vast mayority of that lachrima is made out of makarov, gildarts, mira, lluvia and elfman -say 50-60%?- and the rest would be made of the hundreds and probably thousands of citizens of magnolia and FT mages.

It doesn't look like more than 10 times larger. for me it looks like 10 times larger only, which I think not big enough to represent magic's power of entire guild (and magnolia ppl).. and don't forget about luxus' bodyguards.

Remember not everyone can use magic. So most of the commoners in Magnolia are just that. I agree with kkck in saying that the lachryma crystal largely consists of Makarov, Mirajane, Gildarts ,Elfman, etc's magic power. I'm thinking by the time they are freed from the crystal, there won't be many enemies left to deal with because it'd just be a ridiculously uneven battle power-wise.

Lmao at the amusement park scene and Sugarboy on the Merry-go-round, AND also Natsu running away from the Erza vs Erza battle.

Take a look at the fight between gazille and panther lily. Note how gazille pretty much has enough room to fight the guy even though his own fighting style is quite destructive and panther has a huge sword. The place -and by extension the lachrima- are much larger than what is apparent.

[Unlucky Boy]

The giant lachryma looks much bigger to me.
Dont forget that it is 3D so if it's 10 times higher, then the total volume should be 1000 times greater.

[kkck]

true enough. The lachrima in the town is probably just a tip of the many lachrima towers shown...

[hongoasdf]

This has probably been said, and if not, many have probably thought of it. The lachrymas most likely represent the Guild Member's (Or the entire town's) raw magical power. If Erza's and Gray's were only the tip of one of the "towers"... Whose is all that remains? I imagine the rest of the guild members and towns people make up only another small fraction of the whole thing. Are Makarov and Gildartz really that much powerful as compared to the likes of Erza and Gray?

Erza seemed to be holding her ground against José, a mage supposedly of the same level as Makarov... So is Makarov more powerful than what he displays?

Or perhaps... a more far-fetched theory with little base, but there may have been another great source of magic in Magnolia at the time Anima absorbed it.

Or most likely, I'm overthinking things.

[Krono]

I imagine the rest of the guild members and towns people make up only another small fraction of the whole thing. Are Makarov and Gildartz really that much powerful as compared to the likes of Erza and Gray?

The big lachryma represents the entire town's raw magical power. So the guild, the townspeople (I'm not sure if we've even been given a population count, but it's probably ten thousand or more), and all the magical items they've got scattered around the stores and homes.

[iamtenninja]

We're probably not given the real scale of the giant lachryma compared to the smaller "chunk" that was Erza and Gray but yeah, it's not only the guild but the whole town, the people, and anything magic-related that was absorbed by Anima and converted.

[Marche]

]I think than in the next chapter the member of Fairy Tail of this world will help Gazille, the will fight against the "exceed phanter", so Gazille will crush the Lacrymia (I hope than I have write in the right way).
Or perhaps the phanter himself (because he is a exceed) will betray (I don't believe it).
I also think than Mistgun (than I think he is the "Gerard" of this world) will stop the fight between the two Erza.
And in the chapter 183 (or perhaps after) will convince the Erza (that of this word) to betray the king.

Anyways... this chapter will quit normally or it will be in hiatus as the manga of Shonen Jump??????

[Zeltrax]

uh.
is it just me or is the arc ending soon?
I hope not, cos it seems a little too fast . . .

Not really.... FT arcs usually have around 35 chapters each and this one has gone for around 15 chapters. It should be about halfway done. The fights against the commanders will probably go for around 1 or 2 chapters each so just that will take around 6 chapters. Then there is the whole exceed extermination thing. The queen has yet to be introduced. The humans are likely to have a backup plan for exterminating the exceed too IMO. Edoras FT has yet to participate and mistgun has yet to appear in the arc. That is just the predictable stuff, there are likely to be many plot twists to go. I would think mashima can easily have this arc last 20 more chapters.

Then don't forget where everything ties up (1 chap or so), and then... THE PARTY WITH EVERYONE FROM EARTHLAND FT AND EDORAS FT~~ I also wouldn't be surprised with the Exceed showed up too :D:D:D:D.

[goldb]

Quick question. Do you think once everything is sorted Mystogan will opt to stay in Edoras with their FT? or go back with his guild and become a more active member.

[kkck]

Quick question. Do you think once everything is sorted Mystogan will opt to stay in Edoras with their FT? or go back with his guild and become a more active member.

I would think that is the case. Does earthland need two gerards? Not really, one is more than enough at the moment. FT is also very overpowered, just look at how many mages comparable to the ten holy mages they have. Makarov, gildarts, mistgun, luxus, erza, mira... Natsu at his best is probably about as strong as erza, gazille is somewhere about there too. Grey is just a level below natsu, lluvia is extremely powerful, elfman is comparable in strength to natsu and grey with his full body transformation. Wendy is not a fighter but her magic is extremely remarkable. Lucy has 9 golden keys, if she had just a little more luck she'd be a beast among FT ranks.

[Krono]

Quick question. Do you think once everything is sorted Mystogan will opt to stay in Edoras with their FT? or go back with his guild and become a more active member.

I'd say he'd probably return to Earthland. It's where he's spent all of his adult life (adult in this case being from the age of twelve or so), and Wendy's there, and he does care for Earthland Fairy Tail. Meanwhile, as far as we know, he has no connection to Edoras Fairy Tail, and quite possibly burned all his bridges when he came to Earthland to try and stop Anima.

It's not a matter of "Does Earthland need two Gerards?" because Gerard and Mystogan are distinctly different characters. It's a matter of "Where does Mystogan fit in best?" and the current answer to that is "as part of Fairy Tail in Earthland."

[ca12nag3]

Hmm i got my doubts there, didnt Mystogan say he was on a mission before he even went to FT. <thats when he was taking care of Wendy.
Now concidering he knows so much about Edoras yet he was so young someone must have sent him not just to save Earthland but also for Edoras.
He might go back to or stay in Edoras after all this is over.

[Unlucky Boy]

Someone would have to take the king's place and restore Edoras after Faus and his army are defeated...

[llamapie]

Someone would have to take the king's place and restore Edoras after Faus and his army are defeated...

Mystogan obviously. :P There is a connection there. He is either ex-royalty or ex-military for the humans. The whole fact he was simply in earthland to stop the anima kind of gives that away. After this arc mystogan is gone, that much is certain.

[kazille]

now the question is... is there going to be a chapter this week? cause it's holiday in japan and stuff.. WSJ is not gonna have one..

[Marche]

now the question is... is there going to be a chapter this week? cause it's holiday in japan and stuff.. WSJ is not gonna have one..I also want to know that!!!!!!!!
Anyways I also think than Mistgun will stay in Anima with Erza's Anima.

[kkck]

It depends, what day is FT usually released in japan?

Wednesday. And the answer is yes there should be a chapter this week, but not next week. This issue due out on 4/28 is a "double" issue numbering 22-23. Issue 24 would be out on 5/12.

A double you say? Hope the art doesnt suffer, well dont expect it will ^^

[goldb]

I thought it'd be something like that. Thanks Krono

The art isn't going to suffer, as it's going to be a normal chapter. The only things that double for a "double" issue are the issue number and the amount of time until the next issue.

but are you sure that the adventure of Mistogan end with this arc?
I'm not really sure of this...or maybe I don't want this happen...

P.S.

Well Mystogans mission was to close up Anima, so if those who control the spell get destroyed, its end of his mission. And i guess Edolas will need a new king.

While I like the idea that Mystogan is royal blood, I ultimately think he'll stay in Earthland (aside from being one of my favorite characters) through dedication to Fairy Tail and perhaps Wendy as well.

Seeing how closing Anima goes against both the Kingdom and the Exceed's agenda to absorb magic, he doesn't seem to have any loyalties left in Edoras but that's only counting the characters revealed so far. He might be connected to the Edoras Erza as well.

mmmm... its a ramdon idea but maeby mashima is triying to low FT power? first he take out luxus and maeby now mistgun(?) well it sounds wayy to crazyy to be possible hahaha

Luxus hasn't really even been taken out. He took on two Dragon Slayer's at the same time and wiped the floor with them. And at the end plotki had to have Natsu prevail.

[Forsaken6]

well, FT has 3 dragonslayer(Natsu,Gazille e Wendy) and also
Gildarts,Makarov,Grey,Erza,Elfman,LLuvia,Lucy(Aquarius,Taurus,Cancer,Virgo,Sagittarius,Leo,Gemini,Aries,Scorpio)...so even without Mistgun it's really strong.

[LoS]

One of the funniest moments of the series is Gazille's hindsight. Back when FT invaded Phantom he felt FT was slighting/looking down on Phantom by not including Luxus, Mist Gun, and Gildartz in their fight.

Hell just one of the above could have taken out every single Phantom member while Makarov kept Jose busy.

No we aren't sure. The only connection Mystogan has to Edoras is that he's from a world other than Earthland, and he's been suppressing Anima. There's a good chance that he's from Edoras, but any connections beyond that is just speculation. We certainly don't have any knowledge of connections that would lead him to abandon Wendy, Earthland's Fairy Tail, and the life he's built for himself to return to a world he left 7 years and has fought against since then. Once his mission is over all it means to our knowledge is that he no longer has to fight. We can't say that he has to return home, because we don't yet know of any home he has other than EL Fairy Tail.
