Fairy Tail 271 Discussion

Loved every bit of the chapter, thats how stellar spirit magic is supposed to be like. That second magic container made a huge difference to say the least, even angel didn't seem to be even close to what lucy is doing now. I didn't quite expect her stellar spirit magic to be capable of combining in such a form. I always thought summoning 2 golden key spirits would be something exceptional to watch however seeing them collaborate in such a manner was a surprise. I had conceived the idea of lucy summoning stellar spirits as weapons (say caellum for taurus or something) but this is quite better. Even when lucy could summon only 1 spirit at a time she was still one of the more versatile members of the gang simply because she had access to more magic types than the rest (1 type of magic for each spirit) however now that she is able to actually work in such a fashion her versatility is limitless. As long as she keeps her second magic container she is gonna pull new magic spells out of her ass on a regular basis. I am still waiting for her to do some other stuff though. Since her spirits user her magic I still expect she at some point will use actual spells to boost her spirits and at some point actually have a set of weapons to boost each stellar spirit.

I do wonder what other combinations are possible at this stage though. Unfortunately we don't know what exactly is it that caprico does however we should be able to speculate on other spirits. Aquarius and loki should work well in tandem with other spirits should they choose too. Still, aquarius is mostly very uncooperative lol. I wonder how lucy would fare when summoning aquarius now though. Since lucy is stronger then aquarius should be too. In this regard, perhaps aquarius attacks will be a tad more dangerous to her than before.

can you say boring. how many times do you have to remind us that the "red" attached to your name is to coincide with your hair color, which so happens to be your form of magic, magic which I find pretty lame.

a holy knight, meh, nothing amazing there. he's got an average design.

that being said, like others said it is good to see that lucy can finally do something for once and isn't doing well due to bullcrap powerups or sheer blind luck. she's actually got decent strategy. thankfully lucy made up for the corona girl being a bore, her lame magic and irritating forced psycho attitude/facial expressions.

regular vote for me

If you noticed she also goes out of her way to remind Blondie of how much she's a blonde. It's just how her character is, she's kinda psychotic and prideful over the color of her hair and seems to have something against the inferiority of "blond" hair. <_< I wouldn't be surprised if there was a backstory that depicted her as being picked on by a bunch of blondes cause she was the only redhead which caused her magical powers to manifest over the pride of her hair lol.

With that said though it will bother me if she ends up giving up cause of the whole "hostage taken in the middle of a battle scenario". Perhaps it would make sense if there was no one there to protect Asuka, but she has the whole fricking Fairy Tail guild by her side and the 1st and 3/5th lol. You would also think that the committee would pick up on it and disqualify her for using outside means in a battle. But of course that it based on the name of the next chapter, hopefully that isn't the case but if she forfeits over this whole hostage deal I'll say that would be poor writing since the scenario isn't set up for said hostage to be in a serious threat when there are people around her that should notice red hair creeping up on her lol.

Nice chapter, almost forgot it was lucy for a second. I'm guessing she's saving Leo and Capricorn for later in the event since this is just the first round. Just disappointed it has to come to playing dirty.

I wouldn't put it on chapter name to mean a thing. Fairy Tail chapter name have been VERY deceiving several time in the past. Such as when Erza/Markarov is about to "died" for an example.

I like the chapter. i actually kind of doubt "hostage" is against the rule, considering how shady this tournament. I didn't see any part of the rule of the battle that go against. it.

[Aikidoka]

Voted "Boring" because of my disappointment with Flare's magic, but I may have been too hasty in my judgment. The chapter did after all contain a long-awaited power-up for Lucy.

[Raicrune]

Great chapter! What a performance Lucy did a good job with combining the spirits.I tought Cancer spirit would be perfect counter and make Flare bald and finsih her off or something but i'm okay with this too. Seems like Lucy's is gonna lose cuz of the title Noble Loser but i hope this is a troll. Raven tail is interfering too much doing unfair things now. Lucy should start with kickin them back.

So whats with the Holy knight.. it looks like he's the evil thing jellal is looking for. And he's got an armor suit with a sword as well.. looks like he will be fighting Erza.

[masgrande]

The chapter and fight were really awesome, finally Lucy is kicking a good amount of @$$. It really excite me that Zeref might be evil again, I really want to see him at the top of his game.

[Gats]

Lucy lacks of cunning sometimes, I would have been her, I would just have pretended to not being able to see Flare's dirty trick and finish her as fast as possible.

Anyway good chapter, even if I expected a bit more from flare.

[garcon]

pretty cool chapter thanks to lucy fighting well by herself (was about time):

I liked :

-Taurus wasn't "funny", I mean he didn't go "Whoa, redhead boobies, nice" before getting knock out. This time he directly go for the killing blow (it failed but still, I liked it)
-Scorpio looked powerfull (it surprised me because I find him lame)
-combination of stellar spirits attacks, how awesome is that ? now you imagine all the possibilities and a combo from all of them at once called "stellar judgement" kicking some asses
- Lucy able to fight without stellar spirits thanks to her whip (kind of)

I disliked :

-the redhead girl's magic, she whips her hair back or forth, cool for her, hope she won't get sued by willow...
- the goofy master makarov, he has always been kind of goofy but come on, "what the aim of raven tail" "making fun of us of course!!!" yeah of course, the son you bannished and his psychotics mages just want to humiliate you, they are not dangerous at all, that's why you use Gazeel as a spy...
-the hostage situation, come on, Lucy looks badass for once, my wish has become true and now she has to restrain herself from winning ?! the little girl is useless, lucy just has to use gemini and their parents won't even notice she is gone

- and the last, I already said it but I will say it again:
natsu: "show them the result of our training"... they DIDN'T train ! they grow stronger thanks to random magic, maybe I'm a bit harsh on this but come on, I don't really care about how they grow stronger (well at least I say so) but they could at least have some respect for those who really trained themselves instead of partying with stellar spirits.

I didn't give a damn fuck :

-the last dude



have a nice day people

Good chapter , nice job Lucy . She did quite well with 3 simultaneous spirits summoned , this shows the training with Jellal's help wasn't for nothing .

From the title of the next chapter i 'm thinking Lucy will lose on purpose ? I don't really wanna see that .
Didn't think that messed up girl will result to such dirty tricks , i was sure she would be a pain in the ass 'cause she was strong but that totally pisses me of . It would be good if someone from FT , i don't know maybe Mavis, finds that hair and Lucy won't have to give up though the title doesn't sound promising Hate that stupid woman

Lucy shouldn't have any problems with Aquarius, as long as she summons scorpio along with her: she would never hurt her beloved lol.

In this situation, Lucy might be able to summon Virgo and have her either stop the hair or go to the other side and protect Azuka.

Also, I just noticed how Jura was somewhat annoyed by his lack of hair and Flare's usage of it.

[exacta]

Flare's hair magic is okay I guess, it fits her character. At least shes not a Stellar Spirit user. That guy from Trinity Raven already had special hair though....

I'm annoyed that they keep calling the powerup they got from Urtear as training. They did not train....they got a power up. At best they had a few days of training.
Don't really care for Arcadias, he looks like a goofy villain. His words are interesting though, although Zeref being connected to this is predictable. Good chapter.

[liductan]

Nice chapter, Lucy was serious for once, I don't care about arcadias....
Just like I thought,these battles are becoming personal..
It has begun..this is how I want it to be ...

[fizban]

There is more to Flare's magic than just hair. Look at how her hair was able to eat through Lucy's boots after grabbing them for only a moment. It either has some fire element to it as well, or has some sort of corrosive acid. Either is the real threat to Lucy, and most likely the reason why she would drop out of the match next week. She knows exactly what will happen if that hair wraps around the bare skin of our littlest Fairy.

When Flare started using her hair I instantly thought "SUMMON THE GIANT ENEMY CRAB". Good for Lucy for bringing out that killer hairdresser.

I really hope Lucy doesn't drop out of the match next week. There is an entire guild of people who can help that little girl sitting right there. Surely one of them would notice she is being strangled if it came to that. It wouldn't be the end of the world if Lucy let the 20+ competent mages handle a strand of hair.

[shuha27]

I swear I've been waiting for Lucy to fight like this! She was amazing and kicked ass. I really hope she does end up winning, there are so much other fairy tail members near Bisca's daughter. They better notice that Flare is trying to threaten Lucy -___-

For some reason I thought Arcadias was talking about Lucy being the "matured fruit" but I really doubt it. It is probably the weird magical energy Jellel felt. Can't wait for next chapter, this arc is going well so far.
