Fairy Tail 291 Discussion/ 292 Predictions

[Ninja_Pirate]

Mashiima has shown in this chapter the brutality from sabertooth to FT so that "hate" for saber tooth can be build up////

We as the readers are seeing it and developing hate for sure towards ST as FT is the hero guild in our eyes and Mashima also has the same intention to show such thing in the chapter... But what i liked is the crowd is cheering up for ST and in people's eyes ST is the hero guild.. they are the one around for last seven years... and for FT it is "out of sight out of mind"

For example when we see WWE.. even when a weak opponent comes against Brock lesnar or bigshow or undertaker and get brutally beaten and lost .. even when the opponent is down we viewers or the cheering crowd want them to deliver their finishing move on the immovable opponent/...

[Schabrak]

Only that WWE is fake wrestling and everybody is an actor. It's not real, this was very much "real".

[RaveDragon]

"All thoughts unite"
makes me think we're gonna get st vs fta right off the bat or maybe we're gonna get some highlight of the underplot

Guys, lets try to stick with discussing Fairy Tail the series and leave any other form of entertainment or series out of the thread.

If allowed to continue, the thread would spiral into a completely different discussion about things that have nothing to do with Fairy Tail.

I get that sometimes analogies need to be made it get your point across... but try not to make your entire post hinge on that alone.

Side note, guys lets cool it off on arguing with each other over how the events were perceived between Minerva vs. Lucy. Given, its fine to state your view and opinion about it, but sometimes you need to " agree to disagree" and leave it at that.

Thanks!

Well, I think Lucy is kinda faking so she can get her hands on the keys. I think the fight is not over yet. It would be a shame since Lucy didn't really spend much magic there.

[Kuzumikun]

WOW! Such a hard chapter to read... What I didn't like was Lucy being tortured again! But i agree with everyone saying it's good character development for her. It just hurts me to see my favorite character get beated to a pulp. I think Minerva shouldn't get any points! First she uses her own magic to bring Lucy back. Second she tortured Lucy! GAH if Lucy doesn't gain any points that is freakin BS! GAH!

Okay, after I got used to the chapter and the fight between Minerva and Lucy, I have to admit that Mashima actually successfully trolled me as I tried not to judge Minerva by her appearance. So, I really saw her only as proud, almost arrogant but still being a strong character you have to be careful of - but I didn't want her to see as an ugly bitch. But now she follows the line of Angel, Karen, Flare etc.

And the guild members' behaviour as they looked down on Lucy quite falls back on the whole Sabertooth guild. The only one who stood out of this was Rogue. And I think he'll leave Sabertooth at some point of this arc. (Maybe on the last day, so ST can't continue with only four team members?)

But even then: Minerva needs to be returned some justice - and I really hope that Mashima isn't going to be wasting Elsa on her but this time Juvia or Mirajane.

What I'm also curious about: Why the hell did Aquarius leave the battle field? That "funny" twist led into Lucy losing her keys, and we'll likely never know if Lucy had a chance by summoning Leo or Capricorn. So I wonder what she's got to say to Lucy after all, even if Lucy's going to forgive her anyways. I know Aquarius is not quite reliable, but I'm really disappointed by Aquarius at this point.

BTW: Mangateers forgot to mention Jenny was replacing Eve, and Mangastreem misinterpreted "Eve" to be Jenny's family name...

[RaveDragon]

I can see Lucy's spirits coming out with their magic to see her now maybe aquarius will have something to say who knows, we have to see the aftermath of this next week so maybe we'll just see the start of the battles...

Mangastream has a different translation for the next chapter's title: "All Thoughts Unite".

"Omoi o hitotsu ni", "in single mind/sentiment/heart".
All of Fairy Tail together against Sabertooth. Not that they aren't united by comradery to begin with.

The more I try to think what will be in next chapter, the more I realise how wrong most predictions are. If they weren't, it would be boring indeed.

Oh, and Minerva is the Roman equivalent of Athena, you know, the one that sprang from Zeus' forehead. According to Wikipedia: the virgin goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, crafts, magic. Probably chosen for the last.

Oh, sorry about that. What I meant was that the translation is different compared to Mangateers' version "I am only thinking of one".

And yup, I am well aware of Minerva the goddess. What I was looking for was the meaning of the name, which in theory could have something to do with a character's magical power.

[Narosian]

The mangateers version actually says "I am only thinking of one thing" but the last word is half off the bottom of the page.

i think bitchinerva's powers is similar to libra lucy mentions feeling heavy like lead she could made the water move faster than usual to create heat. could be the reason why makino was used to take her place whaile she was in mission coz libras powers is similar to minervatch.
damm a few reads im still not fine with the whole situation arrr.

part of my hopes that lucy suddenly holds minervas hand and do a lucy kick on her face then pass out out side the ring that would make my day

[Manta33]

I am not too sure but have we ever seen Lucy's spirits come out on their own when she doesn't have her keys? I think maybe the reason they couldn't help her is because she lost them. Otherwise they could have appeared without her asking. Not sure if that's true or not though...

^^For some reason I don't think Lucy is going to turn this around. The fight has already been stopped. i think this is the beginning of the real trouble for Lucy. I could easily see Iwan kidnapping her with his illusion magic in the future while she is incapacitated. But then again I could see her stealing her keys back and we will get a moment, if I am right about my above statement, where her spirits will all come out and unite in there feelings about Minerva...

[kkck]

My impression about minerva's power is that it has something to do with controlling and manipulating the area within her magic in any way she wants. Basically my crackpot theory is that she creates dimensions whose properties she can manipulate. Creating and hitting with a hot or heavy dimension would explain what we saw. A dimension or space would perhaps explain how she blocked natsu's magic and how she keeps teleporting things around her (she used her magic to make happy magically appear).

[Buggy]

^Her magic better have some good explanation and limitations or, I dare say, it would be the most hax magic ever. She can apparently teleport whatever she wants, including people, whenever and wherever she likes. She doesn't even have to create seals, make contact or anything else.
