Let's get ready to rumbleeeee!
Now, while you have that epic music in your head, let's just run into the review as we get the slayers of dragons fighting the ultimate dragon while everyone else does their best to stay relevant! And if we're lucky, they just might be because that plan is actually clever.

| Gajeel: Dad? Is that you!? |
 |
| WOAH! Gajeel, you can't call her a... oh "Runt". I totally misread that. I thought he said "Jeremy Hunt". That's a name nobody should be called. |

| Lucy x Acnologia confirmed! |
Opinion: I just realised who Acnologia is.
Acnologia is Kid Buu. A final monster who values nothing but destruction and chaos, battle and madness. All he wants is to destroy everything and everyone without restraint, and it will take the gathered spirit and power of everyone to defeat him. Personally, I think that is rather cool and Acnologia has definitely managed to gain some support from me ever since I saw his face. It gives him personality, which his giant dragon form was incapable of due to looking so monstrous. Admittedly, I would have liked to see more of a reason behind his love for destruction, but he's a villain. Villains don't need to always be deep. Sometimes, a love of death is enough. And in Acnologia's defence, he is proud to be nothing more than a monster. He wears it well.
You probably won't find a lot of reviews that say this, but I personally found the scene where they discuss how to battle A-D a much-needed one. I always enjoy seeing a scenario being broken down, with every possibility being considered. The final plan, to use Fairy Sphere, is very risky but much better than that fucking Timelapse disgrace ever could be. It has been shown in the past, ties into the "bonds of family" trope the series has been using since Day 1, and it actually sounds like it could work. The "One Magic", a magic of love, could be what fuels the Fairy Sphere (and Fairy Glitter and Fairy Heart) so maybe that is Acnologia's limit. We'll find out.

| Is Lyon... just chilling with a cup of coffee during a war?! |
Oh and let us always acknowledge whenever we see Gajeel acting like a big proud brother to Wendy. Always. He is her big brother!
Manga Rating: 4.5/5
Best Part: Lucy's plan.
Worst Part: No motivation for A-D.

| Kinda creepy to realise that every single character on this cover is dead, isn't it? Wait.... except Franmalth. DAMN IT! |

If you dare to discover more about someone as great as him, then go ahead. And to all my friends and family members, YOU are wrong and I should be disappointed! Not the other way round!,. You can find out about him or ask him stuff on ask.fm/shigginsishere or go to his tumblr page http://otakugajeel.tumblr.com/
This chapter was definetly good! I actually like Lucy's plan a lot - it makes sense in the Fairy Tail world, and is actually really smart. Granted, I'm still not sure if it will work or not, considering Acnologia can eat through space and time now :/
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it just me, or does it feel that Hiro thought of the Fairy Sphere plan beforehand, and included the timelapse on a whim so he can keep Acno at bay. Because really, Lucy's plan is great!
Glad to see Acno being a badass! And I agree, I as well started liking him a lot more when I saw his human form. Personally, I'm a HUGE fan of dragons, but while I like Acno's Dragon Design, his Human Form is way too epic and badass. Kinda sad that he doesn't have a real reason, but as you said, at least it fits.
The true thing I'm scared of right now is that we have 4 chapters remaining. Which is way to little!! Even if Hiro gives only 1 chapter for the epilogue(which is too small), we will only have 3 chapters of the fight remaining(which is also too small)!
So I really don't know how Hiro can finish this manga on a good note. If he does more pages on the final chapters, then maybe it could somehow work out(still is rushed), but otherwise... I have a bad feeling about it.
Lucy's plan feels very appropriate in just about every way. It fits with the logic of the world and I didn't think of it myself. It doesn't need to work for too long, just long enough for the Slayers to slay.
DeleteI'm waiting to see how this goes before I react. The final chapter is always the longest but I saw Naruto manage to scrap out a satisfying ending despite so few chapters and Bleach manage to destroy itself with so many chapters. I wouldn't expect an amazing ending though, but a satisfying one is still in the cards.
Well, I truly hope that's gonna happen. How many pages did the last chapter of Naruto have?
DeleteNaruto's final chapter was actually only 16 pages. I guess I was mistake with that one.
DeleteBleach's final chapter was 19 pages.
Nisekoi's final chapter was 24 pages.
So really, the likelihood of the final chapter being a larger than normal one is unlikely but as I now come to realise, it isn't the size that matters. It's how it is used. Some do it better than others, but we'll find out soon.
Well, I sure hope so. I guess we'll have to see.
DeleteSince they indicated early on that when Zeref dies Natsu would too that means that all other Etherious die too. Since Natsu is no longer tied to Zeref that means Franmalth has died. SO YAY just a pity it happened off screen.
ReplyDelete.....I can't tell if I am euphoric or enraged. Well done!
DeleteHonestly, was Acnologia ever deep? He was always the "destruction" side of the two villains, with Zeref providing the depth. I was never warm to him as a character, but I do like him as a sexy force to fight. As for the movie, I can't comment. I have yet to see it.
ReplyDeleteProbably the same reason you or I didn't think of it. We forgot or hadn't figured it out. It has been at least a few years since that event happened and a lot has happened since then. I personally completely forgot it haha.
We've seen Acnologia suffer from motion sickness before, so maybe the fact he has both a human and a dragon form is the reason. Igneel didn't ever get motion sickness but that might be because he has no human form. Best guess I can make here.
Lucy wrote in the book of E.N.D to change Natsu's fate. So far, its a disappointing resolution but that's the only answer we've got. Disappointing though, unless something happens here.
This arc is confusing counting very demon Zeref has made it has had the most deaths within the series while having the most fake outs. I dont care for depth at this point I just want the hype.
