Fairy Tail 100 Year Quest Chapter 46 Review - White Will

Written by Shiggins

2020 begins with a bang.

As we all struggle to write down 2020 instead of 2019, which I did as I wrote this very sentence, let us all make a resolution to keep reading this manga series and hope I get the Gajeel-Levy-daughter spinoff I always deserved. Oh and let's talk about the new chapter, because these Diabolos guys are really keeping things fun.

I'd like to put this in for the first 2020 meme.

Natsu and Touka/White Wizard glare at each other for a page, before Whitey activates his magic to put the Dragon Slayer under her control. She gives Natsu the talk again about how she will destroy all magic that's too powerful, then smacks Happy away. Natsu is annoyed by her hitting Happy of course and brings up how she's in a cat herself, and we get a potential hint at something cat-related about the White Wizard before Happy throws the orb at her.

Not only does Happy clearly have a damn good throwing arm, but the orb has a strange reaction to WW and causes her to grow some crystal-wood all over her body. Why? Well, we don't know the details but as the cat saves the slayer, Happy does bring up that she had mentioned she couldn't destroy the orbs before, so this isn't totally out of the blue.

Holy shit, how strong is Happy?!
As Happy remembers Touka's last words, vowing to save her, and WW gets her scary face on, we move to the Right Hand City where Elfman and Mirajane are still struggling to win against Skullion and Madmole. Skullion, knowing he can't win either, decides to retreat for now and vows revenge. Gray, seeing the siblings are weakened, knows this is their best opportunity to beat and capture them.

Back in the broken church, the hungry Kiria is about to consume Laxus when she's given the message by Skullion to leave him alone. Skullion decides now is a good time to reveal that since Laxus is full of WW's magic, then eating him would put Kiria under her spell too. Kiria says she wants to meet Laxus again someday (this ship is in my port!) and leaves.

Don't you still have a lesbian demon inside you? Feel like that would give you an advantage. I can't think of any scenario a demon lesbian can't help with.
Skullion talks to Madmole about how they have no other choice but to summon Diabolos' strongest force, the Black Dragon Slayer Calvary, and by god they better have good poses. And this brings us to the last surviving member of Diabolos, Nebal, who is refusing to follow Skullion's order because he wants to eat Wendy. Wendy activates her Dragon Force, and Nebal decides to use his own unique 5th Gen version of Dragon Force...

Opinion: So... it's a giant spider, isn't it?

It's always a damn giant spider! Every fantasy game has giant spiders! Every fantasy story has giant spiders! WELL GUESS WHAT! SPIDERS ARE SCARY! And here he comes, about to transform into a terrifying spider monster, because of "fun" reasons. Why can't it ever be butterflies? Butterflies are scary too, but I'm not arachnophobic so it's better for me! Damn you, giant spiders!

So who else is excited for the "Black Dragon Slayer Cavalry"? Arguably one of the best ways to add more fuel to your fire in a shonen is by introducing a new group of colourful villains, so let's see where Fairy Tail is going here. I'm a guy who loves his villainous groups, and while I'm not expecting anything of the Phantom Troupe's or Ginyu Force's level, I'm always giddy for more team battles.

Damn shonens and their cockblocking. Just let me watch one couple grow TOGETHER!
Now, why did White Wizard explode like that just by touching the orb? My money is on Touka being a dragon of her own, maybe even one of the Gods, although hopefully the moon one because... Look, I just want the characters to go to space. That's fun. And perhaps the Gods repel each other? I'm just spitting out ideas.

Lastly, I'm wondering how much longer we've got until the leader of Skullion, Georg Reisen. Remember him? He's the big scary bastard we haven't seen in so long, who first appeared in chapter 23. Maybe he'll be the one to punish Skullion after failing in this arc, if he does fail, but I was just surprised he's been around so little. Diabolos is certainly proving to be a fun guild so far, and let's hope the series keeps building on them.

Manga Rating: 4/5

Best Part: More Diabolos reveals.

Worst Part: More questions than answers. Or an upcoming giant scary spider.

I'm getting Dressrosa Arc flashbacks.
