Sorry about that FTZ. I didn't mean to forget you. I just get bored because you're a prequel and other than a few exceptions, I find prequels unnecessary and bullshit. As all of you readers know, I don't really care hugely about this Zero series anymore because I know the outcome of it all. However, this is one of those times where I'm far warmer because, although predictable, it was well-written enough to provide some entertainment. And it also answered the BIG question these 11 chapters have had looming over it's head since it began.
"I like watching you sleep, Yuriy." |
Wait, have I been reading an Evangeline prequel this whole time? |
Wow. That's so close to a love confession, it's amazing. |
Well he's very... liberal. |
Opinion: And THAT is how you make a prequel interesting again!
What makes good prequels interesting isn't the result of events that we already know about, but how characters develop from what they once were into the version we see them become in the main series. The Star Wars prequels' best moments involved the development of Obi-Wan Kenobi or the transition Anakin Skywalker goes through to become Darth Vadar. This chapter showed us development for Yuriy and Mavis, which is why I read this series.
That character development just hit Mavis like a ton of bricks! |
Speaking of not aging, anybody notice this makes her the same as Zeref now? Both don't age, and although she doesn't have the Death Magic, she still might know more about him and what he's having to go through in his life.
Zeira, why are you smiling like you already knew that? In the last chapter, you clearly tried to talk to Precht... |
Manga Rating: 4/5
Character of the Week: Yuriy for being surprisingly sweet, and revealing the shocking truth.
Predictions: A tragic goodbye as Mavis must accept the horrific truth. Then a "miracle", which might be a real fairy.
Best Part: Zeira is finally revealed!
Worst Part: As much as I'd love to focus on this and Zeref, Blue Skull leader is still out there...
At least she isn't flaunting her ass in my face this time. |
Shiggins enjoys many strange forms of communication, especially those including cosplayers or presents or videos. However, until that wonderful day comes when people care enough to give him things for being him, you can contact him on his Skype; shigginsishere. You can find out about him or ask him stuff on ask.fm/shigginsishere or go to his tumblr page http://otakugajeel.tumblr.com/.
I think Zeira really died in that one scene and Mavis was in denial or something and created illusion-Zeira. The young Zeira that bullied Mavis couldn't have been an illusion, atleast not Mavis'. But that's kinda wierd, so I'm going with my previous statement,
ReplyDeleteMy theory: Mavis is still alive? I mean her body doesn't age and her spirit's still walking around. Maybe she will come back sometime
