The Sad Thing is that I really have nothing to say about this Chapter. The pacing of the action, the artwork and the creativity behind most of this was stellar as one you'd expect of Hiro. Unfortunately the last two chapters are PREACHY AF about the SAME DAMNED MESSAGE that's been repeated OVER and OVER in this series which is ultimately why it feels like a lackluster story. To break it down, here's the simplicity of it all.

Bad Guy Treats People Badly. Heroes Fight Bad Guys. Bad Guys Treats Their Own People Badly. Heroes Get Pissed Off. Bad Guys Justify Their Actions With StereoTypical Grade 1 BS. Heroes Preach THE FUCK Out Of Their Enemies And Win By The Power Of Friendship.

The Formula hasn't changed AT ALL. While in the past I do genuinely believe Fairy Tail had great moments of storywriting, characters and drama, the fact nothing has changed is the series' biggest crime. I wish Hiro would hop off the Fairy Turd Wagon and wake up to reality. Just because you get stronger doesn't mean no one you trust will be sacrificed or be harmed in any given way. I DO appreciate him bringing up Igneel as a way of mentioning motivation for why Natsu is fighting harder but it doesn't justify him still being a brat, still whining about wanting to get his way, still preaching a message so overused you'd think Naruto's "Talk no Jutsu" is subdued, and still OP since his day one appearance without any reasonable show of growth or development.

While I won't just drop the series, I can totally understand why you'd want to Fire and I respect that. The only reason I won't is that I can see the ending. And when it ends, I can give a proper review and give the harsh truth to those who are adamant fans and look them in the eyes and say, "You Were All Fuckin' Morons To Like Hiro's Preachy Shit," and leave it at that. End of story
