User blog:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 306 - In Which Gray Is Badass (Gray vs Rufus)

Welcome to the Chapter Review Corner "Ever since I've had the mark of Fairy Tail on me, I've never lost to the same opponent twice."

- Gray Fullbuster



Hey guys! Fairy Tail is out today, which means another blog for today. To those new to my blogs, welcome. To my continued readership, all I have to say is thanks. It's time to push the button

As you can see, Wendy is now my mascot for everything. Anyway, it's odd to be doing a review while the new background should be gone and the others should be being implemented, but I have Ziki working on that because "WTF, he can probably do it better". So, first of all, I hope all of you guys had a great Halloween yesterday, but welcome to the first of November...or maybe it's the second for people in different time zones, I don't know.

Anyway, so, Gray is fighting Rufus...purely because he's got a gripe with the guy. That's pretty much his entire reasoning.

GraLu fans, you won't get another moment like that, enjoy it.

And that random, out of place GraLu moment for the nutty GraLu fans who think that pairing would magically work. Up yours, all of you. So, Gray begins to show us that, even if he has no personality, he really has boss fighting skills. However, with every spell that Gray pulls off, Rufus simply memorizes it, and then shows something that officially puts Memory Make on my list of favorite skills: RUFUS USED FREEZE SHOCK! A CRITICAL HIT!

With that, Rufus is basically Black Kyurem. This is why I love to use Alaskiel. With Memory-Make, I can asspull any magic, from anywhere, and just say "Oh, he memorized it in the past". If you want variety, Memory-Make is the way to go...but, I have to gauge y'alls powers, so...I'll be watching you. Memory-Make can even make spells be "forgotten", which will negate the original user from their use as well. It's so deliciously overpowered, Per might want to be put a ban on it.

Then, Gray just shows that he gets stronger the less clothing he wears, and removes the awesome top he had on. Naturally, Juvia gets excited from this. Gray then releases what I assume is his ultimate technique, Ice-Make Unlimited: One-Sided Chaotic Dance. GTFO! Even when Rufus tries to melt the flames, Gray just barrels through, stating he's memorized stronger flames. The flames of a dragon, no doubt. He then finishes Rufus with ICE BRINGER, and, to top it all off: He makes that hat look good.

Score
Thanks to Eevee, my "Overall Chapter" ratings now go from "Bad, Good, and Awesome", because my math is apparently off. So...the art, I'mma give it a ten. The story didn't progress much outside of an additional Fairy Tail victory, but an eight. The fight? Oh good Noire...the fight was awesome, Gray showed that he can be boss, so, 10. All in all, I rank the chapter as "AWESOME".

Poll
What did you think of the chapter overall? It was epic, it showed that Gray is worth his Fairy Tail crest and we need to see more of him. It was a letdown, Rufus was built up to be strong, but he fell to Gray, when he should have had much more magic in his arsenal. I'm a bit of both.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it'll be back next week in Fairy Tail 307 - The Legion of Hungry Wolves. Go wild, and I don't care if you keep it clean. In terms of the recent background voting, the voting there is now CLOSED. Option 4 won out and will be implemented ASAP, and we will swap between options every month, barring holidays. THANK YOU ALL.
