"Thank you, Spirit King. Thank you too, Aquarius. Thank you for everything..."

- Lucy upon receiving Aquarius' power

Welcome to the Chapter Review Corner



Every time I walk through that door...it feels like the first time. To those new to the blog, welcome, to my continued readership, all I have to say is thanks. SARA, how's it looking?



All systems are up and running TOM; are you ready?

Really sorry for the delay everyone; sickness and work held me up but I can finally review now; thankfully, the majority of this chapter was fighting, so let's get right into it because this actually was a decent chapter.

As it was implied in the previous chapter, Marde Guille (Merd Geere, I dunno, I'M GOING WITH MARGE GUILLE) and the Spirit King know each other and have apparently been in conflict for a long time. The Spirit King is understandably upset that Lucy has been reduced to tears after sacrificing her first friend to save everyone. Actually, fuck upset. He's furious.

|Fairy Tail hasn't been this epic in a LONG time

And from here on out it's just destruction. This is almost a fight you'd see in Dragon Ball, not Fairy Tail, and maybe that's why I enjoyed seeing it. Every MOVEMENT the Spirit King takes is more akin to divine judgement than anything else; just swinging his sword destroys half the bloody countryside. WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT, KAGURA!? Cataclysm my ass. THIS IS WHY YER DEAD IN DAWN!

No seriously, she is.

Anyway, Marde Guille has a pretty awesome curse. From the looks of it, he manipulates plants. Wait...a calm, collected demon, who is bishie, cruel, and manipulates plant-life?



Oh...my...various...gods...

Marde Guille is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. In the recent chapters, he's screwed up all of Fairy Tail, he's going Mano y Mano with the CELESTIAL SPIRIT KING, and he's pretty much YŌKO KURAMA WITH A DYE JOB!

It's sad that this will all probably be glossed over in a chapter or two

While the ENTIRE WORLD IS GETTING RIPPED ASUNDER OVER IN THE LEFT HAND CORNER, Lucy is still bawling her eyes out. Jackal is disturbed by the Battle of Gods going off in the distance, and believes it's something Lucy's doing. Because crying is totally going to cause God-like explosions. So he tries to kill her. But the Spirit King is having none of that; he gives Lucy Aquarius' power. Yes, you heard right, I was wrong as all get out. Instead of repairing the key, he gifts Lucy with Aquarius' magic, and it is....hot.

It seems her tits got a power boost as well!

Now this is something that took me by surprise. Given Hiro's Natsu, Erza, and general Dragon Slayer fetish, I'm quite surprised he's giving else a chance to actually do anything but the impossible has happened; he's GIVEN LUCY A POWER-UP! What I can't help but find funny is this is more or less a Celestial Cross Fuse. HIRO HAS BEEN READING PER'S WORK!! Either that or Ahatake's page. Even then the former still applies. With this new power, Lucy deflects every explosion that Jackal uses (the guy can't even destroy a cat, why are we worried? I'm sorry, but I am just not going to let that go.) Lucy then unleashes her signature finishing move: Urano Metria!

I'm certainly seeing twin moons

Score
Fairy Tail always has awesome art, and this chapter took that and RAN with it. 10/10 for the epic art in this battle, in addition to the Lucy fanservice. There wasn't really any story so 1/10. The fight on the other hand was absolutely fantastic. Wanton destruction, epic exchange of blows, and Marde Guille proving himself to be a BADASS! 10/10. Overall, this was a Very Good chapter, despite not moving along with the plot at all.



Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it should be back next week with Fairy Tail 386 - Galaxia Blade. You can bet I'll be right here to bring everyone the details as they come on in!
