User blog:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 314 - In Which OMGWTF NO THIS CANNOT BE!!!! (Erza vs Kagura)

"We were destitute, and without worldly possessions, but content nonetheless. The child hunt 15 years ago, however, brought those times to a violent end. I managed to escape, and since then I spent my every waking moment looking for him. Then I had a fortuitous encounter with Miliana...and she told me about his death. How he toiled away as a slave under Jellal for years...only to be murdered by him. Since that revelation, my vision has been shrouded by a cloud of darkness. That day...I swore to avenge my brother, and drown my blade in Jellal's blood."

- Kagura Mikazuchi to Erza Scarlet

Welcome to the Chapter Review Corner



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

Oh damn, this chapter. Oh damn, this chapter. Yes Zico, profanity, you can gasp now, because, ''damn! This! Chapter! Let's get right into this, and, La Princesa Ziki'', I'm so, so sorry.

So, Jellal (Mangastream, why are you using "Gerard" again? It's JELLAL!!! Damn, I need to bitchsmack the translators. Either way, Jellal says something feels off about this entire situation, and that they cannot accept what Future!Lucy said so easily...Jellal, did you take some stupid this morning? Were those chili peppers Ul made Meredy eat that you felt laced with stupid? Someone you know comes from the future, saying "Get your shit in gear, this country is about to be destroyed" and you choose to do....nothing? Start evacuating people dammit! Ul can use transform magic, take on different forms so no one knows it's you lot and get people outta there. Erza and Kagura resume their battle, and right from the start, Kagura is forcing Erza back.

Did you all not expect me to use this one?

Kagura is absolutely strong, there is no doubt about that. Erza is switching through armors, various powerful armors to fight and Kagura is trumping each and everyone of them. Even the Adamantine Armor. Adamantine is often likened to diamond, which is like the hardest thing on the friggin' planet.

Did I mention her sword is unsheathed?

Erza, thoroughly beat down, asks Kagura if her power is fueled by her hatred for Jellal...and that gets her a kick to the gut. It's 'funny'. When Jellal is mentioned to Erza, she is more than happy to paint a target on her body. When Jellal is mentioned to Kagura...ye gods, she enters terminator mode. Erza however, tells Kagura to leave Miliana out of it...and...well...that just earns her this:

Dammit Erza, stop talking!!! Ye deities, Kagura hates you anyway, talking is going to get you killed!!! But then, and plot fucking twist here I....really did not see this coming...

I doubt any of us can say we saw it coming. We of us can go "Oh, this finally makes sense now", but we can't say we saw it coming. However, Erza tells Kagura that it wasn't Jellal's fault Simon died, it was hers. Erza, it was not your damn fault. Last I checked, he died to protect you. So....wow, this is just so messed up, he died to protect you, you're BLAMING yourself, and, wait for it.

Well....just...damn....ladies and gentlemen, I think she's dead. And what's worse, Jellal just STOOD THERE and I'm PRETTY SURE HE COULD SEE ALL THIS GOING ON! So...no cookie, no cookie.

Poll
What do you think happened? Kagura killed Erza. Look at the mortified looks on everyone's faces and the blood, she's dead as mud. Erza retaliated and killed Kagura. Would also explain the shocked looks. Archenemy was uncontrollable when it was unsheathed, and backfired and killed Kagura, it's own master. Once again, this would explain the shock on everyone's face, the pool of blood, etc. I can't decide.

Score
Fairy Tai;'s art is always good, the scenery is excellent, but Hiro went through several armors in this chapter as well was various lighting effects and other magics, and they were all drawn excellently, so, 10/10. The story....we're moving along, we are moving along, Kagura was Simon's brother, there is shit going on with this Future!Lucy, Hiro actually REMEMBERS PAST EVENTS FROM HIS MANGA SERIES (Hell, I barely remember any of early Fairy Tail), and ERZA MIGHT BE DEAD! 9/10, however, because the chapter was more focused on the battle than story progression. The fight, however, it was epic, Erza and Kagura went full force, Erza switched through several armors but she was soundly beaten. THIS is how action girls should fight, why can Kubo and Kishimoto not grasp this!? 10/10. Overall, this chapter was excellent, the suspsense for the next chapter is great, I cannot WAIT for more. Well done Hiro.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but I it'll be back next week with Fairy Tail 315 - Rosemary. Anyway, comment as you please, I enjoy them, go wild, I don't care if you keep it clean.
