"My name is Macbeth. And I choose to destroy all that lies between me and my freedom."

- Midnight to Jellal



Welcome to the Chapter Review Corner



The chapter has been released, and that means it's time to blog. To those new to my blog, welcome. To my continued readership, all I have to say is, thanks. SARA, how's it looking?



It took a minute, but we have achieved 100% asskicking.

Well, I hope everyone had a safe holiday, and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL THE USERBASE OUT THERE! So, out of utter boredome (and the fact that the poll I did won out on everyone wanting a review for this chapter), I have decided to review the chapter, Fairy In The Jail. Before I do....can we all just agree the only good thing about this chapter was epic Jellal and naked Erza? We all know Natsu is gonna save at least Erza, if not both Erza and Mira, within the span of a chapter or two after this. It's how Hiro works, and I will be legitly surprised if I am wrong. Heck, if Natsu actually gets his ass kicked and has to flee, I will publicly announce the fact that I was wrong in a follow-up blog. But we all know it's how Hiro works. So, without further ado (and because I have multiple Pokémon to train), let's begin!



Assuming I've been correctly informed, this is announcing the return of the Fairy Tail anime in April I believe. Honestly, I hope it comes back under a new animation studio. Say, one that can properly animate flames. Because seriously, I don't think what Natsu uses looks like fire. Whether or not Per and I will review those eps remains to be seen, since she, Hana, and I haven't continued our review of the filler episodes due to just being way too busy. Now, back at the plot:

The real question is actually why it took someone so long to attempt to drug them in the first place.

Natsu discovers Erza and Mira have been drugged by Crawford (Hiro, why waste such an epic name on a potential rapist? ....then again, the only other Crawford I've seen in a manga was Pegasus...), and Natsu flies into a rage, destroying Crawford's house with his sheer magical pressure. He then declares "Never underestimate a Dragon's nose!"...and that took an entire page, I kid you not. Meanwhile, Erza finally wakes up, chained in the Tartaros basement: This is what happens when you give me an ecchi chapter and access to Photoshop

Erza, as it happens, is bound up by Kyouka, with these weird cuffs that prevent magic -cough-RedLacrima-cough- so she can't fight back. Erza asks where Mira is, and Kyouka says they are modifying her body to turn her into a demon. I totally called this, but again, refer to Natsu above. Kyouka has only one question for Erza, one simple, simple question: "Where is Jellal?"

He's right here!

Jellal, if we all remember from last time, has a bit of business with the Oración Seis, or, as I am going to call them soon, his "bitch squad". He outright challenges them to battle, I assume to beat some subordination into them. Jellal does a pretty damned good job of this, blocking their attacks and beating the hell out of nearly all of them while even reciting their names to annoy them; Sawyer (Racer), Erik (Cobra), Solano (Angel), Richard (Hoteye) and Macbeth (Midnight). They all have fairly normal names, I'm surprised, but combatwise, they're sucking.

These are all the fucks he gives

Kyouka continues to interrogate Erza, as she is well aware the two have some relationship going on, but, since Erza won't talk, Kyouka proceeds to send electrical shocks through her body, as her magic allows her to enhance the victim's sensations, or alter them, and now she's turned Erza's sense of pain on max. Kinda like being stung by a platypus, only this one is a bird-woman. Since Erza says she doesn't know, Kyouka brings out a whip. I'd show more of this, but I think the first one was enough, I'd rather not have this review be imageless. To unseal face, they thought they needed to kill every Council member but it turns out they only need to kill a certain three, and Jellal is lucky number three! Meanwhile....oh fuck it, you all know.

....Goddammit Nappa.

Score
The art of Fairy Tail is always awesome but it should be common knowledge to everyone that I love ecchi, so Erza's...er..."venture" in BSDM was the highlight of this chapter for me. 10/10. The story is...6/10. We found out who needs to die for Face, and how close Tartaros is, but, the majority of this chapter was just Hiro seeing how much ecchi he could go into without getting the chapter pulled. Even the end was stupid. Natsu coming to save the girls? Way to screw up a nice set-up, Hiro. The fight was 5/10, Jellal is always too awesome for everyone. Overall, and, being nice, this is a Good chapter.



Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it should be back next week with Fairy Tail 366 - A Thousand Souls. I pray to God Himself, please let one of those souls be Natsu losing his. I look forward to all of your comments, but try to behave, we don't want to have to play mediator. See you all next week.
