"Erza is the victor...but the points go to me. Now you see firsthand...how a king fights. Only the most delectable morsels can appease our appetites. Things like the heads of mermaids, or....fairies who have had their wings rendered asunder..."

- Minerva to Erza

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 Mangastream....it's "Jellal", not "Gerard". Anyway, continuing where we left off from the previous chapter, Kagura drew her blade...and honestly, it was a major let down. I mean, it's supposed to be able to cause a cataclysm.

That's a cataclysm? Jason does this every other chapter. So....the standards for cataclysms have been lowered extremely, because Jason must have caused one when he wiped out those Rune Knights and the general area. Anyway, Erza no sells the attack, which means I jumped the gun on my last blog. Given the darker tone of this arc, I thought Erza was actually gonna die. Also, did anyone else hear La Princesa Ziki's sigh of relief? Erza says that she's only alive because of her friends, Simon and Uncle Rob (I forgot this guy existed, really), and she won't relinquish it easily. Now this is Erza.

However, Kagura still wants to stand up...and I'll give her credit, the more screentime she gets, the more we see of her breasts, well done. Either way, a pillar begins to crumble, and just when you think it's about to crush Kagura to create a very sexy pancake, Erza pushes her out of the way, crushing her leg under the rocks instead. And she reveals that she's from the same village as Kagura, the Rosemary village and....I'm actually fine with this. Erza's past was deliberately vague, I'm fine with this. She saved Kagura from the people coming to kidnap kids, who, for the sake of simplicity, I will call the Cult of Pedobear. I mean, am I the ONLY one who thought this looked like rape? Come on, Hiro.

Of course, Kagura now feels like the biggest idiot on the planet, because she's been actively trying to kill the girl who gave her own freedom to save her life. Hell, Erza has even been concerned for her well-being on these years...and you've paid her back by beating the tar out of her. Way to show gratitude, Kagura. So, it looks like their going to get off on a good note, making amends, Kagura is even about to declare Erza's victory...and then? And then? Complete asshole doesn't even begin to cover this.

Minerva shows up, stabs Kagura in the back (makes me wonder, why not the heart? Why the side?), and Erza is absolutely pissed, but she can't do anything. Her leg and feet are far too damaged.

Poll
On a scale of 1-10, how much do you hate Minerva? I don't hate Minerva at all. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 My hatred is off the scale

Score
Fairy Tail's art is always awesome, I can't deny that, so, 10/10 as usual. The story was actually really good, not because of progress forward, but being of exposition received on Erza and Kagura's shared past, plus their fight has concluded, courtesy of Minerva. 9/10. The fight....was anticlimactic. Erza one-shotted Kagura despite being on the losing side last chapter, and Archenemy was disappointing, so, 4/10. Overall, the chapter was Very Good.

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