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.



Let's get things started...with a bang.

Oh boy was this chapter satisfying on at least two levels, and yet disappointing on one huge front. So, Hiro gives us a coloured start that I won't show because it'll just clutter the blog, and in a moment of brilliant Gruvianess (that's a word now), they pull off a Unison Raid to send Lyon and Chelia blasting off like Team Rocket. SUCK IT, GRALU SHIPPERS!

This was a very cute Gruvia moment, especially when she got slightly Yandere, saying she'd never let go of Gray's hand. Oh Gray, you lucky bastard.

All I see are tits.

I'm actually rather tired of Erza. All she is to me now is walking tits. You'll see why because I may start ranting soon. So, Minerva calls her resistance futile and is about to make her strike...when Erza simply cuts it in half. You know why? Because this armor can negate the very laws of magic. What. The. Fuck? Ever heard of a Deus Ex Machina? Let me give the laconic definition from TVTropes itself.

"A miracle that saves the heroes at the last minute."

For those who want to read the full article, go here, but anyway, that's what this armor is, a Deus Ex Machina that tops the bloody Mugetsu. I am sick of Erza winning all the time. There is absolutely no suspense to her battles now, because she cannot lose. I'm all for Action Girls who do something, since this manga is full of them, but stop whoring out Erza for this, she's Sei Hyūga with tits, and I'm sick of it. This was the one bloody time she could have lost, and Hiro had someone else take the win, or fuck it, make Fairy Tail some in second place, was that so bad? Heck, Per and I have put in a rule that bans the new armor Erza is using now. 3.5: Nakagami Armor ― Because of Chapter 322, no user, if they use Re-Equip, is allowed to use the Nakagami Armor because of its blatant overpoweredness. If somebody, for any reasons, adds the armor onto their character, it will be removed and the user will receive a warning. Not even admins are allowed to use the armor- and indeed, if anyone fanonifies Erza for the sole purpose of using the armor, this is not allowed and will result in a ban.

I know I rip on Ichigo alot, but one of his best traits is how often he loses.Main character or not, he still doesn't win every fight he's in. I'm gonna let Erza's victory slide, because of this:

FUCKING SUCK IT, ZICO, ASH, AND VOID!!!!!!

Minerva is finally DOWN. I'm sick of hearing that she's a decent villain, she was nothing more than a sideshow to keep us occupied while the real events get underway. Minerva has no real motivation outside of wanting to be the "best", and honestly, that just makes her an evil Ash Ketchum, that's all. Half the atrocities she pulls off are for the evulz, we don't know what makes her tick, she's a bitch just because she wants to be a bitch. She's as bad as the Vandenreich, the only difference is we hate her and want her dead. Well...those of us with any sense anyway. She's finally down, we're never gonna hear from her again, Hiro, bring in Tartaros, an actual Dark Guild who should matter. Either way, Ding Dong, the bitch is down.

Striped panties just lost alot of their appeal.

As it happens, the point total now is just enough that if Sting defeats every member of Fairy Tail still in the tournament, Sabertooth will be one point ahead. This was his plan all along, and I'm not sure what type of gambit this is, an Xanatos Gambit, a Batman Gambit, I'd have to check. Either way, he intends to beat them all, to win for Lector, but.... Even Madara would have to back down here.

Sting surrenders. I mean, come on. Would you stand against these people, knowing the plot is behind them and Erza would just win anyway? He starts thinking he'll never see Lector again, but Erza, I have no idea how, apparently has saved him.

I cried tears of joy here.

I am a major cat person, and I was sad when Lector was killed. He was annoying, but I like him. So when I saw he was safe, and Sting was just so happy to have his little friend back, I actually cried tears of joy. It's sad. Saving a cat envokes more feels in me than say, Yamamoto's death. However, apparently, the impossible outcome was Fairy Tail winning and Sting admitting defeat. A bet no one would make, but Future!Lucy did. And so...it's time for the Eclipse Plan 2.

With that, let's bring up the scoreboard.

Score
Fairy Tail's art is always epic, and thus, 10/10. The story, I liked it. We're progressing well into the Eclipse Plan now, and Sting is reunited with Lector. Events are unfolding as Future!Lucy foretold, and I think everyone should be scared. 5.5/10. The fight....Gray and Juvia's move was awesome, but Erza's fight ruined the entire fighting portion, and this is lucky to scrape a 2/10. Overall, the chapter just scrapes "Good".

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but I it'll be back next week with Fairy Tail 323 - The Reappearing Shadow. Comment as you pleased, everyone, let's get this underway.
