Fairy Tail 393 - Silvers' Thoughts


Hiro...come on mate. Just quit what yer doing. Quit what you're doing, drop FT, and go write hentai. No one here will judge you. In fact, we'd embrace it. I know I would. I'll even read it, Hiro. Let's just get this review started, I have to head out soon. Gotta play a few children's card games with my friends.

So, Silver isn't Deliora. He is Silver.

I'm not sure if I'm happy about this because I hated that "plot twist" or an irritated because Hiro ruined literally the only plot twist he's had in years. Though, to be perfectly honest, I did not hate this chapter. (No, you want 'hate', wait until I get to Fairy Tail Zero.) I actually found it to be enjoyable, to an extent. Silver is a corpse. He really DID die, and Keith (still a bad name for a Necromancing Skeleton, but then there's Brooke from One Piece. I'm gonna make a skeleton called "Jack" now, and he'll be a fucking pirate because whose gonna stop me?) reanimated him to serve as an experiment to see how close to the living one could make a corpse.

I actually like that, well done Hiro, your throat is safe...for the duration of this chapter, again, wait for Fairy Tail Zero.

Given everything he'd done in Tartarus, Silver found himself unworthy of fighting for his son or his wife (Mika, nice name), and became hellbent on dying...or rather, being erased from existence, since he's already dead. He even admits he did some terrible shit, and Gray SHOULD kill him for it. Instead, Gray breaks down and hugs his father. I cannot hate a moment like this; as much as Hiro tries to push the heartwarming bullshit, it's nice to see a change of pace, familial love, rather than "the power of friendship", and given Gray's father has been dead for "years" without Gray getting any kind of closure, this is a good moment for him.

I do have one thing to say before continuing. He's Silver Fullbuster, Gray's Dad. Or rather he's actually Deliora in possession of his body. Then it's revealed the he really is Silver Fullbuster.



Finally, Silver tells Juvia, through Telepathy, to kill Keith, as he is controlling the dead chairman to activate 3,000 Faces. And even though defeating Keith means he dies, to do it for Gray's sake.

Overall Quick Score: 7/10

Fairy Tail Zero 1: Fairies In Your Heart
'''WARNING: THE FOLLOWING REVIEW WILL BE MOSTLY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CHAPTER. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ, SKIP TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE POLL. IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING, YOU KNEW FULL WELL WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO.'''

Ahhh, Fairy Tail Zero.

Zero.

The fucks Hiro gave when writing this chapter, apparently, and definitely the fucks I gave after reading it. I had high hopes for this spin-off but dear Lord, what the hell did you do, Hiro? I had to work with a friend just to formulate everything wrong with this chapter alone, so let's get started, I have a half hour.

Mavis is utterly adorable. This isn't a complaint, just my one positive observation. For someone living in utter shit, she's made of sunshine and rainbows...and that's where the problems start.

Let's start with her guild. Everyone in the guild is a dick. I know Hiro wants us to feel bad for Mavis, so just how independent and awesome she became in the main series, but really? Everyone has to be the bully? Just to make us pity Mavis more, every single person in this guild is someone you'd want to utterly cut into a million pieces if you ever met them in person? Not one nice person?

Then there's Mavis herself. She's six years old, and isn't remotely traumatized by any of this. Her parents died before she was six, she's pretty much a slave, everyone hates her just for existing, she sleeps in a barn, she's barely fed anything, and none of this has impacted her in any way whatsoever? Hell, Mavis says she tries not to cry, but I don't see anything that shows she's actually affected. Yeah, we saw her sad when they took her shoes, and when Zeira showed up and whatnot but...look at her, through this entire chapter, and tell me...does anything in this chapter, ANYTHING ABOUT HER AT ALL, make her look like she's about to snap into tears any moment?

While we're on the subject, can Hiro portray emotion correctly at all? When someone close to you dies, I don't care what fairy tale they told you as a kid, if you have any modicum of proper emotion, you will cry. When my uncle died, I cried at the funeral, I cried later that night; the death of a family member should garner some fucking emotional reaction Hiro! Even fucking Sasuke Uchiha, of all the people I could mention here, reacted properly when his parents died. He cried, he was torn up, he was confused. Hell, when Obito told him the truth about Itachi (whoops, spoiler alert), he cried his eyes out, and he's 16. Not even that, he's certifiably insane and yet he still showed proper human emotion when it comes to his family. Yet Mavis, who we're supposed to believe is relatively mentally stable, has no reaction.

Mavis also seems to be terribly unaware that this is slavery, even saying she's grateful to Jeself. Yes, the man who took away your shoes, dressed you in rags, feeds you scraps of food as opposed to a meal, and makes you sleep in a barn, let's be grateful to him. Mavis, I don't know what fucking rainbow and sunshine world you live in, but it's not the real world and you need to try living in that sometimes. Your entire rainbow sky will die on the fucking spot. Hell, here's a question, why is a grown man forcing a six year old child into slavery to begin with?

Zeira isn't somehow instantly dead. I'm not even gonna go into this one, but when rubble and buildings fall on you, something breaks. She shouldn't have been able to walk, much less have a coherent conversation with the girl she hates. Six year old children, especially ones who don't use magic, aren't made of friggin' steel.

I was, at the very least, surprised this was all on Tenrou Island. And also, Laxus takes after his grandfather.

On one final note:

WHY IS EVERYONE A DICK IN THIS CHAPTER!?

Overall Quick Score: 1/10 It's Hiro's same happiness drivel, nothing more, nothing less.

Poll
Should we change Wikia backgrounds? Yes No

I myself like the background we have, so I figured a poll where most people will see it is a good way to decide where or not to change it. See you guys in the next review.
