User blog:Ash9876/Ashy's Reviews -- Fairy Tail 503: The Last Sight I Beheld

"What big, beautiful eyes you have. I wonder...are all Ishgarians born with them? Just looking at them really pisses me off. I suppose gouging them out would be a good place to start, don't you think? That's the best expression you can manage? Some tears and screaming would be nice...It would really help set the mood."

- Dimaria Yesta.

"I'd much rather lose my eyes than entertain your twisted fetishes, you scum! Even if I can't see everyone's smiling faces, I'll always remember each and every one of them. The sight of our Guild...The streets of Magnolia, with all the houses and shops...All the stains and dirty spots on the books I've read...I'll remember them all. If you're really going to do it, get on with it already! Don't think for a second I'm scared of the likes of you!"

- Lucy Heartfilia.



Oh hey, look, a cute Wendy cover with a tiny bit of sexual innuendo maybe but hey it's tolerable...For most people, I think? Anyways, moving on! Uh...Natsu and Lucy are getting their kink on? I have no clue.

The chapter begins with Lucy waking up to see Natsu and herself bound by Dimaria with Magic Sealing Stones on their arms and legs to a chair. Dimaria shows herself and remarks on how convenient Ishgarian tools are, before saying she was done in by them as well. Does this imply that Alvarez doesn't possess Magic Sealing Stone? If so, I really wonder how they manage to imprison any Mages at all. Probably execution, huh. Or maybe barriers...

Either way, Dimaria continues to comment on how Lucy's situation was similar to her own before. Lucy, as kind as she is, is trembling in anger as she asks how she could do such a thing to Brandish. Dimaria, responding in kind, says she is the one who broke her. Using Age Seal, she transports to Natsu and says Lucy will pay, while Lucy is puzzled about her ability and compares it to Teleportation.

Adding in a bit of, uh, relatively appropriate (character-wise) fanservice is Dimaria stealing Lucy's bikini top, leading her to comment on Dimaria's perversion. Dimaria, amused, says she'll strip Natsu down too and they'll be in the same boat, though she remarks on the Fire Dragon Slayer's inactivity, asking if he's dead.

Placing herself on Lucy's chair with a knife pointed to her face, Dimaria comments on how large and beautiful her eyes are, before asking if all Ishgarians are born with them. (I mean, all the relevant ones are.) She then says gouging them out would be a good place to start, before wanting to provoke a reaction of fear from Lucy, who responds in kind: Lucy's Anaconda don't want none...Oops, this is a serious moment. Hey, look, Lucy's reminding me of Phantom Lord!

Lucy, in this moment, reminded me of when she was abducted by Phantom Lord. With no hesitation, she states that even if Dimaria gouged her eyes out nothing would change, and tells her to get on with it: she isn't scared. Dimaria, calling her a rebellious bitch, says she'll take her pretty face and cover it in scars before Lucy internally screams out Natsu's name.

While the sound effect of a stab takes place, the next scene shows a far more tattered room with Lucy on the floor, her head covered in blood and hair covering her (seemingly) stabbed eyes. Opening her eyes, which have been untouched, she wipes the blood off her face as she tries to get a handle on her surroundings and what happened in those few moments.

Would you like a burn heal for that burn?

Dimaria is in a heavily injured state with burns, bruises and tears across all of her clothing. Lucy, shocked, then witnesses Dimaria call out "monster." Lucy looks around and asks where Natsu is, before Dimaria continues with what she was saying. Lucy, afraid that Natsu performed such a monstrous act, listens as Dimaria continues to describe the monster. She states he could move freely within his time, his power surpasses even the Gods and that the only one capable of such feats is E.N.D.

Soon after, Happy enters the scene and bellows into Lucy's chest, with Porlyusica, Brandish and Evergreen right behind him. Porylusica questions whether Natsu is with Lucy, while Brandish and Dimaria have a less than fond reunion.

Brandish: New continent who dis?

Dimaria, seemingly appearing apologetic for her actions, is quickly silenced by Lucy. She expresses her relief that Brandish is alive and Brandish matter-of-factly states that they need to bind Dimaria with magic sealing restraints, and explains the nature of her power to Lucy. Evergreen asks what transpired, before Lucy explains her own confusion on said events.

Porlyusica begins stating that Natsu's tumour was misdiagnosed and in response to Brandish returning it to its normal size that Natsu suffered an "attack", or rather, he awakened a sinister, demonic power. Happy, being the only one who's aware of Natsu's true identity, clenches his paws while thinking "E.N.D."? Lucy hurriedly states they need to find Natsu, while Evergreen and Brandish blankly accuse her of being a pervert, leading her to quickly cover her exposed breasts.

Note how Lucy's nipples were basically erased in these scenes? Good stuff Hiro.

The scene radically shifts, as burnt soldiers and swords are seen in the foreground while a flaming mass walks in the background. Revealed to be Natsu, he incessantly mumbles, asking for Zeref's whereabouts before he locates his position at the Guild.

Gray, use your stripping powers and strip E.N.D off Natsu!

Apologies for the terrible joke, but I have no other way to make these entertaining. In any case, Natsu encounters Gray. Gray says his name but, contrary to what we were expecting after Invel revealed Natsu's identity, he says his name in an...almost sympathetic tone. Perhaps he is not angry with Natsu at all? Only time will tell.

Tfw you're the main protagonist but you end up gaining black flames and take Sasuke's role.

Natsu matter-of-factly states Gray's name, as a murderous look envelops his entire body. Where this encounter will lead, only time wil tell.

Ultimatum
Overall, the chapter was a bit slow. However, it was nonetheless eventful in terms of plot progression. We finally got a glimpse of E.N.D and, while Dimaria was unfortunately sidelined, we can easily tell that since Acnologia, E.N.D and Zeref are meant to be the main players of this event, that their battle will be on an entirely different level. That is, unless Irene or Mavis have something scheming in those brains of theirs.

As many people might have noticed, the tumor did develop at the place where Natsu pierced E.N.D's book, indicating that Zeref purposefully quickened the awakening of E.N.D and that this state was supposed to be a natural progression to an extent.

Not much else to say regarding the chapter. Next chapter is 504: Rift, look forward to it!
