"This malice for all humankind...don't you ever forget it..."

- Marde Guille to the Spirit King

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. SARA, how's it looking?



All systems are up and running TOM; are you ready?

So...this chapter. This chapter. To be honest, by the end of it, I was more or less like this:



Just...meh. I didn't even go full Lewis; I didn't LIKE the chapter, but it didn't send me into a spluttering fit either. I mean, we all knew this bunch of idiots we call the Guild were gonna get saved, it was just a matter of time. This doesn't even have to be Fairy Tail, that's just shounen really. False suspense was all it was, I don't even know why I got excited when it looked like Marde Guille turned 'em all to stone. Maybe I thought someone had killed Hiro and took over Fairy Tail because that would be worth celebrating. Anyway, enough about what Per and I did to the main cast, let's actually focus on the chapter.

Carrying over from the last chapter, using Urano Metria uses up all of Lucy's power, causing her to fall to the ground, barely conscious. I'm...not even gonna get into how disappointed I am that it seems her Water Magic was temporary. Leave it to Hiro to not give a shit that Lucy's here. The dude that's an obvious Fishman rip-off notes that Jackal's magic power is gone...and this makes me curious. If Curses aren't Magic...shouldn't they be using something different from Magic Power? Just putting it out there.

here will you be when the acid kicks in?

The Celestial Spirit King, despite growing weary (Marde Guille just earned +5 badass points), calls upon the energy of the stars (the Celestial Spirits, I assume?) and releases a fabulous light show that envelopes a massive area around him...and this proceeds to free everyone. Gasp, spoiler alert, Fairy Tail is alive and kicking because apparently, letting Lucy and Wendy try and handle shit a bit more was too much for Hiro; Natsu demands he get the screentime as dictated in his contract. Reversing Alegria seems to turn the effects of it BACK on Marde Guille, who turns to stone. Freeing these buffoons does do one thing good; Gajeel gets to DO something, finally, hey welcome back, and the remaining members of Tartaros finally make a goddamn move. It also leads to probably the only other good thing about this chapter:

That look of shock is worth more words than all of this chapter's dialogue

Sadly, Natsu has to waste ink by appearing in this chapter, and thanks Lucy for saving their asses. I love how bored Tempesta looks, because that was me reading this chapter. I've never been happier the majority of the cast of FT is dead in Dawn than I am at this moment. The sad thing is...I think Hiro thinks he did a good job with this chapter, I really do.

If it isn't obvious yet, this isn't an actual tweet from him

Score
Fairy Tail always has awesome art, so 10/10. There wasn't really any story so 1/10. After last chapter, this 'fight' wasn't much, in fact, there was barely any of it; 5/10 is the most I can give to this. Overall, it's a "passable" chapter.



Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it should be back next week with Fairy Tail 387 - Father & Son. You can bet I'll be right here to bring everyone the details as they come on in!
