Welcome to the Chapter Review Corner

Thanks for checking us out for another night. To those new to the blog, welcome, to my continued readership, all I have to say is thanks. We've got a great blog lined up just for you.



Think you can sit through the whole thing? Aaaaaaaand....go!

It's been a long time since we had a Wendy mascot, but that panel was a little too good to pass up. I mean Wendy.....tentacles...bound....



....alright, we're back online. We're starting the chapter with a huge cheer for Fairy Tail and...honestly, it irks me. Not just because Fairy Tail won so easily, but because these idiots were mocking Fairy Tail not days ago, and now they are jumping ship to Fairy Tail.

Ohhhh, wait for it.

Sting and Lector are now suddenly concerned about Natsu's wellbeing, which turns the story to the fight under the castle, where Fairy Tail seems to be getting their behinds handed to them fairly easily...and again, Wendy bound by tentacles. Anyway, the brawling continues (wasn't there supposed to be an Anti-Magic Specialists group, where the heck are these people?) before....

Okay, who let a Darkrai run lose?

Every enemy gets sucked into a Dark Void, and leaves Fairy Tail confused and wondering what is happening. Jellal, some ways away, is suddenly realizing the the 'Lucy' they spoke to wasn't Lucy at all! And meanwhile, back at the plot, Arcadios confronts the Princess, drawing his sword to make this moment dramatic, as they talk about "that person" from the future.

At which point, Jellal, again, realizes...THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON HERE! ...This looks like a job for Captain Obvious! Faster than the speed of stupid!

All the soldiers, and the Legion of Hungry Wolves got devoured by that shadow...and someone reveals themselves to be standing in it as Jellal rushes to where Lucy and co. are, trying to find out what the motives of the second individual is. Oh, we don't have to wait long though. ...Who is your hairdresser?

You know, it's a good thing he said who he was. I nearly thought Midnight decided to man up.

Poll
What is Rogue's motivation? The fact that he uses Shadow Dragon Slayer magic corrupted him, and now he's evil. Someone let Frosch die. -cough-Obito-cough- Something more complex than this, I mean, it's Rogue.

Now with that....let's bring up the scoreboard.

Score
Fairy Tail's art is always epic, and thus, 10/10. The story? I was really surprised by the end of this chapter, and even the realization that "that person" was not Lucy after all, but instead friggin' Raios of all people....yeah I did not see that coming, and it threw me for quite the loop. I wanted to rate it higher, but the earlier part of the chapter, and Arcadios and Hisui's melodrama didn't keep me interested until the reveal. So...8.5/10. The fight...really, there wasn't much, all I remember is Wendy and those tentacles. 1/10. Overall, this was a Very Good chapter.

Fairy Tail is all done for today, but I it'll be back next week with Fairy Tail 324 - The Person Who Closes The Door.. Wow, it has been a total of 10 chapters since Erza vs Kagura began, and about two months. Doesn't time fly? Anyway, comment as you please, I enjoy them, go wild, I don't care if you keep it clean.
