"In terms of percentages, this was one in one billion. What dumb luck...no. To be left at the gates of Hell...what horrible misfortune..."

- Marde Guille about Lucy Heartfilia

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?

Picking up from where my previous review left off (as I did not review the previous chapter due to a few inconveniences, sorry about that), Kyouka stands before Marde Guille (and trust me, you won't forget his name, he won't let you forget his name), informing him that Ezel and Franmalth have bit the dust.

Before we continue, let's just wrap our heads around that. Franmalth is finally fucking dead. Who wants to throw a party? Anyone for wine? Or gift baskets? Or maybe gift baskets with wine?

Sayla and Hell's Core are also completely destroyed...more than likely off screen by Elfman because I assume I didn't miss an extra chapter. Isn't that kind of a waste? We finally see Mira fight what is called a "demon" on-screen and she can't use Take Over on her? Really, Hiro? You give Erza dozens of armors, revealing a shitton of them, but Mira only has two forms revealed in canon? The only new form of her's we've seen has been in filler! That. Is. Fucking. Sad. So, due to being dissatisfied with how Kyouka handled Erza, and believing she's fond of humans, decides to punish her:

Starting to think Hiro hasn't been laid in years

Can we appreciate the irony of punishing a dominatrix by putting her in a bondage situation? I mean, shouldn't she enjoy it? Marde Guille, you're unwise. Meanwhile, Warren contacts Fairy Tail, to tell them Mira and Lisana are safe with them, and Lucy in turn informs them that Wendy has stopped face. Happy also tells Makarov that Hades told them to "release the light".

I'm glad Hiro shed some light on this situation

Marde Guille then takes it upon himself to interrupt their telepathy, and activates "Alegria", which I assume to be his curse. The ENTIRE CUBE convulses and begins to change, enveloping everyone in a strange kind of material that seems to suck them right into the ground. As it happens, the ENTIRETY of the cube (referred to as Brute Grim) is in actuality a giant fucking prison.

I'm having some Black Pearl flashbacks

But, despite all this, one person has escaped this freaky Curse. Just one person.



Now, to score this baby.

Score
Fairy Tail's art is always good, and the weird petrification effect was a special kind of creepy. 10/10. The story, I liked it. We're finally getting somewhere and HOLY SHIT, Hiro just petrified almost everyone. Who the HECK pissed him off this week? But I enjoyed it; I also liked that we're learning even a little more on E.N.D. He's not complete, he's not revived; he needs SOMETHING. 7/10. Overall, Very Good.



Fairy Tail is all done for today, but it should be back next week with Fairy Tail 383 - Surfing Lucy. You can bet I'll be right here to bring everyone the details as they come on in!
