Fairy Tail Chapter 304 Discussion

Difference. She's the First. She's the Founder. She's his predecessor. He's differing to her as a sign of respect. She's not actually calling any shots or making any decisions; but he does act to seek her approval.



Exactly. My point being HE SHOULDN"T. He should tell her something like:"Times have changed and I know my family and this world better than you". According to that, it strikes to me as annoying that the one who came up with a strategy (without Makarov knowing a single thing) was Mavis. You wanna know what role I think both of them should have in this arc, the ones they had during Laxus' match against "alexei". In other words Makarov taking the initiative while Mavis compliments him on his skills as a Master. Not the other way arround.

Erza or Laxus, being the real Person's of Mass Destruction with the reputation to match, are too apparent leaders. It has to some of the other three members.



Also, would be awesome to see Gray and Juvia performing an Unison Raid and freeze half of the City just because.

Kanic I get you but I think you're complaining pointlessly. First off, the 2 sided strategy is Makarovs doing (2 teams, rescue and ftw team), and it is so much obvious that Makarov sense of battle/war strategy is lame as shit (need I remind the phantom lord arc, or perhaps fairy island), in my oppinion Mavis is just filling the holes Makarov has. She is a great strategist in battle (whilst a little poor on the outside, let's give a banal example--> judging purehito as a good character for the 2nd FT master) while Makarov relies on his brute strength/skill in battles head on.



Makarov was always shown as an experienced inteligent person when it came to strategies exceeding the battlefront and dealing with global issues/council, but his battle tactics aren't so good. Mavis on the other hand is a different character, analyzing every battle from the beginning of the tournament and comming up with comments and strategies that everyone saw with wondrous eyes.



That is my opinion atleast, the ilussion of her overshadowing Makarov is just because everyone focuses on the battles because it's a battle tournament, thus disregarding Makarov's shadow play outside.

Nice chapter, but isn't it a bit cheating with a dead guild master who can foretell the future helping out? Haha. I guess it doesn't matter, since if what was previewed before comes true, FT are going to get brutally demolished.



I suspect this new Eclipse plan is to bring forth dragons or something like that, as opposed to going to the past to prevent one from being created. Interesting interesting!



It won't be the guilds that do it though so in theory they should still win.

Very interesting chapter. Gonna wait for the MS scanlation before commenting some more because some lines confused me a bit

I really hope most of what M.Panda translated is right though. Especially, Eclipse-2 and Hisui E. Fiore (Her surname should be that of the Kingdom)



RIP Quatro Puppy



PS: Mavis is so damn awesome. She really does give me scary vibes on occasions such as these

I thought they were captured there, but I was wondering where the hell is Mira?

Bam, she was the guard that captured them. Infiltration complete.



The fights are going way to fast.

I hate the fact that after Bacchus was defeated by Elfman and Ichiya,

he just became a weak character. He should have put more of a fight to Sting.

But I guess their thunder is all over since they are not involved on the characters anymore.



The fights that we can expect will go like this. (well only pair at a time with FT on either side)



Rufus vs. Gray vs. Lyon

Orga vs. Laxus vs. Jura

Minerva vs. Erza vs. Kagura

Rogue+Sting vs. Gajeel



I dunno about Blue Pegasus, or the other characters. I think those matchups are the only interesting ones. Can't wait to see the epic fights. I hope they get respective chapter or 2 or 3 for every battle.

Pretty good chapter and that face from Mavis is scary.

The real? Define real. And also I don't think Makarov has met Mavis before. His senpai is Pureheat
