Yea Tartaros sure is delivering the hype that everybody thought they would. With these 2 fights so far, they sure do seem intimidating.
Tempesta getting roflstomped by Laxus.
Jackal getting 1 LFG attack in his demon form and then hes out for the count.
And I love how Mashima trys to make it seem like Natsu just fainted at the end, like it was somehow a close battle when it wasnt remotely close. Hate it when authors do this, its the same shit when Erza using her sword as a walking stick to make it seem like she was severely beaten up, when she just owned Minerva. You arent fooling anybody Mashima. You're terrible.
And I thought Natsu said he negated Jackals attack anyway? Meaning why did he faint, if the attacks didnt work on him? They clearly did. So I guess if Jackal could've tanked a couple more blows Natsu would've lost? Lol no. We all know he would have got right back up and fight again, because it doesnt matter how much damage you do to Natsu, or any other important character from FT, they will always get up, and the villains are glass cannons.
But screw all of that. Hiro Mashima hit a new low with Happy surviving Jackals most powerful explosion. And dont even try to say that this is just like Pell in One Piece. This is objectively worse.
Jackals final attack, his biggest explosion, which is going to kill him and everybody in town (Oh wait thats right, the town was evacuated, so there goes all the tension) gets foiled by Happy flying him into the air and then exploding himself. But wait! The attack is TANKED, by a fucking cat, who makes other fodder characters seem like God Tier characters, and we are supposed to just accept that? A villain was just killed, and the cat took his most powerful explosion, and we need to just accept it?
And dont even think of saying "Its a gag moment" because it fails. Nami punching Luffy and damaging him is a gag, this shit is not.
So anyways, Tartaros, just like every other villain in this series, is hyped up to know end, only to get trolled by FT. Man do I feel the suspense.
I cant wait till Erza vs Minerva. The sight of that shall be glorious
