Wow.... Fairy tail is too soft. Can't even kill anyone. Shounens with supernatural elements like Naruto/Bleach/One Piece has death, Fairy Tail is too soft. Especially this one, all them feels building up, then tr0l0l0l0l0l they're still alive. Beats the whole purpose. In a manga with this kind of context it's expected to have death. One Piece and Bleach have death? Lol, barely. Two deaths outside of flashbacks in 600 chapters is what I would call soft.
Oda has said he doesn't like to kill off his characters because death is not big enough of a punishment.
I read somewhere that Oda states that Luffy fights with the intent of severe punishment, such as completely undermining the goals and ambitions of said opponent as the character believe that it's a worse punihsment than death (he'd rather have them see their "dreams" fall apart themselves), which make sense if you look at the character.
OT" No afro? I am disappoint, Mashima.
Kidding~ But seriously, I knew Wendy wouldn't die. But it was still a nice moment. Death isn't completely necessary in a series like FT, it's more "light hearted" so I'm totally fine with it. 'twas an alright chapter overall, the pedophile Mest was obviously watching the whole thing :P
