inb4 these 1 million 'enemies' are all 'allies'.
If some bullshit like that happens, I swear to God... I don't even know what I'd do.
Worry not, the other guilds will pull a last minute save next chapter. Perhaps best girl Kagura will be able to put in work
The only ones from the other non-CS guilds I can see being of any help are Kagura and Lyon, maybe Chelia and Milianna. Then again, it's been a year so maybe the fodder from the GMG got up to FT's level.
Lol no none of them would be of any help except in dealing with foot soldiers aside from jury,kagura. Lyon below gray now as is Celia to wendy
I left Jura out since he's with the council now, but yeah, that's why I said maybe. Also you just know that Mashima's gonna throw ST in and try and convince us that the Twin Dragons aren't garbage again.
Actually, what reinforcements would you find more laughable? Blue Pegasus or Quattro Cerberus? I'd go with Puppy because at least Pegasus can do airstrikes.

This is something the medium of Anime in general suffers from.
Even "critically aclaimed" shows that advertise themselves for their strategic battles are mostly not.Shikamaru from Naruto, the whole HxH series. Tactics in One Piece.They all boil down too. Oh that move you never used before, now you use it in combination with that other move you always use and it´s a great combination because the one is a feint.
To write about a strategic mastermind requires to be a strategic mastermind, most often the most basic of tactics were labeled genius although it just happened coincidentally to be the required tacitc while just being a traditional fightning method for the winning side.
Oh, Genghis Khan was a genius because he lit animals on fire and let them run through the enemie base and because he bribed his enemies footsoldiers.
The situation from the readers pov is always easy to explain, but to value such a tactical decision it always requires to be viewed from the pov of the character.
I agree though that Mavis especially is a very cheap version of that "genius tactician" archetype that so many Anime and Manga use.
For sure, FT is not the only series that is lacking true strategy, but there are enough others that work on tactics much better or at least they are not trying to pass someone as this great wow person, only to see they are useless. Hxh was great in utilizing this. The fights really had to do with someone's tactics and not how much you believe in friendship. Naruto started out much better, but ended up "getting more magical powers every month". Narsus from Arslan Senki is using strategy fine, or at least to a decent level to say that he is a good strategist.
I am not expecting for special schemes and such in a simple shounen (though that would be great), but at least keep up the pretenses for a bit longer. By now, every week that passes makes Mavis look worse and it is kind of insulting to the reader's intelligence.
Though ok, I know it's FT and my expectations are always low, but this felt too much in such a short time, I just had to share it.
I wouldn´t blame the shounen demographic in general for it, it´s true that Shounen do simplify alot of tactics or even plotpoints for their audience for the sake of comedic relief or for the audience to be able to understand it.
Aka Chunin exams were everyone was impressed about "idiot" Naruto being capable of using some decent tactics.
It was immediately refered too as "prankster logic". He´s an idiot but because of his experience as a prankster he pulls off somewhat decent tricks to fool his enemie. In actuality it would have been smarter to refer to him as a creative mind rather than an analytical one, the choice in words actually gives the whole situation a different shape. HxH doesn´t do much more to my knowledge, the tactics aren´t really superior or more well thought out, they just use more eloquent words for it,
I remember episode 48-49 of Conan tried to be briliant and showcased a murder that was impossible to solve the way it was seemingly portrayed, the author just skipped the explanation for the audience but everyone in the cast agreed that it was plausible.
