Fairy Tail Chapter 458 Discussion

-ZET- said:


I do realise Hiro's formula enough to bore me down and it almost made me drop the series 3months ago, BUT for some reason, this arc looks more serious and a lot more interesting than anything ever.



We always get enemies hyped, it's not only Hiro's but almost every shounem manga, it's like a law, but this time the enemies actually look promising for several reasons, one is the fact that they're directly leaded by Zeref himself, that alone makes it look like you deserve more respect than anything.



The villain group also looks more promising since it's not only them hyping themselves but for the Spriggans to be hyped by Zeref and the 3Kings of Ishigar, that's not something that should be taken light.



I'm gonna try to explain the way I saw Tartaros, for me they were no different that Jellal or GH, everyone is after Zeref, Zeref is the answer to everything and everyone should search for him, that drama got long gone and it was boring as hell, it's like a child searching for their parents for me and then Tartaros treat to wipe MAGIC of the ENTIRE WORLD, but amazingly enough FT are the only ones worried about this, funny huh.



Anyway the Tartaros arc for me was never something good, hell, I barely remember what happened there and I didn't even bother to worry about Avatar, from the very beginning of that arc, most of us knew it was just a light-arc, like a filler, I don't think many people cared about that one.



Well you´ve gotta give Hiro credit where he deserves it, read between the lines.





There is some foreshadowing in those lines that the Spriggan mean nothing to him, a Koopa is still a Koopa, they are in the way towards the final boss, but they don´t differentiate too much.Fairy Tail started off as an episodic series with an adcenture like tone and narrative, like One Piece. But since the Oracion seis arc and actually tbh since Tower of heaven everything can be tracked back to Zeref. The story is a consistant   thread leading the cast  towards this guy.



He´s the stories greatest asset but also it´s greatest weakness. He´s such a well rounded character that everything pales in comparision to him.

It also gives off the feeling that Hiro didn´t really plan out on everyone else, most villais motivations feel shallow and boring because they are just empty vessels to look/behave cool and relate in some way to Zeref. The Oracion seis mostly got their character development after turning good.

Hell I bet Hiro even came up with their history after they were turned in and even invented Yukino just for the sake of giving Angel an identity, outside of that nasty bitch that doesn´t value her spirits.



If I turn out to be right the final message of the manga will be.

Gods = enforce fates, make destiny absolute (religious motive)



Humans = Forge their fates, create their own destiny, therefore deny the gods.

(fairytale motive).

Pretty good chapter, don't really want Ajeel to be defeated.



Although on the flip side, he isn't that interesting a character anyway.



Two chapters next week with some color pages, nice.

Not sure if I can accept this win to be honest. I hate how they hype up villians then it only takes 3 hits for them to be defeated.



Edit: Sorry, but how the fuck did that laser magically miss Erza? The power of bullshit saves the day once again.[B] Also the fact she could re equip despite her energy being drained.[/b]



1.It is bullshit but the excuse they will probably give us will be "Bisca is such an amazing sniper that she can hit only Ajeel". Because you know she can also compress the lazor although never explained.



2.To be fair he said it  drains moisture, not magical powers so please don´t jump on assumptions.

Erza beat Ajeel fairy well. Next chapter is called "Weakness" now that this fight is over can we go back to Lucy vs Brandish fight !!!! Lol I think Brandish has a weakness against celestial magic . Maybe she hates Layla because they fought when they were younger and Brandish kept losing . I think Lucy can take Brandish. All she needs is a combo star dress with Leo & Capricorn forms and summon Capricorn to tell the tale about brandish and Layla ! Since he knows a lot about Layla's past ! What you guys think ? A combo star dress + Capricorn ? :D

Hmm another water sword of Erza? She could have used Sea Empress Armor, the one which she used against Juvia in Tenrou Island

That sword is part of her armour if I'm not mistaking.

He got the team rocket treatment. Even with the twinkle in the sky. So he might come back. It's not impossible

Actually I think the light on the sky is from Erza's attack and because they're on the flying ship that's all the way up there it makes look like he was sent flying but actually that was just Erza's attack.



And yeah, would love if he's actually still up to go, felt like this fight ended way too fast.

It´s hillarious how people always bash on this series and never actually pay attention to what´s happening.



It´s actually the first time Erza is using Elemental swords, her lightning empress armor was shown to be capable of conducting and shooting lightning, so by that logic people could apply that her other "elemental armors" can do the same.



However this was the first time when she used elemental swords that were made up by the element itself.

@PwnDEnd not sure but can't the armour absorb the light or smth..

Guess that could be a somewhat alright-ish explanation, though being able to absorb a chunk of the Jupiter cannon still seems a bit ridiculous, especially since I don't think the cannon is just light. Probably would be better than somehow just completely avoiding it and any damage that should've been sustained though. But meh, whatever. Don't really care that much now.
