The bitchers are strong on this one, they are also stupid.
Don't know what the fuss is about, the author knows exactly what he is doing. Hell, didn't anyone notice that Aquarius is holding something in her right hand on the final page (conveniently out of frame). One guess what it is?
Aquarius was always been the key to Lucy's mother, this was made clear year's ago. Lalya has something planned, Aquarius, her best friend, has always known, and Brandish's mother likewise was in on it. Just lean back and enjoy the ride as Lalya's true plan is revealed.
Reminds me of when people were saying that Brandish being taken out was part of a plan to get her into ft and steal fairy heart...only for absolutely none of that being shown as true.
It was a gag moment nontheless, I think she wanted to get closer to Lucy, to kill her, but there is a misunderstanding about her mother's death. The one think that would "shock" me, is if Aquarius says that her mother is still alive or Layla did indeed kill her. But that's unlikely. Either she was killed by Zeref to make Brandish join FT or was dead when Layla found her and took the key.
A gag moment leading onto serious plot progression, and a so far bad back story is a terrible way to progress the story. And bad writing in general.
Idk... maybe she did let herself get captured (it still was a gag moment). Revenge is a weird theme to use, it doesn't lead to anything good. Makes you wonder, why bother killing Lucy if Layla is dead, to make herself feel better for what Lucy's mom presumably did? Something doesn't add up, it's a misunderunderstanding on Brandish's part, unless she was there when her mother got killed, or saw the whole thing happen or whatever. Point is, is there really satisfaction in doing that? Why? Layla is dead for all we know, unless she IS NOT. So Layla could be alive, who knows. Or this is another misunderstanding (which is most likely, if not I'd be surprised).That's the whole notion of revenge; if someone killed the person you love and you can't avenge him/her because the culprit is dead, you're next target is the person they loved most. I.E. Layla killed Brandish's mum -> Brandish can't get vengeance on Layla since she's dead -> kill the next best thing which is the daughter of Layla (mother kills mother & daughter kills daughter).
