There's no point in trying to figure out anything from the Eclipse gate, because Mashima has shown consistently he has had zero idea what to do with any plot elements from the grand magic games arc. Minerva, Jiemma, Gray killing Frosch, the Eclipse gate. Has any of these had some sort of satisfactory explanation or resolution?



Minerva conclusion was okay. Otherwise trainwreck.



Its more like Mashima lost control of the plot after Tartaros.

Even the part where Porlyusica cured her demonization?  I figured that'd be an issue with you.

Natsu is an critical state and Aquarius need to tell Lucy something, but will she wont get the time, will she.

I think you guys are a bit misleaded with the hidden sub plot.  If Layla fulfilled her mission doesn't that mean she managed to send someone into the future who has the potential to beat acnologia.  This person must have been important enough for her to sacrifice her life for.



And before you are wondering what happened to natsu didn't Aquarius want to tell lucy one more thing?

Wahl  can always just make the cannon again and fire another shot and then the guild would be vaporized. But he's busy fighting in Hargeon right now.



that kind of describes the problem with this arc.



The so called "strongest wizards of the world" COULD be causing actual damage and showing why this is a war, but majority of them just end up fucking around or even worse, barking like dogs(yes this whole trainwreck with brandish makes it incredibly  hard to take this arc seriously)



It would be "meh" if we did not have Tartaros arc where a far less powerful force actually managed to make a lot more impact than a whole continent so far.



Tartaros didn't nuke Bosco off the face of the map.



Dimaria isn't messing up and Wahl has yet to be genuinely threatened by anyone. Then there's the guy Yukino met with who has been killing her guildies left and right apparently. You are jumping to conclusions before this arc has even started in earnest.



Brandish became an uncertainty the moment she started going wobbly lipped over a destroyed stand. Doesn't matter how cool she acted after that, it was her true character at the core.

They did nuke Fairy Tail/Magnolia itself however, which is more important than a city that we've never seen and was only mentioned once.  And the only reason that didn't work is because Cana met Sho offpanel and he said "Wanna see a magic trick?"



Bosco is not a city. It's an entire kingdom





Interesting.  Where's that from?

Also, my point still stands that it's a place we've never seen and know nothing about besides they practice human trafficking (or a really aggressive modelling industry) over there.  Without knowledge of its military or mage calibur I can't see destroying Bosco as an impressive feat..  It was shocking, for sure, but it didn't make me think "Albareth ain't nuthin' to fuck with," know what I mean?

I will aggree with Darklight that this war hasn't begun in earnest. And quite frankly Azeel was stomping Erza if it wasn't for Bisca/Jupiter. His sand world wichi engulfed the whole city was , in part, showing and not telling. I mean we don't even have the full list of the spriggans yet. I do aggree that Brandish and her girlfriend though were handled pretty miserably buuut.. imagine the knight-chick murdering Brandish for turning to FT. Maybe not that much of an impact but I'm half-expecting it.



And I am just comparing what we have now. Tartaros arc "started" with them blowing up the council  and sending half the FT to the hospital even before the actual arc got going. Before first Demon Gate fell, they already did a lot that makes them look dangerous and ups the stakes.

With Spriggan we already have "war going on" through whole place, we already have two out of three defeated(and one in completely humiliating character destroying fashion) and yet we have nothing that would make them a threat.



Am I hoping I am wrong and they DO end up doing a come back or something(ex: would it not be cool is Brandish did 180 and started blaming dragonslayers for deaths of both layla and her mother?)? Sure  I am.



But with Avatar "arc", gray whitewashing, Aquarius coming back and Lucy's development and sacrifice being undone, and Lucy's plot being cut short for sake of Natsu and Gray's(with her mother literally ending up a plot device)  and Brandish being turned to a fucking doggy and Ajeel getting teamrocketed and Any sort of damage to Magnolia being null and void, let's just say my hopes are lowering with every chapter.



>Mentions Avatar arc's flaws



>Doesn't include Natsu's rubbish asspull victories over Bluenote and War God



toplelfail



Atleast have the decency to be consistent more so than using your own Natsu fanboy favouritism over objectivity heh



>States Lucy's plot was short and taken by Natsu/Gray?



Do you compute with what you said?
