good chapter but I didnt receive my answer for whether Serena is dead or not.



Yes Darklight, you still cant bury Serena. lets wait for the next week.



Your denial is pathetic. Watch as he's never mentioned again. Just like trash on the side of the road. Next week won't be any difference since just like the title says it's Laxus VS Wahl. God I hate your type so much.

It's time to ship Lucy-chanXFreed~



No. No way in hell



Yep. lets wait and see. As long as his death was not confirmed, he still may be alive. Wait for atleast 3-4 chapters and then you can call it a denial.



You know what. I have discovered your secret identity. I should have seen it from the very start. You are the black knight of this forum



Listen to the lyrics. They are all true:



Maybe you are the black knight of the forum after all.

I didn't know that you are Mashima's editor. You should stop acting like you know everything about Mashima and his story

That guy on the other site probably cant stand on his words.

First Beth, didn't she get saved by Kaguya slicing up that missle? Have you read that chapter?







No. Beth was already hit when Kagura took the missiles down.

Heart shaped sleeping bag with Erza, LOL.



Nice match up between Laxus and Wahl.



4/5

People taking Dimaria tactics so serious only because of her title but can't even realise what type of manga is this...



I guess we will also expect Jacob to start cutting everyones head, injecting deadly poison and start shooting people with guns because he's an assassin, hell people might actually be waiting for that since he's looks like Jason Statham and Agent 47...



Like, I don't want to sound rude but please, just because this is a "war" doesn't mean heads will start flying around, remember that where talking about a series where the authour revived Lisanna for absolutely nothing but as a morale boost for Mira and Elfman...

And this is also a series where Erza was tortured naked in a prison cell, Grey reenacted the tollbooth scene from The Godfather, Tempesta's suicide bombing/using chemical warfare, a pregnant woman was threatened with explosion, Lucy was nearly raped by Taurus or the Vulcan, not to mention when she was almost sold into slavery/prostitution (1st chapter, by the way), child torture/slavery in the Tower of Heaven...



All I'm trying to say is it's not Black and White here.  Plus, this kinda deflates all the setup.  For God's sake Natsu was expressing fear back at the guild.

Ah, fair enough.



I just think people are overreacting or something like that, I actually think the pace should be slower than what it already is because Mashima is actually rushing things up a bit with making some of the fights off-panel.

For me this arc really needs a lot of time to develop everything, with the number of characters involved...



As for the Spriggans joking around, I guess we need to know their overall strategy  plan, but for now I'll just take as they're not as evil as we're expecting them to be, with only some of them being hard to control, just like Zeref said.

I don't think Wendy's at any risk of being 'stripped' by Dimaria. Mashima has been pretty good about keeping Wendy fanservice to a minimum. So either Wendy isn't her 'type', or she'll start fighting seriously.



It was kind of left up in the air during the Avatar arc regarding whether or not she could go full Dragon Force at will, and this chapter more or less proves she can -- she was only pulling on a little of it's power during Avatar as evident by the fact that she didn't grow the wing pieces she has now and had during the Ezel battle.



But we probably won't see more of that battle for a couple of chapters. There are a lot of FT members on that front and only two Spriggan, so it's possible the Sky Sisters won't fight alone against Dimaria. So for now lets just see what happens with Laxus.



Please, for the love of God. Don't employ fanservice of Wendy or Chelia. I'm begging you, Mashima.

Um...a bit late for that?  Remember Natsu melting Chelia's clothes two arcs ago?  Wendy's bdsm outfit from the omake?  Wendy's ass shot from the ova?



What OVA? If it's the Ryuuzetsu Land one, that's all on the anime staff, since in the chapter it wasn't like that. And what omake? The punishment one?



I noticed that when it comes to fanservice for girls, those who are aged 15/16+ usually are the victims in most anime & manga.

The one before that.  The Beach Training one.  And yes, the punishment omake when Cana has her trying on different outfits.

What the hell did that chick steal Issei's dress break ability?

Plus we got the situation with Laxus (though to be fair, I do like how he's showing some consequence from previous actions that aren't immediately dealt with.  I feel a lot of ire against the Avatar Arc would be alleviated if Gray had to constantly take medication from Poryluscia to hold off the corruption), which basically tells me that Laxus is still so far above everyone in the arc that he needs a health condition to give a sense of tension rather than just giving him an opponent on his level.  May as well've sent him to fight Serena instead of Acnologia.

I heard about Mashima saying once in an interview that it's hard for him to give Laxus a fair fight since he's too strong, hence the reason Laxus always gets quickly out of the scene and now a handicap, that already says that Laxus is indeed way above everyone else but I just can't understand that right now with the Spriggans being as powerfull as they are and not to mention, Acnologia.



I would've preferred if Laxus was the only one capable of solo a Spriggan and everyone else needs a party of 3 or 4, and that leaves Gildarts to fight August since both of them are hyped to be the strongest of each side, but oh well...

I agree.  I thought that's what Mashima was building to when he showed up and attacked Azir.  I mean, I figured Natsu would fight Azir (he normally gets those types) and Laxus would fight August or Serena and Jellal would fight the other (probably August since they both have a wide variety of magics).  I figured Gildarts would make a Big Damn Heroes against Acno, but I'm not sure anymore.

That little bit of Nalu made my heart warm~



Serena discarded like the gimicky trash he was. Gotta love Gajeel's schtick with arresting XD



So it seems sucking up all those particles from Tempesta did have a lasting effect on Laxus after all.

ah, Dimaria, I thought you might be kind of cool before you started tearing clothes off women. Now you're just annoying.



Still, looking forward to seeing some of the battles.



Ok so one problem i have with this is that it has been explicitly stated that Dimaria is a very seasoned war veteran. She knows what shes doing. I don't think she does this just to get a rise out of it. I think she does it to degrade the opponent and embarrass them i.e. lowering their guard and making them an easier target. Dimaria does this for a reason.



Ya, I can understand that. It just stopped making her look cool in my opinion though lol.



I like Dimaria's character honestly. That sadistic and strange desire to humiliate her opponents only killing them if she believes they'll be a pain. But she'll never kill them without toying with them. Her overconfidence will be her downfall though as she needs to start taking FT seriously or she will be defeated. Of course we have no idea what the limits of each of our beloved FT members are after the time skip but I'm sure a combo of Wendy, Chelia, Gray and Juvia would be enough. Erza could help out too considering that she alone nearly defeated one of the 12.



Seriously? You guys are interpreting it as "war tactics"? Hmmm, showing their bewbs, Sun tzu's missing chapter to perfect war.....



Ok, Let me take you seriously for a moment and ask you  a couple of questions.

If she can deliver such detailed attacks why deliver such tactic and not a finishing blow? Killing people and lowering the morale of the troops instead of giving them nosebleeds? Who's to say that said women would be embarassed anyway?



And if she really is a seasoned war veteran then why doesn't she show any other strategy..a bit more smart and plot-provoking and instead opts for something so reminiscent of Hiro's....tactics?



all I can say for sure is that Dimaria wants to play around for a little bit she'll get serious soon enough

I think acnologia will be the final boss of FT and Zeref, Natsu and the other dragon slayers will have to defeat him together.



I don't think Zeref is evil he is probably doing all this just to kill acnologia for some reason. I think it was mentioned a few chapters earlier that he helped open that gate to try and defeat acnologia. Idk why acnologia is such big a threat though. He would have been a threat if dragons were alive but now that the dragons are all dead they should just leave him alone because he has no interest in humans. Moreover the only person he killed was serena. He let the other humans live.



The reasoning for that last bit is simple. He wants to eliminate all Dragon slayers. Everyone else is as relevant as specks of dust to him.

Yes but why start a war and risk the lives of millions to save 8 dragon slayers? It is a bit stupid imo



Acnologia didn't start the war though. He decided to butt in cause he can.

Actually, Zeref went and challenged him. Talk about not letting sleeping dragons lie....



Pretty sure Zeref told Acnologia to wait for the strong opponent. Zeref was still gonna go to war for Lumen Histoire even before that
