Laxus vs Wahl sounds cool..



Besides that, I don't expect much from Dimaria's fights, but I'm curious to see Neinhart..maybe he'll join this fight later?



inb4 he is gildartz :v



Some ppl say it's Gildarts other it's Simon but it will be


...



Oh god why?! XD Not Nichya!

Didn't we see Nichiya with Blue Pegasus/Sabertooth?  Unless...he's a thought projection!  Of course!

Poor Chelia. That Dragon Force kick though!



And Laxus's condition is gonna be his undoing.



Someone jog my memory. Who's Beth again?

I heard Neinhart is a certain language (idk which one) means 'No Heart' so that may be a hint/clue.

"Nein" is "no" in German. "Hart" actually means "hard" or "harsh" in German. @Kanic also said this in a thread I made. I Agree. You guys have a point.

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.

Kanic said:


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?



Well I'm not really interpreting it as war tactics, i think she's mainly having fun and messing around. She basically enjoys humiliating people. I can understand how it would make some people easier to attack though. Can kill 2 birds with one stone in that respect lol.



I don't think some of the bad guys feel they even need real tactics to an extent. One of the easiest ways the other side wins is because they were underestimated. She seemed ultra annoyed by Wendy getting that kick in so she'll probably be in a bad mood next chapter and be a bit more serious.

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.



I usually enjoy sadistic enemies but this feels more like fanservice than actual embarrassment for the sake of hurting people to me. Agree about the overconfidence, it will probably be a team effort to take her down as you say too perhaps for a chunk of the fight.

L....Laxus???



What the hell man? He is  supposed to be the next master! Kill Natsu instead if you want drama  T_T.

Looks like Laxus also has cancer...

Dat ending! Obviously Laxus's cancer is going to be a factor for this fight.

Laxus doesn't have cancer. Natsu had cancer- which Brandish shrunk (very convenient, that) and he was healed in the same chapter. Laxus suffered lasting damage from sucking in Tempesta's Magical Barrier particles. Ironically, that was to protect Hargeon too. Anyway, you're right about the illness influencing Laxus' fight. Mashima's deliberately weakening Laxus because he's so powerful. I've been afraid something like that would happen ever since he got poisoned. I honestly don't know why he is doing this. It's about time Laxus got to fight all out at full power. The opponents now are powerful enough for that.
