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?

No I can't say you're all that wrong about Dimaria. Though her special trait has only started coming out the most since she started fighting. Before that she was pretty okay.



The only spriggans worth keepiing an eye on are definitely August, Wahl, Braddman Neinhart and Jacob. Dimaria is still not unsalvageable yet. She did seem to take Wendy's kick rather harshly so maybe her switch has been flipped.

...Okay, I'll bite.  Why?   August has done nothing, Badd is just Mecha-Zancrow/Jackal (you know, the flashy flamboyant types that get taken out early), Bloodman and Jacob have done nothing, and Neinhart is literally just sitting n his ass.

well so Laxus has been suffering for a year... Fairy tail finally arrive to help mermaid heal yes

Hiro please, show us already how OP Dimaria is, if even Ajeel can have a sand attack on the size of the city, there's no way Dimaria's magic is only ripping things apart, hopefully that kick from Wendy will make her take things more serious.



Dimaria vs Erza,Kagura,Wendy and Chelia?



Also the way Wahl acted against Laxus tells me he is not as weak as some people thought just because he's the sniper type, OR Nineheart will appear and help Wahl against Laxus, then Gray and Lyon can join the party against the 2 Spriggans.



Also I have a feeling Hiro will not make Laxus that badass simply because of those heart attacks, it's like Hiro doesn't want to make Laxus overpowered or something, hopefully I'm wrong, but I just can't ignore that.

How is Wendy not strong? She can go Dragon Force at will and defeated one of the Nine Demon Gates with ease using that form without any training. She's one of the main Five Characters, of course she will keep getting stronger like the rest of the cast. She's one of the strongest wizards on the battlefield right now because of her ability to use Dragon Force.



She's strong, but not THAT strong, remember that even Erza struggled against Ajeel who I guess was the weakest of the 12, Wendy and Sherria shouldn't be enough to defeat Dimaria at all, they need Erza+Kagura to join the party, or Dimaria just doesn't fit in the power-level of the 12.



I mean, I can understand that dragonforce boost a lot of magical power but if that is enough to make Wendy beat Dimaria, then I don't know what will happen when current Natsu or Laxus activate theirs.



Honestly a fully trained up Dragon Force mode like Wendy's hasn't been explored in terms of the extent of its abilities. We haven't seen Wendy use it in a prolonged battle since the timeskip began (Because everything up to this point was skirmishes). All I'm saying is that we have no idea about just how strong the transformation makes her right now, so we'll have to wait and see how well she fares against Dimaria. I mean honestly we know nothing about Dimaria at all besides the fact she likes to strip clothes :p

It's time to ship Lucy-chanXFreed~

The thrill about this arc is  Since Acnologia is really OP as fck, spriggans are useless to him. The Spriggans must get the Fairy heart so that they can defeat Acnologia while the mages will protect it. While Acnologia is starting to slay the dragon slayers.



Still have high expectation in this arc~

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 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.



I think we should just wait for the next few chapters before we make any premature judgments. Mashima has done lots of fanservice this arc so far (Lucy and Brandish bathing) but we all kinda forgot about it after a week because Brandish mentioned Layla. And we later discovered that Layla "killed" Grammy. That also made us forget about all the fanservice. He may do something similar with Dimaria. We never know.
