Fairy Tail Chapter 471 Discussion

Maybe we're just getting impatient...



I mean last week if we ignore the Acnologia effect, it literally was a chapter of one Spriggan taking the TOP4 WS like it was nothing, and I doubt God Serena was that stronger compared to other Spriggans if his fate was only to be destroyed by Acnologia 5 pages later, we already knew that no one can stand against Acnologia even Zeref stated that.



Right now both Dimaria and Wahl are in the same position as Ajeel was in the last page of chapter 446 when Natsu punched his face, everyone freaked out and said that Ajeel was already done and the Spriggans are just a bunch of overrated, yet the guy easily recovered and almost killed Erza and just by that "almost" some people actually think he had delivered his hype.



"This is war, we need some deaths"

Sure but this is also "Fairy Tail" where good guys win fights only by shouting "FRIENDSHIP", so please wake up and noticed that already, there's no way the author will suddenly change the manga and start killing people left and right, what he can do is kill some side characters like Makarov simply because right now the guy is just useless and since Phantom Lord arc Makarov has always been on the verge of death.



In my opinion, I don't believe the Spriggans need to kill in order to deliver their hype but just like what Serena did to the WS, just show how powerful you really are to the point the other characters get hopeless, I still have faith in both Dimaria and Wahl, but that surely has a limit since this is FT we're talking about.

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.



My mistake then, could've sworn she was close to Kagura, oh well.

I'm more excited to see the two Spriggan headed towards Fairy Heart! Since Cana is located at the guild and we know Gildarts loves to come and save her, he is a possible match up. And maybe Lucy / Cana/ vs the Brandish again ?!? I just have a feeling even though her old wounds against Lucy have gone away , doesn't change the fact that she is loyal to her guild and Zeref. She will be freed and go after the Fairy Heart for the sake of her guild . Makes sense ?!

God Serena was strongest man on Ishgar. He was built up as THE strongest character on Spriggan side. And the only reason he got to trash around others was to hype it up when Acnologia oneshots him for no reason.

You mean the same Ajeel who got teamrocketed by FUCKING BISCA and "Because she's Erza"????....Yeah...good comparison mate. Really adds confidence.

No. Not deaths. IMPACT.

Look at Tartaros arc. Look at what the villains accomplished by this point into that arc. Look at how threatening and DANGEROUS each of villains of Tartaros was.

Now look at Spriggans who had more time spent on being comedic gags than actually DOING anything.

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



Wendy even at her strongest should NOT be able to punch "strongest beings on continent" in the face like it was nothing.

Laxus, even if he is one of stronger members, still got shitted on by Jura and Spriggans were all built up to be as someone above Jura's level.

You refuse to face the fact that you have no legs or arms to stand on with your baseless belief he's not dead.



The thing is that my belief is not baseless.

Pretty much my thoughts, though I think it's clear from the last few chapters the only ones that are gonna matter are Zeref and Acnologia, which is a shame because now the Spriggan seem like filler.

Yeah, since the beginning I never really liked having Spriggans plus Acnologia on the same arc, Acnologia is just too strong compared to everyone and that kind of removes the hype for anyone else, I mean imagine a fight between God Serena and the other 7 DS, that would've been insane.

No. Bad wendy. Get away from the fanservice girl, you're too young to be fighting her.

I think the main issue with Badd and DiMaria is that there was an opportunity to fight against legitimate opponents (Kagura and Lyon, two swordswomen and two mages that build things to fight), but instead DiMaria opted for fanservice and Badd crouched on a roof like he was Spider-Man casting magic missiles of dubious effectiveness (Seriously is Beth dead or not?  If she isn't, then I lose faith in Badd as a mage, since that means he couldn't kill her with a direct hit that she showed no ability to defend against.  But if she isn't then I lose faith in Mashima as a writer, since that means he decided that the post-battle camp scene would be better served focusing on fanservice than the guild's reaction to a dead member).

Well, Mashima already wasted a lot of panels with fan-service that should be enough to lose some faith on him and the problem with the 2Spriggans fights was  simply because it had no FT members there, Mashima simply doesn't like to focus on fights that doesn't have any FT member and that's it, now just by having Wendy there the fight will be completely different even though Wendy shouldn't be that strong at all.



As for Wahl killing Beth, unless I see some of her members falling off or being heavily damaged like Serena is, she was definitely saved off-panel by someone, there's just no way she died and no one cared about it OR she was able to defend that, hell I don't even remember her magic, I mean Wahl just took two direct hits from Laxus and he still fighting, there's no way he can't beat someone like Beth but is able to trade punches with fucking Laxus, Mashima just won't kill the good characters even if this is a war, unless Acnologia appears, then it's a different story.
