Laxus deathflags, he's voiced by Katsuyuki Konishi in the anime, that means he's doomed



Does he always Voice Characters that Die in the? That is what i am getting from your review

No, just a rather famous one.



OK thanks...have to check...need keep up with the Anime Common Knowledge.

Jesus christ people still bitching about so called destroying Brandish's character when it was proven from introduction that she's a MASSIVE dork? Wow you people really love blaming Mashima for your own misguided delusions



Everyone is a dork in this manga, I think its JSUT annoying when bad guy with the decked stacked and all this power don't JSUT kill their enemy.



Anyway I wonder if gray can remove the remaining demon particles in Lexus body. If the events we saw in the anime Is canon him stressing his body during The thick of his illness in tortures could explain his condition.

Lexus s also the type of character you need to remove from battle to allow tension, since like gildarts and Serena he is impossibly strong



I don't think Gray can use Devil slayer magic for healing. After all Porly gave him the antidote and if that didn't work completely things are looking grim. We don't know for sure if it's the exact same as what Natsu developed though. After all he didn't show any signs of it before he collapsed. Meanwhile Laxus said he's had it occur every now and again since the Tartaros incident.

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.



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.



Wendy is one of the strongest females in the world, until recently she was much stronger then lucy basically right behind Mira and Ezra in her guild

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....

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.



Kyouka from Tartaros was sadistic DiMaria isn't sadistic. She's always been cool calm and collected. It just feels more like Hiro trying to add comedy and keep showing Dimaria that she has an interest in women which there's nothing wrong with at all. However when the character has yet to be established as a threat he/she/it can't be taken seriously. All she's done is strip clothes which makes her giving Kagura the luxury of running away seem really stupid.  If she actually established herself as a badass warrior the story claims her to be and proved her worth then the audience could give her the benefit of the doubt when she let Kagura walk



I already said this but we should all just wait to see what Mashima has in store.

Liked the chapter, interested to see what happens next.

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.



Official name is Sherria. This has been confirmed
