Now the people who were complaining about the war not being dark enough can kindly shove it.

sabertooth is the second strongest guild in the world



So if sting, rogue and Minerva are down

Then team b don't stand a chance, Mira and gajeel can't do it while protecting their loved one



Levy should not be here

...What?



Pretty sure that fights like Jura vs Orga and Kagura vs Yukino showed that Saber was practically all bark and no bite.  Sting and Rogue were stomped by a base Natsu and Marde once he got serious, and for all her machinations Minerva couldn't beat Erza even when she had a crushed leg and was fatigued from fighting Kagura.



Also it's Fiore, not the world.

Do we have an explanation as to why aren't the Dreyars using their Fairy Law?



Cost a lot of mp to use its a big spell

The crucified scene is probably an illusion. Wouldn't make any sense if it wasn't.



They got decimated.



There were three Spriggans in the North followed by thousands of soldiers.

No way! Both Sabertooth and Pegasus were defeated??

Ah, I see. So it felt forced to make an impact to some. I thought people were just doing the whole 'nobody does in FT' again. I get it now.



It felt forced and it lacked any impact. Everything before that had a lot to do with that.



When you  have supposedly scary villain barking like a dog and another "unbeatable" and powerful guy who faced Four Gods Ishval get defeated because he can't look at breasts, it is kind of hard to take seriously stuff like here. Especially not after the convenient nonsense with Natsu's tumor, Laxus poisoning, Urtear's random reappearance, etc.



That scene with the army etc would have worked in tartaros arc where the villains were set up to be unrestrained and actually dangerous. Where you felt there are stakes. Hell, even in Phantom Lord arc it worked because of the build up and threat.



Here? All we have seen of Spriggans so far is them fooling around and doing outright silly shit. There's no tension to even justfy this being a war, let alone that scene having impact.

Also why did Zeref take hostages? Wouldn't it be better for him if he killed everyone instead of letting them live? This decision could kick him in the butt in the future but I gues this is Fairy Tail and thats why they live xd

It's especially weird considering he's doing the same thing he said was a weakness of Fairy Tail.



Its also completely and utterly unfit for how Spriggans were portrayed till now. Ajeel and Brandish showed no restraint or care for casualties. That mecha guy was okay with blowing up an entire town.



Now suddenly they take hostages. It makes absolutely no sense and it is done solely so those characters survive.





If Mashima had killed them all off this chapter, I would have fucking applauded him tho. Now that would have made shit go real...

The last third of the chapter was so random & lifeless.



If Jellal doesn't neg diff loses to this pleb... I'm still gonna keep reading this.





2/5

Pff...Don't get ridiculous! There's no way they are dead! Mashima will never kill any of his characters, because this is a fluffy echi shounen/shoujo  nakama parody of manga. They're fine, beaten up, but fine( if this isn't a illusion)



S.n. (Deep in my heart I hope that someday Mashima will start massacring his characters )
