Fairy Tail Chapter 487 Discussion

Really liked this chap, though that reaper's magic was a bit... I don't know. But Gajeel confessed... in his mind. Levy didn't hear him but it's still good. The next chapter's title seems interesting.

But I want to see Oracion Seis and Eileen. Hope we get to see them next chap.

guess you are kinda right. I was referring to full-on war with  a lot of filler battles and random power ups, more or less.



Honestly after finishing Naruto and consistenly reading One Piece I can safely say that this is an inherent problem with war arcs.Do you remember who fought at Marineford? Remember how every General (fodder guy) was named.



War arcs in general media, sacrifice time that could be spent on characterization for the sake of showcasing it´s magnitude and scale. Focusing on collective screentime over character development or story progression. Authors cannot really win writing them, because investing too much time on exposition gives it an unrealistic feeling, due to a lack of urgency and without it the audience doesn´t know why things are at stake. Because they aren´t experiencing it. Even Lord of the Rings or The Song of Ice and Fire are guilty of this. It´s an Art to make this filler interesting and not always will audiences agree.



The pacing issues are a common problem of Fairy Tail and not tied to the war arc.

The Bleach war arc suffers from a different pacing problem that is the same that the Dressrosa in One Piece had, lack of focus. B plots are getting started before the A plot is finished and this at a snails pace. Fairy Tail doesn´t have this issue, it´s the opposite. It´s like a balloon being filled rapidly, with hot gas, but instead of bursting when reaching its climax it lets the air flow out casually. Leaving it´s audience with blue balls.

So...Serena was absorbed somehow by August...or then he took the Lacrimas Serena has insinde of him.



Yeah...I just hope Lucy and Natsu are bad Sensor...if they are now in August level I will get pissed off...



NOW WE ARE Talking about....Bradman is Awesome!!! USING ALL TARTAROS CURSE POWERS!!! and Gajeel and Levy are taking a beating!!! I actually hope they lose. Would be awesome!! and really Show us Power of the Sprrigan...but Bradman So Far ahs been impressive...and awesome!



....and GAJEEL ADMITTED THAT HE LIKES/LOVES LEVY!!! IT'S OFFICIAL!



...So....Gajeel make ultimate Sacrifice for Power to defeat Bradman....Gajeel will not rise form this even if he defeats Bradman....Bradman got hype somewhat back and Gajeel only won by this Sacrificial move.

Fairy Tail has gone full Bleach mode in this arc.



Elaborate please.



However unpredictability also leads to asspulls which is worse, not that aspulls matter anymore in Bleach or Fairy Tail.



No I´m honestly not joking.


No one predicted Aizen sitting in a chair for 50 chapters



Fairy Tail on the other hand, has a narrative that everyone who thinks a little,sees coming.



Define asspuill please because that´s such a buzzword. If you mean Deus ex machina, well thas true, though Mashima has a chance to excuse his bullshit with a reveal I´m assuming will explain everything.(Not that it´s well written).

So why didn't Bradman use Macro or Kyouka's sensation curse on Gajeel?

That's some plot induced stupidity out there. DF Gajeel is a big time asspull powerup considering he was able to consumbe anti-magic particles. BS. This is as bad as Natsu's fights are in general.



Gajevy still is weird ass pairing. Loli and a raditz wannabe getting it on.It was stated like 2 arcs ago that Magic-barrier particles have metal in them. Dragonslayer magic enhances to dragon force when it comes into contact with a powerful version of their magic element. For example, the air from face for Wendy and Sacred Fire for Natsu. Gajeel's was the third seal particles. That's not an asspull in anyway, that's just story telling.



He still inhaled poison. Iron differs from metal. No matter how you want to argue in favour of this BS fight.

Who are you referring to - Dark or ziggy?



The one I quoted, both of them reference the spoilers of chapter 488 a storyline Hiro Mashima has done literally the same way in Ravemaster.



Hiro Mashima trolling audiences since 16 years!This will release a major shitstorm when it gets revealed with half the fandom raging and the other half including me claiming I told you so.
