It's forgotten a lot, but really Lucy's got INSANE MANA. She just always ends up having to use crazy amounts of it for that stupid mega nuke, which never works anyway. If she just stays out of that spell, then she's practically a rape train depending on the spirit schedules.

>>79794
Wait, I was under the impresion the big nuke spell was only used once so far. How does it ''always fail'?

>>79804
Twice. Once it just didn't finish the girl in Oracon Seis, and then here it got intercepted before it could finish.

Thank you for flashing the entire audience, Minerva.

Well that went quickly.

Well that answers that question.

Thunder God Slayer confirmed.

Nude Erza

>>80692
This is nothing new or unusual.

>>80692
Gerard's bullshit hurts too much. This is supposed to be so emotional, and I just can't give a damn. If this is what Erza is now, maybe it is time to go.

>>80698

Erza has always been plagued with survivor's guilt. This isn't really a new development for the character, she's always been the first one to accept blame for the faults of others or actions beyond her control. In her mind, she feels like she really is responsible for the misdeeds of Gerard, the death of Simon, etc. It's a character flaw to be sure, but let's not overstate things here by writing her off completely. Her sense of responsibility and duty is an integral part of who she is.

>>80702
I know I'm supposed to think that, but fuck. The whole chapter's about how she's protecting him, the story keeps going to how they're in love, about how they accidentally grope each other and now he's such a hero. I can't take this much of a favorite character wrapping around and revolving entirely around one so shitty.

>>80704

Understandable. Personally, I try to dwell more on the Lucy/Erza shipping moments instead.

>>80707
....Erza and Kagura's lovechild?

>>80547
Late but, was the black lightning not a dead givaway?

Once again, an issue that could have been resolved much earlier reveals itself now for the sake of dramatic tension.

Elaborate.

I enjoy total scumbag sadistic villians like Minerva too much.

>>80931
Erza was her savior all along.
Not bad, just maybe a little hackneyed.

Oh Juvia you adorable little psychopath/idiot

Oh look. Another person who maybe a bad guy disguised as a good guy but is actually a bad good guy.

So how about that climax? Rather anti-climactic, eh?

I'm liking the twists and intrigue of the time-travel plot.

Did anyone here play Fire Emblem Awakening? It was released in Japan a year ago, I think.

Edit: Name of game spoiled in case anyone cares about the game's plot.

Here there be dragons.

>>81617
Yeah this is just straight up ripped from FEA. It was cool seeing the Celestial Mages at least?

Well I didn't see THIS coming.

>>82583
Oh hey, it's... that guy. Yeah. Him. How... unexpected.

>>82587

Apparently he was quite popular in the anime, enough to warrant some filler episodes.

How lewd.

>>82737
I love the one dude covering his nipples.

>>82737
Turnabout is fair play, I s'pose.

UNNNFF!!

Okay, no. You cannot have a branching timeline and stable time loops in the same story. That just makes zero sense.

>>83138
Seriously, I get what was going for but it's like trying to mash two time travel plans together.

If you return to the past via a branched timeline all you do is make a new timeline, you don't return to the actual past.

>>83138
The thing you have to understand is that time is sort of like a great big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey....stuff.

Actually it makes sense if the original future is wiped out by the new one, and Lucy who went back in time is essentially orphaned from it. Rogue then comes back from the future that was created by Lucy's interference.

It's just depicted as branching because that's the simplest way to represent it visually.

~OOOOOO WATCHU SAAAAYYYYYYY

THAT YOU ONLY MEANT WELLLLLLLL BECAUSEYOUDID~

And then it never stopped raining, for hundreds of years till the ruins of the old world drowned... Then one day a little boy in a green tunic...

>>83299
... what?

>>83309
He's referencing Zelda.

>>83310
Yeah, I got that, I just fail to see how that relates to what happened in any way.

>>83313
What happens when Juvia is sad

>>83314
Aahhhhhhhhh...

What was he going to tell her?

The initial Juvia curveball was one of my favorite little moments in early Fairy Tail, but since then it's just been a free dumb gag every now and then.

Oh hey, Dragons are weak to Fairy Types.

Other mangaka take breaks, Mashima makes three chapters in a week.
