On the bright side, Fairy Tail was good. I used to look forward to a new chapter every week. The best arcs were clearly Galuna, Phantom Lord, Fantasia, Oracion Seis and Edolas. Galuna was great because it had great character develeopment for Gray and we got to know a lot about Gray's past. Phatom Lord was by far the best arc in Fairy Tail. Master Jose reminds me of Kakuzu in a sense and Gajeel was beastly. Phantom Lord arc is also the only arc to ever develop Lucy as a character. But now, Lucy is all about tits and ass, which is not a good thing considering that she is expecte to live up to the standards of a main character. Fantasia is also very good. Thunder Tribe and Laxus going rouge was a huge plot twist that surprised everyone. We got to see Mirajane fight for the first time and we got the reveal of Mystogan. S rank vs S rank was insane. Mystogan and Jellal will always be my favorite characters. Laxus then had great character development when he grew up from a child who only sought power and girls to a guy who truly cares about the guild when he realized the reason that Fairy Law did not work on Magnolia. It was indeed a fabulous arc. Getting on to Oracion Seis, this was also a splendid arc. We got to see one of the Ten Saints fight, that alone is a huge plus. We got a new member of Fairy Tail. We also got character development for Jellal when he voluntarily turned himself in and gave Natsu the flame of rebuke. We also got a foreshadow of Natsu's EoS power. Zero specifically stated that Natsu has not unlocked the full potential of Dragon Force. Which means that the crazy stuff we saw do to beat Zero was only a fraction of Natsu's true power. Overall an enjoyable arc. Edolas; although it isn't too relevant to the main cast, it's still enjoyable. Who knew that there were other worlds? Who knew that Mystogan was a prince? Had a lot of huge shockers. It also had my favorite fight in the entire story, which was Erza vs Erza. I like that fight so much because it was all about skill. No fanservice or nakama power. All skill.
Now, we go to the downfall of Fairy Tail. Tenrou Island. There are so many problems with this arc that I don't even want to go deep. Basically, it was incredibly boring for about 70% of the arc. Why? Because of the Tenrou Tree itself. The Tenrou Tree was said to grant absolute protection to a Fairy Tail memeber. Which means that we already know for sure that they are going to win without a problem. Ultears flashback and back story was actually pretty good, but I do not like how it was handled in the middle of the fight. It's the same problem as Kabuto vs Uchiha brothers. The flashback totally downgraded the fight. Erza vs Asuma had pretty darn good action, but I did not dig the ending. It was not necessary to show the entire guild behind Erza. I did not dig that. Gildarts vs Bluenote, smh. Hiro Mashima skipped this epic fight and would rather show Lucy vs Kain. That was just a huge fail. And Master Hades was the biggest fail of the entire Grimmoire Heart. Why the hell would he fight on the place where his weakness is? Master Hades is supposed to be a smart man, but his actions definitely do not show that. The absolute best part about Tenrou Arc, was clearly Acnologia. This guy is the first ever person to not fall down from Fairy Tails friendship power. He goes up to the sky and destroys the island. It was an epic scene. But all that got downgraded when Mavis activated Fairy Sphere. At first it was ok, it was just a shield. But later on as Mavis explained how the shield works and that is that the shield gets stronger with the more feelings the guild has. smh. Now we go to the GMG arc, the worst arc in Fairy Tail. It can all be summarized into one sentence. Crappy ass fights. Jellal got trolled by Ultear via body link, smh. An S rank mage who is said to be on par with Erza, got beat by god damn Elfman, smh. Mirajane vs Jenny was just a complete waste of a chapter, smh. Laxus completely trolled Raven Tail. The next one is one of the worst things about this arc. Ichiya vs Baccus and Rocker. Smg, Hiro Mashima would rather spend a whole chapter on god dang Ichiya, rather than show Kagura vs Lyon. I like Ichiya, but Kagura vs Lyon would have been MUCH better. Natsu vs the Yaoi Dragon Slayers was horrible, it just shows these two were all talk and no action. Erza vs Kagura? Good action, but ended bad. We saw that Kagura can casually slice up towns, but all that got downgraded when the power of friendship trumped this slash. Gajeel vs Rogue was boring at first because of the Rogues back story. It was just boring. But when Shadow took over and when Gajeel went ISD, that started to spice up the fight. Then Gajeel did this epic roar into the sky to defeat Shadow. Average fight at best. Now we get on the the absolute worst fight in all of Fairy Tail. Laxus vs Jura. Omg I literally threw up when I read chapter 321. It was that bad. Jura gets all that hype, only to be defeated by a punch. Where is the logic in that? Back in Oracion Sris arc, Jura was able to tank a city block sized explosion, but it seems in here as Jura falls to one punch. smh. Jura didn't even use his Rumbling Mt. Fuji, by powerscaling this attack should easily defeat Laxus as the attack had 8/9 of the score of Fairy Glitter. But no, Hiro Mashima completely downgrades Laxus by saying Natsu's catch and suddenly defeating the quote on quote strongest human alive. It was complete bullcrap. Sting, no need to go into detail. The guy could have beaten team Fairy Tail because they were all drained. But no, this guy drops to his knees because he was scared. smh. The only good fight in the entire tournament was Kagura vs Yukino. All skill. Finally, Future Rogue. This guy is officially worse than Obito. He gave in to the dark side because of a cat. That is much worse than Obito's reasoning. Not only that, this dude was screwing around! He didn't even use his dragon force or WSD the second time he fought against Natsu. Yep, I went balls deep into this. Thanks for reading.
