User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Chapter 472: Laxus vs. Wahl, Review/@comment-24546844-20160208193502

Nice, action packed chapter with some bad lines, nothing much to say about it but it was good I guess. As expected, Wahl has the upper hand but has to literally go serious not to be taken by surprise. I actually liked that he can change his own personality, that makes him an interesting enemy that won't be fooling around underestimating his enemies. On the other hand, I can't be the only one who thinks Hiro isn't good at making "super modes". As fas as I can remember almmost all the super modes he's done have that detail that decreases the coolness points, this time it's the head and the legs.

There's only one line that caught my interest in the whole thing and that I'm almost sure will be source to my future disapointment: "Setting Laxus as sole target". I can already see Wahl going in for the kill only to be taken by surprise by someone else, and while trying to override this command he gets taken out. I hope Hiro doesn't be so predictable like this. Also, I don't see a reason for Laxus' illess to trigger right now except for drama purposes and seriously this will only make it worse if he escapes.

This chapter almost confirmed Dimaria's magic to be time manipulation-related. This may settle last weks debate abut Dimaria's, Wendy's and Kagura's speed but raises a much bigger question: if it's confirmed that her magic is indeed time manipulation and not something similar to Racer's magic, how do you defeat someone who can do this? I mean, It's not even speed blitz it's just blink and you die. And as I'm actually sure that she isn't bluffing about killing Wendy and Sherria in a split second how can they escape as realistically speaking they shoud have no way to counter Dimaria?

And about Erza and Kagura heading to Neinhart, smart move as it seems there are no strong subordinates like Marin around so with the Spriggans out there will be only fodder. I'm actually fearing that the (absurdly stupid if you ask me) theory of Simon being alive and having turned into a Spriggan might actually be true and this will be a dramatic encounter of the three. Please Hiro, don't, that'd be really idiot.

"Red lightning" can mean three things to me: None of them would really be good I guess, so I expect Hiro to surprise me though I better not get my hopes up. Happy Carnival if you celebrate it wherever you are (even though I don't but hey, it's a free holiday). See ya.
 * Laxus learned a new magic a la Totomaru that has a completelly different effect than his normal lightning, like "non-eletric eletricity" (?????).
 * It's just symbolism for Laxus using his last remaining strenght to fight Wahl while being killed by the disease, the red being his blood staining his vision.
 * The red lightning is Wahl's attack and it's of a kind that Laxus can't eat.
