User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 293: The Perfume I Give To You, Review.

Okay, this chapter wasn't too great, but it wasn't bad either. Did anyone else laugh their ass off at the cover? Maid Gray FTW!! Anyhow, on the first page of the chapter we see that the date is once again X791 so hopefully that ends you guys' conspiracy theories that Mashima is changing something as big as the date in the manga to suit anime crap. >_> The first match was as we all predicted Ichiya and Bunny vs. Bacchus and Rocker. The Rabbit reveals it's identity, as Jenny and Hibiki make out, and it is... Nichiya. Someone guessed it an they were right. Congrats!! Poor, you worked so hard on his article just to have it merged. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Everyone point and laugh at him! Anyhow, everyone is shocked to see two Ichiya's...sorta. Even Erza falls out, which was hilarious, btw. Nichiya begins to tell the story of how he and Ichiya met when Bacchus bitch slaps him! For doing us all that big favor, I've now forgiven Bacchus. Alright, Bacchus and Rocker then start to team up on poor Ichiya until he reaches a whole new level of ugly and starts to fight back. Effectively defeating them both in one punch and simultaneously proving that Quatro Puppy is the crappiest guild in existence. Next up is Kagura and Millianna vs. Lyon and Yuka. Kagura holds back and the match ends in a tie. I can't wait to see this woman go all out. O_O Anyhow, she scolds Millianna telling her that if the battle they fought was a match to the death, Lyon would have killed her and that Millianna needs to get stronger. And now, the battle we've all been waiting for. Sting and Rogue vs. Natsu and Gajeel. I can't wait to see how this turns out. And the best part of this chapter: IGNEEL FINALLY SHOWS HIS FACE!! Well, we've seen it before, but It's good to see it again. :) He mentions the Dragon King Festival. Now, I'm really curious as to what the hell it is. Overall, this chapter, as I said earlier, was just okay, I was a disappointed that Mashima skipped one fight and made another extremely short, but I guess I'll have to get over it. >_>
