You're supposed to be more late... Stop shattering expectations. >.< Also, any sexy and powerful woman who is not a confirmed lesbian (and sometimes even them) is your type of woman. Stop pretending you have taste.

No rant about retarded people who spoil others? We really need to make that policy a bit more... visible... Any way all blogs can have unobtrusive floats reminding people to not spoil others? Just a suggestion...

* copies and pastes*

The Chapter was... incredibly bad. One-shot county. \( ._.)/

Kagura: No, cutting Simon doesn't mean she did anything. Simon is lower than fodder at this point. Despite hating Kagura, as a Minerva fan, I can actually sympathize with Kagura fans. Well, unlike Minerva, at least Kagura is still at 100%, so she'll mp be there supporting Jerza against Eileen.

Jellal: Ummm, bro, you're the one who immediately figured out that Simon is an impostor. You just got flustered for a second, but would've attacked immediately afterwards, right? Right? 'Cuz the setup certainly makes it look as if you had frozen. >.>

Neinhart: This guy's Magic is... hax? In what world? He's the second coming of Vidaldus. If he went up against Mira, with nobody else on the battlefield, he's simply get Kyôka and Azuma. The former would be a power-up and the latter breakfast. This guy is pathetic.

Gray & Lyon vs. Ur: I'm glad that Gray ended this with IDSM. That's shut up all the people who thought that these two were holding back. They are weak, simple as that. Face it. And, tbh, I don't mind that. Weak doesn't mean bad, unless they hinder other characters due their own stupidity. But, please, don't have Gray, Lyon, Meredy and Juvia go up against a Shield. Even all four together. If they do, let them be in supporting roles to absolute powerhouses like Gildarts, Laxus, Jellal, Erza, Natsu, etc. If they go up against a Shield (any Shield, not just Invel) on their own, no matter the course of the battle, it'll be absolute BS. Not that this confrontation wasn't BS. It was a classic FT BS battle. Good guys get trashed. Opponent is at 100%. Good guys give speech. Good guys OHKO opponent. The worst thing is... MY LOVELY UR GOT DRAGGED INTO THIS SHITFEST! T_T

Meredy & Juvia vs. Zancrow & Keyes: W-what happened? Did Meredy just pull of her own version of Unison Raid? Dammit, and I hate UR already. Pure, distilled, nakama powah! Let's just forget that Keyes can pretty much dodge all attacks and Zancrow can pretty much incinerate all attacks. 'Cuz PoF! The stench of BS is so goddamn overwhelming.

Wendy vs. Ezel: Wait, didn't Wendy use up all her energy healing Carla? How in the world did she suddenly get enough power to not only go DF, but also defeat Ezel? And Ezel is getting blitzed by an injured Carla?! Mashima, plz stop stuff forgetting stuff you mentioned only a few Chapters back so that you can show your bias towards these twerps. >.>

Laxus vs. Hades: Seriously? Seriously?! The guy's body is falling apart, he's been beaten up bad by Wahl and then her up and punches down friggin' Hades?! I love Laxus enough to make up my own explanations to stomach Laxus vs. Wahl, but this takes the entire bakery! e_e

Brandish & Natsu: I don't even know anymore. Or care. .-.

Lucy: The woman who has fallen the worst post-Tartaros. Yes, we realize that you're Natsu's woman, but that doesn't mean you go along with all his idiotic schemes. If you wanted to support him, you should have helped Gray and Laxus convince Makarov to let them go after Natsu. Because Natsu had a huge power-up to use at that point, and Gray and Laxus were also in top form. But of course you can't agree with anybody who's not your man. *sighs* Mashima's shipping ruins characters more than anything else. Sure, it might be a bit harsh to blame this on the ship, but Imma not give it the benefit of the doubt.

Irene/Eileen: Honestly, unlike most people, I'm actually glad that we have this new plotline. Sure, it's pretty cliche, but what are the other things I have to look forward to? A pathetic war, a Zeref plotline I have no interest in and Acnologia's arrival, which has been delayed far too much to not become plot-convenient BS later on. So woohoo for the new plotline, which should, if nothing else, at least be better than the utterly ridiculous Layla one. 'Cuz, considering Erza's monstrous inherent power, it's not really that far a stretch that she comes from a bloodline which has also produced a Shield of Spriggan. However, my excitement is tempered by the fact that this plotline revolves around characters who are far too dull for me to care about.

Bright side: Yes there is. The absurd, rotten and utterly pathetic Hargeon battle, featuring Dimaria and Neinhart, two of the most lameass enemies seen, has finally ended! Rejoice! \( ^_^)/

Interesting parts:
 * Did Mashima just forgot Gray's markings? Or is there some other meaning to it? Maybe those markings, while related to IDSM, don't actually signify its usage? He suppresses them and they appear only when he is not restricting himself? That'd be cool. Of course, only if the reason he suppresses them is some bad outcome, of course. Otherwise it'd be lame. 'Cuz I really really want to see Gray become a villain, hopefully voluntarily.
 * Irene's claw cosplay is cool. Not an interesting part, but a cool one. :3
 * What are the six monsters? I sincerely hope it doesn't refer to some of the Spriggan 12. Personally, I'd like it to be:
 * Acnologia along with 5 friends. 'Cuz the Spriggan 12 are far too pathetic to be taken seriously. Acnologia coming to own the battlefield with 5 friends in tow would be awesome! Plus, guy can't seriously spend all his time alone on Mt. Zonia, right? :3
 * Gildarts along with 5 friends. They then wipe the field with the remaining members of the Spriggan 12 and help keep Zeref at bay. I mean, Fiore can't be the only country with powerful Mages, right? This is Alvarez vs. Ishgar, after all.
 * Alvarez Empire has designated six major battle powers (heh): Mavis, Gildarts, Laxus, Jellal, Erza and Natsu. Honestly, the Spriggan 12 are the dullest group of villains to be introduced in FT. "Hurr durr, we strong, we smash!" And, after a few moments, "Gwahhh, impossible!" Even a semblance of a strategy would give them at least a hint of flair.

That... got long. O_O Maybe I actually liked the Chapter more than I let on? Seeing Risley and the MH gals ignore the sky in favour of the cold was pretty funny, after all. I'd give the Chapter a 2/10. Only for the Ultear focus in Gray's memories. Thank goodness Juvia was relegated to a corner in the back. /o/ If you actually read this far (or skipped to the end), have a tub of waffles. ( ^_^)>\##/
