User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 376: Wendy vs. Ezel, Review.

The chapter cover was nice. It was good to have something non-Guild Cardy for a change.

Anyhow, the chapter begins with Natsu and Lucy facing off against Franmalth who is bragging about his comrades's strength and how Face will put an end to all Mages, and Lucy thinks that it's all in Wendy's hands. -___- I love Wendy an all, but she's the last person I'd be comfortable trusting the fate of the world to. Not that Lucy and the others had a choice in the matter. >_>

Elsewhere, Wendy continues her search for Face and Ezel jumps out and tries to attack her. Wendy tries to run, but she knows that she'll have to fight, so she prepares for battle (looking semi-epic I might add). She tries to attack Ezel, but they have no effect on him and Ezel defeats her pretty easily, and is about to crush her when Carla comes and tries her best to save Wendy. Adorable. :3 The entire moment is adorable until Ezel decides to eat Carla. Not cool, man. Not cool. But at that moment, Wendy absorbs the Eternano rich air in the cave and attains Dragon Force!!!! GO WENDY!!!!

Overall, this was a pretty good chapter. I was wondering how Mashima was going to have Wendy not lose this battle and I think he did it in a pretty good way actually. Natsu has absorbed something super-powerful and gotten the strength necessary to beat his opponents numerous times before, so there's nothing wrong with our dear little Wendy doing the same. :D And I think this is a lot better than having someone come in and save Wendy because it gives her a moment to shine.
