Oh

Oh

OOOOOOOH

Where do I even being with this chapter? Well, Brandish is further getting FT-fied. Natsu was kinda cute, but then after we see Brandish' panties, Brandish warns them of August. I honestly don't understand the whole August the month of calamity thingy, like, was August named after it because of how powerful he is supposed to be?



Anyways, Makarov is scolded for following the usual ways of Fairy Tail, aka destroying the guild. Laki's gonna be useful for the first and last time in this war. So August blocking the magic radio waves or w/e so now the HQ is basically blind. But it's k, because they know the mfker is coming their way anyways. :'D Meanwhile, Cana is supposed to assist in Mavis' ghost suicide. I'm still not sure where her plan is coming from... kids, the 'she's gonna strip for some Zeref nosebleed' one is old at this point, but the whole getting Fairy Glitter'd outta the crystal thing seems legit.



Yep, this chapter is actually full of stuff and is jumping from one place to another, which is actually a good thing, because we finally see some for-a-while forgotten characters. We have northern Fiore and the group of Gajeel, Levy, Lily, Mira, Lisanna and Elfman as they are approached by Alvarez' army.



And then

AND THEN

AND THEN

Honestly, I was blown away. I didn't expect this. Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus friggin' crucified.



It was shocking, but at the same time, I have mixed feelings. I mean... it's a good thing that Alvarez has finally accomplished something, but I feel really bad for Sabertooth. They literally got fodderized, especially the Twins who are eventually supposed to face Acnologia... Like, what happened? I wonder if we'll see a flashback or this is another offscreen'd thing. Meanwhile, Hargeon, and Gray, Juvia, Lyon and Meredy continue to be on the level of fodder... Nice. Do notice Sherria tending to Wendy's wounds the 'normal' way. :(



Finally, Jellal, Erza and Kagura reach the ship with Neinheart on it. When suddenly. It. Gets. Dark.

Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It's Simon.

Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MASHIMA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That stupid theory can't be tr-

Jellal: He a fake.

* Neinhart with an absolutely ridiculous design appears*

Me: THANK GOD.

Seriously, I was ready to blow up. Let. Simon. Rest. In. Peace. I'm not even mad that Neinheart doesn't look badass ... like at all. ( ._.) I guess Kagura vs. Jellal will finally be resolved in this fight though. Now it doesn't seem as interesting as before. O well.
