User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 361: The Two Bombs, Review.

The chapter cover featured Eve.... moving on. :/

The chapter begins with Michello showing just how much of a coward he really is. When Natsu goes down, he hauls ass out of their and leaves his granddaughter behind. Which, I have to admit, is pretty funny. :D With Natsu down, Wendy and Lucy try to fight Jackal. He easily negates Wendy's Dragon Slayer Roar as well as Scorpio's attacks when Lucy summons him. Apparently, members of Tartarus don't use Magic, they use curses for attacking. Jackal makes quick work of Wendy and Lucy and then goes after Michello, but, Lucy gets up and goes to chase after Jackal. She's got some big balls. Good for her. ^__^

Elsewhere, Michello tries to get the towns people, who have never met him, to hide him, but Jackal finds him pretty quickly. Lucy arrives and tries to help, but Jackal catches her in a landmine curse. He then catches two townspeople in some kind of bomb, and tells Lucy she'll have to pick which one lives. -____- What a terribly cliche plot twist. Although, thumbs up to Yummy for predicting this....kinda. Michello starts begging for his life, and frankly, I wish Lucy would let him die. He's a despicable kind of guy really. Before Lucy can make a choice, Natsu shows up. -____- Way to ruin a good chapter, Mashima. Michello starts rejoicing about how he survived, and then Natsu knocks him out. No complaints here. >_> In the midst of saving everyone, Natsu touches Jackal, but this time, he eats the explosion before it knocks him out?

Overall, this was a meh kind of chapter. Natsu should have stayed knocked out, and if he actually manages to do well against Jackal, I'll be pissed.
