User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 335: The Time of Life, Review.

Before I start my review. I'd like to make two announcements. Firstly, you all remember last year that whole fiasco with me not being able to graduate because of a screw up with Community Service, right? Well, I just wanted to let you all know that I graduated!!! Although, I wasn't ranked first in my class this year like last year..... I was ranked fifth. ( ._.) Any jokes about this, and I'm blocking someone. My second announcement is that I will be going to Japan next year! I'm really excited about this. I'm going to show Japan what black people look like. :D

Anyhow, on to the chapter! The chapter was pretty good and the cover was sexy. :3 But the title of the chapter coupled with the name of the chapter kind of gave away what was going to happen. I think everyone's prediction about Ultear sacrificing her life for Gray's was true. But, we shall see. The chapter begins with some pretty despairing moments: Bacchus getting his ass beat, Jet crying out in agony because Droy isn't breathing, Romeo being dragged away while watching his father being killed by Motherglare's Dragon babies, and Juvia's pain at Gray's "death." Lyon tearfully calls out to Chelia to try to get her to come heal Gray, but, there's no answer and even if there was, it would be futile since he's "dead."

Elsewhere, Ultear is sulking about the evil life she lived, and decides that she doesn't deserve to live. And then we get a flashback to her younger years with Grimoire Heart. She was a cute teen. :3 She apparently did a lot of research of Time Magic while searching for Arc of Time, and she found a Spell called Last Aegis that could rewind time at the cost of the user's life. -_____- Really Mashima? That's awfully convenient. Hades commanded her not to use it because it would rewind time in exchange for her life, and Ultear agreed. In present time, Ultear decides she finally wants to use it and she does. She wants to rewind time to before the gates were opened. My question is: does everyone keep their memory of what happened? If not, then she wasted her life for nothing because history is just going to repeat itself.

Ultear casts the spell and the damage it does to her body is.... unnerving. This is extremely inappropriate, but I just have to say it: Any of you willing to hit that now?Anyway, with her spell cast, Ultear checks to see if time actually rewinded, but it only did one minute, which is just enough time for Gray's life to be saved. In your faces bitches!!!! Jak was right!!! He's always right!!!! Muwhahahahahahaha!!!!!!! *calms down* Gray and Lyon intercept the attack that was supposed to kill Gray and all was right with the world. Although, I bet someone was very pissed. :) Anyhow, so it turns out Ultear managed to save a good many lives. Two of which were not worth saving in my opinion. >_> It's just sad that she'll never know what her sacrifice was worth. Unless there's an afterlife in Fairy Tail.

All in all, I'm not a big fan of the whole rewinding time business, but I liked everything that Mashima did with the "one minute" scenario. Although I'm sure the scenario will get some mixed reviews. Plus, I think Ultear's one minute rewind is a lot better than everyone going back to X784 at the end of this arc. >_> Did anyone else love seeing Wendy and Laxus fighting together? It was adorable. :3
