...Let's do this... ... ...

Man... What a chapter...!!! I was just left mindblown at the end, in the sense that I couldn't organise coherently what I had just read. Even now, there were just so many parts to this chapter that I'm going to divide my review:


 * Can I first just say that I totally noticed that a page was missing from Panda's translation. I said this to Mega on Skype and I even pinpointed the page that was missing and what would be on it ;D I am awesome :3
 * I am VERY happe the chapter came early :D :D :D
 * Speaking of predictions, I was correct that the Council linked people without telling them *pumps arms* Hell yeah, I rock!! >:)
 * Erza and Mira: Well, what to say? They were just awesome the whole chapter. Even though I said earlier that if Erza wasn't going after Jellal I'd be mad, I'm not really... probably because it was addressed nicely. Like, Erza's comment to me pretty much said "If I knew where he was I probably would go after him, but because I don't, me wandering around being useless is useless, so for now I'll be here". I think it was smart. It was of course nice to see the two together fighting, and I think their little sections were well-paced and very nicely done. Dat panel with them both being badasses and glaring everyone down = awesomeness. As for them being taken out - it was a nice twist I didn't see coming, but now I'm wondering what's going to happen. See, if they do get taken to Tartarus then they are going to be out of the story for a while, which seems odd. On the other hand, Natsu could rescue them/they save themselves, but that seems stupid (if Natsu) and kind of a letdown (if Erza and Mira), so I'm not sure what I want to happen really :/
 * Crawford: Man... what a slut XD I was kind o__O wtf about his character design too XD Anyways, him working for Tartarus is a nice twist, and if he was working for them for some time it could also help explain how Jackal so easily massacred Era. I mean, Crawford could have given him info on secret access points, places of low guards and times for meetings and different things. As such, I think it is a move that makes sense, so thumbs up Mashima. I'm just wondering if the guy has any actual powers though, because otherwise he's going to become a Natsu punching bag ( -__-)
 * Elfman and his group: HAHAHAHAHAHA!! Lisanna's still being choked :P Damn, just kill her already Elfman. Anyways, this little scene was interesting I guess, though I want to know where this plot point with the souls is going. Can Sayla manipulate people with limits if they are unwilling, but consume their mind and body completely if they offer it?? Hmmmm... cause if so maybe Elfman is in trouble :/ Goddamn it Lisanna... you see how stupid and useless and lame you are now??
 * Doranbolt: Okay... I'll admit it... I have been LOVING Doranbolt in this arc. I hated the man before because he was so political, so stupid and methodical, but this new badass could maybe even make my list of fav characters if he keeps his awesomeness up for this whole arc. As we predicted, he let the OS go, but I think it needed to be done. Oh! Have I mentioned that Doranbolt and Jellal are like my BrOTP now?? Damn, they make a pretty awesome team - the political genius basically running the Council and the sexy criminal mongrel helping him out ;D Love it!! <3 <3 <3
 * The OS Returns: Yay!! I am loving their comeback, especially since Mashima took every dodgy thing the anime team did to their character designs and made it cool again - in particular Racer ;D That being said, I don't like Hoteye's new look D; But damn Midnight is looking sexy :D And that's saying something because I don't really like the guy. As for the getting rid of Brain, I liked it :) I mean, I don't even know if the OS is remaking their guild - in fact, I hope they aren't cause then we don't need more lame pages. It seems to me that Cobra and the rest are more set on just being free, though I do see them all making a team of sorts with Jellal and Meredy... This being said...
 * JELLAL AND MEREDY: HOLY FUCK they made the chapter for me :D :D :D I have always said this to people who try and say that Jellal has changed since losing his Zeref possession: to me, Jellal never lost that basassery that he originally had - his personality has always been really kinda adventurous and the like. So as soon as he lost that possession of Zeref, I knew he would slowly ebb back to that determined personality, just without the whole Zeref-loving. As such, I was ecstatic to see him here being a badass with the OS * ^ * It's just so... him... and I'm glad to see this side of him returning, because I think we'll get some awesome battles with him, Meredy and the OS very soon. They are like the awesome-black-ops-undercover-Tartarus-stalking team that FT failed to be XD I love it and I can't wait to see more :3
 * Natsu: God damn it... This was the only part of the chapter I didn't really like. I mean, sure, okay... fine, let Natsu figure out something might be wrong... but let him contact the guild or something. Him rushing off after his battle to go save Erza and Mira really irks me. I hope he gets there and finds nothing and is forced to go back to FT, because if he arrives and saves Erza and Mira... I will be really pissed. He's already had his sort of fight for the early arc... LEAVE IT AT THAT!! With Mashima pulling out all of these characters we love and having them do all this awesome stuff, it annoys me that Natsu STILL is hogging the spotlight when there is an ocean of characters more suited (brain-wise) and more appropriate (location and condition-wise) to figure out this plot point and react. Why Natsu? ( -__-) Damn...
 * The next chapter: Well, the title of the next chapter is intriguing... Is it going to be about Mira and Erza... or some sort of link to the OS and Jellal? It could even be a slight mistranslation and be more along the lines of "Fairy imprisoned", which could hint at Elfman being trapped by Sayla :3 So many possibilities and I can't wait!!!

Sooooo... this seems kinda long, but it was an awesome chapter, so there was a lot to say. I'm interested what these other teams of Juvia, Gajeel, Levy etc are going to do now that they have no goal, because they are all going to have to come in at some point ;D But mostly, I just want to see what has happened to Minerva, and follow the CS/OS badass team of fucking awesomeness, because right now, these two things are keeping me engaged the most :3

Oh, and Lisanna can die and Natsu fall out of the sky when Happy gets exhausted ;D Just an idea Mashima...

Oh, and while I'm at it, have Jellal and Erza meet up at some point :3 Pleeeeaaaseeee!!

Oh, and have Meredy use her Magic!

Oh, and have Angel in the possession of some new CS keys :D

Oh! And what happened to poor Pojo? Is he going to run back to the guild, subsequently warning everyone in the classic way that something is wrong??

Oh! And bring Silver in again ;D I like him :3

I think this is the end...

Carrot out... bitches~
