User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 410: Memento Mori, Review and Commentary/@comment-24546844-20141123133659

I'm surpised at the lack of coments in this chapter's reviews, but well, I can't help but give my own thoughts on the thing. First, I like the puzzle but I found it hard to find some because the not so good quality in the scans and I'm not sure if the ones I found are the right one. but anyway, moving up.

I don't have many complaits on the fight per se, but I don't like it either. The point of this whole arc should be the fight between demons and humans. From what I see Natsu and Gray are sort of lacking in the "human" components. I mean, they're not even getting injured no matter what Marde throws at them, there's not even blood and they don't seem to be getting tired at all are they? They've been fighting since this arc started but there's no (great) sign of exaustion. Then when i think things couldn't be worse Marde throw a freakin huge tree at them, that thing is supposed to weight a ton or more and what's theyr reaction? They punch it until it explode. Not even magical punchs but thousands of regular punches and yet they manage to stop it. Even if we ignore the laws of inertia  it still makes little sense. And that's somethiing that could be solved by just making jump away from it.

My other complaint is still Gray's Devil Slayer magic. Before, I thought that it would only be a special property of his originl magic like, 100% critical strike chance agains demons. But now that i see him using it I realise that it came with a bunch of new moves. Moves that he didn't train to learn he just got a tatoo and somehow learned it all. On the other side it's good that he still uses some of his old moves, but I really hope that he loses the abillity to use Devil Slayer magic.

At the moment I have no coments in the curses nor the one magic yet so I think it's better to wait a little. But talking about Memento Mori well, I'm happy to see that I got it right in my last week coment when I sayd that it was "Marde's ultimate-unblockable-insta-kill-sure-to-fail curse", at least the first half of it. But I don't doubt that it was sure to fail because well, main characters.

Also as I've said last week the timer on Face is about to reach 00:00 and we have the uber powerfull Lumen Histoire that is a really convenient plot device because we don't really know what it does so it can do anything. What I was thinking about it is that Hiro is trying to stall the reveal of Lumen histoire to the maximum so it can coincide with some major event in Fairy Tail Zero.

Now about next chapter I guess we can expect the Face timer to reach zero and Lumen Histoire to be activated, Natsu and Gray unafected by Marde's curse or alternativelly we may see Gray and Natsu floating in some paralel universe looking for a way out. But I can't really think of a meaning to the name, maybe it has something to do with Zeref making a deal with someone. Well this is it, good work.
