User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 427: Pitched Underground Battle, Review and Commentary/@comment-24546844-20150407010347

Wow I'm so late today... Well, I guess this chapter just support my dislike towards Natsu especially after this timeskip. Ok, not many of us were really interested in Avatar but seriously, this chapter just turned them into jokes. I was excited aboutthis chapter mainly because I really wanted to see Gajeel (who didn't even appeared), but then we get this...

Ok I may be one of the few guys here who didn't like Virgo's masoquism realated jokes. Yeah it's a bit fun but they just seem out of place and/or exagerated to me considering that they weren't like this the first times it they were invoked. This doesn't mean I don't like her character, I like her a lot but I don't find her punishment jokes as fun anymore.

The "battle". Seriously, I wonder if this is what Hiro really was planning from the start. I mean, what's the point of introducing villains that don't pose a treat to the main character? Ok, he's really trying to hype Natsu for this arc but for what? What will come after his fight with Gray?

Talking about Gray, it looks like he have no problem about fighting Natsu at this point so at least I hope Hiro will give us a decent match. And while I was thinking about it i realised the point of pitting the two of them so early. During the fight Gray will realise there's something wrong with his Devil Slayer mgic against Natsu: it's causing too much damage. That will be the first clue he'll get towar E. Natsu D.. Alternativelly Natsu is this strong because he is really tappping on the E.N.D. powers so during the fight Grays IDSM will dsomehow weaken Natsu's demonic powers and he will become more balanced.

Anyway, IMO this chapter sucked and served no other purpose then to show that Natsu is boringly OP and the new villains are jokes. Hope we can see some Gajeel next chapter, and also hope Gray won't come with some stupid speech about how he doesn't care about his friends anymore because his only purpose on life is to defeat Itachi E.N.D.. Yep, this is it, bye.
