II- Chapter 383: Wave Rider Lucy

This week's cover features all of our adorable Exceeds and Natsu dressed as the Great Demon-Lord Dragneel. Lector looks so kawaii~ The chapter begins with Lucy being hit with realization. She notices that she is inside a moving fortress and all of her comrades have been paralyzed. When Alegria releases a howl, Lucy can do nothing but listen to Mard as he announces that whoever kills Lucy will receive a promotion. Say what! Yup, you read that right. If you kill Lucy, the one everyone calls week, the Demon King himself will grant them a niceto title.

But Lucy isn't going to sit around. Nope, a mass of water comes into the room where she is and sweeps her along with the current. Lucy then grabs a wooden board and begins to...surf. Surf, ladies and gents! But not just regular surfing. She summons spirits and whatnot to fight off not 1, but 3 Demons! Eventually, however, she is overwhelmed by Jackal and his explosions. But that doesn't stop Lucy. Nope, she goes on to grab the key of her strongest spirit: Aquarius, and summons da kraken.

My thoughts on this chapter? Welps, I love it! Lucy was purely epic. I was sooo happy that she summonded Aqua with her power, not some random bullshit like "I'm using my own power." I am also glad that she is able to keep at it despite summoning three freaking spirits!!!  How do you rate Chapter 383? 1 2 3 I want a Lucy!!!

III- Chapter 384: Attack of the Celestials

We get an awesome color page this week! Freaking Aqua holding Lucy~ But that's not all. We also get an awesome color cover... with Natsu taking up almost the whole thing. >__>

The chapter quickly gets back into action. Aqua actually uses her water and does not attack Lucy while doing so. But while everything looks epic, the-demon-whose-name-i-can't-remember comes in to fuck everything up. Apparently he can swim through water (Juvia's future fight, anyone?) and is able to attack Aqua. From the sidelines, we see Loke and Aries getting killed by just one move. >__> This is why Aquarius rocks. She got slashed and is bleeding. But Loke and Virgo get hit and are already going back to the CSW. >__>

Jackal and the other two move in to kill Lucy, but Jackal only wants to play with her. The demon-whose-name-i-can't-remember leaves~ And Lamy gets face-boomed by Jackal, lol. ( .___.) And just then, Aqua returns. She notes that Lucy is able to summon three spirits. And tells her that she is able to summon the king of spirits! But Lucy does not have his key. Aqua tells her that in order to summon the dude she needs to destroy a golden key. Lucy refuses to do so, but Aqua volunteers her key. And after some emotional talk, Lucy does the unthinkable! She summons the king and loses Aqua's key. ;(

The king comes out of the nowhere and cuts Alegria in half. Meanwhile, Lucy is, like the rest of us, crying. ;~;

 How do you rate Chapter 384? 1 2 3 Aquarius ;~;

III- Chapter 385: The Celestial King vs. the Underworld King

This week we get a kawaii cover featuring Natsu and Wendy, as well as the other two Exceed.

The chapter is quick to get into the action! Man, it was so freaking fast, I thought I skipped a few pages. >__> But anyway, Mard and the king fight. Meanwhile Lucy is still facing Jackal. As Jackal moves in to attack, Lucy is protected by a water barrier. Who thought that was Juvia? Just me? Okay... Anyway, the king tells Lucy that he has granted her Aqua's power~ Kick-ass Lucy uses it to cast Urano Metria! Killing Jackal, I presume.

I thought this chapter was great! But I was upset over two things. One, it felt like it ended in 5 seconds. Two, I was hoping Lucy would use Aqua's power a bit more. I mean, you can control water for fuck's sake! Throw some tsunami around or something. I was a bit disappointed to see Urano Metria. I did not see it coming, but I hoped Lucy would use that move on rare occasions. Like, I love seeing it, but I hate to see it become something overused.
