User blog comment:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 321: Laxus vs. Jura, Review./@comment-4449950-20130303061941

Okay. I haven't typed a review for a chapter in quite some time, firstly due to my Thailand trip and then because I just never got around to it.

However! Firstly, can I just say that seeing Orga taken out in one hit was, for me, disgusting and totally unneeded and bleh DX It was just a set up to make Jura look really powerful, and that is another reason why this chapter just seemed so silly and unrealistic. A better way to have handled this situation would have been to have Orga try and take on Jura and then suddenly turn to attack Laxus too (Orga is stuck up and thinks he is awesome, so trying to take on both seems in his personality). Both being attacked, Jura and Laxus attack him at the same time and he falls, leaving them to go straight into and continue with just the two of them.

Anyways, the chapter. I think what some people are saying is very harsh. Granted, I didn't like the chapter very much either, but... still >__>

Gray and Juvia's battle is actually entertaining me. I know they will win, but as I've said before, we all know they will, so I look at how the battle is done (style, abilities used, art) rather than what occurs. People keep complaining that Gray managed to take out Rufus but can't take out Lyon. Uuuuh, do you people stop to think that the reason Gray is having such a hard time is because he did take out Rufus?? He would be almost completely depleted of Magic Power, and Juvia with her water is not very effective against Lyon. Plus, with Chelia's help in defence for Lyon, I'm not surprised the two are struggling. As such, I'm awaiting an interesting Unison Raid that will blow my mind... hopefully :/

Erza! What can I say, I know people hate it, but I loved seeing her new armour. They are so cool and way better than her hakama clothing any day! Wooh! I want to see what this armour grants her in terms of abilities too :3 Plus I hate Minerva... so yay for Erza~!

Laxus and Jura started out epically >:3 I liked that when they both stopped attacking that Laxus was huffing a bit whilst Jura seemed fine. Their attacks were also cool and everything was going smoothly until those last pages. I mean... huh? o___O I did not get that last attack at all. Sure, it's a secret art or whatever the heck they are called, but Jura didn't seem to even try and put up any defence!! That's what got me the most I think, not that Laxus pulled a strong attack but that Jura seemed to do nothing ( .__.) Though, maybe I wasn't that disappointed because I knew Laxus was going to win. Anyone who thought otherwise was just deluding themselves... even though I wanted Jura to win...

But! Sting is still hanging around! >:) I am actually interested with him right now and I really want to know what he is up to. It is a pretty good plan though: wait 'til all the players are pretty much defeated and then make your move... gotta hand it to Sting... maybe he has a brain after all...

... *sighs* This is going to take some time to type out, but what the heck...

I'm also annoyed about this whole time travel business... I seriously hope that it doesn't turn into one of those "Oh no, the bad future is here! Let's go back in time and do certain things differently! Oh, look, the future is good again". I get that this is going to happen, but I don't want it to.

The main reason is this: In my opinion and from my way of looking you can not change he future at all.

Picture this: FL (Future Lucy) comes back in time to warn her friends of the future. She knows what she did when she was actually in the right time (present Lucy) and goes back to try and stop that. However, her actions lead to these things happening anyway. This is because in order for FL to go back in time, bad things have to happen. But bad things happen because FL goes back in time. It's a continuous cycle that should not be able to be changed.

In my mind the future cannot be changed because we know about the future because of the future... Make sense? If we change the future to be good we cease to exist the way we are because we only know about the future because of the bad thing we want to change.

Look at the Terminator series for example. That explains it perfectly. The Doomsday was always going to happen. Just because somebody from the future came back and said something about it didn't mean they were able to stop it: it was inevitable. The machines came back because they existed in the future and tried to change it (to not die) but by coming back they caused their own demise in the future because they armed the enemy with the knowledge of them and the knowledge that he would win. As such, all John had to do was live his life normally, because, he should have known, that no matter what, he would live to see victory.

It's the same here for Fairy Tail. Future Lucy is causing the future because she goes into the past to change it. The dragons arriving is inevitable and trying to change it should be pointless.

As such, it would be very interesting if some thing turned out differently... like FL is not actually from the future and is not actually Lucy >:)

Despite all this I see everyone causing a happy ending >___>

Why am I saying all this you ask? I have no idea actually ( .__.) I just want to get it all out of my head and here so I can maybe stop pondering it and killing my brain...

Anyways, after years of typing, the Carrot leaves to go eat something. Hopefully this coming chapter is good... and has more Jellal ;D
