User blog:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 427: Pitched Underground Battle, Review and Commentary

Max on the cover this week! It's nice to see him being successful and wealthy after FT's disbanding. Makes you think that only Natsu is the one stuck in the past, which is something I want to see adressed. Anyways, I do wish we see Max soon, because he is one of my fav minor characters, and because Max x Broom must sail.

It's nice to see Lucy being the smart one and deciding to inflitrate from underground. It did bother me though when Virgo told Natsu&Happy that it's been a long time. For her, it has probably been less than a week since she last saw them, except if Lucy trained by having her Spirits stay longer than usual in our world...which would be kinda cruel tbh because they can't handle it under normal circumstances. Anyways just nitpicking here.

The next part is awesome. Lucy transforms to a maid using her Star Dress and for once Natsu looks amazed. Happy once again points similarities between her and Erza, and even I can see it, because I saw the Moulin Rouge episode just yesterday and Erza had a similar maid uniform.

I forgot to mention that Virgo's mazochistic tendencies make this chapter 10x funnier for me xD I've missed that bitch. Natsu once again destroys the advantage they had by sneaking, by, well, being himself, but I guess it's more dramatic that way. Gray recognizes his voice and Tartarus is alerted.

Abel is the first to find them, who does happen to know Kain, although they're not brothers or related as I would've thought; he just stole Mr. Cursey Noro-san from Kain. Nothing of this matters though because NATSU FODDERIZES IT. Anyway, the rest of the chapter does not really matter as it is simply Natsu fodderizing Avatar with Lucy and Virgo watching until Gray arrives to say he'll deal with Natsu himself. Meh. Meh. MEH. MEH.

The Good

 * Everything involving Lucy(although it was not much).
 * Natsu and Gray meeting maybe, although he payed no attention to Lucy whatsoever.

The Bad
I don't want to be repetitive. I hate Natsu fodderizing everyone. I mean, if they're small fries, why not have Lucy defeat at least half of them? :/ We get it, Natsu is strong, enough is enough.

Final Verdict
The chapter was entertaining but I did not love seeing yet another group with buildup and with named characters be one-hit-KO'ed. The most prominent members are still not down though, and even those fallen may rise again, so I'll not judge yet.

Who will Lucy fight? No one Mary Briar Abel Someone else

Will Gajeel arrive next chapter? Yeah he will No, we'll see Natsu vs. Gray I don't know I don't care

''As for other mangas, Bleach was...good? We saw how OP Aizen still is and we got some interaction between him and Rukia. One Piece was pretty good, Law is alive and he destroyed Trebol, so now Luffy vs. Doflamingo bitches! What's your take on this week's manga? Let me know in the comments!''
