Seriously, I no longer know what to say.

Once again, a fight which I was looking forward with enthusiasm was butchered by Mashima's seeming will to keep throwing crap at us. But hey, that's nothing new. I hardly remember any recent chapter worth calling "chapter".

Seriously, I'm pissed.

I'm pissed that Pegasus' "Secret Weapon" was revealed to be a weak character we'd seen already.

I'm pissed that Abe worked his ass off to create a nearly perfect article only to have it merged with that of a character we'd forgotten.

I'm pissed that Ichiya won simply through stupidly lame Plot Armor instead of showing us his real potential and winning as expected of Pegasus' strongest member.

I'm pissed that, once again, Cerberus was simply toyed around like a bunch of useless morons, and that Bacchus, someone strong as Erza if not stronger, was defeated in a single punch, like a common newbie, like someone worth nothing.

I'm pissed that Mashima ended another epic fight without even giving us a chance to behold it.

And I'm pissed that next week's fight will be so biased and likely ruined again by Mashima's seeming hatred for us.

Seriously, I no longer know what to say, other than... that Fairy Tail is by no means comparable to the other "giants" of shonen manga. I'm still following it as my main manga due to this Wiki being the best in the entire Internet (yeah, I said the best), but I no longer have any hope for incoming chapter... Any week it'll just be another "Now, let's see, what is Mashima doing this time to ruin what's supposed to be his masterpiece?".

You've disappointed me, Mashima.
