User blog comment:Derax-Pagani/Fairy Tail Chapter 494: The Hill Extending Towards Tomorrow Review/@comment-1359322-20160716142507

One thing that i seriously have to complain about this chapter solely, what's the purpose of all those past fights? I mean some of it did something like Bradman and Wahl, but seeing how this chapter turn out just made me think again, why the hell did Mashima even bother to include the other guilds in the first place?

After all the crook and turns, the skirmish and fanservice, the needless troll and supposed death. We reach the final stage, the grand fight, the future of the world at stake and once again it falls to the hand of FT. Fairy Tail, the no. 1 guild in the world. =_=

The final battle is FT vs Alvarez, Fairy Tail vs Alvarez, it's not Ishgar vs Alvarez, from the looks of things it's not even gonna Fiore vs Alvarez. Seriously at this point i'd say Mavis not wanting to involve other guilds barely matters at this point anymore cause in the end everything still boils down to Fairy Tail, and Fairy Tail solely, the other guilds remain irrelevant.

Reading this chapter made me think if Mashima is just going to pull FT vs Alvarez in the end, why not he just cut all those needless chase and do it from the start. At least we don't have to go through all those painful battles and situation just to reach back at the starting point of the war. FT vs Alvarez again.

Really sometimes i feel like those from the other guilds, the Jellal, the Sting, the Lyon, the Jura and so on just worth less than Jet & Droy. Hell i even question if their usefulness is above Happy that stupid blue cat who only knows how to eat fish.
