User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 429 & 430: Code Blue & Purification Ritual, Review and Commentary/@comment-24546844-20150420201620

Well, I don't know what to tink of the chapters this week. Nothing of of chapter 429 actually surprised me because I was stupid and started reading from 430... DAMN!!! Anyway it's not like I lost anything.

I'm a bit conflicted about Gray's role here. To be fair I really wanted Gray to be a bad guy in this arc and have a significant death in the end as a (anti?) villain, but I guess, way deep down on my heart I had that feeling that Mashima wouldn't do that. Also what a jerk of him not telling Juvia. She's not a child anymore. Had he told her about his mission I'm sure she would do her best to help or at least stay out of the way and serve as something as a supporting member of the mission.

Aaaaaaand Erza is back... meh. I don't really like her at all because she disapointed me too much already. If I understood it right she has been acting independently and when she found Avatar she contacted Gray and planned the infiltration on their own am I right? I guess she could at leasst have contacted Gajeel to keep his team out for safety. And it looks like she's in touch with Jellal, oood for the shippers, the only thing this means to me is that maybe we'll be seeing Cobra again. Also, what a jerk of her to encourage Gray not ot tell Juvia anything.

The good thing we see here is that this Avatar group is only a small part of the organisation. That means that there may be some really powerfull members and that those are only the fodders, that's good enough for me because those guys are jokes.

And for some reason the Team Natsu reach the city faster than the council who was supposed to be there already for an ambush, and it looks like even faster than Avatar itself. What the hell Mashima? At least give us some tension and let Avatar do some damage before the heroes arrive. And bring Gajeel and Levy already! Or at least stop giving so much focus to Natsu ad let Lucy shine a bit...

Well, it is always nice to see Mashima giving us more than one chapter a week, so I can't expect to see the next chapters. "My swordt is..." of course refers to Erza so I bet she'll be pulling some new OP weapon like an Skyscrapper Swrod or Excallibur it self. Or maybe she'll just say some thing cheesy like "My sword (insert friendship quote, something like justice or any cheesy thing that only Erza would say)". Alternativelly it can be a reference to Jerome who also wields a sword, so we can see him becoming a rival to Erza, and start flattering her or something like this, any way this is it. See you next month.
