Fairy Tail Chapter 377

The fight between Wendy and Ezel was like most fights in this arc (and the series) a boring, curb stomp battle in the favour of the Fairy Tail Guild. I find it funny that before going into dragon force she couldn't lay a finger on him, but after transforming the fight turns into an almost a completely one sided fight in her favour. Especially since a similar situation happened with Sting and Rogue expect when they went into Dragon force the two of them combined doing a unions raid it didn't do shit to a base mode Natsu. Why is it that when Fairy Tail members use dragon force it is overpowered as hell, but when Sabber Tooth uses dragon force it becomes utter shit.

Also, Zeref's Nine Demon Gates are so underwhelming, I mean Deliora was also a Demon of Zeref and he was able to force Ur who was said to be 10 wizard saint tier, into sacrificing herself just to beat him. Plus from what I could tell Deliora wasn't a very intelligent creature and was purely acting on instinct, you would think the Nine Demon Gates who appear to be intelligent would be more devastating but apparently not. I guess the only competent antagonist I can hope for this series is Acnologia, but then again one of his attacks was blocked by a friend barrier so I should keep my exception very low. 2/5

Fairy Tail Chapter 378

Same shit over and over again, the majority of this chapter was wasted teasing two deaths that we all knew Mashima did not have the balls to actually do. I don't really care that Mashima fuses to kill off characters, what annoys me is that he keeps putting character into a situation where they should die or spending a lot time setting up what appears to be character death, only to write himself out of it using deux machina, plot convinces or a huge ass pull. Why didn't Mashima just end the threat of Face when it was destroyed and used the rest of the chapter to cover something else.

How the hell was Carla able to learn information about Face from her premonition in which the situation was the same just a few second later. How did this future version of herself know this information when the present version didn't. The writing in this series has always been laughable, but this has just reached a new plateau of shit writing. I don't know which is worse this or Erza's Nakama armour. 1/5
