User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Episode 229: Law of Retrogression, Review/@comment-24277053-20150418031906

What an episode, Flare shows up in all glory, we see Erza and Minerva begin their battle, Natsu turns into a kid, and Happy is useless.

God dammit it Happy, if Natsu didn't want to hit him I will. Stupid cat, why is he even here?

The Erza imagination of what being a child would mean, especially Wendy and Doranbolt's reaction classic. Erza and Minerva cross paths again.

The anime added a lot of stuff in their confrontation, it was much shorter in the manga, first of Erza saying she was worried about Minerva was never said in the manga, nothing about Sabertooth was mentioned, let alone the Minerva was killed by the dragons, and Sabertooth is never even mentioned at all in this arc. Obviously the anime writers are taking advantage of knowing what happens in the manga, and adding some for shadowing, if this was in the manga, I would know exactly what direction they are going with Minerva's character. I did figure it out early on in the Tartarus arc, and I am one of the few that called it, but anyway would had figure out even sooner.

Natsu has a kid, I liked that hey kept his grownup voice, I mean the point is this magic turns people into child form, to look like children, they are not children, so Natsu keeping his grownup voice makes sense. Besides I have had enough of our characters are children flashback.

Those treasure hunters are really dumb, did they think Lucy and Wendy fall for their disguise, maybe Ash Katchem would, but not Lucy and Wendy. Looks like they are in trouble when Flare suddenly shows up to save Lucy again and looking hot as ever.

I was right the ending this week was Wendy. Hiro did say there would be a surprise in the upcoming ED, I expect next week would be Flare or Minerva, they are the only other female characters in this arc, except for Charles.
