User blog:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 406: The Girl Within the Crystal, Review and Commentary

Hello everyone! We're back on another Monday for Fairy Tail Chapter 406! We have an epic colored cover featuring Natsu and Igneel kicking ass. Alright, moving on ( ._.)

We see Warren, Elfman, Lisanna and Shadow Gear beating the Lam e y army! I loled at Lamy hoping the "cuter" guy was the one who beat her. Who could she mean? >_> All 4 of the guys present are fugly as hell. Anyway, those guys find Lucy! I like her friendship with Lisanna, I must say. They looked so happy seeing each other is okay! It also looks like Lucy is still affected by Aquarius' loss... that makes two of us, Lucy!

So, we finally see some Gray! He is wondering what "something" is doing there. I have no clue what he means, but I expect to see more of him soon. Also, Gajeel & co. go to Porlyusica's place! Anyway, Wendy + Bolty + Carla reach Lucy's group and tell them about the 309487654 Faces about to activate! Is Jellal's group also going to join in on the fun?

..........

I wouldn't count on it ( ._.)

Back to Natsu's group. Apparently Mard tries to "conceal, don't feel" and says he keeps his anger in check, because he's disgsuted by what she becomes when she does not. Anyone else reminded of Mirajane the first time she activated Satan Soul? I know I was :P

Back to Mard, he appears to have lost it, as he fabulously claims he will erase his opponents and waves his hand, as some hue tentacles/vines witht thorns appear and beat up the group. He then easily toys with the group, using explosions and energy fields to prevent them from attacking him. Cool! They then use their strongest attacks on him, but he flamboyantly absorbs them, taking no damage at all, and knocks them down, before sitting on his throne. Wow, what a queen bitch!

HOWEVER!!! The fact that he left the book to fight them seriously shows me that they'll probably trick him and steal the book. I don't see any other way they can beat him. Meanwhile, Warren worries that he doesn't have enough range with his Telepathy. In this hour of need, though, FRIGGIN' MAVIS' BODY, WHICH IS LUMEN HISTOIRE, IS AWAKENED BY FRIGGIN' MAKAROV!!!

That was huge! We finally know what Lumen is, and it's Mavis! However, why do some, like Ivan, call it the guild's darkness, but Mavis calls it the guild's light? We shall find out!

The Good

 * Mard Geer being ridiculously strong!
 * We found out what Lumen Histoire is!
 * We finally got Wendy + Bolty, Makarov + Lumen, Gray, and everyone except Jellal's group!

The Bad
None.

Final Verdict
Awesome chapter, Mashima. The past weeks have been nothing but letdowns, but I've gotta hand it to you for this one. GOOD JOB!

How will Natsu + Twin Dragons end their fight? They'll steal the book. Mard will hopefully kill them They will defeat Mard in a ridiculous way Not a clue

Did you like the Mavis = LH plot twist? I LOVED IT! Meh, predictable I hadn't thought of it but I didn't like it Finger crossed for now

''As for other mangas...I really enjoyed Bleach this time! Same for Naruto, but on a lesser degree. Still, him and Sasuke being exhausted and fighting with basic skills was epic. I, once again, also loved Law's flashback in One Piece! What do you think of this week's mangas? Let me know in the comments below!''
