User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Episode 256: Tartaros arc: The Final Duels, Review/@comment-25111584-20151024095646

I had actually liked this fight in the last episode. This episode ... not so much. Tempester blocks against a Secret Art and gets thrown by a punch? Tempester has beaten the crap out of Laxus ... then Laxus defeats him? 'Twas boring. .-. I had actually hoped that Laxus would just hold back Tempester until Gray takes over, making the timing of Gray's arrival much less plot-convenient. Now we don't even get the Sword Attack and the Demon Assessment Eye animated. .-.

When Tempester said that he was gonna get one-shot, I was actually expecting Gray to appear. Instead ... we got water? Huh? Weren't Tenchi Kaimei and Alegria dispelled? Hasn't Aquarius gone back? Or just screw those things and have water there? And didn't Mashima mention that 'Iron Fist' is a Natsu exclusive? Now everybody seems to be able to use it ... This episode was a let-down. :c

And Gray's appearance was so bloody ridiculous that I actually laughed. Guy conveniently appears to save everybody from death, blurts out a few words to Gajeel, who is shaking in his shoes for some reason, then goes away ... What exactly did he come back for? To see if his friends need help? Well, they are injured, so if you really have enough time to come there, maybe help them out a bit and see whether they can, I dunno, make their way back to base camp? Or just don't come back and do whatever you want. That's fine too. Don't half-ass things. This was just so stupid. >.>

Didn't even watch the second part. /o/
