User blog:EvanDude345rv5/Fairy Tail 355: Finally some Erza fanservice!

Boy this  week's  Fairy Tail  was one  giant fanservice  fest, and  boy did i  enjoy it  thoroughly, especially given as you can see within the title, has  Erza  fanservice. Finally, if  only they had that  back in 341.

Nothing special or worth caring about the cover,just Yuka on the cover, you know that random mid tier fodder who Natsu beat whose within Galuna Island, i honestly  need to be reminded of  him and the first though on my  mind was actually Tobi, the guy who had his sock  destroyed  by Raven Tail  and then went on to  form Infinite Tsukuyomi  so there would be a world without sock destroyers ( Now that i got that Naruto joke out of the way,let's continue ).

The chapter begins with Team Fairy Tail  returning from their mission in Sun Village to  Warod to get their  reward for  saving the entire  village from Succubus Eye. The mission and the arc within general was a decent transition to the main villains and ended much better than the mess that was chapter 337( Which many recall, i wasn't too happy with the ending of the Dragon Festival.

Wendy them explains to Warod that the Tartarus was involved within the freezing of the Sun Village in which Warod  responds with having the senate handle the investigations  regarding that. Sorry but due to the government shutdown, it looks like the investigation would take awhile because  Republicans are bitching about  giving people affordable health care ( Okay, i needed to make a  political joke as well ).

Anyways Warod  rewards the  team on their mission with a potato for their hard  earned mission. Warod is one funny  troll , the whole team   spends their entire day  trying to  defrost   the village, risking life and limb and the reward is a potato  ? That about feeling salty.

Anyways we get to the "Plot " of this chapter and i have to say, the plot is thoroughly enjoyable. I like how Lucy and Wendy are wearing their towels but  Erza is just standing there naked nonchalant covering nothing, Erza really doesn't mind being naked does she ? Anyways the girls remark how beautiful the hot spring is and  how it  does wonders for one's beauty and health and  boy it's doing wonders for Erza. I would remark how it's weird seeing  Calra naked but i  already commented within Jak's  review of this chapter about Happy always being naked so it's best not to  think too much about it.

Anyways the girls get a surprise when Natsu, Happy and Gray all appear within the hotsprings much to the  horror of Lucy and Wendy and much to Erza's approval. Lucy responds  by throwing  a basket at Natsu while Wendy  covers herself in embarrassment from the two. Is it me or does Lucy always lash out on Natsu and not Gray   ? That says alot about her character ,does she hit  Natsu because she's Tsundere towards him  or  does she hit hit because she only  wants Gray to see her naked  ? Either way, we got  fanfiction fuel.

Anyways We then get  Warod who explains that the  hot springs is actually a unisex  hot spring. UGGH, i really didn't need to see treeman naked. Come to think of it, for a man whose over a hundred years old, he's in decent shape. Despite all the wrinkles on his body, he still maintains  a decent muscular physique,guess the guy can still  lift in his old age.

Anyways Lucy doesn't seem to  like the fact that she's sharing a bath with the guys in which Natsu and  Gray  respond  by stating they've seen her naked so many times that they're no longer aroused by her. I gotta admit, that was a priceless joke by  Gray and Natsu. Erza then states that there's nothing to be nervous about seeing each other naked and explains that she used to take baths with Natsu and Gray all the time and is more than happy to  do it again with both of them.. Damn you Natsu and Gray, lucky bastard.

Also Erza is quite a pervert here, anyone notice she wishes to bathe with both of them again  despite the fact they're clearly adults and if you combine the fact that she secretly  reads smut and erotic novels, yeah  alot of  suggestive overtones about Erza's actual intentions..Give me a minute while i  cool down.

Anyways enough preving over Erza being a pervert, let's get to the point. Anyways, Warod reveals to  Team Natsu that he was a  former member of Fairy Tail  and not  only that  but one of the founding fathers of Fairy Tail making him the grand senpai of current Fairy Tail and Marakov's Senpai. Granted We been knowing that  since chapter  342   but  to be fair, that was only vaguely implied within flashbacks by Warod and not told to Fairy Tail so this was needed for the team to know.

Anyways  Warod explains his connection with Mavis and a bit more about the  guild and  states that he  knows that Team Natsu carries the spirit of Fairy Tail as intended by the founding father of the guild and  explains that  comrade  is more than just a simple word  but an unconditional trust with  your partners. Meanwhile Natsu gets the pleasure to wash Erza's back, again that lucky bastard gets to touch her.. why does he get so lucky  ? Oh well, at least we're not seeing a forced pairing between him and Erza( I'm looking at you  Sword Art Online).

Natsu realizing Warod is  over a hundred years old  asks the  man about the E.N.D. and about the  demons that exist within this world. Natsu explains to Warod about learning from Altas Flame  about Ingeel's attempt to destroy E.N.D. but  even Warod  doesn't have a clue  what  E.N.D.  really is  but he does  know about Tartarus  but only  basics. Little is known about their guild or  their base of operations or even members but what he knows  is that the guild is some form of cult worship for demons. Warod also implies that the Book of Zeref is also likely within their possession.

Natsu all  riled up about the dark guild and their antics goes  frantic and starts randoming  punching things however being a dumbass, he hits Erza by mistake. Erza of course not taking this lying down then beats the living crap  out of Natsu and hence the chapter ends with Natsu getting the crap beat out of him and Erza's ass ( DAT ASS).

Overall a pretty good chapter. It's a transition chapter to the new arc and suppose to be more based on comedy, character interactions and fanservice and  in all aspects, it  did it's job pretty well. There were some actually very funny moments to the chapter and my lord Erza is fucking hot, seriously, i had to pause  writing this  twice already in order to allow clean  my keyboard if you know what i mean.

I heard rumors that Mashima was worried that he overdid it with the fanservice in this chapter, i personally say it didn't go nearly as far as Chapter 341's the fanservice, especially with Cana groping Lucy naked and the borderline tribbing that occurred. I was personally hoping Erza trolled Natsu the same way, Gray too, now Mashima would really pushing boundaries between Ecchi and Hentai,XD.

The only problem i have though is that Mashima ended the arc abruptly though. We didn't see Team Natsu saying goodbye to Flare and the villagers of the Sun Village so there remains some closure that needs to be covered. That's the only thing that prevents this chapter from getting an A+ from me.

Still, Erza proves that she's pretty much the sex goddess of Fairy Tail and even Nami from One Piece isn't topping  Erza's unabashed, raw sexuaility or her sheer lack of modesty. Hell even Yoruichi and Rangiku from Bleach who are well known for their immodesty have nothing on Erza.

Overall: A
