User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Chapter 490: Fairy Tail Zerø, Review/@comment-25111584-20160620121340


 * Universe One: Actually liked the concept. It allowed Irene to delay Acnologia (Iunno why Acnologia can't the traverse the entire continent in a matter of minutes like the other Dragons) as well as make good on her promise of having Zeref get serious. Plus, this Magic is not far too hax aside from the AoE. Best part is that we actually got an explanation as to why Acnologia can't get out of a seemingly simple Magic: It has been newly created, which likely means that the workings are so novel that Acnologia has no idea how to interfere, rather than the Magic itself being novel. Kudos to Mashima.
 * Invel and Black Carpet vs. the Guild? Cool, would be fun, although Invel is going down pretty fast. Too many monsters present here. Of course, Invel might not be with the Black Carpet or this could even be the northern army...
 * Please give Cana a part in a battle against a Shield, Mashima. And not alongside Gildarts.
 * Zeref: Sorry, but after Jellal, Mard Geer and Gray, you don't really pull it off. Add Irene to the mix and your stocks pretty much hit rock-bottom. :P
 * August: No Healing Magic? For the Magic King, he sure is turning out to be slightly disappointing...
 * Where's Elfman? Is Mashima going to exchange Gajeel for Elfman or something? "Here, I didn't kill Gajeel, but have an Elfman death instead." Something along those lines? .-.
 * Gajeel: Eh, let's see where this goes. I, for one, definitely don't think this reduces the impact of Gajeel's earlier speech. The trio didn't know that he would be alive (and his survival isnt't technically confirmed yet), so the emotions expressed in the Chapter are hardly demeaned. Plus, this pushes up my hopes for Gruvia being scuttled. \( ^_^)/
 * lol, after Father and Child, we now have Mother and Child. I don't mind this referring to Irene and Erza. I might be in the minority, but Erza's mother being a Shield seems reasonable. While it's not a necessity, a powerful person like Erza being part of a powerful bloodline is fitting. ._./
 * Random Teleportation: See, this is where things start to fray (or come completely unraveled from my biased point of view). Even though it's random teleportation, I can understand there being a few rules. People in direct contact with each other stay together. Or maybe even people in a group stay together (Iunno what happens with large groups). Let's take Gray's group as an example. I don't mind Gray and Erza staying together. I don't even mind Gray, Erza, Carla, Wendy and Juvia staying together. But... how the fuck do Wendy and Carla manage to lose themselves while Juvia remains stuck like a leech to Gray?! Same goes for Natsu's group. Mest can teleport people in his vicinity without touching them, so no way did he try to save his own arse when August tried to blast the group. So why is he the only one separated? More importantly... why couldn't Happy have been the one left alone? Or Juvia? The answer is simple. Convenience. In case of Gray's group, it is convenience of the basest nature: Convenience for the sake of shipping. *sighs* Mashima sometimes creates these beautiful developments... then completely ruins them by reducing the whole thing to a pathetic farce. Lords, if this turns out to be an excuse to have a retarded Gray & Juvia vs. some Shield, I'll be swearing at pretty much each friggin' panel of the fight. Well, just exaggerating, but 'twould be absolutely repugnant writing.

This would have been an absolutely great Chapter for me if not for the random teleportation being a lame excuse meant to conveniently divide groups. Mashima plz. e_e

I wonder whether 7DS and FT synchronize on purpose...
