User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 360: The White Inheritance, Review.

The chapter cover featured Ren..... okay, moving on.

The chapter begins where the last one left off. Natsu and Jackal are having a stand off, and Lucy and Wendy try to get Michello out of there, but Jackal starts blowing up the city around them. Cool. :3 Natsu charges at him, and Jackal tries to use his Magic on him, but of course Natsu eats it. He sends Jackal flying with a punch and tries to come in for another, but Jackal dodges it... just to get hit again. >_> Jackal tries to tell Natsu something, but Natsu is too angry to stop and talk so he just keeps pounding the guy. Michello, who apparently knows what Tartarus is after "Faith" or "The White Inheritance," tries to leave and pretend like he doesn't know anything, but Jackal, who seemed to be defeated, sits up and tells him that he might be spared if he would share some info. He then tells Natsu that he should let people speak to him when they request it, and reveals that he placed some kind of mark on Natsu's leg. Jackal's "curse" is that everything he touches turns into a bomb, and since Natsu just got finished pounding the guy, he's now "Da Bomb." And yes, I just made that awful joke. >_> Anyhow, Natsu explodes and is down for the count and Jackal taunts Michello pretty sadistically.

Overall, this was a pretty decent chapter with an awesome ending. I loved that Natsu is down and out. It's nice to have a battle that isn't a Natsu fest for once. I was a little worried at the beginning that Jackal wasn't going to live up to my expectations, but he did. I actually like him as a villain which is surprising because villains usually aren't my cup of tea. I'm really curious how Lucy and the others are going to get out of this bind. Lucy has the capability of fighting without touching Jackal since several of her spirits have long range capabilities, but I'm curious as to whether or not she has the strength to stand up to Jackal. Or, will Erza or someone else come in and save the day. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
