Fairy Tail Thread Chapter 497

>"wow its fucking nothing" : the chapter

>Juvia will never get a proper fight in this arc
Fuck you Mashima

>immune to ice
>still gets fucked up by it
can't wait to hear the reason behind this

So what's the deal with Neinhart?

Welp, time for him to job next chapter

Heat control and not actual ice magic. Easy.

I wouldn't say it's that hard to figure out, especially because we've seen this many times.
When Gray fought Lyon, Grays ice was stronger because he was stronger
When Natsu fought phantom fire man his fire was stronger because he was stronger
When two people with the same element fight, the one with more power wins. In this scenario Invel clearly has more power. It doesn't mean gray is fucked, the same situation happened when he fought Silver, but he found a way to bypass the power difference.

Is this not almost over?

>post yfw when you realize that Eileen, not Zeref, is the true villain of this arc

>post yfw Natsu will never actually become E.N.D and Rekt Fairy Tail Cuz MUH Friendship is too stronk

Fuck every other plot thread, the only thing I'm actually looking forward too is Erza revelation and fight vs Eileen.

I enjoy Gray's fights a bit more since he usually wins with a gimmick instead of a nakama asspull like Natsu or Erza.

Usually his gimmicks are so retarded I tend enjoying his fights the least. The worst one was the 'omg ultear ur mom is the sea listen 2 her HAHA ICE GUNGIR' one vs Ultear tho

Caption this

or this

Only in the beggining. His latest fights, especially againt the Rose guy was retarded.

>Take my ultimate attack!
>We hid beneath the ground, get punched!

I know it's mainly Natsu there, but still, FT has been running on asspulls at least since Natsu was able to eat the Etherion laser.

or this for example

or even this

great chapter dunno what OP is talking about

Mavis is Miyu now?

Why her feet are so flat?

>12 Spriggans are supposedly the strongest mages
>The other characters are having no trouble fighting them
Why am I still reading this pile of dogshit?

>fucking nothing

>Why am I still reading this pile of dogshit?
Because its hot

well to be fair if you train hard nobody will know you surpass someone before they see you fight. The title "strongest" isn't some objective fact

Tits and asses

This seems like the last arc, Maybe a short arc after this depending on how things end.

Mashima could always do the following:
>Zeref loses, asks Natsu to kill Acnologia with his dying breath
>Acnologia just leaves instead of confronting Natsu
>more training/SOL arcs for a few years

>neinhart
>no heart
>cold as ice

3 bucks that Eileen enchanted him a heart

According to that interview from a couple weeks ago," it's at its climax but not its ending."

>Why am I still reading this pile of dogshit?

for the plot like all of us

FUCK YOU ZEREF

The time of update this chart is near.

I have a big feeling that Erza and Wendy will get a bis.

New ice guys is capable of freezing even natsu and his flames.
Mavis gets tortured.
Nineheart is another of Eileen's creations, that allows for remote enchantment of Hystoria.
Eileen tells Nineheart to killl, Erza to probably test how far she has come.
Eileen gets more shady as fuck, most likely not human in the slightest, thus confirming August as the strongest HUMAN mage.
Hint at a god and fight Anksheram arc with Eileen being some kind of divine spy manipulating the events around Zeref.

What if Neinhart is Obra?

Why would that bitch sent Neinhart to kill Erza? Poor fucking guy.

Such is the contradiction curse.

Erza is without a doubt the most boring character in this manga.

Eileen is Acnologia's lover.

>implying she's not going to somehow negate Invel's magic through the power of love and free herself when grey is in danger

Kinda funny When not in super serious mode

Mavis of course.

>Mashima revives all the Spriggans
>Only to have them job again
When will this talentless hack just go into the hentai business already?

At least we see Erza wielding dragonslayer in berserker armor.

You guys don't like Gray's fights? I think they're amongst the least asspully in FT, or more accurately, they make some sense.
Take the Silver fight, he used a projectile to render Silver's immunity to ice useless, whereas the other fights became notorious for super nakama asspull.
Speaking of the Ultear fight, he didn't defeat her by talking about Ur, he defeated her by utilizing the only weak point in Arc of Time, it was only after she lost that he talked about her mother.
His other fights weren't as bad as most, all in all I'd put him as having the best fights.

>HAAAAAyyyyaaaiiiii FORCES

Did Mashima even bother to explain why the fuck did Serena leave Ishgria or something? Or did he pull an Araki and forgot about it?

He was in the middle of monologue about how his goal was to beat Acnologia when Acnologia taught him why you shouldn't monologue.

Invel is very handsome desu.

All hackman needed to do was not make the statment "Serena is clearly the strongest mage back home and they're all as strong if not stronger than Serena".

If they had just been "them strong guys what do the magic and will job" nobody would care anymore than usual.

Dude, it was said ages ago that Wizard Saint was just a position given by the council. That's why Laxus wasn't made one despite beating Jura.

So we've known since forever that "Wizard Saint" meant fuck all as far as who was truly the strongest. Anyone the council didn't know about or approve of wouldn't be on the list.

Everything related to powerlevel mean fuck all in FT anyway.

-Ahahahahah, I'm the strongest mofo ever !
-Yes, but I'm Erza myself you nigger !
-Oh no I done for !
etc...

Yeah, Laxus was said to be "boorish" so they didn't add him. And Gildarts wasn't a Wizard Saint either but he believes that he's at least as strong as peak Serena.

That very shameful feel when 28 years old and reading FT.

>captains are supposed to be the strongest
>Shibukai are supposed to be the strongest
>Akatsuki are supposed to be the strongest

This shit happens in every brain dead shounen manga it's time to stop getting upset.

>Shibukai are supposed to be the strongest
I assume you mean Shichibukai from One Piece, in which it's been shown as of late that they are given the role for political reasons, not because of power level. If you want power level, cry about the Yonkou/Four Emperors instead.

There is a thing you don't seems to understand because your brain is wired to work with overly simplified concepts.

*tips fedora*

I wont bother explain to you what a scale is.

Why don't you add the Mavis scene of this chapter?

Mmmm, Crocodile fucked up Luffy on the first fight, nearly killed him.
Luffy had to team up with Trafalgar (a shichibukai) to beat Doffy.
Luffy had to use the shadow of a hundred warriors to beat Moria.
Etc...

Meanwhile in FT you either win because you're simply Erza or because you eat your opponent magical power just like that: "Hey I'm a fire dragon but for some reason now I can eat thunder, cool innit ?" and everyone get one punched. Mashima can't draw a fight.

Of course, for an animal like you it's all the same: Conflict => asspull => resolution.

To you a Togashi-tier battle is as valid as a Mashima-tier battle, this is why you're a cow.

it's ice that surpasses ice

Because isn't bloody ryona

Mavis became shit the moment we learn she loved Zeref. Being a loli won't save her now.

Shichibukai at least were the strongest for pretty much the entire first half of the series. The Spriggans were the strongest for all of 20 chapters when Ajeel got his ass kicked and they all started following suit.

I knew the moment they were revived they were going to get jobbed. Killed the suspense.
Not like I expected anything from this garbage series

>How did she do it?
>Because she's Erza
Dropped the manga there so hard.

Remember that Neinhart alreadu BTFO Erza once

...

>disgust anime face
Why is this kinda hot

Fairy Tail is really terrible. Bad fights, full of jobbers, asspulls, the list of flaws is long.

None of those were stated ever.

Spinning lady was talking about strenght.

Mashima just confirm Invel/Eileen/August as the Three Special Spriggans already.

With his next manga I hope he accepts the inevitable, abandons shonen fighters and just make a romance manga. He'd be better off with a generic to-love ru style manga. He can get away with no plot, and wouldn't have to do fights.

>Defeated Spriggans revived
>to immediately job again


Like fucking cloclwork

Irrelevant. They can get called the strongest all they want, but the series established long before then that there was no guarantee there was no one stronger. All calling them the "strongest" at that point does is serve as a fancy way of saying "they're really strong".

Anybody actually reading Fairy Tail instead of fapping to the images are the same people who read Tu Love Ru for a plot progression and likely the same people who put up with Nisekoi's bullshit for 5 years.

Should stop doing it, characters don't talk by themselves

I read it for the plot faggot and the sick ass fights.

Don't be retarded. Not everything the characters say is spoken with the full omniscient knowledge of the author. Especially not when they're boasting about their own strength or insulting someone else's strength. Authors do write their characters to have limited knowledge, including for exposition and evaluations of strength.

Considering how Alvarez was stated as an inminent threat later. Characters should stop being so conveniently blind, be that spinning lady or Levy wanking the wizard saint you fucking moron.

I read it to see where this trainwreck leads.
If I was to read To Love Ru, it'd be for the plot, whatever that may be.

Either you're a masochist or a sadist and want to break that disgust.

Holy fuck Invel what are you doing at the front lines, just stay back until Mavis loses her powers ffs.

Invel is probably either an Ice God-Slayer or Dragon-Slayer.

Bitchtits told him to go, so don't blame him once Gray fullbusts his ass.

I want to fuck the crazy out of Zeref

Mavis pls

Will Ishida be able to defeat Haschwalth and save Ichigo?

I am from the future; yes.

...

How did the Spriggan get revived again?

Through lime history magic or some shit

>Thought Eileen was only doing evil shit because she though her daughter was ded
>She realizes Erza is alive, but is still evil because other reasons
>Wants her dead
There go my dreams of a top tier mom appearing in this manga

Shes dark and edgy for the sake of being dark and edgy like every saturday morning cartoon villain in America

Ajeel, Jacob, Neinhart, and Dimaria never died in the first place. They were just defeated, knocked out, captured, etc. Serena, Wahl, and Bradman were the only ones who died. Neinhart revived them via his magic which basically lets him create a copy of dead people based on someone's memories of them. However either as an innate flaw of the magic, or a limitation of Neinhart's power, those three aren't as strong as they were when they were alive.

Said by a joke character, that most of the time canonly does not know what is going on!

>because other reasons
I think she just really wants to kill Acnologia, no matter the cost, and decided to place her faith in Zeref to do that
She's getting redeemed, mark my words. I mean, even Minevra was

Acnologia is a messenger of Ankhseram
