Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest ‒ Episode 12

Besides Lucy getting jobbed and the fights dragging on a runt too primary, I otherwise haven’t had too many disorders with this arc up till now, and that is the reason a runt more consistency than I’ve in most cases come compare from this series. We had been seemingly gradual to web hit with some weirdness in a single make or one other. Even shiny that, I will now no longer notify I turned into prepared for dazzling how primary weirdness we had been going to web hit with straight away, and how primary of it turned into in carrier of gags. In my figuring out all these wouldn’t be too hectic, but together, they develop for one among the trace’s wonkiest outings quickly.

First, it be time to establish assist in on Erza and Jellal’s romantic escapades, which fill slowly long gone from amusing to a runt sorrowful, as Jellal decides to bind Erza alongside with his magic earlier than doing the deed. Erza pleads for him to untie her since being certain be pleased this finest reminds her of her days as a slave and that is the reason now no longer how she desires their first time to head. Fortunately he has the same opinion because even while possessed, he can also never lift himself to anything that would per chance well per chance fracture her, and I voice it be good to know that even he understands the significance of consent. After all, it wouldn’t be within the trace’s nature to rob all of this too seriously, so earlier than things can lope any extra, Erza distracts him prolonged sufficient to tie him up, and goes on her procedure assist to fight Laxus. Undoubtedly now no longer the most dapper procedure to slay this bit, but it turned into already initiating to place on out it be welcome, and Jellal assuming that Erza turned into tying him up as some make of foreplay turned into seemingly as correct a punchline as any for this, so on the total I am now no longer too troubled by how this wrapped up.

I will now no longer quite notify the equal for Natsu’s fight with Wraith, which draws what can also presumably be one among the most contrived stunts I’ve ever seen from this franchise (and that is the reason announcing loads). As Wraith begins pounding on Natsu by Makarov’s body, he realizes that he’s synchronized with Makarov a runt too well, and wonders if the two of them can also with no doubt be connected, since his possession works better on blood family. Irregular because it would per chance well per chance be to point out Makarov would per chance well fill had a secret cherish runt one or one thing at this stage, I believe I would fill most in vogue that to the staunch truth. That being that Wraith turned into with no doubt a mature Fairy Tail member all alongside who died an premature death in Makarov’s hands, and now that he’s regained those memories, he can now no longer lift himself to fight Natsu anymore, and decides to peacefully lope onto the afterlife.

Here’s removed from the vital time we fill seen the trace give a villain a random connection to the Fairy Tail guild, but here is without effort the worst occasion of it that the trace’s ever pulled. No longer finest does it in most cases come out of nowhere, but the trace doesn’t even linger on this revelation prolonged sufficient to wring any true emotion out of it, since even in Wraith’s flashback, he’s finest alive prolonged sufficient to die in front of Makarov. Or now no longer it is melodrama for melodrama’s sake, and even shiny the stage of significance Mashima likes to position on “bonds that are stronger than blood” and all that, there would possibly per chance be a time and a spot to toss in that message, and this ain’t it. I voice the one upside is that this complete sequence did no longer spend up too primary of this episode’s runtime, but the true fact that it turned into over and done with so mercurial dazzling make of makes the twist even worse, and it be without effort about a of the weakest writing the trace has had quickly.

Whereas much less annoying in comparability, I also wasn’t too immense on the punchline we bought with Gray, Juvia and Lucy running into Cana, as all of them stumble on that she turned into never possessed and has merely been too drunk to repeat what turned into occurring to the rest of the guild. Or now no longer it is with no doubt amusing, but it doesn’t with no doubt assign up underneath scrutiny if you imagine about that it be been now no longer lower than about a days at this point, and even she has finest so primary alcohol. In total I would be prepared to roll with that because it falls underneath the trace’s in vogue label of comedy, but what makes this twist lame is that we web it straight away after Lucy realizes that she can also seemingly capture your total possessed guild members by using Cana’s playing cards since the two of them narrate a identical make of magic. Despite the true fact that it (seemingly) wasn’t intentional, it dazzling finally ends up feeling be pleased one opposite route of extra combating Lucy from making any true contributions to the crew here, and between this and how her fight bought cleave brief, it be hectic now no longer to feel be pleased Mashima wants to give the miserable lady a spoil.

Besides that, we restful fill Wendy within the heart of combating the spider guy, but that doesn’t with no doubt appear to be going one procedure or the various, so it be hectic to know how one will wrap up. We also web a swift conclusion to Kiria going by off against Laxus as he finally ends up totally curbstomping her, but now no longer earlier than giving his in vogue speech about how he’s bodily sturdy, but emotionally extinct on the internal and how being within the guild has helped him work on that. By some means in Kiria’s brain that every sounds be pleased a switch on, and she finally ends up falling for him. Or now no longer it is a runt weird, given how she finest had eyes for Erza up till now, but thinking about how that resulted in a single among Erza’s worst moments quickly, I am down for turning Kiria into Laxus’s weird admirer as a change since that now no longer lower than appears to be like be pleased it would per chance well fill to be amusing if it goes wherever.

Speaking of weird admirers, things slay with Natsu and Happy running into Touka who begs Natsu to abet her, but we’re gonna wish to wait a week to search how that pans out. All in all, this turned into seemingly the trace’s weakest outing quickly, and even being weak to about a of Mashima’s abrupt left swerves, I wasn’t looking ahead to to expertise quite this many of them. On the intense facet, none of them had been terrifying sufficient to totally suck the momentum out of this arc, but I am hoping that this turned into all dazzling quite a tough patch, and things will lope a runt more without effort next week.
