New chapter of Fairy Tail was out today, and have to admit...Natsu as always is pure bad ass on legs. I also like that as the Sabertooth Dragon Slayers were pulling out all the stops and Natsu was just stopping them cold, it went around to all of the people in the stands watching with pride as Fairy Tail took back their bad ass position. Looking forward to him talking to Rogue and Sting as well as Fros and Lector soon; think Gajeel will as well.
Weeeeell... I can't say I liked the whole 1v2ing them though.
They are TWO dragon force'd Dragon Slayers, how on earth did he beat them with such ease? I mean, the small power-up from his training seems too weak to justify it. He blew through an
Unison Raid
like it was nothing... And they both entered Dragon Force mode to use no new ability whatsoever. And Natsu didn't even have to resort to Lightning abilities. Rogue also barelly used anything...
To prove Fairy Tail's name, Erza's sweeping victory - in typical Erza exaggeration fashion - and Elfman's triumph felt far more epic. Erza's left room for speculation - could Jura, for instance, clear Pandemonium too? Perhaps, it wasn't bluntly stated HELL NO. Natsu's just felt completelly uninteresting with how diminished his enemies were.
I dunno, I expected Fairy Tail to win, but to literally humilliate the Twin Dragons, even if poetically just, lacks any credibility in my eyes. Characters come back from a timeskip and are brought up to speed by a magical training plot device that's unclear, and "up to speed" meaning "abusivelly overpowered"... makes no sense.
I'm hoping the guild VS guild match is handled way differently.

Considering Natsu actually touched the master of Sabertooth, something apparently no one else in the guild but his daughter was able to do...shows that Gajeel and Natsu, and probably Wendy as well, all for being 'old style' Dragon Slayers, have more to them then Sting and Rogue do...though, if things follow through, there will probably be two more Dragon Slayers before long.
Also: Look at Wendy, she learned Wing Slash of the Sky Dragon just from watching Natsu performing it several times without him actually teaching her.
I loved it, that Natsu took the piss out of both of them, but did it in a way that didn't make them look too pathetic. Now, if Gajeel had been the one teaching the lesson, both of the Sabertooth's would have been pureed by him.

I wouldn't probably have as much of an issue with it if Gajeel fought as well, or ESPECIALLY if they did not enter Dragon Force. Those two combined, though, were waaaaaaay overkill. Why would there be such a ridiculous disparity between Dragon Slayers that two combined on their ultimate forms would not even phase a non-Forced single Slayer?

Same reason that Natsu in Dragon Force mode has kicked the ever living ^&*! out of everyone he's ever gone up against; Fairy Tail is the big Good of the series and they'll whip arse.
As for why: It's just beating home the ideal that old style Dragon Slayers are the best, since technically the second style dragon slayers are meant to be stronger(look at how both Laxus and Cobra were kicking Natsu's ass at first). And we still don't know exactly what the upgrade the Fairy Tail mages went through is doing to them.
But with that cliff hanger at the end well...something big is coming for Fairy Tail again.

Oh, undoubtedly. The magic games are close to filler with the various other plot points around; Lumen Histoire, that Zeref force and the visions from Charle. I'm not sure if Raven Tail will still play a role in any of it., or if Lumen Histoire is just foreshadowing or is related to the current events. And, obviously, 7/7/X777. And the Dragon's statement about the Games.
Overall, the battle between guilds is not really important.

It's only important to once again show that Fairy Tail is top guild, and to get a bunch of recruits from Sabertooth heh.
As for Raven Tail, probably won't see them back till they finally take down the last cornerstone of the Yami Guilds, Tartaros....whenever that is going to happen lol.
Though, saw a lot of this happening in Rave/Ravemaster too...and well, pretty much all of the other mangas by Master Hiro.

Holy crap and here I thought I had seen everything in Gantz, then they bust out the attempted bug rape :/

Still not the most screwed up thing in there....there's a lot more to come.

I wonder if were ever going to see those two vampires "Host Samurai" and "Kill Bill" again. They're technically Gantz fighters so I was hoping we would see them when those guys controlling the black balls called everybody in.

All caught up on Gntz. That room fo truth thing was trippy as %^&*, wtf Hitler at the end lol. Also I feel like Kei was kind of stupid for stopping Nishi from destroying that tower.

Heh, like I said, found the room of truth thing to be the most messed in all of Gantz.
So been reading a couple of manga the last couple of days:
Witch Hunter: Korean manga about witches and magic users. Excellent read.
Tower of God: Is slow at times, but is a great fighting/adventure/dungeon crawling manga.
Clover: Slice of life about three friends meeting up again after a few years apart. Think of it like GTO, just without the main character being a teacher heh.
Pluto: Alternate universe version of Astro Boy...really good.
So just read the manga Gyo, which is meant to be a horror one...but well....Eh, easier to just show it.
Swordfish...being chased by an APC.
The Land shark
and what the morons who are the 'heroes' of the series say....
then orochimaru reincarnates out of kabuto and become a bigger force, then etc etc
You know...I still can't believe Facesmasher got this right...
Newest chapter of Fairy Tail.....
Holy muther &*!@ing &*!@! Killing poor Lector like that! And the look on Minerva's face after Sting just WTFPwnd the Master of Sabertooth....that won't end well.
Trust the Master Hiro to make the 300th chapter a good one.

i was wondering exactly how experienced are those Dragon Force Slayers?Its one thing to know how to use an ability and another to use it to its full potency.
But hey Fairy tail is a place where its possible to negate an entire Nuke ability at the last moment (start of tournament, a certain lady with key's and zodiac?)

Heh yeah, but we've seen some like that before in the series. I mean, look at Eidolas Erza, who had Rune Save as a part of her weapon; cut through any magic.

Haha seriously. It was fun seeing Kishimoto and Laura Croft again though, I kinda wonder if Kishimo-two survived the invasion.

.
what i mean is while they can do the same things and have the same nature, whether they can do it with teh same skill and potency as the others

So, the revelation about the Black Dragon and Demons...Being once HumansDid not see that coming. Gonna be interesting to see where Fairy Tail goes from here.

Naruto, did not see that coming. Bleach somewhat predictable.
One Piece.. Did not expect the Yuki Yuki no mi (?) to make an appearance. Remember how Logia were supposed to be the rarest and most powerful fruits? Why does it seem like we've seen more Logia than anything else..
