It's about dam time they took Larcade down. What a long dragged fight.

That Erza vs. Minerva vs Kagura scene though...I remember that from the other season. Also got the fight against Irene. Honestly, I think the flashbacks could of been condensed for this episode but whatever. Erza vs Irene so far has my interest.

They copy pasted those scenes for the Minerva flashback, so they had less time they needed to fill themselves, and yet the rest of the episode isn't really animated. What are they saving the animation for?

The backstory of Irene has me curious though.

Sting did a great job in defeating Larcade thanks to Kagura's gravity magic.

I miss the old Minerva though, she was way cooler than she is now. Can't wait for the LucyxNatsuxHappy body bonding moment!

Well, larcade turned out to be a pretty minor character, but it was still a bit crazy to see the white shadow dragon and all the additional power boosts with no prior build up... you dont need to get to a certain power, you just get the power. Eh.
Minerva was so badass though, but now shes mellowed out and it seems like her magic actually wasnt that great.

Things will be heated next episode as we delve further into Erza's past; now what era is she from?

Damn.. i already had a strong hunch that Irene was Erza's mother (wich was confirmed today), but i didn't see that other revelation coming at all, the Queen of Dragons huh? I wonder what is her story, and also Erza's past right after her birth, and why was she abandoned by Irene. Quite interesting development, waiting for next week!

Also, Anna made that scarf for Natsu? Didn't see that one coming too.. I believe that Anna and Irene probably met back in the day as well, i wouldn't be surprised if there was any interaction between the two of them.

Queen of Dragons pogg, this season is indeed very informative on what kind if past did their ancstors had, the flash back will give us an idea if they used to be civilized with dragons or having their magic/power some sort.

And Larcade is out. Too bad he was beaten by Sting the jobber, but at least lasted more than some of his partners, so...

The flashback of the Kagura vs Erza vs Minerva from the last season was way too long and it was an obvious attempt to drag out the episode, but at least it reminded me of how good the animation of the fight was, compared to the ones of this season.

Irene flashback next week.

They finally begun change parts of the fights the first change was Larcade's Cross attack on Sting In the Manga it stabbed him Where's in the Anime it landed on Sting's Shoulder
Also this fight We got a change for Erza and Irene, here Erza used a new armor as seen in the Avatar Arc, And She used another armor to protect herself from the explosion where's in the Manga she only used Heaven's Wheel armor, these final Episodes is straying away from the Manga in some parts
And the OST played at Erza parts was a remix of Sabertooth theme

So the whole 'Irene is Erza's mother' thing wasn't much of a reveal but Irene's true identity? I did NOT see that coming!

Also Anna looks just like Lucy so i'm guessing that there is a shit tonne of fate at work here since all of the characters pasts are starting to link up from events waaaay beyond the story!

So she's her mother anyway, I assumed as much. Even though sister would've made more sense given that she looks so young, but I guess that's anime logic for you. Her father might be Acnologia if she is the queen of dragons?

Man that flashback had better animation than most of this season. Well Irene is reveled as Erza's mother which by now is no surprise. Well her backstory might be pretty cool anyway.

Man FT is just so dumb tho. They will stop at nothing to find a way to get Lucy naked. "Lucy rub your tits all over Natsu's face. It might wake him up."

Ok ending for the fight. I like Kagura's casual comment about her contribution to Sting's final attack.

ahhh... that flashback reminded me how disappointing that fight ended up being. Erza vs Minerva vs Kagura was set to be one of the most hype shounen fights of all time, then it ended up being trash. big sigh. I feel there's some real missed opportunity for triple threat anime fights.

Anyway, someone predicted long ago Irene is Erza's mother, and now knowing she's the "queen of the dragons" I suspect Erza is somehow the progeny of a long-forgotten generation too. Or Irene is a time mage, who knows.

Finally it was revealed. Irene is Erza's mother. Well to me it didn't came as a shock since it was spoiled here on the forums long time ago. Actually it was spoiled the moment she was introduced. -.- So much for that surprise. ^^

Larcade went fast down. I actually thought he would last a bit longer. Oh well. ^^
So only 4 members to defeat of the 12 Spriggan, where 2 of them have already been defeated. In other words, only Irene and August are left to defeat. Interesting how that will go.

Kagura.

Sting won?
After a dragons scales come off it loses it color.
Anna made Natsu's muffler.
Remove Lucy's clothes?
Kagura and Minerva.
Irene oppai.
Irene clapping. Dem swords. Dat flower circle.
Irene smells like Erza. From what Sting said... That means....
She's Erza's mother. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The former queen of the dragons?
Dat ending.

Dammit! Irene was perfection! I was hoping she'd be Erza's older sister when I first saw her, but once I saw the scar, I knew deep down she would be her mother and that it probably is a birth scar.

2 chapters. I guess the only thing is that Sting pushes his side and blood comes out.

Of course they had to shoehorn in ANOTHER reason to strip Lucy down... this time the cheesy cliche of "he needs warmth, so get naked & lay on him to save his life!"

This probably happens in only like 1 out of every 10 million lives, but in anime, every MC needs a good body-to-body nude warm up!

Took longer than usual but Larcade's out, for now atleast. But didn't think then they will pad out the flashbacks this longer lol.

Also about time they reveal the obvious, but Irene being the queen of dragons or whatever she claimed there not sitting well with plenty of things, may the backstory help.
