----------------------------------------
Mm, so this episode dealt more with Gajeel and his selfless acts. What a guy. Levy is one lucky girl to have met him.

Looks like Brandish decided to take her own action this episode against August. A very risky move if you ask me. Looks like we got a glimpse more of Irene's powers again.

The Gajeel x Levy part was just wow. Seriously one of my favorite moments in the whole series. I didn't tear up in the manga, but this episode pushed me over the edge.

Mest was savage, but he picked the wrong enemy :D

Ah and Irene using Universe One was also pretty cool. This is one hell of a spell.

It was kinda sad but it didn't hit me because almost nobody ever dies in this anime and it wasn't a proper "dead body on screen" thing. I'm like 99.9% sure he's coming back (never read the manga so not a spoiler)

Gajeel has always been one of the best characters in the cast, just the total package. In the end he obtained Dragon Force when he ingested the iron in the bane particles. Universe One is a new age magic that can basically bend the laws of physics with enchantments, the war is about to be over sooner than later going off Irene's words. I wouldn't rule out Gajeel's death until we see what the magic can do, looked gorgeous tho.

Love Brandish too, at the Spriggan 12 meeting August acknowledged they were all pawns to Zeref's endgame plan, now Brandish sees the war as just genocide for Fairy Heart's power, Zeref's contradictions and his mind are so fucked up he's causing destruction for the fun to where his own soldiers are seeing through his game, making Irene use a magic Zeref didn't want her to use. I love when villains retain their own mindset and moviations. It's just a shame the Spriggan 12 weren't utilized fully and the pacing of the anime makes it even worse cause it's even faster than the manga but that's my only complaint.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts regarding this episode too, good job!

Just when negotiations was going somewhere, Mest comes up with the brilliant idea of taking down August. Mate, he wouldn’t be the ‘strongest’ among the 12 if he were to be taken down by a little stab. I hope Natsu gives him a good whack later on but things are looking far more grave for him to even spare such a thought.

Poor Gajeel though, those flashbacks and the accompanying music really made it a heartrending moment. God, he just wanted a family and yet life made sure he wouldn’t. Knowing Fairy Tail though, it’s only a matter of time before he comes back all fit so definitely not looking forward to that xD.

Irene, on the other hand, pulled off some scary magic right there! Even the composed badass Acnologia and the Master, Zeref, himself is impressed. A hint regarding Irene being some mysterious magician is revealed, I wonder how she got hold of such an ancient bothersome spell. I’d expect no less from


Next episode preview promises some more interesting developments, looking forward to seeing Zeref and Mavis meet and Irene take care of Royal Guards for whatever reason (is she planning to go for a conquest of her own?).

Forgot how much of a badass Irene is. Even August wanted no business with her. Still a little bit annoyed with how the whole Mest thing went down. I mean, Brandish is on a whole different level from him. And somehow his magic is able to effect her? Idk, maybe it's because her guard was down and so was Augusts so he didn't sense it or something but I wasn't a fan. I gotta say, I think August looked cooler in the manga and I rarely say that.

Gajeel cut some onions for me when I did't ask for it. But he'll come back right? This is still a fairy tale right?

And all the final bosses are making a show of might, those were cool. August's rage was the coolest. I had to be thankful for that stupid Mest for triggering it.

Mest's PIS is just so fucking forced. When did he implant the memories? No build up whatsoever. Just out of knowhere he manipulated Brandish.

So, they killed Gajeel huh? The character reached his ultimate growth, sad for Levy but a good end story-wise. It's FT so I expected a last-second miracle but..no!

As for Irene she seems so confident in this spell, even Acnologia seems to fear it! Who is she? Can't wait to learn about it next week.

The preview is weird, with Zeref already with Mavis, maybe because of Irene's spell?

It's hard to wait week after week with FT :(

Wow, Mest putting a memory into Brandish was double-bullshit. First he isn't nearly strong enough to do that and second he shouldn't be stupid enough to even try that. Irene vs Acnologia was too short as expected, let's see how that weird spell will work. Gajeel dying was.. unexpected? And not really fitting for this show.

By the way, what the fuck is wrong with Mest?! That negotiation was going going so well and decides to pull that stunt? Stupid asshole.

Also, i have a feeling that Cana & Mavis just destroyed the only weapon that could stop Acnologia...

My fav ship💙💙💙. Proly the best ep this season. The fights aren't good at all this whole season so the I like these eps which focus more on char relationships.
Irene is so badass and ofc Acnologia is the coolest villain in FT. Hoping to see their fight next ep.

Everyone has their taste so I'm not gonna argue. My main problem with Gajell DF is that I dont really see any difference between his "metalic" form and DF. Oh well, at least he finally got DF. Too bad that his fight was so anticlimatic.

Theirs actually a couple differences, theirs the scales, his rigid hair and his iron has a darker hue. His fight was actually one of the better ones in this entire arc. Have you read the manga? Cause basically the rest of the fights from this point on are fucking garbage, especially

Geez, Mest has to be one of the dumbest mo-fos in anime history with that colossaly stupid plan of his.

Also, wasn't really feeling any sadness during Gajeel's 'death' scene, since, I mean, it is Fairy Tail and he is a beloved main character, so he'll probably be back to being alive again within like 5 episodes thanks to the power of Magical Friendship or something.

Gotta echo other posts, I couldn't get too worked up over Gajeel's death because so many people have "died" except actually didn't... even in just this arc! I liked the sentiment though, a real change for Gajeel from when he was part of Phantom Lord to now, in part because of his love for Levy.

I was really shocked by Mest's actions though, that caught me completely offguard. Seemed a little too cold-blooded and calculating for the guild and him, but oh well. Really shakes things up and I can't wait to see how Brandish reacts once she gets her senses back.

And I absolutely hated the idea of
It just feels cheap and tacked on usually. But Irene's growing on me. She's calm but menacing, great VA, kinda sexy, and has been one of the most interesting Spriggan 12 (not a high bar, granted...)

Not dragging up old discussions I'm just a bit behind, but what do you mean mest isn't strong enough to do that? He convinced all of fairy tail he was a member, even though he really was, BUT also the magic council that he really wasn't, as well as fairy tail that he really wasn't when he really was.... wasnt was .... this headache is Mest/DoranBolts power, that and his zippidy doo da ness. I don't think it would be to unreasonable to assume that August would drop his guard for a comrade. While every onlooker can go, how dumb, how weak, don't forget this is a war against an army that wants them dead. It's a little kiddy anime so they often fail at delivering that sentiment. We can all go, "should have gave her a chance", but Brandish herself made it known they were still enemies. Despite us all wanting the opposition to learn the errors of their ways, they are still an overwhelmingly powerful force trying to kill them, so mestibolt saw an opportunity and took it. Id have probably done the same thing. Then again, after learning about zerriffs contradictions, Id have used my ability to convince the black wizard that he loves himself. Anywho, I got some catching up to do. In summary, dude is not as weak as you think.

About half-through the final season. Seeing Gajeel "die" and being send to another dimension was a meh reaction. I have seen enough to know he will miraculously somehow come back to life.

Irene's power on the other hand was really interesting. To reconstruct a whole continent is some amazing power. It can even be threatening to Acknologia himself. Seeing the preview he can be turned into a mouse or something smaller. Hahaha

Very fine ep. I suppose I have to wait 4-5 more moths for more ep. from Koten Gars. Oh well, I can wait I suppose. ^^

Okay, this was a damn good episode. Yeah sure I know Gajeel is probably coming back, but it didn't look like it within the context of this episode specifically, especially with how much development was spent focusing on his goodbye. No tears on my end, but it was a powerful moment, and it was heavy enough I actually believe there's a slim possibility Gajeel is really gone.

And that moment with Mest, Brandish, and August was a real "holy shit" from me. That was a crazy good twist and I was shook. Mest's getting a lot of hate in this thread and I kind of get it, but he also did something legit. He found an opportunity and seized it. There was no guarantee August could be convinced to back down, even having agreed to a temporary ceasefire.

In other news, I guess we're never gonna get an explanation for Mavis' projection. F

2 1/2 chapters. When Levy was on the ground looking at Gajeel get sucked in, her booty was showing. They didn't show Mavis' naked body falling out. They didn't show Irene's pantsu when she was flipping. The anime actually added Hisui and the king.
