Fairy Tail II: Second Generation Thread Slayers

*groan.*

And let me guess, it's critical to following the plot line that I not skip this story arc, isn't it?

Do you care about Mist Gun?

If not...actually no it's completely irrelevant.

[Metahuman1]

Mysticgan? As in Dude who is and isn't totally linked to at least 3 character arcs by a conservative counting?

Cause if the answers no, then yeah, I may just bypass this story arc.

Yha, that guy. I forgot what the official name for him is, I've always called him Mist Gun. If you care about that guy, the arc is important. If you don't you can skip it.

[Metahuman1]

...

If he wasn't tied into Erza, Wendy and Jellal. *sigh*. No help for it.

I will also point out, that while i do consider it one of the weakest arcs, then it still has some avesome moments

It's not even that it's weak, it's that at the get go were saying the things that were most enjoyable, the characters, both for the awesome combat and there generally very charismatic personality's and arcs, and the really well done fight scenes, are out the window to make this set up happen.


But because Mystican has to be all tied up in a whole bunch of character arcs, and he HAS to be tied up in this one, I'm gonna be stuck druging through it.

...

How many eps is this arc anyway? Does it at least have the decency to be short?

I don't know how long it is since I've only read the manga.

I can skip this arc cause it has no appreciable impact on the story other then to get rid of one background character, and the bit twist is that the character we though was important to like 3 major characters character arcs is, in point of fact, not important at all as it happens? Do I have that right?

[chainer1216]

kinda, they also gain two more background characters.

i haven't seen that far in the anime but i kinda liked that arc in the manga, it had some really cool fights.

Spoiler

Show

Erza Vs Erza! alt Erza even uses the 10 commandments from rave masters!

[Metahuman1]

Right, so here's a question, what ep does this arc end at so I can skip ahead then.

[Soras Teva Gee]

Honestly folks is it that hard to look up Mystogan aka ミストガン (Misutogan)?

Although I don't think the Edolas arc is somehow particularly pointless, because that would imply that somehow the manga shouldn't have independent arcs... I just thought it wasn't very interesting once the gag was done.

Of course Pantherlily is freaking awesome, you might skim it for him just so you have straight how awesome he is.

[Zaydos]

I enjoyed some of the fights i.e. the two major ones Erza v Erza and the one where the three dragon slayers teamed up and kicked some tail, but otherwise it felt slow and like it didn't live up to the rest of the series that came before it.

[Metahuman1]

I'm sure I can run a search or two and find the two fights in video format so that I can watch them later on, but for now, I'd just like to know what ep this story arc ends with so I can cut across it.

...RIGHT, I forgot it explained what the cats are. And it had Gajeel's hilarious "...I WANT A CAT! ALL THE OTHER DRAGONSLAYERS HAVE CATS! I WANT A CAT" plot thread.

[Friv]

Edolas is a big arc for Happy and a core arc for Carla, and also a core arc for Mystogon and a decently important one for Natsu, Elfman and Mirajane.

Personally, I thought that it was a lot of fun, though, other than one fairly major plot development that kind of saddened me...

Spoiler: Big Edolas Spoiler

Show

The return of Lisanna through not entirely logical methods.

[Kato]

Oh, geez, the Edolas arc really is more important than one might think... I forgot about that as well... somehow
(Also, I don't think it's that bad. They're not dragging aout the mirror-Fairies that much from what I recall.

So, uhm... yeah, if you don't watch it at least let people tell you what happens or you might be confused. And in my opinion... just watch it?

[lord_khaine]

Or just read though the manga episodes?
They are a lot faster than seing the episodes, and still covers both the story, and the awesome moments, like Grey's fight.

[Spacewolf]

It also expands on one of my favorite character arcs so I liked that arc.

[Metahuman1]

Alright, So having look up what ep this arc ends on, I've come to the conclusion I'm just gonna bypass it and go back a bit later and watch the Erza vs Erza and triple drgonslayer team up fights.

Anyone care to lay out any other meaningful developments other then the following that happen?

Spoiler: Spoiler for some.

Lisanna Coming back and Mystogan apparently disappears for some reason?

Gajeel get's a cat that can become a muscle cat through magic. That's about it.

Spoiler: If you want to know why Mystogan goes away...

Mystogan is actually the alt universe version of Gerared/Jelelal/Whatever.

* Mystogan is Jellal from another universe, and so remains in the universe that he is from.
* Carla and Happy are also from another universe, as are all sorts of other cat people, some of whom will return in future arcs as minor characters.
* Carla thought her mission from her people was to kill Wendy, and was super-torn up about it. Now she's feeling guilty about it.
* Gajeel recruits a third cat, Panther Lily, who will be hanging around going forwards. He can shapeshift into a cat-human.
* Lisanna was sucked into another universe a long time ago. She's back now.
* The our-universe version of a bunch of the Edolas characters will re-appear in a future filler arc.

Natsu beats Jackal up pretty badly even punching him in the face when he's about to say something (that was pretty funny, actually) Too bed he stops mid-pummel because (???). Anyway, Jackal starts threatening council guy who won't tell anything about something he doesn't know anything about. Something called Faith and/or white inheritance. We'll see.

Jackal turns the tides when he reveals anything he touches becomes a bomb. And now Natsu is a bomb. Ouch?

So basically Natsu is fighting Bombietta Basterbine from Bleach. Unfortunately he's not an invincible zombie ghost werewolf, and thus gets wrecked.

Though...didn't they JUST show Natsu not get hurt by the explosion at all and then eat it? Also, one day a manga is going to have an explosion based character who isn't tied to fire. Because explosions aren't fire god damnit.

Natsu can eat explosions, but if it's parts of his body that are viciously exploding, eating them is not going to really help his situation.

Which one would that be? I presume Fairy Tail since that one actually has some understandablility to it.

There could of been a THIRD villian this week who turns things into explosions that came out before Bleach.

Wasn't entirely sure, sorry
