Fairy Tail 278 Discussion/ 279 Predictions

[Zero]

Knew Elfman is going to win. I'm disapointed with Bacchus, was that it? I'm having a hard time imagining Erza who uses swords having a hard time with a guy who only uses his hand. I have expected more from him and Elfman.

Eclipse. Sounds to me that Zeref wants the spirit world to overlap this world and he needs a summoning tool which only Lucy can provide.

Bacchus's strong point does not lie within his attack power (though it is still considerable), but his evasive, unpredictable movements. You can have an almighty sword, but if you can't hit, then it's meaningless. The reason why Erza and Bacchus could end up in an impasse, is because one is a dodging-counter specialist and the other defense-attack specialist. You are not only unable to hit, but you are even countered instead and you can't counter yourself, then the only options left are to dodge, or defend, or what Elfman did. In the end it's all about endurance and will power... still, he might have fallen to less direct attacks, or an area spell.


I don't think that Zaref's will is in accordance to their plans, especially since his "awakening" wasn't what he wanted or even needed. Zeref's magic itself, is similar to Tenrou Island's(TI) magic protection, it turns emotions and feelings in to magic/power. Not to mention that his retirement was taking place at TI.

here the thing some people are going to take this fight the wrong way. some are going to say wow he was weaker than we thought. but i dont see that as the case. i see it as wow elfman has gotten strong. i think B. would have given a lot of people seen as stronger than elfman a lot of trouble and could have possibly beaten them. i mean freid, bixlow and even gray would have had fits with this guy. they could have even lost to him. elfman had a good quality win aginst and really strong guy. i think erza would have even had trouble with him. i really dont think we can take anything away from elfman here.

I liked this chapter! Wasn't how I thought it would end up but that made it all the better lol. I like how Elfman was more brains this time than braun, and he has a pretty cool takeover now! He needs to go on a side arc and do a long mission of discovering strong beasts and learning their takeover hehe. I like that Lucy is a main focus point of a major arc this time! Now she gets some limelight and hopefully some new skills/keys/powers/etc.

The thing with Elfman or his big sister is that they can do many takeovers but some are really better overall. So his sister ends up allways in her devil one.

Even him had to think a while before deciding to go with this lizard take over. It's probably not the one he likes best, and hence we didn't get to see it until now. He probably have many other ones.
