Fairy Tail

I was also wondering that. She did cast a speed buff on herself while in Edolas.

Maybe she can buff herself to a win or something. Not sure about the quality, but maybe she needs to learn how to eat the air better. Jellal gave her that idea if I'm not mistaken.

As for a third team, not sure but I think the rules aloud a maximum of 2 teams? I'll have to go back and re-read it

Funny thing is, FT was able to get two teams to qualify. Either their really lucky or FT has more higher class mages than the other guilds or the other guilds are just that confident in their top 5.

Ah yea, you're right.

I think the former.

Even Sabertooth, there was mention that the reason they've become prominent in the last 7 years is because of 5 new super-strong members. So if there was a Sabertooth B team, no way was it strong enough to qualify (and knowing them, that mean they didn't try).

Lamia Scale's supposed to be pretty big, but their next-five are likely only so-so in power and didn't make it. Likewise Blue Pegasus and Mermaid Heel.

Also some guilds may have eliminated themselves completely by dividing their good people out. I.e. a guild might be able to make a team as strong as Quattro Cerberus's or stronger, but decided to divide it out and ended up being placed out entirely.

Heck, at the start of the series FT probably couldn't pull off 2. Laxus might or might not have been willing to compete, ditto Mystogan. Mirajane was out. Lucy was weak. Elfman couldn't do full beast takeover. No Juvia or Gajeel either.

It'd be Erza, Natsu, Gray, then unless one of the 'maybes' joins you're into second tier FT members. Like Loke when he had to rely on his rings, and Cana.

FT's higher level power has exploded massively during the series, due to level ups (Mirajane and Elfman both gaining full takeover, Lucy going from 3 keys to 10), recruitments (the two former Phantom members), and the does-his-own-thing Laxus and his team becoming much more committed to the guild.

Agreed, Fairy Tail did get significantly stronger as the series progressed.

Who would have thought Lucy getting 10 Zodiac keys, including Leo the leader of the Zodiacs.

The clincher is the way Lisana was brought back and Mirajane's power coming back in the process.

You know, if they weren't a dark guild (and disbanded), Grimoire Heart could make a pair of nasty teams. They're the only other guild we know with enough uber mages for the task. The 7 kin, and at least two other pretty powerful low-ranked members we saw.

Throw in Bluenote and it would be one crazy as strong team.

Ah yea, though it'd be crazy strong even without that ^^ Bluenote as team leader on one, Ultear or Azuma on the other.

And that'd give us a full 10 members. Put the two non-kin on Bluenote's to even things out, and pick two other minor guild members as alts...

how about oracion seis? even before the time skip, they were considered as one of the most powerful dark guilds around. if they were legit, they'd probably give every other guild a run for their money

They've got 6 people period, and guild masters can't join, so forming two teams is flat-out for them (I mean, unless you count the guilds that reported to them, but those guilds sucked).

Their one team would be extremely badass, though. No weak links.

Well I just read the latest chapter of Fairy Tale w/o any prior knowledge of the series. All I was able to understand were boobs and giant monsters being killed.

That Erza chick is bawss though after reading Berserk I'm scared of female characters being partially nude around giant monster...bad times 🙁

I've decided to follow this series after powering through Negima.

Yea, the latest chapter is a nice sample in that it's badass while being pretty much spoiler free.

^ Well this time I read another new chapter and all I got out of it were more boobs and hips 😐...and uber energy blasts. Really uber energy blasts to boot.

Now back to Negima so I can get to this awesome yet boobalicious manga series.

You might want to go back to the beginning now ^^ You'll lack context for some stuff as things go forward.

Though figuring out as you go could be fun too.

I wonder when Fairy Glitter is going to become one of Cana's permanent spells.

Spoiler:
And much bigger than her glitter last time!

^ Okay, well I was just curious is all. Well I'm not going to read this until I finish Negima so it'll be awile.

Maybe it never will. Or maybe it will once the "real" battle begins and she has to dig deep down. Unfortunately, she's a second or third stringer and probably wont in favor of one of the main cast. But that was insane nonetheless.

Next is Laxus VS Alexei, I'm seeing Laxus getting beaten good just to establish Raven Tail's power.

It would have been better if it were Laxus vs the other lightning user.

Poor Laxus, really gets no love. But I really do hope that i'm wrong here.

We really almost never see her normal magic ^^

She was a candidate for the S-class trial, so I suspect she's the next level down below Gray/Juvia/etc..

Well, it's Laxus. The fight should still be epic.

However I suspect Raven Tail might be aiming for something other than purely wining the fight.

Dude, chapter was awesome. Fairy Tail is quickly becoming the best manga I'm reading. I love this over-the-top stuff. Jura is awesome, as expected. He busted out his score without an amp. I take back what I said: I do not think Erza would beat Jura. However, I do think Erza would make it interesting, at least.

Still, shit's gettin' real. I think putting up with the loss after loss from fair tail is now worth it because they are not winning just by a little bit, anymore: they are ****in' shit up. 😄

"broke the mpf" 😆

And name it something other than "fairy glitter". So stupidly gay.

I always thought Jura was stronger than Erza even during the Oracion Seis arc. He also has 7 years more of getting stronger as compared to Erza's boost.

Next chapter should be epic.

As for fairy glitter, Mavis was a girl after all, so its not really gay if you think about it. Unless of course if one of the manly men (Elfman for instance) were to use it, then it will truly be gay

But honestly, i was really interested in how much Cana's magic would output. I was hoping on her being in the range of 1500-2000. too bad she had to go fairy glitter on us.

or she could be on the level above Juvia/Gray etc. Only real showing she has is with her fright with Freed. Without the rune script traps, I'm betting she would have done better though she'd eventually loose.

The level above Juvia/Gray? Natsu's level? It doesn't seem likely.

Remember when Makarov was talking about last hopes of beating Laxus, he mentioned Natsu and Gray. And against Freed/Bickslow with Lucy (with no traps), and Bluenote, her base magic didn't seem that powerful, though it is versatile and she was clever.

Or on the occasions when Lucy wishes heavier backup was around, she always mentions Juvia and Gajeel, not Cana.

Overall she seems a solid member, but the others rate her a little lower too.

yeah, he mentioned that none of the two could beat Laxus.

The fight with Bixslow and Freed was obviously a joke fight. I mean, none of the two girls tried to really fight but instead tried to take advantage of Freed's made up weakness to sexy chicks.

As for Lucy always thinking of Gajeel or Juvia, thats because these two are secondary characters next to the main cast. Its natsu/gray/Lucy/Wendy/Erza then Gajeel/Juvia, then Laxus/Cana/Levi/Rajinshu then etc.

Also, Cana's failed the S-class exam 4 times, Erza got promoted at age 15, so the 1st time, Erza won since Erza is what 19 and less 4 = 15. Then Mira got promoted a year after Erza, so that makes Mira the one passing the exam during the second time Cana took the exam. Then we no longer have any S-classes so nobody passed during the last 2 years or something.

We really can't gauge if she is stronger or weaker than gray since even Laxus has more showings that she does. All we have is that she's Guildarts' daughter the end.

But since she's been nomitated 4 more times already and Natsu and Grey only got nominated once, we can assume that she's stronger or better than both Natsu and Grey during the years before fairy tail manga started.
