Well, I didn't think I'd come back here anytime soon.

I thought I was gonna delete this book since it was kinda pointless, but here we are.

I want to get back into my Fairy Tail groove. For you guys and myself. I want to give you more of the book you love to death.

And I miss a lot of these guys. Juvia, Wendy, Jellal, Yukino, Meredy, Mavis, a lot of some of my favorite characters from anime/manga are from this show and I'd love to get back into it.

So here we are. Ever since that last chapter, I haven't read a single page of the manga.

And as a result, I got spoiled about something.

There were a few vague things that may be spoilers, but I got a bona fide minor spoiler from one of my favorite commenters. (Please don't blame them, this is my fault for being behind, so don't yell at them. Be kind. And I'll tell you what was spoiled when it happens.) And some other minor spoilers.

So anyway, let's begin my return to the Wizards of Fiore Pla- I mean Fairy Tail.

Got a great cover for the 500 issue milestone. Got the colors and that Gruvia there. I approve, Mashima.

Great colored page, too. I love Brandish's green hair.

I've also decided to change the formatting for these reviews. Instead of posting the whole page, I'll post highlighted panels.

I love Brandish's character, to be honest. Right here, this shows how deeply she cares about Lucy ever since their big bonding moment before Jacob's fight. People say she's like Juvia, but the thing is this bit here is unlike that. Juvia refused to not fight Gray at first, even though she loved him, but Brandish is going to fight Fairy Tail, but spare her friends. It's an interesting thing.

This can't be good.

Dimaria is pissed at her lesbian lover.

I think Brandish is in for trouble. And make it double.

"Reduced to zero" "Your friends will die today." What made her think that? I'm curious.

And the Sandman is still fighting the two youngest Strauss siblings.

Does anybody else want to see some Elfman and Mira sibling bonding? Like, ever since Lisanna came back, we've seen her and Mira fighting together and Elfman fighting to protect her. We haven't seen much of Elfman and Mira on their own.

HA! "If I shut my eyes, I can't see your giant exposed boobs! Take that!" Jacob, you idiot. You're like that metal guy from the Deadpool movie.

That's some irony right there. Rogue is fighting the shadowy death man.

And Juvia's dead. I kinda forgot that. Now I'm sad. But she'll be back, right? Hopefully not in the next two chapters, or that will really take the emotion out of 499.

IN THE FUCKING FACE!

AND THE GLASSES BROKE!

TAKE THAT, KRISTOPH GAVIN!

Man, Gray is pissed about Juvia's death. Good. Keep that Gruvia coming.

Ice Knight.

So, why does Invel want to freeze Gray forever? Didn't he say that Gray is the only one that can defeat E. N. D.? It might not be true, but if Imvel thinks that, he shouldn't be doing this.

Knew it. I feel like that was either an empty threat or Gray was too OP. He said Gray couldn't beat him, and he did. Is that a Spriggan down?

Fuck, Neinhart went from a man bitch to a psychopath in no time at all. Impressive.

Oh, and then Natsu turned him back into a man bitch. Actually he went further. He's probably pudding by now. Two Spriggans down?

I'm disappointed. Nienhart was hyped to the extreme and yet both fights he went down too soon. Also, this time around, he got an upgrade only to be defeated by a Natsu friendship punch. Come on, Mashima! I don't know if this is the climax arc or the finale arc of Fairy Tail, but either way give us some harder bad guys!

Also, I love how Happy is actually being smart/listening by thinking the "Lady Erza" talk is important. Don't ignore that! Ask Brandish or something!

...Are you fucking kidding me?

I am so happy she's back, don't get me wrong, but ONE CHAPTER!?

GAJEEL HAD MORE TIME BEING "DEAD" THAN THAT!

This is worse than the big "Episode Two Ending" scare of Danganronpa 3.

Invel's tangent makes me want to start a series of YouTube where we "Let's Dub: Fairy Tail: The Manga". It might be fun. Invel would have something like NicoB's Kristoph Gavin or Isaac Dover voice.

Oh shit.

Shits is gonna go DOWN.

500 chapters and Gray knows where the final boss is.

Unless Acnologia is gonna be the final villain. Or Zeref. But I like Zeref and I feel like he might become a good guy after enough hard work.

Well, that was a good chapter. Not an A+, mind you. Intel and Neinhart went down too fast. And Juvia came back too quickly. But she's alive! And Gray knows who E. N. D. really is! And next chapter's title looks like it's about to be about Dimaria and Brandish facing each other about Brandish's decision. I'm excited.

Well, that's pretty much it.

This is The Emerald Legend, signing out! Peace!
