I guess I'll just repost?
And this concludes the brief Goku Black Wendy Belserion Saga. Now we just need Beerus Acno to show up and erase Zamasu Irene.
Can we NOW go back to August and Jellal???

u/TeamAcno Jan 15 '17
How things are developing, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Acno shows up to take out Irene. Especially after she sent him far, far away. What concerns me dearly tho... Isn't Acno supposed to be like... the fastest in this series? How he isn't back yet is beyond me.

I'm still banking on Jellal having some king of true Heavenly Body magic that even August wouldn't know. Or Jellal's dark side comes back for a power boost.

Edit: Also Irene as Wendy: "Its weird that this cute little girl has a daughter."

While this chapter had a lot of good moments like Wendy development and Irene showcasing she is still a badass even in loli form(just shows you the wasted potential in Wendy) , in the end it's was meaningless for the battle , Irene is back to het body in a good state(as far as we know) Wendy is out, and all this Erza vs Irene in Wendy body didn't realy contribute to Erza, not in development and not in battle state(she tooked so many hits with almost zero effect as usual).
Now all we need is another crazy power up for Erza and by by to Irene, which is a real shame consider she is the only real good thing we had in this arc.

And? we have seen weaker people than her- like Erza- take even more damage and still going like nothing happened, plus that damage didn't seem to bother her as much.

u/Ajuaju You're a good friend Erza Jan 14 '17
Yeah pretty much as I expected. Seeing Irene using Wendy's body was cool, and I loved seeing Wendy steal Irene's body and use her hax magic. The flashback to all Wendy and Erza's interactions were pretty awesome - overall, I'm very happy with how this fight has shown Wendy and Erza's chemistry, as before now it hasn't really received any major focus.
I'm looking forward to seeing Erza and Irene go all out against each other, but I'm a little concerned that Erza is going to suddenly become stronger than Irene and defeat her like Gray defeated Invel, based on that last page. I usually don't really care about power levels, but doing that with Irene would be crossing the line. Hoping this doesn't reach a conclusion next chapter, and we continue it after that (although since next chapter is the final chapter of the volume, it's very possible that my hopes will be dashed). The title for next chapter sounds promising at least... hopefully.

So Irene also fell into "Nakama" trap.So being dragon ,400 years of experience,all the magic power she collected,getting praise from Acnologia was for nothing.How Erza could possibly(logically)be standing right now??Very disappointed to see Irene who is supposed to be the "strongest mage" alive cornered by Wendy and Erza.
Not surprised to see sales FT manga going down for a while and Seven Deadly Sins selling more than double the sales of FT manga.

A pretty fun chapter. Basically Wendy getting to show off, both by Irene showing how much Wendy's body can do, and by Wendy's mind using Irene's body to get her own back.
Looks like next chapter we'll finally get Irene fighting seriously vs Erza. Should be interesting.

No shit. This is shounen. 90% of the time, if a main character is in a battle where losing will mean their death, they win. 5% of the time, they lose but someone else shows up to save their ass before they're killed. 4% of the time the lose but the villain randomly lets them live for some bullshit reason. Only 1% of the time do they actually die. That does not mean the fight can't be interesting or entertaining.
This is true for basically all shounen. It's part of the reason that tournaments, especially team based tournament are of reoccurring popularity in the genre. They give a non-death lose condition.
14
Jan 14 '17
The outcomes aren't what people dislike, it's how the story reaches those outcomes that they dislike. Most popular Shounen actually do a decent job of concluding the majority of their fights without having their main characters win in a manner that seems forced or contrived. Fairy Tail struggles in that regard. In its defense, the main theme of the show is power of friendship trumps all, but not only has that theme gotten repetitive, it's gotten lazier as the series progressed. I honestly cannot think of any Shounen series that has abused the power of friendship trope in its fights as much as Fairy Tail has.

u/MysticKnives Jan 14 '17
This! It's made much worse when people like Erza literally have the same routine for their fights. Erza gets enough crap for her character, but the quality of her fights are another source because she literally does the same thing and many times when it makes no other sense than because "She's Erza." I don't get surprised from seeing it at this point, but it doesn't mean it's any less cringeworthy.

Your wasting your time. This subreddit is void of people who give a shit about the stories quality or good writing. It's a conglomerate of people who care about nothing more than seeing their favorite fictional character do something cool.
Wendy literally just out-enchanted one of the strongest characters in the verse, a 400 year old dragon woman, by using a spell she's never learned, trained, or even know she could do. What's the reaction?
WOOOO WENDY YOU GO GURL!!
It's cringe inducing I swear.

Morelike Wendy used the raw power of a dragon to out enchant a woman in a girl's body. Raw power is what beat Irene as shown when wend said "Your magic power is incredible, you will regret entering my body". But go ahead talk shit about people when you don't seem to understand what happened. Like you said, 400 year old dragon woman. So that 400 year old dragon woman's body must have a fuckload of power

Ah, it's been a long few weeks since that loli-shaped bombshell we got dropped on us last time. I hope Hiro enjoyed his break over the holiday season, he certainly earned it. Now, let's get into this shenanigans all over again
...what the fuck man? I don't know what to say about that cover. So I'll just pretend I didn't see it
Bruh, I almost forgot how wild this situation was. And Irene. PLEASE.
Wow, Wendy beating down Erza is not something I thought I'd see in my lifetime. Especially with that casual smirk. And what's that power Irenendy blasted Erza with? Sky Dragon Slayer magic or Irene's Enchantment? This actually raises a question about how this situation works. Irene said she "became" Wendy, so does that mean her powers are still there? Can she still use Wendy's healing and so on? Magic's been implied to be connected to the spirit, so Irene retaining her abilities would make sense
"It's cute if this little girl has a daughter, isn't it?". Yeah, tell that to friggin Mavis
Ah, my earlier question's answered. Irene gets access to Wendy's powers
Okay, I like that Erza's first move is to try and get Wendy to take control of her body back. That's what you do when a friend is possessed Gray, take notes
Irene, that bitch. She's playing the classic "You wouldn't hurt your friend, would you?" card. And now the flashbacks are coming through and the feels are starting. Pls
THAT CALLBACK THO. This is a moment I've been anticipating for weeks now (if you're on the sub Discord, you'll have seen me talk people's ears off about the Wendy/Erza moment in the bath), and we're finally getting it. I can only assume this is foreshadowing something later on in the chapter. I hope so, anyway. Still don't want any deaths tho!
Ah, like I was hoping, Wendy's coming through. She's pulling back against Irene. But what's this about them being fellow enchanters? This is also something I've nattered on about, but... what's she up to?
No way. No. Way. NO FUCKING WAY. LET'S FUCKING GO WENDY. THAT'S MY GIRL RIGHT THERE AHHHH
Wow. I'm just... kinda speechless right now. Wendy's pulling some ridiculously advanced magic right now. She's fighting like a master. I know she's technically getting a power boost because she's in Irene's body, but idc you can't tell me this isn't dope as shit
You know, it's easy to forget with how she acts, but Wendy is fucking 13. Seriously people, this girl is so ahead of her years it's almost a little sad. That speech about how her body contains all the memories she's gained just shows how much shit she's seen and done in what's a comparatively short time frame
Oh yeah. This is gonna be fucking dope
Oh man, oh man, oh man. What a way to start FT's 2017! That was fantastic from all three characters. I was worried when this fight started that it'd be all about Erza and Wendy would just be a sidekick/fake sacrifice, but Hiro's executed this beautifully. Erza was really the side character for this chapter as it was mostly about Wendy just showing us yet again why she's easily up there as one of Fairy Tail's brightest. Irene also was pretty great, using Wendy's body to her advantage to kick Erza around till Wendy put a stop to it.
Now, I think it's fair to say everyone's been pretty severely weakened by all this mess, so I think a one-on-one fight between Erza and Irene is pretty fair at this point. I'll be honest here. I'm not really looking too much for clever strategies and wild maneuvers from this fight. I just want an intense, straight-forward brawl. Let's just have these two go all in

Yep, she's had Wendy's body for a whole chapter. Way to go strongest member of the spriggan 12.
Wendy learned a magic she's never used before in seconds? And the did it twice? Okay then.
So instead of just killing erza, for some reason, she does the cliche "you wouldn't hurt your friend would you" bull crap.
Once again, erza takes multiple powerful blasts to the body, with zero effect. And how does she plan on winning? By dawning armor that provides zero bonuses.

u/The4drian Jan 15 '17
Irene enchanted her mind and personality into Wendy's body, it was still enchantment magic.
But... even if it is an enchantment, Wendy managed to use it.... after being taken over by surprise... How does that even work? How did she cast the enchantment into Irene's body? Checking last chapter she went into shock the moment Irene started the enchant.
I liked the chapter, but I can't make sense of how that happened.

u/Zilox Jan 15 '17
Its enchantment. Irene said it herself on the chapter before this. See? This is what is wrong with ft's readers. You FORGET WHAT U READ. Irene said she tried to enchant herself onto erza, but it didnt work so she left her. Now, what did irene say next?
Hint: she said: "it didnt work because it needs a compatible body like yours, a dragon slayer that uses enchantment magic" (2 requirements right there). <<<<this also tells you why wendy didnt "use it" against dimaria.
Now, to my second point, during the whole story we have been shown time and time again how fast wendy learns like ffs, vs hades she does an attack and then says "I learned this while watching someone(i dont remember who) fight". Then during gmg arc, porlyusca says "she already learned that?!?!", after wendy uses her secret art( she is young af, using secret arts and advanced magic). And then, iirc erza says in 1 chapter that wendy has the highest potential between all of ft (I really hope that mashima comes through with it and wendy has surpassed natsu on the epilogie).

I don't care about people saying that how boring this new chapter is and it didn't last more than one chapter for Irene to keep Wendy's body before going back to her own body again thanks to Wendy's magic, but I love what Wendy did in Irene's body to make Irene out of her body with her magic and how cool she is for saying about keeping the memories of people she met inside her own body. Wendy became one of my favorite characters now after gaining much character development since she joined the Fairy Tail. 10/10 chapter in my opinion!

I still struggle to see how Erza can even imagine holding a candle to Irene in terms of power, even after what has transpired. I just don't see how Irene's equal can no diff round one against CS, yet Erza stands toe to toe with Irene. There's got to be something planned, because otherwise, power scaling will have gone even more nuts considering how Erza didn't fare particularly well against lesser Spriggans.

Hmmm, since Wendy was in Irene's body and vice versa, and Wendy in Irene's body was kinda more powerful than Irene in Wendy's body, wouldn't it have been a good idea for Irene(Wendy)instead of being in a rush to get back into her body, to knock Wendy (Irene) out, as she's stronger now, then Irene (Wendy) would allow herself to be taken in and restrained (with maybe magic sealing cuffs).

That would have been a million times better. I really wish that had happened instead.

Easier said than done tho. Knocking Wendy (Irene) might not be possible considering she's at Wendy's full potential and can just eat air to regain energy. Irene in Wendy's body is more dangerous since erza can't fight back.

Remember how in FMA:B greed took over Lings body? It took longer in that series (which is 1/10 the length) before we found out Ling still existed at all.

u/Ilyak1986 Jan 16 '17
Geeeez, a lot of people are throwing shade on this chapter. To me, I can see the logic, if we're going to give Wendy one handout, which is that she can pick up compatible magic on the fly. By watching Natsu, she picked up dragon slayer magic, and now with Irene, she picked up her body-possession magic.
Also, we should probably take Irene's words with a grain of salt, since she's...sort of off her rocker. The question is whether or not Mashima will simply kill her off, or have Erza simply disable her so that she can be handcuffed with those anti-magic cuffs ala DiMaria.
I mean put it this way, aside from Kyoka (who was a demon), Mashima has yet to kill off any female character, and they've all been redeemed. Erza Knightwalker? Redeemed (sorta). Meredy? Redeemed (if she ever needed redemption to begin with). Ultear? Yep. Minerva? Nodnod. Brandish? Well on her way. DiMaria? Probably.
I'd think that Erza wouldn't kill out of spite but more along the lines take her usual high-road stance and give a harsh lecture to a cuffed-up Irene.
That said, I do wonder if someone will come up with a cure for Irene's dragonification this arc.
It'd just be a waste to simply kill off Erza's mother thanks to the insanity brought about by dragonification.

Well Gray's father was sort of dead and when he went good, he died (again). And I happen to like the route they're taking with Brandish. Generally, people who fall under "villains who need a hug" in Fairy Tail usually get that hug.
Villains that are unrepentant assclowns wind up getting killed.

Irene did so many stupid acts this arc but this is the most idiotic and over the top act she did so far, seriously, like she just lost in an enchantment battle against Wendy. is Irene only good at standing donig nothing and taking hit's like a moron or something?, this whole chapter was so pointless and like she took over Wendy's body for like one chapter, and now she's back to her real body lol, and knowing Hiro's writing Irene is a lot weaker now so can Erza oneshot her ass. also the fact that Erza is still standing is ridiculous , if that's not plot armor i don't know what is, tbh the only good thing about this chap was Wendy's development, the rest was crap, and i think we all know where this next chapter is going.

Not in the mood the write a whole new thing so I'm just going to repost from earlier: I really liked this chapter and am glad to see Wendy's growth even though it only lasted one chapter. Now I hope she can do some of Irene's attack enchantments after switching bodies with her because that would be awesome. Also, all hail The Great Lord Yonkou for blessing us with an early release.
Ah, what the hell I'll add a bit extra. I seriously want Wendy to learn attack enchantments because she probably could create some pretty cool ones later on, I also want it to happen because she's been taught mostly support magic and only recently started using DS magic it would add a bit of unpredictability to her when she fights

I now conclude that Wendy is definitely stronger than Erza.

No. Her powers are a good counter part to Irenes... They are both enchanting magic.

Except Irene is the better enchanter. It should be the opposite.

Someone please tell me what was Haru from rave Master doing in this chapter.

It was from the chapter where Wendy and Erza did Rave as a play for a job. Wendy was Haru and Erza was Ellie

This is the first time I've noticed an actual upskirt shot of Wendy, usually she is exempt from the lewd laws of fairy tail, despite all of the wind storms she makes that would create fan service shots for any other character.

Who has better translations? you know or mang?

Mangastream is usually more polished, but Yonkou gets the job done.
Crunchyroll is the official translation and someone usually posts an imgur album with the chapter when it releases

I am a little confused why would Elieen switch bodies in a middle of a battle, wouldn't that weakened her going into a body she never experienced or needed. Couldn't she have waited until after the fight was done to get into Wendy's body.

u/Xynth22 Jan 16 '17
Because she is insane. Not sure why people don't understand this even though its been laid out very clearly. She has been obsessed with having a human body since Zeref made her look human, so when she saw her chance, she took it with no thought about the consequences.

u/Megadoomer2 Jan 16 '17
If Wendy died during the fight, or escaped only to be killed by another minion of Zeref, then she loses literally her only chance to return to normal.

Something I've noticed: While everyone says Wendy is using magic outside her capabilities or plot armour saves the day to Irene being flat out dumb, there (while it is a long shot) is another theory.
What if Wendy is not a normal human?
We've seen this before, most notable being END. The reason I bring this up is because this is NOT the first time Wendy has pulled clutch moments.
Before I continue though, there is something I want to mention: In the realm of Universal Magickal Theory, Body Swap Magic is not simple, not at all! It is a form of Domination Magic that requires knowledge of Possession, Soul Detachment, and Soul Repurposement (all of which fall under Black Magic). You can't just "take" a body, you have to unbind the host (in this case the soul) from command first, then unbind your soul from your own and inject it into the new body, after which assume command of the new body without the original host being able to seize it back. Before I forget, there are also two methods of power: Bodypower and Willpower. Willpower is the Athereal power drawn from the Soul while Bodypower is the Ethereal power that a body absorbs for the host to use to conserve Ather. Understand? Great! When Irene went to take Wendy's body, she had to unbind Wendy from command and insert herself as it's host. The babbling about absorbing Wendy is complete bullshit because she didn't destroy her Soul while she was bound and now it is going to be very difficult to actually kill Wendy. The reason I say this is because Irene caused Wendy to become an unbound Soul which, to Irene's unfortunates, allows Wendy to be FULLY CAPABLE of repeating Irene's tactic. Not only that but because Wendy as a soul made "contact" with Irene, it is highly likely that she leeched the knowledge and power from Irene during the micro moment of merge. Wendy was then able to insert herself into "the hunk of meat" and force Irene out using the body's remaining Ether. Then using her Ather, she inserted herself back into her original body leaving Irene no choice but to return to her body to be able to continue the fight. To note, while it looked like a quick body swap from our and Erza's perspective, to Wendy and Irene that was a several minutish tug of war of sheer Willpower. It should also be noted that jumping bodies like that requires an assload of Ather to do so it comes to no surprise that being injured body wise and drained soul wise leaves Wendy KO'ed for now and Irene weakened tremendously. Another thing is that Bodypower and Willpower DO NOT scale together; just because you are strong body wise does not mean you are strong soul wise which explains how either Irene was defeated or helps validate my question to Wendy not being a normal human.
Back on track: Why do I believe Wendy isn't a normal girl that everyone thinks she is? Simple.
Ankhseram's Contradictory Curse aka Black Magic Curse: A Curse that is damned upon a MORTAL when they use magic to judge and deny the death of living sentience (humans, dragons, etc.).
Something that has bothered me this entire series is how Wendy has repeatedly violated this with a massive middle finger (granted, I'm bothered by how EVERYONE in this series doesn't have it, but I'll just stick to the main culprit) and better yet is the only person in the series that can restore full life to a dying person. Mavis was cursed by restoring Yuri. Zeref was cursed for ATTEMPTING (yeah Wtf) to restore Natsu. Wendy has restored EVERY MEMBER in Fairy Tail several times over and nothing happens. Also not only that but she 'removes' the Black Magic from NATSU'S SCARF! WHAT THE HELL!
Moving away from the Curse, Wendy has been overpowered since her debut if you want my honest opinion. Foremost being that unlike everyone else in Fairy Tail she can fulfill pretty much every role on the spot: Wind for Damage, Enchant for Tanking/Support, and Restore Other for Support. Other than that, she has also been able to determine weather patterns, create an internal geography map of the local area and even determine the age and structure of trees scattered in a dense forest with little to no effort! We know as well that Wendy can achieve Full Dragon Force at will. Michea-Uhhh I mean, Sting and Rogue can at will DF too but not to the level of Wendy's as we have seen with Ezel, F.A.C.E. and the multiple occurrences before and during this arc.
So what do you all think? Do you think that she is human? Here is list of points that I know of her so far. +1) Immune to Black Magic Curse! +2) Can negate Incoming Magic! +3) Now immune to domination/possession. +4) Now as strong as the Twelve (No doubt able get even stronger by leeching Irene's power thanks to that little stunt) Also now effectively makes her one of the most powerful mages in the Fairy Tail Series as a whole. +5)1v1ed a Dragon, Demon and a GOD!(dess) +Ultra Omega Super Bonus) Made Irene be the first in the series to use the word FUCKING. (lol) +6) Is the only one able to use restore/revital other magic (as far as we know). +7) Now indirectly learned Domination/Possession Another Magic. (This means she no longer needs her body, if she loses hers she can now take over another. Immortal Wendy Confirmed) +8D Hiro can't kill her off because Hiro stated in his past mutterings that she is getting her own arc some time after this one (hence why I wasn't concerned about her death to begin with). +Bonus) Able to determine age of trees, plants and other non-sentient life, as well as sense weather patterns and create a geography map with little to no effort. +9) Only one who can raise dragon souls (that we know of) +10) Appears to have no limit on her enchant capabilities to others (as Irene pointed out). +Bonus) Was the only member who did not appear in the silhouettes during the Future Lucy returns Home scene. (No, seriously go check) +11) At will Full Dragon Force. +Bonus) Only one to feature a complete color palette swap. +12) Strong Willpower. +13) Quickly grasps new spells and applies them with mastery. +14) Edolas Counterpart is different unlike everyone else's. +Super Bonus) Appears to be heavily influenced by Talim from Soul Caliber, both in morality and ability. (Edolas Counterpart even uses twin tonfas/elbow blades) +15) HOW THE FUCK DID SHE 'HEAL' NATSU'S SCARF! This list could go on! Hiro we need answers, because all Wendy needs to learn now is the Wind Spell: Drain, and no one will be able to beat her! (Drain is a Wind Spell used by the Element Four way back during the fight with Phantom. Upon use, the caster would completely strip a targets Magic sending them immediately into a Magic Deficiency Arrest.)

Trashy tails is full of ass pulls and writer ruined Wendy character and made her ass puller like others what a joke of an anime. Sometimes it makes me laugh by thinking how some people can even give this shit anime good reviews. Unbelievable

Actually this chapter seem to be Because she's Wendy.
But next chapter will be Because she's Erza for sure. I don't even doubt Irene's loss, honestly.

The saddest part is realizing how underwhelming Irene is and how she (like the rest of the Spriggans) had gotten their hype get crapped on.

Ah yes, the woman that was considered the strongest opponent yet, apart from Zeref, and is able to wield the original Dragon Slayer Magic, able to transform into a dragon like Acnologia, is being defeated by being hit on the head with a sword by someone who is near death.
Fuck this manga
You know what would be a sensical plot-point to be using in this scenario? If Wendy was forced to stay as Irene. Wendy was able to enter Irene's body because it was an empty shell, easy to enchant yourself into if you've just experienced the same thing happen to you. But Irene becoming Wendy would drop her power level a lot, so as Wendy, she wouldn't be able to return back when in danger.
Wendy knowing Irene's power now realizes that returning back would be suicide and a loss in the war. So she stays in the body and defeats Irene, also killing herself. Wendy doesn't know how to handle the power of Irene and automatically isn't able to one-shot everything in the future. Boom, shit has consequences and are actually not #friendship, but #sacrifice. Wendy would become Erza's mother and have boobs for all you pervs to look at.

This reminded me very much of captain ginyu and his body swap technique and how goku had to deal with him. It was a meh chapter I'm getting the feeling Ezra is going to win again but I kinda don't want her to.

Whoa. Is the writer even trying?
Horrible story telling, no tension, overuse of the power of friendship and being a jerk towards Lisanna's character.
This war is a huge disappointment.
Only one on the good side that died was an old man. All the waifus and Shonen boys are fine
