As the episode ends this week, were treated to the beginning of what I expect is going to be Fairy Tail Zero Part 2.I have to say, I do regret not being able to cover these two episodes week by week like I usually do, because what we got with both of them, was some really fantastic setup for what seems to be the real end game of the entire franchise.
Fairy Tail is heading into its final story, and from the looks of it, were in for a real treat. In essence what these two episodes do, afterall, is setup the big battle between Alvarez and Ishigar (or Fairy Tail to be more specific). At this point, the conflict is more or less a done deal, and with it, well, things have really started to fall into place. ![]() The biggest twist, which we learned in this weeks episode, was that the whole country of Alvarez is actually being ruled and controlled by none other than Zeref himself. He felt like more of a powerful emo entity that was just kind of existed off to the side of everything. The show keeping his activities and his whole founding of an entire empire under wraps is definitely, impressive. Impressive, unexpected, and perhaps a little convenient to the end game as well. Indeed, theres certainly an argument to be made that this whole Zeref having his own country thing is a new, kind of sudden twist, but I think it certainly puts everything else that weve seen from the show into perspective. It makes sense why literally the entire lore of Fairy Tail (the story and the franchise) revolves around this particular character. Hes been all over the place, tinkering with things, people, magic and even societies as a whole. What does kind of baffle me is how the emo, lonely character that we saw for the first time on Tenroujima in the S-Class Mage arc, was able to form an entire country with a loyal bunch of strong followers. Simply put, it doesnt seem like Zeref would have the motivation, or interest to do something like that. Although. I suppose Acnologia was certainly always a problem and a threat, so there was at least that to spur things in this particular direction. On that point, I suppose the show and story still have some details to reveal. Fairy Tail Epde 176 Kissanime Full On VillainWeve seen Zerefs transformation from meek tortured soul to full on villain, but there certainly seems to be more to this particular story. ![]() ![]() For as strong as Natsu and the rest have become, they really own have Makarov and Laxus as potential people that can go toe to toe Zerefs generals12 shields. Sure Natsus gotten stronger, strong enough to take down BlueNote in one attack, but compared to Zeref and the rest of Alvarezs top dogs, hes kind of nothing. Which, again, is an odd choice because while it certainly creates a sense of danger and dread, it also keeps our characters fairly weak, and essentially keeps them static in terms of power levels. While Im glad the show, and Makarov himself, acknowledge how stupid and utterly unnecessary his actions were (especially given the pain they caused), I am still a bit miffed at how he basically gets off scott free here. I mean, if Gajeel and Laxus hadnt shown up when they did, Erza and Natsus big covert rescue operation wouldve failed pretty spectacularly. At the end of it all, I think its time for all the characters to stop dodging around each other and really just play it straight and direct.
