#100yq manga

[raijin-tribe]

Since I’ve already rambled a little bit about the 100YQ today, I also wanted to share this longer rant that’s been sitting in my drafts for a while.

⚠️ 100 Years Quest - Ch. 123 Spoilers ⚠️

One of the biggest annoyances I’ve had with Fairy Tail’s sequel is the mis-characterization of the Raijinshuu. Don’t get me wrong, I hated their fight against Gray, but I mostly expected that… as sad as it is.

Aside from that, it’s this short sequence with Laxus from Ch. 123 that is truly disappointing to me unlike any other.

Like, I’m sorry, but are these really the only reactions we’re gonna get…?

After returning to the guild, Laxus has a moment where he opens up and admits that he took out his own dragon slayer lacrima, and the Raijinshuu just… boast about him? (Aside from Ever, who seems more shocked at his ‘true power’ than the lacrima being removed.)

You’d think they would initially show more shock/concern and ask Laxus questions about what happened and if he's really okay. Let Freed scold him for being reckless, at least. Not just go 'That's our Laxus!!' and move on. I honestly feel like this is something they would all take more seriously.

It's also annoying how we don’t get to see much reaction out of Makarov either. Remember that this is the same lacrima that Ivan wanted to steal after the BoFT, not caring if it would kill his son or not. But everyone seems to keep looking over the fact that Laxus, again, took out the lacrima that he's had since he was a kid! Just ripped it out of his chest— with his bare hands, no less!

I’m just gonna assume Laxus will tell them everything off-panel, but still… I hate when the Raijinshuu are treated like a 'blindly devoted fan club' rather than his best friends, a strong team, or even as individual characters. Even in that bullshit fight against Gray, he calls them ‘Worshippers of Laxus.’ (100YQ Ch. 30) And it’s stuff like that which I feel undermines how close they really are to him.

For the record, I don’t have an issue with the Raijinshuu fawning over Laxus— that’s always been a part of their characters and has led to some great moments between them. I have an issue when it’s the only thing they do.

Compared to other characters, especially those who were a part of the Tenrou team, it feels as though the Raijinshuu are the most forgotten about. They have no backstory, they barely get any new magic or development, and they were left out of the latest Fairy Tail games altogether!

When was the last time they had a good fight that does their magic justice? Hell, when was the last time their eye magic actually worked in their favor?

I never expected them to have much of a role in the 100YQ, and I still don't, but still, it's... really frustrating.

Sorry if this was long, but I’ve wanted to share my thoughts on this for a while.

I try not to post about the 100YQ too much because it’s mostly criticisms and frustrated rants. I want this blog to be a positive place to appreciate the Raijinshuu as characters instead of complaining about how they could be written better, but I also think it’s good to have discussions and express criticism from time to time as well. It’s just not something I’ll be doing too often.

If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading!!! I really do appreciate it!!! 💕

What’d you think about sharing our last name?

There’s still slots for Comms!

[fairytail-incorrectquotes]

Natsu: You’re so clingy. Lucy: Lucy: You got into my bed. Natsu, cuddling her: And you let me? You’re smothering me, Lucy.

So aparently this is my first digital art since 2018...!? I've been trying a lot of different and fun things.

When I was younger, I used to hate romance in fiction (for a variety of reasons). Erza and Jellal, though, were the first love story that managed to touch me and make me cheer for them to be together. Many years have passed since I first read Fairy Tail, and I'm now a lot more open to reading romance, but these two are still my favorite fictional couple ♡

ft 100 yq chap 18 spoilers

nah because I'm going to kms

This was obviously an important moment between Natsu and Lucy and they just made it about everyone else

I know everyone in fairy tail is important to him but this was an obvious reference to dragon cry and Lucy's words

why is J.C.Staff so against NaLu LMAO

Also, the censorship was horrific

anyways

Finally, some decent development.

Let's talk about it.

I like Lucy and all but sometimes it's a bit too much. Like how can you be sad over the death of someone you just met? Ik it's Fairytail and their Nakama power and stuff but this? They barely had 2-3 interactions.

If Kiria sacrificed herself, that would have made more sense. Plus, I like how Natsu motivated Lucy to fight because everyone else was fighting too and she was just standing. I didn't even realise that she wasn't fighting until Natsu said it. And then I realised, ofc Lucy wouldn't wanna hurt a friend.

Also, I really liked the fact that Natsu wants Lucy to fight.

They were the OG team, from the very beginning!! It was just her, Natsu and Happy that started it!! And Natsu wants Lucy by her side, because no matter what happens Lucy has always been by his side. In good and bad, in sickness and in health, in every adventure, in every fight!

She may not fight at all, like in the beginning of the series when she was a scaredy cat or just do a thing or two to contribute.

Or she may put an end to the entire conflict all by herself, but her presence has always mattered.

Her spirit has always mattered.

And that's why this moment is important.

It might be the only decent bit from this chapter and I want this arc to be over already, but I can't help but praise when something good happens, especially regarding Nalu, since DAMN I want them to end up together already!!!

wendy is gonna grow up to be crazy powerful, y'all. she:

was already at a disadvantage because grandeeney never got the opportunity to teach her offensive skills, but she learnt them anyway and became adept in a really short amount of time,

held her own against a god slayer where even natsu had struggled during the tenrou arc (granted, chelia wasn't insane and actively aiming to kill like zancrow was, but the fact that wendy didn't lose that fight is pretty amazing—especially since chelia had self-restoration abilities),

learnt a dragon slayer's secret art at an incredibly young age (even porlyusica was shocked by it),

was probably the first (?) dragon slayer to achieve dragon force at such a young age, and she learnt how to control it at will,

was able to stand on the same level as the other dragon slayers who were far older and experienced as compared to her at the time.

that little girl is going places, trust

Lucy!! Please.... Fight with us!!!!
