(Tomo no Koe ga Kikoeru)
“I can Hear the Voices of My Friends”
As this arc is heading towards its end, the battles are getting more and more intense. If Dragon Slayer can be heard during a battle, you know that its serious business!
Finally, the Legion Corps are on FAIRY TAILs side. Ive been waiting for this moment so long, but still, it makes me a bit sad that Byro changed side because of orders. He didnt follow his heart. But what can be done now that the ending is one episode away? With ending, I mean this arcs ending, not the fillers themselves. I know that this anime will start following the manga with canon episodes soon, but there will probably be some transitional ones first. Nonetheless, next weeks episode is the season finale and if Im not wrong, its also the arc ending.
Oracin Seis are losing their members one by one while FAIRY TAIL keeps getting more now that Romeo is on the battlefield as well. I find it amazing how this show can make its side characters shine so much. Most shounen titles (not all of them) dont allow their side characters to develop or receive any kind of love but FAIRY TAIL is different and I love that. A combination between Romeo and Natsu is one of the best ones weve had in terms of powers. Romeo himself as an offensive character isnt so strong but when he is the enhancer, he performs well. I still think Natsus best combination was when he swallowed some of Laxus powers during the S-class arc, but its always interesting to see new possibilities when there are so many different types of magic in this series.
As everything seems to be very serious business at this point, some battles are very rushed, like Erza against Cobra for an example. I was really excited to see Cobra use his Dragon Slayer magic but him being distracted by Kinanas presence made the battle slightly anti-climatic, however, Erza using her Sea Empress armor made up for that. I dont know why shed go with that armor as it doesnt give her any kind of advantages in this battle. With no benefits from that armor, I can only imagine that she wore that one for the sake of fanservice, but thats okay, I mean, I love her!
I thought Cobra would have a reunion with Kinana today but I was wrong. Hopefully, theyll meet soon. I dont think Cobra is a threat anymore even after meeting his snake because his mark was removed from the Infinity Clock, so he is definitely out of the game. Someone else who is in the same situation is Imitatia and I find that very sad as Ive grown very fond of her despite knowing that she was a villain.
Imitatia to me was a fantastic villain for this arc and I think Yukana did an amazing job voicing her. I really liked how she went from being a clumsy and sweet girl to a cold villain while still loving her beloved Lucy but in a more possessive way. I was hoping that shed be saved so she could go back to being just Michelle. In a way, maybe she did? She was not a doll like Lapointe she was in fact an actual doll, one from Lucys childhood. Watching a young Lucy hug her doll was heartbreaking, but I guess now that Imitatia is free, she can be with Lucy whenever she wants. She was definitely a memorable character and Im sad to see her go. But at least, she can finally return to her original self. This raises some questions though. If Imitatia used to be a doll, then who is Michelle? How is Michelle Lobster related to Imitatia or this doll?
Well simply have to wait to find out the answer. Next week we have Natsu against the only remaining villain Brain II. I hope Natsu will teach the man a lesson for using Imitatia as he did, and then save Lucy from merging with the clock (even though everyone is saying that its too late).
Moete kitazou!

I had a hunch that Michelle/Imitatia was also a doll after I saw Zero return to the scrap ofhair he was created from but Michelle/Imitatia created from Lucy’s doll really didn’t seethat one. PS.I’m the first to post this time.
Now for my second post, I think this filler will end next week at episode 150 and startingfrom 151 will be the introduced to the characters of the grand magic games arc,can’t waitto see our new Dragon Slayers of the third generation and the guilds that will participatein the games such as Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, Quatro Cerebus/Puppy etc(if you also followthe Manga).
I wonder what might be included in the transtional episodes. Maybe someJellal x Erza action on the beach? I hope so and Meredy’s body with all that lace
Oh, that would be nice! :]
I just realized something: is it the first time that Natsu ever fights a girl ?Gray did, Erza and Lucy did, as well as fighting men, but that’s the first time I see Natsu battling a woman.Am I wrong ?
He fought Ultear
I stand corrected then… although, that shouldn’t be considered a real fight, because Ultear leaves moments after to let Kain deal with Natsu.
Well, it’s not like Imitatia vs Natsu was properly finished either.
Hmm, there has been a shorter filler arc in this anime. I think it was around episode 70 – the “Daphne” arc? The villain there was female and she (along with her artificial dragons) fought the entire guild.
He supposedly fights against Erza constantly, or at least used to, but inside guild battles arent that serious (exept laxus’ arc)
Even if Michelle/Imitatia was a villain, I couldn’t help but be moved by the last scene when she was turned back to the doll that Lucy owned in the past. She never was a straight and evil person, she was just misguided, and seeing that end tragically for her was heartwrenching.
I agree and I know that she wasn’t evil but just manipulated.
It was nice that everyone was still fighting/helping/doing their parts after their own battles and conflicts were done. I’ll miss Michelle as well, but I wondered how Natsu was going to win against her. And we’ll get to see Lucy’s dad again next week so hopefully the plot holes should be covered by then.
