She looks effortlessly cute, beautiful, and sexy.

I didn’t expect MotherGlare to get knocked out this quickly. When she was first introduced, she seemed really strong and felt like she was going to be one of the biggest highlights. I still don’t feel completely satisfied with Erza fight because it felt way too short, but I’m glad she won. However, I’m not sure if this is really the end because it felt way too quick to me. Still, I don’t think there’ll be much more to it. The story will probably move on to another character’s fight next. That’s just how I personally feel, though.

Finally my goat gets a 1v1 win after a while and in stellar fashion 🙌

couldnt find chapter 3, sorry

If you guys could see or use any kind of maker magic what would it be.

This disappointing defeat is soooo surprising. Maybe Motherglare shouldn’t have transformed into her human form and made herself weaker 🤷‍♂️

Wendy said she couldn't feel any magic power from Motherglare, which indicated that she had some special abilities. I was really looking forward to seeing Motherglare's special magic, but I was disappointed that all she did was summon her little brood and use Dragon Breath, kicks, and punches. If she were going to show the same abilities she did in the Eclipse arc, she should have fought in her Dragon Form instead. However, she was just kicked out by Erza to give Erza a moment to shine. That's surely disappointing.

I was working on a post about this last week and while I did make a post addressing this, it came out differently than I intended. But this week, I'm going to be blunt. I loved Chapter 218 and 219 of 100 Years Quest. I love the story direction, the fighting, thevErza-Irene stuff. But what the Heck is going on with that Elfman error!?

I don't wanna come down too hard on anyone. But this is wild. It's the kind of stuff you say with AI or when separate individuals animate an episode of a show without coordinating with each other. But it's not either of those. As I mentioned in this post, Elfman being with Makarov's group is definitely an error; it wouldn't make any narrative sense, and yet, this is the second Chapter in a row to feature it.

This starts with Mashima; he's the one who draws the NAME/draft of the Chapters. He does have a lot on his plate so it's understandable he'd forget, especially since Elfman is often with the others when he shows up in 100 Years Quest. But that doesn't mean he's beyond constructive criticism. But the thing is, it isn't just him. This happening twice means his editors are seeing and okaying it, Ueda is drawing it in the final Chapter, and Ueda's editors (because I do believe he has his own crew) are okaying that, and then Kodansha is publishing it. All these filters and this glaring error that literally contradicts the main story just slides on by. Now again, these people work hard and have a lot on their plate, these errors aren't unheard of or uncommon, I get it. But I can acknowledge that and still give constructive criticism. Either this is an error that somehow is getting by every filter or somehow this is a plot point and Elfman's supposed to be there and if so that's still an error because it makes zero sense plot and character wise.

Now, this isn't the only issue recently. As I mentioned in this post, the writing around Ignia's plan has become confusingly contradictory to a point where he wants to destroy something and I don't even know what because he's getting what he wants and his attack would destroy that. I've enjoyed the recent Manga Chapters. But there's obvious errors, some pretty big, just sliding by. Hopefully the Elfman stuff will be fixed in the Tankoban Volume. But with all of these filters, I hope this Elfman thing doesn't continue and that the story isn't muddled by it.

The 100-Year Quest has major flaws, but I like it. It has good ideas that are poorly executed, and I think that for me, the 100-Year Quest is a flaw in itself. I get the impression that Mashima struggles with arcs that are too long! (I've already said that.) I have a somewhat radical question: when the 100-Year Quest is over, and probably soon, will Fairy Tail return, perhaps with a new manga author, a new movie, or an anime? Or does Fairy Tail have to die? Personally, you can always create beautiful things if you have the passion and it's well done! We'll see what the future holds!
