Fairy Tail - Episode 42

Fairy Tail Battle Royale

In the last week's episode of Fairy Tail the Natsu team successfully came back to Fairy Tail's guild safe and sound after they defeated Jellal. Juvia and Gajeel officially joined the Fairy Tail guild .... Start of Laxus arc. In this week's episode I have learned that Natsu's scarf is from Igneel. I wonder how did Igneel 'A Dragon' gave scarf to Natsu? did he purchase it or something? lol. And plus Laxus already defeated Natsu last year when Natsu challenge him, of course, as expected from Natsu err.

It's Magnolia's Harvest Festival and everyone is preparing for the feast ... Fairy Tail guild will be joining the festival by making some show, a beauty contest rather. I personally like there show even though it has swimsuit shots that is not a bit gross unlike Highschool of the Dead fan-service that goes beyond the line of giving fan-service. Erza Scarlet was so cute in her Goth-Loli outfit. It's <3. While on the middle of the said beauty contest, Lucy's talent portion to be exact, the Raijin Tribe show's up. Evergreen, Freed & Bickslow the members of Raijin Tribe, the personal bodyguard of Laxus has finally came back to Fairy Tail guild to take over Makarov's place as the leader of the guild. Evergreen power is to petrify those who look on her eyes. Gray tried to warn Lucy over the stage but it was too late she already turned onto a stone figure. Not just Lucy but the whole participants as well was turned onto stone figures. Makarove-sensei was so furious and asked Evergreen to turn them back to normal but she refused .... Laxus shows-up and told his grandfather, Makarove to have some battle royale to know who's the strongest in the Fairy Tail guild. The arena will be the whole Magnolia continent, they have 3 hours to find the Raijin Tribe and Laxus across Magnolia if they didn't finish them-off the stone figure's ladies will be turn into dust. Everyone in the guild was in amok, they rush outside to kill Laxus and his Raijin Tribe.

Makarov & Natsu couldn't go outside because of Freeds rune-magic. His magic is to bound something/ someone inside some establishment, Establishment Magic rather. It has this weird words of course we can't understand it. Reedus was so afraid to Laxus that he didn't want chase him, her rather stay in the guild and now accompanying the two. Makarov ask Reedus to go Porlyusica place she might have some remedy to cure the girls that turned into stones.

Who would have thought?

Overall, I think the phasing was bit too fast ... Erza's arc just finished and now another problem shows up may be that's just how the creator do his job. Err, now I remember Rave. Same problem again, bad animation. It's shitty but the whole episode is good.

Preview: I guess they got cured :D Lucy in Maid-outfit!!! Must watch!
PS: Lucy ... her voice .... it's turning me on /w/
