Yeah, mentioned it a few posts up. The title of the chapter was Dragon Force, which was highly relevant (And the only reason I remembered the ballpark estimate was 100 was the chapter after Erza 'died', and as she's one of my favorites it was a highly critical point. Lulz were had, tears were shed, and page 25-26 was one of the most goddamn epic two page spreads I'd ever seen up till Whitebeard broke the GAR space continuum not with raw badassery but with raw heartwarming forgiveness).
Edit: Huh, looking back Grandine was the one who met up with Igneel. She even mentions Wendy. How'd I miss that one...
Still not sure from that though if my pet theory is correct just yet... depends if that location was 'real' or not...

... Double page spreads just keep getting more epic. GOD DAMN. The fight choreography, assuming I was seeing things correctly as sometimes it's hard to tell fire from smoke and debris, was damn fine too. Things are coming to a close, and at this point TOTALLY forgiven. Wow. Just wow.

This is probably the last fight in this arc.
Because I have noticed that every fight in an arc except the last one or two, usually only last one chapter.
It makes everything 'faster' but it can be a bit anti-climatic. . .
Good chapter. I like that he wasn't crazy strong like against Gerard, but then again that could be because Zero is that level. . .

I'm fucking bored of this manga now. Its so god damn predictable, and there's little to no development of the plot whatsoever.
Anything that was previously overarching and interconnecting seems to have disappeared, replaced by the now episodic; new bad-guy appears. Greater Dragonslayer Power is unlocked, bad-guy is defeated. REPEAT.

Really? I liked it. :huh:
It did the thing I theorized, though the dragon appearing was WTFy. And given this was a grand total of one arc that covered the concept of Dark guilds that was covered before, tying back to Igneel's chat with Grandine in which Wendy was mentioned, other guilds, and similarly revealing a bit more about what could only be Mistgun and that Anima thing, I wouldn't call it turning episodic. Like at all. Not the best arc in the series, to be sure, given I favor Erza's arc, but I certainly wouldn't call it complete fail.
Similarly, both Dragon Slayer powers used here were shown previously. Granted the Dragon was New, but that's been hinted at for ages.

Dude. There's only one point driving the plot. Find out where the dragons went, why they left, and what it means. And maybe bring them back. That's one mystery. One thing. And when that gets resolved, the manga will be over.
Exactly how much progress are you expecting? Each arc thus far has involved a bit more of the puzzle falling into place. Thus, I have no real problems with it. It's not like we're having arcs that serve absolutely no point whatsoever.

I feel the same way, somewhat; but it prevents the series from being bogged down one major fights.
And I think that its being done that way for the anime animators, that why they can embellish the fights and the arcs to give them a more proper length. Ultimately preventing them from gaining on the manga.

Fairy Tail has always had short fight scenes. I mean hell, a majority of them are usually over in the course of a little over a single chapter (of actual fighting of course), when the standard is usually in the ballpark of three, give or take certain circumstances. Not sure I'd trust the anime to extend them either, as they seem to be rushing a bit, which is rather bothersome.
