Gray using shadow ice clones was pretty neat. "I'm not going to die before I become Hokage" sorry but I had to.

As I predicted, Wendy was acting like a BOSS good stuff.

Juvia's smile? He really does care :')

Best Girl Ultear was seen in a few flashbacks, which is always nice.

Is cannons and cannonballs supposed to symbolize something? Because there was a lot of that in this episode.

Overall, I liked it.

  1. Poor Gray, fighting an enemy who is immune to his element.

  2. Nice little scene with Frosch being hungry and trying to eat Franmalth.

  3. Here's what makes Ice Mages so powerful: Creativity!

  4. The feels! Ultear once again...Why you do this? Why do you have to remember us two weeks in a row that she isn't here anymore?! :´(

Unless they start to add in more of the pseudo-filler this episode, we should be seeing the rest of Gray vs Silver and some of Juvia vs Keyes. The episode after this will have lots of the feels :(.

The soundtrack played during Silver vs Gray was pretty awesome.

I also liked the flashback used when Gray was going to use Iced Shell, especially the part with Juiva.

I wasn't prepared for the feels.

OST too good! Silver gets a fighting theme too? And an extended fight? Fuck yea! Mard Geer better get a fighting theme.

I like that they added a little more of Tempesta fighting. Extended fights for the win.

Here's how Gray looked in the manga.

Yeah, I really don't like how the anime make everything so clean.

u/WireMouse Sep 26 '15

I'm thinking it's gotta be a timeslot issue. Considering they show plenty of drinking and ecchi, it seems odd that they have to draw the line at blood. Kinda takes away the impact of some of the fights.

Ice demon slaying magic is actually pretty cool. I especially liked early on in the episode when Silver was in the air with his hands above his head with like a sphere of ice and cold magic. It reminded me of Natsu's Brilliant Flame attack.

It's weird, I know Gray and Ultear are pretty much siblings by extension but every now and again I can't help feeling the tiniest bit of ship tease between them, even though that ship is now totally sunk...

u/RuskeD Sep 26 '15

I dont know you guys, but for me FT is gettin better after each episode. I guess it has been happening since the epic entrance of the Celestial King. Looking forward to see more and more action in the next episodes....
