Fairy Tail: The Xtreme Review (Part 2: Seasons 3 & 4)
Ever wondered what happens when a world runs low on magic? Journey with us as we uncover the secrets of Edolas and Tenrou Island with anime theorist Mira Jane. From Happy's heartwarming reunion with his parents to the dramatic entrance of S-Class mage Gildarts demanding Magnolia's landscape to shift, we promise you'll see Fairy Tail in a whole new light. With the intriguing introduction of the Grand Magic Games arc, expect an episode packed with thrilling revelations and character growth, including Lucy's struggles and Wendy's first mission out in the field.
Prepare for an epic showdown between Erza Scarlet and Erza Nightwalker, where philosophies of love and friendship clash with solitary strength. We humorously critique characters from other anime, like Sakura from Naruto, while dissecting complex storylines such as Lissana's return and its ripple effect on Natsu's relationships. As we navigate through Tenrou Island's relentless battles and guild betrayals, we explore the dragon slayer hierarchy and appreciate pivotal moments like Gajeel finally finding his cat and Makarov's intense duel with Hades.
In a lighthearted twist, we ponder cultural themes reflected in anime, from Japan's cuddle cafes to the notorious time skips in major franchises. We discuss the brewing tension between Meridy and Juvia, the unpredictable clash with Zeref, and the emotional tapestry woven through the Fairy Tail universe. As we wrap up, we liken the intricate storytelling to a perfectly crafted Subway sandwich, setting the stage for our upcoming dive into the aftermath of the seven-year time skip and the adrenaline-pumping Magic Games arc. Join us for an episode brimming with excitement, humor, and insightful discussions on the magic that makes Fairy Tail an enduring favorite.

all right, we are continuing the fairy tale extreme review with seasons three and four, the edilis arc and the tenro island arc. Joining me is mirror jane, the anime theorist, and without further ado, let's go ahead and zone in the edilis arc.
Speaker 1:I was digging the Edelus arc because you know the main characters well, the main group. You know Nasu, lucy, erza, gajio Braid. No, they get sucked into Edelus and turns out that in Edilis they have this thing where they want to. You know excuse me, mary Jane, I'm trying to describe it to where, so let me get it straight. So with Earthland, that's where people can use magic freely and all that. But in Edilis it was more like you can use magical items. But I think that Edilis was kind of like in a drought when it comes to magic. So they had no choice but use magical items. But the King Faust wants to. He's like this tyrant. The King Faust wants to. He's like this tyrant and he wants to heal the magic from Earthland to Edelis, like I'm trying to remember to the best of my ability and I remember him fighting in this dragon gundam and shit and these Edelis counterparts and what not. It was really cool and all. But what did you thought of the edilis art?
Speaker 2:overall, it is one of my favorite arcs. I really love that. We finally get to learn where, like uh, egg seeds come from and, like um, we learn about a couple of our favorite characters like Miss Dogon, and we get to find out so much about Happy. I think Happy's finding Happy's parents which we'll talk more about in a little bit but I think that was my favorite part. I just want to mention that because it made me so happy and it kind of made me cry a little bit. Um, to see happy like not know, like that those are his parents and his dad's, just like, yeah, get that bum out of here, you know oh, that's funny too, because um the xc queen uh, I forgot her name already.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, but um turns out that she's carla's mother, but carla doesn't know that yeah, and you know I'll be honest with you, carla is probably like my least favorite I mean she does come off bitchy and all that shit, but the whole thing was because she had precognition, like her mother.
Speaker 1:She was the only one that was like deviated from the plan that her mother had for the XCs where, oh, we were supposed to kill all the dragon slayers but no, no, no, that wasn't the real plan. But Carla was like like wait, hold on, I saw things kind of differently. It was kind of that deal.
Speaker 2:but you know, they explained by the end of the arc they, they definitely do um one thing, uh, before we kind of before we delve further into Eldalus and getting into the world of it, the beginning of the season we get to see Gildards.
Speaker 1:Right. Okay, let me talk about Gildards just a moment. When I was introduced to this dude okay, this S-class mage, and he's cool looking by design, of course, but the fact that this dude um, the fact that whenever he comes back home to Magnolia, everybody's like Gilders is coming back home, I was like, okay, we gotta prepare. We gotta prepare like fucking Evangelion, to where they have to, like um, pretty much change the whole landscape just to accommodate his return. Because this dude with his explosion magic, like he literally just um blows up anything you come in contact with. So if he even like um make contact with a wall, it just automatically explodes.
Speaker 2:I'm like, well, fuck, dude like yo so, like you know, when Mistogon gets first introduced or not Mistogon, sorry, when uh um Gildar's first gets introduced, right, he's coming back from a sentry quest that he completed in three years yeah, see, that's the thing about these s class uh mages from fairy tales like they be doing these amazing feats that, uh, you would think would be impossible for the average mage.
Speaker 1:But nah, some of the mages and fairy tales built different like I still remember it was during the. I know it's gonna be later on in the stream review with the uh magic games where erica had to clear that hundred floor challenge and she cleared it so easily.
Speaker 2:I'm like fuck dude I'm trying not to like talk about that, because that's literally, literally my favorite episode seeing that happen. And then the episode right after that hands down two favorite episodes in the whole anime. I re-watch them when I want to like feel myself. It hyped me up. I'll be like girl power, yes, power, yes, I'm not going to fuck you.
Speaker 1:We're going to have our fill on it. Oh, by the way, happy birthday to Irza Scarlett. Her birthday, canonically, is April 7th.
Speaker 2:It is her birthday today. Happy birthday, Irza.
Speaker 1:Now let's go ahead and dive back into Edilis. So essentially it starts out with Lucy Catching a cold after this mission in the mountains with Natsu and their friend, so she's Unable to go to the annual for her Watching. But Natsu Can't have fun without Lucy being up there, so he and Happy Decide to uproot this cherry tree to all. Lucy can see it without Lucy being up to episode. He and Happy decide to uproot this cherry tree. Lucy can't see it. Wendy's get her first job, chosen by Mira. Jane Goes out to this theater troupe once hired by Natsu and the gang. However, this argument with Carla that she's gone to on a bus alone under Makara's guidance, happy and free, joins Her and Lucy. Then later Natsu, who doesn't really know what's really going on, learned that the train took on him. I rushed to help Wendy and all. Wendy's first big job instead is moving her friends out of the way. So it was kind of weird.
Speaker 1:You know there's going to be like some filler episodes with Barry Tell, but that's where we're getting there. So there's the 24-hour endurance road race where everybody's just racing, uh, to get to the wiring skills from top of mount iambor to return and start line. Uh, no one's allowed to drop out and flying match is not permitted, though that doesn't stamp in happy determination to win. Uh, then there's the guild arts. So gildas probably comes back after that three years of the hundred year quest and had some news for not to concern igneel, because you know not to still looking for igneel. And then of course we have, uh, wendy finally meeting mr gunn, whom she had known as to lol in her childhood and it and now, keep in mind, remember the battle for fairy tale when Laxus decided you know what I don't like the way fairy tale is operating, so me and my gang is going to uproot y'all weaklings and make fairy tale really strong. And that was the fight when Mr Gunn was fighting Laxus for like a hot second and then Laxus kind of clawed his hood and I was like, oh no, my face, I got to get out of here. But yeah, when he finally meets Mr Gone, and despite his best effort, he revealed that he's unable to stop the anima, this magical that destroys all of Metanoia, magical, uh, that destroys all of magnolia. Uh, as wendy worn fairytale of this impending demise, a vortex appears from the sky and the city is sucked into it, leaving only indy not sue, happy and carla behind. Now, after the disappearance of magnolia and fair tale, carla reveals that everything has been taken into an alternate world, edilis, where she and happy originally came from, because, not soon when they are dragon slayers, they were immune to anima and were regarded as threat to edilis. Thus carla and happy were sent to destroy them, determined to rescue their friends, not to windy and happy, follow car, follow Carlos Lee to release it to Edelust, where they discover that the Edelust version of Fairytale.
Speaker 1:Now let me stop right there. It gets so weird with all these Edelust counterparts, like, first of all, uh, lucy Ashley. I kind of like her drip, but her attitude was kind of like, I don't know. Her attitude was kind of like I don't know. It's almost like she's almost like the bad girl version of Lucy. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I was definitely indifferent towards this, lucy. I don't know if you listen to, like the I don't know if you listen to it in English, but English version of Lucy. Well, of badass Lucy, that's what I'm gonna refer to her as.
Speaker 1:I was thinking Ashley, you know what? That's funny, because every time I think of Ashley, I think of all that fucking. The baby song with Stunna for Vegas listening to her.
Speaker 2:The human, not human. The English voice actor voice. They're all human. What am I talking about, anyway? The English version voice actor made. I'm not gonna lie to you, lucy sounds like a little mobster in. English, I was a little like scared and a little intimidated. So I will say the English version made it a lot more intimidating. But there's also something kind of just off-putting about seeing lucy have tattoos. It just doesn't seem to like fit her role, you know it's almost like you know, with lucy harfieldia.
Speaker 1:She's like a cutie, like that's just a way of saying it, because you know, like aw, she has these cute clothes and this cutesy attitude and all that shit, but like she can be, you know, she gets angry and whatnot, but like, for the most part she's just a cute girl. With Lucy, ashley is like she's more of a baddie, if that's the right way to put it. Uh, to where you know she comes off as the bad girl type and like you know, wearing black and like kind of edgy and shit, um, I don't know, like I don't know, Uh, what else. Oh, okay, let's talk about the Edilis Juvia. To where Edilis Juvia and Grey is kind of opposite, to where, uh, edilis Grey, he's putting on all these different layers of clothes and he's the one that's have a crush on Juv.
Speaker 2:But juvia was like, yeah, whatever, but um, that in him, like at all in this clothes, gray, I honestly I could not. I could not deal with it. I was like this man needs to take his clothes off and I know I'm like whoa, let me, let me, uh, let me back that down.
Speaker 2:Is, you know, gray earthland? Gray is typically shirtless, you know, but edelis gray is like nah man, I need all the clothes. Like what? No, I could not. I could not take it. It felt so off and, honestly though, I did kind of like seeing the reverse on what it would be like if gray was obsessed with julia.
Speaker 1:I did like that little reversal they did I mean, hold on when you think about to be fair. It's not fair to wear julia where the way she's dressing on the Edelweiss bird is like she's dressed like a little skimpy flight attendant.
Speaker 2:You know it's not exactly schoolgirl, but it's. Yeah, flight attendant is a good one. What do you think about it like that? Excuse me, had to take a drink. Yeah, who else think about?
Speaker 1:it like that Hmm, excuse me, had to take a drink. Uh yeah, who else? Some other ones, but oh, the main one, the main one who isn't even in the guild, urza Nightwalker, turns out she's against Fairytale and wants to kill them all. And I'm like, fuck, just imagine like, uh, urza scarlet, like she's like the main girl in fairy tale. So, like you know, fairy tale it's not fairy tale's not push over guild because you have mages like urza on your team. But the fact that you have to go up against an urza in an alternate universe, I'm like I hate to be on um, her shit list uh, oh, oh, that was.
Speaker 2:I can't wait to talk about the fights. I can't wait to talk about that. That fight was so good, but to see it switched up in this way and to see, um, this kind of darkened version right of Urza and this attitude of I don't care about, it's kind of like she doesn't really care about human life. In some ways she has a disregard for it, because in a scene just tosses Lucy out of the window just straight, does not care and just drops Lucy out of like a hundred foot window actually.
Speaker 1:No, let's go ahead and talk about that. Where with Urza Nightwalker versus Urza Scarlet, where I like how the way Urza Scarlet beat Urza Nightwalker was try to use the power of love and friendship. You know, like, ok, it's cheesy, know, but it was kind of interesting to see the parallel to where here's an urza scarlet where she believes in love and friendship and whatnot, even though she kind of comes off as the uh strong, adamant type. But you know, she's still a girl at the end of the day, like, like I said in the last part, to where I'm like urza scarlet, she may be that bitch, but she's still a girl at the end of the day.
Speaker 2:Oh, she's still very, um, in tune with her, uh, feminine emotions and in tune with her feminine side. And this to see her not be in tune, to see the opposite, to see nightwalker not really be in tune with that, right, I think I think that that's what made this fight even better, because, like when it first starts out, it's kathy trying to distract the guards, right like urza, and everyone is together and they're trying to handle this together and network has been doing this by herself, like she's just she's like I'm the, I'm going to take down everyone and I don't need no help. Right, I can take on all of y'all.
Speaker 1:And of course, she was going as far as like. Okay, since they're going, in case they keep confusing me with Urza Scarlet, I'm just going to cut my hair. Like you know, I'll pull the Sakura move, but at least this one was more effective than what Sakura did. Like you, I know this is not the Nerds of History review, but I'm just saying you're a ninja, you had a kunai, you could've stabbed a bitch in three different parts of her leg, but nah, you chose to cut your fucking hair.
Speaker 2:I think we agree that um Sakura's just useless. Do we have to talk about it.
Speaker 1:I mean, we kind of have to talk about it on the record for the Naruto Stream View, but we're not going to stop talking about it until we finally put it to rest in the Naruto Stream View. But what I'm just saying is just like come on, dog, come on. You could've just See the fact that she was supposed to be set up to be good at Genjutsu and you don't even have that anymore. You could've been useful in that sense. The one, okay, the Genjutsu master on Team 7. Boom, you have agency now, but fuck all that, I guess. I mean, yeah, she's strong, but, like you know, she could have more going on. But Back to Ah, fuck.
Speaker 2:We just wrapped up, wrapping up the fight.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, we just pretty much wrapped up on that and, you know, urza Nightwalker learned a lesson like oh well, you know, I never saw it that way, and that sort of shit. Uh, yeah, fairytale, well, edilis, fairytale, uh fought against the Kingdom and it was Urza Nightwalker and three other people. You know how it is Every time they go up against anybody, they have these generals, these lieutenants, these main team per se. I don't remember who the best of them were. In case I don't, I want to talk about how Lissana is alive. Yes, he apparently went on. This is Earthland Lissana. I know it's about to get confusing, but when Earthland Elfman and Mirror Jane assumed that Earthland Lissana died, she actually got switched out with the Lissana that was in Edilis who actually died, and Earthland Lissana took their place and Earthland Lissana was like. You know, I really hate them for them to know the truth. So I'm just gonna play along for two years, but you know how, once we get to the ending, like they knew the whole time, um, yeah, did you cry?
Speaker 2:was that was? Did I cry?
Speaker 1:no, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2:No, like I didn't cry, but I'm like I felt that though I'm like especially the moment when lisana recognized happy and not to, and she had to like literally put her hand over her mouth. I thought that that was such like a telemote, because she's excited and then she's nervous, like should I say anything? Because this is really gonna break this, this bond that I've created as their lisana, right, and. But she's also happy because that means like, not like I, I see my family, I'm seeing people that I miss and I love and I care about. And I know and I'll be honest with you, can I be a little honest you didn't want Lysana to come back. I did not.
Speaker 2:I thought it was good, but why, Okay, because I, like we all know the backstory right. Lissana and Natsu Were kind of Developing a relationship. They were gonna be A couple.
Speaker 1:Oh, so you just wanna make sure Nothing gets in the way Of the Nalu Shit. Okay, I see how it is.
Speaker 2:You know how it is. Listen, I'm definitely.
Speaker 1:I mean mean she gotta have competition, Like what kind of romance thing is it if there's no competition?
Speaker 2:If she had enough competition.
Speaker 1:Nah, not For, not to, for, not to. I would understand if you said great, I'm like okay, okay, if it was great, there's competition.
Speaker 2:There was some competition for gray, but I mean you know Natsu's a lovable idiot and I mean somebody else was out there, I'm pretty sure. You know we just didn't get to meet them. You know they, just we, just you know we just didn't get to meet them. You know they, they just we, just you know they in america, they're on the other continent and they didn't get to come over to the fight.
Speaker 1:so but it's somebody I guarantee you I feel like for the most part with girls, it's like I mean, he's not a bad guy, but I feel like he's gonna get on my nerves I mean how much he eats.
Speaker 2:That junk will get on my nerves I I can't even lie to you how much natsu can consume. I it's on tier with goku and that is terrifying yeah, see, it's more like okay.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, but if I'm gonna apply whole math or logic into this, it's more like Natsu and Goku is in the mistake zone. You know, it sounded like a good idea at first, but I'm like, oh fuck, well, I don't know what happened. I'm like I thought I thought it was solid at first oh my god. I thought it was all in a pro. Oh my god, I thought, you know, I can fix him, I can save him from himself, but no, he can't.
Speaker 2:Honestly, I feel like you know the person who that applies to the most In fairy tale, that's definitely Gray. Gray is the one who, like he needs to be fixed, because gray's character is a very interesting character, in my opinion, in the fact that, like he keeps trying to kill himself. Okay, like this constant thing for him, like I'm just gonna use my most powerful thing and just freeze everything and lose my life, like what? No, no, gray, no, you can't keep. And then here comes jubia, I'm gonna save him.
Speaker 1:You know, you know what we just made home ass apply to fairy tales, oh god no see, that's a weird part is where, uh, with jubia though, gray was like the first dude to like treat jubia like a woman. So it was more like what are these feelings that I'm feeling? It's almost like I don't know how deep you are in all one piece. But uh, it's like when boa handcuff first meet luffy and she's just saying that, oh, you're just like all those other men, and then Luffy is like nah, I'm just different. I was like what are these heels appealing?
Speaker 2:right like you know what? That's a good, that's a very good example. That's a really good example because Boa Hancock definitely even like later on in the arcs, when luffy gets ready to meet back up with his crew and like, yeah, boa was like I have to protect my luffy, here's a disguise and she's like and her mom's like he's not proposing to you. That's not what this is closing to you.
Speaker 1:That's not what this is nah Luffy's on his Sigma Grunt set. He's too busy looking for the one piece I'm gonna be. Nah, I gotta be king of the pirates first and I'm gonna think about Scylla down later.
Speaker 2:I don't even think he's gonna think. I think it's just gonna end up being there together, but Luffy's just like it's gonna. I feel like it's gonna be a Chi-C goku thing. That's exactly how I feel about it. But uh, you know, since either that.
Speaker 1:Either that or it's gonna be more like um, I'm imagining you go, okay, it could be a goku ch, I think. What hold on? I want to say more like a naruto hinata type thing, to where, yeah, hinata still uh, kind of slapping across the head whenever he's doing something stupid, but it's not to a point to where, like, oh, I sometimes can't stand you at. You know that kind of energy, oh no, it's more like Nerf it, nerf it down to Naruto Hinata, where it's like at least Boa is going to be more patient with me.
Speaker 2:I can agree to that. I do think I think I'm looking at the strength that Chi-Chi definitely displays in Dragon Ball. You know, I feel like that definitely gives me Boa energy. But the patience of Hinata, I can give you that that's a good To like. Mix those two, it feels like boa. I like that.
Speaker 1:It'll be more like yeah, it will definitely Play onto the whole endearing Idiot type thing to where oh, oh, no, Boopy, it was definitely playing onto the whole endearing idiot type thing to where oh well, you know, Goofy, yeah at first, but you know he treat me so fine.
Speaker 2:But I love how, like these relationships in fairy tale, which we'll get to another relationship that starts happening a little bit later, but, um, it brings you back to all of the other anime relationships and you can just kind of connect the dots and see how everyone's sitting. I freaking love that. But um, since we brought up lisana and her reveal, which I really loved, the reveal that I was least expecting, and honestly the counterpart was Faust being basically the Magrov, like I did not, I was not expecting and then not only that to be Mistogon's father yeah, you know what be Mistogon's father.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh, you know what Does this make Mistogon a Disney prince? Oh, my god.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, it does Holy snap. What have you done to my brain?
Speaker 1:because you know the way this, you know how fairytale plays, you know power of love and friendship and all that shit and the way they even did it to where. Oh well, I need to um, like panther louis. Panther louis was ready to set himself up to be the bad guy. Um, just so mysticon can like be the hero of edelus, but, um, you know, natty kind of overheard and related to the dragons players and they were like all right, so check this out. So we're gonna make sure none of them do that. So we'll be the bad guy and we'll make mysticon look like the hero and all that shit. So so he can rule the kingdom, banish his father, make those four generals like alright, so y'all gonna repent for all that shit y'all did by helping us rebuild the kingdom.
Speaker 1:Because look at all this shit y'all did, look at what my father, all this, mess they up. Clean this shit up. You know that type of shit, but for the most part you know like Clean, finish. Like Mitsukon unfortunately has to leave the fairytale guild To lead Ellis, but you know, natsu did the cool Thing to where like three things you gotta do when a fairytale member leaves and all that shit. And now I'm like, okay, cool, cool, cool. So it's like it kind of played off a little love and friendship Right there.
Speaker 2:So I'm like, yeah, now that I think about it, mr gunn said disney prince I think I'm gonna cry a little bit now because I did not think of it that way and like. And then, honestly, this is the type of friends fairy tale. This arc shows you the type of friends you need in life, because Natsu was willing to play a demon, lord, demon lord, drag, nail right to save and to present him and to present Mistogon as this ultimate leader and ultimate savior, right, and it just becomes such a beautiful moment and I honestly don't think, I don't think another anime represents friendship as well as fairytale. I just I can't think of another one right now. But I do think this arc shows you exactly what a friendship looks like, even across long distance, because now mr gone's no longer gonna be there, but it's okay to say goodbye to your friend because they're going on a different journey in a different arc of their life to be fair.
Speaker 1:Like nothing gets missed, a gun like solid dude. But let's be real, he never belonged in earthland, to begin with he didn't.
Speaker 2:He didn't, but he was. He ended up loving the people that he was around yeah, and that's the main thing.
Speaker 1:it it's like, ooh, you know what? It reminds you of Reiner from Attack on Titan, to where he's not from parodies, but he fell in love with the quote-unquote devils of parodies and I'm like, damn, I'm going to miss y'all though.
Speaker 2:Right Like because is there? Could it be said that Mr Gone would have been okay going back? Like why he accepted the fact that he'd have to be the villain? That's his initial thought. Right Like I've already established a family elsewhere.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And it's not like my father was the father of the year.
Speaker 1:But you know, I got some responsibilities that I had to take care of.
Speaker 2:Well, whatever, but now and that's the thing about real life friendship like friends have to go off and take care of their responsibilities. Sometimes and this was a really good demonstration of you know, my friend just has to go and take care of their shit and maybe one day I'll get to see them again, but it just won't be for a long time. Right right, yeah, it was beautiful. This arc was really beautiful. When I think about it now, like yeah, that's.
Speaker 1:That's what I like about this, because it wasn't even a matter of what if like oh uh, fairy tale in the alternate universe, whatnot, but like the parallels and how it played out, whatnot. It was a solid arc it was.
Speaker 2:It was a really really good arc. The um, I will say the battles in this did one criticism the battles in this felt really convoluted at times. There was a lot going on um, it kind of felt not rushed but just all over the place, if that makes any sense. Um, but I did love all the fight scenes and all the battle scenes. Um, I think my favorite. Uh, hold on, let me let me narrow this down a little bit.
Speaker 2:I think my favorite one, definitely. I want to say, uh, urza scarlet and Urza Nightwalker. I want to say that I really do, but there was just something about Grey versus Sugar Boy.
Speaker 1:Okay, hold on. That's what I was going to say. I keep forgetting these guys, but I remember Sugar Boy. Go ahead. I keep forgetting these guys, but I remember Sugar Boy.
Speaker 2:But go ahead. Like his character reminds me of what reminds me of an exaggerated JoJo character and I loved every second of his presence Like, and it just, and this fight just felt so theatrical, like with sugar boy melting gray's eyes, like it just felt, it just felt over the top, but then, um, it just, but then, at the same time, like, once the fight ends up concluding, uh, sugar boy just ends up, of course, losing it, losing, um, and with grave, of course, being the winter, uh, winter, look at that snow winter but of course, being the winner.
Speaker 2:Um, so I guess it was just a really cute fight. I guess that's why I really liked it. It felt like a break from all of the extreme hype that was happening, like with uh, urza's fight felt really intense and really extreme. So then, uh, seeing this fight just felt kind of funny.
Speaker 1:It was, it was good right, uh, it was that, uh, it was sugar boy, uh, hughes, and I was looking at hughes. I'm like you know what he looking like? Oh, buddy, from that new anime, windbreaker, except like not as good. Like I mean, I'm going to check out Windbreaker later and it seems fun. Like you know, if you like Tenjo Tenge or Tokyo Revengers, you probably want to like this one a little bit better. Because at least with this one, like okay, it looks good first of all, and at least the main character actually know how to fucking fight, like not to say nothing, gets the other two uh main character from the other shows I'm saying like at least in this one this dude can actually hold his own versus, uh, the main character and the other two gets humbled like every now and then. So I'm like, oh lord, okay, but yeah, uh, it was huge, it was sugar boy and I think one other other than on urza nightwalker. But that's just the thing. Like sometimes these captains or the you know the what, was it Biro Biro.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, okay, Okay, alright. Yeah, I say, ella's Dark was a solid article.
Speaker 2:It was. It was really solid. I think the honorable mention lucy basically performing a sexy jutsu let's be honest, that's the kid during that fight. Okay, she performed a sexy jutsu and pulled out a bikini out of nowhere and a miniskirt and I was like, really, really, you gotta seduce hugh Hughes. That's what we're gonna do, but I think that's an honorable mention. During that fight, I thought Lucy I will say Lucy definitely was holding her own in a lot of fights. This time she definitely was using her celestial spirits a lot more and that was really great because, you know, we always love to see them come out.
Speaker 1:Now, of course, the end of season three kind of goes into the Teneral Island arc, starting with what? Was it 96? Well, no, not 96. It's like the last handful of episodes where they travel to Sirius Island and it's either Sirius or Tenra Island. I don't know, I'm keeping them.
Speaker 2:It's Tenra Island.
Speaker 1:Okay, you can just call it Tenra Island Arc okay, uh, but since we they're trying to do the s-class promotion exam uh, there's a mirror. Jane gildars, they're gonna be like examiners because they're already s-class uh, everybody's gonna. Well, whoever is selected it was not suitatsu Gray, juvia Elfman, kana Breed Levy and Misty Gun's disciple Mest uh got selected and the funny thing is like who the fuck is Mest Like? And that's another thing. Like, uh, even after like all this, I'm like thinking like I don't even remember this guy. That's like the real funny thing. Like I don't remember this guy being in the guild, and there's a whole thing that we're gonna get to later.
Speaker 1:But, um, that was just something I wanted to throw out. So these people were selected to participate in the promotion exam and you know they had to do their things, but of course that is Not who we say it is, and they have to end up going up against Grummore Hart and Zero shows up, and now they roll into the Tenro Island arc. Now, what are your thoughts on the Tenro Island arc as a whole so far? Mirajay?
Speaker 2:So, as a whole, I thought it was how can I say this? I thought it was a good way. You know how there's always a tournament arc and while we did get a tournament arc later on, while we do get an amazing one, I thought this was a great alternative. You know, like this is a promotion. This is we need to see what you guys are, what's your grit, what are you made of, and I was excited for this art.
Speaker 1:it's like it's like, um, when I want to say like with my hero academia, when they try to get their hero license, or, uh, the boys from hunter hunter getting their hunter license, you know, it's kind of like the license episode. Oh, you know what, nope, you know what. Even better, it's kind of like the tuning exam, especially when it goes left with the grandma heart gil showing up and fucking things up it's definitely.
Speaker 2:That's definitely a way better comparison. It's exactly like that and what I, what I really truly felt about it was that it was really good. I it was great to see the introductions that we get to see. I love how we're getting a. This is the first time we're getting a storyline that feels deeper and I'm literally I was stuck on xer for a while because at first I'm like him and gray Gray have similar hair. I'm like is this Gray's long-lost brother or something?
Speaker 1:Uh, I mean like you're close, but I wouldn't say Gray's.
Speaker 2:True, true.
Speaker 1:It's really funny you saying that Upon first appearance. You know, I was like it's really funny you saying that.
Speaker 2:Upon first appearance. You know who is he. You're like. Who is he related to? Cause he gotta be related to somebody and you know he is right I mean it's really funny.
Speaker 1:It's like a check off gun to me now, to where we didn't understand it at first, but the fact that he was interested in seeing nasu and he was happy to see nasu at last when he finally met. I'm like, what's your fascination with nasu? Like how do you know him exactly?
Speaker 2:this was so good. This was so good because I'm going to be honest with you it threw me off. When we find that out later, like yeah, like upon first seeing him, I'm like, yeah, he's got to be somehow, somehow he's Gray's long lost brother, right, like that's exactly what I was thinking, and then to find out it's the opposite.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. What's even crazier is that I know we're kind of jumping, but we're going to talk about it eventually anyway. The fact that, yeah, natsu is actually built very different and Gray turns out that he had this secret mix. Well, let's just say, gray and nasu's beef with each other runs a little deeper than we thought it would. Yes, I'll just keep it at that yeah, we'll leave it there.
Speaker 2:We'll definitely.
Speaker 1:We definitely have to delve deeper into that way I like we just gotta get to the Alvarez arc or some shit like that.
Speaker 1:But, um, back on the Tenra Island arc where, essentially, um, all the fairytale wizards are trying to do their thing, uh, but then you guys, uh people, well with Grandma Heart, they try to send, like you guys, well with Grandma Heart, they try to send, like, like I like how these henchmen, these foot soldiers, they kind of remind me of the putty monsters from Power Rangers and they just kept coming at them and whatnot, wearing them down. And then the main four from Grandma Heartire heart shows up to read them all out. For starters, there's Zancro, who is pretty much like not built, like not sue, but instead of fire, dragon slayer, mad, he has god slayer magic, which is like superior, innocent. And this is the part where, uh, even though I know we talked about it in the last part with you know, lax is being a second generation, um, dragon slayer, you know eating lacrimal, whatnot.
Speaker 1:Uh kind of reminded me of fire force. But uh, fucking, dan crow being a god slayer magic, um, he kind of reminds me how there's different levels to this shit, to where hell. I think it got to a point where, like, you get layered down the line of fairy tale and by the time you get to like the manga and shit. There's like a fifth generation now. Like what the fuck?
Speaker 2:whoa wait, okay, okay, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it, it's like it's like Okay, first generation, they were actually trained by dragons. Second generation you took lacrimal to become a dragon slayer. Third generation is a fusion of both. Fourth generation is like and I forgot what fourth generation was, but I know fifth one is we literally kill dragons.
Speaker 2:Then we get to an actual dragon slayer. Wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, an actual dragon slayer. Wow, wow, let me look that up real quick. That was the thing.
Speaker 2:Um well, yeah, I was gonna say I was just gonna continue with Zancro and like um, I do want to give an honorable mention first to uh Macroff. I do want to bring him up because, um Macroff is on demon time, he sees the grim heart members first and he's like hold on, mary jay.
Speaker 1:Okay, I got it. Uh, so fourth generation is they were created through magic alone and not taught by dragons oh, okay yeah. So it's like it's weird to where. I'm like okay, first generation taught by dragons. Second generation took lacrima. Third generation did both. Fourth generation not taught by magic, but also didn't um take lacrima, but they just figured it out. And then fifth generation, nah, fuck all that, we just hate dragons.
Speaker 2:Fifth generation was like man. We tired of trying to find. You know what it was. I don't know if they have a cat, maybe that's what's wrong.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That's what's wrong, something I what's wrong, something I totally forgot to mention with the last arc gajil gets his cat.
Speaker 1:oh, he gets his own little kitty they don't just kill dragons, they kill and eat them. They, they eat the flesh.
Speaker 2:And you know, like cannibalism, uh, they either eat dragon flesh or they straight up become cannibal and eat other dragon slayers oh, that's so gross oh no they're also called the dragon eaters oh no, okay, see, what you've done has made me gonna have to go finish reading because I'm not gonna tell you, I'm not gonna reveal the reason why until we get to the end of reviewing this, but um, yeah, no, you made me wanna go back and pick it up and read cause I was so disappointed initially. I've been disappointed for a while, but we're not gonna talk about that yet right now. We're gonna talk about how happy I am that God Jim got his cat we got Pamela and God Jim. About how happy I am that Godjil got his cat we got Pamela and Godjil's cat and I thought that was so awesome.
Speaker 2:Um, but, uh, with Makarov, right, makarov, uh, makarov, seeing Grimro Heart, seeing their guildship first, and him recognizing uh Hades right and first. And him recognizing uh hades right, and just his immediate reaction to like I'm going you mess with my kids, it's time to go down. So much so grip the uh hades is like, hey man, y'all need to get off this ship because I gotta take care of him by myself, cause if y'all don't hold on.
Speaker 1:What is up with all these uh bad eggs coming from fairy tales where it seems like uh, okay, so there's Hades, who was a the second, uh second master okay and then Was Makarov the third.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Okay, so Makarov became the third. And then he had a son, ivan, who went on to Forming that One dark guild. I forgot what his name was.
Speaker 2:Phantom Lord.
Speaker 1:Oh crap, that one dark guild. I forgot what his name was Phantom Lord.
Speaker 2:No, not Phantom Lord. Oh crap, I forgot because he's so unimportant to me.
Speaker 1:I know I'm trying to make a point here, but I have to remember that shit. But basically there's Ivan, and then Ivan is the father of Laxus.
Speaker 2:Ravensail, Excuse me.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:Ravensail.
Speaker 1:Okay, now my point being is that why does it seem like okay for a guild founded by Mavis who is this? Seem like the sweet girl with powerful magic and all that shit, and it's supposed to be built on this beautiful concept? But it seemed like half the people want to like betray the guild and I'm like man, fuck all this love and friendship type shit. We need to be the strongest. There is. Like what y'all doing? You know, all this lovey-dovey, oh, happy go merry type shit, you know.
Speaker 2:So I just found that weird in a sense, but like I think you know you make a really good point and you know I'm always having a theory. My theory is that, essentially because of how good fairy tale is like in general, you know there has to be an antithesis to how good something is, and I believe that with just the amount of energy there, it's literally producing its own antithesis, because without it does the guild grow stronger? Do they continue to fight for this guild to be a guild? I don't think so. I, I don't. I think it would just end up falling apart. Of course, if there's no evil to fight, what does good have to do? That's my theory.
Speaker 2:I don't know, because it does see, you're not wrong, it does seem to produce like. They do seem to produce like. They do seem to produce some of the crazies, and it's always the people who are going to become the next set of leaders, like because you Luxus, right, luxus is what's supposed to be next in line and of course you know he was abused by his dad and that was absolutely horrendous and terrible. But Luxus also ends up kind of becoming slightly a bad egg until he's beaten some sense into right, and it's just. You're not wrong. It makes a very good point. That fairy tale can sometimes be its own worst enemy I mean, oh, you know what?
Speaker 1:it's funny how, even though uh council would look at their actions like hey, hey, man, if they get out of pocket one more time, we're shutting them down.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Even council was like listen, listen, y'all can't keep doing this All this damage that you're doing to the city fuck. Now, mind you, this is also in the first season too, where they're like listen, listen, y'all gotta, you gotta, stop destroying the city, please. Even the city is like threatening to throw them out, like they're happy to have a guild there because it brings money and influence right, but also, at the same time, our streets man, our whole that taxpayers money like I'm like, and can you imagine all those regular citizens be like?
Speaker 1:you mean to tell me all these taxes that I pay for y'all?
Speaker 2:bro, you know what I'm convinced y'all can't get y'all shit together. I'm convinced that's why the guild never really had a lot of money all the time.
Speaker 1:I'm convinced that Macroff was like I'll just slide this. But now when you think about it, like when they had that second renovation of the guild after it was destroyed, it's like where the fuck the money come from? Oh wait, hold on. It had to be like some S-class or A-class mages doing some work on the side. I'm like, alright, I guess they had to put in some extra work, got going on some quest to make up the money for all this shit.
Speaker 2:Listen, I'm gonna be straight honest with you. I low-key think they just took the money from the dark guild they beat. I low-key think Mack.
Speaker 1:Ruff is like you're going to leave it what y'all doing.
Speaker 2:We got bills to pay. Them streets ain't going to pay themselves.
Speaker 1:To be honest I'm going to say Mack Ruff kind of comes off as neutral good to where I'm like. I'm going to say Mark Ruff kind of comes off as neutral good to where I'm like he probably won't operate under, like he'll have like some integrity. But sometimes.
Speaker 2:Sometimes I'm like, hey man, it's not like they're going to need it. Exactly what are they going to do with it? They've just been defeated, they've left, they left the. There's nothing left for them.
Speaker 1:I mean they just banned it, so like.
Speaker 2:Shouldn't we give back to our community? Isn't that what we should do? Yeah, but um, so back to this fight, right?
Speaker 1:Hey, marco, that's a nice coat. Like what'd you get that coat? I'm like, uh, the internet.
Speaker 2:Bro, he did come out styling with them jacket boys. Hang on how that fur started looking nice. It was gleaming and gleaming.
Speaker 1:What Nah, oh man, that's really bad. We make it seem that way. It's like you got this nude drip. I'm like where you get the money from. I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2:Think about it. Think about it. They got it from the dark. You or you want me to tell you? Another theory I have is that Lucy's father is low-key, just funding them sometimes.
Speaker 1:Like we never know, like no, hold on, that'd be. I can kind of believe that, but it's like almost like saying, oh man, like uh, mental gymnastics with this one, because let's keep in mind that originally, uh, phantom war was hired to kidnap Lucy for Him. So now you're telling me that, oh, I tried to send you money, but I'm like you didn't want to take it, so I send it to the guild because you know like okay, since she didn't Want to take it from me directly, why don't you just, you know, take this money Just to make sure that she's cool while she's With y'all?
Speaker 2:Sounds like a caring father to me.
Speaker 1:God damn like it's like it's kind of wild. How like, um, there's like the fathers in these shows, and this show specifically, is like hit or miss. It's like either. Either it's like oh well, you know he wasn't the best father, but he was good to me in the end or no, no, he you know, it's like whipping a coin, is like either he's gonna be a good father or a bad father.
Speaker 1:But like I was like okay, some good fathers, okay, cool, cool, cool is like either he's gonna be a good father or a bad father, but like the consistency of how, like okay, some good fathers, okay, cool, cool, but then just like some bad eggs, I'm like god damn you know what is up with, um, a lot of these creators not having like a lot of moms involved, because, like I guess you could say, the biggest mom figure we had was like her right, like her Grey's Master but you compare this to like One Piece.
Speaker 2:We know what happens in One Piece. Where are the moms? We don't even know where they're at most of the time, or or they always no, no, no, listen.
Speaker 1:Alright, mira Jane, I got a theory and it's gonna probably be like a hot. It's almost like after dark territory. But hear me out. We have the. Fatherless behavior is more rampant in America, but what if over in the east? Motherless behavior is more rampant in america, but what if over in the east, motherless behavior is more rampant there?
Speaker 2:oh, that's such a dark tape. Oh, that's so good though you know. Now you're gonna have me. Oh see, I was gonna go to bed.
Speaker 1:I was like hold on y'all. Now this is like the pattern, the consistency of it all. I'm like what are y'all telling us?
Speaker 2:I gotta look this up because I need to know, because, if you think about it too, like how oppressive, like I don't know if you watch like J-dramas or K-dramas, but I mean I don't know, like that's something I want to try, maybe that's something we can talk about later, but, um, within, like K-dramas, the moms are always so oppressive and the dads are always lighthearted and funny and they're so caring and nurturing. But the moms are all like if you don't do your homework and if you don't make straight ends and I'm not trying to like, I'm just saying in the shows, you know it's just like that or they're doing everything for their kids literally cheat cheese running around.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, literal cheat, literal cheat cheese running around. Yes, yes, literal cheat, literal cheat. She's running around. And, mind you, there's this um 1k drama I always recommend, uh, green motherhood, something like that. Um, it's on netflix and when watching it, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about you'll be like keep in mind when we say like motherless and faultless behavior.
Speaker 1:That doesn't mean that they're completely out of the picture.
Speaker 2:It's more like you either have mother issues or daddy issues and I'm like and I'm wondering exactly that's exactly what we're saying like it's more of the who. What bigger issues are people actually having?
Speaker 1:and it seems maybe you're right maybe it's more mommy issues, because in a, in western culture, it's definitely more daddy oh, no, no, no, no, no see, look, look, uh, it's funny because watching this one podcast shout out to cost and crendor, by the way uh, they were telling me how I think over in east, I think it was like in japan, specifically to where there's literally like a cafe, to where, uh, a dude can go in there and share a room with a girl and cuddle and whatnot. It's not sexual, nothing sexual, but it's like personal touch type shit, someone to keep company, shit like that. I'm like hold on.
Speaker 1:Y'all don't got a girlfriend. For that shit I'm like hold on, y'all don't got a girlfriend for that shit.
Speaker 2:I'm like god damn.
Speaker 1:God damn. They even said to themselves bro, they are really like y'all gotta have like serious mommy issues to like spend 10 hours in those shits. Like you gotta have to spend up to 10 hours in those cafes and spend like what?
Speaker 2:$500 to $5,000, I think shit like you guys have to spend up to 10 hours in those cafes and spend like what? Five, five hundred to five thousand dollars. I think, yeah, yeah, that's insane. I didn't even. First of all. That's news to me that they have cuddle cafes. I'm gonna call them a cuddle cafe.
Speaker 1:I don't know the the actual name, so I'm gonna call it cuddle cafe I literally didn't know, but like that's the best way to put it because like that's the main thing.
Speaker 2:You really go there's more like you just want a woman to touch you, that's all wow, that's, I told you I'm like man, I'm telling bad, you had to be you're gonna have me this is gonna have me up late tonight. I'm gonna come back with a report to let you know exactly what's going on out in those streets in the east man.
Speaker 1:but um, what else about the tenra island I'm gonna talk about? Okay, okay, okay, hold on. Uh, let's talk about this one creepy dude, kind Hikaru.
Speaker 1:It's like the fat dude that voodoo magic and I'm like, okay, he is built like one of those dudes that look like he'd be hitting up those cuddle cafes Wow, hilarious, hilarious. That look like he'd be hitting up those cuddle cafes wow, hilarious, hilarious. I mean that's the only way you're gonna get some. I'm you know what. On one hand, it's like I try not to be mean, but this other hand, is like nah, fuck that because fuck this dude, like he was coming off so pathetic and down bad like ah man like whatever it's, whatever uh he was fighting Lucy, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, yeah fighting um Lucy, and it was like one other person involved. I'm trying to remember uh, lucy, and it was like one other person involved. I'm trying to remember oh Kana, like Kana was helping her out too did Kana help out?
Speaker 2:oh, she did. She did help out in this one. I don't know, but I felt like Kana was fighting someone else too, didn't she? Or?
Speaker 1:was it it was they were like kind of going on. They were kind of at first they were doing the exam, but then when grandma Hart showed up, then like okay, everything getting all mixed up and like okay, I need to go help out Lucy or whoever else yeah, yeah, that's exactly you're so right.
Speaker 2:Okay, you're still not wrong, this dude, holy snap wow I didn't want to agree with you. Dude, holy snap.
Speaker 1:Wow, I didn't want to agree with you, but damn, and not in a bad way, I just didn't want to like I didn't want to, but you're right, he looks down bad and speaking of down bad, let's talk about Zodio's dusty ass, where he possessed Capricorn for like 17 years because, oh, turns out that he was one of the uh people under leila heart failure, uh, lucy's mom, and leila was like okay, I'm kind of done being a wizard, so I'm gonna give my keys away. Here's one for you, one for you, one for you. Go off and have a life.
Speaker 1:And then zoldio went off and like, yeah, I'm kind of doing, I'm kind of dark shit. And he went did this taboo to where he fused himself with the celestial spirit so he could like take over pretty much. He pulled a genu like a captain genu, but all like he was going around trying to steal bodies and shit so he can become human. But ironically, when he finally like got out of his body like yay, I finally got my body back, I'm human again I was like oh no, I'm nothing but spirit, like I'm going back to the spirit world. Like isn't that ironic how like you did the ultimate taboo. And as soon as you finally got back to normal quote, unquote you had to go live off and become a spirit.
Speaker 1:So that's what you're asking it really is, though he deserved it that's why I say he's dusty, because he looks dusty, and that's what he is. He literally turned into like spiritual dust he really did and the last one.
Speaker 1:Okay, I want to say this is more like a twofer, but that's just kind of how it is. There's old tier and mary where, okay, I'm to a point where I'm kind of getting sick of old tier showing up like I know she's supposed to be, like this secondary antagonist, kind of like this whole orochi maru type deal going on to where, ultimately, she was trying to do all this shit, uh, for the sake of her mother, which, by the way, it just feel like they have like this dubious relationship where it just seems like, does she love her mother or don't she? Because it feels like Half the time she claimed that she loves her but, on the other hand, I feel like she still resents her for, you know, negligence, because it just felt like, oh, you only got time for those boys, gray and Leon, so I feel like you don't love your own flesh and blood, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then, on top of that, fucking, it's all Gray's fault that you're dead. So I have to go through these measures to revive you. So I have to go through these measures to revive you.
Speaker 1:Meanwhile, my not-daughter Meridy looking up to me, and then now she got this whole hit list out to where she want to kill everybody on the fairytale guild. And guess who's on number fucking one Gray fucking Bullbuster. And that's what you was like. What'd you say, bitch, what gray fucking bull buster.
Speaker 2:And then after Juvia was like what you say, bitch Juvia, I had never seen. Did you see Juvia's face?
Speaker 1:yeah, that's the thing. That's why I'm like what you say, bitch oh, no I felt in my heart of hearts.
Speaker 2:Jvia was about to create c4 like I don't know how she was gonna do it, but she was fixing to make a bomb right now that phantom, lord dave's about to come back out let's not. Let's not. You know what. What's the worst type of a thunderstorm? That something be created. She was going to create A freaking tornado. I don't freaking know, but she definitely. I've never seen someone that.
Speaker 1:I love. The fact of the matter is Like look it's one thing, marity Threatened to kill her man. Like look, it's one thing, meridy Threatened to kill her man. I feel like Any woman who Loves her man dearly Would go. I completely understand where Julia would come from. You're not gonna stand there and say you plan on killing my. I mean, can you imagine, like imagine someone asked me like one day I'm gonna kill your girlfriend.
Speaker 2:I'm like what you saying.
Speaker 1:I'm like what you saying I'm like, no, I'm gonna take that personally.
Speaker 2:I'm like, oh, I can't let that slide listen, this is how much Juvia was ready. She didn't care. So, meredith, you know she's like linking. She's able to link people to each other so they can feel each other's pain or link them to herself, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, and basically she's making it sound like, okay, uh, I'm gonna link you to uh gray and then me, so that way you share each other's pain. And then merity, ironically, was acting just like grades, where I was like, oh well, time to kill myself and I I'm like she pulled out that kunai and was ready to cut her.
Speaker 2:Oh wait, not her hair.
Speaker 2:It's like she was definitely. And then here's Juvia, right, like, oh, you think you're about to do that? I will cut off my own leg, ma'am, like. But you think you about to do that? I will cut off my own leg, ma'am, like, and, but, um, I. And then this is another child that was taken, that was just taken in, right, like why did o's here do this? It was like she was trying to recreate what her mom did and she just decided to do it twistedly.
Speaker 2:Like she could have been better. You know she really could have, like cause, I ain't gonna lie, though, when you think about Meridy, she really had the ability to be one of the strongest wizards in this freaking show. Yeah, like she really could cause. There's so many things you can make people feel and think like. You think of depression, right, anxiety, uh, fear, like all of those things could have been connecting and she could have really trained that. But no, altair's just so moody. Oh, my mom left me. I'm sorry, sorry.
Speaker 2:You know what I did love, though when Zerif Beat that ass, when that one little he made like one little magic black orb Right and throws it. And Altair's like, oh, I can dodge that. She dodges it, but it touches the tree and destroys it completely. I was like, yep, yep, see, bitch, you don't even know what you're fighting. She didn't even know what she was doing or who she was up against. Now, I didn't think this was my only problem with this fight. Right, because Zaref is supposed to be this ultimate, all powerful thing, like all he had to do was touch her right, takes the life out of everything and Altair ends up performing some kind of attack. I can't remember. I think she attacks with, like luminous menace because, know, ulcer has control over time. Right, she attacks with this attack called luminous minutes and she's like, oh well, now I win. Did you feel like that was kind of a little lackluster to end the fight that?
Speaker 1:fast. Yeah, it kind of was like see, that's the kind of funny thing to where, um, I remember the build up, uh, the ending. I'm like it kind of felt like they were just you know what.
Speaker 2:This fight's kind of dragging on a little too long let's just go ahead and call it and like just get it over with, like just phone it in yeah, it did feel that way because I know, like, okay, so I guess we do have to take into consideration that Z zarif had said this time around he did. He had no intention of doing anything, he just wanted to be there. He just he didn't want to see wards. You know, he was really tired of seeing people dying already. So maybe he just wasn't, maybe maybe this is I guess we can give this and say this is just kind of the beginning, right, this is just the first introduction to zarath and he.
Speaker 2:So we can say he was very shaken by seeing natu, right, and we get more backstory on on zarath. So I won't dig too deep into it, but I think that's that's the only fight that I was like a little disappointed in but also glad to see, just to see Altair have, first of all, an extreme mental breakdown after she sees him, um, and to finally, I don't to understand why she is the way she is and to realize that she's just a little bitch, you know, just to get to that realization. It made me kind of happy to see that, but I do feel like the fight could have went on a little bit longer. But that's my own personal critique of that one.
Speaker 1:I feel that, other than that, who else in Grimmore Heart cause there's? I pulled it up now um, there was some characters where I'm like, oh, damn, I kinda forgot about these guys.
Speaker 1:There was Blue Note, there was Ozma and Rusty Rose, those only guys that we didn't mention yet. But I was like thinking, um, I mean, there was Blue Note, there was Ozma and Rusty Rose, those are the only guys that we didn't mention yet. But I was like thinking, I mean, okay, like their magic was interesting. But here's the funny thing about that when I'm looking at Grandma or Heart and, based on what went down in tenro island, like the only like three people left after all, that shit was blue note, rusty rose and, uh, kane hikaru or a kind of car, however you want to pronounce that Voodoo man.
Speaker 2:We're going to call him. Cuddle Boy. That's what we're going to call him. We're going to call him Cuddle Boy.
Speaker 1:That is now his new name, pretty sure he visits Cuddle Cafe, but there was the only three left, where three of them Capricorn decided to join up with Lucy, you know the old celestial spirit thing. So obvious, merida and Ultir defected because, you know, like that's the funny thing with Ultir Like man she's always jumping ships and whatnot just to fulfill her agenda and just kind of makes it seem like, okay, what is this girl got going on? Because it just feels like she's just going to be this secondary antagonist through all this, or maybe she's like one of those people that's going to be in the background well, not completely in the background, but fuck, like she kind of comes in and out of the story and I don't know. Like I said earlier, I just can't stand this woman.
Speaker 2:You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:There's something about her, just the way she's built. I can't stand this woman, oh God. There's something about her, just the way her teeth feel Like just I can't stand this.
Speaker 2:Oh God. So what did you? You want me to tell you what else I found I find lackluster. I can't get off old here, I can't. I'm going to finish. This is it? This is the last thing I find lackluster about this woman, okay Is?
Speaker 2:She ends up finding out, like you know, she has the big fight with, uh, greg right, um, and during this big fight, she ends up finding out that it was a complete misunderstanding with her mom. Like she was holding this misunderstanding that let it, it literally fueled her and she never tried to figure it out. She was just like, well, I'm going to join Grim Rear Heart and I'm going to be evil because what? And the misunderstanding was that her mom was leaving her. No, it was because Altair was literally killing her the time she controlled time, when she didn't have control over it, she had to give her daughter up. She was killing people and doing like, unintentionally, she wasn't trying to, but she was a kid with this really strong power, so and she thought, unfortunately, she wasn't trying to, but she was a kid with this really strong power.
Speaker 1:So and she thought, oh well, mom gave me up and just left me with these terrible people, right? No, she wasn't. It's almost like what happens in the Marvel Universe, where some kid get mutant powers and it's like oh well, you know, we got to make you go far away because you got powers that we don't understand and whatnot. Oh, let mommy daddy like I just want.
Speaker 2:No, no, you gotta go with them no, because you might blow up the rest of our block. You know, we we really like living in this house. We look, I'm pretty sure I know it hurt, or like we know it hurt her because she found substitute children. Right, let's be honest, that's what she did. She found. She found other children because she knew that she would never be able to raise old tier the way she wanted to, right, and to fill that void, look who she's taking in All these other kids. And then, when you think about it, right, so the end of that battle, she falls into the ocean On Galuna Island and she realizes that her mom's spirit Is flowing in the ocean and now she has a hug from her mommy.
Speaker 1:Can you imagine, like how old tier was taking all her trauma out on Merity? Maybe not in a super abusive way, but it's more like in a way to where, because of the way she was kind of emotionally abandoned by her, but that's based on her perception of it this bullshit that she went to went through onto merity, to a point to where that's why merity, as young as she is already having a hit list of people to kill. Because I'm like you, inconvenience, inconvenience my mother for the last time right, right, and then you know what that's such a good.
Speaker 2:I do think that that's exactly what she was doing. I also think, in the most twisted way, right, she saw merity. As she looked at merity and saw the broken version of herself, she saw the little kid version of herself and did everything she could to not fix that kid but to fuck that kid up. Worse, that's exactly what. Because we end up finding out right later that um old tier had destroyed merity's hometown and merity never knew that yeah, that's the thing, like I, I just love it.
Speaker 1:How, um, it was a story similar to this where, um, you know, for some reason it seems like the one person that you trusted, one person that raised you, turns out to be the perpetrators of dumb shit like this. Like, honestly, it kind of reminds me of the cruella uh movie, to where, uh, essentially, um, that one, the one woman that, um, she started working for and whatnot, the one that's making life uh hard for her and all that shit turns out that was her mother and whatnot, uh, and that's when she went crazy and shit.
Speaker 1:But I'm misremembering. I might even review that movie I don't know yet. But point being is that it's just crazy how it's the person that you looked up to and shit Turns out they were the one that Was behind some of the shit. That's almost like saying, if you were, if you didn't grow up with your real parents and you had like foster parents or adoptive parents the whole time, and it turns out that your adoptive parents was the one that killed your real parents.
Speaker 2:Wild shit, but wild shit but you know you want me to tell you what I thought was kind of like uh, you want to say what I thought was kind of like a bs way to try to wrap this up with merity and old tear. You know, old tear, merity confronts Altair and asks right like did you do it, did you really do it? And Altair's like, yes, of course I did. Like she stabs herself so that Marity doesn't try to kill it like bro. But in the end, you know, since Marity can sense Link, she feels Altair's tear, sadness and her regrets and she's like oh, I can forgive you now, she's still beautiful speaking of forgiveness, I know we're kind of jumping again, but I like how, with Merity and some other folks like Jalal, they eventually create a group yeah, create a crime yeah, yeah, they eventually create a group.
Speaker 1:Yeah, create a crime school. Yeah, they eventually make this group and old Tira was part of it. But once again, old Tira was like nah, I'm out.
Speaker 2:She has commitment issues. At this point, I think commitment and abandonment issues are the most behavior Shut up.
Speaker 1:Shut up.
Speaker 2:I'm not wrong right now, but uh, Loki forgot, you made me lose my train of thought. I hate you, but you know let's just skip because, like I think we've skipped all over the place. At this point I kind of want to talk about a happier family moment. So, of course, Kana is taking this exam, Right, and we end up finding out later who Kana. We find out the reason she joined Fairytale and you know, it's because she was looking for her father.
Speaker 1:Hmm.
Speaker 2:And who is her father? No one less than Gildart. Of course it's Gildart. I'll be honest, were you surprised?
Speaker 1:Because I was shocked. I kind of was I'm like I didn't piece that, I don't.
Speaker 2:I didn't think it would be gildar at all, I don't know, it's like really listen, I look I kind of really loved it, because. So we find out later, of course, that Kana has latent ability, like she's actually really freaking strong. She's just hasn't fully tapped into all of her potential. And that's because look who your daddy is, of course you are Right. And he ends up so Gildart's only marries one woman his whole entire life, her name's cornelia, and he only has one kid, but he leaves um after connor's like maybe four or five. He just left 18 years ago because cornelia never told him that she was pregnant. Right, didn't know. So, wait, not even she. Well, that means he left way before this. So Cornelia didn't tell Gildart that she was pregnant. So, of course, guess what he does? Dips out right, leaves for 18 years, doesn't know, he has a kid.
Speaker 2:And here comes kana and this kind of goes back into the thing. This is one of the things that one piece does, right, the mom is dead, the mom dies, child goes looking for father, finds father, and now it's happily ever after. What she's she like, what is this thing like? And not only that, but, mind you, guild arts has been watching kana grow up here. He's been in and out of the guild, but he's kind of been watching her grow up, and we get to see, like you know, the flashbacks where connor would be waiting for him to come back from a mission, just because she wanted to see his face.
Speaker 2:And I'm like now, this is this, this is a happier version, and, but just look in the comparison of old tier, right, how tragic that was. And it was just the mom. You know there's something going on here. We got to figure this out. This is this is what we need to figure out, because these happy moments with these fathers and these tragic moments with these mothers, man, something's going on in fairy tale, um, but was there's a lot that happened in this art? When you think about it, j Christ. We get to see fairy law and fairy glitter used, which I thought was super freaking awesome. Um, we find out that there's three great magics Fairy law, fairy glitter. Do you remember that other one?
Speaker 1:Uh, fairy law do you remember that other one? Uh, very long. Well, I was thinking of what Hades had with Grimmar Law, but I don't know if that's it.
Speaker 2:I think it's oh crap, I'll have to look it up. I can't remember right now, but we find out about those and then we also, mind you, tenro Island is where the origination of Fairytale was right. So this is why I think it was great that we met Zaref here. I think it was great that. I think it's also great that this is where the S-Class test is staged every year, because you, you've got to go back to your roots, and this is exactly what tenro island was. It was a revisitation back to the roots, and I really love that. And how much detail that went into fleshing out this. This, the story arc, was kind of insane, because there really was a lot going on. Um, there was a lot going on in this arc, um, I think, oh, urza's battle with Azuma, how'd you feel?
Speaker 1:mmm. I, I, I, I'm not, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2:I ain't nothing wrong with it, mirror Jane fought him first. I just wanna point that out. Use her Satan soul. She was whooping up on that ass. But you know, we gotta save something for Urza leftovers. But um, I just wanted to at least give it like a kind of an honorable mention. Um, as always, we gotta, we gotta shout out Urza. We gotta shout out Mary Jane every time. Um, oh, I guess we can wrap this up with like the big. We gotta shout out Urza. We gotta shout out Mary Jane Every time. Oh, I guess we can wrap this up with the big ending. Right? So we find out, zara.
Speaker 1:Very hard.
Speaker 2:That's it. That's it, thank you.
Speaker 1:I was trying to think of something.
Speaker 2:That's it that honestly I love. I think my favorite one is Fairy Law, because it's it's super cool that there's and there's only a few guild members who can use it and you have to be chosen to be able to use it. So I really think that's super cool. So fairy law is like one of my favorite of the three. But, um, just kind of to wrap this up and kind of wrap up the story, the end of tenro island right, we um make it to the end of it and tenro island is like. And Tenro Island is like Xerath is the missing piece to Awakening A terrible dragon, the black dragon of the apocalypse Achnologia.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like the first time you hear of uh evil dragon and the first time mack roth um tries to hold back the dragon and and seeing in everyone just that terrified of this beast I was kind of digging design, by the way bro, I'm not gonna lie to you. It kind of I wish it was in a beyblade.
Speaker 1:I know that's no, but it kind of reminds me like a beyblade type like something straight from bakugan or something I don't know no, I haven't watched bakugan in years.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna have to put that on, but uh, it definitely did seasons of that now oh, don't tell me that. See, see, never mind. You know what, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna try. We're gonna see what happens. I might fall asleep, but it I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to try. We're going to see what happens.
Speaker 1:I might fall asleep, but it'll be okay, I'm sorry, but I had to point that out because I was thinking I kind of want to re-watch, because I kind of wanted to review on it, because I did like Bakugan but I'm like fuck they did a lot of season stuff.
Speaker 2:They did you One year at a time.
Speaker 1:True, true, true.
Speaker 2:We could take it one year at a time. But, um, zaref awakens Achnologia by whispering the name. And now, mind you, this was all Altair's fault. This is why she's the most hated character in this show. Okay, this was all her fault, because Zaref wasn't thinking about doing any of it, right? He was like, oh, it's fine, you know like, I just want to be peaceful this time.
Speaker 1:I just want to be left alone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, why didn't she just leave him Now? Of course?
Speaker 1:Psy. No see. This is why this is the point where I'm like I count our appeal for zero, because sometimes we're about to fuck off, Aww.
Speaker 2:I mean, yeah, you're not wrong, it do be like that sometimes. I wish they would have left him alone, because he was really trying to cope with everything that happened this time around, right like he was actually doing the self-work. You know what we need to applaud there for trying and then shame him for releasing the apocalypse.
Speaker 1:Of course, yeah, it's almost like, oh well, I can't help it. You guys, you know I just have this potent evil energy. You know I just gotta release it on the world. That's why I made shit like lullaby and whatnot. That's why, um, or pretty like Lullaby and whatnot. That's why, um, or pretty much Sacrifice for a Life. You know, it's like really wild. How like uh he, this web of oh, your response for this, so I'm gonna kill your response to that. You know, um, the whole thing between Ultir Merity Grey, ur and between Ultir Merity Grey, ur and Zeroth, and I'm like sometimes these, these dots that they're trying to connect with these characters, and it just feels like, oh, good lord, like the world building is great, like I'm not complaining about that, but sometimes it just feel like whoa, hold on, y'all got a whole lot of shit going on this, this, this arc was really packed.
Speaker 2:It took a lot to get through and a lot to remember and consume, but yeah, see, that's what I'm saying with ozuma.
Speaker 1:Like I remember his face, I remember what he looked like, but I'm like, as far as the fight, I'm like I don't know, it was kind of hard to remember. Like like see, I'm I'm trying to cram for like two seasons and I'm like some things just gonna get lost in the sauce and I'm like, oh fuck, well, I didn't really stop to really think about that fight, like I just I saw it and then I just moved on, you know yeah, I feel you.
Speaker 2:I feel you. Um, those are all you know.
Speaker 1:You have your favorite characters, so sometimes they stick out a little bit more to you, you'll remember merity fight was the main one that stuck out for me for the most part, like I would have said the hikaru thing, but like it was, I found it more funny than, like, notable. But the meridy fight was the main one because I was like with juvia and shit, like yeah, that's the one yeah, that one, that one was really good to be.
Speaker 2:To be honest with you, I think for me I don't have a favorite fight of this one. I think the moment that, uh, I think seeing mack roth be a team leader, like seeing him be the guild master, was super freaking crazy, you know, like it's not that we hadn't seen it before, but the consistency because he always showing up for his kids, man, yeah, like he's so consistent and you don't really see that in a lot of other animes, um, where, like usually the guild master eventually becomes like background character. You know, mac rob, it was a.
Speaker 1:He feels balanced, he's around enough to where you like dang, he's so cool, but then he's not annoying to where you're like, oh, they're just gonna use macrom again, you know at least it's not like, uh well, not nothing against them, but at least it's not like yamamoto from bleeds, where it's like, okay, here's this old man that's like the head of all this shit, like is he gonna get into the action, or what, and then you wait until like way later I was shit like is he gonna get into the action, or what, and then you went into like way later I was like, okay, he's kind of about the action, but I kind of didn't like how it did. It took this long for him to finally do something this long man.
Speaker 2:This, that's exactly it. That's why I felt like this was so balanced yeah, that's see.
Speaker 1:That's why a lot of people don't give fairytale the flowers they deserve, because it does some things right it does a lot of the things.
Speaker 2:let me say this a lot of the tropes that were happening around, like naruto, bleach, um, a lot of those what, like one piece or like uh, trying to think what was another one that was coming out at that time, another Shonen at that time I can't think of another one right now but he took all of those tropes, combined them and then took the parts that in my opinion, were kind of wrong, like Kakashi. Right, kakashi was overused, in my opinion. I felt like I should have missed him more and then when he came around, he should have been even more OP at that time, like I should have felt that right.
Speaker 1:I mean, Kakashi crawled so that Gojo can soar, you know.
Speaker 2:We ain't gonna talk about my baby dick, don't bring him up.
Speaker 1:I mean I'm sorry I was kind of doing this in the jiu-jitsu kaisen review to where I'm like you know, jiu-jitsu kaisen kind of come off like a neuroso clone to me. And like with gojo, like gojo is literally what you've been talking about with kakashi. To where I'm like um, gojo, fucking um, will hang hang back in the cut because you know he's the strongest there is, so he doesn't really need to jump into every fight because otherwise you just get born because, uh, it'll be like you would literally be treating gojo like he's. Go to where I'm like hey, yo, so there's this problem. Gojo, can you handle it, man? Why do I always got to handle it? Why can't y'all fucking do it All the time you run to me for shit?
Speaker 2:Listen one day. I just want Goku to throw his hands up and be like nah, Nah, Nah, not me.
Speaker 1:Goku's problem, the poison in him, is that he always itching for a fight, like, oh, is they strong? I was like, yeah, they're pretty strong. I was like all right, I got this. But if you're like no, tell him. I swear to God. You tell Goku like I mean, he ain't that strong. I'm like nah, you got it. Then, fam.
Speaker 2:But yeah, I think that's the last thing to wrap up the end of the season, right is, this is the seven-year skip.
Speaker 1:Yes, Excuse me, mm-hmm. Nah, I'm saying'm out yawning and shit um don't get sleepy on me.
Speaker 2:It is like, though, it is getting weak and it's getting like, but uh, yeah, like the everyone thinks. Everyone thinks that our favorite, some of our favorite fairytale majors, that they're dead. But it's really a seven year skit, and this is the part where I can't remember the english term for it, but where the audience knows something that the inside characters don't know. Right, and the next time we come back, that's when we see what happens after the seven year skip. Um and the magic council, they even they gave up, and that's saying something. The magic council went and looked for fairy tale members. They weren't like oh no, thank god.
Speaker 1:Finally, they were like no well nah, the main problem children are gone.
Speaker 2:So oh well.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm glad they actually did go Out and search for them and I can only imagine Um, oh, I'm sorry, the main people that have been destroying our city Is gone.
Speaker 1:We are making this high Priority.
Speaker 2:Why our city is gone. We are making this high priority why? You know what you sound like, you know how, like a lot of like um, people will have that one secretary beside them who's like listen, bro, this is a bad idea, like I don't know, and they're just like the president of it. And they're like, yeah, we're going to go search for them. And the secretary is like this is no, no, no, we're not. We're not doing that. That's what you sound like right now.
Speaker 1:That one person, that's the main one with the common sense. I'm like, uh happening here. Why are we trying to look for the people that's been destroying our city?
Speaker 2:Exactly. We shouldn't be. We should be leaving them where they're at.
Speaker 1:I mean, you know how they say with General Island it's the gravesite of Maven, Vermillion and fairytale members. Their magic is stronger on the island, so, hell, why don't you take all these fairy tail guild members and push them somewhere else?
Speaker 2:Listen, why don't y'all all just stay on Tenro Island? How about that? Yeah, why? Why did y'all decide to come?
Speaker 1:here. I wouldn't be surprised if someone said that I was like hey man, we might as well put the rest of them on Tenro Island while we're at it.
Speaker 2:hey man, we might as well put the rest of them on Tenro Island while we're at it, but you got anything else left to say about Tenro?
Speaker 1:Nah, once again solid art. But I'm like, honestly, between Edelus and Tenro Island. I'm not saying that Tenro Island was not as good as Edelus, but edilis kind of stuck to me a little bit more as far as like concepts in the world, building everything. But tenra island is more like okay, this is the final art before the time skip. Like uh, once again we get into this.
Speaker 1:Well, I know uh can't keep making these naruto references, but there's just some things that Naruto did the franchise where it's like it kind of feels like it's gonna be a thing, and a lot of different franchises too, like that formula going on and Naruto was like the main one, aside from Dragon Ball that had the whole time skip thing. Like well, keep in mind, hold on backtracking and I swear to god we're gonna conclude to where a lot of people didn't watch Dragon Ball. That's why, when they watched Dragon Ball Z first and they're like wait, there was a prequel to all this, like um, I wouldn't call it a prequel because Dragon Ball became came out before Dragon Ball Z, but we were introduced to Dragon Ball Z before Dragon Ball. Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 1:Point being is that if we exclude Dragon Ball, naruto is the main one with the whole time skip thing to where, okay, the characters gonna be doing their own thing for a little while and then they're gonna come back and be about the action. But ever since then Damn near all the Major franchises had to have Like some sort of time scale. One Piece had it Fucking. I'm sorry, I almost. I know there's a whole bunch of them, but I'm trying to really think of ones.
Speaker 2:But um, oh you know, this is a rare one. Hackson had a weird time skip. Yeah, it was a weird time skip, though, but it was a time skip hackson had one. Um, there was kind ofa. It was a weird time skip, though, but it was a time skip Dimehackson had one. There was kind of a time skip, if you think about it, in Dragon Ball Z when Goku Was traveling back from Namek.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:That was a short one, though, if you want to count it yeah, I don't know, it's just something about the way naruto did.
Speaker 1:It's where, okay, um, it just felt canonical, like, oh, we're just intentionally gonna have this thing to where, um, they're just gonna be gone for a while, um not like, okay, the season's over and we're just gonna walk away from the whole franchise for a while and because popular demand, all right, we'll come back for another season and we're just gonna have to explain why. Uh, we've been inactive for a while. So, okay, yeah, it's been a while, so we're gonna have to like, uh, age of the characters and all the other shit, um, I don't know. Just something about the way naruto um did it to where they kind of made time skips, popular it did it really.
Speaker 2:You know you're right. You know what was another one that ended up having a good time skip. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure actually had some good time skips.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and to be fair, though, like ah, dang, like I want to say, to an extent a lot of those parts can be its own story. So it's like, yeah, it's part of the Joestar family, but outside of that continuation of the Joestar family's bullshit going on, if you didn't even make it about the family, those characters would probably have their own stories. Like, okay, yeah, they're a joe star, but, um, the events of the part doesn't necessarily have to do with dio, or you know kind of what they did with part four. Perfect examples where not necessarily have to do anything with dio did or some acolyte of dio. But it could just be some dude that just so happened to have a stand and he's fucking shit up and the Joestar of the season gonna have to deal with him. It could be something like that.
Speaker 1:Like the stories, the way they go about it, like yeah that's true, that's true they also kind of did it in part five, but, uh, the only thing about it is that, even though dio wasn't involved directly, it's the fact that it was the son of dio.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, that was part 5, which I still want, an explanation Of how Dio had a son.
Speaker 1:Let's just say Dio Gets around, he gets around, so he he oh, wow around, so he yeah, yeah, oh, wow, wow, wow I mean he's also a vampire, so I'm like you know he might need some company, like he'll probably like um some, like sleep with some women and then probably kill him for their blood later you know what I don't?
Speaker 2:I mean?
Speaker 1:it's the allure of being a vampire, especially a vampire with the voice of Patrick Sills.
Speaker 2:We're not going to talk about that, mm-mm, mm-mm. Nope, we're going to leave that where that's at.
Speaker 1:I'm not touching that one, not with a 10-foot pole because, you're not wrong, it's like the Twilight of bed it there. It's like, oh, he's a handsome vampire. It's like just there's just something about him, it's the lord. It's like some of the charisma that he has, like he's so intelligent and shit, like look at all the books he read on. Oh my god, like it you know what?
Speaker 2:uh, you know what? Bram Stoker's Dracula definitely set that tone. I'm not gonna lie to you. If you ever get the chance, just read, just start with the third chapter. You can skip chapter one and two, just forget it. But chapter three, chapter three, everything you just described happening in that book, and starting in chapter three, and the woman's just like oh, he's so intellectual, wow, he's so well. I think the exact words were like he's so well read and versed in literature and I'm like he kidnapped you stockholm syndrome in two chapters.
Speaker 2:Oh, my god, bram, shogun, dracula, man, um. But I think that's all I got for ten row island. I think my I'll say we'll close it out and say my favorite was uh, yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you. I agree, edelweiss was my favorite of the two. I, there was a lot I appreciated about ten row Island, but it was so much happening that sometimes it just like I couldn't keep up with everything that was going on, with all the moving pieces and all the things that were changing, and I think that it kind of did lack that emotional connection other than Kana and uh, gildash's story. So, but in Tent and um, in edelis, we got so many cute little nuggets finding out so many different backstories and really connecting. Tenra was written really well.
Speaker 1:So I'll say that it's like let's just put it like this if it, if these seasons was built like a sandwich, it's like teneral island. The sandwich is not bad, but it was like missing something and then the edilis arts, where the way they had it layers, where it was almost like an art and a science to the shits, where they kind of added enough emotional payoff to where it made the whole product more memorable. It was like it's like you can't remember the taste of this sandwich more.
Speaker 2:It was like adding a little bit of pepper and a little bit of salt to your sandwich for the first time. It's like no, no.
Speaker 1:You know what it's like going to Subway and you get your sub and all that you know, with the Italian herbs and cheese, and then you get that sweet onion teriyaki. On that shit, I'm like wow.
Speaker 2:Yes, yup, and you get a little bit extra sweet onion sauce. That's me.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I love how we just compare Fairytale to a Subway sandwich.
Speaker 1:I just can't. I mean, it's packing a lot, but you know what? Let's just go ahead and close it out here. The next time we're gonna be on this, we're gonna be doing seasons 5 and 6 and we're gonna talk about the aftermath of the 7 year time skip arc, and we're gonna be talking about one aftermath of the seven year time skip arc and we're going to be talking about one of my favorite arcs of this franchise, the Magic Games. So, with that being said, we're going to go ahead and go into intermission from here.
