Explosion and Expulsion

fairy tail (episode 48, chapters 107-128)

i've been following this ongoing cartoon series called fairy tail. it's about wizard guilds whose members take missions to generate money from. of all the groups formed, this guild is a noisy one. they tend to end the day with fighting each other and all. 4 main characters are lucy (the newbie who has the power to open celestial gates and call forth the zodiac spirits), natsu (the fire dragonslayer who has a flying cat named happy), gray (the ice wizard who loses his clothes everytime) and the strongest of them all, ezra (who gets the name titania who has the power to transform her clothes into armors equipped with swords).

anyway, this week's episode has tackled issues that i really want to blog about.  the guilds members are put to a test as the master's grandson forced them to fight each other. those who win will get to battle against him and be chosen to be part of the new fairy tail guild, the grandson plans to build. luxus, the grandson, had placed electric bombs up in the air around the town they all are which will detonate in a given time. almost out of luck, ezra tried to focus her powers against these summoning swords at many as she can. 198, 199, 200, she's at her limit. just in time before the members finally realized that they need to work with each other rather than fall into what luxus wants them to do. thanks to the telepath, they were able to sort out their mistakes and even though one felt betrayed against another, they all agreed to focus their powers against the bombs to save everyone. it's just that they'll get electrified.

and so they did...

what a guild.

this made luxus so mad that he had to burst everything out to natsu who was then fighting him. electricity versus fire. a metal dragonslayer joined in the battle to help natsu but were surprised to see how powerful laxus truely is.

luxus finally summoned his most powerful attack, the fairy law and with a blink of an eye, everyone is consumed by an all powerful light. like an atomic bomb just dropped in front of you.

but to everyone's surprise, everyone's alive. even the spellcaster was confused how come the all powerful attack didn't work. it was then said that such power only works how his heart sees it. he may seem full of hate but deep inside, he loves everyone in fairy tail. that enough kept them all alive.

and so, he was defeated.

people in that town, who witnessed everything, thought everyone was just a game that fairy tail plays and were looking forward to tonight's program which is a grand parade starring all of the wizards.

except for natsu who needs time to heal.

laxus accepting defeat went back to the guild to talk to his grandfather who just recovered from a near fatal incident. his grandfather explained to him what the guild is all about - an agency for missions, a place for comrades, a home for the homeless.

and these people don't belong to anybody, especially him as the guild is built from the trust and honor of each other.

which laxus violated as he had put everyone's lives in danger and breaking their trusts. therefore,

a lesson learned the hard way.

that night, members celebrated fantasia they way they do. showing off their powers to the public as they march to the streets as the crowd cheers grow wilder. fireworks everywhere.

luxus before leaving the town, caught the event smiling how fun it really is to be a fairy tail member which he failed to recognize early on. he was so bent on becoming stronger that he overlooked what made the guild special in the first place.

a thought came to mind...

see what happens if you grow up and be the bad boy. geez.

so laxus, finally turns his back and is about to leave when suddenly, everyone is amazed by what the master had done as everyone else followed.

i'm always watching you....
