We Need to Talk About Nakama | Part 4 of an Overly Long Analytical Tirade on Fairy Tail

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- 2021 Addendum: The Tirade is a bad video series and you can see why this video is bad here • "I Didn't Get Anything...
Old Thoughts (as of November 2018): Who cares if not every guild member is important? Also, Elfman and Cana putting too much stock in blood family is kind of the point, since they're wrong, even if there’s still issues like with how Laxus was handled, and Fairy Tail never being punished for doing the same shit bad guys do still a fair point. I think I talk more about problems with this video in Tirade LIES ( • Overly Long Analytical... ).
Original Description: Fairy Tail is just so utterly perfect, I think. Also Mashima stop ripping of One Piece without having any idea what you're talking about or even knowing how it's done and probably not even realizing you're doing it holy shit.

*Natsu:* WE ARE THE HYPE!!
"KILL HIM" !!!!!!
I love Team Four Star references.

They are truly wonderful
DBZ Abridged will live forever in our hearts.
One Piece is a waaaaaay better example of a 'group not related by blood but sees each other as family'.
Besides Luffy and Usopp, every member of the Straw Hats were raise by non-blood families
@@halfdemonprince at first i was confused, but then i remembered that Usopp's dad was part of Shanks' crew, and Luffy told him when he met him. though technically they're still not related to blood.
@@halfdemonprince Luffy was actually raised by bandits
@@halfdemonprince Sanji and Chopper too. They weren't treated well, but they were raised by their folks.
One Piece doing something better than Fairy Tail? WHY I NEVER!!!!
I thought I knew how shit Fairy Tail was, but I never realized just how shit Fairy Tail as a guild is within it's own universe. They're a total Fairy-Sue.
It's about time someone really called out the bullshit of the Edolas arc, especially Erza's crap about how the people of Edolas will be fine without Magic. Considering Magical Energy is their ONLY known power source, losing it means that their whole society would collapse, likely permanently.
plus we are never shown Edolas again in the whole story to show that they are actually doing fine
MrMoros1 it's okay dude,they can upload funny talking cat videos to youtube and Run their economy through money from other dimensions due to monetisation of the videos.
Let's also acknowledge the sheer desperation from Fairy Tail to prevent Tartaros from removing the continent's magic.
I want to point out that in the real world we learn to adapt without something and replace it with something else. You think if all high technology stopped working the world would fail, it would go down sure but eventually it would adapt and rise up again.
Nameless Fag while yeah you are right... you have to remember that they needed to stop it otherwise the demons were going to rofl stomp everyone. But my fucking question is why the hell was such a thing built, the faces were made to be such a stupid fucking weapon it’s kinda a disgrace that that was the basis for the final.
Who the hell decides, you know wat; let’s build a weapon that’s practically indestructible, and drains magic permanently. Literally 10 percent of the population can’t live without magic otherwise they die, and society functions on it. The idea that the magic council decided to build this weapon as a deterrent was retarded. If anything they should have something like etherion but bigger, I mean how the hell do you show off a weapon as a deterrent when it only works once and the damage is permanently done. At least you can show off etherion and strike fear into people but the faces were not only a one time use, but I wonder how this would stop anyone from invading as how could the enemy know this isn’t just some bluff without showing it off.
Fairy had some small enjoyable parts but eventually it just shits that feeling of preaching “ideals of family and friendship powers” then the unfathomable power boost comes that then is treated like shit by the next enemy because “he is stronger”.
When the show becomes a mobile game where you keep taping to get gold merely to upgrade your tap to get more gold is when you know the writer should either be fired or the show taken down after the season finale.
You also should have mentioned that they cheated in the grand magic games. Two Fairy Tail teams? Mavis helping them in the last game which is against the rules? Mavis giving Cana Fairy Glitter two win the MPF game? The fact that Mavis interfered in a lot of those games as a third-party-member is against the rules and it pissed me off that it was all cool because it was Fairy Tail
Admiral
Also, Nakama power is stated to be the strongest thing in Fairy Tail, but Natsu beats Sting and Rogue alone when their friendship is stronger than his. They did a freaking Unison Raid and he pushed his partner down a mine shaft.
Not even Nakama power can excuse this bullshit.
Matthew S that shit made no sense IMO. They had a gap of 7 FUCKING YEARS!!! They should have been equally strong but Fairy Tail completely dominated. The whole arc was so bad it hurt my brain and left me with brain damage
Yeah, the fact that Fairy Tail's "friendship" is somehow superior to everyone else's friendships really rubs me the wrong way and plus, that bit of Natsu being a complete hypocrite after spouting more of his hollow, repetitive friendship speeches and then immediately and selfishly pushed Gajeel away just to hog the fight with Sting/Rogue for himself and without any hint of him being aware of the terms "irony" and "hypocrisy".
Come on, that was supposed to be a tag team match and yet he pushed his own partner away just to hog the fight for himself? Shouldn't Natsu automatically be disqualified by default? Geez, everything about what Fairy Tail tries to represent just rings hollow and fails big time!
Psychological power boosts such as friendship should never overcome Physical strength! It's ok to let them lose that makes them human after all. But Fairy Tail is literally all mighty. They're not human, their actions have no consequences and the lesson you learn is that no matter what, always trust your friends and you can achieve anything! That's way to naive! That is not how the world works!
With how Mashima just keeps making everything way too unbelievably easy for Fairy Tail to win so easily with no struggles whatsoever with nothing of consequence happening, is it any reason why this series gets criticized a lot for being the worst example of what shounen has to offer?
Also, with the way how Fairy Tail acts, it really does feel like a bad cult and the fact that they believe that they have more authority over everyone else despite how they look down on following the rules, they really aren't very good responsible heroes, aren't they?
One thing that particularly confused me during the final arc was when Mashima revealed that three major antagonists, Zeref, Irene and August, were related to FT members. Unlike with Ivan, whose assholish behavior made it very simple for Laxus to choose Fairy Tail over him despite being family, Mashima seems to want to tug on our heartstrings with these familial "bonds" despite the sentiment being completely one-sided.
Natsu never once seemed to care that he and Zeref were brothers, nor did he seem to care enough about their parents to show any interest beyond the few seconds during which he was shown what they looked like. The few times when he addresses Zeref as "Big Brother" come off as sarcastic. As soon as he's defeated Zeref, he walks out on him without a second thought.
Ezra outright states that she doesn't consider Irene family, and initially, Irene doesn't care about her either. Then we're told that Irene lied (for unspecified reasons) about the circumstances for abandoning Erza, and despite spending their entire fight spewing hatred at her and trying to kill her (nobody can tell me that she was faking it, especially after the meteor), she apparently loved Erza all along. So she kills herself to spare a daughter who still doesn't even really care about her. Erza, and the audience, are too confused to be mournful.
Mavis doesn't even learn that she's related to August. I'm still questioning when and how that even happened, partly because of Mashima's apparent aversion to drawing pregnant females (see Irene above, and the woman Jackal took hostage).
Don't forget the baffling fact that Mavis had been pregnant in the first place. Mavis had the same curse as Zeref, the more caring they are about life and loving things the more lives they take and decay. Just a mere kiss had killed Mavis (or whatever happened to make her a ghost), so how the hell did they create August?
Youlu Carcatess wait that old man was mavis son i thought it was that guy who looked like sting with a cross was her child also hes said to know every magic so he should be super op yet guildart "fights" him easily
Dongus.inc the guy with cross in his forehead was created by zeref that's why he call him father.
napolien 1 but he called Mavis 'Mother'
Dongus.inc I don't know about that but I'm sure that zeref said to him I created u, before he killed him.
August was the one who killed himself once he saw mavies and said mother, also zeref doesn't know that August his son.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Natsu 's fight against Sting and Rouge, y'know the one where he forces Gajeel, his "family", out of the match to fight alone against 2 guys who are 1. working together like long time friends do, and 2. Are fighting because they made a promise to their friends to beat Natsu, but Natsu still wins because Fairy Tail's more important than actual family...
And to be fair Gajeel has far more merit than Natsu, he actually trained and fought equally with Natsu in that fight while the latter has 2nd Origin, even his "Shadow mode" was taken from his opponent in a fight, not given like Natsu thunder mode
Natsu won because he was just that much stronger than them. Him and Gajeel were overpowering them the entire fight and when they got knocked down, it was only to analyze the twins. The entire point of the fight was to let the twins know that they're not hot shit like they thought they were. That's why Natsu won in the end.
@@TheCayDawg But Gajeel was the one who actually trained before the competition and Natsu and his team was the one to take magic equivalent steroids and still compete in the games, how is that fair?????
Sting and Rouge were to cocky for there own good. Yea Laxus was cocky but because of how power full he was he could back it up. When watching the fight for the first time I noticed both Sting and Rouge had to keep powering up through out the fight to even go toe to toe with the fairy tail dragon slayers. Natsu analysed there moves so he was able to strike back at them that's development for Natsu he's gotten a lot smarter. Like we saw last season he tells happy that he shouldn't use a lot of his magic energy and preserve it. Natsu seems to be way stronger than the twin dragons he didn't need to train. I liked that even in there dragon force forms he still beat them. It exposed sting and rouge to be a bunch of frauds lying about killing there dragons.
Now I want to see a show where the villains have the ideology of Fairy Tail
I shall try
The Phantom Troupe maybe? Idk
The Will of G to some people, Konoha can be seen as villainous
@Alvi Syahri true, since Danzo and other aren't about friendships
If there's one thing Black Clover definetely does better than its predecessor is the guild thing. The Black Bulls have a good enough number of members for us to believe how much of a tight bond they share and more importantly, for us to care about them. In fact, now that I think about it, there's many things Black Clover does better than Fairy Tail, the way magic works is explained much better, and the political system makes much more sense.
Black Clover is a better Fairy Tail, where it goes will be up to it's author.
this comment is a year ago (i mean... wow) but to say the current state of Black Clover right now, it is safe to say that Black Clover COMPLETELY destroys Fairy Tail
Oh, and the Black Bulls vs Vetto is the true example of "power of friendship" done right
I know Fairy Tail is bad but Black Clover is also pretty stupid.
@@enumaelish9193 The political institutions in Black Clover still don't make any sense to me, I mean if Julius the Clover King can literally control time and is the most op person within the Clover Kingdom why do you even need magic knight squads if the Clover King and some of the captains can handle most of the policing and protecting. An even bigger issue that I have is with the feudalism inherit in their society, as great as mana and magic is for offensive maneuvers there's so many other avenues of it that haven't even been explored yet like the unprecedented levels of technological and economic advancement that they should be experiencing.
JGHifiversveiws Idk maybe to prepare against the threats of other kingdoms, plus we saw that julius is not that op and the other groups are extremely useful and essential to the maintenance of the kingdom
This show suffers from "same face syndrome" badly.
Laffy Taffy you should see freezing the characters star looking a lot a like pretty quickly
One Piece has the same problem with its female characters.
@@halfdemonprince around 70% of the females do. Not all.
That is actually the least of Fairy Tail its problems
A-1 pictures are the epitome of 'same face syndrome'
How to do the Fairy Tail Guild right guide :
Step 1: do the Whitebeard Pirates
Prince of Cannock no- dont have the main character scream FRIENDSHIP at the end of every battle
It has always been strange for me that no matter how much you hurt the guild, if you join, you will be fully forgiven (as long you don't kill someone). Torturing members of the organisation? Distroying the headquarters? Trying to destroy Fairly Tail? Doesn't matter because now you have a tattoo
i think macarov knew gajeel wasnt going to have a good life being by himself, you know the fact that macarov had a chance to save a dope character from being forgotten
Fairy Tail is so awful narratively it hurts me... Ouch. There was one point when I enjoyed the early parts of fairy tail...
I clicked so fucking fast at fairy tail bashing.
Edit: The final talk made me think Fairy tail (the guild) is kind of like Kirito
My Hero Academia did this a lot better. I know, SHOCKING.
Every character in Class 1-A is fleshed out, all of them get to do something, all of them get the spotlight they deserve and all of them are memorable. Because of this, the show makes you want to be in a class like this with people like them.
Not really. Class 1A is much smaller cast of characters, even in universe the chracters acknowledge that some of them aren't as important as some main characters and are not trying to be, and friendship isn't the point of MHA.
Assassination classroom did too
@squelette fainéants Agreed. One of Fairy Tail's stumbles is this deal where the moment you join, everybody treats you like a long lost relative. You don't grow into relationships, you instantly are accepted and everybody's friend, making it feel artificial.
I think one of the issues in Fairy Tail is that it doesn't really explain the actions of a lot of its main cast and often excuses them for what are arguably horrible things simply because they are "family". It kinda shows how, when you really look at it, the Fairy Tail guild can actually be pretty selfish and puts their own feelings people above the well-being of others.
Remember when Laxus tried to murder a whole town with Fairy Law? It was heavily implied that that's what would've happened if it had activated, and yet despite that, he was allowed back into the guild because he did one good thing later in the series. And yes, I know that the reason the spell didn't work was because deep down he didn't want to hurt his friends or some bullshit. But that's actually irrelevant because 1.) Laxus had no idea that the spell would fail and was genuinely shocked when it did and 2.) what you feel "deep down" does not matter, it is your actions that matter. At the end of the day, Laxus tried to murder all his friends and potentially a few innocent people because... Makarov kicked his dad out of the guild? It's not the only example of how even examining these character's and their motivations just a LITTLE bit can lead to you realizing that these guys are shitty people.
You're absolutely right. The fact that Laxus only got a slap on the wrist for attempted mass murder almost made me drop Fairy Tail then and there (I did eventually drop it after Edolas as I reached my limit of bullshit I could stomach). Hiro Mashima simply cannot write consequences for the members of Fairy Tail in any way no matter what they do.
Another thing to add was if the guild members hadn't taken down Thunder Palace, that spell would've nuked the town regardless of what Laxus "felt".
wasnt laxus only using fairy law to flex his power and defeat natsu and gajeel only?
Whenever I watch a show that isn't very good I always focus on the good. Fairy Tale nearly exhausted that strategy and these videos made most of the good parts that I found irrelevant.
Thank You for your service. I greatly appreciate it
Youre seriously killing it with these vids my guy. They are very well done and you give great points that I havent even seen people bring up when discussing Fairy Tail. Glad to know im not the only one that got annoyed with a lot of the stuff you have discussed so far.
Keep it up!
I never notice it but, I see now that Fairy Tail has always been shit. Thank you for opening my eyes.
Nah I like fairy tale when I was like grade 5 to 2nd year highschool but as I started to grow up and look how the world works and watch many anime fairy tale is shit
Nakama?? So naive
The more I think about Lucy's character and background story, the more I got reminded of James from Team Rocket on the Pokemon series, Fairy Tail for her is probably like Team Rocket for James, despite the terrible reputation from both organizations, they offer temporary retreats in the form of adventures. Watching this I can confirm that James is Lucy done right. If only there are more moments where Lucy needs to say farewell to her celestial spirits permanently like James did with his pokemons, I genuinely think that Lucy could be at least as good as a character as James.
I'm guessing this part will be about the infamous "friendship" aspect of Fairy Tail I keep talking about. From the words of others friendship solves everything, but I guess it hurts character motivations as well from your words here.
An easy fix would be downsizing the guild. Less members means more fleshing out of certain characters and having more focus. Fairy Tail caused MORE destruction than The Strawhats and they are being kept in check for their actions. Fairy Tail just gets away with anything being above the law. If there was a law. They achieved their goal in the end and became the authority of the entire world because they answer to no one.
Black clover
One thing that always annoyed me about Fairy tail was how they just let some "reformed" villian join the guild just like that without thought. Even then they end up a useless background character.
I'm usually able to sympathize with the antagonists, no matter how messed up their goals are, solely based on their pasts. I'm not saying what they have done is right, but I like knowing that they had a reason. Fairy Tail doesn't really offer much backstory for most antagonists, and it really annoys me .
Phantom Lord: hurts three of the FT members.
Fairy Tail: YOU HAVE CHOSEN DEATH
-
Laxus and his squad: damages their HQ, hurts a shit ton of FT members with one situation that almost turns into murder, and forces one to fight against another, and decides to damage the entire city and possibly hurt/kill innocent civilians.
Fairy Tail: slap on their wrist, with everyone on the guild bitching that Laxus was kicked off.
-
Hipocrisy at it's finest. I won't even mention Mirajane talking to Fried in tears after he almost killed her brother, or Laxus' Fairy Law not working. That shit was just an insult to my intelligence.
I have never seen FT but I love these videos.
UnstopablePatrik
u should watch it its not as bad as people make it out to be it has flaws but its very enjoyable
Daniel Armorer this guy is literally pulling this entire series apart piece bye piece and yet you would still recommend someone waste their time on this inconsistent mess of an anime rather than recommend something better. You must be deaf because this guy is pointing out almost every reason not to watch and or re-watch this garbage.
UnstopablePatrik I don't know if I still like FT cause it feels nostalgic and I started it on my early teen years, but I would honestly recommend it if you're just trying to chill and watch an enjoyable series, while I know its flaws and how bad can be sometimes, it can be acceptable if you give it a shot and don't have high expectations of it.
Tried to watch it once, don't think I made it half way through episode 1. Glad to see my suspicions confirmed.
CrazyLikeUhFox Did it harm you?
Gildartz? More like Shanks aM I RIGHT
Yup
Dont compare him and Shankz, shanks is immeasurable
and since when does luffy and shanks spend time
I get too much enjoyment from these videos considering I've never watched Fairy Tail.
Regarding Levy as a background character then crucifying her like we’re supposed to care, she should have been in the Daybreak Arc to establish a friendship with Lucy. Maybe even switch her with Natsu completely to give her and Lucy a larger bond. Even Jet and Droy could have done some things there.
Warren (And I think even Max) has very useful powers that could have easily helped out in multiple occasions. Warren would make a good way for the members to obtain information when one finds out something important, and he even can use his powers to trick the enemies with thoughts.
And Erza literally falls in love with the person who betrayed her and who was a literal slave master. Like cmon
You know, watching this video has just given me something to contemplate: what is the difference between Fairy Tail and the Whitebeard Pirates that makes the former pretentious and the latter enduring? Both are run by old guys voiced by R Bruce Elliot who position themselves as a surrogate father to their groups, both are run with the mentality of a family over all else, and yet as said in the video, both are too large in membership for everybody in the group to be a significant family member. So what's the difference between the two?
Good reasoning. Keep up the good work, I love these videos.
I'd say the difference is that not everyone in the whitebeard pirates knows everyone in the whitebeard pirates. In the whitebeard pirates, they are all adults who are willing to kill and sacrifice each other; hence being part of a pirate crew. They will fight for each other but don't expect to win based on friendship because, as we saw in marineford, nakama bullshit doesn't work. The endearing thing about the whitebeard pirates is that not all of them are important or have a big role and it's understandable that not everyone knows everyone. In Fairy Tail, it's implied everyone knows everyone but we only know 20 ish characters out of 100s when every one of those characters act like they know the others inside and out; it's especially pretentious when you consider that these other mages must be on missions too.
Simple. Cause Fairy Tail can get away with Bullshit with no consequences also pull a rabbit out of a hat during conflicts to get the upperhand in every situation. The WhiteBeard pirates are endearing because they acknowledged real world problems and know that logic is also needed to win. Even if a situation seemed hopeless they would fight to their last breath with their brothers. Showing a certain military brotherhood as well as family bonds. Also they are portrated not to be invincible on several occasion and can lose momentum in dire situations. As evident of Luffy's pivotal role of being a beacon of hope for them in that Marineford war several times. They understand and accept the possibility of casualties in war but will gladly still fight for their brother. Fairy Tail on the other hand gets out with no scratches and no real sense of duty compared to the WhiteBeard pirates.
The difference is the Whitebeard Pirates aren’t the main characters of One Piece, the Straw Hats are. Therefore they can get away with emphasizing the idea of “family is more than blood” without showing it in full detail. Despite not being the main crew, the show still uses clever techniques to show the audience why the Whitebeard Pirates are a family. One tactic was Ace, who was the ambassador of the Whitebeard pirates for the audience. During the Marineford Arc we got to see a flashback of how he met Whitebeard and become is surrogate son, the watch him bond with the other members of the crew. When Ace asked Marco why everyone calls Whitebeard “pops,” he said it’s because he calls them sons, and since they're all criminals with nowhere else to go they all feel at home with Whitebeard on his ship. When Sengoku asked Ace to reveal his father’s identity and he answered, “My father is Whitebeard,” then immediately disowned his biological father. When Whitebeard and his crew came to Ace’s aid, he cried and begged them to retreat and let him to die so they wouldn’t have to. Ace was willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of his family, and the Whitebeard Pirates we ready to die in combat to rescue him from the strongest military force in the world. The second tactic was showing Whitebeard’s feelings and reactions towards his sons. In episode 316, Shanks tells Whitebeard to stop Ace from pursuing Teach. Whitebeard refuses and tells Shanks that the one rule that no one can ever break is killing one of his sons, which is what Teach did. Even though Whitebeard initially warned Ace that chasing Teach could be problematic, he didn’t stop him because he and Ace shared the same feelings of rage and anguish and felt that this was the only way to avenge their family member. We got to see those feeling again when Whitebeard ordered his crew to take Ace and leave while he stayed behind to fight the Navy because he couldn’t take watching his sons die anymore. Even when one of his former crew mates, Squard, stabs him in the chest he still hugged and forgave him because he knew he couldn’t have possibly done it without because tricked by an outside force and he still loved him. The final blow was a flashback showing Whitebeard is his younger years with one of his crew mates asking him why he didn’t want any treasure, and responds with, “There’s only one thing I really want, I want a family.” That was all the proof we needed to understand how the Whitebeard Pirates were a real family.
The Whitebeard Pirates are not the main characters of One Piece, so this is not a good comparison.
You know, if Fairy Tail was intended as a parody like One Punch Man, it might be more enjoyable. However, as these videos show the many problems with the plot and characters, I'm not exactly sure that would be the case either.
I think it would work better as a jrpg.
The fucking nakama bullshit power-ups is what really killed Fairy Tail for me. Just because you have friends and you want to protect them will not and must not guarantee you the win! For example look at the nakama bullshit with Erza(0:16) Azuma had her beat and then out of nowhere "Oh I have my nakama behind me, friendship slash! WIN!". This has to be a fucking joke no way is this serious! And yet it is. And to think I actually liked Erza in the beginning, believing her to be a role model for females everywhere. Hiro Mashima you disappointed all of us.
IncinerateAnthem Also never forget the fact that the dragon dlayers being trapped by Acnologia himself qnd then Wendy suddenly freeing herself cause "I heard Carla's voice".
FUCKING BULLSHIT
Mily Wolfheart Oh god you're talking about the final fight right. That was straight garbage.
You know, coming to the Tartaros rc, you realize how hypocritical the magic issue with Edolas was. Jelall banishes magic in Edolas? Had to be done. Right thing to do. People are going to suffer, but everything will be okay because humans will survive.
Mard Geer banishing magic in their world with FACE? Aw hell no, this is the worst thing EVER! Civilization's crumbling before our eyes!
You've made a good point about Edolas. It's a topic that was just too deep and serious to be handled properly in such a light and joyful series that wants to cover any evils with the championing of friendship and love.
1) The main difference is that while in Edolas everything remains without magical power at Earth-Land Tartaros and all the other demons of Zeref would still have access to the Curses and no one could stop them anymore
2) The wizards of Earthland would suffer from Hypomagia and end up in very serious physical conditions that would lead to the death of all wizards on the continent
3) The magic at Edolas was already coming to an end and the only way to supply their world was to turn the inhabitants of Earthland into Lacryma by kidnapping and killing them, indeed that choosing this way Mystogan preferred to have Edolas adapt to a world without magic, Earthland has never been this problem and therefore there is no need to deprive him of magic
4) Without magic they could not defend themselves from the Empire of Alvarez and Zeref's plan would have been completed
THANK YOU I always thought something was seriously off about Levy’s and Lucy’s relation
I never noticed this when I was watching the anime but when you point it out it seems obvious. It felt like I was constantly waiting for a meaningful conflict to come along and for the story to finally go somewhere but it never did. By the time the Edolas arc rolled in, I realised that I didn't care anymore and I dropped the series. Looking back on it, it's all sort of hollow. None of the characters have concrete goals (unless you count 'protect my friends with my life!', which is... kind of a motivation?). Stuff happens, but it never feels like the story is moving forward. And frankly, the concept of unconditional love and acceptance is nice but in action it's really quite boring.
This video series is honestly everything i could have ever wanted just so you know? I love this drag through the mud you're dishing out
Your video is pretty much spot on. As soon as I was coming into reality about Fairy Tail, I get this “as-long-as-it’s-Natsu-or-Erza-approved,-everybody-should-just-be-happy-and-go-along-with-it. No-questions-asked” kind of vibe. SMH
But hey, that’s just my opinion, nothing else.
Hiro Mashima should go back to Rave Master, Fairy Tail had potential, but failed in the end.
no, he should just stop
I like to think he made Fairy Tail as just one giant joke. He would be the greatest troll in the world.
He should start working on a new Rave Master anime
he should combinde the two in one universe
He did, there is official crossover between Rave and FT
Awesome stuff as always! Excited to see your channel grow!
I absolutely love your videos. I do wish you had some better audio equipment. Regardless, keep it up I'd love to see your channel grow.
GrummelNet he also speaks a little too fast and slurs some words because of it. Also love his analysis
I hate how Levy looks after the time skip. She looked older and more mature. Now she looks like a child
Fairy Tail is the Teen Titans Go of anime
Turtle Boy correction sao
Then that makes one piece teen titans

Thanks
Haha... carnival phatasm.😂
Yeah, the Fairy Tail guild is a dark guild in all but name.
You should do a video on the problem with not killing characters in this series.
At least Black Clover does better with guilds as symbol for family from what I’ve heard.
speedshoes29 believe me you should at least try Black Clover at least once
"In what fucking way?!"
Could listen to that line forever.
I'm just watching FairyTail Fans get triggered in the comments. Guys, calm down. Even I love this video and I love fairytail. Don't get pissy. Hes making a good point
Lets not forget the fact Laxus still set up Bombs to blow up the entire city rendering the whole point of Fairy Law not working mute cause THE FUCKING BOMBS WOULD STILL WORK
I don't read FT, but I wanted to give it a shot, so that's why I'm here.
At 2:24 though, were those people really just staring at the 3 hanging from the tree? Instead, you know, taking them to hospital immediately? Even if they weren't sure they were dead or alive?
I still liked Fairy Tail even with all the bullshit. Well towards the end it got a bit hard to like it though.
DBZ actually suffers from the same issue of a lack of consequences as well.
Your podcast link at the end is one that starts people off in the middle of it. Not a major annoyance, but I figured it'd be worth pointing out.
Fairy Tail: We decided that these characters suddenly have a relationship for some reason, boy, we should've planned that out better. We should add some shitty backstory to try and cover it up!
One Piece: You know that character that we mentioned in chapter 90? Here, this is what he looks like in chapter 900.
tbh One Piece does it too, for example Luffy and Bon Clay, their is no real reason why Bon Clay likes Luffy, and the only reason Luffy likes him is because he saved the straw hats once, but for some reason he goes out of his way to sacrifice himself for Luffy and the Strawhats not once but twice because of a Friendship that is not really well established.
I agree with this statement, and I was trying to highlight Oda's ability to mention a character in one sector of the story, and then fully introduce the character, adding backstory and the like later on. Personally, I could never do this. I'd most likely retcon or discard that character, as seeing them as unsatisfactory, or out of place. One Piece is not a perfect series, and that should be acknowledged. There are many things that the reader still doesn't know, and aspects that seem to have been forgotten, or like the Bon Clay situation, are poorly established and explained. I think that most people feel that the time Bon Clay and Luffy have spent in Impel Down is reason enough for Bon Clay to sacrifice himself during the end of the Impel Down Arc. He may also have wanted to save the many other people that were present during the end of the arc, such as his former boss, Crocodile, former acquaintances, Mr. 1 and Mr. 3, as well as Emporio Ivankov and his/her allies, which he had specifically aimed to free after his escape. These are also people that are heading to Marineford to participate in the Paramount War, which, depending on Bon clay's stance on the issue, may have been another viable reason to sacrifice himself. Also I just really don't like Fairy Tail.
Yeah I understand, i was pointing out the character flaws in both series. I was also recently watching Impel Down, and for me the Bon Clay friendship with Luffy was really rushed, and based off that simple meeting back on the Straw hats ship their friends. Not to mention Bon Clay is still alive according to a cover story and in charge of level 5.5. I personally like Fairy Tail, its not my favorite, but certain things don't bother me to the extent they do others, I do acknowledge the problems are their but for me its mainly Fairy Tail has problem with executing certain things, compared to One Piece which is my favorite. I also think people nitpick Fairy Tail for Shonen tropes that are in all Shonen series. .
I actually like Fairy Tail, despite it's flaws. Which I know all of, I just find the show way too addictive haha.
But I do love this series. Always enjoy watching people speak their mind of something they don't like
The 12 Spriggan disappointed me like bleach’s Stern Ritter
So glad I found you
Please make this same video but when done right like in One Piece
In retrospect, fairy tail would have been better if the guild was smaller.
Mashima is probably a terrible parent, considering he can't bring himself to punish anyone.
I once watched 10+ episodes of fairy tale. Couldn’t force myself to watch more after natsuś fight with the first real villain. Just too much bullshit about friendship. Seriously...one piece is a show with a really simple execution and bad animation especially nowadays. But FT ...is just bad and boring with tits.
Remember that time when mocarov was a perv at the start and then went on to act like a father figure after. That's kinda disturbing.
Not bad, but you seem to be confusing unconditional love with fanatical affection. If you deeply and truly love someone, then, if they do something bad you either punish them for that action or attempt to correct them (because you care enough about them to love them). While a mere fanatical affection (like nearly all of the people into Idol culture) it doesn't matter what that someone does so long as they are in your arbitrary liking (like being in Markarovs guild rather than anyone elses).
I have a question, what would have happened if one member aka Lucy would have been an assassin who killed many and Phantom lord came to kill her?
My guess would be that they would still safe her and still let her be part of the family, it is what I call bad. I mean we don't even know the reason why she wanted to go to fairy tail , we don't even know how her Family became rich in the first place. I mean just look at her father and don't tell me that he did things wrong.
Hiro Mashima let's Natsu , Gray, Erza and Wendy have a whole few episodes of there past while Lucy only gets a few minutes. Bad writing of my favorite character over 9000, (sorry just had to)
In the new manga, Jellal showed up to arrest a chick he suspected of being a Zeref-level mage. Team Natsu were not there at the time. Unfortunately, the girl joined fairy tail yesterday, so it seemed the guild was prepared to fight him over the random girl. Which made it funnier when she revealed an evil personality and possessed everyone. And don't even get me started on the ghost dragon slayer.
Um, just so you know? One Piece fans out there? I get it. The foundation is solid unlike Fairy Tail. There were some inspirations from the One Piece manga Hiro Mashima used to make Fairy Tail as well. Plus there's a lot of asspulls made on the alvarez arc that made me, a fairy tail fan, couldn't help but cringe on the outcome of the story....But if there's one thing I've learned from Fairy tail in real life.. It's about being a music lover. Yes. It has nothing to do with plot or friendship or fanservice. It's all about music. And I started to love music more because of fairy tail. The ones that got me on the feels are the sad
fairy tail music. It made me cry. It helped me alleviate some of my stress a bit. The emotion of the song is "there" whenever I hear it. And that's pretty much why I'm still on this series....because of the music they used. xD
While I hate Fairy Tail with a burning passion, I'm big enough to admit that you're right; the soundtrack in the show is good, although that has nothing to do with the writing.
What if we don’t have any family....
Just to let you know there was a filler episode where Natsu and the gang went back in time and Lucy saved herself with her younger self only seeing the fairy tail crest of her savor. This was implied to be the reason she was so obsessed with fairy tail
>filler
Was hoping for more comparisons to One Piece based on me associating the word "nakama" with the straw hats. Slightly disappointed, still a good video though.
These vids are amazing ☠💀
Fairy Tail is a fucking stupid name, "Bleach" barely makes sense but at least it sounds cool
Late to the Party here but when I was young I remember Gajeel was the one who crucified Levi and friends. After that Arc Gajeel easily becomes part of the guild despite that. He had this awkward relationship with Levi and eventually hints at being Romantic. Always thought that was incredibly disgusting even back then. How I met your mother? I beat her and her friends and crucified them to a tree.
You mention Laxus Arc which I actually remembered really enjoying. Now the context of Laxus throwing a Tantrum because of Bloodline is really dumb. What did he want in the first place to make his own guild? He wouldve been guildmaster either way. Did he want to destroy Fairy Tail? In the end deep down he loved Fairy Tail so what gives. If theyre supposed to be family why hurt them in the first place? Why ask Mirajane a Family member to Strip for his pleasure. Thats just fucked up. Why threaten innocents? He shouldve rot in jail for that.
The whole were still family in the end with the finger pointing up seem sweet and great closer to the arc until you remember that he was a piece of shit also the fact that it just rips off Vivi’s farewell in One Piece. God Fairy Tail was never good lol.
I actually think he redeems himself of that when, after a stark reminder of what he did, namely Sabertooth getting crucified, Gajeel almost killed himself to save everyone from a demon. Too bad it came literally at the end of the story after the two had been dating for a year.
The only reason Freed lost to Mirajane was because he didn't want to win hard enough.
Warren could potentially be the most terrifying mage of Fairy Tail. The dude could scramble your brain until you don't even recognize yourself anymore. In a large scale war he could provide instantaneous communication between all battle groups giving them a huge tactical advantage. Instead he gets upstaged by some random mage from Blue Pegasus who can do exactly what he can excepte his magic also does shit ton other stuff.
Whats the difference between a fellow nakama and a fellow gang member? Same shit, just sugarcoated
Yet in a sequel manga we have got Natsu and Erza getting their butts kicked 3 times within 70 chapters.
Fairy tail is chess board story telling Character goes here character goes there anything to get us to the next fight as fast as possible with no slower moments to flush out the characters it's okay to have simple characters. As long as you flush them out because despite what Mashima might thing Simple does not mean mindless like Natsu is, If there was a scene were we at least see Elfman Consider the possibility of him delivering the bomb go back and forth.
A bit and eventually refuse and try's to save his sister with his own power because the family he's made through connection's mean just as much as the Family who is his blood. And he'd rather fight to protect them even if he can't win would Actually flush him out Simply because it shows that he has thought he has doubts these decisions aren't always second nature
Whoo may the hate train never end !
you forgot the sexual assault
God died when Fairy Tail was made.
2:55 isnt that guy from one piece in the background
well natsu wants to keep his guild alive which is why he kicks soo much ass, compared to phantom lord, grimwarheart, and tartarose dieing because of them losing
You deserve a TH-cam award
4:47 why are his tears going up
The insistence to eqate everything to the collective, that Erza shows, is probably because Mashima is Japanese and they are a collective society.
In Mashima's eyes Knightwalker truly was in the wrong.
The first talk had the same symptons as neji's death
So I'm aware I may be a rare anomaly here, but I love Fairy Tail?? Yes i can understand how you hate it and sometimes the weird "oh that climax wasn't actually the climax because it was a lie suffer for another 20 years" can be annoying and how everything doesn't really make sense, plot armour, nakama bullshit etc. But idk i don't notice a lot of the more complicated things you've pointed out in your videos cuz I'm dumb and i actually enjoy the hype fights and it makes just enough sense to carry a plot?
But i also believed Jellal when he said he had a fiance so..
Many of the scenes in Fairy Tail are well executed. Mashima does understand how to draw a good scene. The comic is good at being dumb fun.
It just does not hold up if you look any closer. Kind of like the new Star Wars movies.
Yea that's what I kinda meant thankyou!!!!!
Schwarzer Ritter "Mashima does understand how to draw a good scene" Care to elaborate? I was trying to finish the manga as fast as I could, so I didn't really have time to think about stuff like paneling.
I am not talking about paneling. What I mean is that the scenes are drawn and written in a way so that you think there is more going on than it is. Link when Natsu fights the final boss of the arc. He is too weak, eats some magic, which gives him the powerup he needs to win. A powerful scene, but it does not make sense in context, because it was established he can not do that.
Or when Erza fights someone, another swordmage, I think. She is not strong enough to land a hit, so takes her armour off, because it was like a crutch holding her back, or something. A powerful scene, because it sacrifices defense for offense. Except it does not make sense in context, because her armour is enchanted and increases her attack power as well. It would be like Spiderman is loosing a fight, so he throws away his webshooters and wins.
Schwarzer Ritter Oh, yeah, I see what you mean. I think Craftsdwarf also said this in one of his videos.
Ill start properly at part 1 but hi, I came over from you know where
Fairy tail - the power of friendship and hentai can defeat all villian in ft 😂😂 .. Haha . totally trash right ..
Sigh... I don't really see how Fairy Tail is "ripping off" One Piece - the character designs aren't in any way similar.
Except Shanks and Gildarts.
You can rip off a lot more than visuals.
You talking shit about Friendship?
there is later a story why she wants to join fairy tail
At least these kind a poor shounen writters would work as example for future great writers hoping that they would not do something so lame like this
I'm seriously thinking about re-reading AND re-watching all of Fairy tail so I can study it and learn as much as possible from it. I feel like I'm already good enough writer to know what's good so watching good shows doesn't really give me that much anymore at least in the regard of learning about writing. Bad shows might have lot more to offer in a way.
Also, Mashima is legit good in creating hype, it's just that he never goes through with it.
i love Levi
I love you
Natsu is just a rip off of Luffy, Goku, and Naruto.
It's honestly worse than that. The guy is literally just shonen protagonist, while also missing everything that makes other shonen protagonists entertaining and memorable in the first place
Fairy tail became such a flop which sucks cause it had so much potential never seen a anime nose dive this hard not even bleach this is bullshit
what happened to part 3?
i always knew FT was shit.
I m not big fan of FT but you miss they episode where u know why Lucy wanted to join FT... It bcz she was saved by herself when she was child... And she start dreaming about FT from that days... U should watch anime more carefully before stating thing... U said many things right ... But still with some mistake
The episode You're talking about is filler and not included in the manga.
