Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Cour 01
フェアリーテイル 100年クエスト
Since Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest simply did a recap episode, marking the tip of the primary cour (on this case, the summer season season of 2024), I figured I’d give a evaluation of what we’ve seen to this point.
The Story, Thus Far
Natsu, Erza, Lucy, Joyful, Wendy, Charle (Carla), and Grey determine to do the “unattainable” 100 Years Quest. They meet up with a former human turned dragon named Elefseria, who established the search 100 years earlier. He desires them to defeat 5 dragon gods who’re as highly effective or greater than the dragon Acnologia, whom Fairy Tail defeated earlier.
In the meantime again at Fairy Tail, a brand new member named Touka joins. She appears to be in love with “Natsu-sama”. Nevertheless, Jellal suspects she’s the damaging White Mage. Throughout the ocean, Crew Natsu take care of the Water Dragon god. On the similar time, they’re compelled to take care of a mage guild known as Diabolos. Its members are dragon eaters, gaining the powers of the dragons they devour. Additional, its members at instances are extra highly effective than Crew Natsu.
After efficiently coping with the Water Dragon god, Crew Natsu head off to take care of the Earth Dragon god. After studying the stunning reality in regards to the Earth Dragon god, Crew Natsu all of a sudden discover themselves dealing with their guildmates. Plainly Touka immediately enthralled them to take care of the dragon gods. Nevertheless, she’s doing it for different causes, seemingly needing to regulate mages.
On the similar time, Diabolos re-enters the frey. Juvia involves herself, explaining that Touka is possessed by the White Mage. Cana reveals up, not beneath hypnotism due to the booze in her system. Now Crew Natsu need to battle their former teammates and Diabolos whereas coping with the Earth Dragon god.
Principally Typical Fairy Tail Fare
In the event you learn the unique Fairy Tail manga, or noticed the anime adaptation and loved them, little question you’ll get pleasure from Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest cour 01. The method continues to be just about the identical. Natsu is powerful however dumb and desires to beat entities up. Lucy has “enormous tracks of land” that will get emphasised, whereas she often modifications “powered” costumes. Wendy continues to be the staff buffer. Grey desires to be worthy of Juvia, however continues to be a bit dumb at instances. Erza is Erza. And the cats are the cats.
I feel my first difficulty with this sequence is the precise quest. Gildarts from Fairy Tail tried it. Within the OG Fairy Tail sequence, the search appeared to be about Acnologia. Nevertheless, with a view to get the recon in, the precise 100 Years Quest got here with a non-disclosure settlement (NDA), so Gildarts couldn’t inform them what the REAL quest was about. It’s garbage, however oh nicely.
Crew Natsu take care of the Water Dragon god pretty simply, due to a deus ex machina second that I gained’t spoil right here. (You possibly can learn the episode opinions to study extra.) I’m not a fan of this sort of “get out of jail free” writing. Crew Natsu’s coping with the Earth Dragon god has been extra sophisticated. We’ll see how that will get resolved within the subsequent cour.
Diabolos
Most likely the one distinctive factor about Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest cour 01 is Diabolos. Positive, Fairy Tail has handled robust guilds up to now. The members of Fairy Tail, typically using “Nakama Energy™”, rise to the event within the guild struggle. After defeating the opposite guild, the 2 guilds turn out to be allies. Certainly, we’ve seen cameos from beforehand defeated enemies on this new anime.
That apart, Fairy Tail hasn’t had a guild struggle with Diabolos. As an alternative, they’ve had skirmishes. The preliminary three members of Diabolos we see simply defeat Crew Natsu, though Natsu and pals defeated Acnologia and Zeref. Nevertheless, when the plot required it, Crew Natsu then simply defeat Crew Skullion. The Diabolos members retreat.
Ah, however then they return, once more ’trigger “plot”. Crew Skullion usher in two extra members, however now need to take care of extra Fairy Tail members. Once more, the plot requires Skullion and Madmole to be OP, stopping the OP Mirajane from doing something. The one combat of curiosity was Laxus battling the insane Kiria, who turned smitten with Laxus after taking a beating from him.
The top of the primary cour sees Wraith killed. Kiria was defeated, however since Laxus used up his energy defeating Erza, Kiria is poised to devour him. Clearly, Mashima-sensei isn’t going to permit that to occur. I’d snort if Diabolos retreats once more.
Remaining Ideas and Conclusion
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest cour 01 is okay for what it’s. We’ve got the everyday, shounen battles executed Fairy Tail fashion. We get the standard fanservice and ecchi gags. And whereas there’s a variety of stupidity, and an effort to keep up the established order for probably the most half, there’s nonetheless a stage of enjoyable and leisure. Thus I’ll watch the second cour when it drops.
