How many stellar mages can even be left out there? All the gold keys are pretty mcuh accounted for. What would everyone else be using?

The other keys? I mean, the gold keys are the special keys, but it is not like there aren't other spirits out there as shown by some of the regular keys Lucy has.

I can't help but think that there are keys for the Chinese Zodiac as well.

There are other non-Zodiac constellations that can be used for keys. I mean, sure, we might never see them because they'd be low-level compared to Lucy and the others we've seen who had the golden keys.

I could be okay with that if it wasn't so obvious that entire purpose to her existence will be to make Erza look good. I mean really.

And then there's the matter of execution. Her one-shotting the 13th spirit would be more impressive if it wasn't first introduced two pages before getting owned. It's lazy writing like that which makes FT flop so often.

OR

It's building up an opponent for Erza later in the chapter, and yes, I suppose she will look good when she defeats her because that's usually what happens when a protagonist overcomes a challenge.

Lucy is already going to be a part of something big this arc. We don't know just what yet, but I'm sure it will give her a chance to shine. Besides, her and the other stellar mage can still face off and have it be a win for her. It's not like Lucy is on Erza's level.

It's not like Lucy is on Erza's level.

If Lucy fought smarter, she would be the strongest in the guild. Gemini, for example, represents true story-breaker power.

[Megadoomer]

Wasn't it established that Gemini has limitations, though? The transformation only lasts five minutes, and it established in this arc that they can't copy someone who's extremely powerful (like, say, Makarov, Erza, or Laxus).

Hmm, Levy's words in ch.272 are "It can only copy people with magic power near itself, I heard." And presumably its magic power scales with its owner's.

Interesting chapter.

-Considering Lucy has most of the golden keys by now, she may be the most powerful stellar mage around. But who knows.

Not much to say but to just wait for things to roll out. And it's nice to see that Mermaid Heel has some powerful characters as well.

[Sound Silence]

Anyone else notice how Raven Tail and Sabertooth both have only a single female member on their team, and that member seems to be bullied by the others (and in Corona's case, physically abused)?

With Yukino it wasn't overt, but the way Sting was talking to her, it kind of seemed like she had a sword hanging over her head.

I didn't get the feeling she was getting bullied by Sabertooth at all.

It's never been about how many keys the mage has. It's about how she or he uses them and how strong their own magic is, Lucy said pretty early on that the stronger her magical power is the stronger her spirits are.

I didn't get the feeling she was getting bullied by Sabertooth at all.

Me neither.

I got the feeling that Sting was reminding Yukino, who seems to be a new member of the guild, that they have a reputation to uphold, hoping that she could make up for his screw-up.

Yes. There's a crass joke in there somewhere.

[Sound Silence]

I got the feeling that Sting was reminding Yukino, who seems to be a new member of the guild, that they have a reputation to uphold, hoping that she could make up for his screw-up.

I guess I got that vibe because of the way Sting brushed off his own failure and the others didn't seem too worried by it, but then Sting turned around and what he said to Yukino felt like there was implied threat that if she lost she'd be ditched.

Maybe I was just reading way too much into that scene though. I guess we'll see.

[Ragnorok64]

So, considering that Lucy always acquires the new keys that show up in every arc and that this plan needs a stellar mage as a sacrifice, and Lucy is a mains character I have to wonder what Yukino's chances of survival are.

...Pretty good considering Kagura's claimed her life There's potential for a good scene here, depending on Sabertooth's exact dick levels.

Yeah I'm pretty sure we'll get a scene of her trying to sav her because she now owns her life, or something like that.
