「真の悪ケツプリ団」 (Shin no Waru Ketsupuri-dan)
“The Truly Evil Jiggle Butt Gang”

Now would be a good time to bring out the “Dat ass” pictures.

The second station for this filler train brings us this rollercoaster episode filled with big buttocks. Some of you may be familiar with the “Jiggle Butt Gang” from Mashima Hiro’s first work called RAVE, but I wasn’t (I’ve only read a few chapters, but I intend to pick it up again soon), so I had no idea what to expect from these odd characters when I saw them in the opening and preview last week.

For some people, this kind of comedy is really funny, while others might think it’s ridiculous or childish, but I’m quite childish myself as I found myself laughing at some scenes in this episode, however, the highlight of this episode was not the comedy – It was Wendy.

Even though Wendy was introduced very late in this show, I’ve come to grow very fond of her. It’s nice to have a bright and rational character in a show where most of the main characters are quite silly. FAIRY TAIL is good, but like most shounen shows, the main male protagonist gets most of the attention, so this filler season will probably be a refreshing breeze in this show because it seems like the girls will get the main attention, which, for me, is something great!

So, if we go back to Wendy – I love how she was portrayed in this episode. Wendy has always been quite neutral, calm, and soothing. Even though she’s always there, her character development has been very slow, but this episode changed everything. The kindness Wendy showed our antagonists in this episode, truly brought justice to her character. And speaking of kindness…

I feel so sorry for Natsu. After all the kindness he’s shown Lucy, he gets stuck with a mission that involves trains. However, I can’t really blame Lucy because she probably assumed that Wendy’s “Troia” would work. I didn’t expect Natsu to develop some sort of resistance to Troia. I’m guessing that this is temporary, or just a coincidence, but it sure was funny to watch. It’s been a long time since we saw him being sick.

Lucky for him, Wendy’s hard work (and the lovable Plue) made the thieves reconsider their plans. Unfortunately, we never got to see their good sides as they were punched into the distance by the recovered Natsu.

The end of this episode was very quick. I assumed this gang would appear in many episodes because they’re featured in the opening sequence – but then again, there are many characters in the current opening sequence. So I guess we won’t see this farting trio anymore.

Overall, this episode was okay, and sometimes quite funny, but not as good as last week’s episode, but, I have a feeling next week will bring us a better episode.

Next station for this filler train: Invisible Lucy!

  1. Slightly funny, but different from the usual Fairy Tail humor. It seemed more like a kiddie show this way, seeing how it brought Team Rocket nostalgia back into my mind. The next episode seems like another gag episode over actual filler-plot, so I’m wondering when we’ll see this ‘Michelle’ girl make her appearance…

  3. Total lol menus there

    The anime has nothing on the manga though the manga totaly kicks butt and everyone should take a look at the manga too because it’s fricking insane

    Though I think it’s hilarious and we totaly need more anime’s like that

  4. With regards to Wendy’ Troia spell on Natsu

  5. This episode wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either. I like how the Butt gang were good people. (Too bad they got KO-ed by Natsu.)

    PLUE IS SO CUTE <3
    Also looking forward to next week's Lucy-focused episode.

    god
  6. Ummm… the way you said – ‘I didn’t expect Natsu to develop some sort of resistance to Troia.’ I think the anime director’s or even Hiro made a mistake himself here. I’m not having a go at you I’m picking at an anime error xD
    Back to the point, I’m almost certain when Wendy was first introduced and used Troia on Natsu she mentioned that the more she used it the less effective it would be. I may be wrong, but I’m almost certain it happened in the Oracion Seis arc. Anyone remember??

  7. Oh, sorry seems WHRyder already mentioned it. Knew it wasn’t just me xD
    Anyway, I’m actually enjoying this filler arc not only is it refreshing to have it focus on a different main, but I’m glad to be seeing something new. I’ve read and grown attached to reading the manga. I read it weekly, so I’m glad to have something unexpected in the anime every week 🙂

      1. Lord Plue and the episode that explained how he got his title are virtually the only things I can recall of Rave Master. I remember thinking it was the funniest thing ever.
        I guess the general public agreed on what was the most memorable part of the show.

  8. I love Fairy Tail but am sick of the Natsu motion sickness joke. It was funny the 1st time they originally did it and the 2nd as well. Maybe even the 25th time but now its getting irritating. I can’t believe they devote so much time in episodes to his motion sickness.

  9. LOLOOL This episode was the most random fairy tail filler of the entire series! What the hell were they smoking and where can I get some? It also looked like it was a Wendy themed episode? After all she did sort of “save” the gold or maybe the animators wanted to draw Wendy? xD

    DAT ASS? DO NOT WANT.

    I expect there will be lots of Lucy fan service next week? Or lack of due to invisible Lucy! I do enjoy these filler episodes, but I am craving the next real manga arc =/
