「旅の仲間たち」 (Tabi no Nakamatachi)
“Traveling Companions”
It turns out that the clock hand we’ve seen is just the beginning of a long journey. To complete this quest, one needs six pieces of this “clock”, and the clock hand was just the first one. The guild members split themselves into five groups to look for the remaining parts, and these groups, they’re definitely bringing out the romance lovers. Couples, couples, and couples – there is so much shipping going on in FAIRY TAIL today! As far as I can tell, we have Juvia x Gray, Natsu x Lucy, and Gajeel x Levy – one of these couples has an imaginary family, if only this was real…
It seems to me that this filler arc might not end this summer. Knowing that there are more parts of this clock to find, Legion to defeat and probably Jackpot too – I doubt that the remaining 3 – 5 episodes are enough for this, unless we see some crazy pacing here. And on top of that, none of the FAIRY TAIL members except Gajeel has gone through any training. I’m assuming we might have fillers next season too, not that I mind, but I could be wrong! The only thing I’ll mind with this season’s end will be the fact that I won’t be able to hear the amazing ending theme anymore, I like it very much.
Leaving that and going back to the episode itself, it seems that there has been some gossiping going on about this quest. Michelle said that there might be a traitor in FAIRY TAIL, I’m not sure if that’s a serious statement or not, but the only person I can imagine being a traitor for now is Michelle herself, but I hope I’m wrong. I like her very much, especially her interactions with Lucy. I’d be very sad to see her betray Lucy. But luckily, Lucy has three more partners for this quest: Natsu, Happy, and Romeo. It looks like Romeo’s battle is coming up, and based on the opening sequence, I assume he’ll fight alongside Natsu who has now returned to his original size thanks to some kind archaeologists.
Now that we’ve seen some teams arrive at their destinations, it seems that next week’s episode will focus on finding the key parts in these weird places. It looks like Gray’s team will fight while Natsu’s team will walk through a labyrinth. There is nothing in the preview about the other teams. I guess they’re still training, or maybe, still sulking because of a ruined picnic…
Next episode will probably be an action packed one, looking forward to that.
Moete kitazou!

At least, we can see Romeo in adventure with natsu 😀
LOL tiny natsu on happy’s head Kya !!! kawaii
WTH is wrong with Leon’s voice in this episode!?
Another week another missing shot of Wendy’s pantsu.
Sad face.
Dude you need help… If you going to ask for panties, at least ask for Lucy’s or Cana’s and not the 10 year old girl.
lolicon
only thing missing are if they got yuri lesbian couples in this show?
Juvia looks entirely too much like Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.”
I’m ok with Natsu x Lucy but wondering why Lisanna is being ignored. I hate the other pairings 100%.
The dialogue between Juvia, Gray, and Lyon was just golden. The classical music made it even better.
The name of the classical music played during Juvia, Gray n Lyon slipped my mind. Anybody remember the name of it?
It’s Air on the G-String, if I’m not mistaken.
One thing I don’t quite understand yet is that even after all the emotional flashbacks of Small Natsu and Small Lisanna… and how emotive it was when Natsu saw her at Edolas… and even when they found out it was Earth Lisanna at the end of the Edolas arc… they never explored their relationship.
It’s great that there are so many screenshots of Gray and Juvia. And I’m happy that Lyon is there with them; it should make things more interesting with the love triangle.
That picnic was just so random. I actually don’t want Lily to overcome his fear of lightning, because that’s part of his cute side. I hope they will explain why the archeologists know Lucy’s mom. And too bad Natsu’s back to his original size, I won’t have mind if he stayed small for another episode.
