@Daniel_Newton: I wouldn't mind some adventure. The school goes on a trip to somewhere, the main four get lost, it's Tsubaki with Oka while Urabe ends up lost with Ueno. Could play around with that idea. Oka could suggest things to Tsubaki about what Urabe could be doing alone with Ueno. Maybe Oka is the reason they get lost? Some mischief on her part.

...perfect. You should give Riichi Ueshiba a call and make it happen.

That actually sounds like something Oka might do, too. Maybe Oka could end up flirting with Tsubaki a bit, that could definitely create some tension. There was potential for that back when they bumped into each other and had ice-cream together.

@takashichea: Dude, catch up faster! Then we can talk about the newest episodes, haha. It still feels like you're miles behind.

@Supreme Marvel: Yeah I'm not sure either. Failing the old crush idea, a way to spice things up could be Ueno finally finding out about Tsubaki and Urabe, especially if he finds out secretly (seeing them together from afar) and things get awkward. I feel like there needs to be a new dynamic of some kind introduced soon.

Or maybe just a massive fan service chapter. The manga has been ongoing since 2006 and I don't think we've seen a single trip to a hot spring... impressive.

Moved to the battles board, please don't post battles in off-topic, thanks.

@Supreme Marvel: Looks like it so far, and not the two I thought it would be!

I'm surprised there are no votes for Tiffania yet, it was was between her, Shiina and Astraea for me. Went for Shiina though.

I wonder if they'll add a male character for drama? Since Urabe seems in control of her emotions and well, Tsubaki doesn't.

Did Urabe mention having a crush before Tsubaki? I think she might have, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's time to introduce him for some tension.

Not a lot happened in the new chapter, but it definitely made me laugh a few times, especially when Urabe blocked Oka's attack, twice.

Uploaded a few images from the chapter:

I like how the first image shows how strongly Tsubaki resembles his grandfather. Guess we know what he'll look like when he's older.

@waybig1010101: Since this is general Fairy Tail anime talk I'm going to close this thread and direct you to the Fairy Tail anime discussion thread. Feel free to repost it there! Thanks.

Hey guys, I was busy and ended up missing the set dates to close and start new polls. The next swimsuit contest poll is up (votes and posts are always appreciated) and will continue until Sunday or Monday, but regular polls won't start again until next week. I didn't want to run a full set of polls for only half a week.

So this Friday, apart from the swimsuit brackets overlapping for a few days, the normal routine will be restored. Sorry about that!

I went for the transforming, talking animal. Screw all the fighting! I can turn into anything! Likely getting myself into too much trouble but it'd be fun while it lasted.

Poll closed! Winner: Human-Saiyan Hybrid

I didn't know I was an anime or wiki addict.

...you've been an addict for a while now, my friend.

I think I only watched around the 11 ~ 15 mark. I have a feeling I'll watch a lot more this year though, including a lot I missed last year.

Poll closed! Winner: 1 ~ 5

VOTING FOR BRACKET #4 IS OVER!

It was an interesting experiment having a doubles round followed by a singles round, with C.C. making it to the finals while Junko and Tsukiumi made it into the runner-up bracket (which is now getting very big!).

I can't stop the poll, so here's a snapshot of the results:

VOTING FOR ROUND #5 HAS STARTED! VOTE NOW!

VOTING FOR THIS ROUND IS NOW OVER!

Winner: C.C.!

Runner-up: Junko & Tsukiumi!

This thread will is now closed. I can't stop the poll itself, so a snapshot of the results will be added to the main thread.

Welcome to the fifth bracket of the AVWP Tournament: Swimsuit Contest Extravaganza! This week we are using the standard all-versus-all six-contestant format. There is, however, a theme: blondes! Or "blond" if you prefer that spelling. Six blondes, six swimsuits... but only one will win!

Astraea	Charlotte Dunois	Tiffania Westwood
Kobato Hasegawa	Mashiro Shiina	Shizuka Marikawa

Nine votes with three contestants tied for first place and the other three tied for second... that's no good, come on guys! This will close later today so get your votes in quick!

@Acura_Max: Sure, I don't see why not. Didn't Aleasha run it last time?

@Aleasha @takashichea If either of you want to organise that, feel free. I would recommend setting a time limit and then running a poll.

@DBZ_universe: There are no spoiler rules here, that's the main point. We are free to discuss the latest manga chapters to our hearts content :)

I think Natsu's reaction to Future Lucy was the best part of chapter 317, though I'm definitely looking forward to see what will happen with Rogue next week.

@DBZ_universe: I want to keep the discussion thread names matching, and unfortunately I can't change thread names. Besides, the last post in that thread is from 2 months ago, so there wouldn't be much point in re-opening it anyway really. The challenge is to make this thread even better than that one!

There are two Fairy Tail discussion threads, this one for manga and one for anime, you can find links to all of the big discussion threads here.

@DBZ_universe: @takashichea: By the way, I'm up-to-date with the manga now so I'll be able to join in with you guys :)
