Fairy Tail 511 Review: Sting is An Idiot

Fairy Tail, Chapter 511: Hunger Hell

Apparently Sting thinks that "Rahkeid is Natsu's nephew" as something complicated. I mean, I know Sting isn't the brightest tool in the box (a.k.a. pretty fucking dumb) but seriously? 

Anyway, the battle is decent if you ignore all the insipid dialogue being thrown around, because, fuck, Sting is an idiot and every single line out of his mouth is idiotic. The battle scene is cool, I'll give them that. Between Sting eating everything thrown at him, to the scene of Holy Nova knocking Rahkeid into a boulder, to the sensation of hunger and Rahkeid throwing the cross on his back like a shuriken...

Then the idiocy starts all over again as Rahkeid makes everyone hallucinate that others are food. And they start biting each other. And then Frosch says something sappy and Sting snaps out and... knocks everyone out. Because Fairy Tail is a manga where no woman not named Erza is not allowed to do anything, so despite Kagura being able to resist Rahkeid's attacks before she also gets klonked in the head. 

Some very boring lines of dialogue are exchanged between Rahkeid and Sting that I gloss over. We did get the cool visual imagery of Rahkeid impaling Sting's shoulder with a cross, but they talk about how Fairy Tail is awesome and Natsu is awesome and I just... don't want to read it. And then Rogue randomly shows up, feeds Sting his shadows, and Sting goes on to fight Rahkeid who uses some forbidden magic of sleep, R.I.P. or whatever.

So much talking that really ruins what by rights could've been a pretty cool fight. At least Rahkeid isn't causing everyone to orgasm, which is something?
