“Fairy Tail vs. the Executioners”
Though their appearances may be foolish, the Garou Knights are the strongest executioners in the kingdom! And now, the members of Fairy Tail’s “away team” are separated from each other and forced into one-on-one combat against the knights.
The Review: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
The war on two fronts continues in full, as the Grand Magic Games continues and Natsu’s team fights against the Garou Knights. The skilled executioners are skilled, so there’s not many openings for Fairy Tail to get a hit in. When Cosmos is about to suck them all into one of her plants, they destroy it and the floor gives way. Natsu’s team is split up into five groups, each fighting one of the Garou Knights.

Natsu fights the leader with two scythes, Kama. Wendy fights the plant woman Cosmos. Panterlily fights against the drunkard Knepper. Mira versus the paper woman Kamika. The remaining go against the weird-o Uosuke.
I remember reading this in manga format and it worked a lot better there. The pacing in these Fairy Tail 2 episodes is always going to feel drawn out, I think, but this one especially felt so. What should have taken a few seconds took minutes and we take a random diversion to the Grand Magic Games to learn…that nothing has happened. There’s even a cute little exchange between the first master and Asuka about how little Mavis is.
What really irked me was a foreshadowing moment between Millianna and Minerva, which I don’t think was present in the manga (if it was, please correct me!). But the way it played out in the anime felt like it’s giving away too much of Minerva’s intentions, when those should really be kept relatively under wraps.
