Human trafficking

all the stuff editor-kun disapproved of was filed away until the day mashima would call upon it, to make an adventure to surpass one piece

No because some part of the EZ fanbase are either people who hate FT or FTfags that got tired of the shit Mashima keep pulling in FT.

No.
Note that the series has a multiverse setting, so some of the main character got bad endings in one of the universe.

He went back to his roots, Rave was just as fucked at times

As expected of user.

He became depressed

Fuck off

Ijuna was such an extreme case of stockholm syndrome, christ. What happened to her was a bad end

Alright that does it, how does he get away with this? Now I fucking mean it

this often happens with perverts, they get tired of vanilla like huge titties and feet and have to wallow in more and more degenerate niche fetishes

He's been always a bit of an edge fag, but now seems to have embraced it more.

by telling and not showing

There is nothing implictly sexual about shoving bombs in your ass unless you're a pervert.

You know what the best part about it is?
The heroes failed to save her. She escaped capture and returned to the guy who did that to her, calling herself just as fucked up as him, and they embraced each other as they were erased from existence. Her friend who wanted to save her and knew her as a kind girl before this didn't know what to do after that.

>I can fix him

He got rid of loli and had to compensate

>how does he get away with this?
Because Japan isn't America? Unless you show uncensored dicks and vaginas then quite literally anything goes. Hell, you can even have outright sex in manga so long as you don't show/completely censor the actual insertion itself weirdly enough.

I see Happy, but not Lucy.

Lucy wasn't in Rave Master either.

But one of the main characters IS a loli

Literally not a main character

Mashima is a master and a connoisseur of many tastes.

miku chan...

Basically her entire character arc

He got tired of fans complaining his mangas were 'too soft' and have 'no stakes'

His manga are meh, but Mashima himself is a pretty based man. Can't wait for when he finally loses it and does some explicit hardcore shit

>Can't wait for when he finally loses it and does some explicit hardcore shit
just wait for the U1 Homura whore chapter

He came pretty close with his game. I haven't played it yet but the images from the bad ends look like some Taimanin shit.

What the fuck this is some Violence Jack shit

I never see anyone talk about how messed up this is. It's almost like he wrote it to make readers feel uneasy about the whole "humanizing the villain through love" thing they can't get enough of, making the villain so inhumanly evil towards everyone--especially the girl who falls for him--that he comes full circle.

Need I add, the girl wouldn't have fallen for him if she didn't get Stockholm'd over said acts of evil.

Jesus christ.
I can't tell if this is an evident case of bad writing or mashima literally wanting to give a dark end to this pervert girl.... Hope the latter, that would make mashima kinda based in my eyes...

That's not all: this girl was a submission for an OC contest. There were four others who were picked, and they all got off comparatively easy.
The closest any of them got to that kind of dark shit was the one Tumblr-type dark-skinned girl with freckles, a pink fur coat and heterochromia; the whole reason Mashima came up with for why her eyes didn't match was because she had one ripped out in a deadly game of strip poker.

Definitely the latter, the girl wasn't the primary objective, and they only found out she was there after they started attacking the antagonist's base.

BTW, the official translation for the afterword revealing what Mashima has in store for Elsie and Justice went with a different phrasing that made it seem less bad: instead of "unfortunate fate", it's "star-crossed destiny".

>"It was a really fun project, so I'd love to do it again, but all of the characters selected ended up as enemy characters, so there's a possibility that they will die miserable deaths. So I hope all the happy winners will please forgive me."
>"As for Ijuna, I thought of an interesting development to go with her Ether Gear powers, so she's not a member of Oceans, but I think she'll have her time in the spotlight."
Jesus Christ, Mashima...

How do you think mashima became this hardcore?
In my headcanon, after all the insults he took for Fairy Tail he went full " good, people insulted me for relying to much on asspulls, power of friendship and good will etc... Well, now I will go for edgelord on them all!"

Joker and Harley Quinn shit, it makes you feel uneasy because how loyal she is to a guy who constantly chucks her under the boss

>became

He was always this hardcore. The problem with Fairy Tail was that his editors held him back. With Eden Zero, he now has more freedom.

Fairytale was quite lighthearted and had little consequences so mashima wanted to do something a bit different

Is it good? I only know this from it being the cover of Judgement's soundtrack.

Yes it's good

Mashima greatest complaint on Fairy Tail was how soft the villains were so this is a kind how do you like it now!!?? to the fanbase

I wish this series had way less fanservice. It seems like it can't make up its mind or whether it wants to be an ecchi or a serious anime.

>Do I have to pick this up?
how do we answer this fucking kind of question? It's worth it, read it.
