Fairy Tail 350 "Gray vs. Doriate" Summary:
As Gray witnesses Doriate's new body and is unable to express his thoughts, he is quickly attacked by the monstrous demon. Reeling from the blow, Gray notes that he is very powerful in addition to being agile, despite his bulky body. Yelling into the sky, Doriate activates his Law of Retrogression over a wider area than before, turning Gray, Natsu and Erza into children once again. Mocked by Minerva, Erza tells the Dark Mage that she too has been affected, which promptly stops her laughing. Elsewhere, Lucy, Flare and Wendy are similarly affected by the Magic and while Lucy and Flare talk about one another, Wendy wonders what is going on. Someplace else, the Sylph Labyrinth Treasure Hunters Drake, Hiroshi and Lala have also been turned into children.
Near Gray and Doriate, Happy and Carla fall from the sky, having also being regressed into the bodies of children. Asking if Doriate used his Magic on the entire village, the Exceed are shocked as he returns to focus on the battle, with Gray forced to fight alone to stop him. Despite his attempts to attack or immobilize him, Gray is unsuccessful and attacked in turn. Taking heavy damage from the blow, Gray notes that Doriate's power is increasing just as the demon aims another attack. With no way to dodge, Gray attempts to think of a plan but is only able to think of the ice in the village. As Doriate prepares to attack, Gray braces for the blow just before Carla and Happy rescue him.
Carla notes that they aren't able to fly too high off the ground, something which Gray takes notice of as he sees that Doriate did not punch the ice. Remembering that when Doriate crashed into the frozen bushes he was injured, he realizes that the demon has a weakness to the ice covering the village. Just barely dodging another attack as he realizes that this means said ice can injure him, Gray decides to use the village's ice against him. Having been initially intimidated due to the feelings of remembering Deliora, Gray places his hand on the ground and uses his body as a vessel with which he can send the ice through his body and attack Doriate. Doing so proves effective as Doriate is knocked out, reversing the Magic and turning everyone, including the two combatants back to normal. As Gray wonders about the ice and Doriate's true form, the Dark Mage laughs, telling Gray he made a mistake by opening up Hell's gate. Telling him that such cannot be undone, Doriate is cut off before he can say anything further as he is suddenly taken in the maw of a large monster, much to everyone's shock.

One of the many things I have always loved about Fairy Tail is how well it blends witticism and fanservice into its storyline, no matter how acute and intense the very moment in question is. The supposed Catfight of the Year, one that pits Erza against Minerva, didn’t exactly turn out the way I have expected – there was no grand display of badassery and no sign of catty verbal jabs. There was, however, the return of a certain feature, a highlight that is bound to inspire a paroxysm of shrills and “Kyaaaa” among the fanboys! Yes, the cute little loli’s have made a comeback and this time, every single one of them – Erza, Lucy, Flare, Wendy, Charle and even Minerva ojou sama – has been reverted back to their puerile stature! Mashima sensei sure knows how to please his fans, our desires, every little minutia of it, have almost always been granted without fail – we now have a complete collection of each and every loli, and all the fans who were disgruntled by the lack of just that can finally get off to sleep! As always, the comedic moments were just spot-on – and I especially enjoyed the shameless little exchange between Lucy and Flare, a silly tète-à-tète that brought a chuckle to my face. “Blondie, you’re really cute” – what an unapologetic attempt to compliment each other and yes, they do look pretty darn adorable! I’m also increasingly convinced Flare is head over heels in love with Lucy – and if she does, indeed, become a new addition to Fairy Tail, I have no doubt she’ll make an excellent yuristalker, giving Juvia a good run for her money!
Erza might not have had her moment of badassery this week – but Gray Fullbuster sure as hell did! Gray is clearly not as powerful of a combatant as Erza or Natsu – the latter two have emerged victorious in practically every bout, “overpowered”, invincible and pretty much undefeated! Gray, on the other hand, has succumbed to more than his fair share of whoopass – he’s not nearly as almighty, but that also makes him infinitely more relatable, a human character who we can all sympathize with. His strive and courage are surely beyond doubt – and to see him snatch his victory from the jaws of defeat was, without question, an immensely rewarding experience. Doriate has, indeed, gone down in defeat – but as it turns out, there’s a caveat to Gray’s triumph and it might not be a clear-cut bull’s eye that we all thought it was. The gate to Hell has been opened – what that means is anyone’s guess, but the latest revelation can in no way be construed as a welcome relief! Needless to say, there’s bound to be waves of commotion and drama before all the dust is finally settled – the ice magic that Gray channeled through him, one that looks just like an electric shock, was probably the key trigger for the most recent hooplas. Its connection to Deliora, and by extension Zeref, has been hinted at more than once and who knows – the Killing Mage, might even graced us with his appearance, an advent that will most definitely get me all hyped-up!
