Fairy Tail 361 sees the return of Natsu on the battlefield, this time he seems to have a way in which he can use the explosives from Jackal and just eat them up. He does this and shows Jackal that he won’t be affected by such a technique anymore. Jackal chases down Michello and makes Lucy choose from Michello and a woman to which she’d rather see saved, Natsu arrives and smacks him.

Fairy Tail see’s Michello run as fast as he can, Jackal tries to chase him down by Wendy and Lucy try to stop him. From which Wendy uses her roar to in order to push him back, however he uses his explosion to negate the roar. Scorpion appears by Lucy and uses he’s sand buster however again it’s explodes.

Jackal mentions that the magic in which they consider is nothing more than the top-tier to their power. He moves his arm exploding everything around that area as well as pushing Wendy and Lucy back. Jackal goes away from there, Lucy mentions that they cannot let him go away and thus Lucy goes towards him with Wendy taking care of Natsu.

Michello appears in the village mentioning and asking people that he needs to be hid somewhere. He mentions that he’s a former magic council member, he’s protected them for his whole life and now is their turn to protect him. Out of nowhere, Jackal appears to which it scares Michello and he farts. HE gets in the water when he mentions that he doesn’t know anything.

He just wants to spend his last days with his grandchild, Jackal mentions that he’s left her back. Lucy appears and tries to bring a companion out however she hits a landmine to which if she moves she’ll explode. People around their notice her, she tells them to go home. Jackal raises Michello from the water in a circular water thing, the same is done to an innocent person.

He mentions that they’re both ticking bombs to which Lucy is told that he’ll only kill one of them, and thus Lucy has to choose. Both the girl and Michello begin to cry and say that they’re both worth more, however Lucy is unable to choose. However out of nowhere, Natsu arrives and smacks Jackal in the face, at this point he mentions that he’ll choose him to kill. The magic around Lucy and the water is undone and they’re both free.

Both are saved, however Natsu smacks Michello mentioning that he is annoying and thus needs to take a nap. Jackal mentions that he touched him again as well as being thick-headed. Natsu mentions that he understand his trick now. As his elbow begins to explode he places his mouth there to which he seems to show that the explosion has been minimized and this shocks Jackal that he’s been able to stop his attack. Fairy Tail 361 ends here.

What an awesome chapter, the fights are beginning to show which awesome characters they’re truly going to begin fighting. The true battle hasn’t yet begun but I know that once it has begun, hell will literally get loose. Can’t wait for next week’s Fairy Tail 362, titled “Natsu vs Jackal”, it should be awesome!
