No, Bickslow isn't in this chapter. Gif is relevant tho. Just something interesting I noticed in the latest 100YQ chapter that wanted to use as an excuse to ramble about Bickslow’s magic~!
For the record, I have not been reading the 100YQ. I do, however, skim the chapters when I learn Laxus or the Raijinshuu are involved in any way. Which is why I ended up skimming this latest chapter. I heard that Laxus was in it and wanted to see what he was up to... And lo and behold...
He somehow ends up getting his soul taken.
Which, wow... that's not at all what I was expecting. But, I actually find it really interesting!
(For reasons not related to the 100YQ.)
First off, I’m sure Laxus will be fine. If I had to guess, this is gonna tie back to the dragon soul Laxus consumed a while ago. I think, while this guy has Laxus' soul, the soul of that old dragon is gonna be controlling Laxus' body in the next fight to get it back. But, that’s just my theory.
The main thing I wanted to ramble about is, when I first saw this panel, I couldn’t help but think how freakin’ cool it would be if Bickslow was somehow there to help Laxus. Souls are his specialty after all. (Totally a missed opportunity if you ask me.) Hell, pitting Bickslow against any antagonist who can either steal souls or has no soul would be a real cool concept tbh.
I know it won’t happen in the 100YQ, especially since there are already way too many characters in play right now for the Raijinshuu to suddenly show up, but it’s fun to imagine.
Also, this might just be me, but I love that we get to actually see a soul depicted here. It's like getting a glimpse at what Bickslow sees when he looks at people's souls. It honestly just makes me wish his magic was explored even more. I'm still salty we've only seen him use his eye magic less than a handful of times, and it's only worked... like what? ONCE? And that was on Tenrou when Elfman let him take control.
I'm not including when he used it against Evergreen in the 100YQ. I absolutely hate that fight AND that interpretation of Bickslow's magic. Never before has his magic actually turned someone into a doll.... it's weird and doesn’t make any sense imo. Obviously he can control souls, and he can probably take souls OUT of people and put them into dolls, but NOT turn people physically INTO dolls... What he did to Evergreen was just a plot convenience to make sure every member of the Raijinshuu was KO’d quickly and in one go. Not only to give Gray the "easy" W, but also to make him seem clever and less guilty than hurting them directly...? I guess??
What I think should’ve happened was Bickslow taking control of Evergreen’s soul momentarily before instantly releasing it as he was turned to stone. But then Evergreen would've been left standing and probably release her magic too... and what's Gray gonna do then? Just beat the shit out of them like he did Freed? (¬`‸´¬)
Aside from that, imagine if Bickslow ever got to use his power against someone in battle, without them being immune to it in someway? That’d be so cool! Obviously, it’s super OP, but if written correctly I think it would make the story more interesting (rather than be just an instant win that authors try to avoid.)

B I C K S L O W 🌀👅 // Bickslow is actually kind of attractive I think. He reminds me a lot of Scorpio and the two seem like they’d get along really well. His magic is actually really scary because he can basically take your soul just by looking at you. He definitely loves his babies and being apart of the Thunder Legion.
Am I the only one who wishes we had a better explanation as to how Bickslow’s magic works? I mean, it involves trapping souls and the last chapters literally called it ‘black magic’, but I doubt FT would let him stay if it was evil, so where does these souls come from? And are them even normal souls? Because they don’t act like individuals, they just echo Bickslow’s words and fight.
So yeah, I've been confused by this for a while already, and with the last chapters focusing on everyone’s magic and their weakness it just bothered me even more that his power is so vaguely defined.
