Fairy Tail Manga Discussion

407:




Good thing Juvia isn't there to see Gray now. She wouldn't be able to keep her panties on. In any case this is undoubtly Gray's moment of glory. He just arrived and seemingly already hit Mard Geer harder than the three dragon slayers combined, assuming the demon king dude doesn't just shake the absolute zero ice off his arm.

I wonder what Mavis's deal is. Why must nobody know of it? Zeref is hanging around all the time (literally), which means he ought to know what lumen histoire is all about as well. The spin-off series revealed Mavis is an illusion mage. That alone could suggest some bullshit like a part of the world of magic is just a grand illusion, but that theory wouldn't hold with Zeref. It's just pretty hard to imagine great many truths about the world that absolutely need to be kept secret.

Sting and Rouge' s power has ascended to Fairy tail level!! It doesn't matter if you are outclassed in every way, now the true power of selflessness and friendship overcomes logic. There are some animes where characters undergo this background sequence of events to explain growth. Fairy tail just presses FF on development and gives you the outcome. Who knew? If you cut out all the back story from every anime fight and showed the cause, effect and outcome that it looks like a FT arc

[Kraco]

Still, villainy also takes you pretty far. To the second place. Or actually to the first place, until the final fight with Fairy Tail or likeminded comes. Who knows how it all will end with Zeref, at the very end. He's looking at Natsu to grant him peace, so maybe it will end with that, super traditionally, but maybe the series will give us a single surprise before it ends.

Besides, if it takes two FT-minded people to beat a single villain, you might argue the villain was stronger than any single FT-minded. Of course since FT actually advocates friends above everything else, then beating somebody 2 vs 1 is an aspect of FT power.

Edit: FT Zero kind of feels nicer than the main story, perhaps because it's so fresh. I'm not usually a lover of spinoffs, but it's good. Despite of loli fanservice...

[toonice714]

Yeah definitely. I mean that scene on the lake was pointless besides obvious fan service

[Death BOO Z]

so, the meaning of end is revealed. time to timeskip. again.

[toonice714]

Gtay vs Natsu??!! So natsu is really a demon?? Dragon slaying demon? Well a lot of things are wrapping up. We know why the dragons left and where they went, what E.N.D is, and whats in FT's basement. If you guys are following FT zero, then it seems like FT is originally a dark guild. Maybe this will also spill into the conclusion blurring the lines of Good vs Evil.

Also anyone else who read FTZ a little weirded out by the story being kinda based on some introverted guy's suicide fantasy? Zeref.....get help man (o.O)

[Kraco]

END being some kind of Natsu is just a "wut?" for me, not anything solved. Considering we have seen time travelling already, I couldn't help but think Natsu isn't yet anything special but will be. Clearly for a man of Zeref's calibre the past, the present, and the future are meaningless definitions, so he knew all along at some point Natsu could fulfill his suicide fantasy. I really don't know how the demons of the concluding arc fit in if END is Natsu, though. Maybe they were a catalyst, and they just didn't know it themselves.

FTZ surely did reveal a big thing about Zeref. Almost a pity, but it's not like we wouldn't have seen lots of hints already. I guess most of his infamy is derived from stuff he tried to create to either kill him or keep him company (without dying).

[Kraco]

Pretty funny fanservice omake was released. Somehow it seemed to flow better than the real arcs of late. I doubt anything as such has changed in the series, but perhaps it's just the fact it stays so much the same that its getting stale already after so many chapters.

I especially liked how Natsu walked into the women's side in a nonchalant, business as usual manner heeding Erza's call. And of course the fact Erza called him there in the first place as if there was nothing strange about it, not bothering to cover herself at all when discussing with Natsu, nor paying any attention to Natsu's state of clothing. I bet it would have been a bit different for her if it had been Jellal entering the women's side... Lucy naturally ended up joining the unmindfulness once pushed far enough.

There wasn't a single line of dialogue in this latest chapter, and yet it was one of the most enjoyable chapters of the entire series. It had me laughing.


Going back to the previous chapter and END being Etherious Natsu Dragneel... Zeref has stated that Natsu will be the one to finally defeat and kill him, and Mard Geer had said that the demons of tartaros were created for the sole purpose of killing Zeref. So, it sounds like Natsu is actually a demon created by Zeref, he just hasn't awakened his demon powers yet. If I recall correctly, I believe Natsu has no memory of his real parents or of his childhood prior to meeting Igneel?

It's possible Zeref might have had something to do with Natsu's past, but I wouldn't bet on Natsu being a demon. It might be that Zeref was already at that point disappointed by demons and their lack of success in defeating him. I'd also think Igneel would have noticed if Natsu was such a thing. Like I said before, it's also possible Zeref knows of Natsu's future, ahead of time, and that's why he's counting on Natsu.

This guy makes borederline hentai >_>
The fan service to the yuri community is blinding....also 417 was enjoyable to flip thru!

One thing about FT, FTZ, and any other rendition of FT, is that they sure know how to capture attention and generate interest in anything synonymous with FT. Hats off to the mangaka for keeping it fresh,fun and light enough to pass the time

[toonice714]

418 is out and we have a final time skip seemingly. Its good to see natsu again but it seems like it was too soon. However it is very reminiscent of the original arc. And a lil fan service here and there

I agree. It would have been nice if there was at least a several week hiatus or some type of side story to build anticipation for their reunion.

[NeoCybercoin]

Ahh we get an actual time skip for the characters instead of a 7 year freeze.

[Kraco]

Looks like Natsu borrowed a page from Zilconis's book to add to Igneel's teachings: Flames that gently destroy clothes. It created quite a fitting reunion with Lucy missing some crucial clothing items already. No better way to greet the long missing boyfriend than offering some fanservice right off the bat.

Now if only Gray and Juvia returned as a married couple.

419:




It's certainly as you say. It feels like absolutely nothing happened, let alone Fairy Tail got disbanded, when just two chapters ago it was still there. I'm sure Mashima could have come up with something a bit more depressing and especially longer than Lucy working a less than grand job and some noname guild winning the tournament for a single chapter. It wouldn't have needed to be something unreadably bad, just something that would have made the readers feel like Fairy Tail was really gone and Lucy was trying to cope with it. She could have travelled around, meeting familiar faces from the other guilds, reminiscing about the past, bringing up some good novel comedy scenes with the FT members in a flashback like manner. That would have made it feel like they were really all gone.

[Death BOO Z]

ok, I guess it is going to be a bit of 'gathering around the old crew'.

I wish they'd call this chapter 'blaze it', on account of 420 and all...

[Kraco]

420:






I suppose it was hardly unimaginable with Pantherlily as a precedent, but somehow I still wasn't expecting Charle to make such an appearance. She looks quite good as well, though obviously she has got nothing on Millianna's sexy body. Reading this chapter I couldn't help but wonder if Wendy has become any tougher, but on the other hand she's so young and so much weaker than Natsu and Gajeel that getting relatively stronger than her old self would be very easy indeed. Obviously it would be impossible for her to reach Natsu and Gajeel's level any time soon, if ever, considering her specialty is healing and she's such a gentle girl compared to those two blood thirsty ruffians.

I'd be hugely and positively surprised if Erza had been hanging around with Jellal all this time. But I reckon the chances are close to zero. Either she's been training alone or with the likes of Kagura.

[Kraco]

421:




Chelia ought to pray Natsu will find a good fight even without flying. Lest he will kick her pretty ass when this is all over. You won't get between a dragon and its prey without consequences. Maybe he will just go and one shot kill the whole army of nameless monsters, even if such a thing makes a poor compensation for a missed chance to fight against proper mages.

I have to say the best part of the chapter was Natsu using Happy like some sort of tool to tickle Lucy's feet. That with the empty eyes made a good combo. Somehow such a meaningless action is exactly what one would do in a situation where everything went exactly opposite to the expectations and there's nothing but a dead-end in sight.

[toonice714]

Brace yourselves........The Charle FAN SERVICE IS COMING!!!!
