Speculation layered on speculation: I wonder if Natsu will be the only one "immune" or at least, not noticeably affected (Since he's over 80 or something.) I guess Wendy could have that deal going on too, but she didn't appear until later and wasn't there with Natsu and Gajeel when they were unable to leave the room with that rule, so who knows. As for Ultear, I'm just speculating here but this is probably just an area effect, so she'd have to stay there to remain young. Although I guess some cop out like "I studied the area and was able to restore my original age" could happen. Of course if you assume that the age reversal only goes a limited number of years (Thus letting Natsu hog the spotlight as they find themselves in a situation where he's the only one who can fight normally) then it wouldn't make enough difference for her.

I think Ultear is dead and was aged so that she could live long enough to see that everything worked out before she died rather than just dying and no-one being the wiser. As to chapater, color me as surprised as Natsu that these guys are actually kind of cool, though the sniper's gun seems kind of crummy compared to the designs of the hammer and sword. They're both really cool weapons. Hope the gun has some feature we haven't seen yet so it can be just as cool.

If everything wasn't frozen/covered in ice I wouldn't be expecting Ultear to factor into this so much. I mean, I still wouldn't be surprised, but at this point if she doesn't show up then I'll be surprised due to the perfect circumstance here.

Fairy Tail 345 So is that like, one panel that wasn't either a gag or a set up for a gag? Hell of a joke to start out on too.

Wait. Rogue's actual name is Rogue? He nicknamed himself Ryos? I think I know what's going on here. Minerva's buddy Piranha Scarf is turning everyone into kids. Somehow, the kids will acquire candy. Then, Minerva will steal the candy from them. That or Minerva is just gonna gank everybody's cats like usual. She's already molested Happy, but she still needs Charle and Loke for her collection of traumatised felines. More to the point, that's a neat scarf.

I didn't realize Doranbolt (I assume it's him) was.. you know.. like that though. When was that ever mentioned? Is it because he had some interaction with Wendy? Then again, if I didn't pick up on this.. I see my other theory was destroyed. I am sad.

Zogundar posted:I didn't realize either until you pointed it out, I can't go back can I? I am pretty sure that is not how Doranbolt actually is, but rather just how Erza thinks he is. But this confusion does demonstrate how much better this series would be without Wendy. Then Doranbolt could just be a cool dude rather than being marred by this. I vote we all go with the "Sick burn!" theory anyway. Monaghan posted:happy shows how much he sucks yet again. I think you meant "is completely awesome" instead of "sucks."

Yea, Happy might have dropped the ball, or in this case the bottle, but it appears to have helped regardless and the reaction page had me laughing for a good 20 or 30 seconds at the various faces. Happy and Pantherlily are the only two good cats, except possibly Happy's parents, who were kind of amusing as bit characters and got a fairly emotional scene at the end of their little story.

I want a Dragonslayer, or perhaps some kind of magic-user anathema to them that has a puppy sidekick now. One who gets on with Happy, chases Charle and is scared shitless of Pantherlily perhaps for the full range of reactions.

I wonder what the deal with God Slayers is. Did they actually learn their powers from gods? What does it even mean to be a god in FTverse? Are there gods still around? Did some of the God Slayers actually kill gods? Would it be possible for one of the God Slayers to become a god, like Acnologia became a dragon?

I think it's someone who was perving on Wendy and Chelia in the water park chapter. tsob posted:I want a Dragonslayer, or perhaps some kind of magic-user anathema to them that has a puppy sidekick now.

I remember seeing a sketch Mashima did with Laxus saying he didn't need a cat.

Keep in mind Laxus isn't a natural Dragon Slayer. He and Cobra both have Dragon Slayer lacrima in their bodies. Sting and Rogue too, but that's in addition to being natural ones. Type 2 Dragon Slayers seem to prefer having other humans for partners. Kind of.

I'm hoping the eternal flame turns out to be Atlas for shits and giggles. Natsu should ride him around everywhere and replenish fire whenever he needs to. It's a voice that's familiar to him so I have a sliver of faith.

attackbunny posted:That could actually be a thing. Atlas never went forward in time after the gate was smashed, so he must have been doing something for the last four hundred years. Hanging with giants, why not? Isnt the implication that Atlas would have been one of the skeletons underneath the castle? The Jade dragon guy also came through the gate from 400 years ago and we know his wasn't the only skeleton down there. I guess it was never implicitly stated, though. I would just rather the eternal flame be something new, as this plotline is refreshing and I would much prefer this manga not to rely on rehashing old characters. Maybe I'm still just traumatized by Jellal being every character ever.

Yeah minerva has been shown to be underhanded scumbag and will do anything to win a fight. What she did in this chapter is perfectly in line with her character. I sort of like that in a villain, makes them seem smarter.

tsob posted:Really? Seems to be the intelligent thing to do to me. Can't beat someone head on? Then just beat them using different tactics rather than keep trying the same old thing or suddenly powering her up by some deus ex machina. If she had lured Erza into an elaborate deathtrap, using a lifesize cardboard cutout of Jellal as the bait, that would at least be something. If she had constructed a diabolical plot to use Erza's weaknesses against her (again, lifesize cardboard Jellal cutout) that would be fine. Lucking into an old enemy while they're crippled and deciding to beat the poo poo out of them is hardly a clever stratagem. Imagine if you had a grudge against someone and your buddy coincidentally smashed both their kneecaps, and then you found them lying on the ground and declared "Time for a rematch! This is gonna be a fight to the death!" Then flick your hair around and announce that you only grace the mightiest guilds with your presence. It's completely trashy. Pragmatic, maybe, but still trashy. Though, it's not exactly like we need to spoiler that the only way Minerva could be a shittier person if she was literally gargling with diarrhoea.

Zogundar posted:Isn't Lucy the "Juvia" in that setup? Not really, since Lucy doesn't love Aquarius on any kind of personal level either - she just wants her to help her in fights. She may love her in a "I love all people/spirits" way mind, but I was referring more to the water power than the unrequited love thing. attackbunny posted:Minerva isn't really using tactics here. Except that it's pretty clear that Minerva didn't luck in to this - she's in the same guild as, and personally partnered with the Troll looking guy in the teeth bandana. Even if they didn't specifically go there to fight Fairy Tail it's pretty clear she got her partner to target and regress Erza so she could fight her once she was weakened. There's no real luck involved, and at least some element of strategy.
