Honestly at this point I reckon Minerva is the best character in the story. If Fairy Tail was all about her going around being a gigantic bitch to everyone regardless of the situation then not only would there be more fights but also a much lesser focus on Wendy and loving cats. Here's hoping that the giants flatten the mages of Fairy Tail so we can get this show on the road.

So this is basically child porn at this stage right? Crotch/cleavage shots of what is functionally underage kids is very disturbing. I don't even read this manga, I just check in sometimes when I want to see big attacks hitting things. But lately it's been getting more fanservice-y which is sad but OK, this is really just creepy at this point though and I think i'm done with this manga.

I think we can all agree that the series would be better if Wendy and Charle had simply never existed. They both somehow manage to be worse characters than even Jellal and everything associated with them is awful.

Has Wendy done anything other than be the healer? I'd be more forgiving if she had a great fight or something to explain/justify why she's part of the main group.

The last couple arcs have had her discovering some offensive Sky Dragon Slayer magic but up until then she was mostly healing and support.

They're fine characters, they just don't belong in this series. Well, Wendy's fine. Charle is kind of irritating.

Mangastream have the latest chapter up. Pretty good setup chapter, though it feels a bit odd that the arc appears to be wrapping up here. It was really short and anti-climactic all told. Not much really happened in it, though I enjoyed what was there. I also like that the Demon Slayer dude actually looks like he's supposed to be a nice person going by his design, the fact he's kneeling solemly at a grave and has a small and kind of gentle smile on his face. He probably won't be, but may be Mishima will make him bad in a fundamentalist believer kind of way, rather than an over the top and evil fuckhead way. Also, don't know about anyone else, but demon slayer appears to be a step down from God slayer to me. Oh, and Minerva is getting friendzoned apparently. Can't say it's a surprise or out of character given that this is Fairy Tail, but I'm not really fond of the idea. Maybe the execution will carry it off though, who knows.

I thought the same thing about him being Gray's dad, but Gray might already have Demon-Slayer magic. Didn't he say that after he used the ice it left him with something? I assumed that was the power-up right there.

I always felt that in the world of Fairy Tail its more than possible to master as many magics as you want, but in the metaverse of Making a Manga, its important that everyone has signature attacks. Everyone one trains one skill to the extreme in the hopes of getting some screen time. And also, nobody mentions that Natsu and Lucy know a bunch of bullshit cantrips like "light a candle with your mind" since lightning candles isnt cool.

Aren't his parents dead? If his dad was such a bigshot, wouldn't he have killed Deliora without trying? Or not, I'm not sure where Deliora fits in the hierarchy of things since Iced Shell sounds like it's capable of beating anyone that's not at the very top of the food chain (If we assume Hades would have been beaten by it as Ultear claimed.) Also I suppose that was what, 14 years ago now? Maybe when the series started he hadn't gotten that big promotion to the guild's Ginyu Squad.
That would be a fun twist though.

Maybe he learned magic to slay demons because he thought his brat kid got eaten by one? Before that he was like an embroidery mage.

I don't get why a Demon Slayer is a vile and terrible man? Sounds like he was mistaken when he froze the village.

Also loved the little twist but I odnt understand why the fire was Atlas or what the magic that brought him back was?

I'd almost think it was a mistake in understanding the wording (Contrast Demon Slayer vs. Demon Slayer, or, a Demon that is a Slayer vs. a person that is a Slayer of Demons) except Dragon Slayers have been firmly established as having the purpose of slaying dragons. But then they also use dragon powers and if Acnologia is any indication eventually they become one so maybe it's a little of both.

As for the other part, if we assume that Atlas is Igneel's friend and Igneel is an enemy of Zeref, I think it becomes a bit clearer.

Dragon Slayers are pretty cool with dragons, at least every one we've met so far. Really, they should probably just be called dragon mages. Of course on the other hand all the God Slayers learned what they know from old books and poo poo, so it could go either way.

I think it hinges on the fact that to become a Dragon Slayer you have to become dragon-like and chill with dragons, so by analogy to become a Demon Slayer you have to become demonic and chill with demons. Of course the God Slayer stuff mucks things up a bit, but let's chalk it up to book learning ain't got poo poo on the real deal. Or something.

But dragon slayers have magic that is good for slaying dragons. Just because some dragons are good doesn't mean they all are.
