In a shocking twist, the hyped up good guys turn out to be incapable of beating a single bad guy.

Oh, no, wait, that's not the word I was going for.

Predictable. Yeah.

Jesus Christ, you don't introduce super lethal stage 4 magic cancer only to get rid of in a panel latter. That's loving dumb even by Fairy Tail standards.

I'm also not sure what to think about Fairy Tail's love of friendship when it keeps insisting that Aquarius isn't a hateful bitch to everyone and is Lucy's best friend.

I guess we could say that in the E.N.D. it doesn't even matter, Crawling in Natsu's skin these wounds have already healed.

Yeah, I really hope Zeref wasn't all smug about this being Natsu's only chance to kill Zeref because he knew his beloved reanimated brother was a couple hours from a grisly surprise cancer death.

That key is lost forever.
But it's kinda silly to assume there wouldn't be a key ever again, there'd be none by now.
And like they said, it could literally anywhere in the world. It's easily "and then Lucy traveled the world" epilogue fodder.

It could be anywhere in the world, but there's no way it isn't within like 2 baths, max, of whenever they actually go look for it.

Oh hey, remember when Natsu got cured of the cancer immediately after finding out magic cancer exists? Yeah, Mirajane found this weird key in her bra at the same time *flashback to Mirajane taking off her bra*

What's funny is that Mashima is setting this up as some epilogue stuff and then 5 chapters from now or whenever Lucy is next in trouble he'll magibabble some way for her to stumble on to Aquarius' new ring to save her and still have nothing for her to do in the epilogue.

She will be the guild master in the epilogue because I have decided it.

Iirc, Aquarius said they could never meet again. But she also said that she wouldn't die. To me, that implied Aquarius and her key would come back, but could never be under the ownership of Lucy.

Only a long running shounen series that has had several bad arcs can make people cheer at something like this chapter happening. It's like with Bleach and Aizen coming back in his chair, or if Ichigo has to climb back up yet again.

I've always loved the fact Fairy Tail can just switch gears and someone gets dunked on or pulls out total bullshit to win. That's one of the earliest elements of the writing, back when it looked like knock off One Piece and there wasn't even much T&A (relative to now)

But also yes, it is bad.

ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
I can't help but be impressed by Mashima's work ethic though. Dude puts a ton of pages out a week and sometimes does multiple chapters.

The only person that's even possible to die is Natsu and I don't think that's likely at all.

I can think of a couple characters that would be on the chopping block. Laxus, Gildarts, Mirajane, Lyon, Sting, Rogue, and Jellal all spring to mind as important enough to make an impact but disposable enough to not cause too drastic of a stir. Like there's no way Erza or Lucy are biting it. Gray possibly, but I highly doubt it.

literally no one cared that neji died because even Kishimoto didn't really care about nearly the rest of the leaf squaddies for like 70% of the manga

Like someone told me he died, I looked at the chapter, and I laughed because at that point who really cared about Neji anymore?

I cared more about two sand village randos who were I guess from some movie getting unceremoniously and lamely killed off by some bullshit than I did about Neji.

Gray already died. I think Laxus and perhaps Sting and Rogue did as well.

Gildarts seems a likely candidate since half of his guts are anime bandages from a previous run-in with arcnologia or whatever
