But the flashback said it was just a kiss, and Mavis wouldn't lie about her relationship with Zeref, right?

So when I said this, I was being kinda sarcastic, and that Mavis did in fact lie about her relationship with Zeref.

I'm only saying this because I'm like 2 for 3 in FT predictions in this thread, and I want to put my official prediction for what's going on now as Zeref took a bit of Mavis (like 3 hairs or something), combined it with a bit of himself in the same thing he grew Natsu in, and some time later, Rakheid.

I'm going to talk about Gajeel, my favorite character, now.

I remember thinking his name was Gazelle early on.

I still think Redfox is not that good of a last name, yet I have no problem at all with Gazelle.

Either way I wish he hadn't gotten the shaft in power creep.

Sorta goes without saying.

Gajeel was so cool at the beginning of the Tenrou arc, fighting off 2 dudes at once - chicken head and the other guy - but then that's his whole contribution during that arc, while the rest of the cast get to beat up God Slayers and whatever.

loving power creep.

I'm hoping you're right, but knowing Mashima it will probably be horrifically gross.

Don't forget about his fight with Rogue in the Magic Games. "Let me remind you why you feared me" is a wonderfully metal line.

I loving love Gajeel and I'm glad his relationship with Levy worked out.

The Magic Games had some really great scenes.

I think my Top 1 is Ezra soloing the entire dungeon herself, and my Top 2 is Laxus beating the poo poo out of the entire Dark Guild run by his dad.

Ironically I barely remember anything about the plot of the Magic Games.

Why the gently caress are they listening to that old lady telling them that Lucy getting naked and rubbing up on unconscious Natsu is going to do loving anything to help him survive. Like, why the gently caress would that help anything?

It wouldn't be as effective as a fire or another high heat external source, but getting naked with someone entering hypothermia for maximum skin contact while under thermal layers, like a blanket, is an emergency survival strategy. 98.6 degrees of skin contact is effective enough at stabilizing the beginnings of hypothermia.

Of course, in this situation you'd want multiple naked people under some blankets with Natsu. Probably not Grey, but everyone else including the cats and the old lady would be a valid emergency treatment for Natsu's falling body temperature. Ideally after they do some quick cardio/calisthenics to get their own body temperature up.

Jerking off is the core writing mechanic of the whole manga. Jerk off, hang with your friends, and draw some rad dragons. That's the ethos of the manga.

Zeref's staunch stance against all three things is why he's the big bad of the series.

I mean sure but this stuff is just dull and crappy

Didn't we cliffhanger off Erza's identity or something? Level of this writing I assume we're going to come back to them both half-naked after skipping that explanation

Well, Eileen's identity, but yes 5 chapters ago we ended on the identity cliff hanger. Also Eileen and Erza are already half naked. Erza was wearing her boob bandages and pajama pants outfit, while Eileen was in her Dragon's Crown, but skimpier, cosplay.

Acnologia is the one who's against everything this manga stands for. Zeref's mood is a little trickier.

Zeref's mood depends on things like the weather, how hungry he is, if he read a really great book recently, if he's holding in a nasty fart, etc.

Wasn't there a thing about who Erza actually is or something? It's hard to remember Fairy Tail.

I thought Zeref's core problem was that he couldn't hold in his nasty farts that kill everything around him and that's why he wants to kill everyone.

They're not in a snowstorm and Natsu literally eats fire. Just throw him in a goddamn bonfire.

Logically sound.

Can't kill everyone if you've already killed anyone.

Way back when it seemed that Natsu might not still have been over Lisanna. But I think at this point, you can say it's just because Natsu and Lucy are idiots who refuse to admit they wanna bang.
