I like Ichiya and think Acnologia is a boring villain but I agree with him. The comic is almost over and Ichiya coming back can't really offer anything he hasn't already done. Him staying dead at least gives some weight to his actions and events in general. Conversely, Acnologia's defeat feels too sudden and anti climactic. Bringing him back is unlikely to make him any more interesting or entertaining, but it might at least give Natsu and other characters a chance to be.

It's a crack in the sky by Wendy, obviously it means we're bringing everyone back to life and the dragons are back. That's where Natsu is, getting a burger with Igneel.

If Mashima wanted to end it right, the last 8 chapters would be nothing but rad dragons.

My bet is Acnologia basically yells uses a breath attack to force his way out of the hyperbolic time chamber rifts of time, which also allows Ichiya to escape.

At least it kind of makes sense, if you squint, that this happened.

Next chapter it turns out Zeref and The 1st didn't get taken to heaven, they got sucked into the Ravines of Time with the dragon slayers.

Sort of. Instead of being taught by a dragon, he had a Dragon Slayer Lacrima inserted in his body (don't ask me where Dragon Slayer Lacrima come from). Eric/Cobra also became a Dragon Slayer this way. God Serena underwent a similar process, but instead of one Lacrima, he had eight, allowing him to use eight different elements. Sting and Rogue are "Third-Generation Dragon Slayers" who were taught by dragons and have Lacrima. In terms of powers, though, it doesn't seem to make much difference.

To be fair pretty much everything implied it was some kind of alternate dimension and those two wouldn't've died but rather were just stuck inside for eternity.

Which would've been a worse fate if they hadn't been kicked out.

Has any reason been given as to why Acnologia wants to destroy everything? Or is he just doing this because why not?

Spiderdrake
May 12, 2001



I mean, it's Fairy Tail, so usual caveats... But it is implied that he fought in a genocidal war and the reward was mistreatment and mental illness from being a dragon slayer. Except he is the biggest, baddest cannibal dragon slayer so I assume he's got it real bad.

Or maybe he used to drive magical race cars before the war and the vertigo from his dragon slayerism forced him into early retirement, at which point his harem of buxom lasses rejected him. It's Fairy Tail after all.

A dragon killed the lady with the rockingest titties and tightest rear end in the world, so he killed all the dragons. He's spent centuries looking, but the world just isn't worthy of existing without dem titties and dat rear end, so he's going to raze it all to the ground.

Just as everything seems lost, Lucy's cloths will be destroyed and he'll be distracted by them perfect globes and that pert peach. Turns out the babe he's killing the world over is yet another one of Lucy's ancestors who looks almost the same as her. Those Heartfilia genes are unstoppable.

It's almost certainly going to turn out dragon Acnologia doesn't get motion sickness because the dragon slayer part is off duking it out with the other dragon slayers in the rifts of time.

Alternately, both get sick because that would be funnier.
