Serious Frolicking posted:Well, except for the sense part. It's not completely non-sensical. E.N.D. is someone Igneel couldn't kill, or perhaps, could not bring himself to kill. Natsu is over 80 years old or something. Zeref was waiting for Natsu to kill him on Tenroujima. The same Natsu who was still wishing he could beat Erza (Not to disparage Erza mind you.) And E.N.D. is the strongest demon Zeref created. Silver mistook Atlas Flame for a demon and went kinda overkill to freeze him. Silver recognized Natsu's name at least and threw him in jail instead of killing him. Only E.N.D. or Natsu are allowed to meet him. Perhaps because the two are mutually exclusive. It's not without flaws but it's not the most outlandish theory I've heard.

Gyges posted:This is a world where Jellal convinced everyone that he was totally not Jellal but another magic dude who just happened to look exactly like Jellal. Also at the same time there was another Jellal running around also claiming not to be Jellal, though at least he was honest since he was just alternate dimension Jellal. Except he really didn't have to convince anyone except Erza that he wasn't Jellal because no one even knew who Jellal was or why they should care if he is or isn't some guy named Jellal.

Only she did not save the day. She got her rear end kicked and accomplished nothing. Did you also get upset when Charlie Brown failed to win the spelling bee? Do you run a Cobra Kai dojo?  ("You're nothing! You lost! You're a loser!")But seriously, I think you missed the point on that one. Cana's arc was finally letting go of her anxiety about failing to meet her imagined impossible expectations of being Gildart's daughter. It would have been awful if Cana resolved that by being handed an ability that let her KO someone out of her weight class just so that she could feel she was suddenly a worthwhile enough human being to deserve a father.

I don't know, Mashima doesn't focus enough on the lesser cast for me to get that right away. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was just thinking when reading the side chapter with Asuka that the Bisca in the flashback reminded me of "Rouge." And I think Bisca was also an immigrant or something. Where was it explicitly said it was supposed to be about Bisca though? I don't doubt that it's her, but it sounds like I didn't read Something.

I had to go back and check to figure out who the person on the bottom middle panel of page 22 was. Turns out I completely missed the detail that Kyouka's helmet was breaking apart. I wonder if Silver and Keith [Skeleton Guy]'s total lack of concern about what happens to Grey means Silver isn't Future Grey. That would be nice.

I hope Lamy wasn't vaporized, she's fun. chumbler posted:Not in the sense of getting wrecked by him, but yeah he's going to job out so Natsu can win. I dunno, this arc's main main-bad has yet to show up assuming E.N.D. is a unique individual we haven't seen. Natsu doesn't have to beat the #2 guy also. And I don't think this is an instance where someone else will deal with E.N.D., given his apparent connection to Zeref and Natsu. I don't deny that he might end up jobbing though. Unless not showing the #2 guy until recently was supposed to diminish his importance in this arc. Since he hasn't been built up for that long, it would be less disappointing for him to go down against his first opponent. And if the Spirit King loses already, where does she go from here in terms of power upgrades? She already can't use this all the time unless it takes like a half hour to reforge those golden keys. Lucy running out of juice as you said seems like a convenient way around that for now.

So Lucy managed to wreck up the baddies fortress, defeat in one attack someone Natsu struggled with earlier, and at least temporarily disabled the #2 guy. Not bad! Seems like just yesterday she was getting nope.avi'd to lose even fights she seemed capable of winning.EvilTaytoMan posted:New Chapter Normally I'd be mad about that but with this manga I'm just  Serious Frolicking posted:So the son of a demon with ice powers got picked up by an ice mage completely by coincidence. It'd make more sense if Silver was Ur's husband, meaning that he is technically Gray's adoptive father. But well, that's fairy tail for you. It is rather convenient, but at least there's some connection between the two if you consider that Gray's village was destroyed by a demon of Zeref. I wonder how that got there! Plus he lived up north around snowy parts IIRC, so there's that too. It stands to reason both an Ice Demon Guy and an Ice-Make Mage would prefer that climate.

I like the show but no matter how good an anime is I'll probably tune out after 100 episodes of dragging rear end with out any progress. It takes a really long while but eventually a clearer picture of the main plot emerges.

I think there's still more to this. When we first saw him he was visiting a grave. I doubt the demon Deliora gives two shits about any dead humans given how many of them he's killed. Nor would he have any reason to be glad "Natsu" unfroze the giant town. Or give Lisanna some clothing.

I.. guess you could say "Keith/Skull Man made him do it" to answer some of the questionable actions Silver did but that still leaves the "Filthy/disgusting name" line in reference to Gray as making little sense (Unless someone wants to dig up the raw to see if multiple translators got it wrong!) Oh wait, he had enough free will to do other stuff like slaying demons or freezing villages on his own. I guess Mashima just wrote himself into a corner.  *EDIT* Oh and what about these: -Silver being familiar with Natsu I guess he could have seen him on the Lacrima TV if that's how he found out about Grey, but I dunno, since he called him by name he sounded more familiar with him than he should have been, as opposed to "Oh it's one of Grey's guildmates." -Silver being in his "human" form Early on someone commented on him being in human form (That it was UNUSUAL even.) Well that suggests he has a non-human form, doesn't it? But if he's not really Deliora then he doesn't really? Oops? Zogundar fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Jul 18, 2014 |

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:So it's pretty much outright implied that the other girl is dead and only Mavis can see her, yeah? I'm not sure what's up with that. That was my initial reaction too, especially considering I was surprised to see her alive in the first place after what happened in Chapter 1. But if she were a ghost it'd be weird that she'd age, and Yuriy does seem to be talking to her after his initial surprise.

Fairy Tail Zero Chapter 5: So is Zeira confirmed alive now, or is she just a really, really, complicated illusion that Mavis doesn't even realize she's projecting? I still don't think she's been directly acknowledged by anyone and that scene with Yuriy when Mavis introduced her still feels fishy. I think one of the guys said "couple of brats" in the last chapter but he could have been humoring her I guess?

Rodyle posted:That was sort of inevitable but it kind of seemed like Acnologia just... suddenly got the upper hand even though he'd been getting swatted around that whole time. Also drat it you can't just wander off without showing what END is. I guess we've got the other dragons to maybe explain why it's important to just take END and not destroy it though. Eh, I think that was more Igneel getting increasingly desperate/reckless than actually coming close to defeating him. It got some results but this is the price for them. You could tell early on he was outmatched when his "let's nuke the page" attacks had no effect. Agree about END though. I guess having him come out and having another fight without developing his character at all would be awkward and it's pretty late into the arc. Nilbop posted:Zeref is one of the blandest villains I've ever seen. Everything about him is boring; design, mannerisms, the nonsense foreshadowing-talk he spews, he's just *awful.* I was secretly agreeing with you in the Bleach thread before but I must unsecretly disagree with you here.  I like the reverse-Voldemort thing he's got going on.

Gyges posted:Nope, the dragons have been dead for years if not centuries and it was only their ghosts that were living inside the Dragon Slayers. So Igneel died before the comic even started, perhaps you could go so far as to count the dragons disappearing as their death, which makes it a flashback death and not covered by the no deaths rule. How did ghosts the raise the Dragon Slayers? I got the impression that was not a two week or even two month summer camp, but that they actually raised them as surrogate parents for years.

Man with all of these posts I wondered what on Earth had happened in the middle of the week. Was a new chapter of Zero out? The poo poo was about to hit the fan. Oh man, something amazing must have happene- Oh, there's two chapters + 2 extras of Ice Trail out today. *Ice Trail 7 + 8 Spoilers* Oh it turns out Gray and Juvia had an almost-meeting as kids. Oh it turns out Gray and Lucy also had an almost-meeting as kids. ..but then it turns out no one was even talking about that. It was all just a coincidence.  MonsterEnvy posted:Well you learn of some dickish things that Brain did later on with Ultear, but yeah he is not particularly interesting. I think that was only in the anime, so whether it's canon is questionable. That said I wholly approve of the anime's decision to sneak back in the original decision to make Faust the Edolas Makarov. I still don't get why Mashima's editor wouldn't let him do that.

Chapter 426 So one of the Avatar members is a secret traitor, but it's totally not Gray because he's way too eeeeviiiiil. And so much for Ultear dying at the end of the Grand Magic Games arc. I guess she's still an old woman? I hope Juvia recovers before this arc ends, it'd be a waste if she sat out the whole time.

Anyone here watch the anime? They recently finished with filler and started the Sun Village arc. Immediately after the last filler episode, I'd swear everything starting with the preview for the next episode(s) suddenly had a different look to it. Everything looks faded or washed out or something. Chapters 427 & 428 Well that escalated quickly (And de-escalated just as quickly.) For a minute there I thought Mashima was having a "Let's go ride bikes" moment where he'd already gotten bored of the latest rogue's gallery and was ready to wrap things up.

Hmm.. I'm not convinced Gray is on the up and up just yet. That is, I'd rather believe there's more to things than "He was a spy" instead of "Mashima already forgot that Gray was going to kill Frosch." At the very least I expect some voodoo to force him to throw icicles at people. Possibly Gajeel; after all, they already went to the trouble of making him think he'd have to fight Gray. Bonus points if Erza is also a double secret traitor with Gray. If this were a different series I'd be concerned for Happy instead, but there's approximately a 0% chance of anything bad happening to him (That won't be taken back later.) This ain't Harry Potter. It's just as well, the whole "death of innocence" thing doesn't really belong here and is its own tired cliche anyway.

Did becoming END turn him into an adult, and when he was defeated by Igneel he turned back into a kid? I don't understan-

I was disappointed that Mashima apparently forgot Mirajane was supposed to have been a hellraiser when she was younger for that flashback in the Tartaros arc. You might argue she only became like that after the flashback, but it seems more likely that Mashima just forgot. Carlton Minter posted:I would actually love to see how Mirajane fights at full strength or when she goes all out on someone. I would also love if we could see Mirajane on an S Class quest. In my opinion Miriajane is on another level than Erza with her Demon/Satan Souls and all. Wasn't one of those Fairy Tail spinoff manga supposed to be about Erza and Mirajane?

The latest episode of Fairy Tail has a filler (Or is it padding?) plot that reveals (Assuming this is canon) what happened to Rusty Rose of Grimoire Heart after the Tenroujima arc. A burning question that has no doubt been on everyone's mind. I almost got mad because in the preview it looked like they brought back Zancrow (Who died) and Azuma (Who also died.) And then on top of that it ended up not being a flashback to before the Tenroujima arc. But then I remembered his magic power and sure enough... Nahxela posted:Yeah, it was something like that. I think he was dead and then one of the Oracion Seis revived him without his memories? It was Wendy who revived him (She knew Mystogan and thought that was him, so part of his 'amnesia' was due to being the wrong Jellal.) Also Siegrain wasn't a clone, nor was he killed, it was just a magical projection. MonsterEnvy posted:The entire Tower and Jellal, Erza and the Seis being slaves there was pointless as the guy was not dead. They suffered as part of Ultear's plan to distract the Magic Council from Grimoire Heart's activities. Hilariously, Master Hades himself later fell victim to the same trap of believing bogus facts about Zeref and doing a lot of pointless work because of it.
