Considering they needed the 12 zodiac keys, I like the idea of it being the Celestial Realm behind it. Which would probably mean destroying it in order to kill the dragons. The possession thing might just be a fakeout.

Maybe when their dragons disappeared they actually hid inside their respective dragon slayers? And the dragons are older than 80, assumedly.

No we saw Natsu and Wendy's dragons talking in a scene a long while ago. They're physically somewhere else.

Didn't Natsu and the other real Dragonslayers say their dragons disappeared on year 777(it's 791 now)? Did some dragons just choose not to come through the portal? But then if the future Lucy and Sting never showed up Lucy supposedly would've closed the door. But then where did the army of dragons come from? Ugh I hate time travel. And I have a feeling this isn't the end of it either/

What are the chances that the 'favour' Gerard wanted is getting Cobra out of prison? We know he's still around because he was in the anime filler arc Mashima's canonised, and with him we've got seven dragonslayers versus seven dragons.

Cobra and Laxus aren't true dragonslayers though. I wonder if that'll matter.

Wait, back up, what is this bullshit?

Do I actually have to watch the anime now?

And what was that thing on the front page about "Fairy Tail Best" on every week? I thought the anime was canceled?

You probably shouldn't. That was probably also the filler where the serpent he rode was revealed to be a big-breasted teenage girl.

This isn't very hard. In the future, Acnologia destroys everything, so future Rogue goes back in time to create a dragon army to fight Acnologia. This dragon army destroys everything, so future Lucy goes back in time to stop the gate from opening. Which causes Acnologia to destroy the world. It is a time loop.

The only solution is for future Jellal to fix everything.

No, I think it's the other way around.

In Timeline 1 the gate opened and all 10,000 dragons came through. Future Lucy then goes back in time to stop the gate from opening, creating Timeline 2.

In Timeline 2 Future Lucy successfully closes the gate, but Acnologia ends up ruling the world. Future Rogue goes back in time to prevent Future Lucy from closing the gate, creating Timeline 3.

Timeline 3 is the current one. Because of Future Rogue's intervention the future isn't going to be the same as Timeline 2.

EDIT: Oops, mixed up Sting and Rogue.

I'd add the fight between the dragonslayers and the final battle royal where Fairy Tail won without losing anyone.

Also anyone who doesn't think Elfman's fight is worthy of the highlight reel isn't a man.

On the other hand, the lowlights reel would have to include Wendy's and Mirajane's fanservice fights. And the fights in the castle were pretty bad too.

I still think Zeref's backstory is going to involve some time-travel fuckery, considering he knows Natsu somehow and looks very similar to Romeo. Also guessing a split-personality.

By the way, the 80 years old thing isn't exclusive to Natsu anyway. I think it's just like dragonslayers having part of a Dragon's soul in them or something.

Either way that's easily the dumbest theory I've seen in this thread so far.

How could you forget Elfman?

Did anyone notice the foreshadowing between Gray/Juvia before the war started? Gray mentioned he would reveal his feelings after this was over which makes me think one of them might die. Mashima might actually kill someone if this is really the last arc.... but who am I kidding?

Or kill Juvia.

I don't remember the other sword chick though I'm guessing she was the one teemed up with the Owl who fought Natsu and the Rocker who fought Juvia and Lucy during the Tower arc.

Jesus, we finally remember that Natsu had magic cancer and it turns out it wasn't magic cancer this whole time. It was actually way more dangerous than magic cancer, but will inevitably be turned into a power up.

Since Lucy is technically the protagonist of the manga, is there any other protagonist ever who managed never, ever win. Not even once?

Lucy has won before though? She certainly doesn't have a great record but she's not Renji.

it seemed like the life shortening effect of fairy law was basically per target so if you use it on one or a hanndfull of dudes then yeah it's no big deal maybe a couple of days less who cares but against a million or so strong army then woops you died.

If 100 people=1 day then a million people would be 10,000 days, which is about 27 years. Since Makarov is really old already...
