I wonder what's behind that gate that's so heinous.

Oh, right. Shows how little I care about Fairy Tail's plot. I'm here for the fire-punching and the hip-tumors, not a deep and compelling story! :downs:

Exactly. I look forward to Natsu punching dragons with fire. It will be glorious.

I'm taking a somewhat more pessimistic happy ending for Future Lucy here actually. I think she's still dead. It's just that she's re-united with the rest of the Fairy Tail which is kinda like heaven for her at least.

That future is definitely going to change though.

I agree. I was actually quite unhappy with the original result but this is much better while still being a sacrifice

Frankenstein Dad posted:

I dunno about that. I feel like instantly aging to 90 or however old is still a gigantic sacrifice and maybe a bit more interesting than just dying. It's not often that I'd praise Mashima's characterisation, but I think it rounds out her arc nicely. She essentially sacrificed her life as it was, but still got the opportunities to appreciate that what she did wasn't in vain and enjoy her redemption. Keep in mind that immediately after casting the spell, she thought the effect was so minimal that it was totally useless. I guess what I'm saying is that this isn't Berserk. It would feel really out of place if she died thinking her sacrifice was entirely in vain.

Does anyone know who the fourth founding member of Fairy Tail is?

I already know Mavis, Hades and now Warrod. Who's the fourth one?

I assumed that was a young Makarov.

EDIT: But then, he was the second guildmaster, so probably not.

We've seen young Markarov when Hades was a bit older so it's not him for sure. I was wondering if it was touched upon in some other material (like the anime) that I haven't seen.

For Chidori, it's based on this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachibana_D%C5%8Dsetsu

If you've read Naruto, the story will sound familiar.

New Chapter

Hiro Mashima you actually surprised me for once! Wasn't expecting the guild to lie about Laxus saving the town, then show a brief glimpse of the chaos still going on

Whoa this chapter, I shared the same sentiments.

Laxus crushed his opponent but he lost the engagement both in the immediate and in the long-term =(

If I were Natsu, I'd just keep punching explosion dude over and over with the power of EXPLOSION FISTS.

@tsob

Yeah, I thought the same. I hope it's some sort of translation glitch.

As for the cliffhanger, now would be a great time for Gildarts to show up and be the living DEM we know he can be

I enjoyed Natsu using the rock way more than I expected.

Yeah. I love Natsu punching with fire but this was pretty nice. Lucy being useful for once was great too.

Huh, that actually gives both a reason to treat the spirits well like Lucy does as well as a reason to collect the golden keys.

He's also Makarov's grandson and that family line seems to all be powerful.

I honestly enjoy the neat ideas for plot elements that get introduced and then promptly removed one or two chapters later. It's one of the unique things about Fairy Tail.

Huh, Lucy was useful.

The drawback really isn't much of one in most circumstances. There being a cost to using a skill that personally and specifically murders a million people at the same time only costing 27 years of your life seems fair.

Gildarts got owned by Acnologia. Lost an arm, a leg and his guts.
