Fairy Tail Series IV Discussion
-
-
Why? Natsu's the worse character. Lucy's mostly just plain and inoffensive, Natsu is outright annoying.
If Natsu shoved his J cup tits into every other panel and made sure we could see up his skirt at every possible moment, he'd be up that high.
-
Re-reading the chapter and for some reason I felt that the Zeref/Mavis pages were trying to resemble Meruem and Komugi so hard…
-
Is… is that actually it? Have we actually reached some sort of ending for this series? The heck are the remaining 9 chapters supposed to be about?
-
@Your:

Fairy Tail being a bunch of misfits.
-
If this was a good series I would love the idea of an 8+ chapter epilogue, but this isn't a good series so, meh.
-
The dragon coming back one last time? Natsu suddenly dying? Villagers rising up against mages? 9 chapter long hotspring arc lol.
-
Ahaha, unlimited magic power my ass! One fire punch with just fancy name and it's already exhausted? What a joke. Ok, since Zeref dissolved into fairy dust alongside with Mavis, that means Natsu's gonna die too right? RIGHT? Also, why can't Makarov just stay fucking dead. It's already shit enough when he didn't abruptly come back to life, now he's back for no apparent reason other than as big middle finger for anyone who believed for a moment that he was the casualty in this so-called war.
Wait, we still have more chapters? There will be CONTINUATION beyond this? Wow, talk about beating dead fairy horse…
-
Wasn't the demon seed the reason for the life link? Without the seed Natsu is free.
There's the Lucy issue as well, the book was hurting her.

I'm getting the impression that Zeref still said that despite knowing that someone was actively trying to rewrite END's Book behind his back. The guy conveniently knows about everything going on too, so it's safe to assume that he too knew what was happening inside Natsu and what the result was.
Mavis didn't even reassure anything when Zeref brought up the possibility of Natsu dying with him, as if the "Double Suicide Kiss" thing would solve just about anything. Well, Makarov was revived too… somehow, so maybe it did solve everything.
-

Wait 10 chapters. The fairy horse is probably alive.
-

A 9 chapter hotspring arc would be the only acceptable ending.
-

Spoiler: All that letter and whatever-stuff coming from the book gets absorbed by the true protagonists of the manga - Lucy's tits and ass. Resulting in even bigger tits and ass for Lucy and Mashima delivering the ultimate tits and ass shot in the final panel of the final chapter.
-
Finally mustered the willpower to catch up these last 3 chapters.
As someone here said some time ago, FT is one of the rare manga that you can expect nothing from and still end up disappointed. Wouldn't even know where to start.
The only decent bit was Zeref and Mavis struggling with that contradiction curse in the end. It's really an interesting concept. One that could have been explored a lot better in the hands of someone a little more creative.

Looks like most of us were correct.

I thought you were referring to the springbath stuff :ninja:.
But yeah, Natsu ain't dead. There is just no way Mashima would have the balls to do that.
-
Was that supossed to elicit emotions from me?
-
So Natsu "died" as well all of a sudden and the evil dragon is coming back? At least the dragon's end wasn't THAT anticlimatic. Let's see if there is a proper end to this with the dragon slayers fighting it together one last time. Oh who am I tricking? It's going to be a bunch of senseless crap anyway…
-
Yes, it was. However, in some instances even the wording itself gives blatantly away why it just doesn't work.
Like 'It's quite a nostalgic feel to be back again despite being there just minutes ago.'
-
A bunch of senseless crap AND a masterful piece of art emphasizing on displaying every female's tits AND asses simultaneously. I'm so hyped for that!
-
So we taking bets about whether or not Ichiya and Anna are still alive? If Acnologia wasn't coming back and Makarov didn't live, I might have betted on them being dead, but all things considered I will say they are most definitely alive.
As for the actual events, I would've preferred just a long prolong to having Acnologia coming back. Sure, his "defeat" was anticlimactic, but at least it was over.
-
Do not despair. This time, at least, we know for sure that it'll be over in 2 months, instead of a new arc rising from the ashes and lasting another 2 years and so.
-

Totally agree! I mean, seriously, Acnologia is boring and generic as fuck. He is strong, really strong, but that's just it, really.
-

True that. At least Zeref had his cute story with Mavis and yada yada, this guy just came out of nowhere and he's suddenly the biggest threat to humanity because… one day he became really strong. I'd rather have that 8 chapter-long hotspring arc, iykwim :ninja:
-
To quote the wikia:
Acnologia's motives are also shrouded in mystery
So, seriously, what's even the deal of him?!
But do we really know he's not done for? I mean the next title 'Collapse of the world' could also be linked to Natsu's fate. As basically the whole world of Fairy Tail solely consists of pure Fairy Tail-Nakama-Power and therefore the world will collapse together with Natsu.

Well, the last page shows something that looks like the sky breaking, and my only assumption that that Acnologia is coming out of the timey whimy thing.

Acno defeated in 4 chapters with a "Punch of Emotions".
That's my official bet.1 chapter for him to return and everyone gets shocked.
2 is for everyone to get defeated
3 is for Natsu to come back from whatever kind of Limbo Mashima characters go to.
4 is for feelings.@The:

You mean Ichiya is coming back with Acnologia's corpse, right? It's a common mistake.
-
Okay, that really looks like Acnologia. So let's make bets what last minute motivation will be shoved in for him.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
You mean Ichiya is coming back with Acnologia's corpse, right? It's a common mistake.
That's the best what can happen, really. Then one chapter Natsu shenanigans and then our anticipated hot spring conclusion. Maybe beforehand also resolve the Aquarius issue because… even more hot spring action, yay!!!
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Well, my bet for his motivation is something generic like 'GROOOOOOAR! You humans just are so wicked and evil and do unforgivable things like slavery and therefore you totally are not allowed to exist!'
Which,, of course, screams for FT nakama super powers to totally convince him how wrong he is. (But hey, at least, the slavery subplot which got ditched back in the very first chapter gets mentioned again.)
-
I hope the last chapter is Lucy just shoving her cooter right into the reader's face. More than she's ever done in the entire damn series.
Also Natsu is gone? Hah…we'll see him before this is done.
-
Predictable that Acno was going to return.
Natsu is dead…like how Haru was in Rave Master...right.
Starting next next week we should get a bunch of entertaining chapters until Natsu returns, it will be great seeing Acnologia curbstomping Erza.
-
It'd be cool if he actually died, but sadly…
-
As I read the finale, has there been a more underwhelming long-term shonen villain then Acnologia? He's barely a character.
-
As someone who didn't read Bleach, how does Acnologia compare to Yhwach?
-

Yhwach at least had a fairly interesting bullshit fight against the crazy monk guy, Acnologia hasn't done nothing interesting or factually threatening.
-
As someone who didn't read Bleach, how does Acnologia compare to Yhwach?
Acnologia is much better than Yhwach. He's been an established villain for a long time, at one point I genuinely cared about him and we know what he's supposed to be.
Can't say that for Yhwach. But in his defense watching the mustache grow every chapter was hilarious.
!
-
Neither villains are great, but Acnologia has the cool dragon form. I give Yhwach the leg up just because the stupidity of everything that happened in the final arc was entertaining to an extent, while Fairy Tail's final arc hasn't really given much in the form of it's so bad it's good. Then again, Bleach drained me so perhaps I hit my limit that nothing in Fairy Tail gets me.
-
Well, Amigo asked for long-term villains, but let's also not forget the great Kaguya Outsutsuki in terms of shounen final bosses.
-
Kaguya doesn't count, is either madara, tobi or sasuke.
And ywachs wins, at least I can remember his presence, aknologia could be replaced by "menacing" SFX and improve the manga.
-
^This. At least the final arc in Bleach was focused around Ywhahscs, you actually knew he was the final villain. Acnologia is barely even a character, he's just a black thing flying around looking menacing. He's barely spoken throughout the whole manga and seems to have absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Other than flying around looking menacing. At least Bleach was so bad it was good, Fairy Tail is at a point where it's just… there. Here we have a final arc about Zeref and the mighty super duper powerful empire he's built and these strongest than ever 12 Spriggan and yada yada. And then the final villain is actually this beast who's just been around for a while doing nothing. At least Zeref had a nice story with Mavis and had SOME personality and goals and allies.

Allright, who was the best "Boss" character?
If I forgot one, just put it in:
Fat douche, previous owner of virgo
Leon
Jelloh
Brain/AlterBrain
Senor Jose
Laxus
Hades/Purohito
That king dude from the other reality
Markorov's irrelevant son (invited because he should have gotten an arc, but more out of pitty)
DARK ehm… dragon slayer dude of darknes whose name I don't remember
OhMardgeeer
The 2th timeskip useless dark guild master who became the demon who would beat all demons and Natsu onepunch'd
Zeref
Acknologia -

Should I include daterape notnatsu guy?
Rouge is in as: DARK ehm… dragon slayer dude of darknes whose name I don't remember
-

I think Evil Rogue from the future is DARK ehm… dragon slayer dude of darknes whose name I don't remember. IWell, whatever, he's totally not the best boss chara, anyway.

Zeref
AcknologiaFat Douche: 2/10
I barely even remember this guy. He had some earth related power right? I remember his croonies better. 2 guys that had a giant frying pan.Scythe guy: 5/10
Tipical fooder villain for a first Arc I guess. Not bad, but not good either.Leon: 6/10
He did well in his arc, his relation with Gray was decent for that arc. I liked him more as an ally though.Jose: 6/10
The first big bad. He seemed way over the top in his dumb hate for FT. Still had a couple of good moments.Gajeel: 8/10
Cool design, nice powers, assholish attitude. One of the few characters from this manga I actually like.Jellal: 7/10
Yes, he was around for waaaay too much, but come on, at this point I still considered this manga had some potential, and he played a central role in the story until this point.Laxus: 9/10
It was arguably the best arc from this God forsaken manga.
I liked villain Laxus. His redemption felt like crap, but that's a different character.
He was shown enough for us to know him and be curious about him. He was an S class member and the only one we saw in action was Erza. His design is simple but cool. He was cocky and borderline insane. His fight with Natsu wasn't bad at all. The conclusion of the Arc was at least slightly heartwarming. That's what happens when you actually try to build something MashimaBrain: 4/10
The fuck was this all about? His powers were basically the same as Jose's.
I guess my biggest problem with this guy is that he is part of the first really bad arc this manga had. Tough luck.Edolas King: 3/10
I don't even recall your name. You were forgetable and so was your robot dragon.Hades: 8/10
At least he has some background. His motivations felt justified, he had a decent design and felt like a genuine threat before getting Mashimaed.Ultear: 8/10
Why not? She was around for quite a while. Had a mysterious presence for big part of the manga before getting hit by the Mashima Special for Terrible Dismisses.
I still liked her backstory and her ultimate dismiss.Ivan: 2/10
LolMinerva: 2/10
LolHayashi Mishima (minerva's father): 2/10
Not even sure I should count you as a major villain… whatever.
LolEvil future Rouge fused with Sting... or something: 1/10
Hahaha, what the fuck was that?Madri Gras: 1/10
You were sooooooo baaaaaaaaaadThat guy that was part of some cult Gray joined for a while: 2/10
I remember he had an helmet and got his ass kicked very quickly. That's something.Zeref: 5/10
At least he was built up properly... only to disappoint us been harder when he sucked bad.Acno: 3/10
This villain has nothing going for him.
He has a boring design, boring appearances, boring presence, boring backstory, boring motivation. -
I liked Eligor for some reason (Scythe guy?).
The man had dignity.
Funny, Natsu defeated him with something Eligor called "flame of emotion" or something like that. His flames got stronger with rage. I don't remember it ever being mentioned. Basically, Natsu's flames became so hot that Eligor couldn't use his wind magic properly.
With time, Mashima mostly dropped the idea of using magic advantages and disadvantages in fights.

Where did you get that from? Didn't you read about the strongest kind of magic? Friendship in the guild! :ninja:

It's basically the same elemental system as in Pokemon. Only that fairy beats everything.
