Fairy Tail Zero 7 is up. The appearance of a dark wizard!
Heh, that's a lot of interesting.

And we still don't get much of any indication whether or not Zeira's really alive. As far as I know, no one other than Mavis has interacted with her, but then we have flashbacks of her surviving the massacre.
Hades mentions her. He says that all they got from Tenrou Island was two useless brats. And I mean, it looks to me that Zeref taught her magic.

Fairy Tail 420

Idol Wendy and human Charla. I'm kinda hype now, if only because it's possible that Happy might get a human form too.

Please let him get a human form.

Is it at all weird that I feel pity for those guys planning to attack the festival?

New chapter is out over at mangajoy. It seems to heavily imply that Natsu is at or above Gildart's level now. And Lucy has a pretty cool new technique.
 
Well, Gildartz pre time skip level yeah, also EVERYONE can fight mooks now... except Happy. Poor little cat boy. Should have worked on beatdowns instead of self-control!

Well I didn't expect for that character to show up again in this manner.

Given the fact that Grimoire Heart seems to have bowed down to Zeref after he killed Hades, and the title of the next chapter it looks like the Black Mage is going to be involved.

Or maybe he broke with Grimoire Hearts after Hades death, and this is him going of on his own?

Plus Lucy's new "power" looks like it could be very interesting down the line.

So in all this chapter had plenty of interesting "teases" for the future.
 
Given Lucy's new power I'm kinda even more sad that Aquarius is gone for good. Though the possibility of her glomming onto some of the Celestial Spirit King's power is also interesting.

Well, this chapter confirmed my suspicion: Natsu is on a completely different tier than Gildartz now. One shotting a full powered Bluenote without even beginning to use his own fullpower. Even Bluenote himself noted Natsu to be incredibly dangerous just by his presence and compared him to Gildartz.

Though, it's probably because Gray left on a journey too and she's depressed cuz of that, but still...

Or utterly hilarious. I can almost see people hearing Natsu is E.N.D., looking carefully at NAtsu, and going "Naaaah, must be a mistake".
 
Personally I'm more concerned at just how ridiculously powerful E.N.D. is going to be once his power is unleashed from that book. E.N.D. in the past was something Igneel was unable to defeat and Acnologia was terrified, and before Gildarts was the only one able to fend off Acnologia amongst the humans. Now Natsu is on his level, has a personal grudge against Acnologia, and we know he's E.N.D.. His power level will be off the charts once he becomes E.N.D., which I'm pretty sure we all know is coming, and frankly I wonder if that's what Zeref wanted in the first place.

After all, if E.N.D. was created to kill Zeref, then... well, Zeref had a hell of a chance of making E.N.D.'s return a reality, but he didn't. He wants Natsu to become stronger. I can't help but think that's connected.
 
I wonder. I'm kinda thinking we might see a twin fight of some sort. END vs the Fire Dragon Slayer sort of thing. Demon Magic Vs Dragon power, if you get where I'm coming from here. As Natsu gains power so too does END, but END is distinct from the identity that is Natsu Dragneel, so they end up fighting and since this is Fairy Tail it's in separate bodies with a HILARIOUS amount of collateral property damage.
 
My speculation on those lines was more like... well, given the appearance of certain demons, like Mard Geer, and on the appearance of Acnologia, I can't help but wonder: did Zeref base demons off of dragons? Is dragon magic and demon magic the same?

If so, was Igneel's attempt at creating antibodies in Natsu not just to prevent him (and by extension the other dragon slayers) from becoming a dragon like Acnologia, but also to help prevent him from becoming E.N.D. once more?

424 is out. Plot twist ahoy.
Not that much of a plot twist to me, more of a partial confirmation of a gut instinct I've had for sometime now.
 
Well, it's not a huge plot twist, but I think most of us were expecting Gray to be off training on his own, or hunting down leads on Zeref; however, it's entirely possible he's doing just that, considering his father was doing the same thing with END.

I guess the interesting thing we have to ask is who is the biggest threat, END, Zeref or Acnologia. Acnologia did seem to be making an active effort to kill Marde and destroy END's book; whether that was just a matter of prudence or genuine fear is up for speculation. And Zeref fully expects END to destroy him, but again, whether he's going to battle END or just means END is the only one with enough power to actually hurt him is the question. Right now, my money is on END being the strongest character in the manga.

Outside of Acnologia, the strongest dragon we've seen has been Igneel, and he was battling with only a fraction of his actual power. Chances are good that he's on par with Acnologia. And he was said to be unable to beat END, and Atlas Flame implied that END is the greatest threat he knew of. I personally can't wait to see it all go down.
 
Everyone in the story always remarked on how Igneel couldn't beat E.N.D.. That was the wording used. But given how Igneel ended up raising Natsu, I always wonder if that "couldn't beat E.N.D." was meant to imply that he couldn't bring himself to destroy Natsu, rather than lacking the power to do so.
 
That's the question. I'm thinking it's a combination of things. If I had to guess, I think Zeref probably played a bigger role. For one, the book of End is supposed to trigger his transformation/release. And given that Zeref is actually a really kind person who doesn't want to hurt anyone but is resolved to; I think there's a chance he helped seal END to give Natsu a chance at being a happy person. Given how powerful END is implied to be, it's likely he couldn't just seal him completely or destroy him, and Im thinking it's probably true of Igneel too. But once Natsu was sealed, Igneel took him in hoping to train him into an ally of humans. Kind of like Uub at the end of DBZ.
