The Official Relationship/Pairing/Shipping Thread

[jacke12]

What do you think does Natsu have some Feelings about Lisana how can you show it

[Zatono]

Well, seeing what Gildartz said, I'm sure they must of hung out often enough for people to at least make fun of him saying that him and Lisanna were dating or something.

All I know is that the anime is really overplaying their relationship, considering that we don't even know that much about it yet.

[kkck]

I think it was sort of one sided to some extent. Lisana did like natsu while natsu liked her without a full understanding of what that meant. I see it kinda like the chichi-goku relationship.

[Krono]

All I know is that the anime is really overplaying their relationship, considering that we don't even know that much about it yet.

I don't think the anime is overplaying things that much. It's pretty clear they got along at least as well as Natsu and Lucy do, and by his response to Gildartz inquiring about her, her death is painful subject for Natsu to discuss.

I think Natsu had a reasonably full understanding. Unlike Goku, Natsu had enough of a grasp of marriage to be embarrassed when Lisanna started talking about being his bride. That's not to say that he wouldn't be awkward about it though.

[Lee-tyme7]

Well you can clearly see the heart shape of his flame when he saw her alive.
http://beta.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/170/06/

[Newkerzy]

Yup, & in this arc, I predict EdoLisanna will get a deadly injury fighting against the kingdom then Natsu (possibly alongside Elfman & Mira as well) will go on a rampage no one's ever seen him do before. In fact, he'll probably even activate Dragon Force. Only this time this Dragon Force is different. By activating the said DF, Natsu will gain a tremendous-over the top-power-up, in exchange for his sanity. The DF practically turns him into a dragon......

[BiteYourself]

I think Lisanna's death has changed Natsu and made him more funny. It explains why he is so nakama-dependable and try to save everyone in the world.

I couldn't find in the manga, where Natsu was happy in his childhood. May be instead of crying all the time he's keep smiling and trying not to rememb about it.

[monkey D luffy]

i dont think lisana will die, i think she died in earthland because of mirajane, and since mira was nice from the start in edolas she didnt kill lisana, also i dont think natsu really loved lisana since if he was he would never have forgiven mira

[_baka_]

I think it said lisana died on a mission but i do think mirajane was involved becuase obviously it changed her since her personality completely different from when she was a kid earthland version that is

[monkey D luffy]

I think it said lisana died on a mission but i do think mirajane was involved becuase obviously it changed her since her personality completely different from when she was a kid earthland version that is

also when mira turned into satan we saw that she remembers lisana's face all bloody and smiling saying that mira shouldnt worry. and it was probably from mira's POV

[trickster]

According to chapter 55, it was Elfman that was responsible for Lisana's death. He attempted to use a full body take over but lost control which caused Lisana to sacrifice herself to stop him.

[Lee-tyme7]

What about Mira Jane? do you guys think she also like Natsu? Because she always saying how he so cute and all. There is the Happy special too, it kinda make you think she was jealous of Lisana always hanging around Natsu but she twisted it around to sound like she don't like Erza's group. lol.
http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/117.5/11/

[Katea]

Natsu would feel sad over every friend he'd loose in the same way as he feels about Lisanna. I think it was a bit one-sided with Lisanna having a crush on him since their childhood, but Natsu just being very fond of her (though not too much in the romantic way).

[OmegaShunketsu]

well i think he did loved lisana

[OmegaShunketsu]

I don't know if there is another thread about this topic so anyway im here to ask you guys what you think about Natsu amd Lucy liking each other as for myself i think this current edoras arc is giving us some hints about it not to mention all the other things that has happened to them in the past so i dunno what do you think?

[kkck]

Wow, that is a long sentence lol. **cough** punctuation **cough**

I don't think natsu and lucy will develop a relationship. Natsu does not get that sort of thing nor he seems to have interest in girls in that way. If he does get physical with one, it would very likely be a fight. Seriously, he was about to see lucys naked and all he could think about was both of them showering by themselves -not in a sexual way- and them mirroring each others moves -again, not in a sexual way-.

[Lee-tyme7]

Sure he said "Don't take a bath by yourself" he wanted to jump in... lol.XD

[Lee-tyme7]

Well Lisanna did change the way he behaved because he was a loner before she came along. She was the one who bugged him the most now he's keeping her memories alive by passing the behavior onto Lucy. Always buggy her at her home and the constant sexual harassment teasing. XD

[ca12nag3]

Well even Gildarts who is never at base asked about it straight away so its pretty much canon he got feelings for her.
Sadly she is dead tho her death is surounded by mystery, i wonder if she is realy dead or did something like with Ul happen to her as well. There isnt even a sign of how she died only that she was able to calm down her brother who couldnt controle his transform-magic.

[ca12nag3]

I wouldnt know about it realy, Natsu is the Goku typ carefree character if anything serious would develope it has to come from her.

[Krono]

Internal injuries it would appear given the lack of blood everywhere:

http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/117/13/

of course she could look much worse just off panel, but Elfman's fighting style tends more towards crushing damage than clawing damage.

[Poneglyph420]

First off.. Omega, you must hate periods.

Natsu couldn't figure out how to be romantic if he wanted to I'm afraid..

While Lucy is virtually begging for it..

[Newkerzy]

^ Actually....Here (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v21/c176.5/) Now, how does that grab you? I think Mashima is starting to get serious about this couple. The hints are starting to get pretty obvious. Now, the only problem is if he can come to terms about Lisanna.

[ca12nag3]

Wonder if that story should be seen as canon, like the Happy egg story ( wich has already made it to the anime)

[Newkerzy]

umm... yes it does, remember that we were reminded about Natsu & Lisanna through Gildartz's appearance chapter.

[ca12nag3]

Im not saying it shouldnt be but with other series *specials* are disgarded sometimes. O well what am i saying.
Its a great sidestory, maybe the anime will put it in were Lucy is atm (something of a flashback) Good idea?

The tree blossoms that realy is a nice + funny romantic gesture of Natsu lol.

[kkck]

I think the omakes are generaly cannon.

[jacke12]

For me Natsu x Lucy lame and boring it sould be more interesting than that

[Lee-tyme7]

They're best friends.

[ca12nag3]

Hmm this thread is (NatsuxLucy) not (Natsu and Lucy are best friends) so i recon a 1liner like that wont do in this thread ^^.
There is enough suport for NatsuxLucy but its also possible that they are just friends. But realy you need to do more then just "claim" that.

[Sherlock Holmes]

considering how their development is rather similar to Rave Master's main characters...And we know how Rave Master's main characters ended...

I'd say they are going to become a couple before the series ends. Keeping this under spoiler tags not to spoil rave master.

[ca12nag3]

Finaly someone with a theoretical idea :P. Well maybe you could explain why they would end up together?
The things i can think off

-Lucy fills in the place Lisanna left open.
-Natsu came to her rescue
-Nastu always in her room
-In the last Omake it was all NatsuxLucy centered.

As anti elements

-Natsu might still feel for Lisanna
-Natsu might see her as a comrad
-Natsu also rescued Erza in a similar matter

I must say most interactions in general are Natsu centered. Well thats about it from me ^^

[Newkerzy]

Well, there's 4 factors that you stated was Pro-NatsuxLucy compared to the anti-elements that only have 3. So I'd say chances are pretty big for them to end up together.

[Lee-tyme7]

Hmm this thread is (NatsuxLucy) not (Natsu and Lucy are best friends) so i recon a 1liner like that wont do in this thread ^^.

I think I've said enough when I said that they are best friend don't cha think? Beside I didn't say that they are just best friend but they are the best of friends. How many best friends have we all know that have ended up together or even married? There you go...it all started with being as simple as bf. :p

[Ryudeathxxx]

I love Lucy and Loki more

Lucy and Natsu probably just good friends

but in the end of the FT, I don't think sensei will say anything about love!

[Natsu Dragonil]

Well it's not like Natsu is completely clueless when it comes to women.I mean hear in this page he and Gray are blushing when they checked the bathroom to see where Lucy is.
http://media.onemanga.com/mangas/00000022/00000067/16.jpg.

Seeing that the meeting of Natsu and Lucy is like the meeting of Haru and Ellie,I tend to think that Mashima is going to build their relationship slowly like in Rave.

[NAM61]

maybe we know he was interested in a woman before in Lisanna so maybe he will like Lucy eventually.

[kkck]

Was natsu ever interested in lisana that way? Surely lisana liked natsu but you have to remember we are indeed talking about natsu. somehow he does not strike me as of being in love with lisana and do "in love" stuff with her.

[Krono]

Uncertain given how little has been shown of them in the manga. It's clear he cared for her deeply, but whether he cared for her romantically or not is a matter of speculation.

[gimbus14]

For me:
Lucy isn't interest in natsu. Her feeling to him ale same as 1 chapter. She see him more like comrad powerfull one and dummy one.

Natsu don't really look for Girl, and i don;t think he look for one. Now he want to be strong and find dragon. Lisarna was actually one who made first step.

[cleodux]

Well this is cliche, we are talking about Mashima... here... In Rave Master, the three main characters are all have bf/gf at the end lol. One is obvious, another one kind of tragic, and one is actually comrade untill 'you know who' try to claim the girl as his wife, i think thats when he realizes he doesn't like other guys too close to the girl. Well Mashima give so many hints before that, i really like to discover every hints he threw.

But you must now Haru and Natsu are different, in term of characters and personality and so does Elie and Lucy. But it is not impossible... because we are talking about Mashima. Another couple that i know in the making is Erza (that is freaking obvious) but save that for another thread.

And i think Omake considered canon. It will be a long slow painful process untill we got to see Mashima pairs them up. I got a feeling there will be an arc about Lisanna story, and maybe from there we got to see some answer if Natsu actually ever interested in her, and how will Lucy's response.

Meanwhile enjoy the current Edora's arc.

[p1xel]

I want natsuxlisanna:P
I don`t like lucy too much,Erza is better than her:P
So maybe natsuxerza?:PP
I need the next chapter,maybe everything will be revealed:P

[kkck]

I don't think natsu was "in love" with lisana nor was in love with lucy. I mean, look at the guy. I don't think he quite gets it. He does seem to have a special friendship with them though.

[ca12nag3]

Well just before this arc Gildarts said he expected Natsu and Lisanna together (he didnt know she was dead). Natsu does have feelings for Lisanna but its not easy to tell if its just special friendship or still somewhat more.

[Newkerzy]

Well, with what happened in the latest chapter, we'll find out the answers soon, won't we??;)

[kkck]

Well just before this arc Gildarts said he expected Natsu and Lisanna together (he didnt know she was dead). Natsu does have feelings for Lisanna but its not easy to tell if its just special friendship or still somewhat more.

I'd actually expect lisana to have liked natsu quite a bit, at least enough to not think of him as a friend. It's natsu who I doubt...

[kkck]

I really doubt natsu's perception of lisana was even vaguely different from his current perception of lucy. Even other FT members have noted how they have a similar relationship.

[jacke12]

Which paring do you like the most for Natsu: Natsu x Lucy Natsu x Lisanna or Natsu x Erza?

[Drakk707]

Natsu x Lucy, Erza just can't take her eyes off Gerald and there's something weird about Lisanna...I don't like her. Though I don't see any...romantic connection between Natsu and Lucy yet the author have plenty of time to develop it or maybe there won't be any pairings at all and Fairy Tail will just focus on the action...like most shonen do.

[Vengeance]

I always wanted Natsu/Erza to happen though even though there's also Gerald to factor into it. Now that Lisanna is back I don't see that happening :( since they're already pretty much a couple as it stands now. I voted Natsu/Erza anyway though for personal reasons. The only thing Lucy has going for her is that her character design is loosely based on Elie from Rave. Other than that there's no real chemistry between Natsu & Lucy.

[Smit]

Natsu x Lisanna for life. Ever since special chapter about happy's birth i wanted her to come back somehow. They looked so cute together taking care of the egg. And to me they make the most sense.

[Baka_Sousui]

Natsu x Miki Chickentiger
I thought I'd go left field. XD

But honestly, if Natsu was to end up with someone. It'd probably be Lucy. Not cause the chemistry between Lisanna and Natsu ain't strong, but Because Lucy and Natsu both seem to have a greater Purpose that somehow seems to intertwine.

[ca12nag3]

Well the entire relationship stuff with Natsu was based on the fact that he lost his childhood love > Lisanna. Then he met Lucy who cheers him up.
When she jumped the tower in the phantom arc she thought she heard Natsu and cries out for him. This agian is pointing towards Natsu and Lucy.
Finaly you got that small sidestory with Natsu bringing Lucy that tree cause she was sick (as in flowers?)

But then again now Lisanna is back and its (back to the drawingboard).

[p1xel]

Natsuxlisanna wins,soon we will see if he really loves her^^
ErzaxGerard and Lucy sucks^^
So this is the only chance

[mugiwara84]

Natsu x Lisanna, they were just to cute together when they were young. I just prefer the pairing over the other two since like someone else pointed out, Erza just has to much (lingering?) feelings towards Gerard and Lucy denies the fact to much that she likes Natsu. While Lisanna and Natsu's feelings for each other were obvious enough for a person who was even three years away to ask how far they progressed.

[HappyStealer]

Well, if we are going by the thread title then things should get interesting with Lucy-Lisanna-Natsu triangle after the latest revelation. lol

[Anti-panda]

I think personally hope... like Eiichiro oda ... hiro mashima will keep romance out of the fairy tail manga ... At least between guild members .. (oda has stated he doesn't want any romance between strawhat crew members.) .. I personally think it would mess up the dynamic ... I mean thier not just a guild .. they are a family ... and most people don't date thier family.
But more importantly .. it would dramatically change the overall point of the manga ... IF they HAVE to do that ... I hope hiro at least waits until the Very very end of the manga ..
I mean i hate to say it .. but the whole .. erza / gerard dynamic / sexual tension .. really screwed up the whole dynamic of the FT manga for me .. If natsu and lucy started acting all serious and lovey dovey around each other .. it would really botch things up in my opinion ..
And i'm against lisana and natsu simply because ... I don't want the group dynamic broken up ..

But if in the end .. lisana and natsu were together .. I'd have less complaints ..
Even though .. other people have compared natsu's and lucy's relationship to being like that of Natsu and lisana's ... so i might have doubts that natsu and lisana were ever in that kind of relationship at all in the first place ..

[elitefox]

Natsu X Erza

Natsu is the only one that can sense her up to the smallest change in emotion that everybody fails to notice. it's like they are link together. Erza is a tsundere and if Natsu is kinda slow, unless natsu will open up...
They support each other and extinguish each others weakness ;)


and I just can't forget about how epic this is,
http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1875/fairytailnatsusavederza.jpg

The strongest and fairest girl should be with the future strongest mage


I always thought Lucy is for Leo and its better I think


But one thing is, Lisana a new player in the house... so it will get more complicated


so I say it once more Natsu X Erza and Gray X Juvia

P.S. I may be bias since I don't like Gerard. and on he first sight of the manga, I already decided that Erza is best girl for Natsu and Natsu is the best guy for Erza.
[hr]
And on a side note, this thread should be called

"Which female do you prefer for Natsu" since all the pairs are on Natsu

[daman246]

fairy tail will soon change cant wait lucy and lisanna will they get along together since natsu always goes to lucys house to sleep lol it wont be like before

[ShoobyDooBop]

Lucy isn't fit for Natsu...Just look how she dress...she looks like a prostitute,a slut.

[ShoobyDooBop]

Natsu x Lisanna.Everyone of the guild members knows about the relationship of the two and what if Lisanna gets hurt(not physically) if she finds out that Natsu and Lucy have some kind of love relationship?How would Elfman and Mirajane react to that?

[Jet_Alone]

I don't think he has that problem, Gray/Lluvia, the cowboy ones, Erza/Gerard as far as we know.

[elitefox]

If Erza becomes Gerard's lover then I think I'll quit reading and watching fairy tail before its upcoming doom's day. Oh well, just minus one reader, no problem with mashima I guess

[Kaizoku-O Luffy]

Natsu X Erza. Up until gerard arc it seemed as though it was lucy and natsu but after that it kinda changed in my opinion. Lisanna is an interesting mix in this, no idea how she is gonna mix in that little crew (natsu, grey, erza, lucy, happy, wendy, charlie, maybe juvia and gajeel, pantherlily) since it seemed as though lucy was playing the part similar to that of lisanna up until this point.

Had she not dissappered in early in the manga it would've definitely been Natsu X Lisanna. But at this point there is question mark on that.

Lucy will probably end up with loki.

But if at some point gerard come into the story and joins up with FT then there is every chance its Erza X Gerard and Natsu X Lisanna.

[Choutei]

Sorry, but I simply refuse to accept the fact that Lisanna is back... or that she's the real one. That's totally out of... everything. I like her and always liked her, she played a great role in Natsu's developing, and maybe somewhere in the back of my mind I counted on her return, but not in that manner. So I'll go with Natsu x Lucy. Lucy is the kind of character I really dislike, but there's something attracting about her. Also, I believe there's something important going to happen soon for the three of them to help realize their places and where are they standing right now (assuming that Lisanna is well... Lisanna, not some kind of a super galactic spy). As for Natsu x Erza... Dunno really about it. Maybe we haven't seen the last of Gerard, who knows.

[Anti-panda]

I don't think he has that problem, Gray/Lluvia, the cowboy ones, Erza/Gerard as far as we know.

Yeah but grey and lluvia is a unrequited love thing which is more for comedic effect .. the cowboys are so non-central character that it doesn't matter ... and erza / gerard was a tragic romance .. like i said .. i'm just against it for the MAIN cast .. I wouldn't have had a real problem with erza and gerard ,... except it would've made no sense after everything he had done .. and it would've greatly diminished erza's overall appeal ...

Honestly the more vulnerable and timid erza becomes in whatever storyline .. The less I like her .. which is the opposite of my normal reactions ... I like erza early on ... a hard ass .. strong as hell .. woman who gives out the beatings when and where they are needed ... Sorry to rant ^_^ But i'd just like to see her being erza more .. and less a damsel in distress .. I mean she is a S class wizard .. so I don't think her butt should need saving .. even from natsu.

[cleodux]

I still believe Mashima will pairs FT characters up like he did in RAVE. He will drop hints. For example when Virgo gives matching clothes for Lucy and Natsu (Nirvana arc) do you guys see it as a comedic relief or just a small harmless hint? also so far all the omake mostly about Natsu and Lucy, why Mashima go as far to do that.

Chapter 200 we can see another hint, Lucy thoughts about Natsu's feeling of wanting to find Igneel, although end up getting a punch from Natsu.

[vongola_x]

I wouldn't be surprised if Lucy starts to develop some feelings for Natsu somewhere down the line. But, being as dense as a brick when it comes to things like that, Natsu won't realize it haha.

I agree, hints everywhere. I just don't think they will end up together anytime soon. Cause when they do, the manga will end. And we don't want that. They are better off being partners so it will last longer :D.

P.S. I'm putting my money on Lucy. Those 2 are the main male and female protagonist. ;)

I don't agree with this....

I *personally hope and think... like others ... that it is great to have romance in a manga and of course Fairy Tail.
Why do you think that love will *mess up or *break a *dynamic between guild members. Thats a little presumptuous of you don't you think. The *dynamic will only change. ;)

Just a friendly response aight:D

[Dutch]

I prefer Natsu x Lisanna. Great couple. But it is more natural that Natsu will end up with the noisy one.

[Choutei]

To me romance in shonen is a really important part of character's developing. Of course, it's doesn't play the main role and doesn't define the plot like in shoujos, but it makes the characters more believable and human-like... That's at least how I feel about it.
Since we're yet to see any new interaction between Natsu and Lisanna, we can't really tell about the change in their feelings. I wouldn't really count the glomp in 199 (or was it 200?). Just a little more time and we see exactly where are they standing right now.
Maybe this new arc will be some kind of a trigger that'll help them all realize their feelings? I hope so, even if not in the direction I'd like it to go (right now I'm Natsu x Lucy shipper).

It's nothing specific about FT ... but honestly I don't think every anime needs a romantic tie in .. in fact sometimes it's a downright detriment ... I've had tons of anime/manga that got derailed from me enjoying them .. when they tried to introduce romance .. (ex. Code Gease)
While it works in others (Ex. Mahoraba .. Psyren Or Ah my goddess) with flourish.
Now i will say it was well done in Rave. But i don't really find it necessary in FT ...


I have this same issue in american cinema ... there seems to ALWAYS be a romantic subplot ... Did "I am Sam" really need one?

[Dudett]

i think it'll end with natsu and lucy.

i don't have anything against lisanna (geez why are natsu x lisanna fans so HARSH...) but with natsu and lucy it's always like "what the HECK are you doing??? i don't get you at all!" in the little things but when it get's tough they are on the same wavelength without missing a heartbeat. they understand each other wordlessly. it's dynamic :) and natsu just accepted her from the beginning when everyone thought "what are you seeing in her?". i don't believe that she was just a lisanna-replacement. natsu's not the guy for that.

AND they are main male and main female. in rave it worked pretty well. why change that concept? just spice it up with a little love-triangle that came much too late in rave.

[elitefox]

I vote for sisterly love, no more no less ;)

[ghostexiled]

I merged the "Natsu's Feelings for Lisana/Lucy" thread with the "Which Pairings do you prefer?" thread... since the first one was becoming the second one anyway.

[MangaLover]

Natsu x Erza = totally intriguing and sweet :D

[OldSkOoL]

Natsu x Lisanna/Lucy (Honestly can't split these)
Grey x Juvia (I'm sure one day she'll get her Grey-Sama)

[ca12nag3]

What about this one?

GajeelxLevi ?

[OldSkOoL]

It's certainly gaining momentum

[scareChinaman]

Gazille/Levy was always there since he started talking about how smart she was.

I really want to see more Erza/Natsu though,

Fairy Tail is one of those rare manga's where everyone gets ship teased with everyone.

[hongoasdf]

What about when he nailed her to a tree after beating her near-death?

But of course, according to manga logic, such things are easily forgiven.

[kkck]

FT characters in general don't strike me as being the type to hold grudges. I think it was mentioned most of them had troubled pasts so I don't think they would be the type to judge others for their past or mistakes. That said, it is quite obvious he is helping levi because he feels bad about what he did to her.

[ghostexiled]

^Didn't they even address those facts (Gazille destroying the Guild and pinning up Levy) when it was first told that he would be joining FT?

They pretty much stated that he was only doing what he was commanded to do by Ivan.

Besides, like stated... he feels bad at what he did to her as shown by him stepping in for her against Laxus.

We know he is a good guy... shown even more by him working as a double agent for Makrov and then giving him more emotions with wanting a cat.

[digit03]

for some reason i usually dont like putting romance stuff in shounen manga but yeah id like gazilleXlevi

[ca12nag3]

Oh and also if she were still holding grudges she would decline his offer to help her. And pick 1 of her shadowgear buddies. I think this arc well at least see some friedship develop and maybe a bit more.

Well, Jet and Droy held a grudge, and Levy was fearful of him, but didn't hate him. Then Gajeel let Jet and Droy beat him up, and he protected Levy from a stray shot from Luxus. After that Jet and Droy pretty much went "apology accepted" and Levy mostly stopped being fearful of him. Her fears seem to be forgotten entirely after the Festival arc and the actively working with Gajeel that was included.

So he was relatively easily forgiven, but not before he'd shown himself to be apologetic(in his own awkward way) and they were more or less even.

Gajeel helping Levy now is probably a combination of feeling though he still needs to make amends to her, him being impressed and intrigued by her during the Festival, and him wanting to get in on the S-Class trial action.

[ca12nag3]

I dunno, Gajeel helping someone out is not a dragonslayer trait. They work alone. Specialy him. Perhaps there is more to it but we need to wait for it. I supose hes gonna be her champion from now on regardless if they have a relation or not.

[kkck]

What DS trait are you talking about? Natsu spends 99% of his time with happy and the rest of his time doing missions with lucy, grey and erza. Wendy spends 100% of her time with charle. Gazille at the first chance he got took possesion of a cat and he pretty much intends to use it in the same ways as wendy or natsu. DS have NOT shown to be loners. If anything, they have shown to be extremely over dependent. I can't even begin to imagine where on gods green earth you'd get the idea that a DS is anywhere near being a loner lol.

Gazille was forgiven however I don't think he would forgive himself that easily. He picked on two mages who not only are weak but are also something like helplessly useless to the point where levi has to pick up their slack. He also beat up levi for crying out loud. Who wouldn't feel bad for that? Obviously he was forgiven by levi but I think this is more of a matter of him forgiving himself. I would think he feels pretty bad about the whole thing.

[ca12nag3]

both gajeel and natsu dont realy want to team up as DS and Wendy well i dunno shes always alone as well. Seems like dragons are solitary most of the time. (remember Natsus dad?)

[kkck]

It is one thing to say natsu and gazille don't want to be team mates and another completely different one to say they are loners. Natsu and wendy spend too much time with their cats to be loners of any sort and in normal circumstances natsu and lucy go to missions together. Wendy is rather new to the guild but I would think she in time will have her own team. Gazille is far to overly obsessed with having his own cat and has gone through quite some extremes to make other guild members forgive him and consider him a nakama.

[MyuuMyuu]

i also think Gajeel feels bad about what he did to levy, and havent forgiven himself for it yet..

-jumps into a new topic- did anyone other than me notice that ever since Lisanna came back, lucys seems more interested in Natsu Oo? U know, now shes like "Do you best Natsu" and smiles and blushed, and the thing when she looked at him sleeping while thinking hes cute.. this didnt happend before lisanna came back.. am i the only one who thinks that Hiro Mashima might wanna do some triangle thing between lisanna - natsu - lucy :3c:dance

[Lee-tyme7]

Natsu x Erza = totally intriguing and sweet :D

Agree, they don't know how crazy they are for each other. Natsu always wanting to pick a fight with her and she's always beating him up. lol!
Like they always say, the person whom you pick on the most is the one you love.
Maybe those two need to have angry smex. :p (the perfect dedication song: "Love the way you lie" -Eminem ft Rihanna.)

[Niirouge]

Well, Fairy Tail's a light-hearted manga, so love is more or less a theme Mashima is likely to cover briefly :)

I actually don't mind who ends up with whom because I've learnt to love all the characters for their unique traits. The only exception is the Lisanna and Natsu pair, lol. I need more screen time of her or I'll just feel that her "come-back" was a complete waste of chapters... -_-

And in response to this thread (since I feel as if I'm degrading the couple that seems to have started off this topic), I'd pick the Lucy and Natsu pair. They're ... cute together and I enjoy reading their adventures along with Erza and Gray ;)

[Jorge D. Dragon]

It would be interesting to se pairing between Natsu and Lisanna. They had some relationship, though they were kids, but stil.:)
Also it would be interesting to see Natsu with Erza. It would be very hot)))

[Igtenes]

I didn't think there was ever going to be romance in fairy tail, but after mashima-sensei brought lisanna back from the dead, i think there will be some romance. What other purpose could lisanna serve? Why bring her back? The only notable things she had done was having a crush on Natsu and dying.

[alf_man]

I have a feeling that Natsu will encounter another female Dragonslayer in the future mission and romance might start then. I don't know why but I just have a feeling.

[elitefox]

I have a feeling that Natsu will encounter another female Dragonslayer in the future mission and romance might start then. I don't know why but I just have a feeling.

It will be weird if DS children will be dragons :p
but cute

[Bhoot]

Who knows , all DS may be Dragons who have yet to learn the ultimate technique : Dragon Transformation .

Problems : Its a permanent transformation ;p

[Zancrow]

natsu x lucy
gray x juvia
erza x gerrard
happy x charle

[cleodux]

natsu x lucy
gray x juvia
erza x gerrard
happy x charle

That is exactly what i am thinking too...
I think the reason Mashima brought back Lisanna for Lucy to more aware of Natsu. But we are not going to see any major development between them other than small hint here and there. In fact i am not suprise they will remain friends untill the last few chapters lol (reminds me of RAVE)

Gazille x Levy
Bisca x and her partner that i forgot atm lol... his name kinda forgetable.

[Atobe the king]

I usually don't post in these threads but....i found it funny that when Lissana comes back, Lucy is suddenly staring at Natsu in his sleep and finding him cute. Came out of nowhere sort of. First time the manga ever irritated me.

That said if i had to choose, Natsu and Lucy, (People said Leo but i think it's him and Aries). Erza and Gerard/Jellal/Seighart3 are pretty much set in stone. Grey will warm up eventually (no pun intended).

[ZERO PHOENIX]

Yeah, I tend to stay from these threads too, however the whole GazillexLevi thing was actually mildly intriguing. At first I didn't think so, but after reading the latest chapter I said, Squuueeeeee!!! Ahem. Anyway I found that it was good character progression. I also like NatsuxErza. I think FT needs more of it.

[kkck]

the gazille-levi thing is interesting but I have a hard time imagining why levi would like gazille at all. I know girls like taking complements, specially when they involve things they take pride in (http://www.cloudmanga.com/Fairy_Tail/114/#3) and not just looks and whatnot, but would that justify such a change? We have seen two bits of interaction between those two with the first being the thing I already mentioned and the second being gazille making himself into her partner but I don't see how that would be enough. I mean, gazille quite literally beat the crap out of her for no reason. Levi is not that important a character to begin with but I am not sure I would like the idea of her being the type to go for the bad boy she has reason to believe is an entirely different person on the inside. Obviously it would work out her way because this is a manga but in a more normal scenario the whole thing about the bad boy who is broken on the inside and has to be fixed into a nice, wholesome, entirely new person is nothing but a gigantic load of crap which dumb women delude themselves into.

[ZERO PHOENIX]

You have a lot of good points. One might say that Levy and Gazille are like Beauty and the Beast. She probably sees something in him that no one else can. More than likely she understands that Gazille is not a bad guy. Combine that with her forgiving nature and she could form a friendship. Yesterday's enemies are tomorrows friends and vice versa in some cases. As for them building a deeper relationship in such a short time, well I heard that Gazille is an old school mack from way back. One of the original playas, from the Himalayas.

:D I kid but anyway, it's shonen.

[ca12nag3]

hmm saying its shonen wont do anything good. Each author has its own styl and isnt limited by anything. How Levy is in tears and gives him a Iron with a heart in it is kind of enough to say shes romanticaly atracted to her.

[cleodux]

Yupp i lol-ed when she gave him the iron with the heart shape in it. We are so gonna see more of this pairing :D

[Atobe the king]

The extra chapter with 212 is another NatsuXLucy vibed chapter...

[Igtenes]

Yeah Mashima seems to enjoy including NatsuxLucy moments in the side chapters. The side chapters are considered canon right?

[kkck]

^Not sure about that but I think they do. This chapter for example makes a reference to an omake event.
http://www.mangareader.net/135-43818-16/fairy-tail/chapter-165.html
The only issue is where exactly you put them in the timeline. The fateful encounter one should take place 6 months from now based on the timeline given.

[EternalAether]

*Natsu/Lucy but would prefer Natsu/Lisanna
*If above doesn't happen then Lucy/Future DS or Lucy/Loki to a lesser extent. I have another crazy pairing on the bottom
*Erza/Gerrard (I'll assume that this will happen when Gerrard is freed or escapes when all hells breaks loose)
*Gray/Juvia-given


Less important
*Cowbpy/Cowgirl-given
*Gazille/Levi showing promise
*Happy/Charle given/very very very close to given

Out on a limb (very little if any evidence, barely a prediction so dont criticize tooo much)
*Cana/Guildarts/? (Is it 10-20 year age difference? assuming she's aspiring to be S-ranked to meet him or another s-rank from somewhere else?) Or it could be family related issues
*Elfman/Evergreen -just cause they teamed up
*Maryjane/Freed its even more doubtful unless freed appears more often which is doubtful, demon/darkness demon, their talk/promise after their battle
***Lucy/Zeref LOL, my out of no where you think I'm stupidly crazy prediction cause I'm just basing it off on how opposites attract/"past" love or love triangle?

[Kuzumikun]

lucyxnatsu 4LIFE :D
i love the special chapter this week
she blushes when she reads the sidenote of the first mission with lucy :D
RAWR XD
and of course LevyxGajeel!

[Sarara]

the newest special was really just to cute, i think that was another proof how close Natsus and Lucys relationship is:>
and I have to say I don't like Lisanna:mad, she is just annoying but I don't think that she could really disturb the "love" between Lucy and Natsu, I mean since she came back to the real world there wasn't any real coversation with a deep meaning between her and Natsu.
and don't you think its kind of interesting that Lucy's mom died on the the same day Igneel disappeared, that's another relation between Natsu and Lucy.
and if you take a look on Rave, then it's even more obvious that Lucy and Natsu end up like Haru and Ellie

my favorite pairings:
NatsuxLucy /the cutest pairing of all>///<
GajeelxLevi
GerardxErza
GrayxJuvia
LyonxSherry
AlzackxBisca
LaxusxMirajane
LokexAries
HappyxCharle
ElfmanxEvergreen
RomeoxWendy (somehow I think they would match;>)

[Krono]

and don't you think its kind of interesting that Lucy's mom died on the the same day Igneel disappeared, that's another relation between Natsu and Lucy.

Lucy's mother died the same year, not the same day.

[Igtenes]

Adding hearts on Levy's bandana in this chapters cover was a nice touch on Mashima's part , it seems that this pairing(Levy <3 Gajeel) has gotten more development in the last three chapters than any of the possible main character pairings (Natsu, Lucy and Gray) have had during the whole manga; with the only exception being Erza since Erza <3 Gerard was strongly implied as well.

[Sarara]

then I've got it wrong but the same year is kind of mysterious as too^^

[Igtenes]

then I've got it wrong but the same year is kind of mysterious as too^^

Actually you got it right; it's the exact same day the dragons disappeared.

[Krono]

Actually you got it right; it's the exact same day the dragons disappeared.

7/7/777 is the day the dragons disappeared. However, Lucy's mother's gravestone does not specify what day she died, only what year.

http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fairy_tail/v09/c068/16.html

[ZERO PHOENIX]

I'm curious. Given this odd date, the dragons disappearing and all the homage to RAVE, has Overdrive been mentioned at all yet? I can't help but feel it's relevant somehow.

[kkck]

Overdrive was mentioned back when gerard used ethereon.. the explosion caused by ethereon was supposed to be called overdrive.

[Boris999]

I actually always seemed to like Erza and Natsu. There's something irresistibly cute whenever they have a touching moment. However from their general relationship I don't think it's likely to happen.

Second would probably come the obvious NatsuxLucy pairing. I suppose I wouldn't mind it.

[Askia32]

I went all over the place with pairings for this manga.

But, I think Natsu/Lucy is set in stone. Lisanna lost her grip on Natsu after her long absence and I highly doubt she can get it back.

[Zancrow]

A powerful young boy should join fairy tail so that wendy can have somebody to love while charlie would be chasing the kid away while keeping happy away at the same time lol

[Bloodone]

I really don't understand why no one thinks NatsuxErza would be a pretty cute couple as well...

I don't mind however the series will end, I just know I really enjoy both action and love type of aspects of the series.
I hope for NatsuxErza just cause this is very underrated but if Natsu chooses Lucy or anyone else, I will deal with it :)

[Bhoot]

I really think Natsu will just end up Oblivious to this stuff . I mean he just isn't the type [he is a emotional kid and he is the protagonist]

I think the one possible is Lisanne x Lucy [They will both get tired of banging their heads against Natsu and end up going lesbian]

[peleihno]

I never really cared for Erza x Jellal, even though she had feeling for him before.

lol I dont think the manga will actually go THAT far.........but who knows?


i dont really mind who natsu ends up being with most likely lissana since they were childhood friends but it could be anyone of these Lissana/Erza/Lucy/Wendy

[Mike Harris]

I think the cover of this chapter pretty much confirms that it will be a NatsuxLucy pairing. Mashima has been putting the eventual pairings on the cover of chapters for the past few. I dont mind this because, behind Marijane, Lucy is the hottest girl in the Fairy Tail Universe.

[luffyg2]

I think Natsu x Lisana should happen and then Lucy get jealous and by the end of the manga we get Natsu X Lucy... Oh and Grey X Rain girl (forgot her name)

[kamakazi_1996]

I think Natsu x Lisana should happen and then Lucy get jealous and by the end of the manga we get Natsu X Lucy... Oh and Grey X Rain girl (forgot her name)

the rain girl is juvia

[shouryuujo]

i like natsu and erza more than natsu and lucy... i dont want to see another haru and ellie pairing...

[Poneglyph420]

I'd love to imagine Natsu with Lucy.. but he's too "shonen hero" to even get it.
I'd rather see Grey and Juvia finally work it out...

And now there's potential for Elfman and Evergreen...

[lawlett-kun]

natsu x lisana,ever x elf, grey x lucy, jerar x erza,wendy x mistogyn

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Evergreen and Elfman is a good pair, also Gajeel with Levy, Natsu with Lisanna, Gerard with Elza and Grey with Lluvia.:)

[lawlett-kun]

yeh i forgot gajeel x levy.But imo it should be grey x lucy,since its already beenstated that grey thinks that lucy "is pretty damn cute"

[Thorvardur]

Natsu - lucy. evergreen - elfman. Gajeel - Levy. Erza - Gerard.(though I don't care about him at all).

[Jorge D. Dragon]

good_boy
Yeah, that's still a posibility, but I don't think she cares about him and also there is Lluvia and I think she won't want to confront with such a passionate girl as Lluvia.:)

[sho87]

I have a hard time someone as dumb and simple as Natsu is going to recopricate any feelings for any girl, he's just to one demensional for that. He's a shounen hero and those types are always asexual or to pure for complex feelings such as love and feelings for girls.

Lucy might hint some feelings towards him but that doesn't mean she'll expect Natsu to return them, unless she pulls a chi chi and tricks him into marrying her.

[RezzieThaRapper]

Actually compared to Goku and Luffy...

Natsu actually seems to really like women... It has been more than hinted at.. and I'm not sure if he loves Lucy, but he actually seems more comfortable around her than any other female... Heck he's already slept in her bed, seen her Naked, knows what her boobs feel like, knows what her butt feels like... They completely skipped first base, and are ready to run it home if you ask me...

Once they kiss, it's game over... even if it's an accident...

[Regret]

Actually compared to Goku and Luffy...

Natsu actually seems to really like women... It has been more than hinted at..
I thought it was a running gag that Natsu is oblivious to that sort of stuff. I thought all his reactions to those situations were rather typical of a shounen lead guy especially compared to Grey's. He didn't even blink when Edo-Lucy offered a peak under her towel. I'd have to see him consciously make a move before I'm convinced he's any different.

He seemed pretty close to Lisanna in the past and he risked his life to save Erza. I don't know how to draw the line between nakama and personal feelings. A kiss would be pretty unexpected.

[ca12nag3]

The new OP however pushes again in favor of Lisanna ^^" i know anime isnt to be conciderd canon but it can give a glipse on it.

Also standardizing how Natsu feels *typical shounen :D* well the best series eventualy couple their main character to a girl. Take DBZ for instance with a entire 2nd generation of characters born in the series.
Who knows FT might go that same route?

[Chaos Shadow]

the scene on the op was really nice, even if its almost imposible i really like Natu with lisanaa :P
now lets wait to see how much gray+juvia grows on chap 229:D

[lawlett-kun]

the scene on the op was really nice, even if its almost imposible i really like Natu with lisanaa :P
now lets wait to see how much gray+juvia grows on chap 229:D

yes natsu and lisanna I second that :D I really want to see loki x lucy

[Askia32]

What is the OP you guys keep referring to?

[ghostexiled]

opening sequence for the anime.

[ZERO PHOENIX]

I liked the JuviaxGray thing the previous chapter had going on. Juvia's awkward behavior toward Gray has always been rather humorous and while I like the pairing I never thought much of her feelings. A fangirl's crush. After 228 and 229 though I said wow! This girls got work! And what makes it even better it's that her feelings are driving it.

I'd like to see more GazillexLevy moments once he's back on his feet. However long that's going to take. :eyeroll

[cleodux]

Ha ha after the last chapter, anyone think GrayxUltear? lol

My fav pairings so far as in 230 chapters
NatsuxLucy
GrayxJuvia
ErzaxGerard
HappyxCharle
AlzeckxBisca
GazeelxLevy
ElfmanxEvergreen
FreidxCana ->lol as if... but i can dream right?
MystogunxWendy ->i just love them together >.<
MirajanexLuxus ->not going to happen. oh well

Spirits:
LokixAries
ScorpioxAquarius

As for Lisanna, i still think, there will be a story about she, natsu and lucy.

[ShoobyDooBop]

I SUPPORT GRAYXULTEAR!!!

My want to be couples:
NatsuxLisanna (hate to admit it though but it seems like it's going to be NatsuxLucy)
GrayxUltear (I don't care what others say)
ErzaxJellal (they are meant for each other)
MystoganxWendy (I really like these two)
GajeelxLevy (I want more scenes of these two)
LaxusxMirajane (I hope these happens)
EvergreenxElfman (I want more scenes of these two)

[MyuuMyuu]

now pretty sure that Natsu is/was interested in Lisana, in the romantic way. I dont think Natsu is so dumb and simple as many of you put him. However i can't really imaging Natsu with a girl either... but i do believe, that sometime we will see something about Natsu and Love. specially after Lisanna came back. I noticed that after she came back, lots of NatsuxLucy hints have been given, but not really any NatsuxLisanna, which surprises me a little.. but they probably come later.
As for Lucy, whether she likes it or not, will soon realise her feelings for Natsu. Im sure that there is something.. I really like Lucy and Natsu together, but i wouldn't mind them just staying friends. They really have a beautiful and strong friendship.

[Zeltrax]

Natsu and Lisanna is what I'm shipping.
I don't care what others say and I don't think Lucy is suitable for Natsu..they seem more like brother and sisters kind of relationship.
However, Lisanna is different with the backstory and stuff.

I wish the author will emphasis on it..

Yeah i agree.. I dont think Lucy even consideres Natsu as a romantic object(and thats kinda understandable). Well I always was a Greyx Lucy fann. Not sure exactly where Juvia comes here though .Oh and some obvious pairings: Gajeel x Levy, Elfman x Ever,

[RaveDragon]

NatsuLucy (I do like Graylucy but juvia would drown me xD)
LevyGajeel
ErzaJellal
ElfmanEvergreen
GrayJuvia
i love the above pairings!

Hmm i'm not sure about the no NaLu they've been having a lot of chapter openings together but that doesnt necessarily mean they're gonna get married haha or anything as much as i hope!

Natsu is always out to protect the blonde i quote here 'You bastards lay one finger on Lucy and I'll turn all of you to ash' and Lucy did start acting weird in that omake when Mira told her Natsu liked her, yes she SAID she was gonna 'dump' him but her actions were the total opposite, i just think those two are too dense to realize their feelings IF they have any ^^' (plus most omakes have been on this 'pair' recently haha)

Natsu and Lissanna clearly they had feelings for one another but I dont think they're made for each other although i admit they are cute together...
anyone feeling the incoming vibe of a comical NatsuxLucyxlissana?

[Nonlife]

I'm stuck with two different love triangles:
1. Natsu, Lucy and Lisana
2. Gray, Juvia & Ultear

[Zeltrax]

Natsu and Lisanna.
Even the anime thinks so :yelling

[RaveDragon]

Natsu and Lisanna.
Even the anime thinks so :yelling

I say we wait and see =P
rooting for natsu and lucy! :XD
well my avatar show that haha!
anime is anime what manga author says reigns supreme =P we shall see in the end xD thats the best thing we can do ^^ leave it to mashima

[eefrit]

Personally I like NatsuXErza, but in the end it is between Natsu and Lucy or Lisanna with Lucy being the obvious choice, although it isn't my favorite.

All other pairings are fine either way.

[ca12nag3]

for the heck of it ill add a pairing too

LaxusxCana

their dads have something going on from the past (former friends now fighting eachother?) And both have a insecurity issue.

Mashima does this more like in Rave with ReinaxMusica

[RaveDragon]

Crack pairing incoming i have no idea why and how this came to my mind my friend just shook her head and facepalmed GildartsLayla :O I'm still kind of trying to figure why i thought of this rather they could have been friends though maybe Gil met her when he was travelling or when Layla was still a mage...haha

@ca12nag3
I prefer LaxusMira but that does in a way work me likes =3

[Zeltrax]

I say we wait and see =P
rooting for natsu and lucy! :XD
well my avatar show that haha!
anime is anime what manga author says reigns supreme =P we shall see in the end xD thats the best thing we can do ^^ leave it to mashima
Fine I'll wait and see :eyeroll
Until then I'm rooting for Natsu and Lisanna :yelling
She won't lose to lucy for natsu's heart :XD

[RaveDragon]

Fine I'll wait and see :eyeroll
Until then I'm rooting for Natsu and Lisanna :yelling
She won't lose to lucy for natsu's heart :XD

xD yyou're on mate haha
nice to see people not eating my head and actualy nicely 'competing'
:thumbs

[shuha27]

I actually have to say NatsuXLucy would work :)
Lisanna lost her chance =P.....LOL

[ca12nag3]

I actually have to say NatsuXLucy would work :)
Lisanna lost her chance =P.....LOL

Aww thats not true. Wasnt her fault for being sucked into the anima.

Anyways both NatsuxLucy and NatsuxLisanna have just as much chance however HaruxEllie already happend and im not so sure if since Natsu resembles Haru and Lucy resembles Ellie it will happen again.

But im not the author so.

A thing to look forward to is a longer talk between Lisanna and Natsu, he has been in a pretty bad shape when she was lost. It affected him deeply yet they didnt realy talk about it so im curious if theyll talk about their feelings at least.

Lucy is always narrating the story so im wondering if she isnt just gonna end up alone :D

[RaveDragon]

Lucy is always narrating the story so im wondering if she isnt just gonna end up alone

that would be sad for Lucy if not Natsu theres...Gray xD *gets drowned by juvia*
i cannot joke can i? xp
ever thought she might be narrating to children or grandchildren?

anyway if not Nalu i would be happy with nali xD (ecstatic with nalu partly cuz that meant i was right)

@shuha27 yeah she doesnt seem as close to him as before and natsu and lucy have been growing closer i think ^^

[ca12nag3]

Im still kind of reluctant towards NatsuxLucy not cause i dont want to see them together but more like i dont expect it.

Natsu closely resembles Haru from Rave and Lucy resembles Elie. Now i dont expect Mashima to just copy past their relationship onto Natsu and Lucy. Cause that would kind of make them cheap copies of the former characters.

But then again it can be possible.

However Lisanna has always been Natsus crush, its not just Lisanna going after Natsu, Natsu is realy emotionaly touched by her and feels for her too. Gildarts even expected them to be together. Natsu even became rudish towards Gildarts and was about to walk away.

Another pairing im interested in for storyline reasons is GrayxJuvia this is realy a new form of relation introduced by Mashima. Ofc its fun to watch it.

I do see some resemblence in Grays interactions with Ultear in comparison to MusicaxReina.

(if anyone wonders the comparisons i made are from Rave Master)

[miramira]

Unlike in most anime/mangas, I don't mind the pairings (or pairing HINTS) in Fairy Tail. I don't see it overplayed :) So far I've only seen one main character over-displaying affection (Juvia! xD) it's okay most of the time. It's basically part of her character - being in extreme feelings (Gloom vs Lovestruck)

I think Mashima writes character relationships well. (Not limited to romantic relationships. Family and Friendship included. Even character vs foe is a sort of relationship)

So my favorite relationships/pairings in this manga: (as far as my sleepy mind remembers)

Romantic pair: Loki & Lucy. Erza & Jellal
Friendship: Natsu + Lucy
Light rivalry: chibi Erza vs chibi Mirajane, hands down.
Battle combo: Gray + Erza (not much seen, but that Edo arc page was kewl). Gray + Leon. Elfman + Evergreen
Versus: Erza vs Evergreen. Mira vs Fried. harhar
One to all: Mira to all. (The way she's sweet, sisterly/motherly to all but the next minute she's "strict")
All in all: THE WHOLE GUILD. (need I say more? xD)
[hr]
what do I say, I forgot about Natsu and Lisana. Still not sure if I want them as a pair (if it means they'll have to move a step forward.) It's like this: I think they have feelings towards each other, but they'll probably remain just friends. Anyway I like them as they are, sweet kiddie memories and teen-ish awkwardness and all. I don't know how their characters develop if their being a pair is explored further. Let's just wait and see if it does. :p

[RaveDragon]

the pairings are really a mystery and its really fun like miramira said to watch them develop Juvia has been really cool lately,


Another pairing im interested in for storyline reasons is GrayxJuvia this is realy a new form of relation introduced by Mashima. Ofc its fun to watch it.

I do see some resemblence in Grays interactions with Ultear in comparison to MusicaxReina.

(if anyone wonders the comparisons i made are from Rave Master)

now that you mention it its true they seem to be going towards a similar relationship i really liked that pair in rave hope they get a happy ending in this one meaning i dont mind ulxgray either

Loki seems to actually like Aries though (they are not siblings fyi =p) he's not flirty with her with lucy he seems to just like to tease her.

Natsu lucy friendship is okay but i like the hints of thier 'love' and they might look like haru and ellie but their personalities are different they're not the same they have a cuter relationship to me and ummm would a friend sleep in your bed *remembers scene and roflhaowhhbabh*

Natsu lissana dont have a lot of seens lately its like since she's back it went awol :/ and natsu lucy increased haha with all the openings in the chap to say the truth i think Mashima is still not decided yet since we're propably half way or more through the story so he's giving us snippets of everyone and then he'll surrise us xD
NatsuxLucyxLissanna seems to be happening though...

[ca12nag3]

the pairings are really a mystery and its really fun like miramira said to watch them develop Juvia has been really cool lately,



now that you mention it its true they seem to be going towards a similar relationship i really liked that pair in rave hope they get a happy ending in this one meaning i dont mind ulxgray either

does a friend bring his other friend to sleep in your bed as well then? Since he brings Happy along with him. (and no i dont count Happy as a pet). In the realm of FT hes just as much a person as anyone else.

the day my friend tries something like that i doubt he'll live another day, 'rentals are scarier than gildarts xD
true happy is not a pet i never quite thought of him as one, to me he's like another awesome character haha probably its just Natsu who knows nothing about these kinds of things, reading that scene he says its because her bed was more comfy lol but i doubt he would do that to someone he's not close to :tem

[Askia32]

My fav pairing that will probably never happen is Natsu and Mira.

I really like Natsu and Erza till we learned Erza will never get over her child hood crush. Natsu and Lisanna feels kind of weird now with her reappearance. It could work if they actually get some panel time together to build it back up.

The pairing I'm sold on right now is the NatsuxLucy. When Lucy jumped from the tower blindly to be caught by Natsu gave me a strong feeling for the pairing to happen. Than the special where Lucy cleaned Natsu's house made feel even stronger about the pairing. Than after the rainbow sakura special, I'm sold.

yeah i was like that too the omakes (almost all revolve on these two) and moments make me hope but im not gonna say anything im gonna wait and root for them!

[FujiNumberOne]

I'm definitely sold on Natsu and Lucy. It's hinted at so much. A lot of people say he's too dense to realize it, but I don't think so. He's constantly at her house, constantly wanting to protect her (even moreso than he does everyone else), he brought the Rainbow Sakura tree to her when she was sick despite there obviously being consequences, he said he'd fight seriously against EVEN HER (it was bolded in the manga) showing that he has her on a higher level than others, he kept her maid outfit and has a special sidenote about his first mission with her, etc. He's shown many romantic gestures in the manga, so I don't see why everyone thinks he's so dense when it comes to romance.

Others say he's too "shounen hero" for him to have feelings for a girl. Honestly, no offense, but that's a dumb reason to give. First of all, different authors do different things. Just because they're in the same magazine doesn't mean that they have to follow the same dynamic. Second of all, the dynamic doesn't fit with that at all. Naruto harbors a pretty much constant love for Sakura, going so far as to risk his life constantly to fulfill one promise to her, and deny her declaration of love because he didn't find it sincere. And, most of all, look at Bleach. Ichigo/Rukia is so close to canon already that it's not even funny. So plenty of Shounen heroes have crushes/possible relationships.

And others say (I don't know how they get this) that Lucy doesn't feel the same way about Natsu/won't admit it. She constantly acknowledges him in groups, every time he's in trouble she's screaming for him or on the verge of tears, she always looks to him to go on missions with her instead of others, and most of all she watched him as he slept, saying he was cute and musing about whether he ever feels lonely.

Also, a lot of people think there's going to be a Lucy/Lisanna/Natsu love triangle, but I don't even see that coming. Besides their reunion, Lisanna and Natsu haven't really shown anything very affectionate toward each other (and Lisanna showed pretty much the same affection to Happy) and don't seem to have chemistry. So I don't see any relationship between Natsu and Lisanna, even as a love triangle with Lucy.

And one of the most solid hints at their relationship is this:

So there ya go. Those are my musings/ramblings on my favorite Fairy Tail pair :)

Im a big NaLu shipper too however i dont agree everything with you.. i dont think natsu actually loves Lucy, he just deeply cares for her, a feeling that probably could turn into love, but diffently is not love yet :noworry he havent really showed any interest in her, and they had lots of akward situations together, he never showed any reactions.. and i do think lisanna was brought back for a purpose.. i would personally have prefered her dead, not because i dislike her, but because i think its really lame shes "dead" then alive again :-_- however i do think Lucy does have romantic feelings for natsu, or at least is starting to have.. like you said, shes looking at him sleeping, thinking if hes lonely and stuff.. and then hiro mashima ruined the moment - like he always do with these nalu moments.. like he dont want to go beyond the line of their funny friendship - it must not be too serious..;) Also remember there is loki for Lucy.. however this is a shounen, i wouldn't expect too much, and if there is any romance, that will be in the end of the series, like we wee who lived happly ever after together..

... btw, Mirajane and Freed makes a cute couple too.. :amuse

Lets just say it thoug FujiNumberone said what we all (us Nalu shippers) wanted to say but becaause of certain reasons some you mentioned cant xD

Loki i prefer with Aries, same species lets call them and they o care for each other.

NaLu has to many moments all ruined but hey they still happen xD and anyway some reactions of natsu seem romantic like the one in Edolas an notable quote 'if you dare touch lucy i will turn you to ashes!" he had one epic expression there

However all you said makes a lot of sense still your speculating on a few things that for obvious plot and story reasons are the way they are.
The entire Natsu x Lisanna thing doesnt show cause of 2 reasons, 1 is the family bonding with Mira and Elfman that comes first and secondly is the time both of them spend apart.
When Lisanna recollected that she first saw Natsu and happy she was shocked and in the kitchen, its unclear if thats merely seeing old friends or maybe something more, you got to remember she resigned to the fact she might have to live there for the rest of her life.

Another thing thats hypotheticaly important is this, Edo Natsu and Lucy seem in a relationship, so even tho we dont see Lisanna react to earthland Lucy im sure that since they are close she figures that the same is going on in Earthland as in Edolas.

But still Natsu isnt in relation with Lucy or Lisanna i think that Mashima is saving this for much later. Got to keep in mind 2 things, Lucy might realy feel for Natsu, in this case Lisanna will not bump in. The other is that Lisanna is the lover from the past, so Lucy might not want to intrude on that as well. Practicaly causing a stalemate.

However this is a shonen i doubt it would get this complicated, i believe we will be told in the end what happened maybe Lucy is actually narrating the story to their kids xD kyyaaa i wish!

in any case romance will ensue only in like the last chapter OR the last few arcs ^^ Till now Mashima seems to be heading for Nalu but you never know! (crosses fingers and cheers the pair)

but i think the jumping of the building and 'feeling' him close pretty much says Lucy feels something for our dragon boy ^^ (Natsu not Gajeel...just o make it clear xP now thats one weird almost crackpairing)

Natsu i dont know he's too hard to read :/ he cares for her deeply, he says he has the best relationship with her too but could it be something deep love? possible yes very ^^ Canon, its feels really close too, will it happen? talk when FT ends which is never because its too badass!
BTW Myuu-Myuu i sooo LOVE your avatar!

[ca12nag3]

It all depends on what Mashima wants realy. He could pull a dragonball and give us a entire new generation of mages from pairings or he could end it like Rave Master in wich he paired everyone off at the end.

Just i dunno hes starting with the pairings already with GajeelxLevi and ElfmanxEvergreen so im kinda hoping FT will run for another 150/200 chapters with a 2nd generation as well.

But it depends on Mashimas wishes as well as the publishers will to go on with it.

Whoa, don't get me wrong. I wasn't saying that he loves her. I was just saying that he probably does feel some kind of feelings for her above friendship. Not quite love, though.

LOOL imagine the kids
Lucy and Natsu
Twins to continue thier gags: a blond Natsu and a pink haired Lucy both with unruly hair and pointy teeth to annoy Lucy more cuz they take from the dad and are as hyper xD

a blue charle and white happy for best friends of above ---> CharlexHappy

a green haired Mira xD --> MiraxFreed

a scary spectacled Elfman ---> ElfmanxEvergreen

a tiny handsome shy Gajeel (blue haired) and a tall black haired Levy --> GajeelxLevy

Tiny Bisca and Alazacks running around about 30 or so Xp ---> BiscaxAlzack

Some Blue Erza's and red jellals ---> ErzaxJellal

a stripping ice Juvia look alike boy and water using gray like girl whom always smacks her brother for his stupidities -->GrayxJuvia

Romeo and Wendy are still too young they probably started dating by now and are the senior members of FT

This above my friends is the sign ive got a cold and im bored -.-" nonetheless it was fun!

and wooow FT is filled with romantic possibilities lol!!!

anywho i thin Fairy tail will be longer than rave around 35+ to 50 volumes max.

[Rummy]

I'm absolutely a fan of NaLu. But I don't expect that they will ever be a real couple like Haru/Ellie (at the end of the manga). I think the manga will end with no real couple. Okay maybe Gray and Juvia, but at the moment I don't think that Gray wants a relationship with Juvia. :p But I would like to see that...

Another couple I like is LevyxGajeel. The moments between them are just too cute! I really like them together. :luv

Same here. However, I also liked the idea of Erza and Natsu as a couple. Mashima is really shipping this Gerard thing so hard it feels forced.

[LanceX]

I really hope they do Levi and Gajeel. There definently can be something made. I can almost see her doing something drastic to save him. I can see him dying and her casting the word Sacrifice and it "kills" her to save him and confessing her love/feelings. Then of course he defeats whoever and is seen carrying her and crying. But then since this is fairy tail Wendy will BARELY be able to bring her back to life ^^

[ca12nag3]

Same here. However, I also liked the idea of Erza and Natsu as a couple. Mashima is really shipping this Gerard thing so hard it feels forced.

I dont get whats forced about it? Gerard gave her the name scarlet, he also remembered that word first of all things second he remembered natsu. Its not forced its the way it is. This is Mashimas ultimate tragic love romance.

If you want to class all the pairings so far you can see how each pairing that is canon fit in its own way.

ErzaxGerard is the tragic romance.

LevyxGajeel is more the black knight turn white knight.

ElfmanxEvergreen the constant arguing couple. Also the unlikely (OMG) couple, you got 1 of these in most manga.

JuviaxGray unrequited love or perhaps the worship love relation depending on Gray (this current chapter points more to the latter depending on what Gray will do next)

NatsuxLisanna is the childhood promise love, this is used a lot and is the most likely outcome in the end (sorry for all the NaLu fans)

BiscaxAlzack is the couple that never admits they are a couple, kinda the avoiding ones. Everyone knows they are together yet both wont admit.

NatsuxLucy is the difficult one here since were talking about both of them being the main characters, this one will depend on Lucy if she falls in love with Natsu for real or if it stays as friends. Thing is that all the nakama team stuff doesnt mean couple. It means nothing realy. Natsu could just as easly highfive Erza or Gray in regard to what some of you claim as proof.
However its still open and possible that they grow together, and there is also the possibility of rivalry between Lisanna and Lucy.

[Kuzumikun]

I see Erza and Gerald having a relationship and Levy and Gazgill (can't spell), maybe Elfman and Evergreen.
I really want NatsuxLucy a lot because i just love that pairing! I don't know, but hints are given from Lucy here and there about her little crush on Natsu. I wish we can see more though :C!!!

[Kauia]

I really love the Natsu and Lucy pairing. I believe its the most adorable and cute pairing in the series and hopefully develop more as the main plot of Fairy tail finally blooms( hopefully the end of the current arc will show a bit of revelation). The omakes Mashima makes about Lucy and Natsu are undeniably sweet.

[ErosVp]

Natsu and Lissana - childhood friends always won!

Lucy and Loke - It's obvious everytime he appears. When Lucy saved him, when he saved Lucy from Bickslow (Even Bickslow noticed and teased her later...), and when he saved her from capricorn...

[liductan]

I'm not sure why mirajane and laxus seems like they would make a good or cute couple in my head, I think i'm losing it or something. Their personalities are completely different but opposites attract sometimes.

[ShoobyDooBop]

Can anyone remember the post about LaxusxCana? I remember someone saying that. The post is something like it's gonna be interesting coz of their father issues... something like that. Coz both seem to hate each other. I don't know if this is the thread or not.

I think all relationships can be saved with a simple orgy... but that's just me... jk

Natsu & Lucy are unbelievably awesome together...
Happy even got him an obvious lady lead now...
but whom does that leave for panther lily...

[Storm King]

Lucy+Loki and Natsu+Lissana,They are perfect for each oher

[Ifrit]

For all Natsu+Lisanna fans = it never gonna happen

it will be Freed+Lisanna ^_^

Natsu + Lucy

Gerard + Erza

Levy + Gajeel

Elfman + EverGreen

[RaveDragon]

I kind of have to say I lost hope for my second fav NaLi...Nalu seems to be going well though :hurr

[oniichan powaa]

I have been supporting the 'Natsu-Lucy pairing' since the beginning of the manga a long time ago. The author did give this duo an aura of 'might-be couple'.
But now, I don't know.. I'm not so sure anymore since Natsu's relationship has gotten mixed up with his other female guild members like Lisanna, Wendy and others that might have or not have any feelings for him. Huuuhh...

That aside, I have an interesting idea that Natsu might have blood relation with any of the female guild partners. Maybe even Lucy. He is a human after all. He might have been raised by Igneel the Red Dragon, but he may also have human relatives that he doesn't know.

(Distant relative to Lucy + Aged more than 80 years old = Grandpa Natsu!)
LOL!

[Ancy]

Don't know why, but while reading this thread, Makarov&Porlyusica just popped in my head :blink

Could this be an unaccomplished love story??:p

[crimsonlink310]

Well Natsu just tried to peek at all the girls in the hot springs while Lisanna wasn't there in chapter 261. Natsu/Lucy FTW!

No offense to Lucy/Loke fans but how do you see it? I mean sure there is teasing and blushing but Loke is a Steller Spirit. Just seems kinda weird to me lol.

Anyways Natsu/Lucy is what I'm hopeing for in the manga later on in the series. Nothing wrong with a little romance thrown in along with some comedy effect due to it during a break between arcs.

Gajeel/Levy is another one of my favorites. :D

Erza/Gerald, I love the tragic angle of this romance and plus Erza in her wedding dress was so beautiful. Her crying over Gerald really tugged at my heartstrings.

Porlyusica/Makarov Very unlikely since Makarov was already married at one point and he is so damn old.

Alzack/Briska Its already canon but it makes me happy that over the timeskip this pairing became true and they have a cute daughter because of it. Also Erza's reaction to it was hilarious and Briska isn't shy on sharing details before her husband stopped her.

Happy/Charle Ehh pretty much a given after Happy grows up and gets his own grown up Exceed form like Lily.

Gray/Juvia/Leon lol This one is hilarious. Gray doesn't care romantically much for anyone, Juvia loves Grey and Leon loves Juvia. This is what I mean by romance being used in a comedic fashion between arcs. Perfer Gray/Juvia but Leon/Juvia isn't bad either.

Also Juvia's relationship cycle is hilariously funny. I agree with some of it yet other parts I laugh. Natsu apparently loves Lucy and Lisanna while both of them love Grey along with Ultear.

Just too funny (http://www.mangareader.net/fairy-tail/256/9)

[Kuzumikun]

Its going to be Lucy and Natsu! Lisanna will have to except it!

[oniichan powaa]

You really think so Kuzumikyun? I would have agree with you before, but you know, 'childhood-friend' type of character tends to have the upper hand against 'partner-relationship' like Natsu and Lucy. Since Lisanna is back in Earthland, we might see more nostalgic chapters about their childhood.
*No offense
Would be funny if we get to see Lucy feeling envy/jealous about this.

Lisanna has been here for a few arcs now. Aint had no deep flashback yet. Although this author has been the most surprising Ive read a story by before, but NatsuxLucy is amongst the most likely pairings in the series so far.

Only losing out to GerardxErza, I dont get why they let each other go away again lol.
Then GajeelxLevy seem more likely. But thats about it.

[MyuuMyuu]

Jellal x Erza is almost canon now after the latest chapter (264).
I would say that they are canon, since they did/almost did kiss each other. It's not that they don't love each other, it's more like they are trying not to.

Biska and Alzack is canon. They are marriaged and have a child -end-

Gajeel x Levy. I'm sure Levy haves a little crush on Gajeel.. that's almost canon too. Even lucy teased Levy about it. But i don't really think haves any feelings towards levy yet. but could happen. Im hoping. I hoped for this pairing from back when Gajeel protected levy from laxuas attack. So to see so many moments between them makes me happy :super

Lisanna x Natsu x Lucy: There is something between Lisanna and Natsu.. we just haven't seen it yet. I'm pretty sure Natsu had a crush on Lisanna when they were small, and the other way around. The Anime made even more into it.
Feelings between Natsu and Lucy might just be friends, but i'm pretty sure Lucy somehow soon will realize that she holds feelings towards Natsu. I mean come on, we all can see it! she just can't :p About Natsu, at first i would say he didn't like anybody because he was this kind of stupid shounen main character. But he lately have shown to be more human (and healty teenage-boy) like so he might get feelings for Lucy. Shes important for him, that's for sure. I personally like Lucy x Natsu the best, and i think they are more likely to end up together. Why? two reasons. Compared to Hiro Mashimas first manga, Rave Master, the two main characters ended up together. second? NaLu is popular. And Hiro Mashima is weak against fans.. he do way too much fanservice. If fans wants Nalu, fans will get Nalu.

Lucy x Loke. Those two are cute, but not realistic.. hes a stellar spirit mage at first. second, their moments together.. are always joke-like .. "My love for lucyy~~~" loke goes all the time. I can't see a future for them. But they are cute together.

Juvia x Gray: i WOULD have said the same here as Lucy x Loke, to much joke-love about them. However lately Juvia has shown that she is not only a Gray fangirl but that she actually DOES love him for real. I hope Gray maybe would start liking Juvia, but then Juvia kinda haves to stop being to gray fangirl like.. it would be weird for them to be a couple when shes all "GRAY-SAMAAA" all the time. Grow up Juvia!!!

Gray x Lucy: ..... not really?

Gray x Erza: I personally at one point thought Gray has a crush on Erza .. when they were small at least. Theyre pretty cute, but not likely to happen since Jellal x Erza and Gray x Juvia haves more fans (and jellal x erza is more canon) and again i believe Hiro Mashima is weak against fans opinions

is there more pairings i forgot about?.. Evergreen x Elfman? Maybe. that could be. there have been hints.

[oniichan powaa]

Hahaha... The fans are still rooting for the Natsu-Lucy pairing!
I guess Lisanna will have to be more proactive if she really have feelings for him (I doubt it though cause there's no strong evidence like Erza-Jellal)
Well, this is to be expected because we see Natsu and Lucy together so much, especially in the extra chapters (which I consider cannon). Mashima might pull something off with this pairings.
As for ErzaXJellal, it's as good as established that they're made for each other !
Elfman and Evergreen? Don't know yet... But I'm rooting for Gajeel and Levy too (let's get in the ship guys!)

[MONKEYS]

Absolute rage!!

I guess the thing I hate so much about GajeelxLevy is that I don't really hate the idea. Yet at the same time, where's the love for Jet (screw Droy, he got fat).

It does seem kind of weird that they made Jet and Droy go off in such different directions, considering they were practically the same in part 1 (Levy love puppets).
Not to burst the GajeelxLevy train or anything, but how old is Gajeel anyway? He seems quite a bit older than Levy (not that that matters, I'm rooting for Jet, who's 7/8 years older now). Also, does Gajeel even see Levy in that way? Seems to me that he sees her in more a younger sister way. Hopefully Mashima will tie the loose ends up by the series end (I'd rather know for sure that GajeelxLevy happened than it being left in the air).

Also, why the hell do I care so much about subordinate characters!?!

One final thing, about NatsuxLisanna, I really can't remember any point in the manga where Natsu has expressed love interest in Lisanna. At the same time, he seems to just regard Lucy as a good friend, much like every other member in FT. Again, hopefully some light will be shed on this.

[Shinobuden]

Just some of my thoughts on pairings.

Lucy x Natsu x Lisanna
Natsu strikes me as a little bit similar to Ryoma from Prince of Tennis. Ryoma is so focused on tennis and given his young age he currently has no interest in girls, even though some are obsessed with him. Natsu's situation is a little bit different, but it's still similar. Natsu's focus is on becoming an S-Class mage so he can find Igneel and that is one of his biggest priorities at the time, that and they keep running into dangerous dark guilds that nearly annihilates them all the time, which generally gives little time to think about romance.

There's definitely something between Lisanna and Natsu, but I'm personally hoping nothing will come of it as I'm not particularly fond of Lisanna (her excessive "MIRA-NEEEEEEEEEE" shouting drove me mad) and I just find her generally annoying.

I'll be generic and go for NatsuxLucy. Lucy can also be extremely annoying, but I still find her much much better than Lisanna. That and I think she and Natsu make a far better match. I also think Lucy might fancy Natsu a little more than she or anyone else thinks, she just doesn't realize it yet. She did after all keep "beautifying" Natsu and just the thought of that made her blush to the point of steam blowing out of her ears. Then again, she thought he had a crush on her. But she's still blushed many other times when he's stared at her.

Gajeel x Levy seems likely in the long run. It's pretty damn obvious Levy has a crush on Gajeel (she blushes whenever he says something kind to her, she says she "hates" him but actually means the opposite etc). Even Jet and Droy has stated that Levy seems to have a crush on Gajeel. The question is, will Gajeel realize this (or will Levy confess?) and if so when? What will his reaction be? Only time will tell really.

Jellal x Erza is pretty much decided. They obviously love each other but Jellal thinks he's done too much evil to be with her and that he needs to repent for his sins. In the long run, they won't be able to stay apart. Still...am I the only one who thought Erza was a little cold about Simon's feelings for her? She was like "I was well aware of his feelings for me" but it kind of felt like she didn't really care because all that goes through her head is Jellal. Which is kind of sad because if he hadn't done what he did I think (and if Erza had been able to get over Jellal) she and Simon could have made a pretty cute couple.

Mirajane x Laxus
Has anyone ever given this pairing any thought other than just a simple "maybe"? I don't know why but it just struck me once and it seems like a pretty interesting pairing to me, and a likely one. They may be opposites but opposites do attract to each other sometimes after all. I can't really imagine Mirajane coupling up with anyone else in the guild other than Laxus at the time.

I've tried to think of a pairing for Cana but I can't really come up with one because I don't like her, at all. I find excessive drinkers very unattractive and she's worse than excessive. That and she decided to go on with the exam despite the dire situation on Tenrou Island, which made her go below zero on ranking for me (notice the Aquarius reference there?). She DID come back with Fairy Glitter and all but I still hate her.

If I don't stop writing now I never will...so that's about it for now.

No need to worry about this. I believe step by step it will be Freed&Lisanna. And Laxus/Mira was thought by everyone actually every1 agree those two should get together :P ME FIRST !!! :teehee

[Shinobuden]

I can't really imagine Freed and Lisanna together for some reason, I just don't think they have that kind of chemistry.

And yeah I noticed about Laxus and Mira now that I read through the thread a little more :derp

[Marche]

I believe:
1) Gray and Lluvia (in this lastest chapters, perhaps also thanks to Leon's interest for Lluvia, I think that this pair is not more one sided, also if only slightly Gray became interested in Lluvia).
2) Biska and Alzack is canon now. In the truth this pair was already canon, the only problem is that one of them would have made a confession. When I read that were passed 7 years I became sure that they would have became a couple (also before to see the chapter), because I thought that they would have remember Erza's word before of Edolas arc.
3) Evergreen and Elfman: I really like this pair, I hope that we will see about this couple.
4) Levy and Gazille: Levy already loves him, the only problem is if he loves her now (I think that for now he doesn't love her) or eventually in the future. I hope to see more from this pair, I think that would be better if Levy was in the Fairy Tail team A instead that Elfman.
5) Mira and Luxus: I think that they will be the tag team for Fairy Tail's team B in this tournement. For them there is Mira's reaction when Luxus decided to not help the guild against Phantom Lord, and if I remember there was a cover page that there were 2 subjects that represented them.
6) Cana and Fried: I believe this from when Luxus tried to be the new master, the battle whitin Fairy Tail, and also from their tag team match for the S'class exam.
7) Then there is Lucy-Natsu-Lisanna: I prefer that Natsu will be with Lisanna, I prefer Lisanna to Lucy, also if since she came back there is not much developement between Lisanna and Natsu, for as are the things now the pair will be Natsu and Lucy.

[liductan]

Well, relationships in fairy tail can't go either way for me, espicially when most are used for comic relief..The most cannon and obivious: jellalxerza, biskaxalzack
everyone else is just speculations, very few have hints though: levy and gazille, gray and Lluvia, evergreen and elfman..
I can't say anything about the whole natus threesome, because natsu does show anything but brother love towards both, as well as the girls...
Mira and luxus, I like this pairing but I don't have any evidence, they look cute together though.

[Kisame Hoshigaki]

id like to see natsu with lisanna and lucy with loki

[Surprise]

I like
Natsu x Erza
Gray x Juvia
Lucy x Loki

NaLu seems kind of, well, too predictable and kind of forced to me

[Kisame Hoshigaki]

I like
Natsu x Erza
Gray x Juvia
Lucy x Loki

NaLu seems kind of, well, too predictable and kind of forced to me
you know, i dont think it is likely but when natsu saved erza from the lacrima she was trying to " bond with" at the tower of heaven and he was carrying her through the water and they looked into eachothers eyes i kind of thought the same thing

two major factors working against it now though

1: the return of lisanna
2: the return of jellal

those two and the fact that natsu and erza are just like brother and sister

[OtakuModeEngage]

We haven't seen any basis whatsoever for Lucy to have feelings for Natsu, she acts no differently around him than Erza does, and he treats them equally the same. Nor does she show any favoritism between Natsu compared to Gray. You could say she has developed feelings from when he's saved her, but he's saved Erza too; you're just looking too much into it. I don't always root for the 'childhood friend', but when its obvious they had such deep feelings for each other, I doubt they have just faded away since he's last seen her. Oh, an Erza's already taken, despite the fact that he won't admit it. As for Grey, he does seem to be a little angry that his rival/brother is hitting on Juvia. So that may be a hint as to their future.... I kind of hate how in this manga people so quickly change their feelings.

[Kuzumikun]

I am still rooting for Lucy and Natsu :D
Lisanna can go with the dancing freak haha :3 (i guess I'm just biased for LucyxNatsu)....

[Kisame Hoshigaki]

it almost seems like lucy and natsu are destined to be together but its hard to ignore natsu's past with lisanna

[crimsonlink310]

it almost seems like lucy and natsu are destined to be together but its hard to ignore natsu's past with lisanna

Their only past is raising Happy and Lisanna playing house with Natsu as kids. The anime might have expanded on that but the manga only stuck to those things. Its not like Natsu is worried about romance right now.

[solomon585858]

First of all I would be satisfied if Natsu would end up with Lucy. I think they are the perfect match. We just have to wait a bit. As for Lisanna... Well I don't think she has much of a chance against Lucy.
Other pairs except the one including Bisca and possibly ErzaxJellal are just speculation and can turn into anything. As for ErzaXJellal couple I don't really like it and I find it a bit wrong. After Natsu saved Erza from Jellal I had my hopes for her pair with Natsu. But Erza forgave Jellal for everything he has done and acted like never happened. I mean he killed before her eyes the one who loved her. Even though we can consider he was somehow being controlled it still doesn't change the fact that he committed a lot of crimes and killed many innocent people. I think everyone should pay a prize for their actions and just giving Jellal a happiness doesn't seem right to me. This goes to Ultear and Meredit as well. Remember the fate of Zancrow and Hades. I don't say they should die but they for sure has to pay. Otherwise it is strange. You kill people and being forgiven as nothing happened.

Back to pairs.. So for me Natsu and Erza would be the perfect couple. Though now it doesn't have any chance even though there was back then. As for others I don't care much though Laxus and Mirajane would be a good and "strong" couple in many senses for me.

[THM Nindo]

it almost seems like lucy and natsu are destined to be together but its hard to ignore natsu's past with lisanna

Exactly my thoughts!
I'm really torn between those two...

I can't help but think that if Lisanna wouldn't have disappeared, that pairing would be 100%.
I'm very happy that Lisanna is alive, but I'm suprised that Natsu and her are not closer than they are right now...

But Lucy is the heroine of the manga, so it's almost certain that, if there's a pairing, it will be Lucy and Natsu...
Too bad for Lisanna... :(

[SerpentTailedAngel]

Hiro Mashima is a massive tease. He posted this for Tanabata while having Jellal's identity get out in the manga: https://twitter.com/mashima0012/status/221263457977249792/photo/1/large

I'm a big fan of this pairing.
Erza and Jellal are perfect for each other.

And it's the only actual pairing in the manga, where we know that they share their feelings.
They just can't act on it...

while its true please dont forget about ever and elfman mashima been very enthusiastic about the as well

[dragons4life]

this is mainly just a reply to what jellal said after he kissed erza

Jellal: "I can't fall in love with people who walk in the light"
Reply: "Well it's too late for that!!!"

[Kisame Hoshigaki]

it almost seems like lucy and natsu are destined to be together but its hard to ignore natsu's past with lisanna

sadly it seems lisanna was just brought back from edolas to serve the purpose of the token shounen-love-rival

she has little to no chance of being with natsu regardless of their past

although i am not unhappy with natsu-lucy, they would be a cute couple

[RaveDragon]

yeah but they'll probably end together only at the last chapter although natsu lately is being such a perv toward her xD

I heard mashima originally didnt want to bring lissana back (for development purposes) but the anime poeple convinced him but he doesnt have much for her to do or so it seems.

yea its almost a slap in the face to the readers because you would think that natsu would have all of these emotions towards her, and he barely acknowledges her, i realize this is a shounen title and is not a romance driven plot, but for mashima to bring her back , just to let her be some supporting cast member, after all of that drama was built up about her and natsu's childhood (embellished by the anime without a doubt) is an insult to the fans

well, the anime made it a slap in the face, i dont mind nali (but recently my naluness killed it for me) and the manga flashback wa so sweet i wouldnt mind natsu wit lisanna if he didnt end up with lucy but the anime kind of exaggerated and mashima clearly doesnt want to change anything he planned even if he brought lissanna back

[Krono]

I heard mashima originally didnt want to bring lissana back (for development purposes) but the anime poeple convinced him but he doesnt have much for her to do or so it seems.

You heard wrong, the anime people didn't convince him to bring her back, unless you just mean that they convinced him in that he liked what they were doing with her.

[Kauia]

You heard wrong, the anime people didn't convince him to bring her back, unless you just mean that they convinced him in that he liked what they were doing with her.

Wasn't it a friend of Mashima's that convinced him to bring Lisanna back? Because from what I know, Mashima had really no plans of bringing Lisanna back. It is true that the whole natsu-lisanna in the anime was way too overdone.

[SerpentTailedAngel]

Honestly I don't see the two as a pair at all. Lisanna teased him about being his wife once when they were kids, raising an egg. Probably any kid who ever played house with anyone as said that. The only other time the manga ever remotely suggested there might be something was when Gildartz teased him, and even then I get the sense that it was more just because Natsu didn't have many other female friends. He didn't even seem to fully recognize that there was a second gender to appreciate until after the time skip, and none of that sudden interest has gone towards Lisanna.

I think the rule i first girl wins anyway. Lucy ran into Natsu at the beginning of the series before we saw him with anyone else, so the two seem like the most likely couple just for that. In a shoujo the childhood friend would have a shot, but for a shounen it's rare to see something deep. Then again, there is Jerza so maybe Lisanna's got a shot. Of course... she hasn't seemed too romantically interested in Natsu either.

[Tame]

If it's first girl wins then wouldn't Lisanna win?

[THM Nindo]

Although I'm pretty certain than in the end it will be Natsu-Lucy, I'm a big fan of the "childhood friend" thing usually, so I really wouldn't mind if it ended up being Natsu-Lisanna.

As for Lucy... well, she always have Leo, right? :tem

[crimsonlink310]

If it's first girl wins then wouldn't Lisanna win?

No its more like the first girl the Reader sees the Protagonist meeting. Lisanna came way later, like after the Phantom arc which was the major beginning of NaLu in a lot of people's eyes.

[RaveDragon]

No one ships ariesleo? :[

[Tame]

I'm not a shipper really (don't care about romance in manga) but there's so much ship tease in Fairy Tail it's a bit hard to ignore. With that in mind, this is what I see as the pairings (or intended pairings) in FT:

Natsu x Lisanna: I see Natsu and Lucy's relationship as more a brother-sister type thing, but I wouldn't be very surprised if I was proved wrong.
Luc x Leo: though yeah, I'm not sure where poor Aries fits into that. Then again, Loke likes having a girl on either... arm.
Aquarius x Scorpio (lol!)
Erza vs Jellal (I don't know what she sees in that guy. :P)
Gray x Juvia: though I'm not sure why Gray is so put off by her advances - Juvia's hot!
Elfman x Evergreen: may as well be an Official Couple at this stage.
Levy x Gajeel: poor Jet and Droy, lol. Though I suppose if Mashima Pairs the Spares they'll at least have each other. XD
Happy x Carla

As for Freed, well I wouldn't be surprised if we got some Ship Teasing with him and Cana. Though having said that, he did get the pleasure of having Mirajane straddle him. XD And he does seem to like Laxus a lot...

[Kauia]

Did anyone see Natsu's expression as Minerva bully her bad? The painful expression Natsu had was completely different from Gray and Erza. He was yelling stop it with such an agonizing expression. I think that was the only my fangirl side screaming at me for a nalu moment esp since this is a shonen manga. I pray that there's a tiny romance for next chapter between Natsu and Lucy.

well i dont think erza is the one who is going to catch Lucy...unless we're gonna be trolled or something but yes, hopefully Xd

[Schabrak]

Ahh, it would only be so much more hurtful, if Lucy will be gone or disappear on the 7th day. I think the movie has a bigger chance of having a romantic situation than the current manga, where it's more rage for ST than love for Lucy Imo.


Plus, there's that age difference now...
The age difference will be the deciding factor. :u

[PhoenixRoy]

I really don't care who Natsu, Lucy, and Gray end up with :P

But I do support

Gray x Juvia - I have no clue how Gray feels about her, I just recall that akwardness from likes 10 chapters ago when Erza brought Juvia's feelings up.
Gray x Ultear - They look good together :P
Levy x Gazelle - They also just look good together, though I do want some sort of scene where he apologizes to her, Jet, and Droy.

I don't support

Erza and Gerard - I really do feel like Gerard needs to answer for his crimes, and not get one of the "best" female characters in the series. Although Gerard was being controlled, I still see him as a villain. That's who he was made out to be up until he was brought back to life. He is even running around with the person who was controlling him. (Ultear was supposedly controlling him, right?). Also, the dude is acting like a wimp, even after 7 years. Plus, there's that age difference now...

[THM Nindo]

Who do you guys think Wendy will end up with?

Nothing happened between them yet, but I get the feeling she will end up with Romeo.
He's 13 now, and she's still 12.

And I feel Mashima is pushing him to be a Natsu #2, (kinda like Konohamaru in Naruto).
So it would fit if he would get one of the 3 heroines of the story.

[SerpentTailedAngel]

Plus, there's that age difference now...

I don't really get the whole "still a villain" argument. It's like saying Joey should have suffered in YuGiOh (I am so sorry for the reference) for having been forced to duel Yugi. It was out of his control. He was brainwashed. Even if Ultear only altered his personality and left him to his own devices, which seems most likely given his guilt trips, that's basically creating someone different with his memories and body to do her dirty work. The Jellal who's currently running around isn't the same person for ToH at all. As for forgiving Ultear, she genuinely regretted her actions, likely explained her motives, tried to right his life as best she could, and he had seven years to build a bridge and get over it. He's a fugitive, so his options for allies are limited. Why not work with her?
Also, once you get older an age difference isn't as big of a deal.

However, I think Jellal does agree with you about not deserving Erza. He did make up that fiancee thing. I'm not sure if Erza's line meant that she was accepting that he didn't want to go any further with her or if it meant she knew that he liked her as much as she liked him. It worries me...

Let's see if I can have this make sense, I liked Gerard the villain as a character. That Gerard and Erza actually seemed like the had a strong relationship. Even though it was an antagonist/protagonist relationship. I wouldn't have a probably with Erza x Gerard if somehow he had integrated himself in with Fairy Tail somehow. Sort of like what Gazelle did. What happened instead was that he was presumed dead, and then suddenly pops up in the middle of an arc with no memory and then tried atone for stuff he doesn't even remember. Also, Gerard has only had like a handful of interactions with her over the course of 15 years. I just don't see a strong feasible relationship between the two.

[Schabrak]

You don't have to know someone all your life to love that somebody, it can only take a couple of seconds actually. Life, full of wonders and it's not like those spare moments haven't been some heavy emotional ones.

[Kauia]

If you looked at the filler arc in today's episode, the blush in Natsu's was so adorable.

[crimsonlink310]

I'm not one to bash a pairing no matter if its a crack pairing but Lucy with Sting just brings up a big feeling of disgust. Not to mention any FT member with ST members in general with recent chapters.

No offense meant to anyone who ships those pairings but count me far out from them.

[SerpentTailedAngel]

Personally I really like that one, but it's a total crack pairing anyway (I don't think they've even really spoken) so I don't know why it needed to be shot down out of the blue...

I have yet to understand HOW that pairing came to existence :/

I think RaveDragon meant Lucy with Sting as she quoted my post.

I agree with her but then again there are very insane pairings made daily. *Makarov X Jose was the most disturbing one I have heard yet.

[Schabrak]

Yeah that's a weird pairing. Too much Aquarion EVOL lately? He is not Kagura's pondon to Natsu[Amata].

edit: Lucy would be KaguraMikono in a love triangle, that doesn't exist in FT.^^

[crimsonlink310]

Yeah that's a weird pairing. Too much Aquarion EVOL lately? He is not Kagura's pondon to Natsu[Amata].

Never watched Aquarion. So Amata is Natsu while Sting would be Kagura? Lucy is Aquarion?

Edit: Thank you Wikipedia

Ok so Lucy is Mikono. It hasn't got to that point yet. I really hope Mashima avoids a love trapezoid as Natsu/Lucy/Lisanna is good for now.

[Aranilas]

In my opinion Lucy doesn't fit to Natsu at all.
Lisanna is the only one, who "deserves" to be on his side and goes with his nature - their contact seems more naturally, because they know each other since their childhood. For me, they seem really close, tough Mashima doesn’t show much of their relationship.
Lucy is too much of a princess, to goes with Natsu.
So I would pair up Lisanna x Natsu and Lucy x Leo (I really, really like this pairing).

Elfeman x Evergreen as much as Gajeel x Levy speaks in his favor.

I also can Erza just imagine with Jellal - these two are my most favorite couple. *-* I don't think, that the difference in their age is that much of a problem - it's only 7 years. I think Erza really fits to these "bad boys"
What I also really liked was that proud face of Laxus, as Erza defeated the monsters in "Pandemonium" - I could also imagine her with him (weren't Jellal there =D).

Mira I would pair up with Laxus or Freed (I'm quiet impressed by their fight while Laxus' battle of Fairy Tail).

These obvious hints with Gray and Juvia I totally hate. I don't like Juvia; in my eyes she's a stupid woman, whose brain pauses, as soon she sees Gray - in view of that she's too weak.
At the beginning oft the manga/anime, I really wanted him with Lucy, but now I think they don't suit each other at all.
I totally like the thought of pairing Gray and Cana up ... tough she would also go with Hibiki ... hm, really difficult.

At the Tenrou arc, I thought Wendy would end up with Mest, but now the difference (especially in their age) between them is too big, so I think she could end up with Romeo.
I also think Porlyusica and Makarov would be very sweet. xD


By the way ... all pairings are not important to me, as long as Erza ends up with Jellal.

[Schabrak]

Do we know if Makarov is even a widower? He's got a grandson after all.

Why is there so much hate for Juvia? Better hate Mashima for turning on her baka mode once she's seeing Grey. Wasn't the Meredy fight very good?

And Grey and Lucy? That is one weird pairing, what do they have in common, when did they interact aside from being in a three/four member group?

Wendy was a little child[12], Doranbolt an rather high ranking member of the Rune Knights and adult, which implies him being older than 18. Let's keep the loli shit out of here.

They never had any interaction whatsoever!

Yeah
I find the whole Doranbolt X Wendy pairing thing kinda disturbing...

He's obviously an adult (and that was before the 7 years timeskip), and she's only 12.
That's just... giving me shivers just to think about it.

After the timeskip, I think it's pretty clear that Wendy will end up with Romeo.
He's 13 years old, and he wants to become just like Natsu, so he will probably become a more important member of FT.

Since when are Lucy and Sting even a crack pairing?! :blink
They never had any interaction whatsoever!
That would be why they're a crack pairing.


In my opinion Lucy doesn't fit to Natsu at all.
Lisanna is the only one, who "deserves" to be on his side and goes with his nature - their contact seems more naturally, because they know each other since their childhood. For me, they seem really close, tough Mashima doesn’t show much of their relationship.
Lucy is too much of a princess, to goes with Natsu.
So I would pair up Lisanna x Natsu and Lucy x Leo (I really, really like this pairing).

I hope those air quotes around deserves aren't meant to emphasize it.

Lucy doesn't fit Natsu? Based on what? They've actually said that they enjoy the parts of one another that they find odd. And Lucy gave a whole speech on how even if she's from a rich family she loves hanging out in a dirty bar and going on violent missions with everyone. How is that being too much of a princess?
Also, it's an actual fact that people are significantly less likely to be romantically interested in someone they've known since childhood. They're inclined to think of them more as a sibling. The theory is that the brain does that to prevent incest.
