Volume Covers, Color Pages & Misc.

I'm rooting for Kagura too

EDIT: WTF with Ichiya's stats?? LOL, this has to be Mashima trolling again. I'm gonna bet good money when he fights seriously against the villains later, Mashima will suddenly change his stats into 5's in key areas.

Lastly, not surprised with Lucy's stats. She's among the weakest of the contestants physically but she makes it up in her versatility and wits.

Well, we already knew Ichiya's an idiot with crap physique himself, so that's 4 of the stats right there. Dunno what his wildcard stat is though.

Interesting that Gray's stats are the most balanced out of them.

It's a bit BS that he's still on par with Leon after the 7-year gap, even considering the powerup.

I'm also hoping there's going to be some changes to the stats as more of the volumes come out since I honestly think that after his fight with Bacchus, Elfman's defense should be 4.

Eh, Elfman had a high-speed form too, but that's not reflected in his stats either.

[Newkerzy]

I think the reason why Elfman's stats seem inaccurate as of now is because this volume doesn't have his fight yet. Maybe when Mashima releases the next volume, he'll up Elfman's stats in defense & speed.

hahahaha...Laxus & Jura my favorites...the rest are looooosers

I bet Gildarts will get 5 Cool if he's there....

[crimsonlink310]

Sabertooth's members are OP as hell. I wonder the bottom right really means because Jura has a zero is that regard but he still had the most cools lol.

Rouge has ridiculous stats along with Sting. Also Gajeel has better stats than Natsu lol.

[clydu94]

In all logic, either if its Natsu or Gajeel who'll fight the two other Dragon Slayers, nor Natsu nor Gajeel can win. Rogue has even better stats than Erza ! Wtf ?! And we all know that even if having better stats doesn't mean being stronger or winnin a fight the gap between FT DS and Sabertooth DS is just incredible. Please Mashima no power of friendship this.. I think Mashima basically fucked his logic up by doing those stats.

Sabertooth's members are OP as hell. I wonder the bottom right really means because Jura has a zero is that regard but he still had the most cools lol.

Jura's zero stat is "hair," going by guesses + Google Translate.

Other 5th stats, with help from 4chan:

Erza: swordswoman
Mirajane: gravure
Gazille, Orga: singing power
Yuka: eyebrows
Ichiya: kirameki (shininess?)

Maybe the stat varies have great influence on magic power,speed and defence.Remember Lucy's last attack in her fight(that Mashima didn't show us),it seemed so powerful and with big one hit KO-ratio...If not,then Natsu's team have to end the turnament in 5th position...

Apparently, these are some of the other stats (they couldn't translate Ichiya, Hibiki, Ren, most of Mermaid Heel, or the Quatro Puppies because they were in Romanji).

Not sure. It's titled kind of like an art book with that "color" part of the title, but otherwise judging by it's Amazon.jp page, it appears to be a light novel that lists Miu Kawasaki as author, and Mashima as illustrator.

Fairy Tail will be having a light novel adaptation. It will be written by Miu Kawasaki, one of the writers of .//hack. The illustrations will be done by Hiro Mashima. The words written on the cover says something like, "heart of dwell" (kind of weird but that's just what I've read somewhere)

[Newkerzy]

So is it an original spin-off story??

No one knows yet whether it would follow the storyline of the manga ar anything about its contents.

Anyways I don't think that this rank are ok for Fairy Tail wizard.
I believe that this level are based by their level before of the time-skip, so the power thanks to Urtear or to their training are not counting in it.
