Fairy Tail 252 Discussion

[Ifrit]

Great chapter! Finally we get to see a dragon in action. It seems like Makarov knows some information about the black dragon.

I remember how I always wanted someone to die in FT but now that it might happen...I don't want to see it happen

exactly it make me wonder here

I think Makarov was ready for this day...I think Makarov knew about it all this time "Poryushika" that weird women prophecy. maybe this is what Makarov meant by you will understand one day.

Dragon-awesome
Makarov fighting Dragon - more awesome
Makarov dying - very NOT awesome (cause I like him)

but seriously beginning of new era ruled by Acnowlogia made me read this chapter 3 times

Chapter rating 9/10 (I really don't want Makarov to be dead)

DIE MAKAROV, DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!!! Muahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaahahahah!... I hope it is real this time, if you think about it, it's very unlikely to happen (the situation came out of the blue). But seriously the man needs to die, Mashima has been teasing us with it for a long time and you know what you do with a teaser that never gives you anything: you break up with her.

... wait what? (lost my train of thought there)

Awesome, if sad chapter. I wish Makarov didn't have to die, but he really really does. FT needs to know what it means to lose something. The fact that Natsu still wanted to fight that dragon like an arrogant idiot despite Gildart's wisdom and Makarov's final wish for him to get away proves it.

...God I hate Natsu.

If humans are truly like insects to dragons, then what's the whole business with Dragonslayers is supposed to mean ?
Unless there is another truth behind it, I just don't get Zeref's logic.

Only Acnologia sees them as such, the other dragons obviously have some liking for humankind.

I actually want Makarov to die, I think that I'd bring a sad but much needed change to the manga. I feel like Makarov has been about to 'die' many times, but this time it may actually be real. On another note, why did Natsu say "I knew it, Dragon's really do exist" If he was raised by one?

[DEATHBOTT]

i wonder if gildarts will stay. he should try to help atleast.

[halfcrzy]

Huh on page 5 why was makarov's tattoo through his bandages? I kept looking at that and didnt get it. I think i found a woops! moment

Mostly because most people didn't believe they still existed, apart from Makarov, Guildartz, members of the council, Gérard, Zero and members of the 7 kin of purgatory. Oh and most likely the spirits and Layla knew as well.

Of course that Natsu's friends believed in him, but they never thought they'd see one in their lifetime.

um... seeing as the last time he faced up against acnowlogia, he got the s**t kicked out of him and lost an arm and a leg in about 2 seconds http://www.mangareader.net/135-44553...apter-166.html, there's really not much point in sacrificing his life ALONG with Makarov's. He wouldn't even slow Acnowlogia down much, most likely, and FT would have lost its two most powerful members in one go. Probably not a good idea.

I just thought of something! What if what made Zeref have a change of heart was Nirvana? He said he's been around for 400 years, he might have been around for when the Nirvites cast Nirvana even....

So gildartz will be the new master for FT... i hope its not erza or laxus..!!! what about the old lady who treated makarov before.. but another thing.. FT member could not die on the island because of the continuous replenishment done by the island.. so may be makarov might pull off after dragon leave him there half dead...

[senewe]

We won't be seeing Makarov for a while. He will make a comeback on later stage. He said that was his last Word as FT Master doesn't mean he has to die so someone could replace him. He is retiring and doing some plot-related 'freelance' job I guess.

i think even the tenrou island protection has a limit and can't save makarov from the power of a dragon. Polyushka might indeed the person to decide over the next FT master. I guess she is keeping makarovs last will. So the S-class exam won't give us a new s-class mage but a new FT master.

But as i said before. Laxus will probably be the next master. He isn't ready yet, but imho Fairy Tail will be disbanded by the council after this arc.

Le sigh.

Lol natsu brought up the most obvious yet ignored fact in the series "I'm a dragon slayer and thats a dragon" why wouldn't he want to fight it. And really did you expect Natsu to NOT do that? Only Gidarltz has made him taste fear. That'd be completely out of character, more importantly he only did that to serve as a plot device even someone as thick as natsu could grasp what deep **** they were in when he saw laxus shaking.

And wtf? people wanted FT to get their asses handed to them..and how they always win...and nakama power up xn...and now someone is likely to die but suddenly no one wants it to happen ?

I think that I'd bring a sad but much needed change to the manga

Death as drama is very overdone...it's not the only way to bring about dramatic change....especially when its a pointless death that only serves as artificial drama to a dull plot (not in this case though)

[goldb]

I dont necessarily like the idea of Makarov dying but it'd be interesting to see how the plot and guild progress without him. As for what Natsu said about fighting the black dragon; wasn't it said that only Dragonslayers can defeat dragons? hence their names.....? so Atobe is right there;
But poor Laxus; not being to save his grandpa and having to save face in order to evacuate everyone. Very emotional.
