Discussion The Official Relationship/Pairing/Shipping Thread

[Arjuna]

Guys i don't normally post in Shipping thread but i will say one thing.Aya said Hiro will not draw NALU like GRUVIA.No where did she say NALU will not happen.There are numerous hints in the Manga indicating that they will end together.The most recent being the christmas omake.What other proof do we need to confirm NALU will become Cannon.We have the second film,numerous hints in the manga.Even in the Alvarez Arc all Ships went to fight together.I think he said this may be some big NALU coming as END may be revived by Chapter 500.

I agree Nalu will happen. But you are twisting the words a bit. He said he won't draw a Nalu kiss/very romantic scenes, and instead he's drawing them for Gruvia. This goes back to the discussion from last week on which ship has progressed more romantically. Lol

In Japanese forum, 2ch, most people conclude that Mashima totally denied whole nalu romance because it is strange that he used the word "instead" for Gruvia in Japanese if he was just talking about kiss scenes or something like that.

He did draw romantic scenes in christmas omake.Natsu ever did a perverted thing to a girl i.e. Lucy after Zirconis.Most NALU scenes are implied.

Still some people regard them as best friends or sister and brother.

^While I agree, I can't help but grin at the fact he said he's drawing Gruvia romance/kiss instead of NaLu.

I'm quite please with that information as well. It will be nice to see Gray and Juvia drawn in a romantic light together with Gray reciprocating her feelings this time around. I would love to know more info on the Jerza bits that are mentioned, merely because I'm a Jellal lover and Jerza-biased lol. ^^

What kind of brother grabs his sisters breast lol. Smh (not to you towards those people) a sister don't cuddle with her brother like they did in the omake.

True but that didn't count fam lol. Erza too raw and Gray had to calm her down

 

[jellalsexualll]

Didn't Erza tell Gray to grow a pair and shove him off of her? Lol I don't think Gray was intentionally trying to grab her boobs.

I'll be laughing when this troll draw them happily married. IIRC Haru and Elie never kissed but they had a child together... so I could see him doing something like that again.

The take home message is that, no, he did not deny Nalu. What he DID deny is that he's going to get implicitly romantic with them in the main storyline. If memory serves, it's pretty similar to what I said recently about how the ships have different portrayals and different means to happen.

Ships with mains do commonly have the platonic build with the ending where they get together without the ooey-gooey romance since, main characters tend to be archetypes that appeal to typical shounen readers (young males). Typical shounen readers do not give a rats fanny about the romantic build-up, but they do appreciate a happy ending where the dude gets the girl. Of course, Nalu is deeper than that, but as they are the main characters, Mashima probably treads a fine line on how far he can go between making it palatable to readers and turning it shoujo. The best thing about shipping the mains is that you get a lot of interaction. The worst thing is, you are constrained by plot and often are relegated to canon near the end.

As he stated recently, he wants to play with romance though. He's been a mangaka long enough and knows his wide fanbase enough to experiment. He's been making it clear that he's going that route. It should be interesting to see the end result.

Haru and Elie did kiss. And they had a much more romantic build than Nalu.

Gray touched Erza breast on purpose?

Lol, she was venting all them pent up emotions she had over the year skip. Had to let that Dragon know what he was missing over that timeskip .

What was the chapter?

 

[Arjuna]

Sasuke and Sakura never kissed yet they become a couple in the end.

That's a shounen couple that I hope none of the FT ships follow lol.

I would take this interview with a grain of salt though as one this a fan made translation and two this from the VAs statements (even though she quoted him) and not Hiro himself. I highly doubt Hito would let the VAs out the romance just yet especislly when he's built so much suspense for them.

Sasusaku? Lol that pairing got trolled even after canon.

It's not a fan made. Hirano is literally quoting Mashima. You're talking about a guy who gave a ship away in a novel.

Translation is legit.

That's very small and kind of looks like a hug. Not really showing them smooch lip to lip like Gajevy's so either way he could still do it similar to that and the show them years later with some kids of their own.

Their faces are smashed together. It's a kiss. They hugged a page or two before that and it looked different.

It doesn't have to be like Gajevy. They had CPR for one. Two, Zervis kiss was in silhouette form but it was legit.

We're straying a bit off topic now. Point is, Nalu will probably still happen but Mashima denies drawing a kiss or very romantic scene for them.
