[aymen24]

This chapter was fun, especially Natsu

 

[Rigel]

I missed that kind of comedic energy.

I laughed a lot at Natsu's scenes.

 

[VG1989]

did Hiro really Draw this? It looks really different, even from Space Manga and DR art style. I know He has not drawn FT chapters for years, and there were bit changes to his style, but still.

 

[grey matter]

Really enjoyed this chapters.
Now that's something I haven't said about a FT chapter for a LONG time lmao.

Freid and Ichiya legit made me laugh a way I haven't for a FT chapters in ages.

 

[VG1989]

Really enjoyed this chapters.

Same-ish, aside from feeling weird with art style and expecting something different, not a prelude to 100 year quest
This was solid 9/10 chapter.
this is what those 2 ship (Cobra and Ichyia) chapters should have been like.
Mischief going on and we see everyone involved, no just go into the guild and read all characters Bio.
well lets see how Anime will go.

PS
Irene could have fixed Wendy, Now she is doomed to be a delinquent.

I just noticed (someone on twitter pointed out)

 

[Garmadooon]

Great chapter with Natsu carrying the show haha. Much better than the Fairy Nail fan service chapter or in the bath.

 

[Steven]

Lets hope we are getting our Ankhseram Spin-off

Albeit,im pretty sure if that happens,it will be after 100YQ is over.

Would love to see some World Building Pre-Zeref era.I always say that FT has a interesting world and setting.Maybe bring back God-Slayer Magic as this was clearly wasted in the OG Manga

So Originally Makarov wouldn’t allow Natsu to go because he wasn’t s class. There needs to be another s class tournament

Mashima would be missing an opportunity by not holding another tournament to decide which mages can be Rank S.

The entire A Team is capable of being S Rank mages, but they are still one rank below.

 

[Star Frost]

So even though it’s been a year since the war with Alvarez and Acnologia, there hasn’t been a S-class trial, and Makarov initially didn’t allow Natsu to do the 100YQ because he wasn’t S-class?

It would be redundant for there to be another trial since the team and some of the other relevant guild members have shown to be capable of being S class mages or beyond that, but it would be nice for there to be another one but something more challenging.

that is true but if there was another trial it’ll still be very difficult because the S-class members have gotten stronger as well (some other than other)

S-class is not just about strength, as was shown before, it requires different skills. And Natsu in no way is capable of being an S-class

Yep, but lately it feels like even Hiro forgot about that.
Originaly it felt like S-class had to have leadership skills, independence and strategic intelligence.
Natsus intelligence only involves combat, He will go into town and burn it down first rather than ask people around.
Lucy is more intelligent in "regular terms", but she always needs a backup. she may have attacks that might put down someone strong, but they are all glass cannons and her combat intelligence is not great, in fact she most of the time needs to rely on her spirites working on their own rather than formulating plan herself and commanding them (Horologium and Gemini fake death Lucy, Loki plan when they were turned into plushies).
Same for Wendy, She is bit better than Lucy, but needs someone to guide her, until she pulls Ex Machina.
Grey is probably only one who qualifys, even though he has poor showings, he is Strong enough, Smart enough and resourceful enough to be S-class. He literally guided Lucy when bodyswaped with Brandish.

Well that’s telling given how Levy was a candidate.

Alright i see many bad opinions fueled by hate or some other shit but i will get past that. Being S-class has nothing to do with leadership. Leadership is important for being a leader. S-class rank is all about power and being an elite mage. Thats why Natsu had to face Gildarts in the island. With that being said, Natsu being S-class makes the most sense here, since he is the most effective mage in the guild that could deal with a quest of this calibre. Natsu is not a team player, more like Gildarts in that sense, They don't need leadership skills, They thrive off solitude, They are fine on their own like lone wolves.
