Discussion Laxus Dreyar Thread

[Ramen]

Ima go ahead and disagree with both you. There is no Dragon Drive. Sting and Rogue has drive’s, which were essentially the same as FDKM and RLDM, enhanced modes based on their element. Not the same as DF, which is the only thing that involves a power boost and dragon scales. With the exception of Gajeel and Cobra whose DS magic relies on specifically transforming parts of their body into dragon scales.

I don't think 2nd Gen have drivesor DF

We saw Laxus use DF when he cast FL.

Never confirmed to be a DF.

 

[GL_Nova]

Never confirmed to be a DF.

Never stated not to be. He grew Dragon scales and gained the regular massive power boost. DF makes more sense then inventing some other never stated answer.

No because he wasn't using his DS magic at the beginning. Once he released it is when the sclaes grew. Gajeel has scales when he has his Iron scales on, doesn't mean it's a DF. Cobra doesn't go into DF when his poison claws appear.

How could 2nd Gen have DF if they weren't raised by a dragon?

just imagine Laxus has Red Lightning Dragon's Roar. that would be sick. his enemies would be bathed in Laxus' blood lol. Blood vomiting lmao

gross

Gajeel’s DS magic is the iron dragon scales. Same way Cobra needs his for his poison. An continued to need them through series end. That defense is a false equivalency full of holes.

Where did it say they can’t. Where does it say it's necessary to be trained by a dragon to get it?

RLD mode is popular (though it's not that surprising after recent chapters...). Didnt expect Heavenward Halberd is this popular

I have 9 favorite spells/abilities, but since we can only pick 4 my top 4 favs (not in order) are:
1. Lightning Body
it allows him to fly. pretty handy spell
2. Heavenward Halberd
good stance when he casts it, cool name, cool shape
3. Red Lightning Dragon Mode
cool move, finally Laxus has a new mode. and the fact it comes from his blood, makes me shiver very fitting for me who likes blood
4. Fairy Law
cool spell too, I hope he uses it again someday. Lowkey hoping for a Fairy Law unison raid with his gramps

HM:
Roar (the spell that paralyzed Natsu and Gajeel back then)
Jaw (cool stance too)
Raiko Red Lightning (the pioneer of all red lightning thing)
Melee Combat Skills (since I was a huge fan of taijutsu during Naruto era, I can't dislike this skill of his)
Durability & Endurance (what a monster)

 

[LighteningLord]

Apart from what I voted up there, I have a lot more favorite abilities:
1) His amazing charisma
2) Raging Bolt
3) LD's Iron Fist

and of course Red Lightening!

 

[Karna]

Definitely the best man.
I wish I joined the Laxus parade when he put Erza in her place xD

 

[Demon Hunter]

why are Raijinshuu his bodyguards anyway LoL

they are outdated asf and serve no purpose.

I thought they are also his sparring partners but now I don't think they can survive a regular lightning strike LoL.

time to change some members.

Kiria at least took a Secret Art from Laxus and survived.

Thunder squad was soo good lol.

And their Alverez showing allowed me to put some faith back in them too. Freed at the very least, he one shotted the fake Wahl (who was controlling a battle on his own, so it's not even like he was too much of a fodder either)

I think Mashima forgot his Alverez feats, smh. There is no way that he should've gone down that fast to Gray. What should've happened to Elfman this arc, should've happened to Freed too.

 

[Loke]

Did Laxus learn it? IIRC, Freed prep'd it for him, in case if emergency and Laxus said it's from Freed

Laxus literally performs it on panel

 

[GL_Nova]

you people sure are optimistic
jellal aint a main a character, his chance, of getting a good fight in an arc like this is low. most likely a mostly of screen fight.

and

versatile and fairy tail should not be uttered in the same sentence.
if you people remember
abysal break can only be cast if you have expertise in elemental magic fire, earth, wind and water. you must have expertise in all of them. jellal should know all these elemental magic, he also has that dark magic thing from TOH. also mystogan thing.
did you see any different magic from him?

remember hades. he taught the 7 kins their magic. did you see hades use time arc or god flame?
would have saved his life but na.

this is fairy tail, where magic king like august has to use his stick to beat people

That’s why I said Wizards battle. I really wanna see him casting spells and using all at his disposal, not trying to HBM slug fest it out the whole fight. He should really only use that when somebody truly forces a physical battle.

Yeah, Jellal 'died' as a character for me long back as well. It's a shame cause he's one of the few characters that I see as a legitimate MAGE in the series. He has great versatility and cool powers, but we never see anything but Grand chariot
Yeah, you're completely right about the fact that characters in the series only use their main magic in fights, even though other magics that they know would be more helpful in their fights. Zeref, for example, just had to stop time and one shot Natsu. But he kept using dark magic punches

Did Laxus learn it? IIRC, Freed prep'd it for him, in case if emergency and Laxus said it's from Freed

Yeah Laxus learned it. An you’re right about FT characters. We saw Laxus show proficiency in light magic at the start of the series and his character card claims he knows more, we saw Makarov using all kinds of elements, we saw that Natsu could learn other magic, the stage was set for them to all gain some useful skills. An yet we just see them rely on 1 magic type. Though in some cases it makes sense.

 

[grey matter]

I'm not sure. Didn't he say it came directly from Freed? I interpreted it as Freed giving it to him prep'd to use in case of emergency.

I don't remember him using light magic. Unless you mean Law, but that's not specifically light magic. Law is it's own thing.
Interesting. Can you point me where this was mentioned?

Yea, I don't understand that either. If they know more, then why not use them, especially when needed? Lazy writing, I suppose

In the volume he clearly states learned from Freed. So while an argument can be had to if it’s only that spell or weather he can now simply implement tune magic remains to be seen.

He uses the flash magic, and strikes Mystogan with a light blast to unveil his face.

Entirely lazy writing. Just like how we didn’t get LFDM Natsu again until after all the complaints about how it didn’t make sense not to use that mode against Merc, but I’m just here to read and be entertained

Ohh, never read manga until GMG

Wasn't it just lighting?

Damn, never thought about that lol. Why TF did he not use lighting on a WATER Dragon? Hahahaha

Since when can Laxus use Light Magic?

I was wondering the same.
In the anime, it was just lighting. I don't know about manga tho

 

[sharkai]

laxus never used any other magic. it was all lightening based
