Discussion Official Dragon Slayers Thread

I'm not entirely sure if Sting can switch sides because he is going mad with power. He doesn't even care for anyone. I mean, he could have felt sorry for Yukina because she was her nakama but nooo he just had to say she was weak and got along with it. He is just so freaking cocky!!!!!
I was hated Rogue the first time I saw him and found more about how he killed his dragon parent but after with Yukina he earned my respect for cheering up that idiot little exeed Froch. I think he will most likely go and join Fairy Tail after Sting gets his ass beat up by Natsu

Actually, Sting does show some degree of understanding for the who comrades thing. His first appearance has him looking down on a dark guild for abandoning their allies. Plus, he's been at the top for a while now, so he's either already mad, or it's not gonna happen. It seems especially unlikely when he pretty much had a wtf face at least once per chapter since Natsu started rampaging in his hotel-he knows he's not the most powerful one there. He's not a wizard saint, and even Jura didn't score over 9000 (sorry).

He seems to think more highly of the idea of Saber Tooth being on top then he does of any one individual though. He warned Yukino not to disgrace the guild ahead of time and she not only lost but bet her life on the match and had to be shown mercy (It was the bet/mercy that got her kicked out, btw) He needs a wake up call before he can make the mandatory dragon slayer switch to Fairy Tail, but it's completely doable.

Yeah, but you can see him shaking in exitement and laughing that evil laugh "kukuku" after Natsu went rampaging at Sabertooth. Plus he doesn't care about anything else but Natsu and did you see him after Chariot? He totally didn't care about nakama there when he said "that is just trash" after Natsu said that heartmoving speach about his nakama!

As for Gajeel and Laxus. Gajeel actually cared for his nakama from Phantom Lord but never actually admitted that, you can see him smiling when he finds out about Totomaru. Laxus is the same as everybody else in Fairy Tail, because he was like Natsu only worse when he started The Battle of Fairy Tail, 'cuz in the end of that arc when he released Fairy Law nobody got hurt, because he always cared for his nakama.

Natsu is gonna beat Sting half to death if Sting goes into Fairy Tail and starts caring for his nakama. And if (just IF) Sting gets his wake up call and joins Fairy Tail I will put a sexy image of Sting as my profile picture

 

[Rarhyx]

well defendeing someone whose character already changed is way easier then someone we know almost nothing.
and gazille carrying for his namaka?

really?

after rereading this pages/chapters, Sting reminds of the old gazille, when he was still in Phantom.

Thus far the only dragon slayer not to end up in Fairy Tail and at least develop tsundere-esk nakama qualities was an artificial slayer working for a dark guild. When it comes time, I recommend you find a colored version of him waking up shirtless.

Edit: Also, Sting beating beaten silly just about guarantees he goes to Fairy Tail. For the sake of drama the Natsu/Sting fight will be the deciding factor in who wins the tournament. He's already been warned that he'll be punished if he screws up again. If he loses and gets kicked out, having been in the number 1 guild up until now, he's likely to try to go to the new number 1 guild, which happens to have his formal idol turned worthy opponent.

 

[SlayerKisame]

I am not sure I want to see every DS introduced join Fairy Tail. I just about lost it when Gajeel joined and I wasn't a fan when Wendy had been in a fake guild for years. I know Sting and Rogue will probably get kicked out (or leave) if they lose the tournament, but I think it's time that Mashima forges a different path for them. Don't get me wrong, I think having every DS in Fairy Tail would be pretty cool on paper and would probably permanently make them #1 guild in Fiore. But I think it's already cliche and would be better for Sting/Rogue to both find a guild outside of Fiore that fits them better.

Though this may have been discussed before, but is it possible that the reason the Dragon Slayers are weak to transportation (i.e., having motion sickness), is because they lack the wings like a real Dragon have.

I mean if we consider that the wings of a Dragon actually helps them stay in balance with the things around, then the DS Magic users would obviously feel difficulty in someway because even if there bodies have similar consistency to that of a Dragon the still lack the wings to keep them in balance.

Maybe this is also the reason that when Exceeds use there wings to help the DS fly around, it doesn't cause problem to them as they are moving is with the help of wings.
Though this part of the theory doesn't hold that much support because other than Natsu no one has used the help of the Exceed to fly around that much. Well Gazelle had flown with Happy's help but it was recently proven that he was not as experienced as a DS as Natsu was. On the other hand Wendy has flown with Charlie but it seems she is most likely immune to that effect as she is technically the medical specialist of the DS (and is able to use spell which can cure that problem temporarily).

Well there maybe a possibility that the Exceeds may have a connection to the Dragons (thats why they make good pairing with the Dragon Slayer's) but we aren't sure about that yet.

 

[SerpentTailedAngel]

Going with the reason Mashima made up on the spot for why Gajeel had previously been okay with transportation, I think Wendy will probably get motion sick too once she's a little more experienced with DS magic.

Actually that makes a lot of sense, I really like that theory. It fits way to perfectly to say the least. I don't think it is a matter of how experienced someone is though. As far as we know gajeel has been a DS for as long as natsu at least. Laxus could have easily been a DS for even longer. I think it would be more of a matter of to what extent the user has acquired a dragon constitution which could easily be more of a varying factor between individuals.

 

[John 92]

about sting and rouge,they will definitely change,they are less "mad" than gajeel and laxus were,like somebody said,the drak guild and now fighting for lector shows it and rouge questioned sabertooth

there is a high chance they will join FT since gemma will probably kick them out when they lose,he already told sting he will give him one last chance

 

[Uriel]

I think it's not related to experience, but power. When you acquire certain power related to Dragon Slayering magic you start to feel motion sickness due the lack of wings.

I loved that theory, makes a lot of sense.

 

[Zinc]

i really hope sting and rouge do not join fairy tail , if they did , the rest of the guild wont get much screen time , id rather see erza anyday over sting and rouge , but rouge's cat , fro , is too cute haha but i dont mind them over jellal cuz im sick of that guy ... or maybe they could join the guild but be travelling mages like how gildarts was when he wasnt in the guild much cuz he was doing that 100 year quest

 

[SerpentTailedAngel]

I don't think they could take much screentime from Erza. They'd be like Gajeel, occaisonally popping up for group scenes ad background jokes but only getting serious focus for things involving slayers

 

[THM Nindo]

I'm not sure I want them to join the guild.
I'd rather if they would be outside allies (kinda like Lyon, for example).

It certainly wouldn't be impossible though...
Especially if they are "true Dragon Slayers".

I mean... Makarov did say something about Porlyusica prophecy or something like that (can't find the link...)
I don't know if he was referring specifically to 3 Dragons slayers, or if it was more about having a lot of dragon slayers in Fariy Tail.

If it's the latter, it would make sense to have both Sting and Rogue joined the guild.

 

[Rarhyx]

Sting was raised by a Dragon, Weisslogia, who taught Sting White Dragon Slayer Magic.
Rogue was raised by a Dragon, Skiadrum, who taught him Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic.

The way I see it ST would have to have some inherent changes in its policies if rogue and sting are meant to remain in it. Lector and frosh are weak exceed, that by default makes them incompatible with STs philosophy. More so, sting has not excuses left, if he loses here he is basically out. Rogue is basically disagreeing with how sabertooth works. I think that in the end sting and rogue will be revealed to carry the spirit of fairy tail and whatnot and end up there. Dunno to what extent they could just add them though. If all the main characters get a fight in any given arc then we are talking about a lot of fights lol. Well, that does not really happen though. Anyone noticed that with sting, rogue, natsu, gajeel, wendy, laxus and cobra there are in total 7 DSs in the series? I wonder if they will stop at that number....

 

[Rarhyx]

yeah, but only 5 of them are "real" dragon slayers.
and it was only said they got dragon lacryma implanted and not lightning/poisen dragon lacryma.
maybe it's a mistranslation

 

[Schabrak]

That's the conclusion from last weeks chapter. Weisslogia for Sting because it's the german word for white. Skiadrum for Rouge, because skia is the greek word for shade.

edit[below]: That's part of the eleven pages of discussion. :P We don't know why Natsu was not allowed through the barrier, it seems like Igneel spoke to ghosts.

 

[Rarhyx]

Didn't see that at all...
And does that mean Natsu, Wendy and Gazeel are real dragons while Sting and Rogue are humans?
I assume it's Igneel who is talking there. And is he "really talking" to them personally or just to their "ghosts", when personally then Sting and Rogue are just posers 'bout killng a real dragon...

I don't particularly remember the manga specifying if dragon lachrima had an element, I might have just assumed that. Still, aren't dragon abilities biological as far as we know? If each dragon is biologically capable of an element then it would make sense the lachrima would also have said element.

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

Now, about dragon force... I wonder if it really is something which should be surprising from a DS. Isn't that the ultimate form of the DS? The manga has described DF as the power of dragons so wouldn't it be expected that at some point all DS learn how to use said power? Now, the power was attributed to their third generation thing although I do think using lachrima and DS magic is kinda cheating here. Natsu has accessed DF before by means of consuming a butload of power(ethereon and flame of rebuke). My idea here is that entering DF is a matter of power and skill with DS magic. DS magic is all about making yourself more dragonlike. Basically having more power makes you in itself more dragonlike and being skillful with DS magic also makes you more dragonlike. Now, if being more dragonlike is the issue here then the effect lachrima has on sting and rogue is clear. Having the lachrima allows them to artificially become dragonlike enough for them to access DF with less power behind them. Now, the issue here is that second origin could perhaps be just enough for gajeel and natsu to access DF if there actually is a minimum amount of magic needed or that they are close enough for them to access it without things as extreme as flame of rebuke or ethereon. It would be interesting to see natsu or gajeel use DF now. With their current level they would perhaps be as strong as gildarts with DF.

 

[Rarhyx]

rethought the whole 7-dragon-element thing and noticed something:

we have 7 DS but only 5 of them are real ones (6 if zeref is also a DS)
and we have 6 Dragons: Igneel, Metalicana, Grandeeney, Acnologia, Weisslogia, Skiadrum (7 seven if the Dragon King is also a Dragon and not something else - I will laugh hard if plue is the dragon king xD)

so if mashima sticks with the 7 dragon thing then there isn't any poisen or lightning dragon.
if my theory is correct (and zeref is also a DS) then we have to see the 7th DS in upcoming arcs.

The 7th DS could also be trained by the Dragon King himself.
