Discussion Spriggan 12 General Thread

[Ebony Maw]

Zeref could create another Bradman. And Gajeel being in the underworld makes sense. Due to the fact that Zera is there, or maybe he is in Mavis's heart.

You know thinking about it, why hasn't Zeref created more Bradman's? Seriously, if he created an army made out of MBP's alone he'd have an army that would slaughter most opponents. Give the commanders of said MPB army curses like Bradman's and the 9DG and you have an almost unstoppable horde. I'm guessing that the reason this didn't happen would be due to time-constraints and MP drain but it does make me wonder....

 

[Hermit]

Are there anymore fanfics like this one. I just read up on it and its amazing.

Haha it's not mine but I think the author will be very happy to hear you loved it
I was planning on writing one involving Tartarus but holy hell some things are easier said than done, I do hope I can manage to come up with it soon^^
Gajeel vs Wahl though

I think we'll get a good majority of backstories on all/most of the 12s if we already haven't... Hiro doesn't throw away any antagonistic characters that have great potential other from their current existing roles (see Ultear, Meredy, Jellal, Silver, Oracion Seis) I think he either had fun making these "villains" or in general he put the work in to think them up so the ones like Brandish, Dimaria, Irene, Ajeel, God Serena I don't think he'll throw away without giving them some background depth. So far in that department we've got:

• Brandish = Grammi, Aquarius, Layla, knowing August since she was a kid
• Dimaria = Chronos giving her power and Age Seal, being a descendant from Mildian
• Irene = being from Ishgar, related to Erza someway (we'll get more soon), learned/trained her enchanting from Zeref
• Ajeel = grandfather is Yajeel
• God Serena = crossed over to the empire to find and kill acno, was a 10 wizard saint
• Bradman = the Grim Reaper of the underworld, a Demon being he uses curses and is not human

Just to name a few, people like Neinhart served a purpose to get Kagura to get over her dumbass trauma with Jellal and introduce Irene in the plot so he basically served his purpose so it's not gonna be with everyone. But in general with how unique and powerful these villains have been to date in the series, they deff---or a select few---should get some love regarding their past

He should have and that armyshould be coming from the west

I'm really hoping that Bradman comes back tbh, so far he's probably the 3rd/4th strongest Spriggan but in true Spriggan fashion he got screwed over.

Actually, which Spriggan do you (anyone) think was screwed over the worst? Personally I think it's a four way tie between Jacob (would have solo'd the guild), Bradman (was decimating anyone who went near him until Gajeel decided to eat the MBP's), Wahl (would have trashed pretty much anyone but ran into Laxus and his "red lightning") and, of course, God Serena (beat four of the strongest mages on the continent and then Acno shows up).

So far the Spriggans strength have become a joke. I pray Hiro doesn't play with The last four and be serious.
Brandish's magic is really impressive, she was dyed down by her backstory.
If Ultear never shown up, Dimaria would fucked everything up.
Wahl literary lost after going into that assault form.
God Serena was one shorted by Acno.
I'm starting to think that FT has no real power in this war. Everybody else has been fighting while they sit and watch.

The Spriggans have had some incredibly bad luck, they're wrecking house and then Nakama Tail enters the battlefield...... oof. I feel like the Spriggans have been wasted tbh, they should have been the battles in FT where pure logic alone mattered, no shenanigans. But that didn't happen. I'm actually starting to side with the Spriggans lol, Sabertooth first, then the S12.

Hahaha
Nakama Tail. Good one.
Plus where do you think Mermaid Heels guild master will be placed here in this war. I hope Hiro didn't forget about her.
Maybe that's Erzas mom.

That person may never even appear in the story :P ( her interest in her guild situation are even less than Gildarts ) some time ago i was thinking she will appear in Hargeon now i don't even think about her.

Maybe she's with Gildarts. Being serious, I'm actually starting to forget about the other guilds, if I'd written this arc (it would probs be 10x worse but still) I would have had each Spriggan go down to an entire regular guild, it would keep to their hype really, it would also avoid the Twin Bradman situation.

If I wrote this arc, every member amd their magic would have been revealed before Universe One.

So I was wondering why there are so many unanswered questions about Neinhart. Even after his defeat, he stayed a mystery. There are some characteristics which weren't explained about him.

1). Why does he refuse to obey Zeref's orders?

Spoiler

As you see, Neinhart didn't appear when Zeref ordered the Spriggans to come together. Also, Zeref didn't seem to care about it all.

2). Why isn't he a teamplayer?

Spoiler

He refused to work together with Dimaria and Wahl. Instead, he stayed at the ship doing nothing.

3). Does he have a connection with Ikaruga?

Spoiler

When he summoned Ikagura against Erza, he literally said "my beautiful historia".

4). Why does he rate himself above the other Spriggans?

Spoiler

Neinhart made it sound like Wahl and Dimaria didn't reached anything at all, just as he expected. It seems like he ranks himself above them.

At some point, I don't know if I actually like the way how he is portrayed as a mystery or not..

You know what I'm going to do when this arc is over I'm going to rewrite it in my way

I might do that tbh, at least in short, like the key events and battles, though I'll probably make Alvarez win lol.

I'm hoping that the S12 get to show of their unrestricted power at some point, seeing the result of that would be awesome, though it would probably just be a repeat of Bosco.

I'll have the Fairies win but the battle won't be easy. Plus I may switch some fights up. And make some battles longer

Fam in retrospect it's always easy to say "this could of been better" or "this scene was better" blah blah blah. I get it but in the end it's whatever... exhausting yourself over what could of been better with the 12s and their fights is just a waste of time.

Overall I've been enjoying the 12s as their my favorite villains in the series after OS. I feel like it's more fruitful to criticize and analyze the fights and 12s that occur when we see it, not when it's all over... just my two cents

I just see it as fun lol, kind of like writing a fanfic but more focused on the overall results than the story. Interesting to see that we have the same favourite villains lol.

Just realized something, August is called the King of Magic right? Yet he doesn't even know a healing spell. -_-

Wielding that title doesn't mean he wield any type of magic out of the world...
He was impressed with Hyberion magic why would he get impressed by something he can use for himself :P?
He may be a master and knows alot about Barrier/Elemental/Body link etc. magic but in healing magic his skills may be lower or just Hiro wanted to show us what Brandish can do and explore they relationship more .

He knows the most magic ( probably ) not all that how he get his moniker.

 

[GodOfDestruction]

I've decided to put all the Spriggan in their own class, like an RPG class, here I go.

Ajeel-Bender
August-Mage
Brandish-???
Bradman-Demon
Dimaria-Knight
God Serena-God/Dragon
Invel-???
Irene-Enchantress/Witch
Jacob-Assassin
Larcade-???
Neinhart-Necromancer
Wahl-Sharpshooter

I couldn't find any for Invel, Brandish, and Larcade.
If you have any put them in
