Discussion Spriggan 12 General Thread

[Ebony Maw]

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.

True, just thought it was strange, you'd think someone as wise as August would have delved into healing magic, especially given his comment when he protected Ajeel. This does make me wonder what the limit for Brandish's magic is if she could affect August...

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

After OS? You don't see that a lot...
I think this is my favorite arc after Tartaros, but I'm waiting for the end of the arc to judge it on its own..
But in terms of favorite villains mine are definitely:
1. The Spriggan 12
2. The Nine Demon Gates
3. F.Rogue and his Seven Dragons

Wait, I clearly remember you saying Future Rogue was your baby :3?

Well anyways, I don't really like the 12 too much aside from a certain few. They had so much potential yet most of it was wasted . They have a good lore but narrative-wise their execution is just disappointing imo.

My ranking of the 12 :
1. Irene Belserion
2. August
3. God Serena
3. Wahl Icht
5. Dimaria Yesta
5. Bradman
5. Brandish M
8. Invel
9. Jacob Lessio
9. Neinhart
11. Ajeel Lamur
Equal numbers mean they are equal for me :3
Not including Larcade because he hasn't been shown so we don't have an idea on his abilities, personality etc.

Might not be accurate. I'll edit this once I get my thoughts cleared up :P

EDIT : Edited my list

1). Why does he refuse to obey Zeref's orders?
2). Why isn't he a teamplayer?
3). Does he have a connection with Ikaruga?
4). Why does he rate himself above the other Spriggans?

Good post. He's indeed a mysterious Spriggan. It's a shame we will probably not get more information about him. I think I can understand number 1, 2, and 4, mostly because of his nature perhaps? Cocky, arrogant. As for number 3, I doubt that.

Also, there should be number 5, "What is the relationship between Irene and him?". This is not less important than another numbers. He was the first one who recognized Erza.

Now that you provided a panel Dimaria is in it, could it be she is the leader of South Spriggan team? Is leader even a thing in Spriggan teams?

Spoiler: Dimaria being suspected as the leader of South Spriggan team

 

[Doughboy]

Here's something to pass the time: did people ever peep this?

Spoiler: Cover 446 raw

One thing I found dope was that all the 12s had something golden on, making them truly truly look like they come from royalty lol:

• Brandish: golden choker and chains, gold jacket (check vol55 special page)
• Ajeel: golden neck tie thing and waist thing
• Invel: golden scrunchie lol
• Dimaria: golden gauntlet

Obviously can't see August but that's cool Hiro did this, gives off the impression they're all rich as hell---which they are living in a castle and shit. Watch Neinhart's armor is golden, Irene's hair lockets or nails on her gloves are golden, etc etc

Seen some some anonymous user on the wiki a minute ago point out that if you compare Louie Vuitton to what Randi wears it's hardly any difference lol it makes sense her outfits are fire like her

If there is a leader then it will be like this:-
i)August definetly in the east.
ii)South may be Dimaria.
iii)Irene in the north.
iv)West may be Invel though Zeref himself commanded that front.

I don't know what to say. I can't help but find it funny, hilarious, or amusing perhaps? I don't know if someone ever brought this up. Did anyone notice that female Spriggans have red, yellow, and green as their dominant color? Irene's is red. Dimaria's is yellow. Brandish's is green. Lol.

Female Spriggans rule the world!

PS. Unless Larcade is female lol

 

[Hermit]

That makes me think of the Powerpuff Girls or Spy Girls for some odd reason now lol..
Brandish-Buttercup
Eileen-Blossom
Dimaria-Bubbles
Wait I think I got something wrong in there lol

 

[Ebony Maw]

I've been thinking, is there a chance that Bradman survived due to Universe One? Since his body is the portal that Gajeel was sucked into shouldn't the spell have reformed him somewhere else too?

Due to the manga's logic he should return like Gajeel but I doubt it!!! Who else of fairy tail is able to defeat him because of his hax xD!?
Actually Gildarts must appear now, too if he is in Fiore but he probably won't

Good question. Bradman said he won't die alone and will take Gajeel with him. But Gajeel is alive and why always only good guys are reviving? The reviving of the bad guy would be nice, but it's Fairy Tail, so I don't have much hope

What is it with FT and people who don't appear when they should?

That said, Bradman returning would fix the current predicament of everyone important getting a Spriggan fight, he could be up against Sting (Holy magic dispels the Second Seal) and Rogue (Intangible). Honestly, I have no idea how the war was turning before Universe One, it was mainly through dumb luck and (Jellal, not Mavis) having decent tactics.

I love your idea but Sting and Rogue are probably too weak for Bradman. They'll need help from Minerva and co, I guess!
Yeah universe one changed a lot! Where is O6 and where the hell is Lacrede ( shouldn't he be with Juliet and Heine)? We know nothing about him and I wonder why. Maybe he's something special!?

I'm expecting quite a bit from Lacarde given that we've seen Irene and August fight before his reveal, though I'm not sure if Hiro will deliver, he feels like a Neinhart to me. I feel like he's going to be some sort of Take-Over wizard, perhaps an Angel take-over? They seem to exist.

Yeah, Team Sabertooth vs Bradman would be awesome, though I expect Bradman would be serious this time so he'd be incredibly challenging, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing Cobra and Midnight help them (they should be near).

 

[THE ALMIGHTY CRYBABY]

Pls no more Nineharts and Jacobs as spriggans, Hiro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angel-takeover sounds rly cool but I doubt that. Perhaps Lacrede has some connection with Obra!?

Thanks.

I'm waiting for Obra to come back, though I don't think Lacarde is connected to him. What I think is going to happen is that Obra will be at FT with Zeref (or did Universe One move him? lol) and he'll act as a wingman of sorts, draining the MP of anyone who arrives. As for Lacarde, I feel he'll approach Mira and co. after Juliet and Heine have been defeated seeking to use their disruption to his advantage. I'm getting a tactical vibe from him.

I was wondering who Bradman is. It was stated that he is able to use Kyuukimon's curse, but his origin was never stated. I originally thought he is a human, because we can see smiling mouth in mouth area of his mask (I ever brought this up in spoiler thread). But he turned out to be.. an Etherious demon perhaps? It is a shame sensei didn't elaborate on it. Bradman is sexy in his 3rd seal form though lol.

Someone on tumblr had a theory that when Zeref visited Tartaros' Cube back in Tartaros arc, he took Bradman's book and used it to embody Bradman and made him one of his personal shield (Spriggan 12).

 

[Demon Hunter]

isn't Larcade supposed to be female?? there should be 4 Spriggan chicks according to that first picture of Spriggan 12, iirc.

This would be a dope theory lol. The discussion on the wiki was because Levy confirmed he wasn't human and he uses Curses he's an Etherious demon, I'll buy it cause the only people we've seen use curses in FT were Etherious. Mira doesn't count cause she just took over Seilah during their fight and later took her body. I like that theory, hope with all the talk of the underworld/hell we'll eventually visit there

Spoiler: Spriggan 12

I think Larcade is the one right behind Dimaria, compare his 484 appearance to this pic.. it matches up

About Sting, there is one thing I don't get at all. Hiro emphasized the holiness of White DS magic (word "holy" in his attacks' name, stigma he put on Natsu, Rogue stating Sting's light would kill him if he went too deep in the darkness etc.), yet he probably forget about it in Tartaros arc, because by logic Sting should kill all demons with this holiness, yet he couldn't stand against one and without Rogue he wouldn't take another. Hiro like to bash Sting just like Gajeel
If it turns out that Bradman is indeed alive, then it would look strange, if Hiro finally recall it, which doesn't mean I don't want to see it

isn't Larcade supposed to be female?? they should be 4 Spriggan chicks according to that first picture of Spriggan 12, iirc.

Comparing Spriggan 12 designs with their silhouettes, I have an impression, that Hiro changed later some of the designs or few S12 members discovered plastic surgery I think that Larcade's silhouette from chapter 484 is more accurate and he/she look rather male, but who knows.
