I feel if there's any pairing that we'll actually see getting married, it'll be Natsu and Lucy. But I'm sure Gray and Juvia will definitively get together, and maybe an epilogue will show them as a family with their son.
Natsu x Lucy barley made any progress in the sequel. Gray x Juvia has been slowly moving forward at the end of the original series to the sequal. I think it would be kind of unfair for Natsu x Lucy to be 0 to a 100 suddenly. If you ask me it'd make more sense for Gray x Juvia to get married while Natsu x Lucy got together as an official couple. Its just going to be confusing as Natsu so far has been completely oblivious to love to this point even. I mean how do you make Natsu x Lucy believable at the end of this sequel if its been one sided so far.
I'm not really interested in debating NaLu here, but honestly, I don't think we'll actually see a wedding or anything like that for anyone, but we will see Gray and Juvia getting together (maybe at the end of this arc). At any rate, to tease NaLu to hell and back, and then leave its as the only unconfirmed pairing would be a slap in the face to readers.
I get that, shipping debates can be a Hell of annoying. I could see Juvia x Gray together as a possibility at the end of this arc. If they are separated for a long time in this arc between dimensions and there's Himiko ( I think that's the girls name? ) Hitting on him I could see that pushing him into wanting to start something with Juvia. I'd honestly love that to happen
Let's say it as it is:
I remember a similar situation with Sakura x Naruto in the Naruto fandom. Say Natsu x Lucy is the only pairing to remain unresolved of this series. I hope you guys won't send Hiro death threats for that like those guys did to Kishi when Naruto ended. Though that was more because he ended up with Hinata instead. If Natsu ( And I say big if ) He ends up with Lisanna instead than what would happen? Rave Master ended on a happy note with its main pairing, took a time skip if I remember right. Wonder if Hiro would do the opposite for Natsu x Lucy?
No way in hell should anyone with sense do something like that (of course this is the Internet), though i think it bares mentioning Mashima said in an interview that he favors Natsu with Lucy.
Naruto is not a good example when it comes to romance, XD.
I was a fan of sakura x naruto but not mad at kishi when naruto finished with hinata. But if natsu finished with lisanna I will not insult mashima but I will be very disgusted because lisanna and natsu had no relationship. For musica, I didn’t feel an affair with Reina.
Yes, but how would you react if the nalu doesn't happen?
Sakura x Naruto fans felt they had enough teasing in Shippuden I guess that they feel should have been confirmed. Kishi was never really great writing romance like some have said. I liked Hinata x Naruto myself but even i admit it was rushed along with his other pairings. Yes I'd be bummed if Gruvia didn't happen lucky that's not the case, I just wish Juvia could get her wish and get married but that's not too big of a deal I guess.
That's the annoying part, I like the pairing but Natsu has remained oblivious to Lucy's feelings even in the sequal. Moments is one thing, you could chalk it up as friends type moments too. That him punching snow Lucy and saying he considers all of them the same felt like regression. I'm still confused by all this excitement of him liking Lucy's boobs, all it does is confirm he's not into guys at least so that's something for shippers or he could be bi meh.
The funny thing is I like Lisanna (I'd argue she ships NaLu too), but the producers and/or director of the first anime seemed to take a serious shine to her, and so they took every opportunity they could to try and tease her with Natsu. That may have had something to do with it.
Yes, how lucky.
I'm not going to take Hakune's magic as gospel here, and you can't tell me that all that teasing is "just friends"; that's like seeing Katara calm down Aang in the Avatar state, and saying that they're "just friends". He also doesn't say "they're all the same", just they don't "smell like his friends". It's not like he'd say "these don't smell like my friends, and Lucy doesn't smell like Lucy".
Funny that, I was apart of that fandom when it was airing and remember those same type debates. Zuko x Katara shippers saying she only sees Aang as a little brother. I wasn't into either pairing but Katara's feelings for Aang really did give us mixed feelings in season three the first half. That play episode that felt like an Abridged series type LOL for example. Not that any of that matters as they clearly got together in the finale.

me or other folks too?Nothing change huh, The same old discussions
Idk, I guess our only way to be reassured that it'll happen is with Edo-Lucy telling Earth-Lucy that "everything should be fine" with her relationship with Natsu (even oblivious to her feelings, maybe he'll understand later in the sequel) so maybe I guess it's a teasing, but like you said, and I agree with you, we don't want Mashima to throw us at the end the "HEY, and by the way, did you know they were together ?"-shit, we want some character development godamnit !
Those are fandoms for you. Until a pairing actually solidifies, there's always fear that it won't.Nothing change huh, The same old discussions
