Discussion The Official Relationship/Pairing/Shipping Thread

[Nemispelled]

I'd also love to see Natsu and Lisanna get another shot, they were quite cute together.

I agree. I prefer Natsu x Lisanna than Natsu x Lucy. NaLi had childhood development, which was integrated into the storyline pretty well. It would be cool to see them fight alongside one another in a battle, but the rate that the plot is going, that's going to be unlikely.

CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT? ON A SINGLE CHAPTER OMAKE?

(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) yeah sure. Development.wow much development compared to Nalu's from friends to much more development. Wow. Yeah. Omg.
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Even erza has had more amazing childhood development w/ Natsu than that nonexistent character. ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°

Yeah, and Natsu-Lisanna doesn't have the ridiculous ecchii that makes Natsu-Lucy fans keep using to desperately defend the pairing or claim development. When they were both naked and imprisoned, it was still a decent moment.

And I'm pretty sure we had more than an omake with Natsu and Lisanna, and they were done pretty well. Though, I think Lisanna would hold Natsu back in a fight far more than Lucy would.

 

[Raven]

Natsu x Lissana never existed and they had no development to start with. Natsu sticks up for Lucy and encourages her in just the way she needs it. They have a special relationship that isn't share with others. I love how Lucy can be herself around him, and vice versa. Natsu helps Lucy be a strong person and humbled in her some ways. Lucy herself helped Natsu develop a close friendship and companionship with someone other than Happy. Lisanna wasn't even really a factor. Sure they were friends but it wasn't as connected as him and Lucy ever were. Natsu can be his brash and firey self and either Lucy will scold him or support him. There is just so much to love about NaLu that some people just miss.

NaLu has the best development and it's better ship than Gruvia, Jerza or Gajevy. Those who ignore that can't read manga. The complains and bitching usually comes from Gaylu and Lolu livestock ships.
They started as friends then best best friends and now they are more than friends less than lovers and eventually will become lovers, You see they have a ground not like Gruvia or Gajevy or even Jerza that's why NaLu make the most sense hence they have more fans.

Lol, well at least there was serious talk about marriage between Natsu and Lisanna when they were children.

Not the typical "teenager love" where Natsu squeezes Lucy's boobs and then gets smacked on the side of his head.

Sure, there was talk of marriage when they were kids but that only really works if it is apparent they hold the same feelings into adulthood.

Kids usually say things that they change their minds about when they are older.

Anyway, I'm not trying to undermine your opinion. If you think NaLi is better then it's fine. I feel differently but I do respect it.

The important thing is discussing this stuff without causing a flame war or something and that's not really happened so...

I'm glad MH is a bit better than Tumblr in this regard, I've seen so much toxicity there.

Lol, same, I never expect other people to ship what I ship, that's just immature.

I respect all of your ships and can even find humor in the discussions. For all the people complaining about Tumblr and stuff, just let those people be. Their suffering will be their fault anyways.

MH should be better than Tumblr. It would be really disappointing if we weren't.


As for NaLi, I thought the pairing as a child was cool, but when Natsu and Lisanna met again in Edolas, that really reminded me of the old Fairy Tail days.

I personally thought there was a lot of potential for NaLi after Natsu and Lisanna saw each other again as grown adults.

Romance in fiction is best when two people in a relationship were separated due to a tragedy in the past, but later reunite when they find out that the other person is still alive.

That's the way romance should work.

Not having your head shoved into the folds of Lucy's boob and have Lucy scream while kicking Natsu in his face.

 

[M3J]

But at least there was more between Natsu-Lisanna than there is Natsu-Lucy. The best defense is ecchii, whereas Natsu and Lisanna had some romance when they were young.

And Gray-Juvia >>> Natsu-Lucy in terms of development and everything, even if Natsu-Lucy interactions are better.

I absolutely agree with you on the first part. MH should be held to a higher standard than Tumblr and for the most part it has.

I've seen people spew some vile things over ship disagreements there and I cringe every time I see them. I'm glad people are more tolerant over differing opinions here. I wish Tumblr was more like that but sadly, it isn't.

Getting back on topic, Zervis will be fine for me if they end up dying after winning over the Ankhseram curse, finally gaining the peace they never had due to it. Like Hohenheim from FMA, kinda, lived long enough and when everything is settled bye.

I would so love this, and I'm a fan of both Mavis and Zeref. I can safely say that Mavis (Zeref too cause he was the one who taught her Law) really was the cause of what's happening in the Alvarez arc and she should of been dead--if she could die--a minute ago. I would want them both to die to together over Zeref get FT'd. It's really really really gonna be interesting how Zeref's curse/Natsu's life tied to him will all turn out. Seems to me Zeref's curse will break in order to save Natsu.

Zervis to me was done amazing. No problems with it at all, it's legit a good ship. The tragedy side to it is what I like about the most and it was sad as hell Zeref loved Mavis more that made her go into a coma. Only complaint I've really ever seen was it seemed like Zeref is pedo or something.... how? In the flashback chapters anybody with two eyes can see he got cursed when he was a teenager. Mavis was 24 when her and Zeref kissed. Just cause she's 13 by appearance doesn't mean she's really 13.

I think in terms of his body, Zeref is about 16 or 17. They're both mentally older than their bodies. I personally enjoy the ship as we get to see sides to both of the characters we don't really expect.

Respect? And you go on sayinhboobs and all. You fail to see the beauty of nalu because you focus on thise things. NALU IS MUCH MORE THAN THAT.

And romance does not need to be dramatic though. Some romance are sweet & simple, some are passionate, etc

I think Natsu and Lucy are both good characters, but I don't see them as a good pairing. I think their ship is more dramatic than NaLi actually. Especially in the last few chapters.

Natsu and Lisanna actually had an interesting backstory, and the pairing could have been well integrated into the story if Mashima wanted that.

I've always thought that Natsu and Lisanna were a natural couple.

Even though NaLu has a lot of fanservice, that isn't the entire reason of why I don't support the ship.

 

[Gabo]

For the one who says that the Development of the NatsuxLissana is real or better than that of the NatsuxLucy I think that it should bring authentic examples shown in the manga outside that it disgusts or not a couple.

Why not be like this only one Hater of a couple and fanboy of the other.

The NaLi only had a Omake of "Development" and was not even the important one, it was Happy, although in the anime they wanted to look more, I think it was to see how many were swallowing the story of making a Shp War.

If the reason to say that it is wrong for the Ecchi, I think then better see another manga, the Ecchi in the Shounen is partly a way to put some more relationship between the characters, but only see Akamatsu where the characters with More Ecchi scenes are the ones that end up together.

Just look at the scenes of each pair and we will see that the development of the NaLu is much higher than the NaLis, even in the Fairy Tail Magazine, in the chips of Natsu and Happy clearly sees the importance of Lucy for them, much greater than the That Lissana may have

And I clarify, Lissana I like, but equally, that try to justify it with that because ... it is laughable.

An extra thing.

The one that some like the Ships do not do the Manga Cancer, or the Ships by themselves are not cancer, the couple relationships Humanize to the characters, they make to feel that they really are alive beings and not unidimensional personages, the wanting to blame of a Taste as you see a series is very unethical, because after all, it is only part of the Fandom, it does not affect how it is handled in the official plot to yes that I think generalize this Wrong.

In the end everything will always be a matter of likes, I could create in a theme ALL the reasons why MYSELF I see the couple with pleasure and could find a thousand blind spots to the others.

But we know that this is a matter of Fans, we do not know in the end how the Author will do.

Even if it bothers me to say that one has more development than the other without real evidence more than the typical ones of "I dislike myself for this and for it I do not think it should be given"

Remember that Mashima left us the possibility, either with NaLu, GruVia, GajeVy and JeRza.

There are as many clues as couples could give that really are few characters that could intrude without it being rare or illogical.

 

[Jko]

My take on a multitude of ships.

• NaLu (#1): Best relationship in the story.
• Elfgreen: They're pretty cute and like their interactions together.
• Jerza: Jellal needs to stop with the teen angst and I don't like Erza's shy nature when she's around Jellal. Wish she just acted the same around him without going all school girl.
• Gruvia: Juvia really needs a life of her own. It's sad her character got reduce to solely being Gray's wife.
• HappyCarla: They're adorable together. It's like the lowly commoner working his way into the heart of a princess.
• Nali: Stale and nonexistent at this point.
• AlBisc (?): I didn't like them at first but post x784 I really started to like them. They make an awesome family.
• Zervis: Meh, it'd probably be better when Zeref isn't trying to cause genocide.
• SherRen: Don't care for either.
• Gajevy: It was weird at first but I liked them now bcs of their development.
• Natza/Grayza/Gratsu: They're like siblings.
• GrayLu: Not for me.
• LoAries : Until Loke stops the playboy routine I don't see them happening.
• LoLu: Don't see how that'd work.
• Miraxus: Two badasses getting together and kicking ass together is just pure awesomeness. Laxus is a big softy on the inside and I'd think it'd be cool to see Mira bring that out.
• Dimcade: They act a lot similar and I like the little Dragneel parallelism going on.
• Saber 4: Ultimate fun foursome who are the hot squad of Fiore. Why stick them down to 2 when we all know they're all digging each other.
• Chendy: Rather wait till Wendy is in her later teens for her dating anyone. Little too young for my taste.
• RoWen: Same as above.
• LaLu: No just no.
• Fraxus: Could happen.
• Laxanna: No thank you.
• Bixanna: Where did that come from?
• Dimdish: Funny name, but I think they'd try to kill each other...again lol.
• Irene x anyone: Rather she stay single at least until someone worthy of her comes along.

 

[Gabo]

By the way, do not forget the Lucy sheet in Fairy Tail Magazine.

Although it manages 4 possibilities of Couple, is Natsu that is in the first place of interest and is equal more important in its list of relations with other characters.

I think the clues are pretty obvious

The Gray and Juvia character cards also leave interesting clues

 

[M3J]

Pretty sure that Lucy would prefer the person she spent the most time with, and someone who inspires her the most. Natsu actually inspires almost everyone in the guild, so yeah. She'd prefer Laxus over Natsu if he spent the most time with her and was a constant beacon of hope even in the darkest time. ANd while the pairing can be last (horrible excuse to justify the lack of development), Mashima can still develop it a bit and keep on making the pairing better as time goes by. He did the same with Juvia and Gray and Elfman and Evergreen. And by developing it and bringing them closer, I don't mean making it more ecchii and having LUcy react better to being sexually harassed or whatever.

But seriously, if Mashima goes with Natsu-Lucy, his skills as a writer will be put to the test by how he makes them a couple. It would be very hard to fuck this up. Ichigo and Orohime made little to no sense, Naruto and Hinata was not developed that well and made no sense, but at least Natsu and Lucy have something. Though, they on their best days will never beat Gray-Juvia or Elfgreen-Everman* on their worst days, to be honest.

* Elfgreen-Everman = Elfman-Evergreen

Pfft
Nalu beat any ship in fairytail. NaLu is what makes fairy tail popular as stated by Mashima in France interview 2016 (Ft is popular because Fans love their adventures). Stop spouting non sense and spams that has no meaning also your opinion is about Nalu ain't true it just an opinion so i'm not bothered by it.

Ichigo x Ori
Naruto x Hinata

is the right ships, but i can see why you don't like these ships because you can't understand manga.

And no, Natsu-Lucy doesn't really beat at least two ships. Gray and Juvia fought together and worked very well together. As far as I recall, Natsu just saves Lucy and takes over the fight. Elf and Ever are very tsundere and act like a tsundere couple, while Natsu and Lucy act like best friends, and Natsu inspires Lucy. And um, the fans love the adventures Natsu and Lucy (main characters) go on, but nothing suggests the fans love the pairing.

Your opinion about Natsu-Lucy isn't true either it's just an opinion backed by bias and expectations to the point that you'll reach hard to defend the pairing in any form, including ecchii or Lucy's reaction to sexual harassment as evidence of development. That's nonsense.

I actually like Naruto and Hinata, but it doesn't mean I'll delude myself into thinking it had proper development and everything. And I couldn't care less about pairings in Bleach, but there was barely any romantic development between Ichigo and anyone else, so it's ridiculous.
