I think Natsu and Lucy are actually the most popular who aren't in a canon relationship of any kind. The only defense the pairing has is main characters who spend time with each other, which somehow means they end up together.
If you don't think that nalu are a couple and that hiro mashima will make them cannon in the end then either you are trolling or are simply someone not worth messaging back. Nalu has gotten more attention than any couple and hiro mashima made the big 4 clear on his twitter with those spinning posts messaging you has being a waste of my time.

He actually means that they haven't realized any romantic interest or feelings towards each other which is kinda true.

Also, it would be kind to refrain from calling someone a troll or a waste of time just because they have a different view on the matter :/

Where are they a couple? how are they a couple? what have they done to make them a couple? Natsu feeling Lucy's tits? Lucy, like others, being confident in Natsu and wanting him to save them? There's nothing to indicate they're a couple, at all, other than the fact they spent the most time with each other. Juvia and Gray and Jellal and Erza have more moments as couples together whereas Natsu and Lucy have more "bromances" together.

I don't give a shit about his Twitter. If Mashima tweeted Natsu will die and Lucy will end up with Laxus, are you going to believe that? Especially when Mashima can just as easily lie? Natsu and Lucy have gotten more attention as a duo, but not as a couple. No one has given any sort of concrete evidence of that, other than showing Natsu doing something for Lucy that he has done for others.

Then don't message me with your delusions and lack of proof. Problem solved. This is an evidence that Natsu-Lucy shippers are probably the worst out of all the FT shippers, just because they can't handle the truth. ANd before you whine about it, no I am not against this shipping in any way, just against ridiculous claims.

Why can't Hiro's twitter be used as support for a pairing? Sure the pictures he draws might not necessarily be part of the main storyline, but they give us a window into his mind. They let us understand how Hiro likes to see his own characters. At the very least, we can say that he's drawing what he enjoys. If he enjoys putting two characters together in his twitter doodles, then that's a really good sign that he probably has plans to make them cannon in the storyline. Hiro usually doesn't give spoilers on his twitter, so you don't have to worry about him giving spoilers like "Natsu is going to die and Lucy will end up with Laxus". Though honestly if he did announce that he intended to have that be the case in future chapters, I really don't see why we should doubt him if he's being serious about it.
When Hiro gives out a tweet like this, I don't see anything wrong with NaLu fans using this as something to reinforce their belief that Natsu and Lucy are likely to become cannon. Now I don't believe NaLu is cannon just yet, but I feel the amount of fanservice they've been getting since the timeskip has been increasing. Mashima did say that he's going to introducing more romance into the story, and 3/4 of the most popular pairings have gotten strong moments in the Alvarez arc. The way I see it, it's only a matter of time before Natsu and Lucy eventually follow suit.

Finally read your private message. Copy + paste, except you ended the message with calling me a "retard." All I need to not ever take you seriously, thank you. Also backs up my point about Natsu-Lucy shippers.

Because it's not in the manga, therefore it's not canon? I mean, for all we know, Hiro doesn't care about Natsu-Lucy, he just wants to tease people with the pairing. When is he going to make them canon in the storyline? When the manga ends? The only difference between that and the ending of Bleach and Naruto would be that Natsu-Lucy makes sense, and no one who isn't against the shipping should have a problem with it.

Obviously an example. But I also don't see why we shouldn't doubt him. As bad a writer as Hiro is, he's not dumb enough to announce his plans for the manga, other than possibly saying "Gray will look awesome this year!" or "maybe I'll work on Natsu-Lucy this month!" Which is not saying much anyway. I still see no reason to go by Twitter, especially if he's just providing fan service for his ardent Natsu-Lucy fans as they barely have any romantic moments together compared to Juvia and Gray or Jellal and Erza.

When Hiro gives out a tweet like this, I don't see anything wrong with NaLu fans using this as something to reinforce their belief that Natsu and Lucy are likely to become cannon.

They act as if it's fact or proof of development when it's not. It's not in the manga, therefore it shouldn't be taken as anything but artwork/fan service. The fact is, there's nothing there now, and there was not much there in the beginning to suggest romance or development of relationship towards love. It's just friendship at this point, they care about each other deeply, trust each other deeply, and will risk their lives for each other, but in no way does that ever say romance or budding romance.

As long as it's done well (even Kishimoto cannot possibly fuck this up), it's all good with me. Hell, I'd probably accept either side confessing, even if the other side is unsure, just because at this point, that's all it should take. but right now, it's not canon pairing, it's just an assumed/potential canon pairing.

I would not mind the last few chapters being about those pairings, whether establishing them as legit couples or seeing them get married. Same with Erza and Jellal, hopefully. I'm pretty sure Natsu's gonna survive anyway, regardless of what Zeref said about his death meaning Natsu dies. There's a chance Lucy will do something to revive Natsu, if it comes to that, like kissing him or slapping him with her tits or something. Either way, Natsu-Lucy should come last, while Juvia-Gray should come first as they're more established and developed.

Natsu and Erza. It was setup too perfectly in Tower of Heaven with how much they cared for each other, their history, and just their chemistry. I loved it and still do. NaLu will forever not cross my mind as viable.

The current ship I support most is Dimaria x Brandish love their chemistry and relationship. I got a crack ship I like too Dimaria x Kagura pretty sure Mari would love Mermaid Heels guild
But... But...

I completely Agree that Dimaria would love MH I think everyone of us knows that feelings that as kids we enter Toy/Candy store Dimaria would be that kid:D

@Brandish x @DiMaria Yesta sounds cool with me there is something between these two ( I saw them sendings PM to each other:teehee )
I would like more Kagura with Brandish than with Dimaria tbh :zomg ( but either of that ships would be glorious :whistle)

Brandish and Dim's have more going for it that just PM's ;) they have a lot of the built up tension and also a hug. BUT.... the most the dude who is most down with the soul called DimDish friendship...


I know... just a statement... but it's Larcade, I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt here.

But Brandish doesn't really have anyone else to ship with. I've only ever crack shipped her with Mari, God Serena and Laxus.

Natsu and Erza is easily better than Natsu and Lucy, but sadly they see each other as siblings more than anything else. I agree that there's far more there than the other pairing, but it likely isn't meant to be.

I deff don't agree with easily better but gotta admit bro that from watching the anime at first then hopping to the manga, I deff got that vibe that Natsu and Erza could be a thing. Then Lisanna got introduced and she was the typical "childhood friend I-have-a-crush-on-you" person so I was like "oh bet, Natsu will end up with her probably I guess" then the Kain fight happened and I was like yeah Natsu and Lucy gonna be endgame lol. Hiro making Natsu save Erza in the ToH arc was what started it all

Eh, their interactions are much better and developed, but one can argue that's more due to Natsu and Erza seeing each other as siblings. I don't watch anime, so I wouldn't know. But I did think Natsu might end up with Lisanna and didn't really think about Natsu-Lucy until people here brought it up. Then I thought it's just as possible because both are main characters who spent time with each other and are usually seen with each other, even though they both barely have developments in the romance side.

Natsu-Lucy is most likely to happen, while Natsu-Lisanna is second most likely, IMO, at the end. Natsu-Brandish is an interesting pairing, though. Can't see that happening, but I wanna see how they really react with each other and the chemistry.

I'm doing a case study, collecting data and opinions on women. Need some help with this question: whose harem is better?









The caveat is Wendy, you can picture/assume she's at the Edolas version of herself now to make it even. Bias and long comments are welcomed. Thanks for participating.

I've got to say that I prefer Jellal's harem over Natsu's. I mean you've got Erza in both so she's not really a deciding factor, but with the other three girls, I think I prefer Ultear, Meredy and Kagura over Lucy, Wendy and Lisanna. Of course, these three on Jellal's side arguably have the better looks, so that is one deciding factor, but another one of the things thats a deciding factor for me here is their characters in the story. I much prefer Ultear (one of the best antagonists FT has had to date), Meredy and Kagura to Lucy, Wendy and Lisanna because I find these characters much more interesting and engaging. What I can say for the girls on Natsu's side is that Lucy really doesn't do anything for me character-wise. Wendy is alright and Lisanna can be next to non-existent most of the time now so its not too interesting. On the other hand, you have Ultear who has been a great antagonist in the past and her change of face made me like her character even more, with her sacrifice in the GMG being really meaningful. Kagura is great too, I really like her character and writing a Jegura fanfic has also helped me like her character a bit more :P Meredy is a pretty decent character, again there's the looks appeal like the other two and then there's her character which I think has had some nice development.

Case study... so you're like Jiraya right, conducting research?

Oh yes Edo Wendy. She's about the same level as any of Jellal's Harem.

Seriously Jellal's girls are all 10's or near 10's. I used to ship him with Ultear before ToH. JeRza for life. Never shipped him with Meldy or Kagura though (JeGura is like conspiracy theories for me ;) << bait)

Hahaha, well at least you didn't label it as a crack-ship like Miraxus as so many do. But rest assured, when I do finish some of that Jegura fanfic, I'm sure it'll go from a conspiracy theory to one of your top three favourite ships. I know @somasora7 is craving it so I should probably get around to at least finishing off part one xD

Damn you just had to rub it that Miraxus is still crack...

@Vici ships JeGura too. So I guess there are few crazies on this forum :p

JeGura would be shipped for me if there wasn't Simon history. Plus JeRza is so good.
