I wouldn't mind NaLi happening tbh. Lisanna did always have a thing for Natsu so give them a bit more interaction that doesn't feel forced and you might be able to start getting towards it. I always did like NaLi more than NaLu tbh, then again, I like a fair few ships more than NaLu aha.
But being honest here, if that ship turned out canon it would have next to no actual build up. Imo it would feel artifical and unsatisfying.
I'm not against NaLi, I just don't see much going for it at this point. The majority of shippable moments between the two were from the anime fillers. If you're following along the manga, you'll only understand Lisanna's history as Mirajane and Elfman's sister.
Eh, I think if Mashima actually went in the direction of NaLi then he could do something, start getting things rekindled there and have Lisanna maybe start gunning for him again. He can do pairing stuff right, so he'd have to do it right so it didn't feel that way. I think for me it might feel better than NaLu though because I feel like anything NaLu is always just rammed down our throats a bit. I prefer them (Natsu and Lucy) as friends tbh.
Their endgame will be together, something I want like most people, but if this happens I don't think it would be a death blow compared to them being paired with someone else. I mean they're already like friends w/ benefits so even if they became canon nothing in the dynamic of their relationship would change. It will be outrage and burning in the fandom if they're the only pairing in the big4 not to be canon but hey, could be worse.
Perhaps Hiro will do a similar thing to Kubo in that after the endgame we get a timeskip to when all the canon ships are revealed
I hope he'll actually show at least somewhat of a final development before the timeskip as opposed to:Perhaps Hiro will do a similar thing to Kubo in that after the endgame we get a timeskip to when all the canon ships are revealed
The majority of the fandom love the 4 ships so i don't expect much salt. Most fans will be happy.
Not that I'm against this pairing, but at least two "proofs" don't belong in your spoiler as either Erza is telling Gray to have faith in someone or telling Gray about Juvia's feelings.
I haven't watched the anime fillers at all, but I remember there being quite a few moments between Lisanna and Natsu, at least in the flashback. Plus, there was that scene where both were naked in a cell, and despite Natsu sexually harassing Lucy multiple times, he respected Lisanna enough not to look at her (or look at her multiple times anyway). I think there is potential for both, without Lisanna needing to be integral to the story or as important as you want her to be. We just have to see her and Natsu interact more often, otherwise it'd look weird and out of the blue, like Naruto and Hinata did when Naruto basically forgot her confession.
It's usually the fans that shove Natsu-Lucy down our throats, otherwise I haven't really seen that in the manga much. Well, before this arc anyway. Lucy hanging out with Natsu makes a lot of sense because he's the light and beacon of hope in a lot of his guild members' lives, and he's the one who brought Lucy into FT. They trust each other immensely, but it's kinda odd that Natsu is with Lucy constantly when he has other guild members he's grown up with.
There is only 1 flashback with Lisanna in the manga. That was in the Happy's egg omake. Well, Mirajane also had a flashback but Natsu wasn't in it (it was just a scene of Lisanna "dying"). I'm not sure how the prison scene furthers Natsu and Lisanna's relationship, but I suppose that counts as an interaction.
Odd, as I seem to remember more interactions between Lisanna and Natsu when they were kids. At least, some things that suggested or said childhood romance anyway. Barely remember the omake as well, but I think we saw the flashback between Lisanna and/or Natsu around when the other dimension was revealed? Could have been before the arc as well.There is only 1 flashback with Lisanna in the manga. That was in the Happy's egg omake.

Well, I meant moments like this where Lucy would be affectionate towards Natsu. You might only see it as friendship and super deep trust, but super deep trust is not a bad start.
Nali never existed to start with, Anime team added more between them.There is only 1 flashback with Lisanna in the manga. That was in the Happy's egg omake.

Well unless I missed something, there's only the Happy's egg omake if we're talking about when Natsu and Lisanna were kids. There was a sort-of flashback during the Edolas arc, but it wasn't of when they were kids. It was of Lisanna finding out that everyone was from earthland. I think Mirajane and Elfman from Edolas told her it was okay to leave afterwards. It's probably around chapter 199-201.
Well you should go to Tumblr. Grayza fans are louder than the other Gray minor ships mostly because they always throw hate at Juvia and Jellal in their analysis, so ship wars happen lol. Overall many people still like it so don't worry!Sadness. Nobody ever mentions my first couple I liked. It was an early pairing too.
You have to work hard
To be this cute
This much fun
And this sexy
He was so happy to beat her
And he left Juvia for her
He works with her
But stands up to her
Protecting her from herself as when she wanted her arm cut off
Trusting each other
Sleeping together
Staying with each other through others driving them crazy
Otp material
aethestically pleasing
Not actually crack because they have canonly romantic moments
Even had published fan art by the manga
"And Gray said he would turn into a demon to beat Erza.
"
Thus I believe his trump card will be used on Irene.
But then realized it wouldn't happen so....
Can't help but love it tho.
Especially when everyone in the fandom only cares about Natsu ships like there's nobody else in the story and then complain when he gets panel time.
And Gray is a more sexualized male than Natsu thus he should be shipped more. And typically doesn't go around wanting to fight the females or is being a perve toward them. This Gray should have it pretty well with ladies.
I get people like the big 4 and they like smaller pairings like Graylu, Nali, Naza.
But this pairing gets a moments every 20-40 chapters. Yet. No love by fandom.
Why is this pairing hated?
I totally get what your saying now. When I added that panel I was intending to show how open they were around each other as oppose which is hallmark of really close friends and I tend to ship close friends (my favorite pairings are always friends before romantic) so it made sense to me. Thanks. Not sure if I should edit that now.
I don't really do Tumblr much but I have friends on there who send stuff I like.
No not like that, Fairy tail is 70%~85% finished i believe, Males like Gray and Gajeel got their girls already in this arc and pretty much confirmed their feelings through Invel and Bloodman fights. Jellal and Erza already reached this level from ages. The chances of any of them to end up with different person is very low hence you don't see many Gray ships debates but you still observe few ppl who delude themselves.
Yea I agree that Jellal and Erza got their relationship early and the Gajevy and Gruvia moments make them akin to confesses couples who are together for all purposes now. I was just meaning it's fun to branch out. Same as "vs fights" that center around same characters (Laxus, Natsu, Erza). Nothing serious. Just different. Like Freed and Mirajane was a popular ship at beginning but pretty much died. Because the big 4 especially nalu vs alternate pairings just usually involve arguing around the same points that have been stated 500 times. Plus we practically get weekly moments with nalu. And it along with Zervis is the last of the big ships Mashima can tease. So that means we will get a lot more in future too.
And vice versa, that because their fan base is big so there are many fans but many haters as well.
