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.

I agree that Natsu has the most ships debate, That because the Nalu ship haters wants him to end up with any girl but Lucy that's why you see ppl claiming that Nali or Natza could have a better ground if done right but that ain't true because Nali or Natza never existed to start with.
Do not forget that the nalu is an invention of fandom, not Mashima, but he does know how to get juice from that pair (with pure fs, among them). XD
In addition Mashima never denied the possibility that there is romance between Natsu and Erza.

Well, he kind of has denied it due to Jerza's existence.

We pretty much know what the final pairings are going to be at this point and the only one that's still pretty cloudy is NaLu. It has developed as much as the other ones but if I were a betting man, I'd say there will be substantial improvement in that department once Natsu wakes up as END.

If NaLu is an invention of the fandom, then so is Natza.
Both Natsu and Erza are paired off with people whom they are more likely to end up with than each other.
Like GamerSkull says, Jellal and Erza is a pretty strong pairing.

I think jerza has no future, remember that Mashima revived Jellal for an impulse, not because history will really need it. Also, that Erza and Jellal are seen nothing happens between them, just a hello and a goodbye. I even think Meredy has more chances to stay with Jellal.
The nalu does not have a hint of romance between them, practically Lucy is the abused in that "relationship," and remember that Natsu is END and Natsu is the only one who can tell if he lives or dies. Remember that Mashima is the king of the flashback, perhaps make a memory in which Natsu and Erza have met in the past and have fallen in love at first sight.

Nah, Natsu and Erza are destined to be together, especially because Erza is the daughter of a powerful DS and a dragon (it seems).
Jellal is just a crying emo, with a little princess complex, he does not deserve Erza.

Mashima isn't the king of flashbacks, that would be Kishimoto actually.

If there was a flashback of Natsu and Erza falling in love as children, then that would be the biggest troll move of the decade. I agree with you in that I don't particularly care for Jerza's relationship, but I doubt that Mashima is going to go back on it.

Well that's true, but in Fairy Tail, Mashima is king. :)
It's just a theory, remember that both are 400 years old and would be a credible flashback between them. The jerza is a weak couple, it is more like a good friendship than another thing.

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 Lucy was drunk at that time. Still, there's other times where Lucy is affectionate towards Natsu like after the his fight with Gray. It might not be a declaration of love, but it is intimate - which like I said, is not a bad place to start building a relationship. And if we want a bold Lucy, the 514 spoilers have Lucy being quite bold. :P
One of us might be, and it's probably me missing something as you're an FT otaku while I'm in it only for the humor.

Well, she's biased towards him due to their history, so it's not that shocking, really. Wouldn't you be biased towards a someone who played a big part in your happiness and finding something you love? Towards a person who beats the odds no matter what and helps or protects everyone?

Haven't read the spoilers nor do I have any inclination to do so. I don't want to be accused of trolling, so all I'll say is that my opinion of FT isn't that positive to warrant not being surprised. but if LUcy is being bold, then :arf
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.

And the mini rant wasn't so much complaining about Natsu ships as much as Natsu is less sexualized toward women in general being more dense and wanting to fight. Yet as main he gets the most debate over his ships. While Gray is more of a lover and he does have his girl Juvia but has had good interactions with many females Mira, Lucy, Ultear, Erza. Think he had a chapter cover with Mira making him breakfast. Even his filler fight with Sorano was sexy. That's all I intended.
Up to you if you want to edit that, but I don't think it's them being open as much as it is Gray disagreeing with Erza or Erza telling Gray to believe in whom I assume is Natsu. Erza is usually like that with most FT members, even more so with Natsu, Lucy, and Gray.

Natsu gets the most debate because he's the main character and isn't established yet. It's the fans making shit up about Natsu-Lucy, Natsu-Lisanna, Natsu-Erza, and whatever else, but it's completely up in the air with the winds pointing towards Natsu-Lucy. I mean, Lucy's preference for Natsu is clear, Gray and Juvia are nearly established, we have Gajeel and Levy, and Erza and Gellal are in love with each other with Erza saying she sees Gray and Natsu as her little brothers. Other than Natsu, who has shown no interest in anyone so far, most others are established or nearly established that any other pairing would be crack pairing. I'm sure before the tournament or Alvarez Arc, there might have been debates about Gray and Ultear as well.

Do not forget that the nalu is an invention of fandom, not Mashima, but he does know how to get juice from that pair (with pure fs, among them). XD

He actually did deny the possibility when he had Erza say she considers Natsu and Gray like her brothers. She has even bathed with them many times too, and the feeling for few arcs has been more like an older sister.

Erza has never said that they are his brothers, only that they are very good friends. :D

Denying Natsu/Lucy at this point is just either idiocy or the fact that your pairing won't happen. The fact of the matter is its no one else but them..

You can like Natsu/Erza all you want but in the context of the story it's not going to happen and you know that besides the convoluted arguments and clear denial. Same with Loke/Lucy Gray/Lucy Gray/Erza

It's clear what his preference is.. Don't care for Gray and Juvia in the slightest as a pair yet the intention of them is there.

In fact I should be thanking Mashima. His romance is either at decent or pretty good and the fact he doesn't force unnecessary drama with love triangles and it's mostly the fans who are too blind too see the obvious

He makes his pairings obvious and doesn't bullshit bait. Is it cliche? Yes it is yet cliches are not bad and it's a lot better than these other mangakas thinking they can create "White Album 2" romances yet only to completely fail and the fanbase gets divided

If you can't do it then don't do it

I would love to see @Council (^^)/ write some Natsu x Erza fan fiction. I think it would be pretty cool.

Anyway, Jerza is obviously gonna happen much like NaLu is more likely to happen than not. Thinking anything different at this point is just setting yourself up for disappointment and if Mashima actually switched that up... then it would be one of biggest troll moves he's ever done.

I'd lowkey like to see that happen though just for the entertainment of seeing people on Tumblr go nuts. Don't judge me.:cheez

NaLu: the question isn't IF it will happen but WHEN.
If there is one thing Mashima excels at, its catering to his fans. He writes his manga according to fan reactions so there is no way NaLu won't end up becoming canon.

I'm actually hoping we get some real romantic development between the two after END awakens because that is where the greatest potential of both of them stepping out of their naivete is. I suppose we'll have to wait and see.

I will say that I respect the opinions of those that disagree with me. :)

NatsuxErza is very cool. :)

Meredy may be the cause of the breaking of the jerza and the beginning of the JellalxMeredy, in the case of the nalu: they are more than friends, but less than lovers and I do not think Mashima changed their relationship.
Remember that chapter 515 comes out on December 28, the day of the innocent, maybe it will be a troll chapter. :D
