"Be like Minerva" party? :D

Very nice picture, I like the dress Sorano is wearing, although I don't know what happened with Yukino's bottom - it's shape is strange :s And it would be nice, if they included Kagura too ;)
Why only Kagura?Add Milliana in it too.

That will be the best.

I thought about Kagura, because she was with Twins, Yukino, Sorano and Minerva, all in the same place ;) But yeah, Hiro could include more girls copying Minerva's style, I think she looks really stylishly, it would be nice to see.

END rocking Dimaria we already knew of though bro @Asorx. We just now know he used his powers twice to break free and attack Dimaria, then to attack her again after seeing what she did to Lucy. Him breaking free of the magic sealing stones, it's same what kyoka did during Tartaros, curse power is still available to them, him breaking it with brute force ain't hard to believe either. More like why him or Gray can't check pluses lol. I wanna see Capricorn star dress too but he doesn't have powers so idk why kind of ability it will have. Killing enemies by reading poems to them, maybe.

"Mostly everything about Erza is recent made up" lmao that makes so much sense, no wonder her character is so broken. It's like and I'll be fair, Erza has a likable personality, sad but great and lit backstory, cool magic and clothing designs. But it's simply when Hiro wants to get by something impossible he uses her like Goku and I hate that. Hiro recently making stuff up is probably a tactic he used on August (smh rip) to get him to not die by dumb shit like Cana beating him.... but he still ended up dying by dumb shit lol. It has worked though with Erza with the stuff I pointed out besides her whack ass fights and small menial character flaws that tentaimaho mentioned that was accurate, but every character has them. In regards to Acnologia, Hiro should of clarified why he couldn't smell her. Most of us guessed it's caused of the enchantment Zeref used on her to shape her into a human but it's still not clear.

This line is funny as shit though:

When I introduced her into the story, her magic, relationships with Jellal and Natsu weren't decided yet.
So basically Natsu could of been what Jellal is to Erza in the story and vice versa with Jellal as Natsu... think about this real quick. Natsu would of been Jellal in the "kiss scene" with Erza, Natsu would of been saved by Kagura in her cpr scene, and Jellal would be more around and less MIA and even might have something with Lucy. Lol, @Council (^^)/ might really be onto something :facepalm

I don't like that "recent made-up" thing that Mashima has said. I know that the whole story can't be planned from the beginning, but I thought that arcs had been overall planned before they started. Judging by what Mashima wrote, it looks like Mashima introduced Irene not knowing what to do with her. That explain why her existance is a one big plot hole...

No Natsu and Jellal characters was set ( Natsu as an MC and Jellal as a Villian/Council Member ) from the start
Her Relationship status with Either Jellal or Natsu weren't decided mean that Hiro wasn't sure if go with Lucy or Erza as love interest for Natsu but well it end up with Nalu and Jerza ( one of the reasons Hiro decided to bring back Jellal ) Not that they will switch places as characters :hurr

Judging by what Mashima wrote, it looks like Mashima introduced Irene not knowing what to do with her. That explain why her existance is a one big plot hole...
He decided some time ago that Irene will be a mother of dragonslayers but that she will Erza mother was decided briefly before her introduced in the story which changed few things and create few plot holes ( Like Acnologia not sensing DS 2 meters away from him because like Hiro saying " She still needs to meet with Erza " )

So Lisanna was always the tertiary love interest? Or maybe quaternary? Cuz wasn't Wendy suppose to be older with a split personality and a tsundere love with Natsu and water magic but then Mashima realized he already had a character like that for Gray.

Added: but really the beginning of the series was open
Natsu x Lucy
Natsu x Erza
Gray x Erza
Gray x Lucy
Erza x Lucy
Gray x Natsu
Loke x Lucy

Even if you go back and look Jellal said "so that's where you have been hiding Natsu?!" Like he has been searching the world for his lost brother.

Mashima just being truthful it was suppose to end right before/around toh. 10 books. And was suppose to be about friends going on adventures together.... relationships were ambiguous. Plus in a mystery of fairy tail Mashima played around with how you weren't suppose to know if Erza or Lucy was the lead female.

No, Wendy was meant to be a kid based off from somebody saying FT doesn't have many kids. And yeah she was meant to be a water dragon slayer with a wand.

I'm pretty sure Hiro had decided how Jellal and Erza's relationship were going to be by the Tower of Heaven arc. Or at the very latest, by the end of the Oracion Seis arc. Jellal was introduced in chapter 1, and Erza was introduced in like chapter 10. There's a lot of time between that time, and Tower of Heaven arc. The part about not knowing immediately what he was going to do with Erza's relationship probably didn't apply to anything post-TOH.

She could have been his sister or mother not supposedly lover considering Mashima words everything related to her is last second thing.

Oh ok. I remember she was suppose to be a water dragon slayer and now with your post I remember it was wher Wendy's character had a split personality and changes when she gets angry. Thanks ^_^

Added: In Wendy’s initial character setup, her personality changes when she gets angry. She had a split personality. I’m glad I abandoned that idea.

I will always say it was because Natsu was originally planned to be Jellal's brother. If you look back you will see how Jellal mentioned knowing stuff about Igneel. Also foreshadowed he has been searching for Natsu. And also that Jellal needed Natsu.

And I think that's why Mashima made Jellal take a huge
"L" in Alvarez because Zeref and him are too similar and Mashima wants to focus on Zeref.

Cuz let's be honest. If Zeref is ever cured and doesn't kill himself, he won't feel he's worthy of Mavis love so will set out on a journey to passify his 400 year guilt while collecting former spriggans to defeat dark guilds.
Jellal 2.0

I think this is Mashima's philosophy too.


Cuz if you look at it.

Natsu has had moments with lots of women (Ultear, Yukino, Flare, Brandish??) but always returns to Lucy.

The only two he never had any moments with were Levy and Juvia.

And Gajevy and Gruvia were the fastest to canonize.

Oh bet I understand now lol their roles towards Erza could of been switched, my main point. Not their actual character roles. Still weird thinking of it like that, how different would FT be in Erza's perspective if their roles were switched?

No, I think Erza's relationship with Natsu and Jellal were set probably by the end of the tower of heaven arc - and certainly by the end of the Oracion Seis arc. It probably wasn't anywhere near as ambiguous by the beginning of the GMG arc. There's also the fact that Hiro works on chapters ahead of their actual release date. The stuff we see like the Jellal and Erza almost kiss scene could have been drawn when we were getting chapters mid-way through the Tenrou Arc.

That's possible. However, Zeref was already a character when Lullaby was introduced. So unless Natsu's identity as END wasn't planned at that time, Jellal was probably not meant to be Zeref. It's possible that Zeref had a different role though.

I got you bro, I was meaning as Erza's Pov toward Natsu could of been her Pov towards Jellal and vice versa before everything was set in stone. Or her Pov towards either of them could of been like Laxus or Makarov or Gildarts. I'm just throwing those 2 out there as their roles could of been switched or used differently because that's what Hiro mentioned
