>>287763484Another week, another chapter.
>>287763654Phrasing
Wendy bouncing on Natsu's fat cock.
>even Igneel gets his fights hijacked by NatsuSasuga
>>287763599I don't know if Mashima is aware of the potential this got.
Man at times you wish they used JP text for moves like that.
Calamity Bloods? More like Gold Owl 3. Or 4, lost count of stupid jobbers lately. Could even be 5, considering Faris's own jobbers. When was the last time the opponents weren't huge jobbers? Diaboros? Selene's mooks? Oh man, that is kinda sad.Also imagine wanting Lucy or Wendy to ever do anything cool eh?See you in two weeks.
>>287763894>>287763918Look at my newest, bullshit, asspull, powerup one-shot move
>>287763599I thought it was E.N.D but I also forgot how the original series ended.
Now go on over and have sex with your wives, Natsu. They're in the mood, I promise.
>>287763940Thanks OP
Surely Wendy will win her next fight by betting a move like this right?
>>287763940It's the way Mashima writes the fights over 90% of the time. The opposition of the arc curbstomps the FT member, then in the next chapter or the one after that the FT member has a flashback and/or realizes something and with a new technique which they just came up with one or two-shots the opposition. Sometimes with friendship speech involved of course.
>>287763599I never gave too much thought to what Igneel’s human form would look like (or if he even had one) but I never imagined it would be like this. Almost feels like he should have longer hair, like Ignia. Still cool though
>>287763615It’ll always be a little weird to me how every dragon in the series just happens to know one another. Aldoron also knew who Igneel and Atlas Flame were randomly.
>>287763810>bottom right panelIs it this long?!
>>287763599L-Laxusbros!?
>>287763599Now I need Grandeneey's form.
>>287763771>>287763869Man the action looks too stiff and rough this chapter.
>>287764145That has been a thing since the beginning.
>>287763940So, by my calculations, the new chapter of Dead Rock should be coming out this Tuesday. I've been looking forward to that more these days.
>>287764145Randomly? Igneel was the Fire Dragon King.
>>287764213Wouldn't it just be similar to Porlyusica?
>>287764375Being an old hag?
>>287763599I took a gander at the Japanese version, and apparently Igneel talks like a younger man than usual when in Natsu's body (normally he talks like an old man).
>>287763599Pretty bizarre to see him as a human desu
Human dragons were a mistake
>>287764247NTA, but this is a special case where they were partners in the plan to take down Acnologia. Pages like this (>>287763654) prove that they even met each other's Dragon Slayer kids in person.Even so, Igneel's title as the Fire Dragon King clearly wasn't just for show if he was this famous.
>Igneel shows up>instantly jobs>goes back to Natsu>all in the same chapterMashima still is one of the worst writers of all time
>>287764501A grumpy old man.
>>287764048>Wendy>winning a fight
>>287764715That's what PLfag and Erzafag have been saying.
>>287763940I said it before and I’ll say it again, this biweekly schedule is killing me, it should be WEEKLY.
>>287763940Not to shill Dead Rock or anything since it's still same old Mashima but slightly edgier, but I remember the fight against Vice Principal Bren where Yakuto (the MC) got an out-of-nowhere power-up and still couldn't handle him on his own. It took a team effort with all of Yakuto's friends pitching in to beat him, and just one chapter after it seemed like they'd all be completely ineffectual.I'd like to see that in Fairy Tail again. Like the Dragon Slayers vs. Faust. That was the good stuff.
>>287763940Fire & Flame…
>>287764828>ErzafagThe fuck makes an Erzafag complain about powerscaling? Erza is second only to Natsu when it comes to hogging fights and getting sucked off by the narrative.
>>287764048Wendy would job, badly
>>287763940We’re still in the final arc, right?
>>287765270Pretty sure he was talking about . . .
By the way, we have the volume 7 cover for DR. This time it's Fem-Zeref.That's one cover for all the MCs now. I wonder who will be used for volume 8.
>>287764910What chapter was that?
>>287765695For Dead Rock, it was chapters 12 and 13.For Fairy Tail, it lasted from chapters 191 through 194.
>>287763940Is he getting tired or what?
>>287765586The fire girl with the hair eye unless it's the final volume, that one will have god.
>>287763599>whitedropped
>>287763599WHO>>287763615HOLY DILF
>>287763599Is he blonde?
>>287764375And what about the other dragons?
>>287763844>>287763940OH COME ON, that was it for Igneel?? Come the fuck on!
>>287766072At the current rate, it will go beyond Vol 8. But it looks like the volumes might be dialing back how many chapters they have. It's been five chapters per volume since Vol 3, but Vol 7 is scheduled to have just four chapters. If Vol 8 also has four chapters, then it's possible Mashima is gearing up for the end.
>>287763844He will be back.
>>287766189Ignia has orange-red hair, so Igneel probably has the same.
>>287764910>it seemed like they'd all be completely ineffectual.How?
>>287763940Thanks
>>287766478You know Mashima's usual pattern for "team" fights where it's 5 (or more) against 1? The MC and his friends gang up on the villain, but none of their attacks work until the MC gets a powerup that works on the villain, and the MC's friends all hang back and leave all the fighting to him.This fight follows the first half of that pattern up to Yakuto's powerup giving him the raw power to hurt Bren, but Bren is still too strong for raw power alone, so Yakuto's friends stay in the fight to back him up: creating openings, distractions, and getting Yakuto in position for the killing blow. It was a real team effort, and it was nice.
>>287763599Who wins?
The biweekly schedule really fucked up the pacing
>>287767560Yeah, it's really not the same compared to being weekly, imagine if it was monthly like DR.
>>287767737The average DR chapter has around 10 pages more than the average FT chapter.
>>287763599I do not care about this one bit, Igneel should've just been a dragon and stayed dead for good.If Mashima wanted to give Natsu a power up he should've just went with the END route of which he cucked us out of in the main series.
>>287768212His fight against Mercphobia is the closest we've gotten to END's return. There's a chance it will stay that way.
What if Natsu and Lucy had sex and during the middle of it Igneel took over Natsumi body and manifested?
>>287768283Or Dragon Cry.
>>287768340Would that be considered cheating?
>>287768466While the villain of Dragon Cry recognized him as END based on the description, I'm mostly convinced that was just Natsu's dragonized form, not his demonized form.And while the thing with Mercphobia had nothing to do with demons, the design and Natsu's personality matched END much more closely.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc6UV_ayF0E
>>287768584Fair point, however his END form really needs a redesign.
>>287763484This chapter just reminds me how I’d just prefer a slice of life FT manga. It could even be monthly. Because the recent social media omake I definitely enjoyed more than this fight.
>>287769264I need more Smug Virgo
>>287763599Daddy
Boy, this thread is kinda slow, huh?
>>287770365Some threads tend to be like this.
>>287763484>>287763615Of course he's hot.
>>287763654Called it, papa has to discipline his dumbass son.
>>287763940I knew Lucy wouldn't fight him for real because she'd have to end up relying on Mercphobia's key, and surely that's being saved for Ignia's fight or at least something more substantial than this.
>>287763940>Igneelhttps://youtu.be/cF44OPOEfYY?si=58Qbe72SlsLBRQ9Z
>>287771766Let's just hope it amounts to more than Igneel's role in this battle besides getting Natsu back on his feet.
>>287763529KEK Lucy...
>>287764213Metalicana's would be funny. Is he a regular-ish looking dude or just some fully metal guy.
>>287772274Giving his dragon form, probably a mix of both.
>>287764656So, would he have met Selene at some point?
>>287772274And these two?
Predict where we're heading next chappy. I think I speak for everyone when I say we want Laxus.
>>287772487An update on her and Sorano
>>287763940KWAB. Earth is such a jobber element it's unreal.
>>287772555And water?
The fuck even was the point of this chapter? Just let it end. You can make a third series after. Let the dragons be done.
>>287772606With the current rate of volume releases, I'd give it twelve-to-fourteen chapters minimum. That's about half a year from now, unless Mashima and Ueda opt to bump it up to weekly.
>>287772851>unless Mashima and Ueda opt to bump it up to weekly.Would be for the best.
>>287772487Probably still fighting R. Kelly
>>287773064Granted, I don't actually know who's in charge of schedule changes. But it would be nice. They once managed it for 10 weeks during the release of Mashima Hero's.
>>287773228>They once managed it for 10 weeks during the release of Mashima Hero's.Was HERO's monthly or biweekly?
I wonder if they would get Nakajima and Griffin's VA for their little cameo.
>>287773293Neither, it was weekly.
>>287773358They did for the FT/Rave crossover OVA back in 2013. Unless you're talking about the dub, in which case Nakajima's VA fell off the radar and Griff's VA may be beyond CR's budget.
>>287773595Good thing it was short, although I would have liked it seeing more of it.
>>287773649>FT/Rave crossover OVA 2013 was 13 years ago...Still, I wonder who they would cast for this guy from DR
Care to explain, NaLu bros?
>>287773726Natsu fucks every member of Fairy Tail, so he's good.
>>287773096>Life Jail>BlackStill gets a good chuckle out of me
>>287773709It'd be awkward to have him be the only voiced DR character and not have an anime adaptation for his manga. Don't know if it will ever get one, though, let alone be successful.
>>287774008>It'd be awkward to have him be the only voiced DR character and not have an anime adaptation for his manga.That's my main gripe with it, but I think DR could work as a miniseries.
>>287774027How many monthly manga get adaptations these days? And what's the average chapter-to-episode conversion for them? Because Dead Rock is currently 34 chapters and counting, most being around 30 to 40 pages.
>>287764177>Is it this long?!YesLucy is gonna have trouble
>>287763484From the other thread
>>287774234Congrats.But you forgot Igneel is gonna have an emotional moment before he goes off completely though.He's gonna tell Lucy to take care of Natsu, everyone will cry and he's done.
>>287774095I wish I knew.
>>287774095What's the average chapter-to-episode conversion for weekly manga?
>>287774234I think we all kinda expected it was going to be Igneel. What we didn't predict was him fucking showing up in human form. I think that's kinda the thing Mashima still has. We all know what's going to happen, we knew Juvia was going to survive, we knew Igneel was the one talking to Natsu, but how exactly was not what we imagined.
>>287763599Uhhhhhh, Igneel's a CHAD?
>>287774308We might get an idea soon. There's a manga from the same magazine called Thunder 3 that's getting an anime in a few months. It came out four years ago, though it had an 11-month hiatus and is about the same length as Dead Rock.
>>287763654He and silver are daddy’s(not in a gay way)
>>287764715>>287774234And Chappybro wonders why nobody takes FT seriously.
>>287774008But it will be also funny if he's voiced for example by Daisuke Namikawa or another VA from FT.
>>287774234>Generalfags thread died instantlyKWAB! Welcome back, shitters. Samefagging JOBBED.
>>287774008But in the rare case it gets an anime, who should voice the main cast?
>>287774379Always was, we just never saw him at his prime. Even this chapter he's complaining about being a washed up geezer.
>>287763984Just his one wife.
>>287774524Cause I don’t want to repeat the same VA from his previous series.
>>287763615Time to admit dragons make cooler humans and humans make cooler dragons.
>>287774467EZ has a lot of those, even for ones who don't play Mashima character clones. Just to name a few at the top of my head:>Shiki is Jackal>Weisz is Ajeel>Pino is Mary Hughes (and Ruby from Rave Master in that crossover)>Sister is Millianna and one of the Gemini twins>Valkyrie is Virgo, Ultear & Ur>Mother is Minerva>Shura is Rogue
>>287774483We TRIED to be respectful and let you have this thread to yourself. YOU'RE WELCOME.
>>287774587>Shiki is JackalI also found it funny how Jackal's VA married Wendy's, and Mashima drew this doodle.
>>287763484>Igneel mode is going to be a permanent powerupArigatou, Mashima.
>>287774655KEK first I've heard of that. Kind of sweet.
>>287774572Except for Rie Kugimiya as Happy in FT and EZ, none of the main actors in one Mashima anime get reused as main actors in another. When there's overlap, it's usually a supporting actor getting a main role (and vice versa) or another supporting role.>>287774587I forgot:>Xenolith is Gildarts
>>287774655Almost seemed like a missed opportunity that Wendy's VA wasn't cast as Labilia, since Labilia flirted with Shiki for a little bit.
>>287774483GOOD! The shitters are always more fun than sitting through Mishima's dogshit.
>>287774587Some Anon also said that it would be fitting for motherglare, whose human form is inspired by EZ's mother to be voiced by Kikuko Inoue.
>>287774726I wouldn't rule it out myself. She may already voice Minerva, but FT already has a number of big names with multiple voice roles, like Mariya Ise (Levy & Romeo), Miyuki Sawashiro (mentioned above), and Kenjiro Tsuda (Bacchus & Silver).
>>287774763Didn't Sawashiro voiced Valkyrie too?
>>287774524The only ones I have pegged are Hiro Shimono as Yakuto and Rikiya Koyama as God.If the casting director wanted to be cheeky, they could get Kosuke Toriumi (Acnologia's VA) as Yakuto's dad.I have a general idea of how every other character ought to sound except for Hani. I just don't have any names.
>>287774800Yes, mentioned above. But Valkyrie is from another series, and my point is about voice actors with multiple roles in the same series, no matter how prolific the actors are.In this case, Kikuko Inoue already plays Minerva in FT, but there's nothing to say she can't be cast as Motherglare if 100YQ gets this far.
>>287774897I agree, and there's still tons of characters from the series voiced by actors with already multiple characters too.
>>287774963*who could be voiced
>>287774840>Yakuto's dad.Why not Yakuto himself? That would be a missing opportunity.
>current chapter implies Wendy can turn into a younger, hotter Porlyusica.
>>287774184She can handle it.
>>287775032His voice sounds a little too deep for Yakuto in my mind's ear.
>>287774721>MishimaYou can NOT make this shit up.
>>287775131>ErzaEquips armors.>LucyEquips spirits.>WendyEquips other women.Mashima should just do a magical girl series.
>>287774840For Frey, I have Tomoyo Kurosawa.
>>287763499>>287763529My schizo hero!
>>287775218>magical girl series.Not a bad idea desu.
>>287763940>Also imagine wanting Lucy or Wendy to ever do anything cool eh?Lucy did more than natsu lol
>>287775249Every good magical girl team needs a name.
>>287775131So this Porlyusica?
>>287775281What name, the Fairies?
>>287775325Who can even be on the team?>Erza (leader)>Lucy (hot one)>Mira (scary one)>Wendy (mascot)Need a genuine transformation/s to apply.
>>287775131>Human Grandeneey is more busty than Wendy
>>287775374We need the hime (you know, the rich snobby one), the tomboy and the hacker type (you know the one).
>>287775384Actually it would be even funnier if she's just as flat as Wendy, that way she can't even larp as a mature big tiddy lady
>>287775374That would depend on the type of girls that fit with the whole magical girl feel.
>>287775374Besides the one you posted>Sherria>Carla>Evergreen>Bisca>Yukino
>>287775418A fate worse than death.
>>287775406Nta but>hime (you know, the rich snobby one)That could be Kagura.>the tomboy I don't know here.>the hacker type (you know the one).Levy
>>287772482Sting would be an old man and Rogue would be mostly unchanged
>>287763599For a brief moment, I thought that was his adult form
>>287763636Wendy use a separation enchant so we can keep stupid sexy human Igneel.
Sexy Igne- and he's fucking gone damn it
>>287776385>>287776481There's no way he doesn't pop back out again to lecture Ignia later. 'My failedson Ignia, why couldn't you be a good boy like trueson Natsu'.
>>287776932I wonder how Faris Negro would react to Igneel. Would she get scared? Would her arm react? Would she get wet? Surely Igneel being in Natsu and part of Acnologia being in Ignia will come into play, right?
>>287776932>Igneel splits from Natsu>Faris splits for Ignia>Igneel takes Faris>Natsu takes IgniaFather and son taking on some dastardly villains like in the good old days.
>>287777056There was this a little while ago.
>>287763918Version vs Laxus.
>>287778116vs Hades.
>>287778124vs Sting & Rogue.
Two things I want. 1. Acnologia rebirthing himself from his arm Faris ate, don't care how. 2. Acnologia beating the snot out of BITCHnia.
NOOOOOO NATSU! YOU WOKE UP TOO SOON!Now there's no Wendy Ryona...
>>287763918>>287778116>>287778124>>287778132Just realized that Zero is the only one who managed to stop this technique
>>287779128He used it against Gildarts too and it only pushed him back a little.
>>287779204Technically that's tanking it not stopping it
>>287777777 wasn't here. what a shame
>>287777056Acno would take over Faris
>>287779724>Dragon Ball threadFunny.
>>287775619Wendy mogged…
>>287776385Like how she did it with Touka?
>>287763484Mashima is such a dogshit writer man. Just put the fanservice in the bag, at least that is usually great.
>>287763955Speedreader-kun...>>287778116>>287778124>>287778132
>>287775218> Equips other women.Older women?
>>287780115Yeah exactly.
Dead Rock is on the cover of the June issue of Monthly Shonen Magazine. The next chapter is getting a color page (which is probably just the image used for the Vol. 7 cover with a different background).
>>287780284>in the bagsee >>287774483
>>287779724Why so many sevens?
>>287780458>Flavor text: "Onward, to the land of the decisive battle!">Kodansha announced the next chapter will reveal the main villain's backstory>This month's chapter set up a one-year time skip>Chapters before that set up where the final battle will take placeLooks like Mashima's just cutting straight to the final arc this time.
>>287763599Would he be voiced by Hidekatsu Shibata or another VA?
Good morning, my fairies.
>>287780534Judging by these comments (>>287764501), he might get a different, younger-sounding actor.
>>287780577See >>287774483
>>287780524Do we think he'll have this finished before the new mini Fairy Tail series in August?
>>287780524So it would end next year?
>>287763599He could say he's Natsu's biological father and nobody would question it.
>>287780695Maybe around the same time.>>287780696Depending on how fast Mashima goes, it could be over this year, within the next five chapters at minimum.
>>287780806That's who I thought of first when I saw it but his dad had shorter hair in the one panel we saw him.
>>287779119Literally the only reason to keep reading Fairy Tail.
>>287775131What if it’s the opposite?
>>287775131Igneel is only back because Bestia brought his flames back through some gobbledygook science experiment, and Natsu ate those flames.
>>287780524I guess he wants it to end it soon.>God's backstoryI wonder what that will be like.
>>287780958The only time we saw Natsu's parents.
>>287776932I'm still waiting for this guy to appear
>>287775218If Happy got an Isekai spin-off, this should be possible.
>>287781534Since the story's been building up to Elfed being a literally different person from the one everyone knew, it's most likely that he was possessed by or body-swapped with an especially evil demon who's been going on a joyride in his body ever since.
>>287774671They got married 9 years ago
>>287775281>>287775249All the budget went into this.
Forms that should have been permanent
>>287775218Everything is possible.
>>287780695I wonder if he'll also reveal the original anime he's been working on for quite some time.
Why didn't Mashima just continue drawing fairy tail? No one cares about eden zero and dead rock, and 100 years quest is still going strong.
>>287781892>possessed by or body-swapped with an especially evil demonWhat if it's named Ankhseram?
>>287779724
>>287775619Did robo Wendy really pulled off that trick? I never followed eden zero.....
>>287783585Yes, she did.
>>287782811I only care about her.
>>287783585Yeah, and Wendy once again got mogged by another variant of her.
>>287783585Besides been trapped and betrayed before, yep.
>>287783813Sadly adult Wendy always looks somewhat uncanny. Except for Edo Wendy but I would like to say something else.
>>287784310And this Wendy?
>>287784335This one is what I was thinking about even more so.
>>287784393I agree with you, the only way that could work is if she was like Edo Wendy but flat.
God I’m hungry
>>287784576What kind of hunger?
>>287784576
>>287784576¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>287784393I think Reddus' Wendy is fine.
>>287763599>>287763615>>287763636>>287763654>>287763691>>287763671>>287763719>>287763747>>287763940So Natsu has the Hulk one off power up
>>287775257Not really
>>287780352All asss pulls
>>287785090Maybe if we saw more of her than a drawing.
>>287763984>>287774551Natsu is never getting laid, he's a asexual mentally challenged zombie.
>>287768340>>287768519Natsu is like Luffy, he doesn't want sex.
>>287773745No he's impotent/asexu as per idiot Shonen hero rules
>>287781607Isnt Natsu dead though
>>287785431Yeah
>>287784475We should respect little Wendys feelings and never have lewd thoughts about her big counterpart. You will spare her feelings right anons?
>>287785538Well of course, I really don't like seeing her cry.
>>287784679Kek
>>287764048Lol, lmao
>>287785538Don't worry, most Wendyfags have lewd thoughts for earthland Wendy.
>>287785299>>287785343This. Chappy needs to stop conflating Natsu with his LARPer and his Opposite Earth self.
>>287775131>Wendy being mogged by a pink-haired girlIt happens all the time. Even her Super Saiyan is just her transforming into a pink haired girl.
>>287785538>never have lewd thoughts about her big counterpart.Why not?
>>287786007I'm so sleepy today I take neither...
>>287786118Aside from mogging her yet again it was a bait question but I'm tired now so I just let little Wendy win for once.
>>287780661>>287780485>WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH STOP HURTING MY FEEFEES WITH YOUR OPINIONS!!!
>>287786112She should just dye her hair pink.
Wendy is so hot
>>287786112>Even her Super Saiyan is just her transforming into a pink haired girl.And yet this happens...
>>287786170
>>287764048>
>>287786273She's not.
>>287786306Nebal was a man of culture
>>287786540Are you sure?

>>287786540Reminder these two weight almost the same despite Sherria being a lot bigger.
>>287786576Not really, she was just food to him and didn't enjoy her like anons would.
>>287786658Yes.
>>287786692That just means Sherria is fat and Wendy ripped, muscle is heavier than fat.
As usual, Chappy has no issue with lolicons clogging up these thread(s).
>>287786748If you go too far you will provoke corruption posts.
>>287786771>muscle is heavier than fat.Ok Reggie.
>>287786692And they’re both lightweights
But why?
>>287786847Wendy posting never takes more than 1/3 of a thread, this is a consistent rule so please stop complain about that specifically. I don't know what the issue is for weeks now but it surely has nothing to do with little Wendy.
Yeah we need to step it up and post more Wendy to improve these threads. Mavis too
>>287786860I prefer to avoid that, and also, I still can't wrap my head that Wendy got her own spin-off.
>>287787021>Wendy posting never takes more than 1/3 of a threadNeither does shipposting, but next to horny posting, that seems to send Chappy over the edge.
>>287787120What's there to discuss? The chapter was ass. Mashima brought back Igneel out of nowhere with no explanation so Natsu would get motivated and oneshot the bad guy for the 1000th time. There's nothing even remotely interesting about this and this wasn't a good chapter unless you want to fuck Igneel like the redditors do (same people who complain about Mashima sexualizing his girls btw).
>>287787074Mavis is cuter than her btw.
>>287786692>two weight almost the sameHow would you know that?
>>287787264>What's there to discuss? The chapter was assWell, apparently Chappybro seems to treat FT as serious business, believes there is more worth discussing than just whatever tickles our peepees, and gets rather irate when someone shares a differing opinion like >>287780577 or >>287780284, even conflating them into his singular boogyman.
>>287786771>FatI always had the assumption that Sherria was ripped.
>>287786860Some people need to control themselves.
I started reading Rave Master and it's getting pretty fucking awesome. Any chance for a reprint you think?Is Fairy Tail better or worse than Rave Master and is Dead Rock good? I hear kinda bad things about Eden's Zero.
>>287787120This is pretty tame compared to the time Wendyfags took 2/3 of threads with Wendy images.
>>287787611Better hope Chappyfag never finds your comment. Rave Master's another one of his peeves. Of course, the rest of us here are glad you like it.
>>287787535That looks fit. More than Wendy probably.
>>287787611Where exactly are you in Rave?
>>287787719She had 15 at the time, and she trained for the GMG.
>>287787740I've read 97 chapters, so King's son Lucia showed up and BTFO'd the gang and now they're on again to find the last two Raves.
>>287787848You mean reading books.
>>287787953Right, I forgot about that.
>>287787611>I hear kinda bad things about Eden's Zero.Only for the second half of the story and maybe some parts here and there at the beginning, the most funny being pic related, aka the greatest filter.
>>287787906So you've already passed the point where the anime left off.
>>287787719Should Wendy look like this or is it too much?
>>287787611>Any chance for a reprint you think?I don't think so, and neither having the anime being completed. At best, some merch, accompanied by this...
I can't be the only one to notice the parallels with King Arthur >humble boy receives mystic sword and training from old guy >learns his dad had beef with a dreaded warlord terrorizing the land >builds a team of loyal knights in search of holy objects >finds love, but things get... complicated >>287788310And that's as far as I'll go to avoid spoilers.
>>287787953Well, reading is the kryptonite of these two.
>>287788847Arthur deserved better than Guenievre.
>>287788019KEKdy the illiterate
>>287788990Levy should give her some lessons.
>>287788990Why did Grandeeney never teach her to read?
>>287787953Is Wendy weak to them like Mira?
>>287775406>TomboyLevy could fill that niche.
>>287787507>Taller than MavisAt least is something, rigth?
>>287788090I still remember that.
Would you use these glasses? They seem very convenient and useful.
>>287787611The last time Rave got something was in the OVA which was a crossover with FT
>wake up>remember we got dilf Igneel for half a chapter>go back to sleep angry at Mashima
>>287787611>I hear kinda bad things about Eden's Zero.What things?
>>287790768
>>287787264>unless you want to fuck Igneel like the redditors doYou need to go back. >>287787611For me Fairy Tail and Rave are his clear #1 and #2. I remember reading an interview on here about him wanting to do another series in a similar ilk to those two (swords and magic) but since Fairy Tail's original run ended he's done a space series and an edgy demon series.
>>287790322>>287790802Between these three cases, is it really wrong to be skeptical of Mashima's ability to write romance?
>>287763599>>287763615Do you think dragons choose their human forms or are they preset? They all seem to be rolling 10s so I'm kinda sceptical...
>>287790802This is just your average woman moment
>>287790236And she didn't show up all that often, either.
>>287791040Just RNG bro.
>>287787611I'd say Edens Zero's quality is somewhere between Rave Master and Fairy Tail, since Mashima actually put some thought into where its story would go (Rave Master's story was almost entirely planned out from the start, while Fairy Tail's story was Mashima winging it all the way through). But as with many of Mashima's stories, the final arc is where the biggest problems arise, but even that arc has some good twists that make the whole thing worth reading.Dead Rock is mediocre. It was better when it was planned to be very short, and it looks like Mashima will just be cutting straight to the final battle now. I'd wait until it's finished, which could be this year or next.
>>2877876111. Fairy Tail2. Rave Master3. Edens ZeroI'm having fun with Dead Rock but it is too short and monthly so I find it hard to rank alongside the others. Are there any Monster Hunter Orage CHADS here?
>>287791138Yeah, I really thought she was going to be the Erza of EZ
>>287790802The chapter thread for that was one of the best I've ever been in.
>>287780284When he gets serious you bitches CRY and MOAN to him to stop.
>>287791040Obviously they choose it, no one in their right mind would choose to be ugly unless it's for specific reasons.
>>287791925That was the chapter when Shiki "died", right?
>>287791040isn't that common fantasy rules? that magical creatures when taking human form are stupidly attractive for human standards?at least my headcanon of the fairy tail world is that the more magic someone has, the better they look. it's the only way i can explain why basically everyone in magic guilds is basically a model, also why someone like jellal ranks among the hottest guys in fiore, why someone like natsu despite being a brute is also seen as good looking, or why laxus has random women spreading themselves at the mere sight of him. it seems logical that the more ethereal energy you have overflowing you the better you look, no?
>>287792001>someone like jellal ranks among the hottest guys in fioreOnly surpassed by Hibiki.
>>287791925Ironic that EZ had BY FAR the most placid and 'they all lived happily ever after' ending with essentially everyone who died coming back to life, even those who were dead BEFORE the series started. It'd be like if the ending of Fairy Tail brought back everyone who died in the story + Lucy's mom and dad are now back, Gray's parents and Ur are back, Irene is alive and made up with her husband, Mavis and Zeref came back and joined the guild, all the slayers dragons are alive and well etc.
>>287792001>or why laxus has random women spreading themselves at the mere sight of himI can't blame them.
>>287792001What's even the reason for a magical creature to take the form of a human in the first place? For deception, reproduction?
>Rave he had to cut chapters>FT was juuuuust right>EZ he had to add chaptersHaving to adjust the finale to fit the page limit of a volume sounds like a massive pain the ass.
>>287792001How stupidly attractive would you make yourself if you had the power?
>>287791138Neither she and I hated that.
>>287763940>rock-soul dragon>is defeated before using any soul magicWhat did Mashima mean by this?
>>287781714He's so gonna die in the Ignia fight. Dragons can't heal from wounds caused by other dragons.
>>287791501I haven't read it yet, the only thing I know is that apart from having an MC named Shiki, it also had proto Sherria.
>>287792536I don't think his powers were actually soul-related. It's probably that his dragon form looked like a bunch of rocks that came to life.
>>287780524>>287780696Didn't Mashima say in a twatter space last year that he wanted to start a new manga in 2026? He'll have to wrap up DR in like half a year for that to be plausible.
>>287792001So you're saying that the ones who don't have magic overflowing are uglier?
>>287792085And you know the craziest thing? I like that more than any of the fakeout deaths of Fairy Tail combined.
>>287792221Will he cut chapters for the next series?
>>287792818Knowing him, he might just start it before Dead Rock ends. Edens Zero ended just under one year after he started Dead Rock.But at the pace he's been going with Dead Rock, he might actually be ending it soon. Not in the next chapter, but maybe 4 to 10 chapters after that.
>>287792523Girls with glasses are always the cutest.
>>287792818>>start a new mangaWill the setting be fantasy again like Rave/FT or something different like Isekai?
>>287792221If I'm not mistaken, he filled up those three chapters by revealing the final boss's origin and true identity, which was something he was planning to keep a mystery that readers could still figure out.I like it all the better for that, because it also led to the final boss getting a second wind and a better sendoff.
>>287793020Fantasy, probably. But if we're being honest, Edens Zero was secretly an isekai all along.
>>287793080Shouldn't Isekai count as fantasy as well?
>>287792523Can you believe her last appearance was a whole 120 chapters before the manga ended, just for two panels on a single page? And she wasn't even the central focus of one of those panels?
>>287793302Yes but at the same time I can't.
>>287790636I enjoyed that one
>>287791501>>287792649How about Monster Soul? That's the one with Aki, and since it debuted while FT was still in the development stages, it wound up influencing a bit of what you see in FT. For instance, the pink mummy lady was a prototype of Erza, which Mashima confirmed in the extras.It's also Mashima's shortest manga, only seven chapters. Not because it was canned: it was just three chapters to start, since it ran in a monthly magazine for younger kids, where chapter counts tend to be kept short. From what I understand, it actually did well enough for that magazine that it got a four-chapter revival a couple of years later.
>>287793495Same
>>287793724>Mashima's shortest mangaShortest not counting one-shots, I mean
>>287793724I enjoyed that too.
>>287793730see >>287787789
God, that Fairy is hideous
>>287793724>only seven chaptersI wonder how short DR was supposed to be compared to this and MHO.
>>287794148Mashima revealed that in a Twitter space. His initial plan was 6 chapters, but his editor convinced him to bump it up to about 15 chapters. Now it's about to reach 35 chapters and counting.
>>287787789>FORGOTTEN vs JubibiEver notice how amongst all his series its the FT characters that are used as points of comparison by seethers?
>>287794211>6 chapters>15 chapters>now 35 chapters and counting.Next thing you know, it will have 50 chapters.
>>287794211>His initial plan was 6 chapters>Now it's about to reach 35 chapters and countingKEK I love him so much.
>>287794211>Killing God in just 6 chaptersSounds reasonable
>What's the next news?>What's the next news?>What's the next news?>What's the next news?Ahhhhhh nothing's been added yet
The next MCs
Now that Igneel's human form has been revealed, I feel like I should save some fanarts before they get buried.
>>287786878Why they let a kid drink alcohol?
>>287795004What order are we expecting our heroines to get pregnant? This is important when deciding the pecking order of our next MCs. Gajeel and Levy's kid/s are going to be the oldest cause Levy's already pregnant, but are we expecting an age discrepancy between Natsu/Lucy, Gray/Juvia, Jellal/Erza's kid, or are they all getting it on in the same year? Edolas seems to imply Lucy and Juvia are getting knocked up by Natsu and Gray respectively at a similar time.
>>287795060>or are they all getting it on in the same year?Probably this, they are going to be younger than Gajeel and Levy's kid/s by one year or two at most.
>>287794211>but his editor convinced himI would not have listened If I was him.
>>287795060>getting it on in the same year?It would be too convenient, but also very funny, if everyone decided to have children in the same year, the same week, the same day, localized entirely within Magnolia.
What if Wendy was more playful?
>>287795255The FT guild only seem to take in new members sparingly these days (Laxus scared away the latest batch at the start of 100YQ), so it's important they make some of their own. Elfman & Evergreen are a couple often forgotten about, but they'll do their part too no doubt.
>>287795477>but they'll do their part too no doubt.But will it be a boy or a girl? That's very important.
>>287795040That honestly sounds like a fun idea for a mini-story. Hear me out.>It begins as a courtroom drama.>We realize that it's about Wendy and how they want to take her away from Fairy Tail.>Sounds absurd at first, but then we see how the other side sees things.>Wendy was basically abducted by what's essentially a group of mercenaries.>She doesn't have a legal tutor, on account of one being a dead dragon and the other left this world.>The guild doesn't provide her with anything, Wendy has to take jobs to pay rent.>Apparently, she's not even given basic education, meaning she's for all intents and purposes forced to be a child soldier.>There's even reports she's been given alcohol.>Every guild member who's there to testify just makes things worse (Cana admitting she's given liquor to Wendy, Erza proving the guild is very uneducated, Natsu telling stories that make him look reckless and endangering, like telling how he went to Lamia Scale and tried to take her by force).I don't know I'm just winging this shit out. I just found funny the idea of "what if someone called child services on FT and they had to get Wendy back?"
>>287795255>>287795477Speaking of which, it would be hilarious if Mashima went the Rex (Xenoblade) route with Laxus. Just randomly we see Cana, Mira and Kiria's children and they all are very clearly Laxus' kids all having the same birthday.
>>287795532Makarov is NOT going to deal with this bullshit.
Oh...
>>287795601>Makarov sends Team Natsu somewhere else so they don't fuck things up>They clear the mission immediately anyway and return just in time>Makarov is being accused to ogling the girls in the guild (several waitresses - seriously, the guild had them at one point - say he harassed them). Now Makarov is also at risk of going to jail.>Reedus has several drawings of Wendy. Nothing lewd but you know... Why does he draw the little girl?>Makarov gives a heartfelt confession about how despite his comments he would never do anything to his children and they're not a bunch of perverts.>Team Natsu enters.>Gray is already naked.
>>287795532>child servicesThey will be as useless as the government, and even if they take Wendy away, the gang will try to bring her back.
>>287795517Obviously a MAN.
>>287795672>a heartfelt confession about how despite his comments he would never do anything to his children and they're not a bunch of perverts.I immediately thought of this, he's so obvious.
>>287795560And none of them are going to suspect a thing?
>>287795853They'd know, and the joke is that no one cares. Solve shippingwars by having Laxus just straight up knock all three.On XC2, Rex says something like "I love you" to one of the girls and then "and all of you guys". At the time it seemed like your average MC pussying out, but then in XC3 we see pic related and how he had a child with the three main girls.
>>287795532>meaning she's for all intents and purposes forced to be a child soldier.So was Erza, but I guess child services wasn't available back then
>>287795905Yeah, that could tie up in the end.>Problem is solved, but on the condition that Wendy has to at least get some basic education.>We see Erza also leaving with her (she's wearing one of those yellow helmets that elementary school kids have to wear because autism).
>>287795887>Solve shippingwars by having Laxus just straight up knock all three.Wouldn't complain about it and it looks like something he would do.
I just want a Fairy Tail spin off where the couples are confirmed already and we follow their everyday lives. Just comedic and wholesome.
>>287795964>she's wearing one of those yellow helmets that elementary school kids have to wear because autismIt hurts because that's definitely something Erza would do, and she would even guide her to go in a straight line.
will this get anime yet?
>>287796359100YQ already has one season. Unless you mean S2, we're waiting, maybe there'll be something announced later this year as part of the 20 year anniversary.
>>287796417yes thati remember it started and just went poof
>>287795964Can't forget about her wearing an uniform and the small flag.
>>287795964>basic education.Lucy is best suited for that than the rest.
>>287796451Of course. Erza wearing a child-sized uniform is a given. I don't think we have to question whether she'd be dumb enough to do that.
>>287796555>child-sized uniformWouldn’t that be too tight for her?
>>287795517A girl
>>287763484SEASON 2 NEVER
>>287796613Wouldn't be the first time she wears ill-fitted clothes. Besides, they don't make those for adults, so unless she bullies Heart Kreuz again for a custom uniform, she's awakening an entire classroom
>>287796890>Elfman has a daughter.>She has the potential to be brown-skinned, white haired, tomboyish and fit.And just like that she ticked all the boxes and won.
>>287795646>Holes in all of them.
Wendy's future children?
>>287778116>>287778124>>287778132>>287763918Ueda's version holds up pretty well looking at them all together.
>>287793020He said during EZ's run that his next work would be a "royal fantasy" so presumably just a traditional fantasy story about kingdoms and princesses. With how oversaturated the isekai scene is it's probably better to stay away from that.
>>287787611>Any chance for a reprint you think?You can rave about it, you can rage about, you can jump of joy or complain about it. It makes no difference.
>>287763599Lucy would fuck this Natsu.
>>287763654>>287763599NATSU HAD A MAN INSIDE HIM
>>287763844>>287763810Anons, I can hear Dragon Force music from somewhere...
>>287799616Stingbros...
>>287796972So basically this.
>>287798342They’re all going to be jobbers
>>287796947>she's awakening an entire classroomCould be the same children from Christmas.
Natsu forma de Igneel flame is the 7th dragon god.
>>287796947And that’s a good thing
>>287763654>>287763671>>287763810>>287763844>>287763894>>287763918I hear it as well anons.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu1inIjvAsAAs much as Beyond the Quest is great, I need more Dragon Force.
>>287799136Hope Hisui makes a little cameo if that’s the setting.
>>287795646He’s there for a long night
>>287800743https://x.com/nassy_takanashi/status/2045497872834277599
>>287799606and every other guy
>>287800904It's great that he genuinely seems to enjoy FT, doing the music for it isn't just a job.
>>287787611>ReprintI wish that was the case
>>287798342She will be a single mother.
>>287799136>royal fantasyThat sounds great, I wonder in what aspect he would lean.
>>287795646She’s gonna need more than just ten condoms.
Here's the quote.
>>287795532> Wendy has to take jobs to pay rent.Poor Wendy couldn’t even pay her rent when she came back from Tenrou that Laki had to help her

>>287795411That's a brunette, actually.
>>287799616And it was his adoptive father
>>287801346Fairy Academy 2 when?
>>287801267That reminds me how Fairy Tail isn't like medieval Europe, but 18th century Europe in the middle of the Industrial Revolution, just with magic instead of steam or electricity (and then it jumped forward with smartphones and social media and stuff near the end).
>>287799616Old news >https://files.catbox.moe/c7pfrp.jpg
>>287801346Kek the pinky on Erza's right hand.
>>287799616>>287801379>>287801421Are we really just gonna gloss over his first?
>>287801413Modern technology developed a little too fast in FT.
>>287801460Igneel was already inside him then. Igneel won the Natsubowl.
>>287801467Damn it Warren...
When you think about it, Wendy's job is literally to job
>>287801499Flying cars when?
>>287799616>>287801379>>287801483Nalubros . . . Nawenbros . . . Nastingbros . . . We need to pack it up.
>>287801527Who'd invent that? Warren is the communications guy so phones are up his alley. Maybe Ichiya and Blue Pegasus? They have their flying ship tech, just need to commercialise it.
>>287801379Would that be considered incest?
>>287801460Meanwhile, in the same episode . . .
>>287801556> Blue PegasusSounds good for me, I think Ichiya even has a convertible in City Hero IIRC, so that could be their first option.
Do you think 100YQ will still be running when Mashima does the other FT short story? It'd have to be set in the year between the Alvarez war and 100YQ's start I imagine.
>>287801625City Hero 2 when?
>>287795060Natsu and Lucy's daughter will be the same age as Gray and Juvia's son. Erza and Jellal's son will be like a year older than them and think he's top shit. Gajeel and Levy's twins will include a nerdy girl and rebel son.
Guess what starts tomorrow? (1/5)
>>287801849Hopefully sooner, because I also want that.
>>287802269(2/5)
>>287802337(3/5)
>>287802363(4/5)
>>287802381(5/5)
>>287801918> think he's top shitThat would be earthland Nasha if she was a year older than the rest, he doesn’t seem to be cocky, if anything, he seems like a mama’s boy to me.
