Get Ready for Angel Slayer MagicI can see this happening.



I like Zero's character design looks kinda cool. I'm still curious if Flare is going to join ft, I wouldn't mind it.



I think she will. Personally I look forward to Natsu and the gang talking to the Giants

This chapter was awesome and gray gets more spotlight on him <3

maybe this silver dude is related to ur/ultear perhaps.

I can see if people had a problem with there being 'God' Slaying magic, since there's yet to be any mention of gods and all the characters using it appears to have learned it from books.



However, Devil-slaying magic seems obviously more practical, useful, and likely for humans to learn. Namely since there've been countless demons introduced during the series (Mira's takeover, the island of demons, Deloria and Lullaby, other demons from the book of Zeref, Hades creating demon from rubble, etc.)



Dragon Slayer is the only one introduced where they learned from the actual thing they're slaying, but I don't have a problem with there being multiple forms of slayer magic - provided it's something practical that a human would need to use against an actual opponent.





Just like there are multiple types of guilds (treasure hunters, merchants, mercenary, bandits, etc.) outside of the main one (mage), there are multiple forms of slayer magic outside of the one initially introduced.



It expands the FT universe to introduce new magic types, and new guild types. Allows new types of characters and interactions.

Excellent chapter IMO.



Natsu finally getting you hear something about Igneel. So I'm guessing he's dead.

Just WTF is E.N.D.!!?



That Demon Slayer seem to be Gray's father.



Gray's father is dead like the rest of his family after Deliora =_=



You sure do hate it whenever Gray is part of the main story, don't you.



I mean, come on. Silver? Ice Mage? Black Spiky Hair? Pointy Eyes? It's pretty obvious that this guy is Gray's father.



Ur's husband. Both ice mages and Ultear was a powerhouse from birth. Gray did not have ice magic fro mteh start. He learned it from Ur. These are facts. Not superficial wishful thinking.



Spiky hair, pointy eyes? That's pretty fucking common among a lot of the characters in FT if you haven't noticed.



I'd say it's Ur's husband as well, Gray thought of her as a mother and we literally know nothing of Gray's actual family, opposed to Ultear's family, why start now?



Although for now it's all just speculation til we find out later.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the devils slaying bs magic.

Pretty sure that would be Godslaying



Isn't the opposite of Goslaying magic is Satanslaying magic? Rofl.

So whats the opposite to dragon slaying? Tiger slaying rofl

GUYS WAIT!





What if..... Silver is NATSU! WHO WENT BACK TO THE PAST TO FUCK SOME BROAD WHO GAVE BIRTH TO GRAY!!!!!11!!





that'd be some serious shit right there

I do agree with it being a little fast paced, but at the same time I think we all want that because it's painful waiting a week for nothing but one fight scene, or half a fight scene, as some chapters have done.



Personally this is why I like reading the manga as well as watching the anime- The anime tends to expand on things that happen in the manga and pace it a little bit better. Sometimes. They did a good job with Edolas at least.



And to the OP again- No, Gray is not going to become a demon slayer. Gray is too emotionally mature and stable for that and has already resisted temptation too many times to suddenly turn to the 'dark side'- Demon slaying magic is clearly some kind of dark/taboo magic that corrupts its user.

I.. don't really know how to feel about this chapter...



Everything lately, starting from the second part of Daimatou Enbu has felt kinda rushed, as if Mashima just wants to end the series as soon as possible...I guess it's okay to keep a fast pace, but the flaws that have been in FT before that are still here so I'm not quite satisfied. It's more like he's recycling his own ideas just to make it seem interesting, but after the initial 'nice, badass' feelings I get after reading the chapter there's a feel of apathy and 'meh' after it. It makes me not care about what's gonna happen next, or make me have a hard time waiting for next weeks chapter, like before



I sort of understand that. I too felt like that after realising how fast paced this is. But the ammount of info we got in return kinda makes up for it , at least for me.

Fast pace has been FT's characteristic almost forever, along with it's pros and cons I guess.
