Natsu cant beat Mard Geer, i mean that guy is a genious... i think Gray wouldnt beat him either... Somehow he will be defeated.



Natsu likely will not defeat Marde. But he will get the book and it will open or it will open during his fight with Marde. And then END takes the stage.



Yeah that what iam thinking to. Rogue and Sting will back off? how will the book be opened? Will Metallicana and Grandinde show up?.... so many questions







Final battle : Gray and Natsu vs END

Fai said:
Well now I am 100% convinced Natsu is END.



And Mard Greer will manipulate Natsu into opening the book to help against Acknologia.



The book could just as easily open during the fighting by accident. Again if opening the book on an opponent was the way to revive END, Marde would have done it. It's all about Natsu being close to the book.

I was thinking, with everyone is possessed about Igneel saying only natsu can retrirve the book.  What if he only said that because Natsu was bitching about stuff and he know it will take his interest.

Freaking deux ex machinas.



chekov's guns*



deus ex machina is something that appears without build up - "gods intervention". (coming from greek plays where gods directly intervene into plotlines)



chekov's gun is something that was set up and hinted to happen and happens at the needed time("if the gun is put into a room, it will go off at crucial time")

Well, in one of the manga sites, it is written that the next chapter will be called fire dragon's steel fist.  Since gajeel is steel now, i think he will join the fight or i don't know.

I bet your life that book will open up. I know for sure that book will open at some point.



That's obvious. and the spirit of END will finally have its host aka Natsu.



oh, that means only Gray with his Ice demon slaying magic would be able to defeat P-Natsu and set him straight... You mad Gray haterz/Natsu loverz? ^^



No that doesn't mean that at all. Marde would have killed Silver if his Magic was a threat to END. Please use your brain next time



I'll save this for a couple chapters after this one



As will I. End will not be beaten with power. Igneel tried that and failed according to Atlas Flame. Or are you telling me Gray is now more powerful than Igneel? Surely you are not that delusional



power levels in Fairy Tail aren't set in stone like that. Also, it's not about power, it's about compatibility and Gray being the counterpart of Natsu, as it has been across the series. Either him or Lucy will at some point (IF, we're talking about this because we're assuming Natsu will get possessed) shout out NAKAMA, GUILD, FAMILY and Natsu will be reborn-anew. Atleast so I see it, unless the author breaks his well known circle.



Also, there is no point of Gray having a massive power-up if he won't butt in on a fire user or atleast attempt it at some point.



Attempting is not the same as succeeding. He won't succeed because like I mentioned a thousand times. THERE IS NO WAY MARDE GEER WOULD ALLOW MAGIC THAT IS A THREAT TO HIS PRECIOUS MASTER END TO EXIST IN THEIR RANKS.



unless he's an arogant bastard who's suffering from the same symptome any would-be villian suffers from in every cartoon/anime/series

Anyway, it's all pure speculation. It may be possible Natsu won't even be possessed. It would nice to see that, we haven't had it yet in the series, as far as I remember



Now that I think of it, this arc has actually had a shittone of character development in it, especially for Gray and Natsu. I think it's only natural to assume they'll clash, one way or another (or atleast I'd like to see it, since it's a fairly logical route)kiDnameDSkia said:

He is arrogant but you can't deny that he has plans and contingencies for anything except the Dragons that suddenly crashed the party yet even in this chapter he made modifications to those plans. Arrogance doesn't always come with stupidity and given that Silver was going around killing demons of Tartaros, there's no way Marde didn't know.



As for the clash between Gray and Natsu, it's very likely. Though again I doubt it will be Gray who actually snaps him out of it.Darklight0303 said:

It's going to be Gray to snap him out of it, along with Nakama power. Very much obvious given Gray's statement to finish off END



Chapter wasn't bad. Hope Mard doesn't get trolled.

Fai said:
Yeah, power or type of  magic won't have anything with END.



"Demon Slayer" is just hype building term.



It will be part power of friendship and part celestial spirit magic(since it has been position as opposite of demon magic so far).



Which means Gray is not doing anything except showing off some moves, delivering speech and getting knocked unconscious.



Not to mention let us look at all the slayer mages so far. HAVE ANY OF THEM MANAGED TO SLAY THEIR DESIGNATED CREATURE? The answer is a resounding no and they have had slayer magic for years. And you're telling me that the guy who has had his new slayer magic for like at most an hour will be able to actually scratch Zeref's strongest demon?



I hope your insurance is large because you guys will have to pay for my gut transplant from how hard I am laughing at your idiocy.



And before you say "OH BUT HE BEAT TEMPESTA IN ONE HIT" That doesn't prove shit. Tempesta had already fought and taken some damage PLUS he got taken out in one hit by Laxus too when he was introduced. Not to mention this time Tempesta was distracted with Gajeel. So again. Doesn't prove anything.



Gray has also taken a lot more damage, dumbass. did you ignore his fight with silver altogether?



Tempesta was not distracted whatsoever. How would he be distracted with Gajeel when Gajeel himself was done and panting on the floor? Tempesta aimed his attacks at Gray and failed.
