Fairy Tail Chapter 425 Discussion

Great chapter. I think it's safe to assume Sting is still the Master of the guild, since he's not taking jobs with Rogue, apparently. Natsu seems more mature I like that.

Now really all that's left is to decide which is the explanation for whatever is possessing Gray. Is it the Shadow we saw in the GMG? Is it an after effect from overusing Demon Slayer magic too much? Is it an after effect from absorbing Marde's ultimate technique? Is it the fact that he as a human came into direct contact with the book of END and received a delayed possession of sorts that grew over time?



That last possibility is interesting, it could be that END (or more likely Zeref) is manipulating Gray in order to affect Natsu in some way. It also goes well with the whole deal of: "I will give you more despair.".



That is certainly an option as likely as all the others. I am glad however that the infiltration angle was put to rest for good. The denial was getting grating.

Really happy that it did turn out to be Gray that Future Rogue warned Natsu about. It wouldn't have had any impact if it turned out to be someone not close to Natsu because of the look on Natsu's face when it was revealed. Now I'm hoping this doesn't lead to a whole "The future is unavoidable" situation where Rogue and Fro leave anyway and Fro still dies.



I doubt it will. If anything the purpose of this arc is to completely indebt Gray to Natsu so he doesn't fight to kill END but to bring back Natsu like he did for Gray when he was gone dark side in this mini arc.



Guys, what if Gray dint kill Frosch at all? I mean, if Rogue misunderstood what happened?



Maybe some other member attacked Frosch, but last person Rogue saw besides Frosch was Gray.... He probably thought it would be Gray.



If this happens then it most likely Gray is a spy.



But if Gray is evil then we might another development to Gray and Natsu.



We might see Natsu vs Evil Gray and Gray vs Evil natsu



You really are that desperate to avoid Gray being possessed. WHY? Seriously there's no proof of him being a spy. None whatsoever but there's plenty of proof of him being possessed by something. =_=



I just saied what it might happen lelz. If Gray is evil its ok.



Just think this as a possiblity.



A very very slim possibility. Also a potential detail is hidden in the cover coloring. Look at Gray's eyes. They are RED



Hum, Even if Gray is in the Evil side all the black marks covering his body and the red eyes MAY BE the Demon Force. Who knows xD



This would give such a OP power up to Gray.



Either way, This will be epic to watch indeed.



Gray looks like Sasuke xD. The hair, The eyes almost like sharigan xD, The face.... damn.



Natsu even said " I defenetly bring back Gray"... Like Naruto " I promise you that i will being back Sasuke"

Well what a chapter, first of all we got a nice color cover page of the Avatar guild, I love the red haired girl, she is just adorable, she is the Sayla of the group for me, meaning in the end I hope she doesn't die.



So Wendy doing what she can to help Juvia, I don't know if there is anything she can do, only Gray can heal her, like the prince in Sleepy Beauty.



The original Team Natsu on the way to Sabertooth, we have a NatLu moment, looks like something you would see in a romantic novel, if they don't get together at the end or at least have romantic feelings for each other, Hiro would be the greatest troll.



We arrive at Sabertooth, we see Yukino who is looking great, I love how happy she looks, we also see Orga and Rufus are kidding around, nice to see them, but no Dobengal, I feel ripped off. LOL. The face Yukino made when Lucy said Fairy Tail is coming back, was just so adorable, everyone wants Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, Sabertooth, they all want to see them back even though as Orga mentioned it is better for business if there is one less guild. Just shows what an influence has had on people.



And than comes the big shocker, Sting what happened to you? He went from being the Natsu of the guild to the Droy of the guild, ha ha ha. Though Yukino with Libra's help was able to fix him up, I wonder if she could do that with Droy.



Lector does ask where Charles which is a good follow up on his crush on her establish in "Welcome Home Frosch", it is nice even the side chapters get some continuity. And Happy doesn't even know yet. On the bright side for Happy, looks like Lector is still on the same level as him and didn't get a powerup like Charles and be on Pantherlilly's level.



So Natsu where Rogue is, and find out him, Frosch and Minerva went on a mission. BTW, I wonder if Hiro is planning on putting Rogue and Minvera together as a couple, or is that just a coincidence, I imagine in the reality of Frosch dying on this mission, her trying to comfort him in this tragic situation, either way shippers are going to ship.



He catches up to them, turns out Lucy and Happy are following him, dam Lucy is the new Juvia, just kidding. Anyway Natsu grabs Rogue and talks to him privately.



And than we have Lucy and Minerva talk, and we get some closure from the whole Naval battle, Lucy has completely forgotten about it, though that makes sense so much crap has happened to her since than, and she talks so casual to Minerva right from the start like she didn't almost kill her, but that is Lucy for you, she is very forgiving to most people, except for Natsu and her father, anyway Minerva does apology for her actions, which is great, it helps cleanse her dark past, though if she hasn't already someday needs to settle things with Kagura and Millianna, once she does that as far as I know, complete closure. And I am loving Minerva's new hair due. Right now she is number one in new post time skip looks. Keep Cancer away from her Hiro.



Great to see Frosch in such high spirits, and Frosch shows his Sabertooth guild mark after Happy shows Frosch his Fairy Tail mark completing missing the point, oh Frosch. We also found out like I thought the other guilds didn't take part in the GMG because it is not valid without Fairy Tail, which makes sense they are the champions.



We also find out how Sting got fat, it was a eating contest, and Yukino being knocked out from the contest, was hilarious and adorable. In the end Minerva still won, she might have pulled a few tricks, well she is the Erza of the group, if Fairy Tail had an eating contest you know Erza would win at all cost. Seeing them do stuff like food contest, I love to see more side chapters of Sabertooth just doing day to day goofing around.



Finally Natsu and Rogue talk, Natsu finds out they were going on a mission to fight the Avatar guild, and we find out it was Gray that killed Frosch, and I guess that means Gray right now is stronger than Jackel, ha ha ha, he can kill an Exceed. I can only imagine how Jackel feels, what a loser. Natsu tells Rogue he will do the mission for him, and tells him that he and Frosch to stay in town no matter what. Hopefully he listens, but giving how clueless he is to what is going on, I bet he follows along, if that happens, it is his fault if Frosch for being stupid. I don't know why Natsu just tell him what was going to happen, I guess Natsu in the Doc Brown theory of not knowing about your future.



Natsu takes off to find Gray, next chapter titled Black Heart, not looking good for Gray being a good guy.



I loved this chapter, this is everything I would want in revisit Sabertooth, and this chapter making me fall in love with Sabertooth and see more of their day to day lives. If they are having eating contests, what other things are they doing.

I don't know about Zeref but too early to discuss about END though. We don't even know what type of personality END has. What if he had his own motives and a good backstory? Personally I look forward to the events which lead to END battling Igneel and how kid Natsu ended up with Igneel while END was sealed.



That may be so however Igneel WAS adamant that only Natsu could handle the book. And yet Gray a normal human touched it. So there were warning signs if that's the angle

Things are finally starting to get interesting. I can't wait to see how this story goes. I hope that Avatars are some bigger enemies and not just there as part of Gray's story.  I was praying that Sting was not next victim of "Fat club". And Minerva is conquered, that much is certain. What is left is to see how story unravels between Natsu and Gray.



Btw, did anyone else notice that Natsu didn't have motion sickness? I don't remember Wendy casting Troia.



For the umpteenth time. NATSU DOES NOT GET SICK ON LIVING THINGS. ONLY ON ARTIFICIAL TRANSPORTATION

the Future is changed

i suppose , when the dragons appeared and they didn't kill them all , Gray killed Frosch



but now , something changed

its not %100 gray will gonna kill Frosch



or maybe Frosch gonna be killed by gray  in another way



now because natsu is going to get the job , he will not find gray , maybe he will find another one



the Gray him self will go to sabertooth and destroy the town and kill Frosch there



The dragons never appeared in Future Rogue's timeline. It was just acnologia who took over the world and that was AFTER the GMG.



Gray killing Frosch was still 100% until Natsu stole the job from Rogue in thsi chapter.

No wonder Future Rogue is able to kill his Sting. He got so fat that he should be weaker than usual.

Oh Frosch will be killed by Gray? Please let that happen because no one dies in Fairy Tail, in all honesty, and it'd be fun seeing it happen at least once.
