Gajeel, you made this chapter with your logic. <3
Lucy, you made this chapter with your guts to bitchslap Gray. He deserved that and even more.
You want him to die that fine. But I hope you dont actually think that will happen. I am pretty sure that even though Lucy is the narrator the character the is the stand in for the author is Gray. He is not the first person we have me will to do somthing that endanger the lives of many people. Juvia and Gajeel were two fo our first and here they are now. Natsu looks up to Laxus and he very willingly and unpossessed risk the lives of many people for dumb reasons. oH and logical chracters are rarely strong characters. Its only happy go lucky idots who get to always back up thier ideals with their fists. If gajeel fights gray he is gonna lose so bad.[/quote]
In the same paragraph I said "It's obviously not going to happen."[/quote]
Before I get spoiler tagged because I called this shit.
After 10 years of Hiro writing I can call this, Gray is on a undercover mission where he intends to destroy/kill Zeref by himself.
I don´t know when it will be revealed but it´ll happen.
There´s a high probability that it won´t get revealed within the next weeks and we´ll always will get some trolling about how he is actually evil and wants revenge.
Reasons why Gray hasn´t actually changed:
Whenever he called out on his "emptyness" and his wish for revenge he was surounded by some antagonist hearing that.
Zeref himself is responsible for all the shit that happened in his life, all the hardships he went through are caused by Zeref indirectly or directly. Why would he join a guild worshipping him and intend to kill E.N.D aka Natsu who was created to destroy Zeref in the first place. There is no justifyable motive explaining Gray as an actual assistant for Avatar.
Hiro Mashima has proven recently to be heavily inspired by Naruto. No I don´t mean just the Gray Uchiha stuff his romance writing is the same as Kishis teasing several ships for the fans to fangirl over.
And believe me there will be a shitstorm by the end there will be.
I´m calling Juvia and Gray babys by the end everything else I´m uncertain but we´ll have a lot of couples certainly.
His One Piece inspiration should be obvious by now, even Rave Master was complained over because Darkbrings were too similar to Devil fruits initially according to some rumors.
So here´s my rundown on this.
Natsu isn´t an actual demon. There are 0 indications for this to be a true.
Here are some spoilers regarding Rave Master which probably are the inspiration for Fairy tails endgame. Don´t read if you intend to read Rave Master or if you´re afraid to get your fun for Fairy tail spoiled.
Ellie the heroine of the story aka Resha Valentine lived and was born 70 years in the past before the main story takes place.
She had put herself into some sort of magical slumber (similar to cryostasis) therefore she remained the same age
At first we are told through Hiro that she´s an artifical human created to posses the ability of Etherion (strongest power in Rave), which doesn´t matter to her friends they love her anyway, since Ellie is Ellie. This get´s later explained to be a failed assumption by the person who called that out and we get her whole backstory explained.
Showing us that she was just a normal girl gifted with powers.
From what we know Natsu should be at least around 100 years old maybe 500+ years.
Depending on when Zeref "created" him which depends on Igneels attempt to destroy E.N.D. Which also although unlikely could have been actually 18 years ago or however old Natsu is.
Why Natsu is not a demon
Ok back to my explanation why Natsu isn´t a demon.
Natsu requires food, he has nothing evil to him but more the naivete of your typical shounen main hero. He values life,has some naughty thought´s towards women and he feels love for his guild.
Demons stressed out to be incapble of having those feelings, they think of humans just as lowly creatures, their life entirely isn´t anything similar to living being which Natsu is the exact opposite of.
Now here kicks the Naruto inspiration in, remember how Mitsuki called Naruto "the Fox spirit", well it´s a similar case.
Natsu has a power/demon/ability sealed inside of him.
Natsus possible actual backstory
I have 2 theories regarding this:
A: Natsu was an orphan infant that survived the procedure of getting E.N.D sealed inside of him, which we´ll probably see in a flashback only mentioned or alot of dead babys.
(Keep in mind most of the FT cast are orphans by some means, even Lucy became one by now).
B: Hiro took this idea from Dragon Ball and Natsu is something similar to Kami. Basicly everything good within Zeref manifesting himself as the pure being E.N.D.
Which seperated himself from Zeref to destroy that evil entity.
Natsu being the actual Zeref while the Zeref we got shown being just an entity created through the malice and hate of humans and whatnot explaining his immortality.
Either way, the explanation for Zerefs destruction will possibly not be Natsu alone but more of a team effort empowering him and possibly a Unison Raid between him and Gray or maybe even between the whole guild with the power of love (keep in mind in FT love is the foundation of magic).
Purifying/destroying the Zeref who is made out of malice and hate and shit.
The reason Natsu/E.N.D couldn´t destroy Zeref in the past will be that he didn´t had find love untill then therefore the purification was impossible.
Mavis comes in and explains that Zeref always got the power of "E.N.D" all wrong all the time because malice cannot erase malice. Therefore his "good part" only subconciously implanted that magic within a "pure" infant thinking he would grant it with huge demonic powers for Zerefs "purification" when all along the real deal was that he implanted a catalyst spell inside of the child enabling "everyones love" to flow through Zeref destroy the malice and purify him.
If B is true it´s the same deal Natsu is just the conduit to destroy "Malice"not an actual demon.
