Fairy Tail Chapter 436 Discussion

Natsu- A demon from the book of Zeref and Zeref's little brother, wow... Explains why he's op.



Now I wonder how this ties with Igneel wanting the book, and Gray when he finds out about Natsu's true identity

Okay this was way better than 435 or the last like 5 chapters of bullshit.



So my theory of all the way back that Zeref WAS cursed plays nicely to this all.

As well as what I theorized all the way back in Eclipse arc on how "Gods" are essentially Titans and "Dragons" are Gods that expelled titans, if we compare to Greek Mythology.



Zeref most likely played a role in dragons ascendancy and limitation of gods powers only to see the same dynamics be established between Dragons and Humans. Then the Dragon Slayers were created and civil war broke out.



I guess afterward Zeref simply stopped caring and withdrew from the world, having seen the same cycle again and again.



Either way, this nicely ties together parts of backstory and sets up gods as threatening force within the setting...if only Nasu would not have oneshotted one literally two chapters ago...



Ikusatsunagi was NOT a real god. IT was just a summon just like the Celestial Spirit King. Look at how Zeref got the curse. The so god didn't even need to show himself to use his power.

Zeref = FMA



That was exactly the first thing i thought of. Well, i guess every manga has his own way of punishing the ones that try to bring back the dead

(remember gajeel is over 100 as well)





No, he's not. He had metalicana inside of him which is why he couldn't pass that barrier way back when. Natsu just had two things working against him.

Also, we seem to have forgetten one of the most important points: future Rogue came from a world ruled by Acnologia, which means that... Zeref lost to him? :O

Hiro already said it will be last arc now...

really??? when did he say that?

that was too much for one chapter oh my god

what a surprise, i wasn't expecting any of that

So young Zeref is basically Tom Riddle before becoming Voldemort? Judging by other posts this chapter raises more questions than it answers.
