Erza as the seventh guild master was the most sensible choice given the situation, but I found it to be too bland and predictable. The entire chapter builds up to Erza being chosen, and I was disappointed when it happened. The only upside is that there is a small chance that she won't have as much screentime, giving other characters a chance to show off their prowess, like Elfman or Cana, who never really had a chance to shine. However, if Erza is at the frontlines, and knowing her that's a realistic possibility, it would  just show that she is unsuited for the role. All we can do is wait for the eight and hopefully final guild master.



Again its just temporary



Ezra is a main character and the guildmaster has to stay put so that not  good fit for her. Its important that the guildmaster is capable of protecting their guild. We know Ezra has that power. She is composed and well mannered so it will easy for her accept the position and be well received by the council. Elfman and cana are not ready for something like this.



This might be were Markov kicks the bucket. This feels like it could be. If Ezra is stuck at guild keeping things situated their, Then Laxus get to be the guest star party member for the arc and get her screentime.



I know this is a bit far down the lane but would their be time for another S class exam? It bugged me awful when Naruto never had a chance to toke the test again fairly. Natsu's team is s class in all but rank

I agree Elfman and Cana would be unsuited for guildmaster. I just meant that I would like to see them, and others, have more opportunities to have badass fights, because it seems like Erza takes all of the good fight. We know that she is capable and strong, so it would be nice to see other characters have some development as well.



I don't really think Makarov will die. I don't think he will be the guildmaster again, because that would kind of be overkill. Plus, Mashima doesn't kill off major characters.



I doubt there would be another S class exam, mainly because it would be too repetitive, which sucks because there are so many characters that are ready for S class.

Love this chapter and so much nostalgia feeling as if we are reading chapter 2 once again.Anyway i knew Erza would be the guild master but it would have be Laxus may be if he has return.Anyway Mest return officially in FT with a mission for them and how the hell Makarov is in danger.

To me this was so obvious I'm not even gonna say "called it"



The scary, strongest woman in FT. I laugh at whoever thought it would be Lucy of all people. I mean sure her heart is in the right place but you need a powerhouse to be FT's master.

What does laxus have anything to do with being the guildmaster? He is just machoman, bully all around. Guild master is not the most powerful. They need to lead the guild and care for all its members.They need to be able to talk to other guilds and government. Erza has the respect of everyone. She led people countless times and put her life on line for the guild. She is the perfect fit.

                        Erza...of course. Wonder why Makarov needs saving. Still loving all those Strauss panels! :D

Elfman's putting up a fight against Natsu eh? I really hope this means Elfman can take on more powerful foes than just minion fodder.



...Not sure how I feel about Erza being guild master.....I would preferred Laxus...but that's probably because I actually like Laxus so I'm probably just biased there.



I fucking love Gajeel, "I'M GOING TO ARREST YOU ALL" (Please don't run this joke into the ground Mashima)



Pretty solid set up for the next arc, they probably have to save Makarov from some sort of mental state considering how he was when he disbanded Fairy Tail.



Or maybe people captured him due to connection to Lumen Histoire

Welcome back Mest/Doranbalt!

Ima just call him mystery man since no one knows who he is including himself

One instance in a series of 400+ chapters does not make a person. If it did, then lets all remember that Laxus nearly killed all of Magnolia before attempting to redeem himself. Or that Natsu ditched the entire guild, leaving behind a useless letter basically going "IMA GO TRAIN! SEE YA FKERS!" But you're going to ignore that because you're adamant on not finding any flaws in Natsu.



At least being an Erza fan, I still find flaws in every character and don't ignore them. Including Erza.



Completely disregarding all a character's done in the past in other arcs and just concentrating on the fact that they didn't check up on someone as evidence that they don't deserve to be guildmaster is sad.



At this moment, no one in the guild is actually good enough to be guild master, including Erza, Laxus and Mira. But at least give proper reasoning instead of being hung up on "SHE DIDNT CHECK UP ON JUVIA! SHE'S THE WORST!". It wasn't Erza's  responsibility to be Juvia's emotional clutch to begin with. Juvia's character was fucked over at the start of the Avatar arc and it was her own fault.
