Fairy Tail Chapter 440 Discussion

How do you know that they are weaker than laxus? And why should those characters be only about fighting? They may have interesting magics themselves. They may have impact, too. They are going to face very powerful wizards from another continent.

If you introduce too many characters, which Fairy Tail has already enough of the story becomes completely converluded and filled with chapters that feel unnatural and stale.

More characters mean more splitt up exposition meaning even less exposition for the already existing ones and more abilities mean more work.



Several guildmembers of other guilds outside of Fairy Tail haven´t shown any magical feats, yes there are sting and Roge, but there is also the random guys from Quattro Cerberus even Hiro doesn´t give a fuck about. We already have limited screentime on some of the characters that matter, Mest was a good addition to the cast and has reasonable screentime. But he´s a single well thought out character with impact to the story and a unique form of magic in the FT universeYou simply cannot expect and ask from Hiro to do this with 5 more characters, they would end up having 3-5 panels as a whole and turn into backround drawings right after.



There are several characters who don´t had the screentime they are promising, Laki, Lissana, Max, Warren, Bisca, Alzack. I rather have a few panels with character development and screentime for those than introduce 5  random new characters no one gives a shit about.

mashima is the master of retconing information,if push comes to shove.Also,darklight,you misunderstand.



WHEN was it said they wanted Lumen Historie simply to add it to their weapon inventory? It wasn't. We don't know why they need it and what they are planning with it. The emperor could be planning to use it against Zeref and acnologia,for instance.



Also,we don't know how Mavis became Lumen Historie and if Precht was the only one who knew about it or not. It sure is weird Serena's decision. If he knows where it is,all he had to do was raid the guild. He could easily do it. He is the strongest mage of ishgard.



This can be chalked up to the reason why Obito,for instance,wasted all his attempts to kill Naruto and Kakashi. There would be no plot if did the logical,lol.



I am not fond of rants,kingace. Keep it to yourself,if you please. If this was the "Karin's Sarada's daughter,not Sakura" topic,I would understand it. But in here you are making a tempest over a small issue.

I'm sure of the 11 abrales warriors the leader will be a woman to fight Ezra of course, another crappy girl who will bully Lucy like always and Mabry one more for Mira or gray (he fights a lot of girls)

@ Isterio   and i think yuriy's appearance is the same because maybe he used "LAW"  just like mavis in fairy tail zero........ . let's wait and see........it's unreasonable for serena to just join the arbaless kingdom without reasons, aside from having an interest of a loli . .........

Its confirmed

Read page 24 of fairy tail zero chap. 1!



Thanks for the clarification, I had forgotten about that line.

Now that this is clear I hope he just pulls a Gildarts for him and gives him some woman we never see.



What else is always bugging me is how similar Mavis looks to Lucy, but that may be just Hiros favorite female design Idk.

Spriggan,eh? That's the name of a fairy sprite in british lore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spriggan. You never know,it could be meaningful.



I wouldn't be surprised if all the fights against the spriggan twelve involve a mage from fairy tail and two other mages as backup.  There are 10 elite mages in fairy tail,11 if Gildarts finally decides to show up. Would be the perfect opportunity since the opponents are more or less in his level or just a bit weaker than him.



Well,there are many potential guilds from the tournament,but besides crime sorcieire's seven members and sabertooth's five elite,they only have one or two members that can fight such elite opponents. Lamia scale only has Jura and lyon,mermaid's heel only has Kagura. Quatro Cerberus has Baccus the fodder,blue pegasus has Ichiya.



I am gonna bet my finger that natsu is going to pick a fight there against one of these twelve. We need a demonstration,after all. Having Natsu be quiclky overwhelmed,despite all his training,would work nicely.



Oh,that's right. I am willing to bet that Lucy will finally get Yukino's keys here,or in the next arc.. Considering how much Mashima has delayed this,I am pretty sure some shit will happen when they are reunited.



And Serena or this emperor (if he is like awakening's walhart) will be a good way to measure E.N.D's strength. Honestly,Mashima has been delaying this far enough. Just hope that by the following arc E.N.D gets restored,if not on this albareth.

You won't know if you will give a shit about them until they are introduced. Did you hate all characters that were introduced in later arcs? I mean if they are facing a whole continent it should be bigger than a few characters. Remember marineford. Whitebeard pirates had more than 40 captains. Even if all of them were not given equal attention, it made the world and the war bigger. There were no strawhats there, too. Natsu should not be the only thing we care about. It would make this arc better if guild members were not shown at all because they are very small fish in the war.





Also not all characters need to have offensive bombastic magics with big explosions.

                        Serena the traitor...interesting to see all 4 gods at last. Fairy Tail's "B" Team could be fun.
