Fairy Tail Chapter 443 Discussion

I'm sure a few others have as well, but CALLED IT!



Ever since we got this magazine cover image (Which I cropped for convenience)






around the middle of last year, I knew Natsu would end up with a tattoo of some sort and the fact that he kept the bandage on his right arm on after removing all the rest was a dead giveaway.



Seems to be reacting to her power, and the fact that the Dragons also tied into Ishagar seems to also play some relevance to it as well. I think the teaser image for the new movie gave it away already, though.



Also, if it ends up with Erza fighting Brandish then I'd be okay with that. I got sick to death of her fighting Kyouka it bored me.

I gotta say recently I've been disappointed but this chapter was pretty good...... Until the team B part ended. They r giving them waaay too little scenes and they r better than team Natsu the only thing team Natsu got going for them right now that was pretty cool is Natsu arm. Who knows what it could be. It could be his first signs of dragonfication since he is the son of Igneel and a dragonslayer and we don't know if they fully finished the anti bodies so instead turning into a full dragon he could just be changing a little. Or it could be his first signs of his Etherious form like the 9 demon gates had.



After getting so OP and losing his limiter(Igneel) his true powers could be starting to grow, maybe a lil too fast, and as such either his dragonslayer powers have increased a lot and he is undergoing dragonfication or it is his first signs or reawaking his END powers. Or u know it could just be something he got while training.



Besides Natsu Arm the only good think besides B team part is that the hype is real not like in avatar arc. Seriously though if the next chapter isn't all B team, mice and long, and Kaxus doesn't make an appeared, then I'm gonna be pissed.



oh man if mashima suddenly turned over the manga to me, ill give you your team b...i will write to you team b so hard that you'll practially be begging to see your pink haired, dragon-slaying friend again

I can't decide how I felt about this chapter. Laxus and crew joining Blue Pegasus just doesn't feel right... The GaLe bait was hilarious with Juvia's commentary. But in regards to Alvarez... It just felt like Mashima is trying too hard to demonstrate these guys as a threat. The escalation of Fairy Tail always felt real up until now. For heaven's sake, if Alvarez's best are this strong, they could've wrecked Tartaros without trying. Am I the only one that feels this way? This arc is coming across as forced...



I think all of the Laxus stuff was a joke lol Actually what Tartaros did, played in Alvarez's advantage, since Face was magic bomb that nullifies magic, if Alvarez invaded to get Lumen Histoire (that's their plan), they would've been... you know useless, because the bomb would've destroyed the magic. Tartaros had their own goal, but since they failed, at the same time 'succeeded' in getting reed of Face and Etherion, Alvarez can now attack and take Lumen Histoire. It kinda fits if you think about it.



I still wanna know the fucking point of the entire tarturous guilds plan. They were fighting END the entire time, lil END Natsu looked exactly like older Natsu or guess from his last name Dragneel, you can't tell me they don't even know the last name of their master/creator/person they r supposed to kill. Also if END was the one trying to stop them WTF was in that book and if they had succeeded what would happened. I'd say either nothin and us Readers would laugh our asses off or Natsu full power as END is unlocked and he can use curse power, however Natsu still FT wizard so he uses his new power to take revenge in a magi less world



Dude you know all the demos have another form, prior to how they normally look right? Right? Look at Mard Geer, his demon form looks nothing like he's normal form (aka Mard Geer looks the most human out of all, also I believe Silver had a demon form too). I don't believe the other demons know what E.N.D stands for, just Zeref, and I think Igneel knew too. Nope curses feed of negative emotions, it was explained. Someone might die, and it's all for Natsu's purpose in becoming E.N.D and killing Zeref, because that's what Zeref wishes, but for him to achieve that, Natsu needs to go through despair, Zeref already said that he'll basically make Natsu's life a 'living nightmare'.

If I may say something, I don't think how they reacted to Brandish's power should mean she's stronger than Mard Geer.

I mean, look at it this way, Natsu trembled before Gildarts but was able to stand up to Mard Geer just fine, I would assume Mard Geer is stronger than Gildarts if he really took on the Celestial Spirit King and fought him as an equal.

I just think it's just a shounen problem really, power level inconsistencies to hype up the most recent villain.



Did you not see what she did to the island. It's pretty obvious she's much stronger than Marde

Okay, hear me out, the Celestial Spirit King was able to slice through Qube (I believe that's what Tartaros's floating island was called) and Mard Geer fought him as an equal, so I don't know, really if it wasn't for the fact that Mard was able to go toe to toe with some like the CSK, I'd totally agree that Brandish is far beyond him. Besides, I still believe that Natsu and Gray only won because of the Devil Slaying magic, that's the only reason they survived Mard's Momento Mori anyway.



That cube was nowhere near as large as the island plus it was a living thing. That tower that the island became could act like a BASEBALL bat compared to the cube >_>



Hell Erza punched Kyouka through it in record time.

Er....you sure?







I'm not even saying I think you're wrong, I just legitimately can't tell.

Also, consider how stupidly strong she is in general, I'd imagine Erza could burst her way through the other island as well.

You're acting as if Alvarez wanted anything to do with Fiore or Tartaros in general except LH





Tartaros was powerful but they were never stated to being the strongest. Zeref labelled them as failed projects.

You missed the point. I was comparing the power-levels of the two factions, not their motives.

Zeref labeled them as failed projects, but he's pretty much the strongest wizard ever. The established power levels of Alvarez pretty much says one of them could solo Mard Geer without breaking a sweat. Does that feel right to you?



Yes. There's always a bigger fish in the sea.

The Laxus gang joining blue pegasus huh. Who would've thought? I didn't even think they would join another guild.



The panel where Natsu is kind of touching his bandages on his arm; hopefully that will be important later.



And Brandish, that is some insane power if you can alternate an island like that. Hopefully we'll see the other 12 soon.



R.I.P Marin (in one chapter lol)

Freaking super mage o.O that was interesting to the max!

that was one of the Spriggan 12/ or the 12 shields, n the pride of alvarez..

the amount of power, and made natsu hold his arm with the bandage on ,,, ever sense i first saw it i wonder what happened to his arm there, dont think is for decoration? but we also know now Makarov is alive!



But seriously! Fuck that i'm more interested about GaLe :DDD awesome and hilarious bath scene, poor Elfman..

and lucy in color O.O *boing* down boy!
