Fairy Tail Chapter 487 Discussion

What great character development for Gajeel and the fact that Levy was willing to sacrifice herself (though she probably wont die) for Gajeel!! This chapter had a lot of good stuff going for it; 25 pages, great art, good action panels, and a decent cliffhanger.



I though August might be a little receptive to what Brandish had to say but ultimately I figured they wouldn't be able to persuade him. The battle up north is looking vicious I hope we get more of that in a latter chapter.

Wow well not liking the looks of things giving the next chapter title, that doesn't sound good.



Well the negotiations went as well as I thought it would, which is not good, though I did like what Brandish how she is still a citizen of Alverez and puts things in prospective and reminds, Alverez is not a dark guild it is a country with citizens just like Ishgar, so this is a more complex situation than anything we dealt with before, which reminds us whey Happy's idea of nuking Alverez is a terrible idea.

Mashima is making up crap as he goes at this point.

Pulling Erza's mother/sister out of nowhere. Trying to please Jerza shippers with fan service. Lol wtf happened to this series?

That what´s going on since around the beginning of the series. trolling during series situations, though I didn´t mind that one bit I mean comeone that´s to be ecpected.

Spoiler alert chapter 485-492: August will suck ass guys, this is not a prediction anymore. Last week I could have only predicted the plot , now I can write it for him.



Brandish will try to negotiate, August will refuse because he is loyal to Zeref and yell that. Brandish will remain stubborn. August will brand her a traitor and fataly wound her. (Gonna use present tense now)Natsu who was in charge of handing her out peacefully, goe apeshit .August blocks him and performs some seemingly OP spells that scracthes Natsu. Natsu gets a hit on August. August is surprised that he managed to even scratch him, since he´s scum that´s so much beneath him. Natsu gets a power up through rage and gives friendship speech about how he dares to strike down a comrade (igoring that Brandish seemingly did the same when introduced, but it´s good now because she healed his cancer, she´s a good person). August gives speech about how comradery is bs and you don´t need it if you have power. Natsu gets one clean hit in and oneshots him.

While this happens we get shots of Brandish inbetween, asking Lucy and Wendy tearful why they help someone like her while Wendy is healing her wounds. Lucy responds with some bullshit, Brandish closes her eyes and cries some more (insert flashback picture of her childhood next to her crying). "Briliant writing Hiro, brilliant, that immediately makes her super tragic." Lucy convinces her to join Fairy Tail when the war is over (maybe this happens after the war).Eileen senses how August is down and claims that he wasn´t that special afterall , while we see her unscratched with the 6 "Monsters" lying defeated infront of her.



Cut to Erza who she´s setup to fight her and trust me be prepared for more bullshit.



I can't wait that this doesn't happen.

Just so you don't write such crap anymore. xD



Called it, some people will be salty.





That was the most obvious. August being loyal and considering the negotiation as a betrayal.

This is not "prediction", just logic and common sense. xD



And Natsu's mantra (guildmate or companion = friend/family) is well known since the beginning of the series, so this is not a surprise as well and not, again, a prediction.

So, this is is, Gajeel's Dragon Force!

And GaLevy is officially canon!

If anybody can explain it to me, Gajeel dragon's form is immune to curses and he can punch that guy? If yes, than okay, i guess, nothing is surprising at this point.

Am I the only one who suddenly broke out in tears?

Gajeel just killed me: "As long as I can keep the woman I fell for safe, nothing else matters". I was screaming at first and then there were many tears.



This!! i almost cried cause this line was so awesome! "the woman I fell for" - i read this part like 100 times before reading ahead :D

now he better doesn''t die!

So Braddman absorbed the curses of Tartaros. Interesting.



Did NOT see the kamikaze ending coming tho

Hmm...I actually don't have much criticism this chapter except that the Spriggans are the shittiest villains in the history of this series. And Gajeel's Dragon Force moment was underwhelming and anti-climatic.



Mashima finally solidified Gajeel and Levi's relationship which is great for the FT shipping community--which I still think is larger than it should be. The "romance" in this manga is comedy. And people actually cry to this shit lol

brook easteregg? :0

Wow well not liking the looks of things giving the next chapter title, that doesn't sound good.



Well the negotiations went as well as I thought it would, which is not good, though I did like what Brandish how she is still a citizen of Alverez and puts things in prospective and reminds, Alverez is not a dark guild it is a country with citizens just like Ishgar, so this is a more complex situation than anything we dealt with before, which reminds us whey Happy's idea of nuking Alverez is a terrible idea.



So Bradman did he just absorb all of the 9 demon gates powers, well wouldn't he be a better opponent for Mira is that is the case, Mira has the only 9 demon gate he didn't get his hands on.



Did Gajeel confess his feelings for Levy, can we just say they are a couple already? I really they got together during the time skip, and Levy might even be pregnant, that is my head canon.



Still Gajeel beats Bradman, but he is such a punk that he wants to take Gajeel with him, the next chapter is called "The Two Of Us Together, Forever and Always", you are actually going to kill off Gajeel? And destroy my favorite couple in the series, no just no. If you want to kill off someone kill off Ichiya, not Gajeel. I guess we will  see next chapter. I liked the chapter, Gajeel admitting his feelings, but don't like where this is headed. This is suppose to be a more upbeat series.
