This chapter was awesome.

I think that the next chapter has something to do with Yukino and Sorano. Sense they are sisters and the next chpter's name is "Elder sister and younger sister". It can be right?

Yeah, that makes sense. I think it wouldn't be about Eileen and Erza

That's totally how I think.

Did Yukino or Sorano said before that one of them has sister or is it just random guess?

About the title first thought about Mira and Lisanna, but don't feel like so right. And don't think that Eileen and Erza are sisters, well maybe we'll see next week. Just interested why people call her Irene, is there a different translation or what, doesn't seem like it's the same name.

Ohh boy, how convenient that Bradman wasn't brought back from the underworld.



Gajeel back just like that .......



Not liking Eileen, hopefully Acnologia comes and brutally murders her (in before Eileen has scarlet plot armour, maybe.......... alight no one cares)



Nothing much happened 3/5, would've given 1/5 in any other manga but not that disappointmented since I anyway knew that Gajeel would be back.



Guess all the fangirls and shippers are gonna celebrate this 😂

That transformation technique though..



Also, Zera is cute as fuck.

This chapter is actually quite interesting if i say so myself. First Gajeel is alive, second, Zera is 'revived' but temporarily, and lastly Irene finally sees Erza (or her hair to be more precised).



I have a theory that Irene is probably Erza's older sister then her mom, i mean like she seems a little to young to be her mother doesn't she? Also, if you look at the title of chapter 492 it's 'Older sister and Younger sister', so i feel like it's gonna concentrate on Erza and Irene.



As for Zera, i actually like the idea of her being 'revived' even if it's for a short time, Fairy Tail do need an extra help.  But doesn't Mavis always thinks of her? She probably does remember her too, so i find it a little weird. i don't know. I also knew that Gajeel wasn't dead, i mean Hiro did say that Fairy Tail WILL have a happy ending. And i'd also like to see Levy's reaction when she sees him.



Age is not perfectly reflected by appearance. You should know that already or is Zeref not proof enough?



Yeah Age can be seriously deceiving in FT because even it's unconfirmed, it can be  possible that Mages, while not living longer than Humans, age Slower because of magic.



But currently I think that Eileen/Irene is Erza Mom because of C-Mark. and what she did to Hisui and King in this chapter also gives points to that Theory...SHe can be her sister...anything can be happen...it is after all up to Hiro. ...but so far Sister theory is quite low Possibility.

Did you read the page in the link?



What do you infer from that?



And yes, it's personal. I actually wouldn't have minded an asspull at the end of the series, but why now? He just died 2 chapters back 😠



I read the whole chapter in two different translations not just the page!



That Gajeel was brought back through a legitimate way!



Well that´s the only fault you can blame FT for, it´s nonetheless not a plothole, other Shounen do it too and FT has done it in the past, there´s no reason for Hiro to stop doing it or for people to expect otherwise. Fact is, Gajeel being alive makes perfect sense and arguebly is less of an asspull than Jellal´s return into the story, which was in your beloved part one.



LMAO, I didn't like that either; would've preferred him dead as one of the most epic villains in the series (many of the events prior TOH had him pulling the strings in the shadows). But it was acceptable to me because he at least stayed dead for 2 arcs LOL and it was said that he directed the entire power of Etherion to the sky hence saving himself from getting disintegrated (but yeah, he should've stayed dead).



I did say that I wouldn't have minded Gajeel coming back at the end of the arc. Because now, what was the point of his death anyway?







Anyways , what do you interpret from that page (just curious)? I interpret that even if gajeel wasn't taken to the underworld he still would've "eventually" died like meruem and royal guards from HxH

Edit: if that statement wasn't there, I would've accepted that comeback as legit

@ Frostmourn & Metsujin



I think we agree that a good story has to establish its point quickly, because its important for the reader to know where we are going. It works like this in One Piece, Naruto, Kingdom, HxH somehow, Toriko, FullMetal Alchemist, Bakuman ...



Mangas that don't follow this rule but want to succeed try to emphasize character develpment through the story and introduce long term foes since the first volumes of the manga. Magi for example works like this, we don't know where we are exactly going but the story is still about Alibaba and Sinbad. Gintama on another hand is surviving a lot through comedy.



Then there are mangas which fail at establishing a goal and kill off the main vilains too soon : Bleach is the perfect example. Who reads Bleach today?







So now back to what you said. you tell me that the point of Fairy Tail is the story of the guild and I think that you're right it's the goal of Hiro Mashima. But is accomplishing tasks that the master gives you that entertaining?



Wouldn't it have been more entertaining to have a main hero chasing after dragons even if the 3 or 4 other main characters were following their own agenda?



Plus if it's the story of the guild then I expect character development. Now if we look at the guild, its a lot of people. Is it really possible to care about so many people? Plus most of them are NPC with random face, we don't even know their names they are just here to say "there are people in the guild", others have a name but they have been spending their time in the building since the first arc : Droy, Jet, that telepathy guy, the two hunters ... And then there is the inner circle : Makarov, Levy, Mirajane, Gajeel, ... but all in all, all these characters get no development at all except for a few shipping. How should I care really? They could all die for it doesn't matter at all.



All in all having a story about something as big as a guild but chosing to develop only 4 of them is perfectly stupid. Imagine the adventures of Luffy, Zoro Nami and ... their 60 buddies : John 1, John 2, John 3 ... John 60. Just get rid of the 60 and keep the three main chars.







And yeah Makarov should have died on Tenrou, that would have been far more meaningfull.
