What's the reason for big shounens to rush the final war? They could have paced the enemies/battles and made it way longer.

At least it's not as bad as toriko where they made like 20 super revelation chapters in a row



Toriko has war? Isn't that manga about food?



It's by far the best long running shounen Manga atm imo. Yes it has a lot of fighting.

GILDARTS finally! I almost forgot you exist!

where have he been? seriously?

I hope we get to see why he's always not around.

To be frank I think Serena is just mid-tier among the Spriggans. I don't see how he can fare better than the ones with hax like Dimaria (and before someone tells me she was beaten by lolis, remember her best ability was completely countered and she was put against a heavy disadvantage against someone who was her slayer and received a power-up through an asspull -_-)



Do you think chapter 500 could be Acnologia coming back or an END awakening?

Well thanks that you´ve brought up the term "hax", that makes it easier to explain. The inherent flaw with hax abilities is that they require a natural counter that nullifies them or overwrites them. Since they are hax and don´t play by the rules they can only be beaten by either an even stronger hax ability or something that is a direct counter to them. The same way Dimaria had to be nullified by Ultear. While God Serena is a straightforward fighter and in a regular brawl I´d put my money on him judging by Hiros buildup.



Let me use more popular example eveyone most people in the Anime fandom know and many close minded people consider the most OP ability of all.

The Deathnote, which is a 1hit kill ability. Although this ability is utterly haxed and could kill characters like Goku or Frieza.

Nonetheless this ability is completely worthless against a character like Alucard who has stacked 1ups and can ressurect himself on a whim.

Now Dimaria and other Hax characters have the same issues, depending on the authors Hiro´s mood he can just declare Erza´s Nakagami armor a timespace counter (which he already did) and let her speedblitz Dimaria because her Hax made her sloppy in her combat.

Same applies to Jacob. He had a haxed ability but it was countered by Brandis´s underling because his ability was an anti hax.



On your question, one of the two, maybe both, maybe it´s the chapter the Spriggans are beaten and Zeref declares to go all out and show Natsu "despair".

I only assume that the Spriggans will be dealth with by then. As this is one of Hiro´s favorite moves. Rush through the Elite squad and get to the fight with the main antagonist that may or may not be satisfying.



I get your point but how will Serena deal with Age Seal?

finally gildarts is here !!!

congtats for 10th Anniversary

Finally Gildarts is back! Now here's to hoping he makes quick work of three or four of these Spriggan who were already defeated so he can battle it out with August.

Just what this manga needs: even more villain burials.

Well here are my fight prediction from 496 forward:



My fight predictions after 496:

August vs Gildarts,



Neinhart vs Mystogan,



Eileen vs Erza (Maybe with kagura)



White Dragneel vs Acnologia



Di Maria vs Oracion Seis, Meredy and maybe Ultear



Jellal vs Zeref

Aaand The Full Frontal Assault Trough the Front Lines!!! XD What do we expect from "Most Powerful" Team of Fairy Tail....even if they are Missing their Healer! XD



ah, there those 2 are....along with rest of the Alliance....Final Battle literally satrts now...and I am sure that the Acnologia joins into Frey before it is over.



cannot wait to see Alliance reactions for full Force of the Spriggan 12 tough.



HE IS HERE!!! GILDARTS IS HERE!!!!! But Damn the Serena is Strong....now we will see Why He is 1st in entire Fiore....and all those who very being pussy about him being weakling...He face the Gildarts, Who you think as strongest.*Snort*..now you can agree Serena is Strong...and his lost to Acnologia is quite literally understandable!!!

The whole time I was singing



"Guess who's back (back),

back again (again)

Girldarts back,

tell a friend (friend)



Gildarts back..

Gildarts back..

Gildarts back.."

ABOUT. FUCKING. TIME.

FT fans for weeks:



"Where is Gildarts!?!?"



"Please bring back Gildarts, Hiro!!!"



"Did Hiro forget about Gildarts?"



Gildarts returns:



"I KNEW Gildarts would return!!"



"Fucking called it!!! (please, stop acting like 11-year-olds.)



FT fans are... an interesting bunch.



It´s  different people who make complaints and the ones who praise it, mostly.

10 th anniversay celebrate covers,and gildarts just be a grandfather XD

Not much happened till the end. Quick recap, everyone teamed up to beat some footer soldiers, than God Serena showed up, and we had a little squirmish with Natsu, and Gildarts shows up and set up for the next chapter.



I am glad we are getting some allies, if it just Team Natsu and Juvia against the Spriggen that would be dumb. We need some help.



And I am with Cana, Gildarts is here, but it is about dam time, better have a good reason for where he has been, does he lost easily like Zoro or Kenpachi Zaraki, I am where have you been Gildarts?



Next chapter is called Forward, co I guess we move closer to the guild, while Gildarts and Serena will be off screened.



I can't really rate this chapter, it is just setup, but Gildarts return brings is up for me.
