Fairy Tail Chapter 498 Discussion

@geekwoglasses:



I already knew that, I'm just saying it seems odd that he can't go and kill Natsu outright, being probably significantly stronger than him.



I suppose 'devil slayer' could assist in killing Natsu, although it seems like a stretch that Gray would really be more effective than a Spriggan at killing him even with his increased effectiveness against natsu. Surely, multiple spriggans working together would easily dominate Natsu, but for some reason they never do this.

I'm impressed with how Mashima can hype and kill the hype in the same chapter. Seriously who here actually believes Juvia or Gray will die.



Well I want Juvia to die for the sake of the manga but I will be sad though if it happens cause Juvia's my second favorite female character in this manga next to Mira



Mashima won't kill her off. He already screwed up twice. First in Gajeel, second in Mira. No one is gonna believe him now. And with a title like Gray and Juvia, you expect Juvia to die? More like nakama power at the best here.



Well even they survive the ice lock by Invel, it seems that Juvia will still most likely to die. Remember in Avatar arc she had a disease and according to the theory i've watched just theory that disease came from when she fights Keyes of Tartaros.



And this arc is getting so screwed already I want some sad moments for the sake of the series tho



I'm pretty sure Juvia doesn't have any disease, she didn't really took in a large sum like Laxus did. And Porlysica already made an antidote through Tempesta.

Not falling for this again, Mashima.

It does prove that Mashime is SUPER DESPERATE if he keeps bringing back old things he himself fucked up(Look! Tartaros Curse powers! Look Gray's demon shadow stuff thing I ruined! Look Serena totally not dead!). Alas nothing is working. At this point Mashima is literally throwing Shit at the wall hoping some of it sticks.



Otherwise lold hard at random giant Brandish. Mashima at this point is going to cover all possible fetishes with her. Not to mention that she continues being a plot device.

2/5



He never really fucked it up, considering if you look at it objectively having Gray turn completely dark all the way back in Avatar would have been WAY too soon and is better suited for an end game plotline that makes him lose himself and try to kill Natsu/END. There never was a conclusion to the Gray kills Frosche plotline either, meaning that he never closed the door on this plotpoint.



I know you have no faith and like to nitpick literally everything, but what would you honestly say if it does go in the direction you don't think is possible? Will you eat your own words?

I actually enjoyed this chapter. Natsu melted the ice, huh? Eh, guess I can't be too surprised.

But I think I'm going to enjoy the next chapter more. Why? Obviously because I'm expecting a nice shipping moment, not because I think either of those two are going to die. It's impossible for Mashima to really create any tension at this point; nobody's gonna die. I'm kind of happy about that though; now I don't have to worry about Juvia's fate. She's going to be fine. I just hope we get some drama out of this.

So Mashima adds a new element to Dragon Slayers out of nowhere. Wonder if it was planned or inspired by a recent video game he just played (which would explain the late release).



And here comes Plot Device Brandish randomly coming in to set up obvious Gray X Juvia moment.



Thank you for pointing out the BS by that slut (Brandish)



She's making me HATE fairy tail as a whole, worst character of the series and a fucking BS plot device.



I'm calling it, she's gonna betray her home country which raised her as an orphan for someone she met  few hours ago, and will be the reason why Zeref loses the war.



How TF can you shrink something which is alredy destroyed Shm........ I'll stop my rant lol

Guess in the E.N.D. Grays gonna give her the Cold shoulder. I'm sorry that was so bad it gave me chills.

I'll leave now.

Good chapter overall



Good thing Invel actually wasn't serious and we get more insight on Gray and END. Also glad to see DeS magic getting some consequences.

@Canaas Invel wants Gray to kill END because END is a big threat to Zeref as its the only being capable of killing him, which obviously none of the Spriggans would want.
