Fairy Tail Chapter 501 Discussion

Please Hiro make my idea come true. (But make the battle interesting, not a one-hit-KO)

Gonna laugh my pants off if Lucy can hold DiMaria with something like Horologium (spelling?). I'm guessing he might save her once like he usually does but it would be cool if a stardress based on him could counter such an otherwise-op ability.



Remember that outside her time-BS DiMaria is at best a good swordswoman. Take that away and Erza or Kagura could stomp her easy.



In OnePiece an uber ability could be nullified by a seemingly-weak or unlikely ability, like the GomuGomu taking no damage from a Logia Thunder user or the Wax guy (Mr 3) holding his own agains the Poison-Poison user.



If something like this happens Cheria is gonna be pissed. Having lost her magic (permanently?) to defeat an opponent that even Lucy can handle.

I thought Horologium could only do that once per day and he already used that to protect her from Jacob.

Will we get another GMG Let's Torture Lucy for fun scene?

Somehow I was not impressed by Lucy new star dresses. Too much fanservice, not much actual effect on enemy.



Shame that even with star dress Lucy is weak and needs to be constantly saved by Natsu.

Good chapter.It was nice to see Lucy fighting again :)

Next chapter looks interesting :)

I'd rather have Natsu die in a blaze of glory than get with Lucy.. I know that lots of people ship thee two, but both characters don't have any signals for "loving" one another.



It would be like Luffy getting with Nami, which is totally their characters that have been developed.



While this chapter was decent in terms of fighting, I hope Hiro does not take this "Ill do anything to protect my friend" into a romantic bond between the two.



Natsu would be better suited to marry/ get with Lisana. This will always be the original ship that I believe Hiro intended for originally.



Just like another major Shonen manga (Naruto) I think the main character would work well with a minor character (Hinata/ Lisana) rather than the popular ship (Lucy)



Thoughts??? Hate?? Salt?



My god I never though people could be so in denial. It's very clear that Natsu and Lucy will get together whether you want it or not.. What signals do you need? The context? The interview for that underwhelming movie where Hiro stated Natsu's feelings? The overwhelming Natsu and Lucy pics and other stuff on Hiro's Twitter? The obvious Elie/Haru vibes? I don't pair anyone whatsoever but you NaLi fans are as bad as NaLu fans.. Natsu and Lisanna was never the original ship. She was to be killed off for story purposes. Having Lisanna get with Natsu would objectively suck considering they have yet to say a total of 30 words to each other since she was brought back



Sorry bro but my suspension of belief will go out the window and if there's anything I like about Mashima's writing is that he's pretty decent in the romance department and knows what he's doing for the most part. Max and Broom has more substance

Fuck you Mashima.



Also Brandish is 100% alive, she most likely made the wound smaller or some shit.



Next week friendship will defeat the timestop perv girl too, as Natsu will randomly overcome his "condition" (are we supposed to be worried for him? LOL not after Mashima already shown how easily he can trivialize that) and defeat the timestop girl.



Literally the only good thing about the chapter is confirmation of Lucy retaining her aquarius powers.



Otherwise while better than the ridiculous shit of last few chapters this is still like 3/5 at most. Not tomention most of this will get destroyed and pulled through shit next week since this is Hiro Mashima.

Wait, I'm confused here.  Who jobbed?  Unless you mean the confirmation of Neinhart's defeat (who I actually forgot about until I typed this), then...yeah.  He jobbed.  GJ, Irene.

Everybody did.



Neinhart literally is trash and his build up ammounted for fucking nothing.

Brandish drags the fight out and does not use her powers the way she should

The timestop bitch literally waited a whole chapter standing around till she did anything. And despite bitching about how the stuff is dragged out, I bet next chapter she will spend most of it monologuing till she gets defeated.

Okay, I get you.  I'd say I was disappointed in Neinhart, but honestly after seeing his power I was already done with him so I could take or leave the guy.  Brandish at least in-character wanted to throw the fight so I don't mind.  And...yeah I'm bracing myself for DiMaria.  I've seen people predict that Brandish is either gonna reshrink the tumor and Natsu'll blitz DiMaria when she's not looking or Lucy'll unlock CSK Stardress and No Sell DiMaria's Time Stop.  I'm not sure which outcome I'm more afraid of.



I am expecting something utterly stupid and disappointing. Like Lucy summoning her clock spirit and suddenly Dimaria's powers stop working.



Remember how it always goes:

They really should put on some clothes.

i see 2 outcomes right here, either Randy will shrink that thing in natsu again before she passes out and natsu destroys her, OR gray comes in the nick of time to stop mary and tries to kill Natsu or something like that & lucy will stop him
