Fairy Tail Chapter 505 Discussion

Don't worry Makarov is still alive, he is going to be revived in some bullshit way



You and the guy above you are going to look so stupid when he stays dead

Next week Makarov shed's a layer of skin like ash and comes back alive and if it's not next week then its after the war. He also gets much younger.



Erza once again in same boring outfit.

So should we vote on how many chapters till makarovs back? Will it be one? Or two? Definitely no longer than that...

Glad to see the previous fake deaths were intentional trolls by Hiro and that Makarov's death is going to stick. It was a super epic way for the geezer to go out. I like how he talked down Mavis and told her bluntly he wasn't going to let them get hurt or even watch one die.

Would be funny if Mavis plan included Makarov using Fairy Law when all the fodders are dealt with and only Spriggans are left.

lololol I just love how the community is just like "meh, he'll be back" hahaha

this chapter would be pretty great, IF the old man's gone for good this time. I also like how he forced the First to shut up



4/5 - 5/5

I think Makarov is really dead this time. And if this is actually a death that sticks... it sure as hell is anticlimactic. If you're going to kill a character, why would you do it like this? Not to mention the fact that Laxus and Natsu aren't around. Jeez...

Very skeptical of his death since recently the manga has been constantly been trolling deaths everywhere.



That's Mashima's trap and you guys all fell for it.



What kind of trap are we talking about here? The one where I'm like "Oh well I guess he's dead for good this time, even though we can't know for sure because almost no one dies off for real in this manga, and it's about the 4th time Makarov should be dead. His supposed death fell flat on its face and there was no emotional impact whatsoever, you really got me good this time Mashima!"?

And this is not the only problem, the fact that the whole matter of Makarov's death is crammed into yet another single chapter without any convincing foreshadowing, adding insult to injury by furthermore introducing in the same goddamn chapter at the last second the fact that Fairy Law leads to death under conditions that are coincidentally fulfilled as if to say "it has long-lasting consequences I-I swear guys! You gotta trust me on this one! No bullshit this time!". Even Makarov's avorted sacrifice back on Tenrou Island was more fleshed-out for God's sake. Not even mentioning that THERE WAS an alternative, and even backed-up by Makarov's motives it's yet another reason to feel his sacrifice amounts to virtually nothing in terms of story-telling.



There's no trap, no scheme, no planning. It's just pure incompetence with Mashima helplessly trying to make it seem as if "it was as intended". It's come to the point where I can't trust him to do anything right or to stick with anything he writes, I can't be emotionally affected whatever happens; it could very well be an illusion that will be broken with a snap comes the next chapter, so what's the point? Well, to be perfectly honest, I never gave too much of a damn about Fairy Tail, it was always something that comes out every week where I'm like "Might as well read it since we've come this far", but I can't say it's a manga where I felt concerned about the characters, the plot or anything even once. I did try my best to give it the benefit of the doubt as much as I could, hoping that it could someday head somewhere interesting, but now it has become like a disappointed, somewhat resigned father who lets out yet another brief sigh at the sight of the weekly, expected bad grades from his child.
