Line 23:
* Well, lets consider this. At the start of the series, she only has one idea in mind, to join Fairy Tail. She says that she's a big fan of the guild. The thing is, she didn't know any of the most famous members, except Mirajane. She had never heard of Luxus, Mystogan, Erza or Gildarts, even if, like Jose said at the end of his arc, they are famous all around the country. So, the only thing she knew about Fairy Tail was that Mirajane was there. What a devoted [[Fan Girl]] Lucy is...
** [[Cloudcuckoolander|Lucky]] seems to agree, according to the OVA at least. We'll have to see if [[The Cuckoolander Was Right]] though.
{{quote| Happy (Asking about who various Fairy Tail members like): What about Lucy?<br />
Levy: It's definitely Natsu.<br />
Bisca: It could be Gray.<br />
[[Clingy Jealous Girl|Juvia]]: Juvia thinks it's Loki.<br />
Lucky: Isn't it Mira? }}
*** Possibly subverted if the [[Help Yourself in The Past|third OVA is canon]].
* Also, Lucy has so much [[Les Yay]] with so many girls, (just look at the main page), it's becoming hard to believe she's only interested in men. It will probably soon be canon. [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot|Let's hope.]]
* Lucy has only shown explicit interest in a man twice. The first was Loki, and that stopped when she found out he was a Stellar Spirit. The second was in a bonus chapter, {{spoiler|that appears to have been rendered non-canon by the events of [[Wham! Episode|chapter 253]]}}.
 
== The above WMG is true and it started like that... ==
After her mother's death, our dear Lucy was feeling really lonely, her father keeping her in their mansion and always working, neglecting her. The only friend of her age that Lucy had was a maid, daughter of two servants working for her father. Both of them had developed a strong bond and were the best friends someone could imagine. One night, after Lucy first met [[Arranged Marriage|the man that her father wanted her to marry]], she ran in her room, crying. Her friend came in her room, not wanting to let Lucy alone. Only, the maid couldn't keep her secret to herself any longer, and declared her love and admiration to Lucy, and how she wanted to always be with her. At this moment, both Lucy and her friend understood that their friendship was much more than that. It lasted for a little while, but when her father discovered it, the maid and her family were fired and sent away. Obviously, Lucy never forgave her father and it was one of the reason as to why she ran away, hoping to find her again.
 
Finally, Virgo uses the appearance of Lucy's long lost love, because it's how Lucy wants her to look like.
 
== Natsu ''has'' heard Wendy's name before- when he received his scarf from Igneel. ==
Line 41:
Igneel gave him his scarf, so Natsu has a great attachment to it. But why did he receive it in the first place?
 
Take note- this is pretty much the only time you see Natsu's uncovered neck. https://web.archive.org/web/20100727090918/http://www.onemanga.com/Fairy_Tail/10/18/
 
My guess: Natsu sliced open his neck pretty badly when he was with Igneel (that is a HUGE scar to have on one's neck!), and Igneel turned to Grandine to help heal it. Thus, explaining why Natsu would know the name Wendy!
Line 50:
 
== Bixlow's "babies" are really his babies ==
[[Alternate Character Interpretation]] - Bixlow is actually a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] who sincerely care about his children (which either came from an deceased wife/girlfriend or orphans). Yet he realized that his five children will only be miserable because he doesn't have the adequate skills to become a father and that his job doesn't allow him to be with them everytime. He is forced to implant them to five dolls, as painful as it is to him. But at least Bixlow doesn't have to leave them anymore (nor does he have to feed them).
* Or his children may have been on the brink of death, and since there is obviously very little healing magic his last resort was implanting their soul.
 
Line 59:
That's why they're so fearsome. How else would {{spoiler|the Black Dragon have seriously injured [[Walking Wasteland|Gildarts]], the guy you burst into pieces if you even touch}}?
 
== Edoras Natsu will be a [[Weak but Skilled]] [[Anti -Hero]] ==
{{spoiler|Edoras inverts people's personality's but not their morality. Natsu will not be a dragon slayer in this verse, but have other weaker magics. He will fight by being a [[Combat Pragmatist|tricky]] [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative]] and [[Shoot the Dog|ruthless]] bastard rather than being a [[Determinator]] [[Idiot Hero]]}}.
* {{spoiler|As of Chapter 174, the weak part is somewhat confirmed. If Natsu gets sick when he is in a vehicle, his counterpart is [[Weaksauce Weakness|afraid ot everything when he is "not" in his car.]]}}
Line 82:
 
== At the end of a future arc, the very last fight will be between the bad guys and [[The Hero|Natsu]], [[The Lancer|Erza]], [[The Smart Guy|Mystogan]], [[The Big Guy|Gildarts]] and [[The Chick|Mirajane]]. ==
Notice that the roles could be changed a little. Anyway, things would turns out so bad, only the ultimate team of Fairy Tail would stand a chance to save everyone. The possibility of a [[Sixth Ranger]] is also there, and it would probably be either [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Gajeel/Gazille, Laxus/Luxus or Gérard/Jellal]]. Have we any reason for thinking that something like that might happen? Not at all. But does someone has the guts to say that [[Rule of Cool|it doesn't sound awesome]]? That's what I thought.
 
== Lucy's mother may still be alive, and she is the holder of the Stellar Spirit Dragon. It's not explicitly stated how she died, so there may be a possibility ==
Line 112:
 
== Mystogan is not as smart as he seems. ==
Mystogan's magic transports all magic from Edoras to Mangolia. So if his plan has gone the way he wished, Pantherlily would have been the king, and be transported to Mangolia soon after, leaving a disorganised Edoras.
 
== Everyone has got an automatic powerboost ==
Line 126:
 
== King Faust is the Edoras counterpart of Master Hades. ==
They look the about same and are both leaders of a dark organisation.
 
== Ultear and Laxus are siblings. ==
* For starters, We don't know anything about Laxus's [[Missing Mom|mother]] or Ultear's dad. Ultear mentioned something about her mother, [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Ul/Ur]] being abandoned by her father for being foolish. Laxus's father, Ivan,was excommunicated from Fairy Tail and is now the master of a dark guild. Hmmm.
** My only real problem with that is that Laxus and Ur look nothing alike. I mean, sure, maybe Makarov's hair color skipped a generation and just showed up in Laxus instead of Ivan but from what I've seen so far, everybody in-series who has blood relatives all tend to favor. Makarov, Ivan and Laxus all have similar eyes; Ur and Ultear could be twins. Happy and Lucy both look like a mix of their parents... Can't say that for Laxus and Ur.
 
Line 143:
 
== Mest has the exact same powers of [[Touhou|Koishi Komeiji]] -- The power to sense and manipulate the subconscious ==
Mest is only able to {{spoiler|implant memories}} on a subconscious level. This explains why the Fairy Tail members can only vaguely recognize him. Also, he cannot {{spoiler|teleport}}, he can only make others fail to register his existence in their minds. If this WMG is true, then this would automatically make Mest either a [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] or [[Obfuscating Stupidity]], since Mest basically won the [[Superpower Lottery]].
** {{spoiler|He can teleport.}}
 
== All Lacrima is created by [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child|torturing people]]. ==
Lacrima is Italian/Latin for tear, so it might be an indicative name.
* Possible, but not necessarly. For example the spell used by Edolas, Anima, is the Italian for "Soul", but it doesn't seems to have something to do with souls, hasn't it?
Line 154:
 
== Gildartz is stronger than Makarov. ==
Or at the very least, he has the potential to be. His personality seems to be bordering on [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] and {{spoiler|with Makarov dead, someone has to stop Hades.}} Also, nothing Makarov has ever done could make Natsu drop to his knees crying in fear, which Gildartz did just by releasing his [[Battle Aura]].
 
== {{spoiler|Laxus will be the next Master of Fairy Tail.}} ==
Line 175:
* {{spoiler|Natsu now has officially [[Mega Manning|copied]] God Slayer magic. He now has the ability to create Black Fire and combine it with his default Dragon Fire permanently.}}
* OR {{spoiler|Natsu can only create Black Fire after every time eating it. Therefore, he virtually can only do it once.}}
* {{spoiler|Natsu will be horribly sick after eating Black Fire. Sick enough to take him out the rest of the arc, giving way for [[A Day in Thethe Limelight|everybody else to shine]]. Especially Lucy.}}
 
== Master Ivan is Gildarts' [[Rival Turned Evil]] ==
Line 186:
* Probably not. Erza Scarlet displays no violent tendencies until the very end of her captivity.
 
{{spoiler|Mystogan/Jellal}} on the other hand, has a kindhearted nature. {{spoiler|Mystogan}} made it his life's work to save a group of people he'd never met and barely got to know while he was even doing it. He even jumped in to help them against completely unrelated dangers {{spoiler|(taking out Phantom Lord's subunits, challenging Laxus) Jellal reflects this, as even while he's a villain, he's [[Anti -Villain|got good intentions]] and believes that [[Utopia Justifies the Means|he's creating a better world.]] When he gets amnesia and loses Ultear's brainwashing, he becomes a legitimate hero, fighting to stop Nirvana from awakening.}}
 
== Master Hades acted undercover as the former Chairman of the Magic Council. ==
Looking through the earlier chapters in the manga, specifically at Erza's trial after the Lullaby arc, one can spot who is presumably the Chairman judging the case. What's notable about it? Not only is his [[Face Framed in Shadow|entire body framed in shadow]] apart from eyes, but {{spoiler|it's only one eye we get to see, his left eye. The right eye isn't seen, which is the eye Hades has his eyepatch on}}. It also makes sense during the {{spoiler|Tower of Paradise}} arc, where the Chairman is said to have fallen ill. We learn after that arc that {{spoiler|Hades managed to get one of the keys to [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|unseal]] [[Ultimate Evil|Zeref]]. Essentially this might be what he did while he pretended as the Chairman to be ill.}}
* Nice catch, but the ONLY real problem with this theory is that he can't appear shadowed all the time, and probably made a public appearance or two - at least to the magic guilds. Makarov, being a Guild Master, should know what he looks like, and would've recognized the former master that he hasn't seen in 40+ years.
** Quite true that I shall admit. Of course we don't know if does make such public appearances either though, or if he uses transformation magic for such, but that is speculating too far. Also, Makarov didn't recognise Hades purely on appearance alone, but also how he spoke to him, what he spoke of, as well as him using Grimoire Law.
 
== Brain had [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|good]] intentions ==
Nirvana is a magic which reverses light and darkness. Every member of Oracion Seis was more or less good until they were turned in the Tower of Heaven. But how does Brain want to use Nirvana? To turn his [[Super -Powered Evil Side]] in Magic Jesus, at that point he knows that Nirvana is dangerous and destroys it. That also explains why Oracion Seis has six members, one for ecery Nirvana Lacrima.
* Holy...shit...I LOVE THIS THEORY. It's too bad that he was shown even before turning into Zero to want to use Nirvana on Cait Shelter...Otherwise, this would be a cool idea.
** That could be written off as a sensible precaution to prevent those who might have a sneaky surprise from sealing if they didn't realise what he was doing or didn't agree.
Line 203:
 
== Lucy is Layla ==
They look almost identical, and [[Rave Master]] (of which [[Fairy Tail]] recycles ideas) features a similar scenario with two identical characters of which one was disappeared.
* That would mean Lucy is her own mother...eew.
* WARNING. [[Rave Master]] spoiler ahead: {{spoiler|The scenario that was mentioned involves Elie and Resha. Elie was originally thought to be Resha's reincarnation, but then it was found out that Resha never died, she was only put into suspended animation and her memory wiped. However little a chance this has to be right, the chance isn't zero, as Lucy is an expy of Elie/Resha.}}
Line 220:
 
== Ultear is actually [[Older Than They Look|Older Than She Looks]] ==
Think about it. She said it herself that {{spoiler|she manipulated Jellal into thinking she was Zeref since childhood, but looks no older than him.}} But how would this be possible? Remember, her magic deals with {{spoiler|time, so she actually COULD have traveled back in time, and brainwashed Jellal than. Another possible theory would be that Ultear is using her magic to actually keep herself younger, or even take herself out of the actual time stream. It could explain why her mother thought she was dead, too.}}
* Not likely. She looks pretty young in that flashback.
 
Line 244:
 
== Clannad Arc ==
To prevent [[Overtook the Manga|overtaking the manga]], there will be a [[Filler Arc]] of the anime that will basically retell the story of [[Clannad (Visualvisual Novelnovel)|Clannad]], with Gray and Juvia taking the respective rolls that their voice actors played, Tomoya and Nagisa.
* As a fan of the series, I REALLY wish that would happen! XD
 
Line 310:
 
== Raven Tail's armored man... ==
...is Laxus's half brother. [[Rule of Drama|They're going to wind up in the same event]] and he's going to [[Hannibal Lecture]] Laxus. Although considering who we're dealing with, there's probably going to be a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]].
** Alternatively, he's Ivan himself in his best disguise. Come on, do you think he'll let go a chance to fight his own son face to face?
** {{spoiler|As of chapter 286: Holy crap, I was right!}}
Line 317:
Someone had to say it.
** Zeref is a [[Time Lord]], which explains why he is so old and seems to know Natsu.
** Alternatively, Natsu is a [[Time Lord]] who [[Doctor Who (TV)|regenerated]] into someone new, and for some reason forgot who he previously was. Zeref, however, recognizes him. Gajeel and Wendy are the same, but Zeref doesn't recognize them.
 
== Narpuding is tracking Gray via magical power, something the illusions cannot duplicate. ==
Line 331:
== Cana started drinking because she failed her first S-Class Exam ==
 
== In the very likely event that Raven Tail gets [[Laser -Guided Karma]] handed over to them: ==
* Flare Corona will get hers from [[Papa Wolf|Alzack]] and [[Mama Bear|Bisca]] [[ItsIt's Personal|Connell]].
 
== Zeref and Mavis know each other personally. ==
Line 347:
He can get 100% on expert on every song, but only when he activates [[Just for Pun|Dragon Force]].
 
== Fried is [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]] ==
In the anime he was the only not in line when Erza put on her [[Naughty Nurse Outfit]].
* Plus he's far more devoted to Laxus than the other Raijinshu...
Line 386:
 
== Kinana aged really slowly while she was still Cuberos. ==
Compare her appearance from before the seven year timeskip; her body was more childlike in contrast to her now taller and buxom build. It's possible that after she changed back to her original self, her body started to catch up in growth during the seven years.
 
== Flare will have a [[Heel Face Turn]] and join Fairy Tail. ==
Line 411:
 
== Jellal is actually [[Resident Evil|Albert Wesker]] ==
{{quote| '''Jellal''' (in Episode 38) :[[Memetic Mutation|7 more minutes.]] 7 more minutes until Etherion fires down on us. Let's have fun for the next 7 minutes, Erza.}}
 
I '''CANNOT''' have been the only one to think Wesker when Jellal said that.
 
{{quote| '''Wesker''' (in RE5): 7 minutes. 7 minutes is all I can spare to play with you.}}
 
== The Eclipse plan... ==
They seem to be targeting Lucy and now Yukino for it, right? Well, Layla Heartfilia was also a Stellar Spirit mage and she died on the day that the dragons disappeared. My theory is that the Eclipse plan has already happened once before- it sacrifices a Stellar Spirit mage in order to seal away the dragons. Layla was the first sacrifice- I guess voluntarily, since she gave away her keys beforehand - and after that the dragons went missing. Lucy and Yukino are the only Stellar Spirit mages in Fiore with golden zodiac keys, so it's only logical that they'd be targeted.
This could mean that the plotters are [[Well -Intentioned Extremist|WellIntentionedExtremists]] who want to seal away Acnologia for safety.
* Or possibly Arcadias learned of the original Eclipse plan and wants to reverse it, if he believes he can somehow use it or another method to control the Dragons. The king just doesn't realise Arcadias wants the power for himself, not the kingdom.
* Both are possible. The only problem is that they never say what ''day'' Layla died on. Her grave only showed the year.
Line 426:
 
== Yukino will join Fairy Tail ==
After hearing her story, Makarov will accept her into the guild to provide the comfort that she needs as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. After that, he will head over to Sabertooth, and in a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] informs Gemma that he accepted Yukino in before dropping [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] on him.
 
== Rogue and Sting will be booted from Sabertooth, and go to different guilds ==
Line 435:
 
== Gray does like Juvia back. ==
The likely reason why he doesn't reciprocate is that he knows that [[Clingy Jealous Girl|her]] [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|behavior]] towards him and her [[Thinks Like a Romance Novel|wild]] [[Shipping Goggles|imagination]] won't make a healthy relationship.
 
== The mystery bunny in the tournament is Zeref. ==
Line 446:
 
== The tall masked guy who is supposed to be Obra is in fact just a puppet. [[Demonic Dummy|The actual Obra is that creepy critter]] who directly attacked Wendy. ==
(Thanks to the "最強 [Saikyou] Dragon" blogger who [http://weareawesomeness.net/2012/06/04/fairy-tail-285-breakdown/ proposed this theory]{{Dead link}}.)
 
== Dragon Slayer (Unconfirmed) ==
Line 457:
 
== All of the Dragon Slayers ARE dragons, but when they hatch they're in human form. ==
So far, it's safe to say the Dragon Slayers seem to have no human parents and were raised by their respective dragons/parents. The ages can be explained by 80 years gestating in a dragon egg; the practice in many Asian countries is to determine that a child is 1 year old when its born, after all. Their skin seems to be a hint at it too; Gajeel's skin even has bolts in it, and Natsu's skin develops scales when he uses his Dragon Slayer magic, and both have fangs even when not using their magic attacks (Laxus only had fangs when using it, a hint to his being fake). Another big hint is that they ''can eat their respective element''; even with magic, it's a bit hard to explain how a ''learned magic'' (in comparison to an ''inherited magic'') can be in constant use to keep Gajeel and Natsu's insides from getting ripped to pieces/burned. Even looking at Natsu's nickname (The Salamander), it seems to follow that he's not quite human.
So, then why are they Dragon ''Slayers''? Simple: there's only been one Dragon of anything at any one time, and even though they're referred to as Dragon Slayers, they're also the Dragons of ___ (Natsu being fire, Gajeel metal, and Wendy sky): in order to master their magic, they ''must slay the previous dragon (their '''parent''')''. Natsu and Gajeel have been referred to as the Dragons of Fire and Metal repeatedly in narration and dialogue, despite that they use Dragon ''Slayer'' magic. It's not that big of an assumption that the purpose of the magic is to indeed slay dragons, and it follows that the best way to know it's been mastered is by slaying the dragon that taught them how to use it.
* The previous WMG about them turning into dragons applies in the sense that they'll change ''forms'' once they finally master their magic, but in reality they've just been dragons in human form for the time being.
* It's worth noting right off the bat that Laxus' reveal as the supposed Lightning Dragon Slayer does nothing to challenge this. It's been revealed that it was a fake magic that he acquired as a child, and his father plans to remove it for his own uses. There's been no such discussion in the manga to point to the idea that the others' Dragon Slayer magic is removeable.
* Wendy's appearance seems to promote this idea too; she's very young (Natsu or Gajeel is the oldest DS so far), doesn't seem to have any parents with how Charle takes care of her, and her dragon (ie parent) doesn't seem to be around.
* This WMG (and the one above it) actually makes more sense when you remember that in [[Rave Master]], not only were dragons capable of reaching a human form, they were actually ''stronger'' as humans than dragons. Mashima could simply be inverting that idea for [[Fairy Tail]].
 
== The Dragons didn't disappear, they reside inside the True Dragon Slayers. ==
Surprised this isn't here yet. I actually had this idea when {{spoiler|Natsu Beat Gerard, given he started forming scales of all things on his face}} but from what's been seen since then it explains a lot of things, especially the Dragon's Roar chapter, along with the fact that both Natsu and Gazille couldn't get through the barrier. Ultimately this will result in a scene in which the Dragon Slayers learn that the one who had taken care of them for so long never actually left, and instead were right there all along, in order to protect them and in turn prepare them for what was to come. Likely something to do with the [[Big Bad]] Zeraf given the way multiple plots have been set up and interconnecting of late.
* The only issue with this is that we've had a scene where Igneel was talking to a wisp about him leaving Natsu behind. Doesn't quite fit together.
** Depends on where that took place. If it took place elsewhere, then yeah, there's an issue. If it took place in the equivalent of Natsu's mind scape, then everything still fits together.
** That wasn't a wisp, that was Grandine, the dragon who raised Wendy. She mentions Wendy in that conversation too, and I believe Wendy refers to her later on when she herself appears.
** Exactly. And for some reason Natsu remembered the name Wendy when he first met her, but just couldn't place where he heard it (telling Gray to remember for him). Provided that conversation took place in the equivalent of Natsu's mind scape, many things click together all at once.
 
== Dragon Slayers are actually stone statues turned into living pseudo-human beings. ==
Line 477:
== Zeref will turn out to be a Dragon Slayer. ==
Since it's somewhat common in Shonen for [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] to share similar [[Game Breaker|Game Breaking powers]] as one or more of the protagonists, such as the case of Haru vs. Lucia in ''[[Rave Master]]''. We already know that Zeref is at least capable of creating demons, but nobody said that was the limit of Zeref's abilities. That, and Dragon Slayer vs. Dragon Slayer fights are always awesome.
* Actually this one would also work with young/amnesiac? Zeref saying that he is waiting for Natsu to kill him because Natsu is the only one who can. Since dragon slayers already seem to be as good as dragons, it would make sense for dragon slayers to be slain by other dragon slayers.
* Specifically, he's probably the Life Dragon Slayer, given the nature of his ability to kill anything that comes near him (consume life) and create living magic (breathe life). And if that's the case, then the dragon he's connected to is most likely Acnowlogia.
* Alternatively, he is a God Slayer, like Zancrow.
Line 501:
== Dragons (and Dragon Slayers) have bodies made of Lachryma. ==
It would explain a lot. Lachryma is crystal so a human fashioned out of it would count as a crystal statue, which may have been close enough to stone for the barrier. In the Phantom Lord invasion arc Natsu destroyed the Lachryma that controlled the cannon when his opponent said that he wouldn't be able to damage it enough to destroy it even with the crack in it, if Dragons=Lachryma then Dragon Slayer magic should do more damage to Lachryma as well. It also answers questions about the Edoras arc; the Dragon Slayers don't get converted to Lachryma because they already are Lachryma, and they can turn the Lachryma back to who it had been previously because they convert things to and from Lacryma all the time!
* additional thought: maybe when Dragon Slayers slay dragons the dragons revert to the (human) form they previously had, while the Dragon Slayer begins changes into a full dragon.
 
== Dragonslayers have the potential to use elements similar to theirs. ==
Line 580:
 
== The hand from Charle's vision belongs to {{spoiler|Lucy.}} ==
It would explain why Cana and Natsu are crying in the premonition. {{spoiler|Lucy did narrate that she would be participating in the S-Class Mage Exam in a surprising way, and maybe it didn't just mean by being Cana's partner.}}
** Confirmed, though it had nothing to do with their crying.
 
== Issue 244 will be Laxus pulling a [[Big Damn Heroes]] ==
The name of the issue is "Thunder Crashes" which could be a reference to the storm outside, to Laxus (who was shown sensing something was wrong after Makarov went down) or possibly both. He could have some super move or powerup that he can only use during a thunderstorm, that will allow him to challenge Hades. Bonus points if he [[Taking the Bullet|takes a hit]] to save someone, [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|and then berates them for being weak]].
* {{spoiler|Confirmed.}}
 
Line 590:
* This is correct! {{spoiler|At least, until Gildarts leaves the guild to go on a journey.}}
 
== {{spoiler|The boy shown at the end of Chapters 234 and [[Wham! Episode|253]] is Macao's son.}} ==
{{spoiler|During the seven year [[Time Skip]] he joined Fairy Tail. He never believed that all the most powerful members of the guild were killed so he's back searching for what happened to them.}}
** {{spoiler|Confirmed in chapter 254. Say hello to Romeo, everybody.}}
Line 610:
 
== The time-skip will not take it's toll on Natsu and Friends. ==
Something really big happened in the [[Shounen]] medium with this ''7 years time-skip'', I mean what other manga in recent memory had a time-skip this long? Even big names such as [[One Piece]], [[Naruto]] and [[Bleach]] didn't dare to skip more than 2 to 3 years, it's a huge challenge for the writer, everything has to look all new: the characters, the setting, ''everything''. Seriously, in 7 years basically everyone but Wendy will be ''at least'' in their middle twenties, nothing to say about those who will probally be in their early thirties; my point is that modern [[Shounen]] just doesn't stick with ''adult'' characters as ''the'' Main Characters, I predict Mashima will [[Hand Wave]] Natsu and friends not growing up with something as wherever they may be, it's a [[Year Outside, Hour Inside]] for them, or if ''they do'' grow up, it will be something just for this arc and in the end some [[Time Travel]] or [[Alternate Universe]] shenaningan will happen.
 
That's just me being skeptical in vision to what modern [[Shounen]] seems to have turned out, though. In reality I do hope Natsu and Friends will come back [[Older and Wiser]], it sure would be a fresh breath in the middle of so many [[Shounen]] with a young main cast, it could step up to all time classics like [[DragonballDragon Ball]] (the Z part in particular) and [[Fist of the North Star]] with their adult cast.
* There are some more modern shonen with adult protagonists. Hell, [[Rurouni Kenshin|Kenshin]] is in his thirties for the whole series. [[Gurren Lagann|Simon]] is 21 after his [[Time Skip]]. It matters more how they act than their actual age (Kenshin is quirky, and Simon can still act like a [[Hot -Blooded]] teenager despite his age). Some of them will be more mature, but Natsu will just be an [[Adult Child]].
* Wow you got me with Simon, can't believe I forgot about [[Gurren Lagann]] for a second, but that's one of a kind though, [[Rurouni Kenshin]] is certainly not a modern [[Shounen]] as it started in 1994 and he was 27 for the whole run, he went 30 in the finale; I see modern [[Shounen]] as any work post the aforementioned big three ([[One Piece]], [[Naruto]] and [[Bleach]]). Anyway, I do see Natsu not really changing even as an adult, and here I am hoping the timeskip sticks for good.
* Confirmed in Chapter 255. {{spoiler|They haven't changed a bit thanks to Tenrou Island being in Mavis' Fairy Sphere.}}
Line 647:
 
== Gerard and Mystogan are Zeref clones ==
It makes some sense, it explains why they look the same and why they seem to possess such incredible magical powers.
 
== Gerard and Mistgun will fuse ala Kami+Piccolo style from [[Dragonball Z]] ==
Going from the previous entry, let's just say that Mystogan is the good side and Gerard is the evil side of the same soul. But now Gerard has lost his memory and potentially has an opportunity to redeem himself and stop being evil. Obviously, at some point later in the manga, there will be a much stronger opponent that no one can beat, and then they will fuse back into one body and powerup.
* Which of course means the Saiyans in this equation, the Dragon Slayers, will within an arc or two if not the arc in which they fuse, will surpass them. I mean, just look at Gajeel's hair style!
 
Line 656:
Related to the two "Dragon slayers become/are dragons" theories, and to the "Winged Cats really are dragons" theory. Wings are one thing that humans (or human-form dragons) can't develop, so a separate creature is created in egg form that later merges with the dragon slayer when they become a dragon. Gazille simply hasn't found his wings yet (or perhaps Iron Dragons don't get them).
 
== Unifying Theory: Dragons are Stellar Spirits whose children look like humans and must live in the human world until they [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]. ==
My proof: Natsu went through the Stellar Spirit world and came out unharmed- something which Lucy has stated ''should not be''. Only Stellar Spirits may reside in the Stellar Spirit world- humans going to their world is far more lethal than Stellar Spirits coming to ours. We can thus conclude that Dragon Slayers are either offered a measure of protection against the Stellar Plane, or, he ''is'' a Stellar Spirit. Possible proof for the latter: Natsu is the only one who understands what Plue, a Stellar Spirit, says.
* Jossed as of recent chapters, as most of the main cast made a trip to the spirit world and didn't suffer any ill effects, besides lost training time.
Line 697:
 
== Makarov will die at the end of the Exam arc ==
He's extremely old and has had major health problems for quite a long time now. Either Hades or the combined forces of the Seven Kin of Purgatory will be the ones to finish him, possibly in a [[You Shall Not Pass]] [[Obi -Wan Moment]]. Gildarts or Erza will lead the guild, while Laxus will settle his unfinished business with Ivan.
* It'll be Gildarts. Makarov flat out says that Erza's too young to lead the guild. Bonus points if they toss in a [[Time Skip]] and bring Laxus back as [[The Dragon]].
** That's if Gildarts wants to. If Makarov dies, he won't get to choose the next leader - they'll have to take that burden upon themselves. If no one else steps up to the plate, Erza will have to do it. Mirajane can be her [[The Dragon|dragon]]!
Line 731:
A lot of manga writers have gone on Twitter or other communication media after the massive earthquake in Japan to say that they're alright. Mashima has not. Sorry, but it needed to be said. And now that it has been, someone hurry up and [[Jossed|Joss]] it. Please!
* Unconfirmed, but word on the street says that he's alive, but injured.
* Apparently, he's participating in a charity doujinshi to help the victims of the tsunami. So, unless he's actually undead, this probably means he's alive. Thankfully.

== [[The Bad Guy Wins|Hades will win on the island.]] ==
We will then be treated to a much [[Darker and Edgier]] storyline in which the dark guilds curbstomp the New Council and proceeds to start a campaign of terror and Muggle killing. The surviving heroes, of course, will form [[La Résistance]] and be joined by Jellal and Hoteye, find a new leader in Gildartz or Luxus, form an epic stand of awesomeness against Hades, and somehow pull off a particularly crazy win. Perhaps involving [[Running Gag|property damage]]. Finally, as the dust settles, the [[Ungrateful Bastard|New Council's remnants]] will pop up to re-arrest Jellal and Hoteye, and Natsu will [[Kill It Withwith Fire|finally torch their asses.]]
 
[[Diabolus Ex Machina|And then Zeref]] [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It|will pop up from the rubble]] [[Downer Ending|and kill everyone.]]
 
* Jossed {{spoiler|for Hades is defeated}}
Line 770:
== Jellal is dead ==
He was executed during the time skip. He was facing either a lifetime sentence or the death penalty. No matter how messed up a criminal you're dealing with you don't put someone in a room too small for them to lie down in for the rest of their life. That was a temporary cell for criminals too dangerous to let live. He's dead.
* I doubt it, Jellal is related to many plot threads to just die off like that, hell, he wouldn't be such a [[Base Breaker]] if he didn't appear that much in story; the guy is a an [[Expy]] from [[Rave Master|Sieghart]], he is a fountain of [[Ship Teasing]] for Erza. I say he still is alive, in fact I would go as far as to say Jellal will become more important as the series goes on, Mashima uses him that much, [[Broken Base|much to his fans joy and his detractor's chagrin]].
** His being an Expy of Seighart {{spoiler|just suggests that he ''did'' die. Sieg dies before the end of [[Rave Master]].}}
** I pointed his likeness to Sieghart not because Jellal will never die, it's for comparison, Sieghart became a very important character after his debut, {{spoiler|and his death was ''way later'' in the story, and all there was to his character got developed through}}, and Jellal will follow suit in living for more volumes.
Line 781:
* Both Jossed. Gajeel is in the Games, but on the Fairy Tail B Team.
 
== Flare Corona will have a power similar to [[Soul Eater (Manga)|Chrona]] ==
In the first shot of the Midnight Commando, we see a sort of wolf-like thing just right to her. Maybe she can summon spirits or beasts from her body, like Chrona summons Ragnarok from his/her body.
* Jossed. Flare's magic involves [[Prehensile Hair]].
Line 798:
* Jossed: Pisces {{spoiler|is a two-bodied, Yin Yang like fish spirit who can use water}}, while Libra {{spoiler|looks like a sexy belly dancer with gravity powers.}}
