[Predictions] Fairy Tail Manga 322 Discussion and 323 Predictions

[Bloo]

Awesome chapter. Too bad Minerva's still alive. >_> <_<
Didn't see sting surrendering, especially since there was all that build up of the previous chapters.
But now the five fairy tail members aren't gonna be much help with all the bruises and injuries so that will leave sting to aid natsu in the up coming battle. I believe that's why hiro had him surrender and so he could develop his character more and im glad he's not the same guy he was when the games first started, i hated him then xD. Also sting will probably teach natsu how to unlock dragon force or something >_>

omg guys really. first of all stop crying and leave if you don't like it. nowadays I only see people coming in these threads to call the manga BS and cry for pages. it's really boring. so please, leave.

then second. character development doesn't only mean power up, but a growing in mature and such. both Sting and Rogue are developing as a "person" after every manga chapter. and not with small, but huge steps. they were introduced as evil, narrow-minded persons with a high amount of hunger for power and the desire to basically destroy Fairy Tail. they didn't know much about friendship and sadness, didn't know much about the feeling of lose, etc. now look at them once more and tell me they don't have charatcer development.................

I have as much of a right to complain about Fairy Tail as you do to praise it.

Just because you don't like hearing anything negative or anything critical about your beloved series doesn't mean I can't speak my thoughts on it.

What this series needs isn't more good guys, but more antagonists. How ****ing boring is it if every single bad guy in the entirety of the manga/anime eventually turns into someone good who helps Fairy Tail? It's ****ing predictable at this point and I'm honestly sick of it.

Rogue at least never came off as a truly bad guy. When Yukino was getting humiliated, he was the only one to think any different of it than the rest of his guild. So its not like he had any major development, but rather he was a pretty decent dude from the start. As for Sting, he shouldn't have developed as a good guy but rather as a solid antagonist. There was so much buildup with him throughout the arc. And yet all he's done this tournament was give up in the Chariot event, lose a 2v1 to Natsu, and give up yet again in a 1v5 that he could have at least made interesting. It feels cheap. All that hype, and the only thing that would have made this arc seriously interesting, and Hiro Mashima blows it and has Sting surrender.

For me, I say these things because I used to love Fairy Tail. This series had so much potential. Unfortunately it has fallen from grace.

You predicted that Sting would surrender? Apart from that, yeah it was kind of predictable.

I did remember reading a post that someone written about 2 or 3 weeks ago predicting that fairy beat all the other members. Then Sting would knee down and surrender and force Minerva to get back lector.

So the only part that was wrong was forcing Minerva to get back Lector. But I think I only saw one post saying this. So it is still pretty unexpected since most people did not predict it this way.

Overall, it seems like it is saying Fairy Tail is way stronger than all the other guilds since most of them fought about 2 strong members and all members of fairy tail is still standing. In a competition, they is like say that team is overwhelming. Hey, the other teams seems to have the strongest member in the team while fairy tail is still have gildarts, Natsu, and Miragane that are not here. So...

1vs 5 is still a hard battle for Sting. Erza might be easier for Sting to defeat after 2 hard battle, foot injury, used the 2nd origin, and the Nakagami armor. Juvia might be about the same difficulty as Erza following by Gray. So maybe Sting can defeat these 3 in the 1 vs 5 but probably can defeat them on a one to one fight. Laxus is heavily injured but should able to still fight pretty well. Gajeel only fought Rogue and consumed the shadow power. His injuries are the least out of the 5. That is not so easy for Sting to fight Laxus and Gajeel. Plus in 1 vs 5 battle, Juvia and Gray supporting Erza together will make even harder for Sting. Even if Sting have the power of feelings, but Fairy tail also does. It will end up like the fight with Hades which I don't think Sting is as powerful as Hades with his Grimoire heart.

Stay tuned for the next episode of Dragonball Z Fairy Tail



That FT won more or less, but that Sting would surrender just like that?

promotion, wd...red doesn't suit you lol

 

[GonFC]

I guess this is just a little win for Fairy Tail while the main ominous future is coming. That is where Fairy Tail lost to fate. Regardless of what the future Lucy, the current narrator, Levy who is more believable said that "... died. ...also died. and... and... My Dear... Also..." Hey these words are more scary then Fairy Tail losing in the tournament. Right?

Oh! I see that many people take the words of the people in fairy tail said too seriously. Like when they claim someone to be stronger than who. That is only a character's opinion and it is not a fact. The only fact is when the narrator state it, or after a battle. The opinion is not always true.

you have rights to express your thoughts, but this non-stop complaining is just plain stupid and useless. not to mention the way you do it. also if I don't like something, I at least HAVE some backbone not to ruin the other's mood by speaking shit about the show and flood uselessly in the thread.

also you don't know shit about me, so saying "your beloved series" just makes you seem more low than you were before. yes I like it, just as I do with countless others, but there's nothing like "beloved". so before you talk utter crap again, no... don't even talk instead.

about Rogue and Sting why wouldn't they turn good? there are 10k dragons coming, you have Minerva and his father, you have Zeref's magic, you have the other Lucy, how many antagonists you need? who would stop the dragons if not the dragon slayers? and how would they stop them if they are antagonists?

as a final, if you don't have anything constructive to say, don't even answer. I won't read it.

 

[Mr Scruffington]

Firstly Frozen, chill out yo. Nothing in here is personal whatsoever. People's interests and their personalities are two totally different things. I have no reason to be upset at you or think you're a bad person. >.<

also you don't know shit about me, so saying "your beloved series" just makes you seem more low than you were before. yes I like it, just as I do with countless others, but there's nothing like "beloved". so before you talk utter crap again, no... don't even talk instead.

Uh...well, maybe beloved is the wrong word. But you do like it, no? My only point is that you should be able to handle at least some criticism and some negativity. If you block out anything anyone has to say about a series you enjoy that isn't to your liking, you shut yourself off to a lot of things and have a very biased attitude. I try to look at everything critically and with an open-mind. Which is why I didn't dismiss the complaints about FT, but rather tried to understand them and see if what they said made sense.

about Rogue and Sting why wouldn't they turn good? there are 10k dragons coming, you have Minerva and his father, you have Zeref's magic, you have the other Lucy, how many antagonists you need? who would stop the dragons if not the dragon slayers? and how would they stop them if they are antagonists?

Why wouldn't they turn good? Sting, at least, was very much a cold, arrogant dude with murderous intent. So his personality wasn't good at all. It was actually very refreshing to see that in Fairy Tail, because you need something to balance out all the positivity and the constant nakama shit in the series. But of course, like every other character, FRIENDSHIP & FEELINGS turn him into a good guy and make him give up against Fairy Tail.

 

[~Yubel~]

I must say, i was enjoying the early part of the chapter especially with Sting, so let's see. He goes hidden the whole time, had a plan in mind, everything went according to plan and then he just surrenders when they're all injured and he could've taken them out? Come on!!
With all that build-up, i was atleast expecting a fight, i said i don't care for ft but this honestly pissed me off because it gave me that sliver of hope that maybe Sting would be the one to beat them all hence being the "impossible outcome" Future Lucy predicted but Hiro took a dump on that, even if Sting lost we atleast wanted to see a good fight, that's what a battle manga is about.
They had their win, celebrated etc but it would've been much better if Sting came out the winner then the 10.000 dragons come.

Well whoever made that prediction, kudos to them. =D

Personally I never expected Sting to surrender, I pictured Sting picking off all the Fairy Tail members one by one until the final FT member manages to defeat Sting.

see? you can do it if you want. I accept other's opinions and their criticism. I even understand them. but lately every FT prediction thread drips from pure hate and complaining. would you like your good mood being destroyed by these posts? I doubt it. if someone has a negative feeling toward a chapter, he can still express it in a more human way, without ruining others' mood and heck even start a normal conversation. but no people use vulgar words, flame with those who liked the chapter and generally ruin everything.

about Sting yes, he could remain that way, but he's still needed against the dragons, he had to change of heart. also this friendship & feelings stuff is present in a loooooooot of mangas/animes. the closest one here is Naruto. I don't have to explain it right?

Don't even compare it to other series, FT's friendship and feelings are the most overdone, most illogical and most anti-climatic concept that has ever been and they never lose which kills any excitement you could have for fights.
You atleast get a sense of struggle in other series, friendship and feelings motivate you, they inspire you, they don't give you the power to one-shot an opponent that was tossing you around a minute ago.

I don't hate them winning but give them a little fear, an obstacle, a bit of struggle, let us know they can lose, no life-lesson is ever learned by always winning, if this series is truly directed to children then Hiro is doing a bad job but then again, i don't see how these superficial fanservice characters would be for children, all guys got six-packs and all girls got curvy figures + Hiro showing them off.
Also, why do they need to win a fight after 1 chapter? Even against strong enemies, it doesn't make any sense, make it 3-4 chapters, include different situations where they need to think their way out of and get creative, make it more complex, don't have them get up saying a stupid line like "i saw through it!" or "i know all your habits"...go into more detail of how they figured out this supposed weakness. In no series does your feelings enable you to overpower anyone so don't undermine other series as it is insulting to even bring them up in a FT discussion.

The FT anime ended, you could say whatever you want about it but i take it as a sign, those anime producers had enough.

 

[Typhon]

To be honest I would have rather had Fairy Tail discover what was going on with Sting and Lector and then surrender to him 1 by 1. I think that would have been very Fairy Tail-esque and it would have been highly unpredictable.

And it would have been a good segway into Rogue and Sting joining Fairy Tail.

 

[Chaos.]

AAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA....I love this trolling!I love it!I just cracked myself up when sting surrendered like this!I wasnt expecting that at all!But yea i knew that somehow FT would win so...But yes this was certainly an amazing chapter!In some pages i was like :this is epic: and in some others i was bursting out with laughters like in the asspull armour's power...amazing,just amazing...so many feeling in this chapter!Fairy Tail is clearly a unique manga!

 

[Yveltal]

Fairy Tails did win in an "OUTRAGEOUS" fashion The outrageous part was meant for us XD

Have you ever been in a fight, I'm willing to bet not because most of us who read manga are real world escapers. I actually have and I gat into this last week because most of you are ignorant when it comes to fighting or fight-like competitions. I was a wrestler in high school and both our feelings of friendship as a team and in our own personal matches our own emotions have won both team matches and personal matches. In the team matches we were once losing halfway into the match, started at the weight class above me, lost all six of those matches and we were wrestling our rivals. The next five matches we won to tie up the match, all I had to do was out last and out score my opponent. In the middle of the third period down by two, with my team mates cheering for me, I score a reversal and put my opponent on his back. I only won because of my friends, I was overpowered and outmatched.
Now for personal feeling the more common, at my sectional qualifier I made the consolation semifinal and was going to wrestle some one who had beaten me twice before by one or two point both times. Now to prepare for the match I brought out all the feelings from losing to him twice before. When the match came I went out and pinned him in less than thirty seconds.
So you can't tell me that friendship and feeling can't win fights because they win just about as many as pure skill. It is the only real world logic that is brought into nakama plot driven mangas.

Fairy tail's main plot point is the power of friendship, so it will be more over done than for example one piece where the main plot point is luffy's journey to become the pirate king with the secondary is the power of friend ship. If you talk Naruto, it's major plot point is naruto's journey growing up and getting stronger so he can become hokage and be recognized by those who made him feel like an out cast, then it's secondary plot point is protecting the friendships you make no matter what

NOW, we finally get the festival FT fans deserve, especially the battle of the dragons hopefully... Natsu meeting Igneel seems ominent to me

make it this and that? why do you say it to me? I'm not Hiro you know... there are lot of things going on at the same time and everyone wants to see different things. Hiro most probably can't "waist" 3-4 chapters for 1 fight when he has to show the other 999 actions too. this arc's main plot are the dragons and the eclipse project, not the tournament and this arc is quite long now too and should be finished soon.

and yes I will compare it to other series. look at Luffy from OP. he gets beaten up every time and then suddenly gets a nakama power up and wins. look at Naruto who is always using the same tech, always got beaten up and then friendship power up. most overdone you say? no, I don't think so. every FT members got beaten up and barely won. it's not different from other shows. and believe me I saw plenty...

FT anime wasn't ended because they "had enough", but the mere fact they are close to the manga.

 

[~Yubel~]

Hiro is an ungrateful author playing with readers expectations through false hope.
Fairy tail is an insult to the readers intellect. This chapter gets a -100 out of 1 and i got nothing more to say.

 

[Noni]

Fairy tail Chapter 322 ?

do you guys think this was better then chapter 321?
in my opinion it was better but i got pissed that sting gave up so easily...
the ending i guess was deep though ...


P.S. did the fairy tail gang use haki to make sting go down that easy ? lol
