[Predictions] Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 397 Discussion and 398 Predictions

[Killua Zoldyck]

Really liked Gajeel's Steel Power Up, and the Flashback they gave. I'm just hoping next chapter we see Wendy come back and ready to fight.

QUESTION: Does this mean Fairy Tail Chapters will always be released on Monday now instead of Friday?

Of course not, the scans where just late to come in this time around.

Awesome chapter, but Gajeel is not keeping his Steel, its kinda like his DF. He needs to have a good amount of Carbon to use it.

Gajeel doing damage. That whole under water scene reminded me of when Bee fought Kisame.
Good fight though.
Isnt that toxin extremely deadly though? Look what it did to Laxus. I think Natsu is out for the count.

I'm not really convinced that this was about scans being received too late, but rather again the concept of having one chapter for two weeks, but instead of simply skipping a complete edition and then continue with the regular schedule, they release it right in the middle of those two weeks.

And I believe he will keep it. Not necessarily as something that's permanent active, like that now all his attacks are steel instead of iron, but that it's an ability he can activate for a certain time. I have been wondering for a while now that if Igneel is the Dragon King of the Flame Dragons, than Metallicana should be the Dragon King of the Earth or Metal Dragons. Metallicana doesn't appear to have an iron skin either, but more something in the nature of steel or even titanium.

With Laxus the poison was airborn, he breathed it in. Normally airborn is more dangerous. Also Natsu has a habit of eating things that he's not supposed to eat. Finally I still can't really shake off the feeling that 1st generation dragon slayers are still quite different than 2nd generation dragon slayers.

It was a really nice chapter, but I'm not really bothered about Gajeel. I guess having Natsu kick ass all the time would get boring eventually so with Gajeel having his moment will make it even sweeter when Natsu does his thing.

I've been thinking about this as well. I think that there is also something to consider: where does Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel come from? Even as dragon slayers, they all are perfectly fitted to each of their dragons. I don't think thats a coincidence. They are special in their own way and they seem to be the only ones to be pure dragon slayers, with all others having been tainted by lacrima or created by it. They seem to be the only ones who treat their dragons as parents, something that Rogue and Sting don't. Rogue and sting also seem weird when compared with their dragons. They aren't...exactly like them for the little we've seen and know of them.

I think Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy are different from Dragon Slayers in general and mainly because their dragons weren't, for me, your normal dragons. With this invasion we saw that Mothergea and the Jade Dragon....and the others... They weren't as amazingly powerful in terms of their abilities as Metalicana, Igneel and Grandine. We now know that Igneel is special amongst all Dragons. He was the King of Dragons. The king that was ruling the dragons until they disappeared and that was unable to defeat END. Igneel is special, thats a given. Now, Grandine and Igneel spoke as if they were "close" or something so we can assume they have some special relation. Its not a stretch to think that perhaps the 3 of them were the ultimate dragon leaders of their race, Igneel, Metalicana and Grandine.

This said, I don't think its a case of several individual dragon kings per type but rather that Igneel was called Flame Dragon King as Acnologia was called Dark Dragon King. A...epitome? Dunno the right word.

I'm still curious to know what happened to make Acnologia roam the world not doing anything. I mean, Igneel was at some point the Dragon King and so was Acnologia. Future Rogue said that Acnologia rose, sometime in the future, to rule the world again. Something ended its role in the past and somehow it stayed idle all these years. Then something happened and all Dragons disappear. Then Acnologia appears once again. And we now know that in the future, it tries to rule the world. And suceeds. That whole part of the story interests me plenty still. And I can't wait for this arc of random fighting to end and some more clues to be given to us. I like the fighting but I'm enjoying more the plot.

The mods are prophets or what O_O
It can be possible

Someone should start to keep track of how many times an enemy gave the protagonist a power up during a battle in FT.

Natsu eating Lachrima vs Jellal in the tower
Natsu eating god flames
Gajeel with the shadow mode vs Rogue
Gajeel in the water in this chapter

These are just on the top of my head, it´s getting a bit old now. Always the struggle and the lifeline.

 

[The Sach]

It was good chapter nonetheless and powerup did made sense.lol
