[Predictions] Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 457 Discussion and 458 Predictions

[Caliburn]

This pretty much the end of the theory that there's a connection between Visca and Brandish. I hardly doubt she would be related to both Lucy and Visca. Would have rather had that it was Visca though.

Where did Brandish get those car ears from?

I'm more intrigued about how Brandish got out of the house casually while shrinking and was able to put on her clothes at the same time when Lucy had to ran nude.

No way Ajeel lost there. He is a Spriggan 12 after all, if they can lose on a single moment of weakness they won't amount to much trouble. Not the best chapter, we know Brandish knew Lucy's mother but it's been 3 chapters focused on the same people.

The focus has been on Erza vs Azir, Gajeel, Natsu, Wendy etc. vs Azir Squad, Lucy vs Brandish (more or less), Visca, Gray, Juvia, Mira, Elfman and several others. You give the impression that that somehow is little.

I am seeing tumblr'ers saying Dimaria is Layla.....smh.

So we are getting another Spin off from November issue?. I guess what will it be about?.

 

[Gintõki1]

Not bad chapter.

The fanservice wasn't overdone as few people were crying about it last chapter..
Brandish is too kawaii with those faces. xD Most of us knew it would have something to do with Lucy's mom and i can't wait to finally know more about her.

Nice to see Lucy saving Erza's ass by crushing that idiot so she can use her Magic again. Nice one lol!
Ajeel isn't down and i can't wait for a great fight, go Hiro.

Natsu punching that moron to the Moon was awesome and hilarious.

 

[Solidus Solidus Solidus]

This one was boring T_T
Did Erza just land a hit on my fav spriggan?

 

[Tobi98]

Erza one shotting Ajeel...

Literal cancer tbh

 

[A v i]

Seems like Erza's BS armor is working fine.

 

[fiend]

What if Brandish is actually a celestial spirit?

We are getting a new spinoff.

Nooooo it was the time and space dude that lady brandish shrunk. He controls all space. That's why when he was squished by Lucy erzas requipes started working again. Do you guys remember when he first appeared and was disrupting Lucy's gates and the guy who could teleport because it had something to do with space. But he's unconscious Now

Damn
You beat me to it.. :|

Yeah, Marin the guy lucy squished I guess still disrupted their magic.. and to be very honest, only cause of plot he got defeated because he was extremely HAX its crazy

 

[Skull Knight]

4/5. it was good chapter.
i still think Laxus should fight ajeel.erza should fight someone else.
i hope Brandish magic do not work on Lucy's celestial spirit, that way we can learn more about lucy's mum.
natsu one shot that guy was awesome

 

[Hexuze]

MS is out and I updated the OP.

 

[Relostar Devil]

So called springann who are zerefs main soldiers will get same ass kicks as ajeel from main FT members and still natsu and team will have enough power left to beat main villians. Seriously, Mashima needs to change his battle patterns.

 

[Lord Tywin]

Asspull queen Erza is back.

 

[milkydean]

Good chapter, erza vs azir, well i dont expect azir to go down yet, i want a fully and well choreographed fight between them ,something like erza vs azuma which was erza's best fight imo.Lucy trying to stab brandish from back, woah that caught me offguard.And finally layla and brandish's connection, which made me interested.Layla has been quite a mystery for a while.

 

[Love Cook]

Such a weird set-up and I don't feel like it helped the story in any way.

So these Sprigan 12 were these so called monsters and now a Cana/Lucy team is going to defeat one ? With the hype they were given it even would be a stretch for Natsu, Erza, Gajeel and Gray. And they would most likely be more in the Gildarts, Jellal range. But now team bimbo is going to take one on ?

Also I don't get Natsu's tactics. He doesn't want to use all his power so he let's himself get hit a few times and has some trouble taking his opponent down on 10%. Then he is finally down, but played dead. And then he decides to one punch him.

If he was being that efficient, wouldn't it be easier to not get yourself slapped and one punch that guy from the start ?

These fights are missing something and I don't know what it is.

The focus is on the Erza, Natsu, Gajeel and Lucy (and their correspondent opponents). A character getting 2 panels worth of screen time is not focus.

i liked your theory.
Brandish may be lucy's mum celestial spirit.

 

[Caliburn]

What you describe isn't focus either then. "He's focusing on one, two, three, four etc. characters on one, two, three locations", that sounds like Hiro is really limiting himself =/

Several chapters around only one or two characters, that's focus. If you are go to start saying things like that below a certain number of panels it isn't focus anymore, by consistent about it as then having that many characters appear, he clearly is focusing on quite a lot of people.

 

[Wizard_Impressive]

Finally we get info on Layla I've been waiting for this since the first episode!

 

[Kamui Sama]

Brandish is the best character revealed this arc

 

[Tobi98]

For the people saying "Ajeel is much weaker than the other 12"

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

The only 1 who has been portrayed as stronger than the others is August

So yeah Erza in 1 year legit passed from being weaker than Jura to beating (or at least being equal to) someone who can rival the strongest mage in Ishgar who was supposed to be way stronger than Jura :')
