[Discussion] The Spriggan 12

[Caliburn]

Now with Irene Belserion being introduced in the latest chapter, there's only one Spriggan a complete mystery. These are the ones we know so far:

Spoiler

August:

Considered the be strongest male as the overall strongest of the group.​

Irene/Eileen Belserion:

Considered to be the strongest woman of them all and presumably family of Erza Scarlett.​

Invel/Inber:

His skills are still a mystery other than that he's an ice mage. He serves as Zeref's right hand man and thus is most likely even amongst the Spriggan very powerful. In the beginning it was also speculated he might be Ul's husband and Ultear's father.​

Bradman/Badman/Bloodman:

There's some confusion due to his name as it has been translated differently several times. It's also possible that in the manga itself once a mistake was made in regards to who he was exactly or that the translators screwed up during the translation. Either way there is little doubt now who he is supposed to be; he's the guy who was beating Sabertooth and was referred to as being a grim reaper. He might have been the one who nailed them all to a cross and the most acceptable assumption now is that he uses some kind of blood magic.​

Unknown:

There are 12 Spriggans, so we are still one short.​

Serena:

The strongest mage of Ishgar who defected to the Alvarez Empire. He has got 8 different dragon lachryma in his body, but got one shotted by Acnologia even before he used half of them.​

Brandish μ:

A female mage that has a history with Lucy. She never got really beaten, but still got captured. At this point it seems she's starting to go over to FT's side or in the least take a neutral stance. She was never that pumped up to begin with. She can manipulate the mass of things.​

Dimaria Yasta:

She's a descendant of the people of Mildian, which is a reference to Hiro's previous series Rave Master. There it's a special village populated by mages who guard the flow of time and who can be recognized by having strange patterns on their faces. Sieghart was their most prominent member and his character got recycled in the Fairy Tail series as Jellal, hence that symbol on his face. Dimaria can freeze time and take over the soul of Chronos, the god of time. She got beaten by Shelia, Wendy and Ultear.​

Wahl Icht:

He's a mecha, though it's not clear whether he was a human that got turned into a mecha or that he always was one. He uses alchemy magic that allows him to transform substances in practically any kind of missile or firearm. On top of that he can create other mecha's that can counter many other types of magic. He got beaten by Laxus.​

Neinhart:

Some snobby knight wannabe. He can read people's memories and create duplicates of the people in the memories who have died and who can use the exact same magic as the original one. He got disposed of quickly by Jellal, Erza and Kagura.​

Jacob Lessio:

AKA Jason Statham. Jacob's an assassin who uses some dimension-type magic. He was beaten by Lucy, Natsu and Makarov.​

Ajeel/Azir Ramal:

A cocky warmongering fighter that itches to pick a fight with anyone. He uses sand magic. He got beaten by Erza and Visca.​

So up to this point 6 Spriggan's have effectively been beaten while 6 are still at full strength. Now the title of the next chapter is the "Monstrous Six" which can indicate that the last 6 are in another league than the first 6. This however is open to quite subjective interpretations. You can easily form reasons as why August, Irene, Invel, Bradman and the unknown Spriggan to be amongst the 6 strongest ones and why Whal, Azir, Jacob and Neinhart are among the lesser ones. These 4 have already been beaten and their magic was strong, but still not what I could consider monstrous. So then you got three special cases remaining.

Serena. He had quite the hype, amongst others because he defected without stating a reason and that the was the strongest mage of Ishgar on top of being a hybrid dragon slayer. He's someone I could easily label as being a monster, but yeah he got done in by Acnologia in a flash. However because there are so many loose ends with him, I can't imagine him being out of the game.

Dimaria. Because she got beaten alongside Whal, Neinhart, Azir and Jacob, it would be the most logical to think she was a lesser Spriggan. However unlike the others her magic was truly terrifying. If it wasn't for Ultear, Wendy and Shelia would have been done for.

Brandish. She still hasn't been beaten and thus made it to the 6 remaining Spriggan, however she got taken prisoner because of hay fever and has since then familiarized herself with FT. So at this point I find it hard to imagine her as being a part of the Monstrous 6.


And then in regards to the last unknown Spriggan, we do have a silhouette:

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

Now there are only 11 silhouettes, however Brandish is the one who is thinking about them, so she likely did not include herself, there is also no one who looks like her.

At the center in front you can clearly recognize Azir (labelled with number 5), behind him August (labelled with number 6) and left of him Dimaria (labelled with number 4). All the way on the left it's definitely Serena (labelled with number 1) and all the way on the right in front Inbel (labelled with number 8).

These 6 are nearly a 100% certain, the other 6 are more debatable.

I'm fairly certain that Irene is the one right of Azir and August because of the long strands that are connected with the silhouette (here labelled with number 7). Irene has long braids on top of wearing a headdress with long strands. Only problem is that her cloths seems to have quite a volume in the latest chapter while here it looks rather flat, so it's possible she can also be number 2.

Whal is problematic because he had a proxy that looked completely different from him. His proxy could easily be the large guy behind Inbel (labelled with number 9), in particular because the proxy had that weird pointy antenna on his head. His real body however resembles mostly the silhouette directly right of Serena (here labelled with a question mark). I personally believe the latter option is the correct one because his cloths are quite slim and even tight-fitting. His normal hair is also quite messy and stands up.

Bradman is quite huge, so there are only two possibilities. Or he is the one all the way on the right in the back (labelled with number 9) or he is the one all the way on the left in the back (labelled with number 2). Personally I think it's the former.

Neinhart and Jacob are the most problematic ones as none of the silhouettes fit either of them. The ones that that come the closest are the ones between Dimaria and who I consider Whal (labelled with number 3) and between the latter and Serena (labelled with number 2). Number two seems to rather fit Jacob the most because of the shoes, trousers and the shape of the head, he however seems to have some kind of short wings on him. That would leave number 3 for Neinhart, however there is something weird around the place where the head's supposed to be, something Neinhart doesn't have. I assume that Hiro made some adjustments after these silhouettes already appeared as what Neinhart does have, is a quite prominent and frilly collar that turned outward similar to the silhouette. It's possible Hiro originally made the collar to be much more prominent and larger, but trimmed down on it afterwards.

So that leaves only one silhouette remaining: the one between Inbel and the one I consider to be Irene (labelled also with a question mark). This silhouette doesn't even remotely conform with anyone of the Spriggan. Hence this one has the highest possible chance of being the nameless Spriggan. I also would say it's a woman and the cloths remind me of Gajeel's standard getup and a similar case for her hair. That ponytail with spiky hair reminds me of Gajeel when he had a ponytail at the celebratory feasts after the Grand Magic Games. So she might be connected to him.

12th Spriggan

Take a look at this pic carefully and note that silhouette

Doesn't it look familiar? I think we already have a clue about the 12th spriggan.....have a look at this

Now compare the two....it might seem a liitle far fetched but i am sure that there is a genuine connection between the two.......Obra is the 12th spriggan or is related to him.........

 

[milkydean]

I was about to make a thread on spriggan 12.According to me
August and Irene are gonna be the best spriggan, but Invel might give them a run for money too.I also liked Serena and imo he was the most potential sprigga.Betrayed his own nation and was a Ds with 8 Lacrymas.He would have made the best spriggan if he was alive.Also he was the only one that defeated his opponent without breaking a sweat.Bradman possibly did too but there are chances that all the 3 spriggans ganged up on Northern team and hence there overwhelming defeat.I mean if all the spriggans had ganged upon on south they would have wiped the floors too.

If I have rank these spriggans in terms of strength then it will something like this

1)August(hype)
2)God Serena(possible dual elements,DF)
3)Lady Irene
4)Dimaria/Wahl(Time stop,Etherion)
5)Azir/Jacob
6)Ninehart(situational powers)

I have not ranked Brandish since she have not fought yet.Similarly Bradman,Invel,and Unknown spriggan is left out.

Ranking the good side who fought against spriggan
Natsu(FDKM)
Jellal
Laxus
3rd origin Sheria/Erza

Gajeel and Gray will move up there after they fight their opponents.

Re: 12th Spriggan

Could be.

 

[Memento Mori]

I love the way how you defined Jason Statham, Snobby Knight Wannabe. lol. xD.

That Image from Spriggan 12 you gave is small size. Not clear. I re-labelled in the same order. Change it if you liked.

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

Seems like Mashima changed some designs of the Spriggan 12. A two or three.

I will start with the order in that pic.

1. God Serena - The silhouette represents him for sure. There is not much a change or hardly any change. I agree with what you all said about Serena. He is strong for sure and I feel like Mashima is saving him for the final fight against Acnologia. He not done for sure. I can at least say that. He has 8 different types of Dragon Slaying Magic. All of the three types he showed to us are all different and versatile in nature. So it is not far from off to say 'one of which can have the ability of regeneration'. So he can be back into the play again. And also it is not like Mashima to kill a character with out showing his skills. There is always a chance. He has yet to explain his reasons for deserting the Ishgar. And let us not forget about the all-hinting Mashima did when Acnologia made an appearance to kill him. So, there is more it than what it just appears to be.

2. Irene Belserion - Yeah. I do go with Irene for the labelled no.2. The cape seems like the deciding factor here. She has the big cape. Though the depiction of staff is impossible see from the silhouette of 2, I consider it hidden somewhere there. Where as in Silhouette 7, the cape is not as big and the Staff is nowwhere seen. So I do go with no. 2 for Irene Belserion. Correct me if I am wrong. And for the relationship status with Erza......we had a lot discussed in the chapter discussion thread. So, I will still stick to her being the Momma of Erza. No Sibling or whatsoever. We have had enough siblings in the manga so far eventhough Mashima sensei once said he planned a lot of Sibling relationships in the manga. But that is a word of long gone. So, I don't consider. Irene being Momma would be more effective than her being Sister. As for Looking young and Old....magic all the way.

3 & 7. These two are confusing tbvh. It seems like Mashima changed the designs of these two spriggans. As for no. 3 is concerned, it looks like a Lady. So, maybe a Lady who became a Jacob. lol. And the 7th one can be relate to Irene but only to a lesser extent. She has no big cape and no staff in her hand. So it do better be not Irene. So, this 7th one is another design change most-likely. Maybe 7th one became a Bradman later^^.

4. Dimaria Yesta - There is no doubt on this for me. It is Dimaria for sure. Her time magic is strong tho. Like you said only a another time-dimension user can defeat her. I wonder would August has to counter to Dimaria's magic. Also does Dimaria's God Takeover confirmed God's existence?. Not saying the real entity itself but just a presence or whatsoever!.

5. Ajeel Rommul - He is for sure. I hope he will be back. His sand magic is good to see. Sand world. I like that magic tech. We haven't seen him defeated or fell down. All we saw is he got hit by Erza's and Bisca's attacks. And all of sudden Erza is raining down after the fight without letting us know the whereabouts of Ajeel. And also Zeref mentioned that Ajeel wasn't dead.

6. August - He is the one of the two Strongest in the group. Supposed Mage-king who might be about to fight Natsu in next few chapters. I don't think August is strong among the group. I want to read what CR translates the Brandish talk about August and Irene. Whether August is strong among all the 12 or he strong along with Irene. Maybe feats might be the only way to say who is strong. And if not asking too much I also want to know about the 'surname' of August. From few hours back, I am hoping something along August Clive to happen. Yeah, I am optimistic. hmmm..Maybe too much!.

8. Inbel - It is inbel most likely. We knew nothing about him. And yeah I agree with what you said about Inbel. Maybe a father of Ultear or something. Since Ur is back in last two chapters......maybe that is Mashima's way of reminding us something.

9. Wall Eehto - The silhouette is Wall Eehto's robotic form. But Ironically, the supposed real body which was introduced in later chapter is also a Robot all along. It looks like the Wall Eehto, we saw till now(the first fat robot & slim robot) are just robots. And it is that cat on his shoulder who is controlling them from somewhere. It is hard to imagine a robot is a member of Spriggan 12. I am awaiting a big surprise for us in upcoming chapters about that cat and this Robot. Mashima pretty much had it foreshadowed well enough.

10. Brandish - Obvious one lol. Now that here mystery and backstory are cleared up. She became someone who FT can trust. Rather than just being neutral in the war, I would like it if she participate in the war. Ofcourse along with FT. Maybe if she go along with Natsu, Lucy, happy to fight August. Or she might go to fight Irene.

11. Neinhart - The one infront of 1,2,3 labelled spriggans or the left side question(?) mark spriggan. I do go for Neinhart. Remember, back in chapter when Makarov is telling us about the Spriggans.....he also mentioned Neinhart name. At that time we saw a slight silhouette of Neinhart. If you compare this one and that one looks same. So, I go with Neinhart. It is Neinhart albeit with a slight design change.

12. Nameless Spriggan - The one with Pony-Tail. She might be the last spriggan. She is a Lady that is for sure. And also @caliburn what is that relation you are talking about with this spriggan. Sorry I didn't get it. In GMG arc?.

 

[Jin]

I kinda feel like #9 isn't Bradman. Bradman's cape or armor(w/e that was) seemed to have been made of some rough material and had some curves. And he didn't have that weird looking think on his shoulder.
I think it's possible that the "thing" in his shoulder may be an Exceed. Looks like one tbh, and it seems like it's looking on the left (profile pose) .
On the other hand, it might also be Wahl (fat robotic form) and that think on his shoulder might be the extension of his scarf.
Idk how accurate these drawings are in accordance with the actual appearances, but they don't seem like they're that much accurate.
Nice thread btw.

Merged this into my thread as I find it rather stupid to have a thread about this posted immediately after I made this thread which covers the same topic.

Anyway I also considered the possibility that that small silhouette could be the critter, but I discarded it as even if that would be the critter, the person itself would still be a mystery as that silhouette doesn't look like Obra's and we already knew how Obra looked like long before Hiro showed us this picture. Pretty sure Obra was also not a living existence, but merely some kind of doll controlled by the critter.

I recently bought a new laptop and since then pictures directly taken from wiki's remain in their thumbnail format. I thought it might just be me and that it works for other people, but apparently not. Either way if you open the picture in a separate tab, you will see it in fullsize.


Personally still prefer number 7 as Irene. I mean 7 is definitely a woman, just looks at the hips and the waste. That's not a man. I did consider the possibility though that those short wing-like things behind number 3, the one I think is Jacob, was in fact a magic staff of another character, possibly number 2. The reason why I still prefer number 7 is because there is no other Spriggan that even comes close to that silhouette other than her.

And I think by now it's clear that "gods" are similar existences to demons, dragons and stellar spirits.

Also I'm pretty sure Azir is down for the count. He is not dead, but I think none of them are. However it's unlikely they will keep playing a role until this plot line is over.

My point about the GMG was that at the end there was a feast in the palace where everyone was dressed up for. Gajeel made a pony tail, however he has quite heavy hair, so his pony tail became quite spiky similar to this silhouette. I thought there might have been a connection, but I just came to the realization that Gajeel is in fact 400 years old and got transported from the past to the present, so that should be impossible, so you can disregarded the whole Gajeel thing.

I kinda feel like #9 isn't Bradman. Bradman's cape or armor(w/e that was) seemed to have been made of some rough material and had some curves. And he didn't have that weird looking think on his shoulder.
I think it's possible that the "thing" in his shoulder may be an Exceed. Looks like one tbh, and it seems like it's looking on the left (profile pose) .

Idk how accurate these drawings are in accordance with the actual appearances, but they don't seem like they're that much accurate.
Nice thread btw.

The drawing should overall be pretty accurate as it was shown when Brandish was introduced on Caracroll Island when Erza, Natsu and the others were on their way to save Makarov. So that Hiro wouldn't have a clear image of the Spriggan 12 at that point in the story is impossible. The fact that he seems to have altered some things in the meantime I already find surprising, however those changes should be limited, likely only the cloths on some characters. For example August has a staff, but the staff he has in this picture and the one he has when he was first shown, don't really match. So I think Hiro hadn't completely made up his mind yet as to how he wanted them to be dressed.

And as I mentioned above I considered the possibility that it might be the black critter, but in the end I just went for that that is a protrusion of his armor. It seems irregular because his other shoulder is covered by a text balloon. The reason I prefer the other guy as Whal above this one, is that that one can't be anyone else but Whal and the silhouette of number 9 doesn't, other than that antenna on his head, look much like the proxy. It's too wide for that.

Yeah. I did that to see the numbers on the silhouette. And that is how I numbered them in a big pic I gave you.

I had to google critter(?) to see what is it!. LOL. I still think that Critter(cat) is the one who controlled Wall Eehto. We also saw that cat is close to Zeref or Zeref's pet after GMG arc in Mavis & Zeref interaction.

Yeah I get it. No. 7 can be Irene too. I noticed the hips and waist-line too. But No. 2 felts like Irene because of the Cape. Not saying no. 7 doesn't have any cape around but a lesser one. So, that is why I said Mashima might have changed the no. 7 into Bradman or something.

Yep. But still there is a mystery around 'God Ankhseram'. Heck....there is a lot we have yet to know about what happened in the First Dragon King Festival 400 years ago. Maybe everything is around Acnologia.

Actually I am hoping for the last spriggan to be Jose Porla. It's been more than 8 years in FT timeline. He could have joined the Albareth empire by any chance. Kinda like that!. Actually that would open a plot for Gajeel Redfox in his fight rather than just a normal spriggan fight.

And also about.....God Serena, I don't think anyone knew the full extent of God Serena's magic power. August, himself said that they barely get anything to see about Serena's strength. So by default no one should have known the full extent of God Serena's power. So, I wouldn't be surprised at the end of this arc he ends up being the strongest spriggan. Seems like there is a lot of mystery around him too.

And let us not forget....he defeated the three GOI & Jura rather easily. It is not that Hyperion, Jura, Warrod, Wolfheim are weak. It is just that God Serena is too strong for them to take down. I think this is the case.

And one more thought.....In a chapter of Zeref & Makarov talk>> Zeref told that an unnamed spriggan initiated war on Ishgar 10 years ago. We have yet to see who is that unknown spriggan. So far from the ones we saw till now.....I will lean towards Ajeel Rommul. He looks like one.

I am reposting this here too since..... I feel like this is the thread to talk.

CR translation words it different(a bit) what Brandish said. Since it is official, it do be better if we go by this.

Spoiler

It feels like both Irene and August are equally strong. They both were called as strongest among the Spriggan 12. While August is the Strongest Male and Irene is the Strongest Female.

Her Official Trans. is Irene Belserion.

Aside from few of my friends in tumblr.....You are the most knowledge-able person in FT fandom I have seen. Maybe that is why as much as I hate this section because of the trolls here....I still come here.

 

[Caliburn]

So the last Spriggan's name is Rahkeid and it's pretty certain he's a man. His silhouette in the latest chapter doesn't look at all like the silhouette between numbers 7 and 8, but it's possible he's in fact number 2. Number 2's silhouette has two portrusions at the top and Rahkeid is in this chapter wearing some weird weapon or object on his back and if you would look at it from a different angle, the shape of the weapon could be similar to the silhouette of the protrusions.
