Nothing new this week. Future Lucy stinks...we all had noticed it. Either she's lying or she's a Fake. I'm point more to the former. She isn't Lucy. My theory is that its someone impersonating Lucy. And I'll explain why... I had like a flashback today and an idea formed in my mind.
Dragons can't be in the normal world. If they were, someone would have stumbled across them. Its not like a whole species of gigantic magical flying lizards can hide in plain sight. So, they are somewhere else. My thoughts? The Celestial Realm. Where the spirits come from. The Eclipse Gate is what will bring them to this dimension/realm. The Eclipse gate is not the salvation but the path through which dragons will return. The future lucy is either a mage in disguise, a puppet made by magic or something else. The purpose of her role is clear: get people to make the gate, charge it up with magic and in the special time, opening it. I mean, its a gate to the celestial world... How can that defend against 10k dragons or do much to prevent the catastrophe that she says is coming? Build a weapon, ok. But a gate using the celestial keys? doesn't add up. And this inconsistencies in her statements make me be certain she isn't a lucy but a fake. I'd return to my idea of it being Zeref in disguise but Zeref never saw Lucy and never had any contact with lucy so why would he disguise as her? Still, Eclipse gate will be used to bring the dragons back...not to save anyone. Its possible that future lucy can even be a dragon left behind to ensure that one day dragons could return if acnologia made its appaerance or something of that type.
Basically, I never understood how the eclipse gate can be used to save the world/town and now that we know its against 10k dragons (supposedly, because if they were brought to the brink of extinction by humans during the war...weird that 10k still exist...anywho) and that lucy future lucy is inconsistent... it makes even less sense that a salvation can come from a gate which we still don't know what it does apart from the need to use the celestial keys. These are key that open celestial gates through which spirits come...so...12 means either a bigger door or a bigger spirit used by the 12 together...but this later option doesn't make sense when we already met the ubber spirit and such. So, yeah...rambling now.
Its clear that mister shadow dragon slayer is being manipulated. The use of an alternate conscience inside a character is not much something we associate with FT. And in him would have little point. Will he join FT? I think that he and whity will probably consider joining but i see them more as making their own guild rather than joining FT.
