[Predictions] Fairy Tail Manga Chapter 374 Discussion and 375 Predictions

[Hori]

Didn't anyone else notice what Natsu was wearing...? Look's like something Zerfe would wear... Anyways if its Atlas Flame I'mma cry, seriously though that's a good guess, but I'm not sure... if that demon could absorb Dragons... then he could solo Igneel.

Its the only reason that can make me think that its how Atlas was defeated... 1st absorbed part of his soul and then Silver froze him... it can also explain why he thought Atlas was a demon

 

[Cosmicstars]

Chapter was okay. I liked the Unison raid and the ending. Do to Lucy's reaction I don't think it is Hades. Her reaction wasn't scared as surprised/Disgusted which means it has to be someone would never expect.

I think it is between Atlas Flame, Jude heartfilla and probably Hades.

 

[Akuma]

It could possibly be Hades, it feels like it. But I get the hint that this is somone FT admires, posibly Gildarts.

Silver is Gray's father ey.

Why gildart :nuts:

Btw nice avy

 

[Pure Logic]

It was all flamey..... but dark....
Hades or Atlas Flame?
Erigor? "The Wind Guy"

 

[itachi uchiha fiance]

i like action in it

 

[Caliburn]

I'm not expecting it to be Atlas Flame. He was already supposed to have been gone and when should Franmalth have gotten his hands on him? You also need to take into consideration whether it's possible for him to take over such huge creatures. Also Natsu already made the link between Silver and the frozen village, so assuming it's AF, why are they then that surprised?

Considering their reaction, it must have been someone who they really didn't expect, but is incredibly powerful. Hades is indeed an option. I personally thought first of Zancrow, however it's unlikely that he would have left such an impression on Natsu for him to react so surprised. Maybe it's Bleunote Stinger?

With all honesty, this is the first time I felt disappointed with an FT chapter.
I was all fired up last week upon seeing Mira on her ride or die facial expression.
I' d rather not vote for this week's poll

Stinger? Hum... One thing is certain: its someone they have met before, natsu that is, and that is powerful. Powerful enough for both to be gasped and for Franmalth considering it his most powerful soul. I still don't get it as being Hades. And for me its not a dragon, specially AF. When AF was being defeated and dispersed into nothing, Franmalth was in the cube. He wasn't around. So he wouldn't be able to absorb it. This assuming he has to be there and absorb something that is living. Perhaps one of the old council members? Or even Jose (though I dn't think natsu even saw him)?

 

[Caliburn]

And about Silver, well it was already speculated from the first time he appeared in the series that he might have a connection with Gray. The further this arc proceeded, the more it appeared that that really is the case. That the monk said 'You're Silver's...' doesn't really change anything. It just confirms again that there is a connection, but what the nature of that connection is, remains to be seen as this chapter doesn't change anything. I will demonstrate this with this picture:

At least we know he isn't gray himself ."gray is silver's. "

I always thought he had connection with gray not gray himself anyway.

That picture is so accurate i thought it was spoiler

Juvia reaction is something i am exited for . XD

Actually it could still be something like 'Gray is Silver's younger version' or something like that. Also it's a translation from Japanese, so focusing on a single letter of a translation of two unrelated languages doesn't always provide very accurate results.

Dont kill my hopes :T_T:

I hope he is not any shade of gray .

 

[Pure Logic]

Jose is also a good guess but from the panel of it... it didn't seem all that human-like... I wonder if its a soul of another Zeref's creation that he absorb like Lullaby? Also, I wonder why Natsu doesn't use Dragon Force more often? Dragon Force should be enough to take on Silver ice magic...I wonder if there's a connection between all the Dragon, God, and Demon Slayer Magics. Also I wonder when the top wizard saints will step in and help?

 

[Scorps]

The four gods of Ishval (the top 4 wizard saints) seem to be somewhat of an independent thing and do their own bidings. I don't see them interfering.

Jura and Makarov are proof that the wizard saints are simply an organization in terms of titles as they are still members of guilds and act more according to that than anything else. I think its just a name with no connection to a give role in anything.

Dragon Force is said to need vast quantities of magic consumption to use. Natsu has always used it under the effect of an external power up so its not that he hasn't used it its that the situations haven't allowed it.

 

[Pure Logic]

Well with all the hype of Natsu defeating the other two Dragon Slayers that were in Dragon Mode, without him using it makes me begin to wonder if he can use it when ever now or is there something special he needs to learn because he should have enough magic to power it. Also with Natsu using Flame-Lightning magic.... how the heck can he still use it at will now? I also wonder the connection between the Slayer Magic, and how one is imbued with Slayer Magic, and how does it affect Dragons, Demons and "Gods".

 

[Caliburn]

I once made an analysis about the three types of dragon slayers a long time ago. I consider the 2nd generation DS with lachrima 'safe bets', meaning they get automatically a large, stable source of power (what I mean with stable is a direct source of power that the user has without any kind of physical or emotional boost) and have to do very little for it.

3rd generation DS then are the same, only their stable power source has increased to a point they can even go into a controlled Dragon Force mode. The downside of both however is that that lachrima, who is the source of their stable power, at the same time limits their power so that it would not go out of control. It works both as a booster and a limiter. With other words the DF mode of Sting and Rogue are weaker than the ones Natsu has shown so far.

1st generation then are 'risky bets'. Their power is more unstable, it fluctuates more and requires more training to sustain it, but in return they have the highest potential and their max power is hard to measure. Natsu's DF mode was far more superior to Sting and Rogue's as it didn't had any limiter, I doubt however that Natsu can just toggle it on and off like the other two. Remember that DS magic is fueled by emotions, while the other 2 generations tap mostly out of lachrima, the 1st generation taps out of their emotions and even then it's very fickle as Natsu had to eat the Flame of Rebuke and Etherion matter to unleash it. When those emotions reach a boiling point, they probably enable the DF mode instinctively and automatically.

So it's choosing between betting on a champion horse, but getting little money in return or betting on a dark horse, much more risky but you get much more in return if it wins. Quantitively seen is Natsu's DF better than those of Sting and Rogue, however the latter two can activate easier.

Well that's just how I see it.

 

[Sjhsgjhsgjshjshjsh]

^above^

That make sense . I wont call it a theory .

 

[Pure Logic]

It does make sense, I just wonder how one "First Gen" is imbued with it. I know the Dragons did it, but what are the requirements. Also with the different slayer magics, I wonder about the "God" Slayers and how they got there powers... was it from the Ishval?

I don't think there is any particular requirement needed other than finding a dragon who is willing to teach it to you. How that exactly happens we can't possibly know and we might never know, but I think that's of little importance. This magic transforms your body to that of the constitution of a dragon. That Acnologia eventually even transformed into one, indicates that it's better to consider dragon slayers dragons in human form and that the name 'dragon slayer' is just artificial. In reality it are real dragon flames Natsu uses. They call it dragon slaying magic because it's the only magic humans have to injure dragons. However only dragons themselves have the knowledge to teach it to people.

Hiro confirmed somewhere that Sheila of Lamia Scale simply learned her magic from a book. As Urtear learned her time arc magic likewise from a book, it's very well possible that Zancrow learned his magic from a book too. I once theorized that god slaying magic was in fact derived from dragon slaying magic. So it's an artificially created magic as an alternative for DS magic so that they wouldn't have to depend on dragons so much. They just called it god slaying magic because it's so powerful, however I sincerely doubt it has any kind of involvement with any kind of god. This is something Natsu mocked when he fought Zancrow, that there was no god involved in Zancrow learning his magic, but that Natsu really learned from a dragon. I also doubt it has any kind of connection with the Four Gods of Ishval. That's nothing more than a name for the 4 strongest wizards of the 10 Wizard Saints. Also god slaying magic is lost magic, meaning it's several centuries old. Unless the 4GOI have been living that long (Warrod's appearance pretty much contradicts that), they have no connection to the origin of god slaying magic. The term 'god' was just used in both cases to accentuate how strong those 4 are and how strong that magic is.
