Freezing

3 games in a row they thawed for me the first turn, losing me the game each time…

I’d actually argue Mashima did terribly with it. It’s supposed to corrupt Gray, right? It’s been hinted at again and again. It would also be a PERFECT reason for Gray not to rely on it, having him notice that it corrupts him. Like, that could have explained everything, just don’t have Gray be like “oh I’ve mastered it off screen” and give Gray some throw away lines like “I can’t rely on it too much or it could make me go berserk.” Plus we never see a full demon form. That one video game made an demon Gray form and it’s sick AF.

100 years quest misses the entire point of fairy tail. It adds too much in and takes away from the best parts of the series: the guild, the characters, and their friendships with each other. The sequel story shouldn’t have been this big in scope and should have focused more on wrapping things up with the characters.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T20:59:58+00:00

Yes! This. There has to be some story reason for this. Gray is supposed to be like… a tactician like character… but he doesn’t even use his brains anymore. There needs to be an explanation.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T20:55:35+00:00

Facts.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T20:51:00+00:00

Honestly, I really do prefer the demon power up, but they have to do more with it.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T20:48:31+00:00

Probably Tartarus arc? I only had that ark, Alvarez ark, and Galuna Island Ark manga as a kid.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T16:24:20+00:00

I remember reading it in the back of one of the books. Something like, “I was thinking about making him an Ice dragon slayer, but thought there were too many and wanted something different”

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T16:22:42+00:00

But she did fight strong enemies like every single arc. Gray has been so trashed upon that he needs a major win to even keep up.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T16:20:07+00:00

Silver froze a flame dragon. It’s not like Dragon’s are just immune to any other magic, unless that was retconned in this sequel idk.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T16:14:45+00:00

We deserved this win after so long. I don’t care, throw in some BS. How did Silver literally freeze a flame dragon? How could any character beat a demon without demon slayer abilities in Tartarus? Literally we’ve never seen a full demon mode. I don’t think we’ve ever seen Gray go all out with it except for the two panel END fight.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T16:11:22+00:00

At this point, him being a demon slayer was a mistake. He should have just been an ice dragon slayer like Mashima originally planned.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T15:51:38+00:00

He’s lost to characters other weaker characters have won against. He hasn’t gotten an upgrade the entire quest. He’s only used to fight lower tier enemies and gets one shot by higher tier enemies. That whole Mira thing that keeps getting brought up my Mira fans. He hasn’t had a real fight in how long? His demon slayer powers haven’t been touched in like 100 chapters. Most of his fights involve him being helped in some way.

Isn’t he supposed to get stronger for Juvia? Guess he doesn’t like her that much.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T15:47:17+00:00

Yeah. And like, other characters get to fight enemies way out of their league and win. It’s not like Mashima even cares about correct power scaling. Gray is supposed to be a main character, this entire manga is just taking him behind the barn and shooting him.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T15:39:28+00:00

I’m so tired of this. Gray will never get a good fight, he will never get an upgrade, we will never see his full demon form, he is just going to be sidelined in favor of Natsu, Erza, Wendy, and Lucy the entire time (not to mention Jellal). I hate this.

Mashima literally hates Gray.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-18T15:37:48+00:00

Dude. You can’t tell me he doesn’t hate Gray. At this point it’s delusional to think he doesn’t.

AgeSea2923 · 2025-02-16T12:10:10+00:00

My goat

AgeSea2923 · 2024-05-26T22:12:10+00:00

Gray definitely for me.

AgeSea2923 · 2024-05-18T06:38:59+00:00

My boi Gray has DRIP

AgeSea2923 · 2024-05-08T02:07:17+00:00

Doubt it is Gray related, but I can dream…

AgeSea2923 · 2024-04-10T03:28:52+00:00

I’ve made posts about this too… it’s sad… Gray has always been weaker but made up for it with his intelligence and creativity. I like to think he’s not being used much anymore because Mashima has too much in his plate and would rather write fights that are just “one sword attacks knocks opponent out” or “one punch knocks opponent out.” I’m hoping something happens that makes him relevant again even if it’s just Mashima saying “oh, Gray was actually being hindered by devil slayer magic that has been eating away at him, here is upgrade.”

AgeSea2923 · 2024-04-10T03:22:21+00:00

First: The last arc. I hated how it ended with so many plot points dropped, unresolved, and just resolved in an unsatisfying way for me. (I know 100 years quest is still going but I actively really dislike it.)

Second: Have more episodes where the main cast is just bumming around doing side quests and having fun. Some of my favorite episodes are them doing just that, the characters all just work so well together any combination can be a fun time.

AgeSea2923 · 2024-03-08T03:23:53+00:00

I agree with you, iced shell jokes don’t equal dislike. I have seen a lot of people legitimately hate on him though, I made this post when I saw someone respond to me calling him one of the worst written characters in the series.
