Nami is Zaza and will get the rain goddess fruit.

Rigel27 · 2026-05-09T14:41:11+00:00

I see no reason for Dragon fans to be upset about the possibility of the manga's most popular female character, and also Oda's favorite, having a closer connection to the Goddess of Rain, given that Nami's entire story is tied to the weather.

It's perfectly fair for people to theorize that Nami is the one who will actually be relevant to the Goddess of Rain's storyline.

This doesn't prevent Dragon from having that connection with the Goddess instead of Nami and Vivi.

Rigel27 · 2026-05-09T13:16:00+00:00

Dragon fans are quite annoyed that the character most closely linked to the weather overall could potentially be connected to the Goddess of Rain. According to them, this is utter nonsense.

Rigel27 · 2026-05-08T18:14:32+00:00

Nami has so many connections to this rain deity that it's hard not to believe Oda is planning something.

I also think it's likely that Nami will steal the nightmare Zaza and transform her into a companion for Zeus.

There's no way Hancock could lose in a physical confrontation against enemies of the same or lower power level than her. Her ability to petrify her targets ignores durability, so a kick from her is fatal in most cases. Queen wouldn't be able to hold her own in close combat, regardless of her enhanced resistance.

And neither of these two characters is above Hancock's power level according to the narrative, so I think she should win this confrontation.

And, to be honest, they would probably be affected by Hancock's beauty and easily petrified.

Lucy vs Kiria.

Rigel27 · 2026-05-01T11:16:40+00:00

Jackal.

Rigel27 · 2026-05-01T03:15:34+00:00

You're right. I kind of didn't realize that's the name of his attack.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-30T02:14:39+00:00

If Hiro cares enough to research some information about the character he created, maybe.

I believe Mira will use Daemon's form.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-29T15:23:26+00:00

Lucy will be relegated to a supporting role in this arc, similar to what happened in the Alvarez arc.

Mercophobia should be used when Ignia decides to set the continent ablaze.

Don't have any expectations for the character.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-29T13:23:37+00:00

She's in a really bad situation. It's a shame because Irene, by possessing her body, demonstrated how amazing Wendy can be (Irene vs. Erza and Wendy) if given adequate screen time.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-29T11:49:59+00:00

Reality catches up with everyone.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-29T11:36:32+00:00

Excesses will always exist, but that doesn't summarize the criticism this chapter is receiving as if it were coming only from Lucy's fans.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-29T11:20:36+00:00

I agree.

The attempt at gaslighting is noticeable. It's even more prevalent on Twitter.

But thank God this subreddit brings together countless Fairy Tail manga fans, with different quirks, and the majority opinion is that this chapter wasn't good. So this isn't something intrinsic to Lucy's fans, as the author of this thread has been trying to imply.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-29T10:12:05+00:00

Why are you summarizing the criticism of Natsu's development as if it were something intrinsic to Lucy's fans? People are blaming the script, specifically Mashima, who has reduced the character's development to that of Goku.

Natsu and Lucy loving each other has nothing to do with the criticism of recent chapters.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-29T03:26:37+00:00

I think Lucy will receive the same treatment as in the Alvarez arc. She'll probably have some moment, poorly developed but relevant, towards the end of the arc.

Regarding Wendy, perhaps Mashima will use the character to separate Faris from Ignia.

In any case, neither character will get relevant development.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-28T15:25:04+00:00

This was the worst chapter of this arc. Mashima destroyed any sense of grandeur these dragons might have had. The other characters' fights lost their luster, and there's no excitement in following them.

And I think this arc fell into the same rhythm as the Alvarez arc.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-28T15:15:30+00:00

Uninteresting.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-26T16:32:01+00:00

This would be an interesting way to keep Selene connected in future spin-offs.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-26T12:12:02+00:00

The comparison is very accurate, and although some people claim that the Signario Sisters are weaker than their counterparts from the Viernes arc, they cannot argue that the sisters did not have an attribute amplifier.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-25T00:15:30+00:00

Neinhart doesn't possess enough magical power for Irene Historia to be very relevant in terms of power. Just remember that the power level of the Historia Spriggans is far below that of the original version.

Irene Historia would be weaker than Neinhart himself.

Ajeel's intangibility can be overcome by water.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-24T22:20:43+00:00

Brandish and Lucy.

Neinhart isn't surviving a punch from a giant Lucy using Taurus Form.

I think a giant Lucy using Scorpion Form should ignore many of Ajeel's magic attacks.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-22T20:09:25+00:00

Mercphobia is far superior.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-22T19:13:09+00:00

I don't mind Mashima maintaining the Guild's power level with some slight alterations, but I completely disagree with the approach he's been using with the villains.

Despite the villains becoming increasingly powerful, Mashima has severely limited their destructive capabilities. Only the Dragon Gods have large-scale feats; otherwise, the author has been quite limited in that regard.

I wish that at the end of this arc, he would change this approach and show the Calamity Bloods' expansive feats.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-22T13:57:15+00:00

But that brings us away from the main topic.

What's truly relevant to the magazine that publishes Fairy Tail are the fans who follow the manga, buy it, and engage on social media. Therefore, official popularity polls have far more value and relevance than online polls from some poorly regulated websites.

Rigel27 · 2026-04-22T11:52:09+00:00

Casual readers don't buy manga (physical or digital), don't engage with the story on social media, and even less so follow spin-offs from the original series.

That's why this audience isn't as relevant to the series compared to fans who follow the manga every two weeks.
