I get Natsu quivering and Cana crying, and the shot of Zeref is blatantly obvious, but how do you explain the shot with the hand?

And now that you mention it, the latest anime episode just aired and contains that scene with the flash-forwards. But I should probably keep that in the anime section. But if Hiro Mashima's ties to the anime are reputable, it could probably lead to some insight, unless some of it ends up not being reused animation.
