From the way Mashima handles his defeated villains, they usually
Spoiler for RAVE:
This will probably happen to Luxus as well. I hope his reason to want to be strong is not the usual cliche of being weak in the past, and even if it is, I would like it to be powerful and emotional enough to justify his behavior. It's possible to see him as a sympathetic character if his story is told well.

Let's see...
right now we got Bixlow vs Loki... Luxus talks about taking on mistgun and Ezra himself, and Fried taking on Kana and Lluvia... and then we have the destined battle of the two dragon slayers vs Luxus... frankly, i think Loki vs Bixlow will end with a Loki win... Bixlow already scored enough points when he beat gray, so i'm expecting that Loki will not get beaten as well thing is, i don't want to see mistgun loose his first fight... i want him to either win, or not fight at all... Ezra i can except loosing to Luxus, but also loosing to the dragon slayers and needing mistgun to finish the job? no, that's just too much right there... frankly with this chapter i think it's certain that Natsu and Gazzille will be the one's finishing the job and then there is fried dealing with Kana and Lluvia... Kana, i would like to do well for he first fight, however if it means having Mistgun fight fried and win, i wouldn't mind seeing the two girls loose this time; especially since they are up against fried who is likely the strongest of the 3 stooges. either that, or Mistgun does his usual support thing and take out the temple of thunder... like i said, he's either got to win his fight, or not fight at all imo two possibilities... one, it's a matter of pride; he's attached his name to fairy tail and wants to keep it that way... two, there are certain hoops and hurdles to go through in order to create a new legal guild that Luxus is not capable of passing (other than power, age, experience, and certain more honorable recognitions could be required by the guild creator) so the only way for him to become a guild master is through heritage or creating an illegal guild which doesn't seem to be within his own ideologies. |

You know, we never considered one other possibility, mostly because it defies the Laws of shounen: what if Natsu and Gazille actually have no part in this fight at all?
It is possible for Luxus to be defeated by others, you know... especially if Mistgun gets involved of course, that will be a case of "what, the fight's already over? dammit!" but it is still a (very miniscule) possibility

That was a possibility back when it seemed like they couldn't get out of that barrier... however, the combination of Levi working on getting rid f the barrier, pinning her hopes on Natsu and Gazille, along with master who thought highly of both of them, all adds up to the foreshadowing that they WILL get out and they WILL fight Luxus... if they didn't get out, then the focus on Levi even trying to tke down the barrier would just be a waste of good pages and panels

When it comes down to it, the strongest mages have more to profit from being in a legal guild; steady work and no trouble from the council... As such, Luxus would have trouble building a powerful guild as most strong mages would rather work legally... Luxus is pretty much limited to only the scum and that doesn't give him as much to work with... not to mention interference from the council is bound to cause him trouble As for taking the town hostage... as long as Luxus doesn't unleash the temple's wrath, he can deny and try to weasel his way out of things. If he does pull the trigger, then that means master did not give in and as such all hope was lost for him to obtain a legal guild (so screw the consequences) |

Kind of dissapointed, Gray really got done in bye Bixlow so seems I don't have to hope at a Gray-Bixlow round 2. I kind of feel sorry for Gray who is going to be probably mocked bye Natsu for this.
I even forgot Lucy had Loki as a triumphcard till I saw his smile, totally forgot she was a stellar magic and not only eye candy. Well now Loki arrived on stage Bixlow's screentime is over. One character I will not miss and hope doesn't pop up back often. And a Gazille pairing, I'm already seeing it from last week. Lets not forget he already used BSDM on her when he crucified her .

On second thought, i think the pairing would be qutie impossible, at least till the very end. It's Mashima we are talking about, his manga never has any real romance in it.
And yeah, i kinda feel sorry for Gray too. Wanna see more of his action. But the guy has been in the spot light recently and if he had not been taken out by Bixlow, we may have not seen the appearance of Mist Gun. I guess that makes it equal. |

I personally think "Wendy" is a dragon or dragon incarnation of some sort. Young Igneel met with "her" and something happened. Someone so old i don't think would fit the bill for Natsu romance.
But who know, of all the dragon slayers, there ought to be a babe. |
