Siver can be Grey himself, his son, his father. No matter. Something along the line.

[ellifeedn]

Clone of his great uncle?

[Kafriel]

Or just father and son. Mashima doesn't have the best chapter titles around...I still remember back in the FT festival arc, "double dragon" followed by "triple dragon" in the Natsu&Gajeel vs Laxus fight...

Reaction for each drawing, In this order:

1- Daaaawwwwww^^
2- FUCK YOU KID YOU A DOUCHE!
3- WHO ARE YOU EPIC MAN!?

[Casshern]

The last one is Sting, no?

[G147]

No that's one of the founding members of FT.

[MAX_COLA_POWER!]

I think one of the fan rumors is that he may be a Dreyar, Makarov's and Laxus' ancestor.

[MAX_COLA_POWER!]

Double post time: Chapter 387, as expected like all beginnings of the Tartaros volumes, the ZETSUBOU zinger arrives. NExt week, more rough foreplay featuring your favorite amazon vs. spoiled brat.

[Kaengel]

So, the point of the title of the chapter was to spoil us ? Very Mashima-like.

Getting a little creepy with face everywhere, the scenery took a huge blow.

[_Misfit]

Well, if the future Gray or Silver-is-Gray's-son theories weren't already debunked after last week's chapter title spoiler (this week's chapter title, that is), than they most certainly are now. It seems like Gray actually knows Silver's identity. Again, safe bet is on him being Gray's pops. Wanted more panels with them in it, but I guess we will have to wait a little longer for an official word on the Ice Devil Slayer considering next week's chapter is entitled 'Erza vs. Minerva'.

[Kaengel]

Amazing coincidence. How the father and son are both Ice mage although Gray didn't learn anything fro him.

[Casshern]

There are no coincidences in shounen.

[Kaengel]

Yeah, only "Destiny".

[immblueversion]

I noticed that Mashima hasn't forgotten about Wendy's little haircut. Looking at it from an angle, I kind of want to see Wendy with a full bob now.

I'm also guessing they'll be saving Gray and Silver's big confrontation for the end of this "arc in an arc", like the others seem to have done. Maybe they'll drop bits and pieces of it here and there.

[~Yami~]

oh no.... Mashima just ruined Wendy's effort... poor her...

anyway, I want to see Natsu-Gajeel-Juvia tag-team battle

[Kafriel]

Am I the only one surprised to see Franmalth alive and King depetrifying already!?

[Wandering Soul]

I'm interested in seeing how Natsu, Gajeel, and Juvia work as a team. It's too bad that Wendy's efforts look like they were wasted.

Well, Wendy did kind of buy her guild time.

[Houreki]

Nice chapter, I want to see how Natsu, Juvia and Gajeel work together and how are they going to resolve the Face thing.
IIRC this would be the third time in which we have a Erza vs Minerva as a title. right?

Well, let's see all the chapters where they faced each other:

First fight:

311. "The Land of Until Tomorrow"
312. "Threesomes" (the three being Erza, Kagura, and Minerva)
313. "The King's Script" (technically the "king" refers to Minerva since that's what she calls herself, though "ruler" or "monarch" would be fitting translations as well)
315. "Rosemary"
316. "A Future Hurrying Towards Despair"
320. "Attacking Lightning"
321. "Laxus vs. Jura"
322. "Gloria"

Second fight:

348. "The Devil Returns" (the "devil" in question is either Deliora or Doriath, but not Minerva)
349. "The Demon Doriath"
350. "Gray vs. Doriath"
352. "Voice of the Flame"
353. "Demon Exorcist"

Third (current) fight:

379. "Tartarus Arc, Part 3: Underworld King"
382. "Alegria"
386. "Galaxia Blade"
388. "Erza vs. Minerva"

Conclusion: This is actually the third "vs." title of a chapter they fought in, but the first two were for other characters (Laxus/Jura, Gray/Doriath). Minerva did receive off-hand mentions, but this is the first straightforward "Erza vs. Minerva" title.
