Good chapter. However very tame and "fan safe" I guess.

2. I don't that is Zeref under the hood.

1.) One of the main characters of the Fairy Tail movie
2.) Who knows, we will have to wait and see
3.) Actually they didn't become strong until all the 5 of it's current tournament team members (Unless Minerva was a part of ST, from the beginning) joined them, apart from that, you're claim is most likely correct.

It's a good build up and ending overall but I got one major problem.. the way natsu dominating them.. That's just a usual punch, kick and roar and they easily got hit.. wtf?!

it didn't make sense a while ago natsu got all owned up by dragon force and minutes later without any 'change', he got no problem dealing with 2 of those...

It would be far more logical if he enters some kind of mode to dominate those 2 dragons or an explanation on why he suffered the dragon force hit in the 1st place, he could say he was just wanted to tested out df power so he played dumb that time..

But if it's the latter option, than natsu is way overpowered and sabertooth is a joke..

Poor idiots from RT, the lack experience, just because you have a gun it doesn't makes you a cowboy .

Again, I really think their dragons got killed only because they even tried to protect themselves and let the idiots to kill them.

In that case, it looked like power was greater than feelings. I kinda hate it when author's use sentiments like these, because they never apply them equally or consider the larger ramifications.

I really wish Mashima hadn't used her just as a blatant plot device to anger Natsu. He didn't need to. He would have been fired up enough over Yukino, and ST's general attitude.

Anyway, apparently either a different Zeref, or someone like Zeref, is coming. Back to wondering what will happen next.
No, Lucy really lacks own power, without her keys everyone can guess how it ends for her. She really needs more proper magic to use herself.

What if the Big Bad happens to be Lucy after joining dark side?

Then really will be a wall there.

Eclaire cover <3 Possible Zeref comeback, since nobody (else) cries at the sight of Natsu, cool fight. So, Natsu held his word and kicked both their asses solo after seeing their moves, loved it. CRY LECTOR, CRYYYY! Apparently their Dragon Force was incomplete, wonder if they'll be given any more focus after this tournament...

Btw, final score:
- Fairy Tail 45 pt.
- Sabertooth 44 pt.

it's odd, because this is the first time i can recall natsu actually dominating in a fight, not strugglinggg like hell.

didn't like the chapter, only because it felt too short... i got gotten too used to the 28+ chapters

also don't like how all of hte backstory is dedicated to sting, no reason for rogue's motivation, but i guess when he heel-face-turns, we'll get that story

yea the lack of lightning dragon force is just wow, but i guess natsu had some internal power up, like.... resolve? kubo's been creeping on mashima's studio again. or even natsu channelled us, the fans' desire to see an asswhooping, and channeled that into firepower (see what i did there?)

i know mashima's emphasizing the whole, "fighting for other's gives you more strength than just fighting for yourself' theme, as well as the fact that natsu is more experienced than them both, and i guess you can factor in that they had used up alot of their strength getting asswhooped earlier (plus, did they even use dragon force this chapter?) but, it still feels like an asspull win, how exactly did natsu accomplish this?

maybe zeref will explain it to us though, so it stops tasting so much like an overdose of deus ex mashima

*reread it, and wow they were in df mode the entire chapter... couldn't tell

I think Sting and Rogue dragon parents fake their death so Sting and Rogue wont spend their life looking for them.

I'd like to say that 2nd origin is just THAT strong. Don't forget, Lucy was about to pull hax magic too, but as always magic nullification is on another level...Kana also activated Fairy Glitter properly this time, so it's not too hard to imagine Natsu being strong enough to handle the ST duo.

yes, but at the same time i was under the implications that the reason they needed 2nd origin is because all the fighters of the current era had unlocked it themselves over the past 7 years. in fact it was implied that erza had already unlocked hers (which is why she wasn't in any pain after ultear unlocked hers), so everyone on the erza s-class level should have 2nd origin

so naturally, the top 5 of sabertooth should have unlocked their 2nd origins too, it would be weird for them to be at the top without it

I understand people's gripes but I am thankful that Natsu didn't struggle for once. We all knew from the start of Fairy Tail that Natsu was going to be one of the strongest characters by the end of the series.

Also, there is no proof how strong Sting and Rogue really were since Fairy Tail was gone for 7 years and this is the first time they were actually tested that we know of! Just because you run your mouth a lot doesn't make you the strongest. Sting and Rogue talked the talk but Natsu walked the walk lol.

Ultear gave Natsu what probably amounts to a HUGE powerup. Since Natsu probably has one of the highest potentials in the entire story, he really should be showing signs of really powering up big time.

Hey guys, I wanna invite you all to the campfire over at OM right now, SO MUCH flames of hate for this chapter over there, I love it^^. Anyhoo, back on topic, I think Mavis kinda crossed the fourth wall there and basically said to all the haters, yeah we trollin, you mad? Hell, I think her reaction to the Dragon farts of these 2 was like, *monotone*omagah, dragon force, better look shocked to sell this.

Uhm...no. I don't know what you read, but 2nd origin has only recently been discovered. NOBODY other then the FT people who got upgraded by Ultear have 2nd origin. Natsu, Erza, Wendy, Lucy and Gray (maybe Jellal) are the ONLY people in the tournament that have 2nd origin.

We had the proof in last chapter. Rember this great doublepage explosions by Sting and Rogue which blew arena like bubble-gum while Erza, Gray and other were mumbling about how powerfull they are. But what we see? For Natsu it is just piece of cake.

Well, you know how Igneel, Metalicana, and Grandiney taught their kids other stuff besides fighting? They were like their school, teaching them all about language, history, etc. That was Sting and Rogue's mistake. They killed their dragons because they didn't want to go to school, that's why their thinking and logic capabilities are at dur hurr hurr level.
