but then this must be something that applies to ALL Dragonslayers. Gajeel also didn't get through the barrier....... so Natsu, Gajeel AND Wendy are all over 80?

And there is still Wendy's Edolas version, who is still mysteriously older than earthland Wendy even though the age of all the other characters mirror.
On the other hand, we've seen young Natsu and Wendy before, and with other characters too so we know that isn't just a different memory. Reincarnation cycle, perhaps? Last edited by Keroko; 2010-11-03 at 12:04. |

I doubt Natsu is physically 80 years old. If so, he'd have wrinkles and such. It makes sense that Wendy is 12 and Natsu is what... 15? (since Lucy is 15). But something happened so that the Dragonslayers are deemed over 80. I think cyberdemon's theory isn't that far-fetched. Even Zeref only looks to be in his teens!

And this isn't the first time he showed an interest in Natsu, if you recall way back in chapter 23: And since we know that Jellal's main weapon is deception, I'm pretty confident that this is the case here. ... You know what I think? I think that this new guy isn't Zeref at all. Think about it for a moment, Zeref has from the beginning been hyped as the biggest of evils, the greatest of mages, the most final of bosses, why would they fight him here and now when there are so many other plotlines that are still going to be resolved? I think that this guy is a Dragon Slayer who can't control his power, but not Zeref himself. If I were to hand a title of the greatest of evil to someone, this guy who doesn't even want to kill is not the one I'd give it to. |

That's true, and there were those keys mentioned after the Tower arc. Maybe they'll awaken Zeref's personality, but not his full power.
Scary thought though, I mean if this guy unconsciously kills everything around him with most of his power sealed... |

Spoiler for code geass ending:
He would be the perfect person to do so because of his powers and maybe he was also seeking someone able to kill him because he couldn't control them and just wanted to die. |

Lately, villains with purpose tend to turn out being fist-fed misunderstood tragic heroes trying to change the destiny of the universe, so I'd take an insane evil black mage over that...at least they keep what dignity they got.

Yeah, I agree with Kafriel. 'cause I'm evil' villains aren't much of a cliche anymore these days, it's the 'I'm misunderstood' villains that are the cliché instead. So I don't mind another Kefka or Joker, some psycho who's just so batshit insanely evil that he plans to take the entire world with him.
Right now though, the stage is ready for Zeref to be the former. |

I disagree with you all.

They're both clichés. One's just more in fashion than the other.
Really, whether it's good or not depends on the execution. I'd say crazy "for the evulz" villains are generally bad, because they're the symptom of a lazy writer. But the Dark Knight's joker, for example, was great. OTOH, you sometimes have villains whose motivation is supposedly greed - an understandable motive right there - but whose schemes wouldn't actually make them money under any circumstances. |
