And it has occurred to me that he may bring back the Sorano/Yukino thing in a way everyone is gonna see coming. So it's like, might as well not beat around the bush with this one.

It's not a tweet, it's from the end of volume Q&A for volume 38.

yep, this happened one or two weeks before the chapter where appear zeref speaking with mavis, during this times peoples come with the theory about then being the sibilings but now after this chapter make possible for the sibilings being gray and ultear, and maybe in the end of tartarus arc silver restore ultears age after find which she is his daughter and find about gray(before dying).

People just can't let Ultear live her final moments in peace can't they? So I guess that smile she showed as an old lady was just her being senile?

Can I say something that will probably generate a lot of hate from fans?

Spoiler for Personal opinion about a certain character:

Am I the only one who thinks that Lucy Heartfilia has become the 5th wheel of the group? Hear me out on this one:
- She’s always the backup wheel. She’s not as strong as Natsu, Gray, Erza or Wendy, thus never gets that involved in critical situations beside support.
- Her magic, while cool, is weak. She’s too depend on the keys, can’t borrow her spirits’ powers for herself and still didn’t get some sort of improvement over how many spirits she can summon at once. The most I’ve seen was 2 at a time. I would expect her to summon 6 spirits at the time at this point.
- She’s worthless without her keys. She doesn’t have any backup ability that would make her viable if magic is impossible to use. Her whip? Yeah… she doesn’t use it that often.
- The spirits themselves don’t seem to improve much, compared to the others’ magic.
- She gets captured WAY too many times. She’s like part backup wheel and part damsel in distress. Furthermore, Loke, who can cross the “portal” from the Celestial Realms, barely helps her in these situations.
- She doesn’t seem to even want to get stronger herself. It’s like she didn’t realize that she’s weak and needs to be better.
- I have nothing against Yukino, I really don't, but Lucy should have taken the 2 keys she was offering. She might never get a chance to see these spirits again too. Look, Lucy's respect for the spirits is admirable. However, at that point, she should have just realized that she might need all the help she could have gotten. How about simply borrowing the keys for the tournament and returning them to Yukino after?

Natsu, Grey, Erza, Wendy, Gajeel, Laxus, Juvia, Cana, Mirajane and even Elfman got their big moment of glory and power-up... Lucy? Nope, still needs a savior because she's not that good. Would it kill Mashima to bump Lucy's abilities to Natsu's level?

No offense to fans, but that's my honest opinion.

^ I believe that belongs to the Lucy Character Discussion thread. You'll find more opinions of her there.

Well tbh I think all of this would make sense if they were a military organization or something like that. The thing is they don't role together because of the power the other has, they do things together because they are friends. To me Fairy tale is more about personal bonds than anything else. When someone gets a power up or does anything great it isn't because they are really that strong but because the bonds they have give them "strength." However you are also underestimating a couple things about lucy:
1. She was the primary reason only a couple of dragons came through the gate. This act was the catalyst to saving the entire world.
2. She is a situational person. She doesn't use massive power to win but uses the right piece in the right place. Which in turn helps the group.
3. I think she's a good change of pace to a person who thinks as apposed to just random power ups.

But oh well everyone can have an opinion and I guess this may be off topic.

Well the new chapter is out

Spoiler for 354:

Basically Flare gets her welcome back makes a cute smile and more hints about tartaros and a new character is revealed and since she looks just like mira in her sitri form I predict she and her sister lisanna along with jenny will fight her. Btw don't be surprised if when lisanna fights she's somehow gained a demon form like Mira just saying.

Not sure what to say about this chapter, other than what does its title have to do with anything? If it really is a corruption of the name "Ephialtes", which is synonymous in Greek for the word "traitor", could it be referring to Flare and how she abandoned her village?

[~Yami~]

wow... Tartaros guild are consist of demons??? are they the final boss?? hmm... hopefully yes since this manga is going nowhere
I hope Tartaros' boss is Zeref

considering that this is Mashima's works, we can conclude that Silver might have blood connection with Gray

[Tempest35]

I rename this chapter, "The Cleavage of Flare".

I'd focus it more on Kyouka turning her allies into paper dolls, it's probably a Tartarus thing (especially when Kyouka is a demon and Silver is a DeS).

Like him being Ultear's father?
*mind blows*

[Tempest35]

... and suddenly I'm tickled by an obviously hilarious reunion between a daughter who is much older than her father... XD

[ImperialFlameGod8190]

Its gonna be ultear most likely Gray's parents aren't as interesting and we never knew ultears daddy

[MAX_COLA_POWER!]

I'm leaning more towards Gray's dad since Silver being the father representing the element, and Gray being the color of said element, not to mention the scar.

[saravis]

What if he's both.
*cue dramatic music*

Then that's either gonna put a damper on, or increase the joy, of GrayTear shippers.
