Anyway, what worries me about this chapter is whether or not it will result in the present and all the events that have transpired being totally rewritten, because the way this chapter goes down and the way the next one is set up, it looks like the previous two chapters were completely pointless. It's like it'd make no difference removing the scenes of everyone's deaths and Ultear's sacrifice reversing them, because honestly, everyone looked like they were doing fine beforehand. Laxus was on his way to help Wendy, we didn't see what Gajeel's battle with the dragon was like, and everyone else was pretty much just doing their thing. We also got some development with the Erza/Jellal/Kagura/Millianna plotline, anti-climactic as it was. In short, everything from Gray's death to Ultear's sacrifice just looks like a pesky road bump made to make the abrupt defeat of Future Rogue seem even more abrupt than it would have been otherwise. The chapter says a Fairy Tail booklet containing Hiro Mashima's drafts will be released on July 20. If it turns out to contain an earlier draft of this arc that seems a hell of a lot more promising than what it's been now, I will be upset. I do recall seeing a rough sketch of another early draft of this arc, shown in Volume 32. Spoiler:

If this is it, this arc was just the worst. It had all the most predictable and useless aspects in it.
Fights were plain, boring, predictable and underwhelming. Whole Ultear sacrifice was pointless. Whatever next arc is, Mashibe better get it right.

Probably in her play pen holding her blankie and crying, besides, why do you care about her anyway after all she's done? If you wanna see striped panties and Sadistic chicks so badly, look up the trope on TV tropes and they'll give you TON of examples. Closet Masochism...it's a terrible ting

Wait a minute... The "Last Ages" spell is said to use up the time of the person who uses it. So even if the present is rewritten so the dragons never attacked, wouldn't that mean she'll remain the same?
By god, that would make her death seem even more pointless!

And this is why time travel into the past should never be shown unless you can account for every effin' paradox that its gonna cause. This just became as stupid as Naruto and Bleach - Bleach for God's sake!!

That's impossible really, most time-traveling stories underestimate the impact even the most minute change can have. Just causing someone to pause for a second to say hello can have a massive chain reaction that could impact the time traveler and thus lead to paradoxes. In the end you just have to accept that most time traveling stories are going to have paradoxes and try to ignore them.

Hiro must've had a phase where he thought he was the Doc from Back to the Future and decided to implement that onto the story. The tournament was enough, and if you wanted to do something impactful for the July 7 bit, let Natsu's, Gajeel's, and Wendy's parents return, warn them about Acnologia, Igneel would talk to Lucy about Layla and her connection, then fly off, that's it.

Say, tell me... When Rogue said he came to the past, did he explicitly state it was with the Eclipse Gate within the arena?
If there's anything the next chapter can do that won't disappoint me, it'd be this: reveal that the Eclipse Gate they just destroyed was not the same gate Future Rogue used. Then they'd avoid (or at least postpone) totally rewriting the present, if that's what the destruction of the gate really will do. But I kinda doubt it... Just don't disappoint me, Hiro.

Anything involving time travel to the past creates infinite paradoxes that can't be fixed. It's best to avoid it altogether. Let's say destroying the gate works and means Future Rogue doesn't come back. But if so, then the gates would not have been destroyed. So Future Rogue would come back anyway... but destroy the gates again, so he wouldn't, so he would, so he wouldn't, so ... forever. Hopefully they can say he didn't use that gate in first place to avoid making the paradox that bad, or make it so destroying the gate has no effect (meaning current Future Rogue is from another dimension, creating new dimensions with each time trip is the most common way of mostly fixing time travel). |

Considering how Future Lucy came from a future where 10,000 dragons literally did come and attack, maybe. Until then, I'm afraid the names of the dead would have to be Gray, Bacchus, Droy, Macao, and maybe Gajeel.
