Does FTs 3 victories so far on Day 3 have to do with the date? and what do you think will happen 7/7?
Simply put in the story it is now July 3rd according to the last page of ch 280 it was the end of the second day and stated to be July 2nd.
Now as some of you may recall Lucy presumably joined Fairy Tail on July 3rd.
In Chapter 3. When Natsu, Lucy and Happy left to find Macao, it was at night and they returned in daylight, which is most likely the next day (Romeo says the mountains are not far away). An info box on the last page says the date is July 4th and that she went from sunny to snowstorm to sunny, further suggesting that it is July 3rd.
Well anyways, we've had 3 back to back Fairy Tail victories on July 3rd oddly too. Maybe the battle round on day 2 could represent the night (second event = last half of the day aka night) before Lucy joined and that likely corresponds with the night Lucy and Natsu destroyed there first town together. Oh sweet memories...
Plot wise the main team of Fairy Tail character (Natsu, Lucy, Happy) have now from their point of view completed one year* together (*Unless you count the 3 month time jump against them or count it as 8 years (7 +1) instead
).
So if you think this might be true that Mashima choose today July 3rd (plot wise) for Fairy Tail's comeback has any possibility of being true, then do you believe this will effect the outcome of Laxus vs Raven Tail? aka will the streak hold since it is there "luc
ky" day? Or will they only have 3 victories because it was only a 3 member team on those dates (as crazy as this sounds remember D
emis
e equaled route
E, so who knows... Mashima is a bit odd with his riddles and stuff)?

Now next off that means July 7, the stated day for the "eclipse" is 4 days away... but there is only 2 days left of the 5 day tournament.
- So will the tournament be completed before the prophecy starts unfolding?
- Will the tournament end in some tie forcing a tiebreaker extension?
- Will Raven Tail get caught cheating thus forcing a redo of some events, thus pushing things back and allowing the prophecy to interrupt the tournament (or Jellal ousted or the bunny guy)? Or at the very least cause the tournament people pause the tournament for a day or two to consider how respond to this?
- Will the prophecy start unfolding place after the tournament (like Lucy gets grabbed after partying too hard)?
- Will they just move up there schedule and attempt to capture Lucy/Yukino again early? Just to troll the tournament since captain guy can't wait for his own plan's scheduled date...
- If the eclipse plan gets started early (aka before 7/7), will Lucy be rescued/return on 7/7?
- Will the Dragons return 7/7 as a result of the Eclipse plan?
- Will Zeref show up then or before 7/7?
- Will Lucy's mom show up in any for on 7/7 or when Lucy disappears?
Simply put what are your thoughts on the dates of the tournament? Mashima seems to like dates in this series so how will he use them this time?
