wow what a sight in that small sentence you made one of the most profound aspirations hahaha "THE DEATH OF GAR" HAHAHAHHAHA

[Freeter]

In the scheme of things so far, we've seen much more interaction between Ezra and Natsu than Ezra and Gray. At the least, Ezra seems more concerned with Natsu's well-being in any given situation than with Gray's.

Exactly. And in this current arc, we've seen that Erza's been a big sis to more than just Natsu and Gray, so the fact that she's especially concerned for Natsu indicates that he's someone very special to her. Otherwise Mashima wouldn't have bothered drawing such interactions.

Although I still think Natsu x Lucy is inevitable, having Erza in the mix will make for some fun chapters.

Very true, I mean, why else would she 'ex-quip' into such a provacative dress to wear to a casino and only after she heard that Natsu and Gray were already there? lol Not that I was complaining when she did, my jaw hit the floor too... She even gave a small blush while thanking him for trying to 'rescue' her from the council trial. lol

Natsu's protecting her (the elder sister) with all the firey ambition of a younger baby brother. And if you've ever dated a girl with a younger brother, you know what I mean - sometimes they are more of an obstacle than even her father.

We know that Gerald was her first crush/love...and she was ready to die with him so it's not like Natsu is on that level with him in her heart. All this time, she's been chained to the past but as it stands, it seems that Natsu is the one to break those chains on her (fingers crossed).

They are like the yin and yang. Perfect combination.

[Majek]

"...Natsu's the baby of their lil family..." wtf? Is this mental comparison or something?

[technomo12]

[Majek]

Spoiler for Chapter 99:

Noooooo Erza!

Spoiler for If you really want to know:

Natsu, having won the fight, collapsed from exhaustion. The crystal tower, heavily damaged from the fight, became unstable and started to leak the energy stored from Etherion. It was only a matter of time before a catastrophic explosion occur. Erza, realizing that there was no way to defend or escape from the imminent explosion, decided that there was only one thing left she can do: that was to merge with the crystal tower to control the magical energy from within. She placed her hand on the wall of the tower and was slowly being absorbed inside. At this point, Natsu regained consciousness. After some parting words to him, Erza threw herself into the tower. The magical energy spiralled upwards towards the sky and dissipated.

Spoiler for ch99:

Spoiler for second warning:

Ye i just checked the raws myself even though i don't understand a bit. This is reeeally bad, Mashima's not going to let my favorite FT character disappear just like that is he? Will i even bother reading it any further if there's no hope for her reappearance? Well, we better not jump to conclusions. Anyway Mashima better pull off a nice and happy ch100.

[Majek]

Riker i could tell that much myself. I hoped for someone knowledgeable in the language would give a summary.

Spoiler for chapter 99:

ah holy crap....I'm on the same boat here if Erza is gone for good is there really any point reading on?!

This is possiblely the worst outcome of the chapter!!!!!!!!!

[Tempest35]

Gray is going to KILL Natsu...

[cloak_and_dagger]

Oh yes. Oh yes he will.

did i miss something?

Spoiler for scanlated ch99:

Well i still have hope this is not the end for Erza, the last page includes a rethorical question whether it's really over or not next to the announcement of a special next issue (Mashima can't let one of the most popular characters die like that in ch100 even if it was made up pretty good drama and plot wise, right ). Another thing that came to my mind is that since she fused with the 'lachryma' isn't she reviving Zeref along the way as Gerard had planned all the time? Arrgh, rarely am i this anxious about an upcoming chapter but this cliffhanger is killing me

[Takeo]

Didn't want to believe it...

Spoiler:

That was my first thought, too. Would this still follow Gerard's plan? There's not really a difference between forcing Erza to die by absorbing the energy of Etherion, and Erza voluntarily doing it, is there?

[Majek]

Spoiler:

We'll see. We need some long term evil anyway. :/

And Natsu will decapitate Gray if he tries anything. <_<

Spoiler for 99:

Exactly, there shouldn't be a difference, it's just the question whether the destroyed tower can still be used to revive Zeref or if the 'lachryma' is just a leftover and therefor an element of storytelling so Erza 'can' sacrifice herself to save her nakama without further consequences (as if it wasn't bad enough). I also fear another third outcome: Erza posessed by Zerefs spirit (even though they talked about sacrifice all the time) creating a boss villain (boooooring) with Natsu and the gang trying to free Erza from his control over countless arcs... aaah the nightmare, let's hope i'm totally wrong.

[Magin]

Spoiler for 99:

I'm hoping Mashima isn't offing one of the most popular FT characters... but if you think about it, this had to happen. For those who've seen TTGL, in order for Simon to become stronger, you-know-what happens to Kamina, and I know he was extremely well liked. The same thing's happening here- Erza has stated that Natsu has the capablity to become stronger, and there's only one way in which he becomes stronger, i.e. when he loses those who are close to him.

However, I'm hoping that Erza isn't gone for good... but we'll have to wait a few days to find out the answer. If she is, then it's a case of '...fuck.'. But I also admit, I just don't see any way of actually bringing her back(which REALLY sucks)

[TrueKnight]

Chapter 99,

Spoiler:

God damn son of a..... They actually killed my favourite FT character?! But hey, its Mashima here we're talking about. Maybe Erza will be back in the future. Remember Shuda from Rave Master? -_-

Or they could also possibly pulling another Sieghart on us, with epic death. Hope thats not the case here.

Seriously, my hope for Natzu x Erza was ruined...

[Freeter]

Spoiler for 99:

Oh hell no.

If Erza goes MIA then FT is GGPO'ed. Maybe she'll be granted a new body, but...I'm already partial to her old one

The big 100 had better not disappoint...
