Sure not definitive proof but it does make his return to the manga seem likely and sadly Cobra's return seem doubtful atm.

Richard isn't a bad guy anymore, and is probably happily living with his brother. Or remained in prison to serve his time, if the others escaped.

As for Mira's transformation, I don't have anything against the look, per se. It's nice seeing something new, but I'm wondering how they plan to show it as being different from the Satan Soul we already know. I was kinda hoping she had different demonic transformations, that would perhaps have her looking more and more like an actual demon.

Seems like everyone's down-playing the severity of the situation.

I mean, Jellal's a runaway fugitive with a death sentence to his name, not to mention, is the murderer of Simon and countless others

The fiend should not be roaming free

I think it's safe to say that any form of Take Over magic allows for different forms. I mean, it was obvious enough when Elfman turned his arm into different forms before using his Full-Body Take Over, and Lisanna can turn into all kinds of animals. And considering this is a manga-related thread...

Spoiler for Manga-only:

I don't know if you're keeping up with the manga, but the current manga arc has already established that Mirajane can use different forms of Satan Soul; the same goes for Elfman's Beast Soul (he uses different full-body transformations in the same arc). So the anime filler arc just takes that fact and establishes it earlier on, kind of like when they established in the anime adaptation of the Nirvana arc that Lucy has become strong enough for her weaker spirits to summon themselves at will, which was only implied and not really delved into in the manga.

[Tempest35]

For the Take Over Magic, while it is the same magic as a whole, there are different specializations. Same thing with Natsu and Macao. They both can be considered Fire Wizards but their specializations are different as, in how they apply it.

Mira has the Satan Soul specialization, aka Demon Soul. If one thinks about it like that, then Mira can transform into different demon forms using Satan Soul. The name just designates what specialty they use most often. As to how she got them to begin with...

Same thing with Elfman - his specialization is Beast Soul and he turns into beastmen/were-beasts of different varieties. Lisanna's is Animal Soul and she turns into various animals. So even if they use one as their primary when they transform, it doesn't mean that it is the sole form they use.

Mirajane's transformations seem to be named after the 72 Earls of Hell listed in the Ars Goetia from the Lesser Key of Solomon. Sitri and Halphas are two of these demons; that said, I wonder which one of these demons Mira's signature form is named after.

It's an ok question to make, don't worry. She, for now, doesn't have 72 transformations. I was saying that it wouldn't be surprising that she did have 72 since each of her forms is based on the info that immblueversion posted.

[Tempest35]

The HNNNG~ factor of this fight was great... Can't wait till we get to see it animated - at the end of the year... ><

So GS magic doesn't corrupt as I thought it might. Either that or Chelia is so 'good', it doesn't really affect her. Guess we have to wait to confirm if Orga is a GS himself or not since GS magic doesn't give off the 'Zeref' vibe.

[xKeir]

Why does Laharl just conveniently show up with a bunch of Guards ...

Other then that, strangely i actually have no problems with what Doranbolt did. In fact, it would be WEIRD if he didn't. The previous chapter already showed him noticing Mystogan, and with all the info he had it would make perfect sense for him to give chase.

Loved how Erza kind of 'noticed' when Jellal was stopped and confronted by Doranbolt.

Oh wait, i love everything about Erza....

As for the fight, i actually thought [despite how much i wanted Wendy to win] that Chelia deserved a win, and that Mashima merely came up with some bs [okay, maybe not completely bs] reason to 'even' the battle and give it a draw so that Wendy doesn't look bad or something. Just my own picky 2 cents. For someone that overpowered to draw with someone else whom she had been completely pushing back for the majority of the fight from the beginning just seems ~meh~ to me, so yeah. Though i guess all that fatigue thing does make sense, just can't help but feel it wasn't a well deserved draw.

Despite saying that ... i acknowledge Wendy's determination so i'm not saying she doesn't 'deserve' that draw. But Fairy Tail's gotta lose at times! I get that Day3 is their day with all that epicness from the others but u gotta lose when u gotta lose [lol] ...
And don't bring up the 1st 2 days of the games where FT were losing.. I just felt like a lose is a lose, and so is a win. Just sayin, doesn't hurt to have Wendy lose.

[Tempest35]

Might not hurt overall but it would hurt me!!

Really, do you want to face a crying Wendy and try to see everyone consoling her afterward? I know everyone felt badmad when Lucy lost to Flare. It would cast a big downer on a lot of weekends (meta-speaking) if we had to see Wendy crying to herself because she lost...

[ReinhartX]

i just hope in day 4 of the games a sabertooth member loses in the duel section....its about time.....

[ronin myael]

i wouldn't mind seeing the real mystogan again even if it means an asspull from mashima.

[Kafriel]

Just wait until Natsu reaches dimension-breaking power levels, you'll see Mystogan waving from the cracks

[Tempest35]

If that's the case, let's grab Nightwalker for a lil bit and have twin Erzas make havoc across Fiore.

In the words of Jason: "COOOOOOL!!"

I agree. As much as I don't mind current jellal especially in mystogan disguise, I've always been fond of the original mystogan, especially with his underdog status as an S-CLass mage from Edolas. It'd be great to see him again if ever.

Hmm wondering what they are going to have her do in her new anime form.

Prince Sitri recently manga form

Sitri is a Great Prince of Hell, and reigns over sixty legions of demons. He causes men to love women and vice versa, and makes them to show themselves naked if it is desired. He also reveals secrets of women, mocking them.
He is depicted with the face of a leopard and the wings of a griffin, but under the conjurer's request he changes into a very beautiful man.

She uses that form to beat a girl and due to the defeat that girl has to pose NAKED in a magazine. LOL, kind of sticking to the lore.


So lets look at this new form for the anime that Hiro conjured up and think what it may do.

Malthus (also Halphas, Malthas, or Malthous) is an Earl of Hell, commanding 26 legions of demons, who is said to have a rough voice when speaking. He is often depicted in the shape of a stork.

Malthus builds towers and fills them with ammunition and weapons, an armorer of sorts. He is a prince of Hell. He is also said to send his legions into battle, or to places designated by higher commanding demons.



Sounds like an Erza type of soul take over. Like she will be wipping out weapons or something.

Here is where i'm looking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...the_Ars_Goetia Wonder if anyone can figure out what her form we were used to is called. I'm assuming its weaker than these new forms.

Anyone else waiting for a cover where we get to see that particular photo shoot? *drools*

[Ryus]

Just randomly had a new thought of who the rabbit could be that I don't think has been suggested yet...

Spoiler for idea:

Loki, simply put in a sense he was in Blue Pegasus before and maybe made them a promise or two like with Grey last arc. Plus having Lucy fight her own strongest spirit would be the most troll thing I could think of happening here and Lucy getting at least one rediculas fight per arc is almost an unwritten rule.

Just think of it Lucy ends up having to fight the Rabbit and the tries to summon Loki to defeat the rabbit only to have it not work at all... if she's lucky a good spirit would appear in his place but if unlucky she could end up with Plue on the battle field. Then only to see glowing fists on the rabbit and realize Loki is her opponent.

After all he hasn't been seen since the second time jump and for him thats kinda odd.

Plus Lucy was the member on Fairy Tail to really notice the Rabbit on day one... hence why I'm thinking the two of them may end up being the ones to fight one another. I don't know guess I'm saying it could be sly foreshadowing of an upcoming fight between them since half the cast already has the fights foreshadowed.

Now not saying this is my guess who it is, just a random thought... until I had this thought I was thinking it was Richard/Hoteye but now I'm not so sure.

[classic]

Ryus, it was you who were saying about another forum where you are duscussing FT? Which is it?
About your thought

Spoiler for ?:

I dont think that rabbit is Hoteye. Hoteye is in prison. What reason could have Blue Pegasus to let him free?
It could be Loki cause he is not a minor character to left him for so long...
But Whoever rabbit is, i think he will fight with Natsu)

u kinda missed that already yukino lost and thats why natsu went apeshit on sabertooth cause after she lost and was told to strip and erase her mark. (yukino got some boobs on her) she went to lucy to give her the keys
