I'm greatful this series has introduced a great older character.
It's nice to see a character the youthful mains can look up to, as shounen's now-a-days seem to always feature some child going up against veterans and winning; becomeing a hero far superior to their elders, dispite being school age with less life experience in most cases.


I wont take my hopes up. I'm sure within the next 2 years the young Natsu will be among the strongest characters in this anime.

In Naruto, episode 76. There was still many "elders" who was greater than Naruto and Sasuke. Now today, Naruto is among the best.

I totally agree and belive me, go into the Naruto forum and you'll see me agruing my corner on superpowered teenagers going up aginst established veteran villians as if their age and experience was nothing.

I should have explained myself better, I'm just greatful this series has made a bit of an effort to stand:
- there's the potential to bring in new characters of various ages any time, without connections
- the fact that a dragon mentored Natsu, he has no master to supass, only strong peers
- Natsu isn't unique; there are alternative characters to root for who are in Natsu's position (the dragon slayers)
- the fact that we don't know if any more dragon slayers are about
- the fact that Lucy's ability strongly depends on her bond with her summons and not strength
- also, the series started with the characters being ages between 17 - 19 and there is always space for time skips
- the author isn't in a major rush to boost Natsu's power and has focused on minors

What makes things worst is; the writer of Fairy Tail was mentored by the writer of One Peice.


As I said, no he wasn't.

I second GrayArchon. Contrary to popular belief, Mashima was never Oda's assistant. He was never an assistant to anyone.
The reason for the similarity is just simple: Akira Toriyama(Dragon Ball)

I don't watch One Piece but they really do look alike. idk if Gildarts is in the manga since I don't read it but this is the first I'm seeing him.
Anyway, can't wait to see what will happen next and with the dragon and all...
Whose dragon will it be? hehe.

Gildarts is one crazy old man.

I never knew there's a 100 year quest. That's freaking impossible to do.

Omg Gildarts is like the brother of Shanks! _O_

I loved the flashback, little Natsu is soooo kawaii! <3

I can't wait till Natsu and prob the other dragon slayers will have their fight! Btw this episode made me really wonder how this serie will end, if it'll ever end :P I mean, will Natsu become the new Gildart?

Wow! In the same episode Natsu's fed hope and despair. Gildarts is supposed to be insanely powerful and that black dragon WRECKED him. I'm excited to see this Edolas arc I've heard so much about.

yes! no more filler.

Gildarts is pretty bro. I hope Gajeel plays a part as master said they had 3 dragon slayers. uh... who's the 3rd? oh wait the stupid loli. I forgot considering how shitty of a character she is. it's like they just wanted an excuse to add a dumb loli.

it's cool that Gildarts is looked up to and supposed to be what 10x stronger than Natsu? but of course somehow Natsu will end up winninig. that's what bothers me about every arc.

A very serious episode following a couple of fillers. Both Lisanna and Gildarts were awesome in how they related to Natsu. I think we also got some pretty strong foreshadowing about someone

Finally fillers are done! We have a real story! And yes the similarities between shanks and gildarts are obvious (the same obvious are those between fairy tail and one piece!). I 'm looking forward the next episodes!

You must be crazy because wendy is a far more interesting character than Natsu. Already with the loss of Cait Shelter and moving on to another guild she has had more development than Natsu.

Gildarts had back luck imo. I'm surprised he was just mentioned a couple episodes ago.

Gildarts already seems like a badass. Hopefully he has a more important role in the near future.

Can't wait for this arc to really kick in, because it looks like it just might be awesome.

Gray was right about one thing. Mention the word dragon and Natsu runs off to find it regardless of the consequences.

I would have liked to see more Natsu x Lissana even if it was just light heated stuff like picnic.

Gildartz returns like a boss.

Did they mention Gildarts before or something? I was personally pissed off because they made it clear early on that the strongest guild members were Laxus, Mystogan and Erza, but everyone in this thread seems to be okay with it.

EDIT: Looked it up, apparently he's mentioned alongside those names in the manga, but not in the anime. That's fucking ridiculous.

So that's why they say there's a Shanks in Fairy tail too xD
Also Gildarts being the strongest? Didn't we heard the same thing about Mystogan and Laxus too. Anyways why Lissana all of a sudden.
