Fairy Tail Canon Pairings (spoilers till latest chapter)

Isterio said:
So many people seem to ship pairings in this fandom, even more than within other Shounen fandoms. so I thought I´d make al list of the "confirmed " canon pairings.

This is not meant as listing thread (so no favorite Yaoi or Yuri ships). It´s a prediction build upon the partially subtile and partially blatantly confirmed ships of the Fairy Tail cast, through Hiro Mashima´s writing.

FT ships I consider confirmed for a 100%. Aka there will be pages dedicated to their future in the final chapter (I´m expecting alot of playmates for Asuka), or will have pages dedicated to building their romantic relationships inbetween.
Furthermore any of this characters is safe from death, throughout the story.
Zeref and Mavis should be the one tragic ship of the story.

Erza Jellal.

Gray Juvia.

Laxus Mirajane.

Gajeel Levi.

Elfman Evergreen.

Happy Charlu.

Naltsu´s lovelife will get teased till the end! The last arc will tell if it´s Lucy or Lisanna.

Not worth to get mad about it, and yes there will be people.
I can confirm for 80% that Natsu will end up with Lucy knowing Hiro.

Everyone may debate and dismantle my claims and/or add their own preidctions.
Just be sure to add evidence.

Talking about your list, I disagree with some of it.
Laxus and Mira showed 0 romantic interest. At least I don't remember seeing any.


My personal favorite ship is
Zeref X Mavis.

1. Im pretty sure they had a whole scen when he got sick in tarturous. Idk if its grounds for a ship. Read over it if u like its not lomg after he got sick.

2. Thats a really great ship and i gotta agree its the best. 1 problem. Mavis is dead and Zeref is cursed, so apparently even if she is revived he kills her with love (maybe not now since Hades pissed him off). First we gota revive mavis then get rid of Zeref curse.

Sparteh said:


Still, resurrection is possible. Natsu is living proof of that. Also don't forget, they have NAKAMA power. Nakama power > everything else. I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way to fix everything.

I doubt that's gonna happen though. It's more likely Zeref will die and finally get reunited with Mavis and move on like he always wanted. Zeref is too bipolar at this point to go back to living like a normal person

Isterio said:


Suns it up, would be pointless to bring eiter of them back.
We may see them both as apparitions though, for a final farewell.
Maybe even with a mature Mavis body, would be nice to see that, to somewhat make the ship less uncomfortable.

Anyway they´ll probably be united in death, as they´re the Romeo&Juliet of this series.

natsu has no apologized to lucy yet so no pairing
lucy has more selfworth then that

metsujin said:

He did bring the guild back together for her...

trump54 said:


He didn't do it just for her he did it for himself to and for everyone in the guild to be back together
Because while natsu care about Lucy what he wants is important to

The filler in the anime tend to fram things in a strange point of view are we suppose to believe natsu wouldn't go crazy and reach for any of his other friends in the guild
We saw him do it for Ezra, we saw him do it for gray, Lucy just ends up in peril a lot more often and needs protection, its less about how much he cares and how needy she was early on

Natsu may be end but he is as he believes to be a human boy living with normal people for most of his life, so why his character can't show a clear hint of a crush on a Lucy is so stupid. He is not like goku or anything, and Lucy sure as hell ain't no chichi so for this pairing to ever be real Natsu gonna have to make some kind of move.

Sooner rather then later because someone else just might

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I don't particularly like Gray and Juvia. Only because of how obsessed she is and the way she throws herself at him. It makes her look kinda pathetic. Good for a laugh every now and then, I will admit. But I think she's a bit too emotionally dependent on him. If it weren't for that, I'd probably be a huge fan.

Isterio said:


I didn´t made this thread to express opinions in taste towards the pairings.else it would degrade into a listing thread.

If you think the writing doesn´t make them appeal like the canon pairing feel free to argue against them, or come up with other pairings you think have been teased more believeable in your opinion.
Just no listing please or spamming please.

Isterio said:


There is canon material teasing both pairings.
Natsu and Lisanna and Natsu and Lucy.

Lucy´s closeness to him get´s teased more because of higher screentime and he technically refused Lisanna in an awkward manner similar to Goku.

Lisanna´s affection was openly adressed and Lucy has already thought of them as a couple,but Natsu just wanted her for treasure, so he is technically shown to be asexual at this point and turned her down unknowingly.
He´s seen both several times naked.

Anyway the guys within every ship are written as being either extremely shy, tsunderes or openly annoyed by the females affection.
The one exception to that is Happy where Charlu is the tsundere and Jellal who has other things on his mind.

Like I said don´t expect anything big before the final arc and be prepared for trolling, like a few chapters ago with naked Gajeel landing on levi and similar bullshit.

Ship I have a high distate towards, but that Hiro seems to be pushing.

Mest and Wendy possible , but hopefully not.

trump54 said:


Let us pray Wendy and Mets never happen unless she waits for him or something but ehhh......

Laxus and Mirajane ? While i see them together, i didn't think they'd have their place in a canon pairings list, yeah they had some small moments AFAIR but nothing as big as the others. It's been a while since i started the manga since i read chapters each weak since quite a while ago so there are things i don't remember much, i think i started the manga like 4 years ago. Can someone give me scans of times where we see Laxus/Mirajane moments ? I would like to see that. I'm not much of a shipper myself but Gray/Juvia moments are great, maybe i just like to see Juvia happy but their moments are IMO the best romantic moments in the series. I liked the Zeref/Mavis moments even though i hate Zeref.

FoxyKitsune said:
There's only been little chemistry between Laxus and Mira but I don't think they're going in that direction.

And Gray x Juvia seems one-sided, even though that might not be the case now. Gray x Ultear was a 1000 times better though. Dammit, why did she have to die? :(

Isterio said:


Shounen are simple minded written, when one character desires true love they get rewarded for it.

However Hiro Mashima was never that bad with his writing, you get the relationships he wants to write and Ultear and Gray´s relationship always written as a siblinglike relationship.

Chaos-King said:
It is bad that I ship Natsu with Erza? The way they act sometimes look more like something lovers would do rather than siblins. But I had always like then to be together even more after the Tower of Heaven arc.
I do ship ZerefxMavis and GajeelxLevy.
Don't like Lucy and Jellal so will abstain of making any comments about then to avoid problems.
But I think LucyxLoke

Isterio said:


This is fine for you to ship. I´m not a shipping Nazi, everyone can write fanfiction for himself and has his own headcanon. The point of this thread was to summarize rationally all the couples of the series and discuss possibilities since it´s a prevelant theme of the manga.

People seem to care more about that than anything else. So if you find reasonable scenes that fit your ship you may quote them and use them for your arguments sake, i just wanna avoid it from becoming a listing thread where everyone writes down who he ships. The why is more interesting to know.
