Did Mashima intend the Fairy Tail sequel? “No.” It was the decision of “corporate.” “When I was working on the original series, it never occurred to me to have a sequel.” To be clear, the 100 Years Quest is no less a labor of pride for Mashima. “So the storyboarding and storyline development is all by me. There are moments where I even surprise him [Atsuo Ueda] in the direction where the story goes.” https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2024/hiro-mashima-confesses-that-fairy-tail-was-born-out-of-his-loneliness/.216924

confirmed the manga publisher is just milking the cash cow

True! but that was a good decision in my opinion if it wasn´t for the publisher
we wouldn´t see Natsu´s character development in the sequel, the way the original series ended was meh
at least 100 Years Quest has Story planning and a direction , that´s a huge step up compared to Original Fairy Tail

This was no news tho. For those who followed interviews regarding 100YQ, Mashima said from even before the first chapter came out that the sequel wasnt his idea. He wasnt keen to do it and originally, he wasnt even supposed to do the story because he didnt want to. Then he changed his mind for the story only.

@MiraStraussFan99 What character development? Maybe up until Aldoron but Natsu regresses immensely as a character afterwards. So much so that he is now just a cartoon protagonist who defeats the bad guy quickly. The japanese fandom is not pleased with him either hence why he keeps falling behind on popularity polls while characters like Lucy and Selene are top 1 and 2.

Still more soul in 100 yr quest than the shitty saint seiya "sequel" that's lasting longer than the entire saint seiya franchise did
Or the supposed bleach sequel that's coming soon
It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime.
Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others

@SakuraUchiha2313 Before I say anything further are you caught up in the manga?

about the popularity poll to be fair it´s expected because so many people love Lucy

And Selene a female dragon

I don´t think Natsu will ever reach top 1 even if Mashima made Natsu´s personality much more mature & different from his usual self

also when Natsu is very low in the two 100 YQ polls the 2022 one and the recent one 2024 Mashima still gave him a lots of moments

Number 5 is a alright number in my opinion , the people just like the other characters more
