Fairy Tail Chapter 437 Discussion

Loved this chapter. So touching. I absolutely adore chapters like this one that are packed with emotion without any fighting. The guild dynamics are always very sweet to look at.

I'm sure Makarov has a very valid reason for what he did. Assuming he's still alive, he may or may not return to the guild, but curious as to whether Mavis will show up soon.

I really don't want Natsu to be guild master as he doesn't have the mental capacity for it. I don't really mind if it's Lucy, but that's highly unlikely as well. I'd say the most likely, since Gildarts isn't here, are Erza and Laxus who hasn't shown up yet. When Makarov thought about the future guildmaster, he'd considered both but found Erza too young and inexperienced and he was having issues with Laxus' attitude so who knows.

inb4 Mavis has her body back and she's the new Guildmaster.

Laxus fits all those points. If Lucy works for Natsu,he can fit all of those as well. Lucy lacks some confidence in herself and that is detrimental. However,if Natsu is with her,I am sure she can do the job.

Also,being a leader is different from being the heart of a group.

Honestly,Laxus originally wanted to be the guildmaster at any cost,even if he had to do so by force. I wouldn't be surprised if Laxus (post caracter development) refused the job if the others nominated him. It would make a nice contrast. Laxus seems more like a guardian,instead of a leader.

Well,you guys know how important the number seven is in this manga,right? This is probably why Macao was considered the fourth master despite not have been chosen by Makarov and why Mashima did that joke with Gildarts as the fifth and Makarov as the sixth (when makarov could have simply reused his title as the third master)

The problem is, who is gonna bring her back?

metsujin said:


Agreed, which is weird. Maybe it had something do to with him, not having the courage to use Lumen Histoire?? Also Lucy for next master xD Troll of the year Happy the 7th master.

Damn felt like they discovered America, with the flag at the end and shit.

Jarjaxle said:

Yeah, I kind actually now hope it is Lucy...She is the One that seek them...with Natsu help sure, but still it was her that, by Cana's Words, was Icebreaker!

Crips said:


I don't think the term "Icebreaker" would be the effective word to use for Lucy's "Guild master appearance". When Cana said that I think she meant it in a way that Lucy always brings back everyone together from being 'broken apart'. In terms related to she also helps out with the guild a lot in her case.

Read the mangastream translation. It's not Icebreaker there

1. Laxus knows fairy law and most people think of him as the heir.... plus his attitude has changed so much that he would be mature enough to handle the position. And he is protective of everyone in fairy tail as demonstrated by the comment at the end of tartarus about failing to protect the ones he cares for and what he said when ppl got hurt in GMG; plus if his memory was not wiped he might still know a bit about the LH because he learned about it during the GMG

THE PROBLEMS: Since he beat Jura so easily, he might be one of the wizard saints running the council now; OR he also might be doing something with his grandfather because he did not return this chapter and I was surprised he didn't step up and create a new fairy tail after the disbandment; really if he doesn't return next chapter than he won't be a candidate


2. Mira knows about running a guild and has the power to back up her position. Plus I think guild masters do not normally go out on jobs because they are busy running a business (the guild), going to guild master conferences, running to council meetings, negotiating, making connections, and being informed on the world. The story could afford for her take on all that responsibility. Plus we need a new female master.
-to me she is the best qualified

3. Cana knows fairy glitter (or at least Mavis gave it to her twice); she sits around the guild hall all the time anyway..... plus being Gildart's daughter... she might have some power she hasn't tapped into.... Mavis spoke about her during GMG in the anime... and her dad could come back and tell her about FT's secrets... plus she is really smart.... and caring.... we just don't usually see it because of the booze.................................................... sober up girl!!!!!!

4. Erza has the qualities of a leader and a manager. Look how she used Gray to infiltrate avatar.... Like Mira she probably has a bit of experience helping to run a guild, but she spent more time on jobs than Mira so she might not be as good. She definitely has the power. Plus with Gray and Natsu powering up and getting connections to the main bad guys.... Ersa hasn't had really any new revelations or development. It might be so she can be the guild master.
THE PROBLEMS: She might be a criminal now if she works with Jellal. Is she one of the saints? If so than she might be with Laxus running things............... Taking Erza out of team Natsu might cause more problems than good. When Natsu and Gray fight who will stop them?
Sidenote: It has been mentioned twice that Lucy is like Ersa with her star dresses (lamina scale and later Natsu)...................... Maybe it is setting up for Lucy to take her place...... Plus that spin off is about Lucy and Erza..... maybe Erza trained Lucy some in the past year.................

5. Doranbolt knows about the LH if he didn't wipe his own memories of it. He also has the connections to the council and army that could come in handy. Plus he seems to have some interesting powers where he could maintain the master position

6. Natsu has the heart and power. He is a leader but he is not an administrator. This would be bad unless he designated tasks to Lucy, Mira, and Levi....... I can't see him accomplishing anything. The guild would also probably be broke. And as I said earlier guild masters can go on missions but are probably to busy...... Why you think Gildarts didn't want the responsibility? And Natsu is kinda like him. The saying "walk softy and carry a big stick" is not usually his forte. In a week, everyone would probably be at war with fairy tail.

7. Lucy has the heart and brains. I am not sure about her power yet... She did go up some in the last year but still seems to be behind everyone else. I think Lucy would be a great guild master in the future or maybe at the end of the series.... if FT survives..... She also reminds me of Mavis for some strange reason..... maybe the blonde hair and the crying.................

8. Levi..... She could be a tactician like Mavis. You saw how she calculated Tartarus position. And if Gajeel was always with her............................ Gale :)

9. Gajeel........................ I. Would. DIE!!! LMAO! Plus like Natsu he could assign tasks to Levi......

10. Gildarts could come back as a temporary person

11. Mavis could come back and be an unofficial master. Or she could teach the new person if it was someone like Mira, Cana, or Lucy.

12. Gray.................... just no

13. Juvia..................... bigger no

Isterio said:
Waaay too cheesy for my taste. I thought I may vomit raibows after seeing this, especially the fact that Lucy was required to explain the names of all the members no one gives a fuck about.

Ps: Lucy and Lissana look the same now, forced Love triangle inspired by Master Kishi incoming.

Lisanna has pigtails!

clintonmadara said:
i wish erza was the next guild master

Darklight0303 said:


After coming up with the stupid idea of infiltrating Avatar and not even thinking of checking up on Juvia since she wasn't the one infiltrating in the first place? No way. Mirajane for life

clintonmadara said:

Mira doesn't even have the qualities of a leader.She's friendly and powerful but she lack the power to lead which makes her unfit for a leader.She has lots of flaws that lack the character of leadership.

What is funny is that on this site they have Natsu listed with the Guild Masters list.

Honestly Lucy would be the best pick for guild master. She was raised to deal with paper work and such. She is the image of loyalty for friends. She knows when to make a difficult choice. She is also "The light of the fairy's". I mean come on.
Also I think that first guild master was hidden like that because she's a black wizard. Read fairy tail zero. Zeref trained her in black magic.
I also think that's Lucy would be a better master because if natus does go crazy when he finds out the truth Lucy may be the only one that can stop him.

Lucy For Guild Master :)

But Gildarts already was chosen by Mavarick wasn't he? :O

Flashoftheback said:
i think at this point Mira will be the forerunner for the next GM, then perhaps Erza or even they will not have GM for a while and search Makarov instead.

But i want it Laxus if he came back by next few chapter(s), the lad deserve it. At least he seems can be a good leader and on a starter he already has "Fairy Law", then Mira can spank his as* if he planning to do something stupid. But still, i am thinking Makarov whereabouts or what his problem is probably came first before FT complete revival.
