Fairy Tail Chapter 495 Discussion

What's the reason for big shounens to rush the final war? They could have paced the enemies/battles and made it way longer.
At least it's not as bad as toriko where they made like 20 super revelation chapters in a row

Toriko has war? Isn't that manga about food?

Looked through the Spriggans and made another observation.
There are exactly 5 left that haven´t been beaten through Fairy Tail, yet.

1. August
2. Irene
3. God Serena
4. Larcade
5. Invel

They are also the ones that are labelled strongest among them with the exception of Invel who is Zeref´s secretary.

I give each of them one chapter of Spotlight, that´ll lead to Chapter 500 where something big will be introduced or it´ll be concluded.
What´s confusing is the fact that the group was called Spriggan 12 before Serena joined.
Did Hiro consider that.
Zeref called himself a Spriggan in his flasback.
Is he the 13th?Is there another Bluenote that will randomly get introduced who trumps the Sprigggans power?
Doesn´t Hiro bother with semantics and just throws random numbers on the drawing board?

Nice chapter!
It is always a nostalgic feeling seeing Team Natsu fighting together. It was short and only fodder yes, but i still liked it and having the others join them made it even better.


I'm really happy that Serena is back. The way he is acting for a powerful dude is hilarious. xD
You can't but like this fabulous idiot with his loreal hair. He's also the reason we finally got papa Gildarts back!
I knew his entrance will badass. I'm so hyped to see both of them giving us a dope fight and Gildarts finally showing what he's really capable of.

To be frank I think Serena is just mid-tier among the Spriggans. I don't see how he can fare better than the ones with hax like Dimaria (and before someone tells me she was beaten by lolis, remember her best ability was completely countered and she was put against a heavy disadvantage against someone who was her slayer and received a power-up through an asspull -_-)

Do you think chapter 500 could be Acnologia coming back or an END awakening?

Isterio said:

Well thanks that you´ve brought up the term "hax", that makes it easier to explain. The inherent flaw with hax abilities is that they require a natural counter that nullifies them or overwrites them. Since they are hax and don´t play by the rules they can only be beaten by either an even stronger hax ability or something that is a direct counter to them. The same way Dimaria had to be nullified by Ultear. While God Serena is a straightforward fighter and in a regular brawl I´d put my money on him judging by Hiros buildup.

Let me use more popular example eveyone most people in the Anime fandom know and many close minded people consider the most OP ability of all.
The Deathnote, which is a 1hit kill ability. Although this ability is utterly haxed and could kill characters like Goku or Frieza.
Nonetheless this ability is completely worthless against a character like Alucard who has stacked 1ups and can ressurect himself on a whim.
Now Dimaria and other Hax characters have the same issues, depending on the authors Hiro´s mood he can just declare Erza´s Nakagami armor a timespace counter (which he already did) and let her speedblitz Dimaria because her Hax made her sloppy in her combat.
Same applies to Jacob. He had a haxed ability but it was countered by Brandis´s underling because his ability was an anti hax.

On your question, one of the two, maybe both, maybe it´s the chapter the Spriggans are beaten and Zeref declares to go all out and show Natsu "despair".
I only assume that the Spriggans will be dealth with by then. As this is one of Hiro´s favorite moves. Rush through the Elite squad and get to the fight with the main antagonist that may or may not be satisfying.

TheUltimateOne said:


I get your point but how will Serena deal with Age Seal?

Isterio said:


Good point, but that´s where the bullshit kicks in and Hiro could pull two options out of his ass.

1. He´s an Age dragon slayer too! A power from a Dragon capable of manipulating time.
2. The,If you have enough magical power you can nulify someone elses ability trope!


You know this ability? It´s Suì-Fēng Shikai Suzumebachi and it´s ability is a two hit deathstrike. You get hit by it twice on the same spot and you die 100%, without exception.

Guess what happened when this guy got hit by it twice?

My power is too magnificient therefore this ability doesnt wotk on me!


Deal with it!

Option 3: The logical one. She would win against him specifically due to hax, but because she can be outhaxed by Fairy Tail she loses.
Option 4: The other logical one. She gets Speedblitzed like Acnologia Speedblitzed Serena before she can activate her ability.

Ghostini said:
Finally Gildarts is back! Now here's to hoping he makes quick work of three or four of these Spriggan who were already defeated so he can battle it out with August.
