If there's one thing to learn in FT, it's never to piss of Gildarts.

On the other side, it looks like Larcade arrived at Natsu vs Zeref's fight. Gildarts really is a wonderful father though.

Poor August, I really felt for him!

Maybe if Zeref knew about him he would've done things differently in his life, a child can alter a person's existence that's for sure! As for Larcade, RIP to you!

On a side note, Zeref is still a terribly boring villain in my book.

The way Precht described August as the child with immense power between light and dark, sounds like he had a solid backstory to be the MC tbh.
And gotta love how the power the parental bond gave gildarts brain cells in this scenario to figure out what is supposed to be the best magician ever's power.

I have to admit that August being the son of Mavis and Zeref was a good plot twist. Probably one of the best of the arc, and very few people saw coming (unlike Irene being Erza's mother). Too bad

Also, gotta feel for Larcade. He just wanted to help his father (technically Zeref is his father, as he created him), only to be beaten like a rag doll by him. It made me feel bad in the manga, and so it did in the anime.

August never told his father Zeref his true identity though and also he could learn from Gildarts like become a father himself to learn how to love a child perhaps?

but ye this is fiction and still great episode especially some sakuga on it

FINALLY something interesting. They sure are milking this final season. It's been pretty bad so far, especially the several episodes of Natsu unconscious being an idiot in his own head. The pacing was always slow, but even the battles are boring now.

When you feel in your guts, you are the child of someone but this someone can't give a rat's a** about you, beats the hell out of you, calling you nothing but a trash and saying "I have no child", that hurts. Even if i've already read the manga, that really hurts when animated. Damn, i feel terrible about Rakheid.

Being the most powerful wizard, more than 400 year-old and not able to find out the child near to him is his own kind. Zeref must be nothing but rotten inside. Yeah, i'm still pissed about his behavior with Rakheid.

Halfway through this episode I was thinking as to how larcade could be so young considering he was born when Precht was young and this was how it turned out, makes sense... honestly though, the best thing about fairy tail is Zeref & Mavis' relationship.

But anyway, larcade is a demon, damn, hecwas one of the few characters that I wanted to see having a redemption phase -mainly because of the assumed relationship to Mavis. That didn't end well.

In any case, another 12 member was defeated... talk no jutsu is really annoying sometimes.

Finally the truth is out. August had to live on as an aide to his father all this time without ever getting to know the love of a parent. Though he did not receive it, surely did he stand as a father figure for Brandish. The mighty fall for the ones they hold dear.

This was a very good episode. Pretty nice revelation about August's relationship and boy, parts of his past that were shown during the fight hit in the feels.

Also poor Larcade.

I actually found this episode very emotional. The part where Larcade found out his true identity, August trying to understand why no one ever loved him and Gildarts ready to do anything to keep Cana safe... all very moving.

However, one question: Is Fairy Tail basically saying that Mavis got pregnant from KISSING Zeref? Cause if that's the case i think someone needs to tell Hiro Mashima that isn't how that shit works haha

Gotta admit - for a (usually) pretty predictable show, they caught me totally off-guard with that twist! I fell completely for the idea that Larcade was Zeref & Mavis’s son - never crossed my mind it could possibly be August, even when he was “remembering”. I just thought he was still trying to understand why Zeref never loved Larcade! LOL Well-done, Fairy Tail, well-done!

So that explains why August is so powerful and its a shame that Zeref child was standing next to him the whole time. Mavis is finally getting some screen time again. I really liked this episode compared to the previous ones because I felt like the fights were taking forever to finish. It was one of the reasons why I dropped the manga. I starting to like the new ED and the final season of FT had some good EDs so far.

I can't stop saying, "Wow!" Halfway through I started wondering why Larcade was so young looking. Then I decided he spelled himself. I thought 'maybe August is the real Larcade and his son' as a joke. Great twist. Zeref is a little thick headed though.

They are magic. Maybe this is how it works for them. This is Mavis and Zeref's way.

Holy shit, that Gildarts fight was great. The moment where he protected Canna was nice as well. Music was fantastic. I actually haven't realized up until now how good Zeref's voice actor is. He does a good job of capturing Zeref's personality and slight insanity. Larcade's is good too. This ep felt really short to me, for some reason.

Yeah but they confessed their love for each other, kissed and then she immediately 'died' in his arms... so where was the time to do the naughty deed? haha

Actually, there was a lot of narration and "blank" screen between the kiss and the "death". It's definitely implied it happened then

August actually being Zeref’s child was a nice twist.

Gildarts minor fake out felt painfully unnecessary but I do like the way they’re fighting back against August now.

A surprisingly decent episode overall.

Acknologia was a bit slow there when he got knocked by the Blue Pegasus ship. He could've just pounced on the ship as they were lifting. Idk, I was bothered by that scenelmao. Still such an amazing show nonetheless. Anyways, I believe Mavis and Zeref actually had an "intimate" night. Mavis was just leaving out what she deems "unnecessary information". In the end, it was pretty crucial.

Fairy Tail fights were SOOO GOOD back in the earlier seasons. The only reason why they are bad now is because they had a studio change.

Gildarts & Cana vs August was badass... until it wasn't, but I'm not going to talk about that. I will say that contrasting Gildarts' and Cana's relationship with Zeref's relationship to Larcade and August was very poetic.

Zeref's entire character is crazy to me. It's easy to be bitter at Zeref and write him off as a generic villain, but he has a 400 year history of conditioning himself to be as detached from humanity and empathy as possible because he literally has no other choice. What would happen if Zeref knew he had a child? Could Zeref love him? His child would surely die. If not... then what? Would that have been any better for August?

The same could be said of Larcade, couldn't it? Are Zeref's "demons" immune to Zeref's curse of contradiction? I'd guess not. Maybe someone could write this off as abusing a plot convenience to paint Zeref in a bad light. I don't know. This is a fascinating concept for me.

That was a really good -- and excellently directed -- plot twist.

I managed to get tricked there. When you thought Larcade was his son, it was actually August. Now that's mind blowing to think about. Both of the parents looks younger than their son. Hahaha

It's funny to see that the kiss killed Mavis, but it's really retard to think that they didn't kiss once during their inter****** and that this didn't have any nullifying effect on either of them. That's really funny and very retarded written. ^^

Gildarts is a epic father figure and he fight August very nice, but no way he will die. It's strange to think that someone have actually died in this series. ^^

Gildarts attacks August.
Larcade.
Larcade appears before them.
There's another life inside Mavis while in the lacrima?
Zeref attacks Larcade.
Gildarts protected Cana.
Dat stomp.
Zeref has no children?
Larcade is a demon from the book of Zeref.
Mavis has a child... and Zeref is the father?
The baby. A cross between light and dark?
Precht dumped it.
It learned about Zeref and Mavis from its memory.
It met Zeref.
August is the child of Zeref and Mavis.
Zeref didn't realize he had a child.
Dat ending.

Wow. Did not expect August to be Zeref's son. When Larcade pleasured everyone, Mashima made it look like August was referring to Mavis being Larcade's mother. So that's why August was staring at Natsu. Natsu didn't even know he met his own nephew. Zeref banged Mavis lifeless body. Boss!

2 chapters. No blood when Zeref stomped on Larcade.

It was a surprise for me! So the real son was August! But for me it's kinda odd, I mean, I know Mavis was adult, but it seems like in the 1st time she kissed Zeref she turned asleep.
