Fairy tail 373 shows a hint of the future as Zeref’s appearance mentions Natsu will carry on Igneel’s will and fight Tartarus leader, E.N.D., to which even Zeref believes that Natsu will defeat. Wendy reads that Face weapon has been activated and has 41 minutes until it goes off wiping all magic. Sayla finds Mirajane to which she mentions Elfman’s disobedience has cost her loyalship towards Kyouka. She mentions she’ll take Lisanna for this.
Fairy Tail 373 begins as Natsu notices Zeref standing in front of him. Zeref mentions that the Tartarus guild is composed of demons that he’s created, it’s what is known as him. He didn’t create the guild itself but he also created the master E.N.D.. It’s the person Igneel wanted to kill Natsu mentions. Zeref mentions that he couldn’t kill him.
Natsu jumps into action mentioning that he’ll whoop his ass and carry on his old man’s will. He strikes the sword he had but doesn’t seem to do any damage as it is vaporised from where it was cut. Zeref mentions that he might just be able to do it. Zeref tells him to remember one thing, Igneel could not kill him, which is the most powerful of all demons he created. Soon Natsu will be faced with the very same decision.
Life or Death, the choice is his. Zeref then quickly mentions that he’s going to lave. Natsu mentions that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Zeref mentions that Tartarus guild is doing a lot just to meet him, however his visits do not seem very fair as they don’t get to meet him. Zeref then mentions that when someone does arrive to meet him, will it be Natsu or E.N.D. he mentions.
Time within that place starts again, Natsu doesn’t understand what had just happened. Everyone notices Erza and cheer for her, they can’t tell her the full story, Erza mentions that Natsu and Lisanna are okay, all that are left is Mirajane and Elfman. Elfman understands whats going on and quickly goes to help Mirajane.
Erza is once again captured by an unhurt Kyouka to which she mentions that she’ll be okay with the fight and she can go help the others, telling Lucy. Erza mentions that the Face seal has been released, to which they must find a way to stop it. Erza tells Kyouka that it seems that she hasn’t gotten sick of her yet to which Kyouka mentions that she’s growing on her.
Lisanna looks for Mirajane to which she quickly finds her. She explains that Natsu, Erza, Elfman and her got caught, the others are safe, only Elfman seems to be left. Sayla appears mentioning that Elfman has not been caught. Lisanna tells Mirajane that she can control people.
Sayla mentions that Elfman was given the order to blow up the Fairy Tail HQ, to which it worked but no one was killed. She finds this a failure as it shamed Kyouka. For destroying and ruining her reputation, she will be taking Lisanna as compensation. Mirajane looks at her as though she’s crazy, she won’t let such a thing happen.
At the Super Archive, Franmalth mentions that the Face weapon has appeared somewhere where it was not expected. Franmalth hears a voice and hides, Lucy and Wendy and the others enter. They look at the numbers to find a countdown rolling, it’s mentioned that they have 41 Minutes until Face launches.
Keith appears behind them mentioning that their despairs are chimes to him. He mentions hat their magic will breathe new life into the Earth. He mentions that they have fallen into hades, they shall become corpses and drift away in purgatory. Lucy and Wendy don’t seem to be taking him seriously. Fairy Tail 373 ends here.
A pretty cool chapter with some good bits, the chapters are certainly moving faster and it seems a lot of things are happening which is certainly awesome. And giving Fairy Tail only 41 minutes to save the world is not a lot, thus I can’t wait for next week’s Fairy Tail 374, titled “Revolution” to see what happens next!

igneel couldn’t kill END, what would natsu do. did the humans realy surpass the dragons? man indeed things are moving fast to my liking. on top of that why is zeref instructing natsu? or why it seems like he is indirectly helping him. zeref is truely powerful being able to freeze time, create a demon that can not be killed by one of the strongest Dragon and being able to vaporize anything that touches him. haha he is aizen number 2, wen he was attack by Don kanoji. all in all it was an interesting manga, things are about to get ugly. 41 minutes it kinda little to do some damage against such powerful opponents, my guest is the face will go off bt some1 in the fairytale will have to sacrifice themselves to avoid the after effect.

Zeref’s wish is to die, however when someone tries to do so they fail. Thats why he wants Natsu to live and to get the power to defeat Zeref and end his misery. Elfman sacrifice himself?

no elfman is still alive, he was just possessed and under mind control so that he can go to fairytail headquarters to plant a bomb. but he was caught by cana so after the bomb was planted by elf she quickly trap everyone into her cards including herself and elfman and told happy to fly away quickly. he is still alive it’s only the headquarters which were destroyed. I think zeref’s death will be boring if he will just give himself like that to be killed. is he not goin to fight back at all?

“If my being here does not alter the future Natsu’s death will mean I will forever live in despair. He’s the only one with the potential to congruously end my life. I do not wish to fight him. However, my power of death activates regardless of my will. It’s my defense mechanism, but I will try to lead Natsu to its weakness. Albeit, I am hoping he will figure it out on his own. So long as I Iive my curse will remain everlasting. …His death destroyed me. I could not bare it. I hate how this defense mechanism of mine protects my immortality. He’s the only hero in my parable and I believe my decision to travel back in time will provide my desired salvation.”

I feel like when they said igneel couldn’t kill E.N.D. I think it means that igneel didn’t have the guts to kill the demon
LikeLike
That could be true, but I got another feeling from this, I thought that E.N.D.’s magic is somehow different that it gives the person (igneel) two choices. To kill or be killed, or something on that line. Maybe Igneel didn’t want to die and thus tries to kill but he was unsuccessful. I think this theory sounds a lot better in my head lol

I forgot about how zeref mentioned thqt igneel had a choice

Well it highly depends on how END’s power works. Igneel is one of the most powerful dragon’s, it’s hard to believe that he was defeated by a demon.

E.N.D = Evil Natsu Dragneel. So i think Natsu has another personality which is END and it could also be the reason why Dragneel refused to kill him and abandoned him. Lol.

*mind blown* I had never thought it in this way! What if it is him, or is Natsu’s future self? Or his Future Demon self, like Silver could be Natsu from future?…

hmmm interesting, by I found it high unlikely. 1 if indeed END=Evil Natsu Dragneel, that mins that this personality of natsu being devil was created by zeref, since END is a demon from the book of zeref. so that will imply that natsu is actually a demon himself since we dnt no his biological parents bt I’m pretty sure that natsu is a human.
2 I dnt think igneel abandon natsu bcos of anything related to END. Though I dnt no that myself bt I can safely say it was not bcos of it since also Wendy and gajeel’s dragons left in the same year and month. I think they left for some other reasons.
3 I strongly blive that the fight between igneel and END accrued long b4 natsu was born. this is my opinion in this matter.
lastly I dnt think silver could be natsu of the future since silver smells like gray
