what loose ends do you have in mind?

even if there are loose ends its more of a let the fans/viewers/readers fill in the gap of the story tactic and its part of any story writing
Well besides the obvious shipping stuff, a big one I've always wondered was Ankseram, as well as the other "gods." I believe one other god was introduced, but its crusty ass got waisted easily.

God slaying magic was introduced into the story, but all it was ever used for was to give the Dragon slayers a bit more of a challenge. Mashima didn't even bother to justify its existence. Really want to see what the significance of its black color (nod to Zeref but it's a nod and nothing more).

Fairy Heart was never really fleshed out, and ended up being useless besides being hyped up for 200 chapters. I want to know more about it.

Is Natsu completely human now? Are there any repercussions at all? Again, Mashima didn't bother with verifying the state of Natsu's being.

Aquarious' key. The English scans aren't out yet, but from the spoilers it looks like they're going on a 100 year quest and her key isn't mentioned? As far as I know right now it's still up in the air.

Urano Mentira mentions Tetrabiblos as ruler of the stars. Who is that? Is it the Spirit King? This is another being I really hoped Mashima would clarify or introduce, with the other being Ankseram.

There's probably more if I bother to keep remembering back far enough.


there is english scanlations out now btw courtesy of YonkouProductions

Ankseram seems to be just contradictory curse and it was use good by Mavis to defeat Zeref so nothing more to it

as for the rest all that seems to me you are expecting more other than just accepting what the story gives, im sure you will hate Bleach manga more then since a lot of Bankai for example was not shown and fans are forgetting the business side of things too like Bleach manga declining sales so it was end prematurely, so you got to ask is Fairy Tail manga still has increasing sales? its not only the mangaka that is at fault

I must admit that this final arc was lackluster in terms of proper story telling but it definitely did not lack any drama or action. The power of friendship is this series' bread and butter since Day One so expecting something different is practically telling the author to change his views. Like Fairy Tail, Hiro stuck with his ideals which I applaud him for that even if it doesn't make exceptional stories.
It really can make exceptional stories though. Take HxH for example. The bromance between Gon and Killua runs deep. Even the avenger Kurapika put his revenge scheme on hold for the sake of his friends. Leorio is a goddamn sweetheart. The four of them would fight to the death for each other. Most importantly, Togashi knows not to rely on that.

I'm not saying you can't like Fairy Tail. I liked it once too. Tartaros was good, as was the early arcs. GMG was meh though, thanks to Sting. It's just that Mashima really doesn't know how to write. He can draw though. Pretty damn well.

But it could have been soooooo good though. That's why it sucks. All these things I'm throwing out could have made for awesome stories.

You're right in that the hype train for this series ran harder than Mashima was willing to put out.

It was a very appropriate ending for Fairy Tail, regardless of the questionable quality of the last few arcs. Forever going to be salty about how he failed Irene's & Kyouka's characters. So much potential, so much failure. FT has never been about ships or romance. I fully expected a time skip with marriage and babies, as per shounen formula. And I'm glad it steered away from it.


^ This is what Fairy Tail has always been about. Friendship and adventuring.
I appreciate shounen manga ending with fanservice, but it isn't necessary all the time. And in this case, this was an acceptable ending.

Pairings were confirmed in a not-in-your-face-over-the-top manner. A never ending adventure fits the series. Whether he does a generations or not, the set-up is there and it's entirely up to him.

I'd rather not see a Boruto-esque Generations though, and I'm perfectly content at having the franchise end here.

This series was always a fun pick-me-up, feel good adventure for me. It was never meant to be anything inherently deep. As such, I appreciate and enjoy it for what it was, flaws and all.

I know Hiro Mashima really work hard. But seriously he's absolutely the worst, he's a fucking coward by not making any death, timeskip where they have kids, only teasing the fucking ship, villain got defeated easily by NAKAMA bullshit. And wtf a 100 year quest??!! Nice one Hiro bravo u the worst. Since Fairy Tail was quite enjoyable at first, I'm kindly give this a 6/10

I know A LOT of people would not want this, but I feel like Mashima's new work might continue into the Fairy Tail world. There are loose ends that weren't tied up (Aquarius's key probably being the biggest one), and it could be addressed in his new work. It could be a timeskip, like how Naruto did Boruto.

Honestly, I mostly just want this cause I want to see concrete Nalu. I stopped really caring about the plot a once Natsu woke up from his coma and said he wasn't END anymore because he chose to be human. If there was one thing Mashima was good at though, it was making me care about the characters. So after all those Natsu and Lucy teases and the trolling, we get THAT?! I'll admit I was angry and severely disappointed.

But nonetheless, despite my gripes and the admittedly lackluster writing, it did what I want a story to do. Make me care about the characters and what will happen to them. It was a great ride and I'm genuinely looking forward to Mashima's next work, whatever it may be, Fairy Tail universe or not.

Seeing the random Zeref and Mavis look a like/ghost was so random and unnecessary.

Most ships never set sailed but at least best ship Gajeel x Levy did. Natsu essentially friend zoned himself LOL

Despite how bad the final arc was I'm sad to see this series end.
Didn't Gajeel at one point torture Levy?

8 years for me, 4 years in Anime, 4 years in Manga. Thank you for the memories Hiro.

like the others, MEH in overall, where you got only OP NAKAMA PAWA in finale, both OHKO for Acno and Zeref onii-chan but still, it just good to see this manga finally end.

At least no plot twist, normal ship. 1 thing that missed is f*cking キッス
Arghhh

Last word : That hole when you finish some series :)

I started reading this series around 2011 (I began watching the anime at the time too).

Well...this was quite a journey. I must say, it's one of those series I follow weekly despite how bad the final arc turned out to be. The final chapter was actually better than I had thought. Twice the length with over 40 pages and it gave some details about the other guilds in the aftermath of the war.

Would it save to say that Mavis and Zeref look-a-likes were the reincarnation of their past selves? Hard to say....

Anyways, I wish the final arc was better but this final chapter was what I had expected. I'll miss this series though but certainly not the past 10-20 chapters.

Finally it's ended and that is the best what happened in this manga at this point. Wanted to say so much (bad) stuff, but whatever, i'll just say that this is the first manga that made me hate some chapters and mb characters ... Started mb at 8 or 7, but i should give it a 5 in the end, still think that FT had really good moments a long time ago. It is a speculation that the new Hiro's work might be continuation/tied to FT world and well that's not a really good sign ...

I started watching the anime in 2011. I definitely loved it! Then I started reading the manga about 2 years ago. And now it ends..

I always thought it was going to be as great as One Piece, or Bleach, or at least like Naruto. It had potential. Then I realized in this last arc, that it was crap.

I wish Hiro had asked for help when he got bored of his manga. The writing is simply terrible, and most of the times it doesn't make any sense. What we got in this last chapter were nothing, but couples. I don't care about couples. I'm glad at least some people can find a little good in this last arc, but I can't.

I definitely won't miss the manga, I'm glad it's finally over. I will still watch the anime next year, hoping it'll be over fast. Also I'm looking forward to the Dragon Cry movie. Hopefully it's good. Sadly, I have to wait until it gets released online.

Hiro should focus on hentai, he'd be definitely good at it. He's too bad at writing.

At first it was 8-9/10 for me. Then in this last arc it got worse and worse by each chapter, with all those nakama powerups, even with all bones broken in Erza's body. Then random suicides, etc.
It's 2/10 for me now.



By the way, why is the MAL score still 8,05?? Why doesn't it go below at least 6 yet? How does it work?

So this chapter was kind of eh....

The only real "official" pair we got was levy and gajeel with the whole Wendy hearing about the baby.

Natsu and Lucy not becoming an official pair was kind of dumb on the authors part and I'm not even a big shipper, but I mean come on, it would have been smart to do.

The hundred year quest sounds so interesting, I hope we get a movie based on that or a couple OVA's for it.

Mavis and Zeref returning as different people was random and out of place. Some things that felt unresolved for me was E.N.D. (wasn't truly explored), Ankersahm's curse (seeing Ankersahm and tying god slayers into it would have been cool), The One Magic was discussed but never fully explained to what it was even thought its probably love or friendship. Also, the way Zeref and Acnologia and all the Spriggans were taken out was really wack. Sherria using magic... come on lol. Another thing that bugged me was how they didn't delve deeper into the brother dynamic of Zeref and Natsu, I mean Zeref worked his ass off and got cursed, but then it was never really explored between the two brothers besides a couple lines here and there.

The chapter would be 5/10 for me and the manga a 6/10 due to the first half of Fairy Tail, the world building, and character interaction. This is being generous rating it a 6/10 for me.

Edit: Score changed overall to 5/10 after thinking about it some more.

Good Ending and It's been a fun journey... Fairy Tail was the first series that got me hooked me into Anime/Manga Culture as a hobby so thanks a lot for these past 6 years, Mashima-sensei!

But tbh I would say It has really good and memorable story, but some last arcs kills me (especially this arc) that I probably will drop this series but lucky I didn't. Still, I'm looking forward to Mashima-sensei's new series in the future and hope It's as good as or better than Fairy Tail...

Even mavis and that zeref were reincarnated for cameo purpose ? wth. it was a fun and easy to read manga, and i really like the daimatou enbu arc which is the best arc imo for this manga, but the last arc its so bad, no one from fairy tail and their allies died, natsu power enhanced into over 9000 with nakama plot armor

after reading some comments above, i personally agree with how this story didn't give us that much development, end at its best way with loose end, etc. even though i expect something about the ship... well, it cant be help.

in the end, all fairy tail about, is how the eternal riddle made natsu and the group go through an eternal adventure.

I started reading this long ago when it was still good, but then it started turning kinda crappy. I was especially bothered by all of the unneccecary fanservice. I still kept reading though, as I was curious as to where mashima would take this. Overall, the series had some ups and many downs, and the ending was meh. Overall, I would give it a 5/10, would be a 6 if the fanservice hadn't been included

Good fucking riddance to a manga that went from 7/10 to literally 1/10 all in two arcs.


We literally got no closure, Lucy's character got COMPLETELY shafted in the last two arcs, Erza became even BIGGER mary sue, nothing important got explained, lots of bullshit happened, power levels outright flew out of the window completely. Oh and majority of plot set up led nowhere - 777 significance? who the fuck knows? Aquarius? Who the fuck knows! Gods? Who the fuck knows! Lucy getting character development? Who the fuck knows! All of the story set up that never came to fruition? WHO THE FUCK KNOWS! OH AND NOBODY FUCKING DIED. Oh and romance went nowhere. LITERALLY nowhere. When worthless trash like Nardo ends up having more conclusive romance than your work you know you dun goofed.

In a single final arc Mashima managed to SHIT on literally everything good he did in the rest of the manga. Even anime filler story arcs were better thought out than this shit. Its such a fucking stark contrast with his work on RAVE that it is hard to believe it is written by same person.

Now hopefully Mashima spends time actually planning out his next work so it is closer to RAVE quality or at least FT's Tartaros level of quality of stuff instead of this....whatever this was.

Final Rating:
I am sad for the braincells that died from having to finish reading this arc/10.

Gonna keep the rating at 5..cuz at the end of the day even though the manga took a freaking nosedive in terms of quality (well this was lost some time ago) in the last arc..manga like FT were the ones that got me into reading manga in the 1st place so it's got my respect for that..only after reading these manga whose quality dropped was i able to venture out to find the good ones ..so well for that i am thankful to FT!!

Well that's another manga removed from the weekly reading slot!!

Even if the manga went to shit and it could have been better, I liked the ending. It was the most Fairy Tail thing it could be, and even if the ships didn't officially sail, at least it was more or less decent compared with other endings.
I cannot believe this has ended after 6 years following the series. Thank God Mashima gave the series a closure before tainting the manga even more.

Now time to wait for the third season of the anime.

Do fairies has tails! in fact do fairies even exist?
an eternal riddle an eternal adventure
that's the story behind our guild name
we are a bit more rough around the edges than the cute name would imply, but everyday's a blast, and i love everyone in this guild
I hope everyone finds one something as irreplaceable to them as Fairy Tail is to me!! something like these beloved friends.
The End
Fairy Tail Chapter: 545 - Irreplaceable Friends
it's been a while since i started Fairy Tail, I loved it the anime the manga! they were awesome for me the hype I felt while watching Tenrou Island, Grand Magic Games and Tartarus Arcs
Fairy Tail made me cry a lot! made me laugh, Specially, Happy's moments his "Aye Sir" is remarkable
Fairy Tail is a story about family and friends relations between them Hiro do his best to express it
Although, the final arc was pretty a mess!! he waste the potential he had the Spriggan 12, Zeref and Acnologia he just throw them away his trumps cards were just passed away easily
I've enjoyed Fairy Tail every episode of the anime some chapters of the manga which the final arc ruined it but um still in love with the whole journey I've enjoyed following them Lucy, Natsu, Ezra, Gray and Happy
another one of my favorite Manga ended!
I do believe that Fairies exist somewhere in our hearts!!

Not at all. It would have made total sense for Natsu and Lucy since it was hinting at it from the very beginning. People were mad about those in Naruto and Bleach because those were built up and then the author's showed off how terrible writers they are by ending with the wrong couples.

Are we sure there isn't going to be some sort of epilogue chapter? I can't see this being the true ending especially since Natsu and Lucy were built up so much. If not, maybe we will get lucky with the anime finale and it will be expanded upon then.
