I don't care what anyone else says, I'm taking "Prelude to the final battle" as PROOF, UNDENIABLE, LEGIT, ACCURATE, CONCLUSIVE PROOF that FT is nearing its end! Hoorah! \(^_^)/ As I've said before, this 'end' can come in a 100 chapters even, I'm fine as long as it is fleshed out properly and is comparable to the ending of RAVE. :D Going by these recent chapters, that won't be much of a problem.

And now, here is the statement for anyone unaware of my viewpoint. XD

"It is because I love FT so goddamn much that I want it to end beautifully without being dragged on needlessly, definitely not because I want Mashima to stop making awesome stuff. If anything, I hope Mashima makes a shorter series with a better deadline so that he has more time to plan things out."
