I have something to say about the Dragon Slayers.

I agree with the latest theory that the Dragon Slayers are probably as old as the dragons and somehow went to the future. That's because:
 * The Dragons were supposed to be extinct and killed by Acnologia.
 * Natsu and Gajeel were unable to get out of Freed's runes, meaning they were older than 80.
 * This also partially explains the motion sickness. They never used vehicles as children, as they lived in the past.

However, there are also some strong arguments about Dragon Slayers having human age.
 * The Dragons supposedly disappeared in x777. This was a few years before the show began. This point could be fought, though. The Dragon Slayers simply awoke in x777 and did not find their Dragons when they met another human, they learnt that the age was x777 and concluded that this was when the Dragons disappeared.
 * Daphne arc. Maybe it's filler, but still, Mashima gives the plot. Daphne sees a dragon. If the Dragons are ancient, how could she see one? It cannot be Acnologia either, since in the image the dragon is not very similar to Acnologia.

To conclude, I think that the Dragon plot has thickened even more, after chapter 301. Thanks for the blog post, it really got me thinking.
