New thread because fuck those long-ass CNBA reply threads that give me a headache.


 * 1) So much for her bones being fucking shattered, lmao. The power of hugs defies a destroyed body constitution.
 * 2) This chapter shat on whatever semblance of credibility "Natsu and END are separate entities" theories had left. I laughed, to be honest. I'm directly calling CNBA out here, because he was blatantly proved wrong here (without a doubt, and without any room for argument), and yet he still cannot admit it, because he's forcing trying to carve out a new room for arguing with a broken spoon. It's been explicitly proven that what Zeref said to Natsu in chapter 370 was a metaphor. "Who will reach me? You or END?" Zeref foresaw the advancement of the demon seed and wondered if Natsu would choose to remain himself or if he would choose to fully embrace his demon powers.
 * 3) There is no "retcon," CNBA. The demon seed wasn't the source of his life, it was just the catalyst that revived him initially. That's like saying if the dragon balls are destroyed, every single person brought back by them should die again. A retcon is when new information is introduced that completely shifts the established rules or interpretations of a work to account for the inconsistency a new plot direction would bring. This is not that. Using Dragon Ball again as an example: a retcon was the Potara earrings only lasting an hour for non-Kai beings. The demon seed, which we never fully understood or got a full explanation regarding being destroyed and established as a non-link to Natsu's overall living status is no retcon. Just because it contradicts your incorrect "interpretation" doesn't make a retcon. It just makes you...wrong. Unequivocally, undoubtedly, wrong.
 * 4) To separate the points and make it neater, I'll continue by saying that people below are right. There just flat out is nothing that ever said that if the demon seed was destroyed, Natsu would die. The Demon Seed is simply that which makes Natsu an Etherious. Etherious are tethered to their creator, so if he dies, they die. Without the Demon Seed, Natsu is a human, and therefore his life is no longer tethered to his brother's.
 * 5) Next chapter's title should be Chapter 520: How We Start the Degradation of August
