@Derax: What does that have to do with getting a woman pregnant?

@B214: Because it's as good as impossible in-story and as good as impossible out-of-story.

In story: We've seen Natsu's dead child body, we've seen him train with Igneel in a child's body and we've seen him still as a child when Igneel "left" him. We know that later he aged at a normal Human pace, so him just not growing outwardly, but developing internally is out of the question. In shot at no point was he ever at a stage of physical development at which he could have gotten a woman pregnant.

The only way to make this work would be if Natsu somehow grew older and then Zeref somehow for some reason turned him back into a child before handing him off to Igneel. I don't see why Zeref would do it like that... or how for that matter. Or why the still good-natured Zeref would rip the father away from the mother and child. Or how such a child could survive for 400 years. I doubt he was sent along with Natsu through the Eclipse since he looks more than just 7 years older than Natsu to me.

Out-of-story: Yeah, no way Mashima is going to have a six or so year old child become a father and even if he was willing, Shounen magazine wouldn't allow it. Too much controversy.

Just to clarify, if Larcade turns out to be one of Zeref's creations made out of Natsu's tissue, I do not consider him a child of Natsu.
