User blog comment:FairyRaven/Fairy Tail Chapter 438: The Seventh Guild Master, Review and Commentary/@comment-24546844-20150601172503

A nice chapter. I wouldv'e enjoyed it a bit more if I didn't already knew that Erza was going to be the next master, thank's to those anons spoiling... To be fair it felt a bit short but the humon really compensated for it. I guess Mashima will be just throwing some random information on what the members been doing in the timeskip so it won't be boring to read everyone's story.

Erza being master is okay but I really expect her to step down the post when Makarov or Laxus come back so the gag can continue and Makarov will be the third, sixt and eighth master. Also, Mira taking a bottle to the head was funny and I was sure that Hiro wouldn' miss the chance to do it again. And Lisanna is really cute now.

At first I was like "What the hell is Azuma doing here?" but then I realised it was Doranbolt... and he renamed himself Mest... I seriously like Doranbolt better, but anyway, I like him as a character (less now that he is a FT member, he was great a councilman) and I hope Hiro actually give him a role other than cheap transportation man. Also he knows about Lumen Histoire and Makarov so I doubt Hiro can keep negleting his importance.

On to Zero now. Yes it is a bit stupid that the magic halted her development but at least this explain how Mavis still got time to develop her powerfull magic and stratest abilities while still looking like a loli. Now we know (or at last can speculate) that she didn't die imediatelly after founding Fairy Tail.

Also, as I thought, Zeira isn't real. As I said in a blog long ago: I guess Mavis created Zeira for the same reason, Chuck (Tom Hanks) created Wilsonin the movie Cast away, she was lonelly, and allow me to quote myself "maybe Mavis at the start knew Zeira was dead but her loneliness would make her mind create a projection of Zeira with whom she could be friend and as the years go by she would surpress the traumatic event of her death and start seeing the Zeira she created as real". There's the theory that Zeira is using the same magic that Mavis currently use to manifest herself but that wouldn't explain why she learned magic with Zeref while a totallly imaginary Zeira would be able if Mavis wished it.

Also, was it just me or did anyone else thinnk that it was a bit rude of Yuriy to just come and tell Mavis that Zeira wasn't there out of nothing, especially after a traumatic event? C'mon, this isn't something you tell someone, specially a child/teenager just like this. Anyway, can't wait to see how it will be explained next chapter and how Mavis will reac. I really expect some feels.
