User blog comment:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 357: The Nine Demon Gates, Review./@comment-4449950-20131025123936

Okay... I've been waiting for this cause I have a theory that I want to coin. But first the chapter:


 * Demon Gates were boring tbh... ( .__.) I like most of their names except for Franmalth and Torfusa. Those are just... nasty XD Just  from first impressions, I am expecting a lot from Ki-Su and Seira >:)
 * Is it just me, or do the Nine Demons seem to all look up to Kyouka? >__> Seems like she's a bit of a ring leader if you ask me...
 * We didn't get to see supermegafoxyawesomehawt Jackal D;
 * Loled at the Raijinshu at 8-island. It was a nice change of pace, and I like seeing them, because we so rarely do :)
 * Yajima almost killed!? Wow! Taking out the old Council members seems pretty good, cause it could be the reason Jellal and Meredy get dragged into the plot. If they are both hunted and attacked that would be awesome >:) I'd love to see them fight :D
 * Soooo... Is this guy Tempesta? Seems weird that he wouldn't mention his name, but... *shrugs* I'd like to think he's someone else, but his Magic is just sooo Tempesta-name-ish that I doubt he is anyone else.
 * Laxus >__> Arg... To be honest, Laxus ruined the chapter for me. I seriously DO NOT see Laxus taking this guy out because to be honest it'd make no sense. I don't see how it could advance the plot... It'd make more sense for the two to fight it out and then the Raijinshu get up and Tempesta is sort "uuuhg" in a 4v1 so he retreats - but not before Laxus finds out who he is and what he wants. Laxus then takes the shaken Yajima to FT and they get involved. Cue arc start for FT.

Just my thoughts though. If Laxus actually wins... I... I don't know what I'll do >__>

Anyways, onto my theory. I have two, though one isn't really this arc related:


 * 1) I have a feeling Silver is a good guy. Why? Because Mashima always seems to do things for a reason. There is always a purpose. So why, I'm thinking, would he draw all these demons and have Silver introduced in his human form? Kyouka also dropped a comment, which I think is a hint. Soooo... What if Silver is a Demon hunter, like his Magic is. He found and killed the real demon from the book of Zeref and is impersonating the demon to infiltrate Tartaros and find out how to take them down. He is insisting on being in his human form because he is human and doesn't have another form, and is using the time passed between the Nine Gates meeting to fool them. Maybe he stole his clothes from the real Nine Gate member and the others are just assuming that his human form looks like that. This makes sense to me because it not only explains his actions in the Sun Village (actually trying to help by freezing Atlas in good faith), but also why he seems a bit uncomfortable around the Nine Gates (his silence this chapter as they all went on rants about their plans), his Magic (a demon with Demon Slaying Magic??), and also why the Nine Gates had no idea what he was out doing before they met up. Just an idea... and I'm coining it ;D
 * 2) Something waaay different, but I'm wondering why Mavis appears so young, even in her flashbacks of founding FT. She's incredibly smart though, which hints that she's lived for a long time. So I'm wondering if perhaps she came into contact with Zeref as an adult and he did something to her that either made her appear as a child or age backwards. Like, his Death Magic went wrong. I dunno... Just been pondering it for a bit. Not really important XD

Good on ya for waking up Jak ;D I hope next weeks chapter is great :) *coughloseLaxuslose*

Carrot out~
