Zeref who is +400, after dinging into dark magic when he was a kid revived his younger brother in the form on a demon. And this little fact has also been confirmed by the fact that Natsu couldn't get through the ruins, so his body is indeed really old.

But how did he manage to remain so young looking? He was revived in the appearance of a kid by Zeref but he was also found in the appearance on a kid +400 years later by Makarov.

I thought at first that maybe everytime he died he'd just go back to his "checkpoint" (you know, like in PS2 video games, after a checkpoint, if you died , all "progress" beyond was just erased and you were sent back to where you last saved). And that checkpoint was the "Natsu kid" that was revived by Zeref.

Or maybe that he was revived but not set in motion and remain "frozen" til about ~ 770 when Igneel found the frozen body, unfroze it and then tried to kill and ended up adopting him, or something of a sort.

Or that Natsu as well as all Original Dragon slayers were all walking around and then got taken into the future on the year 777 and forgot all about that day and just though that it was their dragon who disappeared.

[Bonus Question that could somehow have ties to this]

How come Natsu is the only dragon slayers (we've seen so far) being able to "absord" something other than fire and remember the technique to be able to use it later like his Dragon Lighting Roar.

On other dragon slayers the absorption seems to be only temporary and after the stomach pain the "traces" of the absorbed magic leave their body and they'll have to absorb it again to be able to re-use it.

Now would that be possible that Natsu really is from the past and lived in the past and meet Igneel 400 years ago and had all his "Element King" dragon friends give him a lesson or two to Natsu so that if he is to absorb any element of the corresponding Dragon from a Dragon Slayer, he'll be able to re-use it forever.

Say "Water Dragon" gave Natsu some tutoring and then Natsu fought this water dragon slayer and absorbed his magic and now he can use a technique mixing up his fire and water slayer magic forever and we see him spit something like "Roar of the fire dragon of the seas" or whatever like 10 episodes later.

What are you fierce people's though on that?
