User blog:IamJakuhoRaikoben/Chapter 451: Fairy Heart, Review.

Summary
Zeref brings Mavis' body back to the guild, and Precht is the only one there when he does. He takes Mavis' body and seals her in a Lacrima. He experiments for years trying to bring her back, upon discovering that he can't - he tells the guild that she is dead and prepares a grave for her on Tenrou Island. In present day, the guild gives Mavis encouragement and they all discuss how to proceed in the war against Zeref when Natsu prepares to reveal a technique he was developing.

Review
Okay, so we finally get the conclusion to the story and I have to say I'm pretty satisfied. Like we all predicted, Zeref brought Mavis' body back to the guild himself. Although he did it in perhaps the most asshole-ish fashion in the world. >_> The only person present at the time was Precht and he put Mavis in a lacrima and kept her a secret. And the reason he became the utter douchebag known as Hades is because he plunged deeper and deeper into Dark Magic while investing Mavis' curse and trying to figure out a way to revive her. Makes sense. Although I kinda feel like he could've at least told Yury or Warrod what was up. Sure Mavis' curse is what killed Rita, but I think Yury would've forgiven her - it wasn't her fault after all.

Mavis' "death" is apparently just a state of suspended animation brought on by her curse and her and Zeref's love. And the contradiction caused by the suspended state is what gave birth to Fairy Heart which is infinite Magic. Damn. ( .___.) I can definitely see why Makarov was afraid to use it now. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it at this moment (haven't had a lot of time to process it), but right now I'm digging it. It's a lot better than all the ideas we theorized at least.

One of the best parts of the chapter for me was Gajeel stating the obvious - falling in love isn't a sin. Now, falling in love with the strongest Dark Mage in history might not be too wise, but given Mavis' situation, can you blame her? :P Side note: Everyone's reaction to what Gajeel said slayed my poor shipper heart. :3

Now, the part about the chapter that I'm a little iffy about is Natsu's declaration at the end. Natsu who has the IQ of a mentally challenged donkey somehow developed a technique that can kill an immortal? Something which two unrivaled geniuses and child prodigies (Mavis and Zeref) couldn't figure out? Yeah... no. Not buying it. >_> Also, no one in Fairy Tail is willing to kill an opponent and gets all up in arms when someone does, so... why is Natsu so gung-ho for taking out Zeref? >_> Seems a bit OOC for me, but I'm reserving my judgement on everything concerning this matter for next week since, at this moment, we don't know what technique Natsu is referring to or what he is about to say next.

Now that I know Zeref's full backstory and all of his motivations I... don't believe he is the final villain. ( .___.) Or anything near it for that matter. He's not villainy enough. Everything he's done is just an elaborate way to commit suicide, lol. And unlike most villains, I can't really hate him. I don't like him because he bores/confuses me, but I certainly don't hate him. Hell, I hate some protagonists (*cough*Natsu*cough*Lisanna*cough*) more than I hate him. >__<

Rants and Raves

 * Gajevy. >:D
 * The entire Fairy Heart background story. It was a fun ride. ^___^
 * Natsu and his technique. Not going to judge too hard until next week though...
