The much-awaited fire and ice showdown has finally commenced in Fairy Tail 504.
The bond that was once formed under one guild has been ripped by fate's cruelty during Fairy Tail 504. It seems that Gray does not treat Natsu as his friend anymore upon witnessing the latter's monstrous transformation to E.N.D..
"And to think that my enemy was right beside me. My parents, everything I suffered was because of the demons from the Book of Zeref. Because of that Juvia ...," Gray lamented furiously.
Natsu, on the other hand, who is already consumed by the power of E.N.D. and his desire to kill Zeref, starts getting annoyed by Gray's whining and blocking his way. His patience wearing thin, Natsu ordered Gray to move out of his way in which Gray responded, "I will stop you and KILL you!!!"
Thus, the two old pals commenced in a battle. While the rest of this battle is yet to be shown in Fairy Tail 505, it is natural for fans to speculate who is going to win in this showdown.
As per a Youtube channel, a theory has been raised that Fairy Tail 505 titled 'Trump Card' would feature Gray using Iced Shell to combat the immense power of E.N.D.
As Fairy Tail readers and viewers already know, Iced Shell is a spell that allows an Ice Mage to freeze a target into a block of ice. This is not a typical ice because it is unmeltable by any means. The catch for the wielder, however, is the destruction of his or her body in the process as the technique requires the spirit and the physical body of the wielder and channel it into the ice that would envelop the target. What could this mean for Gray? If he ever considers using Iced Shell to Natsu in Fairy Tail 505, the two of them would be connected forever in a block of ice. Seriously speaking, though, either one or two of them could perish.
This possibility is tear-jerking for some Fairy Tail fans, considering that the two had too much history to end up killing each other off. Could the irrational behaviors of Natsu and Gray in Fairy Tail 505 could lead to their deaths?
As previously reported by HNGN, Gray lost all his rational capabilities upon the presumption that Juvia is dead. Likewise, Natsu also lost control of himself to E.N.D. when 'discovered' that Lucy is dead. The most frustrating thing for Fairy Tail fans here is that the two did not even bother to check Juvia and Lucy's pulse. If they did, they would know that both of them are alive and well. So typical of Natsu and Gray.
Fans, however, are not complaining as long as Fairy Tail 505 would sport an epic showdown between the two. Going back to Gray's death, the same Youtube source questioned whether Iced Shell would suffice to defeat the immeasurable power of E.N.D. so Fairy Tail 505 viewers should take this speculation with a pinch of salt.
Meanwhile, Fairy Tail 504 also hinted a major battle between Mavis and Eileen. While the majority of the guild members are still on the battlefield, Eileen's all-seeing-eye searched for Mavis which the latter did not disappoint by showing up and shouting some inspiring words to her fellow Fairy Tail mages and, as a result, encouraged them to continue battling the Alvarez group.
With just a single shout, as Erza Scarlet noted, Mavis elevated the spirit of everyone on the battlefield.
It seems that Fairy Tail 505 will be action-packed. The upcoming chapter is expected for release on October 12. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
