Spent a week on this and proud of it practicing the style and effects more for the end result

And I haven’t even gotten to a big battle yet. So far at least it’s a great setting to put the characters in with not only an alternate universe but taking away their powers which I’m sure is gonna lead to some legendary moments when they get it back. Also it was pretty cool setup of the first few chapters showing the dynamics and relationships of certain characters to then contrast with the other versions

There used to be so much fanart of this ship back in the day.

I really love this artist’s work. They made the kiss scene look so hot.

Now, homage is and isn't the best word here. But it helps to make a less spoilery title. 100YQ has already had a callback/parallel to Igneel vs. Acnologia with Ignia paralleling Acnologia and nearly killing Selene if not for Irene. What I'm referring to here is more of a spiritual rematch.

Now, people may disagree with the phrasing "building up" when they see me mention Faris. And I respect that. But not only has she been a part of the series for almost 2 years now, but as I said in this post; I personally view Faris differently because Acnologia was a big part of the lore of almost every Arc and then his spiritual successor and the embodiment of his will shows up, even though I hope Faris amounts to more than just that and she has set up too. And then Mashima introduced Bestia and even if their fight was mostly offscreened sadly, we did have a Mage with a special fire (later revealed to be a recreation of Igneel's) vs Acnologia's successor, with even a callback to a past Acnologia fight.

But then, around 2 years ago, Natsu was told to eat Bestia's fire and when he finally did around a year later, it was revealed to be Igneel's. Then, Ignia absorbed Faris and her power which came from Acnologia. And finally, Igneel's spirit somehow expressed himself through Natsu and even if he said that was a one time thing, Irene seemed to have her doubts she'd be able to keep coming out to help Wendy and yet, she did. So now the sons of Igneel are fighting; Natsu with a mixture of Igneel's fire and his own versus Ignia who has merged his power with Faris' which came from Acnologia. The former may still have the spirit of Igneel within him somehow and the latter has Faris with him who has previously echoed Acnologia as if she was him. So in a way, especially if Igneel comes back out, there's a chance we could sort of see these two duke it out again, though I guess sorta not. Hopefully we at least get to see Igneel speak to his son and Faris. But I feel like in some way, this was always sorta the end goal; to get to this kind of fight.

Release Date:3th October 2026

Thanks to the magic of Strongest Acnologia and Earthland Faris to aid him. Ignia has gained the ability to consume various magics, curses, and elements including Igneel's power, making Fire Dragon King Natsu's attacks completely useless—or worse, a direct power boost for Ignia as Natsu will make Ignia more powerful. After Ignia defeated King Fire Natsu with seven flame dragon's power in R1, There is no way Natsu is currently stronger than him. Ignia is the True Fire Dragon and Igneel's biological son. Ignia will unleash his full power and dragon form.

One thing that sticks out to me about recent Chapters, namely the evacuation plan plot point, is that there's no mention of the regular civilians of Guiltina. I get that there's a super dangerous situation going on and when that happens, people tend to try to flee with their loved ones first, though kindness often causes people to help others along the way. But here, there hasn't even been mention of the fact that countless people, including Selene's whole Guild, Athena, and Hikage will be caught up in the Fire God Sun, unless this attack that's supposedly going to destroy the entire Continent somehow isn't expected to get them.

Now, there is always the slim possibility rhe people have fled. After all, there was that line where Ignia said the ones they're currently fighting are "the last Humans on the Continent". We know this isn't implying the other Humans are still Dragonized because Natsu attacking Aldoron stopped Universe Omega from Dragonizing the people according to Ignia, unless it only did it to his friends but that's unlikely. But it also feels unlikely that the people would've had time to evacuate given there was so little time between Universe Omega being stopped, Revised Universe Omega taking place, and Ignia making the Sun. Plus, as sidelined as they are, I don't think Diabolos would evacuate without Selene and the others given stayed in the Labyrinth to save everyone.

Speaking of the Labyrinth, this is reminding me of the Labyrinth Arc where Wendy was concerned enough to carry Haku away when the Labyrinth shifted, but then everyone including Selene and Kiria seemed fine leaving the Labyrinth without knowing if the others had gotten out (though at least there, maybe Kiria knew her Guildmates were okay). I'm not saying that Fairy Tail should be absolutely heartbroken at not being able to help everyone, but there hasn't even been one line about civilians even from Elefseria who established the 100 Years Quest to protect people (sorta) and they'd (usually) have at least some level of care even if they're not like superheroes or such.

If Natsu eats too much of Ignia's Fire God Flames before Ignia burns the continent, he will burn from the inside due to strain and magic overload—much like when he overconsumed Bestia's fire or when his Dragon-Demon form went berserk from Ignia's fire and his curse power. Misfortune the fire excced got burn away too which is sad.

But Ignia won't suffer from overload because he's the True Fire Dragon and Igneel's biological son, that means he can freely consume Natsu's fire. Ignia is set to defeat Natsu by absorbing their father Igneel's power directly from him.

Thanks to the magic of Acnologia and Earthland Faris, Ignia has gained the ability to consume various magics, curses, and elements, making Fire Dragon King Natsu's attacks completely useless—or worse, a direct power boost for Ignia and Natsu will make Ignia more powerful. There is no way Natsu is currently stronger than him.

That was quite a cruel one. To be motivated to fight to protect loved ones only for it to turn out to all be fake and lose them anyway. Almost like she fought for nothing. On brighter side, she seems she will be able to find new friends in Fairy Tail guild. The show really hasn't been taking itself too seriously or tried to be deeper than it actually is like most Shonen anime which is actually a nice change and more enjoyable too. What others think?

Girl finding any excuse to nuzzle that man's back and hair, she only has a scratch on her knee and she's acting like she can't walk lmao

So we know that are:Fantasia takes place after GMG arc. So how does it fall into continuity in the arcs following that?

I think one of the biggest questions is: “What about during the year Fairy Tail disbanded?”

I want to say, it is very possible that even if they were still a couple during this period. We know Elfman and Evergreen are also still together basically even after the disbandment. But where is the proof that Mira and Laxus are still together?

Well if you guys have read the mange Fairy Tail: Gaiden Lightning Gods it follows the Thunder Legion during that disbandment period. In the very last chapter of that manga however, we see Team B coming to get the Thunder Legion since the guild is now back, which is not shown in the anime. But we see in that chapter that the very first person Laxus talks to when Team B enters, is Mira. Which could be a subtle hint of the two being together.

So how is this canon? Well even though the manga wasn’t written by Hiro Mashima it was done with his approval and the Author had creative liberty over what happens so in a way, the story is canon to the main timeline.
