Well, it seems the "Zeira is Mavis' imaginary friend" theory has been officially put to the test. Does Yuri look like he can see her? I don't think he can... Seems like he's just humoring Mavis. Or maybe Zeira is real and only Mavis can see her, just like how Fairy Tail members can only see Mavis.

I'm rather of doubtful. His reactions pretty much scream "Mavis is talking to thin air", and there's no reason for Yuri to ask Zeira's age when she obviously about the same age as Mavis, unless he's trying to get a bead on the age of Mavis' imaginary friend so he can react appropriately.

Ya, His expressions and mannerism tell you he's feeling very awkward right now. Yuri seems a bit too weirded out by Zeira... and one good reason for that is if thought Mavis was talking to thin air.

Randrak42 · 2014-09-13, 13:52

Yea, I also subscribe to the "Zeira is Mavis' imaginary friend" theory, I always found it incredibly weird that Mashima did a fake-out with her death in chapters 1 and 2, it was just odd seeing her alive and well like nothing the next chapter. With Yuri's reactions this chapter...yea, totally subscribed to the theory.

MCAL · 2014-09-13, 19:22

Actually I was wondering if Mavis being the only one to see Zeira is related to how only Fairy Tail members can see her.

Wandering Soul · 2014-09-13, 19:50

Yuri's reactions are providing more hints that the Zeira isn't really there theory is true. He is visibly freaked out when Mavis starts to talk about Zeira and doesn't even seem to question where she was.

FlareKnight · 2014-09-13, 20:43

It certainly seems like either Zeira is just in Mavis's imagination or she is some kind of ghost. The fact that Mavis ended up like that herself in the future would lend some credence to the belief that Zeira is there in some sense. Although she isn't there in the present day so...maybe she is just imaginary?

At the very least this chapter made clear that Zeira is not physically there. Whether she has substance or not is a question for another day.

Props to Yuri I guess for managing to keep a reasonably calm expression there. Though does make me wonder about his relationship with Mavis in the future and what will happen to him (you know aside from being the father of the third master of the guild

).

Well, that was a mysterious chapter...so the tenrou jade has been missing for quite some time and now Mavis and Zeira set out with Yuri's gang to go get it. I feel bad for him, beaten by a kid in a game he's been playing forever

Tempest35 · 2014-09-14, 05:16

That's because Mavis is a boss.

And yes, Yuri believes that 'Zeira' is Mavis's 'imaginary friend' but in reality, Zeria is still there (somewhat), he just can't see her. Which is pretty much the entire concept of an 'imaginary friend' in a nutshell, but hey...

Damn it Mashima... you're gonna rip out our feels in the near future, aren't you... You already know that Mavis crying for real induces RROD in most of us...why would you do this??!

Because he can.

On the theory that Zeira is Mavis imaginary friend, looking at their interactions I'm also wondering if she is the representation of Mavis own shy side. So a scene like Mavis convincing Zeira they should go outside the island would be Mavis convincing herself.

dniv · 2014-09-14, 12:25

This >>>>>>> main FT manga. I'm so going to love this.

Simonsy · 2014-09-14, 15:10

Well no longer and doubt as to her being an imaginary friend. Last chapter it was nice and subtle, this chapter you would have to be a little kid reader to not pick up the signs that she is imaginary.

Kind of wished she was alive, but oh well.

Kafriel · 2014-09-14, 15:42

She may still be a ghost, much like Mavis in present time...

I'm expecting that she is a ghost. She probably isn't imaginary... It seems too familiar to the present to not be that. I also wonder if the Tenrou Jade has anything to do with the ghost status... or maybe not...

Ggb81 · 2014-10-21, 20:08

Does anyone know why there's no chapter so far this month? Was the manga delayed or what? Just curious.

No, the magazine is out, and there are a few spoilers floating around. Scanlations are simply delayed for some unknown reason.

Bonta Kun · 2014-10-22, 18:18

Aaaand there we have it, Mavis confirmed as best mage ever, expect nothing less from the founder of FT

And with the appearance of Zeref there, I think there is now a good chance of Mavis showing up in the main series for real.
Can't have a side story out doing your main series, so how do you change that bring the best part of the side story over to the main one

Mavis <3

I'd also think that Yury can tell she's an illusion, again from his bahavior in the previous chapter

Unless the raw verifies it, it could just be another Mangastream translation error. That, or Zeira really is an illusion.

Slayerx Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Spoiler: Ah another fun chapter. Not that interesting, but a fun read. It does feel a bit odd that our treasure hunting friends don't use magic but that does leave room for potential; we can watch them build up from scratch. And it does help show us why Mavis was such a natural choice for the first Guild Master; one teacher and 3 students. It's kind of funny really; Fairy tail always seemed a bit unorthodox in that when the series started our heroes were already some of the strongest characters around; most shonen start from the beginning and we build up. It was a method i kind of liked at first, but after so many victories it got tired; being so close to the top there was not much higher for them to go... Kinda shows the value of watching the heros build from scratch. This series may shows us that build up in power. Though I wonder if the series will end with the formation of fairy tail, or if will keep going beyond that point. I really am enjoying Fairy Tail Zero more than the main series. I guess i just got tired of everything going on in the main series and this fresh start is just what i needed from the author... its actually what i would have liked from bleach; Kubo had ended Ichigo's story and started fresh following a new protagonist... get back to basics so we can put all the baggage behind us and work back up. on another note, Zeira... Precht said "brats" and he doesn't seem to be the type to play along which would seem to indicate that he knows Zeira is there. Though i still think something's up with her like she's an illusion created by Mavis to keep herself company... I'd also think that Yury can tell she's an illusion, again from his bahavior in the previous chapter __________________ My Deviantart
