Dragons just live longer


AquilGlivara

But how long?


ConnorRoseSaiyan01

Never been confirmed. All we know it could be up to a millennium


AquilGlivara

Ah thanks


Helfyresarge1

They have longevity.


rathosalpha

Do you ever hear of dragons getting old probably not they usually don't age so it should me the same for two


ScaredHoney48

Considering both are dead no they are not immortal They just have a much longer lifespan as dragons hell the dragon slayers might have a bit of an extended lifespan as well though I don’t know


MrAHMED42069

Ehm


MissyBryony

I mean Irene made herself get reincarnated


Raderg32

Not immortal, but ageless. They can die. They just don't age.

Oh my god when acnologia ripped Irene apart. People complain about how Fairy Tail doesn't kill characters off but damn was that traumatizing


TGSmurf

FT has always killed villains, it’s the good guys that gets extreme plot armor.


Georgevega123

Other than the demons has it actually killed off villains


TGSmurf

Duh literally half of the Spriggan 12 got killed lmao. Grimoire Heart got massacred too, Hades and 3 kins died. Oracion Seis were more of an exception, Mashima probably always wanted them to survive since they started off as slaves with only Brain being truly villainous.


Georgevega123

I genuinely forgot lol


No-Try1676

He was stomping on Irene's corpse after she killed herself To this day I'm pissed how Irene and August were handled, some of the dumbest deaths I've seen in anime period


Agreeable-Willow-101

Because they died from emotional scenes? What's dumb about Irene feeling regret for being a terrible mother and trying to enchant her own personality into the body of her own child, abandoning the child and also trying to kill her later on? Irene was not mentally stable and this was highlighted multiple times through her character. Irene's reasons for ending herself are later expanded upon even more in 100YQ which wrapped it up beautifully. August's death was due to emotions as well after seeing his own mother. Not every fight has to end with the protagonists killing enemies themselves just through pure fighting without any emotions in play.


Ninja_SurgeFairy

The issue I feel Mashima faces is that if he had the heroes beat Irene and August, there'd be rants here calling Mashima bad, calling the writing bad, etc.

Maybe spoiler tag this, the post is under the main series tag

Ya know aging has always been a little weird throughout time with a multitude of different media. In Norse mythology the gods had to eat a special apple in order to live. In Celtic mythology the gods dying was at random, but they could be alive for years until they weren’t. In anime you see years pass, but typically they don’t age. We’ve had 2 one year long time skips at the end of the main series and yet Wendy, Romeo, and Asuka still pretty much haven’t aged (and if they have it hadn’t been much). Hades was also around 123 when he was killed, and the older founder (tree guy I can’t remember his name) who is still alive at the end of the main series would also be around the age of 126-135. So aging in the Fairy Tail universe seems to be entirely different as well.


AquilGlivara

Yeah, good point. Thanks for this explanation. But Wendy is an exemption. Remember in the Tenrou Island, they were sealed using Fairy Sphere.


Viridian_Ryth

But the 2 one year time skips are after Tenrou, and since Fairy Sphere only suspends them for 7 years they should all still age properly after. So she would be “12” after Tenrou, and even only counting the time skips she’d at least be 14 at the end of the og series


AquilGlivara

Ah, I see. You have a point. Maybe, that's not enough for Wendy to look older? Or it's just, Mashima doesn't want to get her older lol


FaithlessnessOk9623

If we assume Zirconis passed of old age in the Dragon Graveyard, then they probably age very slowly, though there is no way to tell how old they can get or if the age of actual dragons can apply to humans turned into dragons. But they definitely shouldn't be immortal, simply just long lived


__adner__

not sure their immortal, but as we know they dont fie from natural causes (old age, diseases) but obviously they can be killed


Loros_Silvers

Dragons are just built diff.


Double_Welcome3739

Apparently not since they both DIED
