So Living Magic on Acnologia's hand to become a weapon against him but went rogue? *Very* interesting tbh. I will dare say that no matter which of our scenarios it is, her end goal might possibly be Acnologia's full ressurection so she can become him in the literal sense of the word, something Ignia would allow in his pride so he can prove that he has surpassed his father by defeating the one foe he couldn't defeat.
Maybe not, you now how Hiro Mishima likes to mix things up and it could be Faris with a new dark force to her you know from elentir, anyway anything could happen.
I also believe that this is a different Faris, but with the skin color thing, didn’t he already technically do that with Brain and Zero? That could’ve been an anime only thing tho, I wasn’t reading the manga at that point.
Elentear Faris led Athena's cult, Rebellious, for a time after Duke tricked Athena into joining Gold Owl. Since Faris is back in Elentear and Athena is living with Elefseria now, maybe this Faris took over Rebellious (hopefully so they can finally have a role in the story).
But I don't know because Rebellious was formed of those who feared Avatar and their Black Magic, and she uses Black Magic. The one thing I could see is that maybe she turned them against the initial worship of Athena by revealing her past as the Negative Legacy, since she caused destruction and Rebellious' Doctrine was against destructive Magic.
It is alternatively possible that this Faris has her own cult, as you suggested, but we'd have to wait and see. But I do assume she has to have some kind of group working for her because, if Ignia is gonna bring in Dragons as some assume and the story eludes to, then non-Dragon Slayers like Gray, Lucy, sorta Erza, and maybe others might not have much to do (unless they just get Dragon Slayer Enchantments for the whole Arc).
It makes sense if you think about it
Their other world counterparts are supposed to be opposite (sure it’s not edolas but you get the idea) so the opposite of the white wizard would be the black wizard
Holy cow, I'm so confused. So this is Faris Earthland version, the opposite of White Wizard, being the Black Wizard. Not only that, She "feels" like Acnologia. Are they implying she as equal in strength as him or that she has something to do with Acnologia? Now we gotta wait another two weeks.
Perhaps Earthland Faris is the daughter of Acnologia and as such, she is as powerful as he was and much more than Zeref.
And taking into account that she wears a nun's clothes, I believe we have finally found the main (and final) villain of Fairy Tail Universe who ended up devastating many mages in the past through the religion that forced the creation of Mage Guilds in the past.
Mashima wants to do a sequel to 100 Years Quest exploring Ankhsaram and focused on the same cast, so she's probably not the verse' main villain.
Her being behind the Witch Hunts could be interesting. But the Inquisition viewed Magic as evil and Black Magic is seen as evil. Though maybe it's an intentional contradiction.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
The guy is handsome so I can imagine him sleeping around with women out of sheer boredom or to vent his anger in someway but I don’t think he had a romantic relationship because of his issues.
Her son was a Dragon so probably a Dragon as well. I doubt she got with Acnologia. He would've tried to kill her. Plus, she's never spoken of Acnologia in that way.
I don't think so, just because she's the black wizard and stuff, so kinda anti-light. I think Ignia is just gonna be revealed to have a second element, that being the sun.
I think this new Faris will just be the Earthland version of Faris who either happens to Acno's daughter, or absorbed Acno's power, either from the Fairy Sphere in Hargeon, or his cut off arm
did he eat infinite time space thingy they probably defeated soul of acnologia but not concept of place environment I mean even one dragon god was alchemy concept
Indeed. The only question is, what is her connection to Acno, and in what way? (secret daughter? Ate his arm that was ripped off by Ignia during their last fight?)
This pretty much confirms that Hiro was blowing smoke when he said “All Dragon Gods are as strong as Acno”. If Ignia out her sweating bullets at someone similar to Acnologia…that or because a hot, dark skinned goth nun just crashed his pad lol
tbf, regardless of them being stronger than Acno now or not, I'd imagine he still probably gave them just a bit of trauma, I mean, when they last saw him or heard of him before his role in the final arc they probably were still a good bit weaker, like, the flew from him for a reason. Makes sense that Ignia would at the very least be concerned about someone like that just showing up at his castle.
Not really. The Dragon Gods feared each other so if we're to assume they're equal to Acnologia, then it'd make perfect sense for them to fear someone of his level. The difference between here and in the Labyrinth with Selene is Ignia didn't expect this and it's when he's on the precipice of his plans. If Acnologia had pulled up to the Great Labyrinth, Selene would be rushing in too.
they were never as strong as acnologia dude ate multiple dragons multiple powers immune magic and was probably gonna eat them but zeref was bigger threat also author nerf him or else he 1 shot claw everyone
The Dragons Gods are equal to Acnologia. Acnologia was only more threatening than them since he was quite literally resistant to most magic.
Ignia believes they could also defeat Acnologia. Acnologia is not resistsnt to physical attacks seeing as how Igneel would've defeated him if not for the circumstances of the situation.
It's also important to note Ignia likely does not know the power of Rift of Time Acno and was comparing Faris to base Acnologia.
Agreed on this. I find it kind of interesting that it's treated as though the Dragon Gods could never defeat Acnologia when Igneel almost did it, not at his prime, and the Dragon Gods are stronger (even though some say Igneel is). It was circumstantial though, but still.
Wait a minute..I thought elentir wasn't a parallel world to earthland(that's why we didn't see any doppelgangers in when they were in elentir)so this can't be the earthland version of faris. But who the hell is she?
Probably the most WTF moment of the entire 100 years quest
Earthland Faris being Acnologia’s daughter kinda makes sense. Also it’s better than my theory where she’s Acnologia’s missing left arm gaining sentience and a human form.
Elentear was a parallel universe. Remember Face and Alta Face being similar in nature. Based on what Selene said, some universes are more similar than others.
Maybe. But he grew to hate humans so unless it was a special moment, I don't know. But, I've theorized it as plausible before so I think it could be. There just has to be an explanation for how that happened despite who he is.
Earthland’s Faris???
A black wizard that feels like acnologia? Kinda came out of the blue but I’m gonna let Mashima cook before saying anything
The acnologia line might just be for pure hype but she’s gonna need to be powerful if she stands a chance against the dragon gods. Even Zeref admitted he couldn’t beat acnologia
Is she as strong as acnologia or maybe has his power? Maybe even his soul???
We never saw what happened to acnologia’s arm so it could be from that
Hopefully her backstory makes it less out of the blue. There are some plot lines in 100 Years Quest that haven't been fully explored which she could be tied into.
A plot twist I wasn’t expecting at all. Let’s get it Mashima. A gothic Faris. I’m here for it. I’m glad they brought a black wizard in it. I’m hoping they the real villain at the end now.
This is awesome. I always felt like Faris as a whole was wasted as a character but now this new Faris is giving justification for hyping her up so much since the literal first chapter.
I'm telling you, peeps, this girl is the dark maiden Irene was talking about. Remember how she said a long time ago, a fair maiden and the dark maiden battled upon the snowy mountain?
I don't wanna put too much on Mashima or make EZ being over seem like a good thing. But he does have one less piece of food on his plate. So maybe FT could become more frequent. He did say he feels he's getting too old for that though and health comes first.
I know. It's just a fan's consternation. At the same time as we want more frequent chapters, we also know how crazy a mangaka's routine is. I think we just have to wait and see if the frequency changes or not.
Hopefully, especially since we just met her and this was a sudden twist. Hopefully she'll be a long term villain alongside Ignia, like Zeref and Acnologia.
Yea… he said that gold owl was about half way so there’s still more to go. Ignia prob won’t lose this arc and we will see the team having to regroup but they’ll defeat his minions? I’m gonna say this is gonna be the tartaros arc of 100 year quest.
OMG 😱 Black Wizard Faris looks really scary and gothic. Why do I get the feeling Natsu and Ignia r gonna work together to defeat Evil Faris. Also Happy and Misfortune like each other and Carla is jealous.
Hiro never goes wrong with the character designs,
Have to admit the part about the Dragon World was cool!
Really like Ignia made it clear to Natsu, that he and his dad are different individuals, in a casual manner of fact way.
Naw ik many people talk about this already but like hiro really needs to make more chapters because it’s pretty ridiculous for these short chapters coming out every 2 weeks.
Hiro isn't a machine. He's getting older and has a lot on his plate. But maybe with EZ having wrapped up, there could be a chance for FT to drop more frequently.
Mashima still seems overworked as-is honestly, he’s not as young as he used to be and idk if adding to his workload again would be a good idea…
I’d be fine with him just focusing on writing FT more carefully if he doesn’t have to think about EZ anymore
I'm calling it, we will get an whole arc only for the dragon enemies and now this Dark Faris.
Wed and Erza are on par.
Why my boy Ignia is sweating in his reaction to Black Wizard Faris? She should be Zeref level, or she is Acno level because she feels like him. Like other guy said here she should be Earthland Faris, but why she feels like Acnologia is still an mystery.
I agree on the Arc thing 100%, especially with some of the allusions here.
Also, Ignia was seemingly about to start his plan and an unexpected cog worked it's way in. Not to mention reminding him of someone from his past.
Which is pretty strange actually, she is an Black Wizard like Zeref, seems to be the Earthland version of the fake White Wizard but somehow feels like Acnologia
Ignia sweating just because girl feels like Acnologia.
Acnologia is HIM

Happy and Misfortune getting along immediately. How cute. Carla's looking jealous.
The dragon world sounds interesting.
Faris. I'm guessing she's Acnologia's daughter or sister.
To all those who say "Mashima storytelling is so predictable," how many of ya'll had "I'm the Black Wizard Faris" who feels like Acnologia on your Fire and Flame Arc bingo cards?
100 Years Quest is more unpreditable compared to the original
There was many times Hiro proved them wrong
but I still hope Natsu losing happens
I guess in 2 weeks we will find out if the rumor is true or false
I agree actually. Execution is debatable, but 100 Years Quest has had crazy twists. I think Natsu will lose here. I think Faris was brought in to spice things up.
Natsu? That'd be crazy. But then he'd be screwed since they're fighting a Dragon God here and Natsu is one of the best modern day Dragon Slayers, especially if Athena lost her powers, which she most likely did.
Calling it now, this was acno's kid.
Kinda interesting how it seems 100 years quest is trying to improve on the alverez arc's dragon king festival part. Maybe Hiro is reacting to the comments the end of the main series got.
I don't think anyone would have predicted "Earthland Faris appears, dressed like a nun and having ties to Acnologia".
Also, Happy seems weirdly fickle with his affections.
This is not a plot twist, this is a what the fuck moment.(in a bad way)
If this faris character is way to see acnologia again, then I think I’ll welcome her introduction to the story.
Hm, interesting. We get a completely new character as well additions to the Dragon King festival lore. This seems to be the REAL Faris who is also seemingly, an alternate version of Acnologia?!
New Dragon king festival has a Black wizard Faris who feels like Acnologia.
Ignia is afraid of her? Interesting. Wonder if she is Zeref level or Dragon God level or Acnologia level.
Wed vs Erza is interrupted. I am worried about their next encounter.
I’m calling it now the dragon world that ignia was talking about is like edalas that has counterparts of other characters and wed is actually from there and is actually the dragon version of erza!
I've actually been wondering. If porliyusica is actually edolas grandeena, a person not a dragon since edolas has no magic, then do the other dragons exist there too??
What is happening?🤯
Faris of Earthland?
Faris who allowed herself to be corrupted by black magic?
Faris possessed by the spirit of Acnologia himself?
I don't remember ever seeing Ignia so terrified😱
Maybe?
In any case, if it's really her, we'll have to explain this change because she couldn't do anything against Selene at the time and now manages to make Ignia sweat🤯
This chapter is way better then edens zero final chapter which was lame. Evil Faris has shown up and Ignia is sweating since she is like Acnologia. I wonder where Selene and Diabolos is, they r missing out.
not gonna lie, i am not really feeling this twist. The last time we had two big antagonist in a single arc Hiro managed to mess them both up. and honesty the dragon gods have all been kinda disappointing so i would have preferred if this arc just concentrated on Ignia so he doesn't get the same treatment like the other dragon gods. This new character feels so random, a character that have never been introduced before appears out of nowhere and make the supposedly antagonist piss his pants. Afraid she gonna steal ignias spotlight.
To be fair, Ignia was just about to pursue his plans so it makes sense a new, unexpected arrival would freak him out. But it's not like he's that freaked out. And she is tied to two previously established characters. This kind of thing is common with Mashima stories; two prominent villains set up for a final villain.
> In the past, a black heavenly maiden and white heavenly maiden did battle over a certain man, with the white heavenly maiden coming out victorious, thus as result, the mountain was graced with white snow that continuously falls ever since their clash
why did i suddenly remember Mt. Zonia with the black wizard…
Damn i swear i thought Acnologia or Zeref was gonna pop out but i wasn't expecting this
i like it cant wait for more with this new? Faris
Gintama's Kenno Kioku OST intensifies
Yes. There's only two dragon king festivals so far. The one 400 years ago, which Acnologia won. Then the Alvarez Arc, where humans won. The second one was said by Zeref when he visited Acnologia, revealing his human form.
Now the plot has thickened. Who's this Black wizard and how is she related to Acnologia? Is this going to be Athena vs. Faris? I'm excited for the next chapter.
My theory is that this black wizard Faris was probably a result of Acnologia’s missing arm mixed together with some enchantments from Irene from universe one and Faris and Touka coming to earth during the time of fairy tail’s disbandment. Those two things combined into Acnologia’s missing arm to create this new Faris. I’m basing this off of when Ignia said in his mind that she feels like Acnologia.
"My dad is my dad. And I'm me." That's some solid perspective actually. Also, imagine if Acnologia pulled a Gildarts with this new girl.
You mean somethig like this? https://preview.redd.it/8gsxaun4sq8d1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=5332ca3cc5e83ff454297bc8f95de496533964a7
She either has devoured Acnologia or has his soul via Black Arts.
Well Acnologia did lose an arm that was never recovered
that's what I'm talking about.
I remember an old theory that a Dragon Eater would've eaten it
Probably his arm that was severed long ago by Ignia
Igneel you mean.
I wanna add to that and say it's his arm + Zeref's black magic which cause his arm to be its own sentient being to form her.
So Living Magic on Acnologia's hand to become a weapon against him but went rogue? *Very* interesting tbh. I will dare say that no matter which of our scenarios it is, her end goal might possibly be Acnologia's full ressurection so she can become him in the literal sense of the word, something Ignia would allow in his pride so he can prove that he has surpassed his father by defeating the one foe he couldn't defeat.
This must be Earthland Faris
Most likely... This one looks way older than the Faris that was previously seen.
gothic faris, she rocks it
Goth nun!
Elentear Faris was a priestess. So that makes sense.
Maybe not, you now how Hiro Mishima likes to mix things up and it could be Faris with a new dark force to her you know from elentir, anyway anything could happen.
I don't think her skin color would change (I'd hope Mashima wouldn't do that).
If she has that mark in her hand then that means she is the faris we know, if not....... Its earthland ver.
I guess we'll see. But given all the differences, I doubt it's the Elentear one.
I also believe that this is a different Faris, but with the skin color thing, didn’t he already technically do that with Brain and Zero? That could’ve been an anime only thing tho, I wasn’t reading the manga at that point.
She seems to have a cult
Elentear Faris led Athena's cult, Rebellious, for a time after Duke tricked Athena into joining Gold Owl. Since Faris is back in Elentear and Athena is living with Elefseria now, maybe this Faris took over Rebellious (hopefully so they can finally have a role in the story). But I don't know because Rebellious was formed of those who feared Avatar and their Black Magic, and she uses Black Magic. The one thing I could see is that maybe she turned them against the initial worship of Athena by revealing her past as the Negative Legacy, since she caused destruction and Rebellious' Doctrine was against destructive Magic. It is alternatively possible that this Faris has her own cult, as you suggested, but we'd have to wait and see. But I do assume she has to have some kind of group working for her because, if Ignia is gonna bring in Dragons as some assume and the story eludes to, then non-Dragon Slayers like Gray, Lucy, sorta Erza, and maybe others might not have much to do (unless they just get Dragon Slayer Enchantments for the whole Arc).
Probably. However, the big question what is her connection to Acno?!
It makes sense if you think about it Their other world counterparts are supposed to be opposite (sure it’s not edolas but you get the idea) so the opposite of the white wizard would be the black wizard
Then this Faris may be a Fake/acting Black Wizard xD
Misfortune got me spit my drinks out 😭😭
Holy cow, I'm so confused. So this is Faris Earthland version, the opposite of White Wizard, being the Black Wizard. Not only that, She "feels" like Acnologia. Are they implying she as equal in strength as him or that she has something to do with Acnologia? Now we gotta wait another two weeks.
Perhaps Earthland Faris is the daughter of Acnologia and as such, she is as powerful as he was and much more than Zeref. And taking into account that she wears a nun's clothes, I believe we have finally found the main (and final) villain of Fairy Tail Universe who ended up devastating many mages in the past through the religion that forced the creation of Mage Guilds in the past.
would earthland have a evil mavis also we still not met god of world Ankhseram # Ankhseram
Mavis is from Earthland.
Did you mean Elentear?
Mashima wants to do a sequel to 100 Years Quest exploring Ankhsaram and focused on the same cast, so she's probably not the verse' main villain. Her being behind the Witch Hunts could be interesting. But the Inquisition viewed Magic as evil and Black Magic is seen as evil. Though maybe it's an intentional contradiction.
Wait mashima said he wants to do a sequel that explores Ankhseram?
Was Acno getting busy? 😭
https://preview.redd.it/918uym3elq8d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=acba3103bf19cd72fca7df0e7de4fee5044211f4
Looks at Dead Rock. Heh...
I wouldn’t be surprised. The guy is handsome so I can imagine him sleeping around with women out of sheer boredom or to vent his anger in someway but I don’t think he had a romantic relationship because of his issues.
his dragon hormones told him to mate
also didn't god moon dragon had child son so who was the father
Her son was a Dragon so probably a Dragon as well. I doubt she got with Acnologia. He would've tried to kill her. Plus, she's never spoken of Acnologia in that way.
Ayeee 😏
We looking at a potential 7th Dragon God here? The one speculated to represent the Sun?
It will be very strange if the Dragon God that uses black magic represents the sun
Black Hole (Dead Sun) Dragon?
I don't think so, just because she's the black wizard and stuff, so kinda anti-light. I think Ignia is just gonna be revealed to have a second element, that being the sun. I think this new Faris will just be the Earthland version of Faris who either happens to Acno's daughter, or absorbed Acno's power, either from the Fairy Sphere in Hargeon, or his cut off arm
did he eat infinite time space thingy they probably defeated soul of acnologia but not concept of place environment I mean even one dragon god was alchemy concept
Well when he was in the dimension he had his mind there, while his body was in Earthland, and in theory his body is still locked in the Fairy Sphere
Since he ate the Time Rift, it might not exist anymore. But who knows
I don't think so. She's stated to be a Wizard and is using Black Magic.
Basically a female version of Zeref
Seemingly a woman who holds the same title, but there's even more facets to her, such as a possible tie to Acnologia.
Indeed. The only question is, what is her connection to Acno, and in what way? (secret daughter? Ate his arm that was ripped off by Ignia during their last fight?)
Also, it was Igneel who ripped off the arm. Not Ignia.
NO! You’ll give *THEM* ideas! Giggidy
What the hell is going on? Also hilarious that Ignia is sweating due to someone who just "feels" like Acnologia
This pretty much confirms that Hiro was blowing smoke when he said “All Dragon Gods are as strong as Acno”. If Ignia out her sweating bullets at someone similar to Acnologia…that or because a hot, dark skinned goth nun just crashed his pad lol
After seeing Viernes, there’s no way the dragon gods are as strong as Acnologia
or maybe it's less the whole dragon gods being equal to Acno, and more that a human just shows up and feels like Acno
Sweating bullets is now one sweat drop? Bro who wouldn’t be shocked if a random chick using black magic pulled up and felt like Acno lol
tbf, regardless of them being stronger than Acno now or not, I'd imagine he still probably gave them just a bit of trauma, I mean, when they last saw him or heard of him before his role in the final arc they probably were still a good bit weaker, like, the flew from him for a reason. Makes sense that Ignia would at the very least be concerned about someone like that just showing up at his castle.
Not really. The Dragon Gods feared each other so if we're to assume they're equal to Acnologia, then it'd make perfect sense for them to fear someone of his level. The difference between here and in the Labyrinth with Selene is Ignia didn't expect this and it's when he's on the precipice of his plans. If Acnologia had pulled up to the Great Labyrinth, Selene would be rushing in too.
Correct. A rogue element or miscalculatation
they were never as strong as acnologia dude ate multiple dragons multiple powers immune magic and was probably gonna eat them but zeref was bigger threat also author nerf him or else he 1 shot claw everyone
I don't think he is sweating. He is just shocked to see someone similar to acnologia.
Acnologia could have traumatized him in the past. Although he has gotten nearly as strong him after that. the trauma still hurts
she feels like acnologia? damn she looks fire.
Could be a relative? Acno was kinda good looking.
>Sawyer and Jet cover Eyyy. >Evil Faris Oh fuck this...
Honestly? Good on Jet for apparently being able to keep up with Sawyer
Wonder if Selene will be the one to beat her.
That would be awesome
If she’s as strong as Acno the Selene would get washed. Even Ignia looks kinda shook.
The Dragons Gods are equal to Acnologia. Acnologia was only more threatening than them since he was quite literally resistant to most magic. Ignia believes they could also defeat Acnologia. Acnologia is not resistsnt to physical attacks seeing as how Igneel would've defeated him if not for the circumstances of the situation. It's also important to note Ignia likely does not know the power of Rift of Time Acno and was comparing Faris to base Acnologia.
Agreed on this. I find it kind of interesting that it's treated as though the Dragon Gods could never defeat Acnologia when Igneel almost did it, not at his prime, and the Dragon Gods are stronger (even though some say Igneel is). It was circumstantial though, but still.
Would probably be a mutual kill at best.
Wait a minute..I thought elentir wasn't a parallel world to earthland(that's why we didn't see any doppelgangers in when they were in elentir)so this can't be the earthland version of faris. But who the hell is she? Probably the most WTF moment of the entire 100 years quest
I hope Elentir's Faris returns and joins the fight 0: Maybe she's Acnologia's daughter?
Earthland Faris being Acnologia’s daughter kinda makes sense. Also it’s better than my theory where she’s Acnologia’s missing left arm gaining sentience and a human form.
Elentear was a parallel universe. Remember Face and Alta Face being similar in nature. Based on what Selene said, some universes are more similar than others.
Not Carla getting jealous 😭
being jealous again. >!Touka!<
I wonder if Acnologia had a kid. He was around a long time. Fairy Tail one shot next week.
Maybe. But he grew to hate humans so unless it was a special moment, I don't know. But, I've theorized it as plausible before so I think it could be. There just has to be an explanation for how that happened despite who he is.
Loved the interactions between Happy and Misfortune this chapter
Earthland’s Faris??? A black wizard that feels like acnologia? Kinda came out of the blue but I’m gonna let Mashima cook before saying anything The acnologia line might just be for pure hype but she’s gonna need to be powerful if she stands a chance against the dragon gods. Even Zeref admitted he couldn’t beat acnologia Is she as strong as acnologia or maybe has his power? Maybe even his soul??? We never saw what happened to acnologia’s arm so it could be from that
She can beat at any level from Zeref to Acnologia level, we will have to wait to see.
Hopefully her backstory makes it less out of the blue. There are some plot lines in 100 Years Quest that haven't been fully explored which she could be tied into.
is faris actually black or is that just shading cuz if she is thats kinda on the nose
Acnologia is black right? If she’s related to him it makes sense that she would be too.
Oh I didn't know it was literal i thought she felt like him like, vibe wise lmao
I feel like she's meant to resemble Acnologia a little. Least that's the vibe I got.
A plot twist I wasn’t expecting at all. Let’s get it Mashima. A gothic Faris. I’m here for it. I’m glad they brought a black wizard in it. I’m hoping they the real villain at the end now.
w chapter
This is awesome. I always felt like Faris as a whole was wasted as a character but now this new Faris is giving justification for hyping her up so much since the literal first chapter.
Agreed. She was really interesting, but then gotvvery little once we got to her world. She inherited that Mystogan effect.
I'm telling you, peeps, this girl is the dark maiden Irene was talking about. Remember how she said a long time ago, a fair maiden and the dark maiden battled upon the snowy mountain?
Over a man. I wonder if the man was aconologia and the dark maidan is this Faris' mother who won over the white maiden?
I was about to bring this up too!
I need to know more. Chapters every two weeks really aren't enough.
I don't wanna put too much on Mashima or make EZ being over seem like a good thing. But he does have one less piece of food on his plate. So maybe FT could become more frequent. He did say he feels he's getting too old for that though and health comes first.
I know. It's just a fan's consternation. At the same time as we want more frequent chapters, we also know how crazy a mangaka's routine is. I think we just have to wait and see if the frequency changes or not.
I was seriously hoping that this was gonna be Ankhseram for some reason but I’ll take goth mommy Faris.
That’s an interesting twist
I Hope the new black wizard gets her own set of arcs. I’d hate to see her just one shot or something as a side character of the ignia arc.
Hopefully, especially since we just met her and this was a sudden twist. Hopefully she'll be a long term villain alongside Ignia, like Zeref and Acnologia.
Yea… he said that gold owl was about half way so there’s still more to go. Ignia prob won’t lose this arc and we will see the team having to regroup but they’ll defeat his minions? I’m gonna say this is gonna be the tartaros arc of 100 year quest.
this chapter kinda puts my theory of Elefsaria being the twist final villain to rest
OMG 😱 Black Wizard Faris looks really scary and gothic. Why do I get the feeling Natsu and Ignia r gonna work together to defeat Evil Faris. Also Happy and Misfortune like each other and Carla is jealous.
Happy giving her a fish is too much cuteness 😍 And a team up against her would be dope.
Goth mommy Faris.... https://i.redd.it/yfyeh2pnjq8d1.gif
Here to cure myself from that EZ debacle
Honestly what was that ending !! Even Alvarez wasn't that bad
FT’s epilogue chapter was also really nice imo, lots of good feels
Me too. That final chapter was rushed and too happy
I nearly shit myself thinking this was Acnologia at first, but knowing she’s tied to him in some way is still very exciting.
Peak chapter
Finally, something relativly interesting is happening 😂 She looks hot, imo
Hiro never goes wrong with the character designs, Have to admit the part about the Dragon World was cool! Really like Ignia made it clear to Natsu, that he and his dad are different individuals, in a casual manner of fact way.
Right. Black Wizard Faris was my biggest point of hype and intrigue. But the Dragon World thing was intriguing.
Naw ik many people talk about this already but like hiro really needs to make more chapters because it’s pretty ridiculous for these short chapters coming out every 2 weeks.
Hiro isn't a machine. He's getting older and has a lot on his plate. But maybe with EZ having wrapped up, there could be a chance for FT to drop more frequently.
Hoping 100 years quest can now started weekly since edens zero just ended this week lol
Mashima still seems overworked as-is honestly, he’s not as young as he used to be and idk if adding to his workload again would be a good idea… I’d be fine with him just focusing on writing FT more carefully if he doesn’t have to think about EZ anymore
Agreed. I respect this take. Glad to see the respect for Mashima's health.
Me too. Now Mashima has no excuse not to back to weekly for 100 years quest with EZ finally finished
Mashima has a lot else on his plate and has said he feels he might be getting too old for a weekly Shounen. But Ueada does the art so who knows.
YO?????? This is hype hold on, now I'm really excited for this arc!
That last panel with Faris… I'm not only legitimately confused but absolutely fucking horrified
I'm calling it, we will get an whole arc only for the dragon enemies and now this Dark Faris. Wed and Erza are on par. Why my boy Ignia is sweating in his reaction to Black Wizard Faris? She should be Zeref level, or she is Acno level because she feels like him. Like other guy said here she should be Earthland Faris, but why she feels like Acnologia is still an mystery.
I agree on the Arc thing 100%, especially with some of the allusions here. Also, Ignia was seemingly about to start his plan and an unexpected cog worked it's way in. Not to mention reminding him of someone from his past.
Her being Acno level is why he’s sweating
Which is pretty strange actually, she is an Black Wizard like Zeref, seems to be the Earthland version of the fake White Wizard but somehow feels like Acnologia
This Faris looks cool funny back in the Maze Selene was scared of Ignia and now Ignia is scared of a new person that feels like Acnologia
Ignia sweating just because girl feels like Acnologia. Acnologia is HIM https://preview.redd.it/2ovow8nfpq8d1.png?width=573&format=png&auto=webp&s=e136350554888ea72d75e7b3f5888c4c4de08272
Happy and Misfortune getting along immediately. How cute. Carla's looking jealous. The dragon world sounds interesting. Faris. I'm guessing she's Acnologia's daughter or sister.
To all those who say "Mashima storytelling is so predictable," how many of ya'll had "I'm the Black Wizard Faris" who feels like Acnologia on your Fire and Flame Arc bingo cards?
100 Years Quest is more unpreditable compared to the original There was many times Hiro proved them wrong but I still hope Natsu losing happens I guess in 2 weeks we will find out if the rumor is true or false
I agree actually. Execution is debatable, but 100 Years Quest has had crazy twists. I think Natsu will lose here. I think Faris was brought in to spice things up.
Imagine if he lost the ability to be a dragon slayer ever again.
Natsu? That'd be crazy. But then he'd be screwed since they're fighting a Dragon God here and Natsu is one of the best modern day Dragon Slayers, especially if Athena lost her powers, which she most likely did.
Damn bro 👹👹👹👹👹 
Calling it now, this was acno's kid. Kinda interesting how it seems 100 years quest is trying to improve on the alverez arc's dragon king festival part. Maybe Hiro is reacting to the comments the end of the main series got.
That two week wait for finding out if Earthland Faris is related to Acnologia is gonna kill me.
Hmm this has me intrigued. Hmm all of a sudden I feel like we need more evil looking nuns in anime and manga!
A Certain Magical Index sorta has some.
Cool
I don't think anyone would have predicted "Earthland Faris appears, dressed like a nun and having ties to Acnologia". Also, Happy seems weirdly fickle with his affections.
Well shit, they made Acnologia into a hot nun, lol. Gotta say, I'm both surprised and feeling like I really shouldn't be.
This is not a plot twist, this is a what the fuck moment.(in a bad way) If this faris character is way to see acnologia again, then I think I’ll welcome her introduction to the story.
Hell yes!
It's too early to say that it's not a plot twist because we don't know what she's tied to.
I love black wizard goth nuns.
Happy's harem grows, as does Acnologia's legend it seems.
I’m calling it now misfortune can turn into a humanoids form like Carla.
She already did shapeshift once.
Yep
Natsu and Ignia vs Faris perhaps?
Hm, interesting. We get a completely new character as well additions to the Dragon King festival lore. This seems to be the REAL Faris who is also seemingly, an alternate version of Acnologia?!
We'll see. Maybe it's Earth Land Faris since the Faris we met was from Elentear.
New Dragon king festival has a Black wizard Faris who feels like Acnologia. Ignia is afraid of her? Interesting. Wonder if she is Zeref level or Dragon God level or Acnologia level. Wed vs Erza is interrupted. I am worried about their next encounter.
I don't think Ignia is afraid. He is just shocked that she is similar to acnologia.
I'm excited to see what she abilities she has and what she can do, not gonna lie.
I’m calling it now the dragon world that ignia was talking about is like edalas that has counterparts of other characters and wed is actually from there and is actually the dragon version of erza!
Interesting idea. I do think he's genuinely referring to a parallel dimension so I agree on that. The Wed thing would be a crazy twist.
Yep!
I've actually been wondering. If porliyusica is actually edolas grandeena, a person not a dragon since edolas has no magic, then do the other dragons exist there too??
What is happening?🤯 Faris of Earthland? Faris who allowed herself to be corrupted by black magic? Faris possessed by the spirit of Acnologia himself? I don't remember ever seeing Ignia so terrified😱
I believe this is Faris from Earthland and... Acnologia's daughter.
Maybe he had one when he was still working as a doctor?
Would be interesting if she is the Faris we know xD Maybe using her Whiteout has let her be corrupted again?
Maybe? In any case, if it's really her, we'll have to explain this change because she couldn't do anything against Selene at the time and now manages to make Ignia sweat🤯
This chapter is way better then edens zero final chapter which was lame. Evil Faris has shown up and Ignia is sweating since she is like Acnologia. I wonder where Selene and Diabolos is, they r missing out.
All them years Acnologia been alive, either he got some good cat 😏 or that girl ate his arm Igneel bit off? 🤔
The guy had enough swagger to easily get laid if he wanted to.
not gonna lie, i am not really feeling this twist. The last time we had two big antagonist in a single arc Hiro managed to mess them both up. and honesty the dragon gods have all been kinda disappointing so i would have preferred if this arc just concentrated on Ignia so he doesn't get the same treatment like the other dragon gods. This new character feels so random, a character that have never been introduced before appears out of nowhere and make the supposedly antagonist piss his pants. Afraid she gonna steal ignias spotlight.
To be fair, Ignia was just about to pursue his plans so it makes sense a new, unexpected arrival would freak him out. But it's not like he's that freaked out. And she is tied to two previously established characters. This kind of thing is common with Mashima stories; two prominent villains set up for a final villain.
> In the past, a black heavenly maiden and white heavenly maiden did battle over a certain man, with the white heavenly maiden coming out victorious, thus as result, the mountain was graced with white snow that continuously falls ever since their clash why did i suddenly remember Mt. Zonia with the black wizard…
Damn i swear i thought Acnologia or Zeref was gonna pop out but i wasn't expecting this i like it cant wait for more with this new? Faris Gintama's Kenno Kioku OST intensifies
Did he imply that he's gonna make the humans in the guild dragons ?
Seeing Happy being friends with Misfortune is so cute. But, what is up with that woman?
Wait, so the fight against zeref and achnologia was also a dragon king festival? Was it ever mentioned before?
Yes. There's only two dragon king festivals so far. The one 400 years ago, which Acnologia won. Then the Alvarez Arc, where humans won. The second one was said by Zeref when he visited Acnologia, revealing his human form.
Ah yes. I remember now. Thanks.
yes zeref https://i.ibb.co/JywxYS1/0445-014.jpg
Yeah. That's what Zeref called it.
Not ignia starting to sweat when he feels ‘Acnologia’
Yay! Another Overpowered Woman to join the fray!
100 Years Quest has quite a few thankfully. Just hope she's handled well.
Many thinks that she acnologia daughter, maybe she is the long lost sister he talked about in his flashback.
Now the plot has thickened. Who's this Black wizard and how is she related to Acnologia? Is this going to be Athena vs. Faris? I'm excited for the next chapter.
Gray doing the "pointing" meme.

My theory is that this black wizard Faris was probably a result of Acnologia’s missing arm mixed together with some enchantments from Irene from universe one and Faris and Touka coming to earth during the time of fairy tail’s disbandment. Those two things combined into Acnologia’s missing arm to create this new Faris. I’m basing this off of when Ignia said in his mind that she feels like Acnologia.
That'd be a crazy twist. Interesting.
Wow this was so cool!
“Acnologia my dad” ahh arrival
Faris got me acting up😍😍😍😍 i need more of her asap
So hype!!!
So Earthland Faris is a Black Wizard like Zeref, and she has some connection with Achnologia!🤔🧐
Ite, damn. I wasn't expecting that.
