Elfman somehow is constantly aware of his size but also not really.I wish we got the Dreyar family storyline.įelt like i havent done any headcanons in forever Unfortunately, as we all know, we don’t see it. He starts off being naggy, scolding Laxus vainly too little too late, and now, he’s finally actively trying to fix his mistakes, starting from Ivan. And it builds up into something good into Makarov’s own character development in this arc. He takes off his Fantasia costume before putting Ivan in the forefront of his mind. He was reminded of it by Gajeel and then just ‘oh, okay’ and tucked the note in his pocket to look at later.īut here, we can clearly see Makarov doing the exact opposite. Honestly, Makarov only chatting up briefly about the plan in the parade made Ivan feel like he was just an afterthought to Makarov. I wish the anime kept them in, even if they’ve got little substance behind them. It’s like the Gray and Juvia development at the casino– it’s subtle, but the fact that they actually exist does so much for my perspective on them. I wish we had more of this before we jumped straight into Gajevy in Tenrou, but these little crumbs of subtle setups that actually exist are interesting. He’s even looking at Levy here, contemplatively, foreshadowing to a future interaction of some sort. I like this initial setup for Gajeel to be someone selfless and actually cool, rather than unemotional and cold. We see him distance himself from the rest of the group in favour of this plan, and I like it. It’s much better characterization, especially since we actually see him in action. It actually tries to show and not tell with Gajeel’s character and redemption.

It’s something that really sets Gajeel apart from Natsu and more in line with Gray, which is a duality I like when we find out the many parallels he has with Gray later on.Īnd I kinda like this better than the one we got in the anime. Despite his rough, hotheaded exterior, he’s perfectly capable of covert ops. This is actually a really cool part of his character that I wish we kept more often. Gajeel isn’t in the Fantasia parade, and I’m surprised we actually see him at Raven Tail in the manga. Rambling about Fairies - Manga Chapter 128
