I swear if that is Natsu's new design I will be happy as a clam (though I oddly get this Naruto vibe, like Hiro took some inspiration from Naruto's post-timeskip/The Last outfit).

On another note, I kinda hope that Natsu will semi-reform Fairy Tail after the timeskip, but this time essentially comprised of Team Natsu and maybe a few guild members that he's familiar with (a la Gajeel, Levy, the Raijinshuu), and have them operate as a travelling Independent Guild with a similar goal as Crime Sorciere, except with their target being Acnologia, and not Zeref.

Plus, it would mean Hiro could borrow plot ideas from other. better shonen that have a big travelling and freedom theme (*Cough*One Piece*cough*). And to be honest, Hiro borrowing better plots from better series sounds good to me right now. As long as the art stays good that is.

Unless he decides to do his 'own spin' on them...

Huh, I have no idea what to think now.
