User blog comment:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 337 - In Which I'm Not Sure Whether I Liked Or Hated It/@comment-3030647-20130629045016

Rightio. Be warned I am still on my hiatus, but it's pretty much obligatory that I comment on these blogs like the rest of you do. This chapter wasn't horrible, really. It was meant to be a happy, Fairy Tail-style ending, which we got. So, that wasn't bad.

What does annoy me though is that the lot of you keep, and keep proclaiming that Dragon Slayers are utterly useless. Deus, Aha and Hana, this is especially talking to the three of you. I do not mean to sound insulting, however, the three of you have made more Slayer and Dragon-related articles than anybody else on the wiki. I don't know whether it's hypocrisy or the like, but the fact remains that it is still there.

Secondly, the Dragon Slayers of this time have lost the role that they had hundreds of years back. Hundreds of years back, Dragon Slayers were created to kill Dragons, because of war. War does things to a person, and makes them far stronger than what they would be in a more peaceful time. Have Natsu and co. ever fought a Dragon before? No, of course not! That is one reason why they haven't been able to kill a Dragon. Second of all, you keep boasting that regular elemental magic can achieve the same feats as Dragon Slayers, and I'd like to disprove that boisterous claim of yours, with a theory I have designed:


 * Dragon Slayers, simply put, are able to consume any type of draconic magic, that is, magic coming from Dragons themselves. How have I designed this theory? Well it's a bit peculiar in that it's just made from different sources of information and the like. By no means am I saying to wholeheartedly accept this theory, however, if you fail to even recognize a bit of validity in this statement, then you are being conceited and unappreciative of other people's opinions, something which is not good for an admin's reputation, or a senior user for that matter. First of all, does everyone remember the Etherion scene? Where Natsu was able to eat Etherion. If we remove the side effects, the main point here was that he did eat something else aside from Fire. This was later proven that he could and without any tremendous repercussions, and subsequently use that power later on, as shown while he ate Laxus' Dragon Slayer Magic. And yet again shown through Gajeel eating Rogues own Dragon Slayer magic, giving him a greater boost in power. Though it is undetermined whether this boost of power is permanent or not. Nonetheless, being capable of this feat means that Dragon Slayers CAN eat other elements. But I'm not going to stop there. Does everyone remember Acnologia? Yes. And how he became a Dragon? Yes, he did have Zeref's assistance, but I truly doubt even Zeref has the ability to morph a pure human into a Dragon. To change an entire species is almost impossible in the FT-verse as we know it. So, what catalyzed this transformation? What exactly made him capable of transforming into a Dragon? Simply put, his physiology. Acnologia was noted to have slewn many, many Dragons in his time, correct? How could have he done so if the Dragon Slayers we see in the current time cannot? Well, in layman's terms, I believe he absorbed the power of the other Dragons. Their magical essence combined with his. His mental state was snapping, and his physiology was progressively turned even more into a Dragon. Doing this so many times, he was capable of killing all types of Dragons, and then, after becoming one, was he known to have a signature element? To my knowledge, I doubt he did. It almost appeared as if his magic was a combination of several magics into one, as shown through his Roar. How is this possible, you could say? Well do we remember Etherion? Does everyone remember what that blast looked like and what it did to the Tower of Heaven? Well I don't see why Acnologia's very magic can do the same thing? After so much consumption of magic, it should be very possible to do something on that scale.

And...I'm sorry for the long comment. But I believe it was necessary to point out that Dragon Slayers aren't as useless as people make them out to be. It's like in the case with Naruto, or even Bleach. People get weaker physically and mentally as peace arises, because those base survival skills aren't needed to such an extent. The power people once needed isn't necessary, and thus they diminish in strength. But it is still possible for every single Dragon Slayer to achieve such power, if circumstances allow it.

And...done.
