Larcade Dragneel continues to be at the center of controversy in the ongoing war between the Ishgar's mages led by the Fairy Tail Guild and the Spriggan 12 spearheaded by the dark mage himself, Zeref Dragneel.
After making an emphatic appearance in the battlefield in the previous chapter, Larcade Dragneel will now test the mettle of Ishgar's most formidable swordswoman, Kagura. Chapter 509 provides action and revelation that would shake up everything to its core.
Chapter 509: Larcade vs. Kagura
-It opens with another Hiro Mashima trademark - an ecchi rendition of Kagura - with an opening message "the beauty lives in your heart."
It then shows panoramic view of the battlefield with another annotation "The heavens won't judge by who's good or evil, but who's strong or weak." There, all members of Crime Sociere badly beaten up by Spriggan 12's most powerful mage, August.
-August asks Jellal why he had to turn his back from Zeref and his teaching, to which the Crime Sociere's leader answers "I met the light... The light of the heart, that lightened my darkness." Apparently, the light Jellal is talking about his none other than Erza, who saved him from the corruption of black magic.
-Surprised with the answer, August stresses Jellal's idea that light is good and darkness is evil is all wrong. A concrete evidence of that is Zeref's son Larcade Dragneel, who was born with a great power of light. He notes that Larcade's source of power comes from his jealousy of his unclu Natsu, who Zeref truly loves.
-Cut to the scene of Kagura making her push into Larcade. The Spriggan 12 mage unleashes a flurry of light blades towards Kagura, but she's able to dodge and parry his attacks. Kagura reaches within striking distance to give him that blow.
Unfortunately, Larcade easily catches archenemy with his bare hands much to Kagura's surpris. He then transfers the blade to his left hand and use the right hand as a sword to slash down Kagura.
-August explains that Larcade is too powerful that his mother might be the only one capable of defeating him. To add intrigue, Mavis is shown in one of the panels while August mentions Larcade's mother.
-The chapter closes with a message "Only one thing can fight against despair mendaciously showed as heaven - a heart, that knows love..."
Fairy Tail Chapter 510 Predictions: Natsu's Heart
Are we going to see Natsu going up against his 'nephew' Larcade Dragneel? And when will we ever know the relation between Erza and Eileen? All of these thing can only be answered in the next chapter. Or perhaps, as what title suggests, Natsu's heart could be the key to solving all the problems in the Fairy Tail world.
