The Japanese manga “Fairy Tail” ended Chapter 528 with a cliffhanger. Someone aboard Christina told Ichiya that she is a “Fairy Tail” member. They recognize her but did not expect the woman to be on the vessel. Fans of the anime hope the answer would be unveiled in “Fairy Tale” 529.

Mysterious Woman’s Identity

Games Anime cites the speculations swirling around the identity of the mysterious woman. Among the guesses of fans of the anime are that she could be Anna Heartfilla, Layla who is Anna’s descendant and Lucy’s mother, or Irene Belserion, the queen of all dragons. Her identity would only be revealed next week when “Fairy Tail” 529 airs.

The anime website notes that the previous chapter corrected past rumors that “Fairy Tale” 529 would feature Acnologia since he was not fighting Natsu or Zerfe. Acnologia was rather exactly where he was last spotted in his human form while venting anger on the lifeless body of Irene Belserion, while Erza and Wendy, still shocked, watched him. But the Black Dragon noticed that Wendy smelled like Irene.

Acnologia realized Wendy is a dragonslayer which triggered his hatred for dragonslayers. He attacks Wendy and Erza in “Fairy Tail” 529, but Jellal’s arrival was just in time to shield the two from Acnologia’s magic. The woman’s identity appears the key to knowing the key to defeat Acnologia whose slaying of Irene Ezra found to be distasteful.

Movie Version Of Anime

Meanwhile, besides the anime, fans of the manga are also looking forward to another movie version. “Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry” would debut in Japan on May 6, Comicbook reports. Hiro Mashima, creator of the manga, would oversee the production of the franchise’s second film since he is the movie’s executive producer.

A trailer of “Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry” was released recently showing a lot of familiar characters such as Erza, Grey, Juvia, Happy, Lucy and Natsu. But the movie’s focus would be on the past of Natsu Dragneel, the wizard who possesses the abilities of a dragon and who could travel the kingdom of Fiore. He is seeking Igneel, the dragon who is his missing foster father. Besides Japan, the movie would also be distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Madman, Crunchyroll reports.
