Fairy Tail Chapter 517 is out and centered on Wendy and Eileen and Natsu was entirely missing in action. Needless to say what happened in this chapter still kind of surprised me.

Spoiler alert: This article contains spoilers to the recently released chapter so please proceed at your own risk.

On, Fairy Tail Chapter 516, Eileen’s desire to be reborn materialized when she took over Wendy Belserion’s body. Knowing Eileen to be very powerful and ambitious, readers of this manga would, of course, expect that she would hold on to the new body for quite some time and there would be some sort of long and hard struggle for Wendy from the inside.

However, much to my surprise, the struggle for Wendy to recover her body did not take that long. Chapter 517 proved that if Eileen can enchant herself into Wendy’s body, Wendy could do the same.

After a very brief moment of flashbacks that encouraged—or helped her muster up the strength—to protect Erza she managed to enchant herself into Eileen’s body and thus the great body swap.

It was kind of a surprise and a WTF moment because it was so easy to think that Wendy is lost somewhere or locked up deep in the mind of her physical body that Eileen had in possession. Somehow she must have jumped out of her own small body and jumped—quite literally—to Eileen’s body. Like what?! Oh well, this is Fairy Tail, after all.

Of course, amidst the supposedly great battle for Wendy’s body, the author was able to inject some jokes pertaining to Eileen’s “heavy breasts.” On a more serious tone, Chapter 517 showed that the power that the particular body is capable of does not go with the body’s persona or true identity. Thus, whoever possess the body seems to be restricted to that body’s power.

The real Wendy’s body was smaller and bruised from the earlier battle not to mention that Eileen apparently still needed some time to get used to it. The real Wendy saw that as an opportunity and enchanted herself into Eileen’s more curvaceous physique, which possesses more power. The real Wendy used that power to get her body back and the day is saved.

The comments section below the manga was then flooded with jokes pertaining to Eileen’s breast. Some were saying, “the bigger the breasts the greater the power.” Besides the story on how Wendy recovered herself, not much happened on Fairy Tail Chapter 517. Hopefully, Chapter 518 will shine the spotlight back on Natsu who is at that moment struggling to survive the fusion of the dragon seeds.

Watch out for predictions on what might happen on Fairy Tail Chapter 518.

Fairy Tail Chapter 517 is upon us. The next chapter is coming out this Saturday, Jan. 14. Chapter 516 left us all in awe seeing how Irene managed to take Wendy’s body. Clearly, it was something that Erza did not expect to happen.

The great fight between Erza and Irene (now inside Wendy) will carry on to the next chapter. Plenty of work has been cut out for the dragon slayer. Killing Irene would be more difficult because she could never afford to hurt Wendy.

Is it still Wendy Belserion or is she gone for good?

In the next chapter, it has been theorized that one way or another Erza may have to strike at Wendy. Irene, on the other hand, will sense the hesitation and will use it to her advantage. She will walk up to Erza, but being in a new and smaller body she will feel a bit feeble. This will give Erza a window of opportunity to act fast—if she ever decides to strike at her friend’s body—but most likely, she won’t.

To cope in her new form, Irene will enchant Wendy’s body she could be comfortable. She will try to make Wendy’s body age a bit but not so close to her own age otherwise, she will risk using too much magic.

In the process, Erza will try to tell the real Wendy to fight Irene, hoping that Wendy is still inside her own body somehow. She will try to move closer but Irene will stop her with a seemingly fatal blast. Of, course, the Dragon Slayer will survive it.

Now the question remains whether or not there is still hope for Wendy. Will she be able to fight Irene who has completely taken control over or will she finally succumb to weakness? Hopefully, Fairy Tail Chapter 517 can answer that.

Natsu fears death: Can he stop the fusion?

Meanwhile, Igneel tells Natsu that it would have been possible to stop the fusion of the dragon seeds if he was at full strength. Unfortunately, he is weak so there is a likelihood that Natsu will die.

On the brighter side, Lucy might be the key to his survival. Seeing that Natsu is in a terrible condition, she could grab the chance to tell him how she feels. This in turn, can serve as a beacon of hope for Natsu and he might then tell Igneel he has to fight for survival as plenty of people await his return.

Natsu then feels the desire to live and Igneel asks him to follow him.

There is an ongoing theory that suggests Natsu’s fight for his life will extend Extent through Chapter 518.

Will Wendy remember?

There is a chance that she will try to fight from the inside as she remembers her friends. Fairy Tail Chapter 517 continues the battle between mother and daughter, Wendy is not entirely lost.

But while Irene has full control, Erza will try her hardest to just block Irene’s attach and not fight back for fear that she could also be hurting Wendy.

Wendy continues to remember some memories, bringing tears to her face. Irene feels Wendy’s emotions. Irene sees that Wendy remembers Grandeenay.

Again, until Fairy Tail Chapte 517 comes out to prove I am right or wrong these are simply speculations.
