You're all acting like this is a surprise. Mashima knows his audience well and understands that the majority read his comic as jerk off material. The doujin authors have been cannibalizing his reader base for too long so he decided to cut out the middle man.

that honestly makes no sense, because people who read manga for jerk off material, don't need fairy tail for that. There are plenty of much... "better" manga for that. Hell, fairy tail wouldn't even count as a warmup. xD

What are you guys talking about. 462 wasn't really ecchi? The worst FT has ever gone was with those demons when that one bitch was torturing Erza.

Welp, chapter 463 is out.
If we don't see natsu's arm in 464, then I'm going to rage.

Knowing Mashima there is about a 35% chance his arm turns out to be something stupid that Natsu thought was "cool" for a gag.

igneel and the other dragons stayed in the dragonslayers bodys to prevent the dragonification that consumed acnologia, maybe Natsu has spent the time finding a way to undo the process somewhat so he can temporarily dragonify parts of him for more power or something?

Im thinking it has to be something much more powerful and specifically something that counters zeref, for him to be this confident.

Even if he went full-on dragon, he would still lose to zeref.
Now.. having acnologia himself in his arm (imagine the plot-twist if it turns out that natsu defeted acnologia during the year he was away) that would be a more interesting story.
