Just My Thoughts Pt. 10
Fairy Tail Manga Reread Version
Ahh the very first official mission as a team. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy have to destroy a book. Of course, it’s not as easy as it seems. I love how Hiro Mashima made this their first mission because it’s almost foreshadowing the end of Fairy Tail. (Is it really foreshadowing?! I don’t know, I’m not a literary expert, I do know that this is genius.) How?! Well let me explain.
Lucy doesn’t want to destroy the book at first because she’s a fan of the author. However, as she starts to read the book, she discovers there’s a secret hidden within it. Now why does this matter and what’s it foreshadowing you may wonder. Well, looking deeper into what Lucy discovered, the book is holding secrets about a relationship between two people. In this case, it’s about a son and father, a family essentially. She’s the one who finds this out and is also the one to help break the spell (and when this happens, words come flying out of the book and changed from one perspective to another via magic). The truth about the situation between the father and son was hidden in Daybreak and twisted by time after the death of the author as he failed to communicate with his son the truth and it became corrupted in the son’s perspective as he was the one who wanted Daybreak destroyed.
Taking this information into account and how this the first mission, I think it’s very clever how Hiro Mashima demonstrates the book of END. The book of END at a glance is a demonic book that holds Natsu’s life force, his demonic powers, and connects him to Zeref, the infamous black wizard. Do you get it yet?! The book of END holds the secrets about a relationship between two people. Instead of a son and father like in Daybreak, it’s between two brothers but still a family. The book holds the secrets between Natsu’s truth and past life, a relationship twisted by the impacts of time and magic.
Aside from this, I think it’s clever how Lucy is the one to discover the secrets of Daybreak and how she is also the one to rewrite the book of END, especially since she’s filled with sadness when discovering that a simple book, bound by pages and leather holds the life of her best friend. When END is first opened up, the demonic language is displayed in red. However, after being rewritten by Lucy, it becomes golden, almost angelic if I dare say myself. The perspective is changed from Zeref to how Lucy sees Natsu or at least how Natsu is more than just words on a page.
I just love this connection. It’s absolutely brilliant!! I want to also connect this back to a former post I made about Lucy’s hair being golden and how Natsu found Daybreak which was a golden book. I would like to mention the use of the gold color to show such a connection back to the first mission and memories with Lucy is so beautiful. Maybe I’m grasping onto false hope but I love how NaLu is being colored in gold as every given chance. The plains were golden once Future Lucy found peace and who did she see first?! Natsu, of course. Another example is in the Dragon Cry movie when Natsu has flashbacks, Lucy is surrounded by warm gold light. Isn’t it beautiful?! I love them!!!
