Let’s go straight to the theme. What I feel most deeply about this comic is not the bloody man and pure feelings of the hero Natsu, but the tragic love between Elser and Gerald.
Can this be understood? When I was a child, I was a very good friend in adversity. Because I was of the opposite sex, I would have more or less different feelings from those of the same sex.
But fate was unfair to the two of them. Elsa was lucky to escape from that nightmare prison, and even luckier was to join the Fairy Tail guild that pays great attention to team spirit, accepted her and cultivated her. She, made her a leader like a goddess. But Gerald was trapped and did not escape. Unfortunately, he was bewitched by others, or in reality, he was deceived by others, used by others, and became a tool for others to achieve their goals. His own tragedy, doing things that cannot be forgiven by public opinion, is almost to the extent of betrayal and separation.
However, although they separated unexpectedly when they were young, they met again after 8 years, (although in the comics, Gerald grabbed Elsa forcibly), so that the two had to face the great changes between the two. , is simply the difference between yin and yang, black and white.
Because of her previous feelings, Elsa has always wanted to save her friend and first love. Her mood must be extremely complicated, especially her grief and anger. He must be extremely sad. He was crying alone, but this time he had a chance to meet him, but he looked like this again. Because his emotions were very similar to Natsu's when he lost his mind, he added a preconceived notion to himself without thinking. I believe Gerald Just like the lively, cheerful and reliable partner in the past, he has not changed. At least he is sure that there is still a world in his heart that belongs to their common memory, and there are countless reasons to convince him. These thoughts have to do with her being the embodiment of justice herself, and justice is sometimes about letting emotions take over, compassion, compassion, love, friendship, and so on.
If Gerald hadn't encountered those changes, he would definitely be a great person. According to the plot logic in the comics, he would definitely not be worse than Elsa, but because of "one slip of the hat can lead to eternal hatred", the path he chose back then has already made him face. Destroyed, unable to make up for the mistakes made, there is no turning back. He used Elsa's feelings to escape himself many times. Although he was finally repaired by the incredible Natsu, this has shown that the past memories are good, but the past is like the wind blowing, falling leaves, The passing water, there is no turning back in time, the present moment is the real person and the real idea.
The later atonement plot seems fake to me. In reality, either Elsa recovers her senses and grabs Gerard with his own hands, cuts off the love thread, waves goodbye to the past feelings, and welcomes a new life in the future, or Gerald defeats Elsa and continues to go on the loose and live a life of being hunted down. life.
The twists and turns of the tragic love story may also be a necessary element of many comics to attract readers. Not only did readers care about the drama for a long time, but it also ended in a tragic ending, with tears in the eyes.
A tragedy can make people unforgettable, a tragedy can attract attention, and a tragedy can become a story.
In the end, perhaps to comfort the reader, although Gerald lost his memory, he could still remember the reason for naming Elsa, because her hair was crimson, a warm color. It was just that little bit that made Elsa cry for a long time, sad or somewhat comforting.
Will Gerald really be able to return? Whether he really still has a blue sky in his heart can only depend on the author.
