'Fairy Tail' chapters 520, 521 spoilers: A reawakened Natsu takes the fight to greater heights as battlefield reverts back to Fiore

"Fairy Tail" is a popular manga series written and illustrated by Hiro Mashima and has been serialized on the "Weekly Shounen Jump" magazine since 2006. | Kodansha Comics official website

Now that Natsu is back on his feet and Irene's Universe One enchantment is gone, the battle against the Alvarez Empire can proceed on a fairer and more solid ground in the next chapter of "Fairy Tail."

The two previous chapters have shown two of the key players in the ongoing war getting reacquainted with their humanity. In effect, this led the long-running Japanese manga series to where it stands now. Irene's death by her own hands has also put an end to her World Reconstruction Enchantment, which brought the Kingdom of Fiore back to more familiar grounds. And with Natsu destroying the two conflicting seeds inside him by simply choosing to be human, the fight against Zeref and what remains of his Spriggan 12 will finally come to a head.

One of the long-standing questions may also find an answer soon: will killing Zeref also end Natsu's life? Natsu seems confident this will no longer be the case. He still has things he wants to do and battles he wants to win, and as long as he doesn't lose sight of the choice he made to be human, he may not have to worry about E.N.D.'s purported fate.

The upcoming chapter 521 titled "The Mightiest Mage" may either shift the narrative to Zeref, who is considered to be the strongest black mage of all time, or keep up with Natsu and his newfound strength after fully identifying himself as human. Will the much-awaited rematch between the two Dragneels finally take place soon?

Meanwhile, fans are wondering if, by simply declaring himself human, Natsu has essentially become one and is now free from the bonds of both the dragon and demon seeds that were growing inside him. A fan on Reddit observed that the seeds were not the source of magic after all, but they were merely infections trying to control the magic user's body. Now that Natsu has seemingly overcome these bonds, will he be able to wield both dragon and demon magic?

Additionally, with Natsu also setting his sights on a future showdown with Acnologia, Tripped Media speculated that the evil dragon's back story and true motives will soon be explored like with all of the other evil characters to ever grace the pages of Hiro Mashima's popular manga series.

A new chapter of "Fairy Tail" comes out next week on the "Weekly Shounen Magazine."
