If Mashima is generally in charge of the in canon stories of his work, I like to see him do a next generation Fairy Tail in his own writing after the 100 Years Quest. Because that would be considered canon instead of other people's own imagination.

°Plue is so adorable, I love him from RM. °Good thing more male crew members will join the EZ. °I'm glad that Justice wilk appear in the future. °I always thought that Erza's favorite flower were roses. Sensei usually draws her with roses or rose patterns on her dresses and in the final chapter of the manga he drew her combing her hair in a room full of roses. May Jellal give her, whatever it is, her favorite flower. And why not, scarlet roses sound good. Just a fangirl wish. Great interview. I look forward to the next one. Thank you, Mashima Sensei.

[@vitamindust1995]

The Rebecca question was cute - I wonder if that story or prompt he came up with on the spot would show up in the series later on. I also wish there were more EZ-related questions 🥺 But thank you for giving us Mashima content, ANN! Hope the turnout will be great for the next events 👍🏼

Can we PLEASE get Rave Master released in print. It's like the only major piece of Hiro Mashima manga that's not readily available. Is it REALLY too much to ask the first 32 volumes get rereleased in 10 3-1 Omnibus Editions (I say 3-1 because the last three volumes have been available in that format for years so it just makes sense to rerelease them like that for the consistency)

Such pedestrian questions.

[@animenewsnetwork]

Why didn't you submit a question?

[@binkyboy448]

​@@animenewsnetwork I personally submitted tons, like: - How many ideas in 100YQ are Mashima's and how many are Ueda's? - What were Mashima's discarded plans for Acnologia's backstory? - If Mashima didn't want to kill off FT characters, why did he keep writing so many fake-out death scenes after another? - What's one story arc that turned out totally different from what Mashima first imagined? - What inspired Mashima to make the main villain of EZ a twist on a certain type of character he's written in so many of his series?

[@animenewsnetwork]

@@binkyboy448 Some of those are really good questions. Sorry they didn't make it in. I don't see it on Twitter, where did you submit it ? ANN Forum ?

[@yuki654]

It's true that for me, he had some good questions on the ANN forum. But maybe ANN connect will use binkyboy448 and forum questions next time.

[@bowpro6670]

Hmm

[@nurdeeps5011]

omg

[@jowhite9195]

Wow, I can just sense the irritation from the overwhelming questions about fairy tail, c'mon people the dude clearly wants to be done with fairy tail and focus on edens zero, you can tell by the tone in his voice how eager he was to answer EZ questions compared to FT questions

[@AutoOpz]

I didn't get that sense. Of course it's likely that he wants to talk about the present rather than the past, but I don't think he was really irritated by the questions being about fairy tail. I think he understands that Fairy Tail is one of the most internationally popular manga of all time. I mean, him not having an ending planned for 100YQ is surely a sign he doesn't want to be done with it. I also think Hiro would understand that there aren't that many Eden's Zero fans right now, since it's anime hasn't come out yet, which is probably why he's more excited when he gets questions about that series. But really, just let the fans ask what they want. Even if he is irritated by the amount of fairy tail comments, it's something he probably would've expected. I'm sure he appreciates every one he gets, and it's over anyway, so let's leave it at that.

[@PinkThreadOfDestiny]

100YQ is also his work.He may not be doing the drawing part but he is the one writing the story so people have the right to ask about it :P

[@mirastraussfan9975]

You also have to remember all of this happend because Mashima rushed FT to make Edens Zero he said in afterword after Chapter 545 that he wants to make something else since Alvarez Started 100 Years Quest happend because many people didn't like the rushed final fights , If he had done them properly no one would be asking or pressuring Hiro for more Fairy Tail We would have gotten the Epic climax fight and Mashima could've ended it different ways , But let's see how 100 Years Quest will be.

Sorry, I didn’t see a lot of interesting questions. But the two worst in my eyes is: who’s the strongest in fairy tail? Obviously he will answer acnologia. But I think the person who asked this question wanted to know who is the strongest in the FT guild? But I think he would have answered gildarts. The second question is, does the flower love erza? Why do you ask that?

I'm disappointed with this interview. How could you not pick the questions fans had about wanting a RAVE anime remake? The 20th anniversary of the manga was last year and the 20th anniversary of the anime is next year. RAVE deserves a full adaptation.

[@yuki654]

I am also disappointed with this interview but if he has a remake of the anime rave master mashima will be able to announce it in these 4 announcements so your question will have just had either a no or I can not say anything yet

[@rob19ny]

@@yuki654 I did not ask if there will be a RAVE anime remake. So your response has nothing to do with my question.

[@yuki654]

@@rob19ny No my answer just meant that if he has a rave remake your best chance of getting an answer on the 4 announcements that the question answer

[@animenewsnetwork]

Creators never answer the question about "will there be a remake/sequel/etc." If nothing is decided, they don't have an answer to give, and if something is decided, they aren't allowed to answer the question until the official statement is made. That's why we don't ask.

[@amalad27]

I wish for years communication with you Hiro Mashima-san for my great dreams for our Fairy Tail ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. The first dream for Fairy Tail is crossover with Dragon Ball Super, Sonic the Hedgehog , Shining series , The Legend of Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, Sorcerous Stabber Orphen (original Anime and Reboot), Slayers, Marvel, and many my Series. I hope you Hiro Mashima-san with Kodansha to collaborating with Akira Toriyama-san, Toyotarou -san and Shueisha for to create a Dragon Ball Super x Fairy Tail I want it for more then 5 years where Ankhseram the true enemy to be a Main Antagonist. I want him to be a Great Evil Lord and more powerful then Frieza, Moro, Destroyers, Angel, even Great Priest, Black, Zamasu and Fused Zamasu from Dragon Ball Super. I want Ankhseram to be a Main Antagonist, while Frieza, Moro and Janemba are ones of Secondary Antagonists of Dragon Ball Super x Fairy Tail I want the story to be a canon for Manga and Anime. The second dream for 6 years, is you Hiro Mashima-san to make deal and collaborating with Tamashii Nations and Bandai Spirits for to make the complete S.H.Figuarts for Fairy Tail and Rave Master . The third dream is a new Anime Crossover Games where Fairy Tail and other my Anime Series. I beg you Hiro-san to convince the Japanese publishings Kodansha, Shueisha, Shogakukan, Kadokawa, Hakusensha, and Square Enix to teaming up for to create a new Anime and Manga Crossovers I want it as a child and for years. I want new Anime Crossover Games where Fairy Tail and other my Anime Series for only our Nintendo Switch.
