I just want to share my thoughts about the latesr chapter of Fairy Tail: 100 year quest (Chapter 208).

Man, seriously? Juvia dies again? Don't get me wrong, I love her so much but can Mashima stawp using female characters getting hurt/dying to like help a male character power-up, man. ✋️😭

I was so excited to see how Juvia beats the shit out of this water dragon because yes I believe her—when it comes to water, she's unstoppable. But she gets 'killed' after she dealt one damage bro?! PLEASE MAKE THIS ABOUT HER STRENGTH INSTEAD OF DEATH. I'm sure Gray would realise he loves her either way if she shows how badass she is...

I swear I'm super thankful for the amount of Gruvia content. As a Gruvia lover since day 1, I'm eating this shit up BUT come on give my girl the credit she deserves. 😞

I hope SHE'S the one who comes back all powered up and she's the one who defeats the water dragon god plsplsplspls 🙏🙏🙏

100YQ Chapter 208 - Gray's dialogue (raw breakdown)

It's been quite awhile since I did one of these! I just wanted to touch on some aspects of the chapter, mainly Gray's inner thoughts on the first page, and final pages. In regards to the structure of chapter 208, it’s not that Gray suddenly “realized” how much he loves Juvia in that moment because she was about to die again. No. Everyone knows Gray has loved Juvia for a long time (including Gray himself) as supported by the manga/official content.

Using the official translation, Gray’s full reflection (in this chapter) is: “It was normal to have them by my side. I’ve been supported by Ur… by Lyon… by Fairy Tail….and by Juvia. I never…noticed… I took it for granted that she was always by my side… so I never noticed… how I feel… That I love her this much…”

Gray is the narrator of this chapter. It’s from his POV. During the final pages, he was actually finishing a thought he had already started from the first page. Let's break it down starting with page one.

そばにいるのがあたり前になっていた → “Them being by my side had become something normal.” なっていた = past progressive This is clearly past tense, describing a state that had already become true.

支えられ… / 支えられてきた “I was supported…” / “I had been supported…” (by them, and by Juvia) 支えられてきた = “have been supported up until now” (past → present continuity) This is past-oriented narration, specifically: Past state (なっていた) Ongoing past into present (〜てきた)

So it’s not a sudden realization — it’s Gray reflecting on something that had already been true for a long time.

気付いて...なかった... → "I hadn't... noticed..." (past negative)

そばにいるのがあたり前すぎて… → “I just really took having you/her near me/by my side for granted…” (present form いる, but describing a continuing state in the past context)

気付いてなかったんだ… → “That I hadn't noticed…” (past negative) 自分の気持ちに… → “My own feelings…”

こんなに好きだって事に… Konnani suki datte koto ni… → “That I love you/her this much…” (好きだ / I love you/her = present tense, but here it reflects a realization about feelings that existed already)

Even though the Japanese raw uses some present forms (いる, 好きだ), the main verb 気付いてなかった (didn’t realize) puts the whole statement in a past realization context. So yes, it expresses a realization in the past about feelings that were already there. At the beginning of the chapter, Gray is reflecting on the people who have always been by his side, and he specifically ends that thought with Juvia. The final pages simply complete that same reflection as everything unfolds. So this isn’t a brand-new realization—it’s a continuation.

Again, the manga has shown that Gray has loved Juvia for a long time, repeatedly. What this moment does is highlight just how deep those feelings are, NOT introduce them for the first time (obviously). Furthermore, Gray using こんなに (konnani) “this much” can also be translated as “to this extent”. Essentially, he loves her SO MUCH IT HURTS and didn't realize his feelings were to this extent until now. Which is backed by his “she’s my power to live” statement from the Aldoron arc. In Japanese, that means “because there is you, I am living”. I see where the confusion comes in because Mashima structured the chapter in a way that can make it seem like Gray is only now realizing his love, but in reality, he’s putting into words something that’s been there for a while. And since the chapter ends on an ellipsis, it feels like Gray hasn’t even fully finished expressing those thoughts yet. Hopefully Mashima expands more on them next chapter. Bonus: The chapter cover is adorable!! And the title...... 氷の愛 (Kōri no ai) Ice Love ....is perfect. :)

GRAY ADMITTING HIS FEELINGS!

siesporamor

there's something special about the way that gray is so madly in love with juvia that he can't picture her doing anything but being cute. and he's still being a tsundere about it!!!

I literally can't get over this. I have waited so many years for him to finally admit it and I think it's so incredibly special that he didn't just say he loves her but that he states that he didn't realize that he loved her this much

I don't think Juvia is dead. I mean it would be insane for them to have Gray admit this to himself just for her to die. I am curious as to how she'll be okay though and what happens during and after their fight.

Gruvia is here to stay and I am just so happy.
