Fairy Tail 457 is the latest chapter to Hiro Mashima's popular manga series. It follows the adventures of a teenage wizard named Lucy Heartfilia who joins a guild and teams up with Natsu Dragneel in the search for the dragon Igneel. The series was then adapted into an animated television series, which began broadcasting in Japan in 2009.

In an interesting turn of events, 17-year old celestial wizard Lucy Heartfilia will find Brandish in her bath and fighting will consequently ensue. According to Manga Helpers forum, Fairy Tail Chapter 457 will feature a face-off between the two in what is said to be a battle of the naked.

User fantasy0 writes that Lucy is taken to follow Brandish' commands against her will while in the tub. She tells herself, "Somehow I want to compete, but I can not use my magic, My Opponent is one of Spriggan 12. There is No chance of winning this." Loki then appears at that moment to save her from Brandish by using his magic form from the star spirit world.

Another user, SirSamuel016 suggested an alternate plot also beginning with a bath tub scene where Brandish orders Lucy around. Brandish then points out that she knows Lucy is Layla's daughter and becomes aggressive. She begins to shrink the house but Lucy manages to escape despite being naked.

The user further contested fantasy0's spoiler saying, "The part with Loki was probably a fake lot of spoilers, it happens sometimes. Of course, he could be summoned by Lucy but the dialogue in the first lot that was out doesn't really match the second lot, so I'd say the first lot was fake."

Over at Mangafox.me, one user said that Brandish may be the one responsible for Layla's untimely death. Another user commented, "But Brandish isn't the sort of person that would just go and kill because she wanted to. Nor is she a revenge seeking sort of person. There is always a purpose behind what she does.

If Brandish did kill Layla, then Layla must've had something Brandish wanted or needed. But what could it be? It's probably something to do with the origin of magic. but what if it was something contained in layla? Then maybe it was passed down to lucy."

Despite opposing points, waiting fans continue to hope for another epic battle for Fairy Tail Chapter 457. Meanwhile in another story arc, it was revealed that Erza Scarlet is still being held by Ajeel and that Laxus will be the defining factor to Ajeel's defeat. According to Fairy Tale Wikia, the preceding chapter left Erza completely vulnerable and unmatched as she found that she is unable to use Requip while aboard Ajeel's flagship.

Fairy Tail Chapter 457 is an upcoming chapter in Hiro Mashima's popular manga series. It is entitled Battle of the Nudes and is set to be released on October 21, 2015.
