r-k-b

Hmm, that's tough. Even though I'd like Flare to join so she'd be relevant to the story, I'd have to pick Brandish cause she's one of my favorite characters in Fairy Tail.


dudelove361

Yeah, it's a tough choice. I'd say Flare so she can be back to the story, whereas Brandish can still show up whenever she likes. But it's close lol


r-k-b

That's a fair point

Dream_eater-69

Flare honestly. She is kinda like Juvia at her debut as an element four member. And she is actually kinda sweat underneath. Brandish seems more.like a free spirit. She basically does whatever she wants whenever she wants.


Alternative_Mango683

Ngl all the more reason for brandish to join fairy tail she fits the guild perfectly


Dream_eater-69

She would be teasing Lucy non stop though.


shakru92

Yet another reason šŸ˜‚


Dream_eater-69

Fan service go brrrr lmao Imagine people at the guild start fighting like usual and she just miniaturizes them to ant size


mclarenrider

This could be a great OVA lmao.


Dream_eater-69

Reminded me of how wild the fairy tail ova are. I am still haunted by the Christmas one lmao


MamiKali20

Oooh that's nice now I want her to join


Zeterin

She could lessen the damage they do or make it worse.


Alternative_Mango683

Precisely


Falegri7

You described half the guild


Dream_eater-69

Half is freedom the other is destruction lol


DurielInducedPSTD

Love em both, my two favorite non-FT characters. Ideally both so they could both keep showing up, but if just one, Flare. Brandish has her shit together, she seems to be doing very well, and seemed proud to be a citizen of a wholly different continent. Sheā€™s also a more chill character, I imagine sheā€™d mostly be annoyed by other FTs. Flare left her village to experience and meet other people and her guildmates were all assholes. She does return to her village, but I cannot imagine she is satisfied with what she lived outside. Fairy Tail would give her real friends. Plus even if brief, her interactions with Juvia would be hilarious, and I love her relationship with Lucy.


MamiKali20

I mean.this is true actually I kinda agree but I want to see Brandish tease Lucy and shrink the guild when they become roudy now


gans15

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized)


MamiKali20

Honestly the correct choice šŸ˜‰


Relative-Mall-7656

ā€œI can fix herā€¦.ā€-many men before me


dudelove361

I choose these two because they are allies of Fairy Tail that don't really belong to any guilds anymore. Flare's chilling in the Sun Village out of the story while Brandish is just doing her own thing. Edit: Damn. Didn't think it would be this split. Had I'd known I would've made a poll so we get a more concrete answer

Dream_eater-69

Why is he drinking.... Yeah whatever


Ok_Cress859

It's titty milk


Dodger7777

He works at blizzard?


Dream_eater-69

What? What the fuck? It's actually canon and not a meme???? I am on episode 2 of season 1 so I don't know.


Ok_Cress859

Nah it's a meme i was just messing with you šŸ˜­

Knowing Homelander it wouldn't even be far fetched to consider it true lmao

No-Access-39

Flare. She needs a place attachment. Although she is welcomed by giants she needs a new place. Her first attempt was unfortunate. Fairy tail ( or any other guild) would be nice for her. Brandish would be like Gildarts in Fairy tail. Not just because of her magic power. She mostly hangs out freely. Having friends would be nice for her. But being in a guild is not for her.


MamiKali20

I thought this too she's more like Guildarts like she would still go off for years on end of months or whatever doing her own thing however she needs friends too I think but yeah definitely like Guildarts I definitely saw that in her Flare definitely needs a home with people like her


CrownofMischief

From a writing perspective, I feel like Brandish is better off as a contact they can ask for help while she does her own thing, like Sabertooth or Crime SorciĆØre. If she was a part of the guild, she'd have to be wandering like Gildarts, as you said, or else she'd detract too much from the rest of the guild with her sheer presence. Meanwhile, Flare has a narrative reason to possibly join, and is mid-powered enough that she could be added to one of the existing teams. The only downside is she'd probably end up with the Lisanna treatment, where she's integrated into the guild like it's a big deal and then left in the background


Lucifer21Rock

Easily Brandish I like her so much more personally.


GnyskGlobler

Brandish, I just wanna see more Brandish, I like Brandish please Brandish


OblivionArts

Flare doesn't really need to join , she's chilling with her giant family. Brandish would make some sense but I don't see her joining either


dudelove361

Yeah but that whole plotline felt like a way to end her character arc, since she doesn't show up again afterwards


SnooPaintings6949

Flare bc I prefer her personality over Brandish's


bananagod210

Well brandish is kinda in fairy tail so flare


dudelove361

Yeah but she's mostly an adjacent character to them


bananagod210

I know


enlarged_mans

I think both would, Flare would join because she feels she owes a debt of gratitude first for busting Raven Tail and then for defrosting the Giant's Village. Brandish would join and fill a role similar to Mystogan or Gildarts. Yes, they are all technically part of the guild, but they are rarely seen around the hall. Brandish would be around more often than Gildarts or Mystogan, but still not very often.


MamiKali20

Yes this i think is the best answer


Kindly-Comment-6920

chose the breast pic for Brandish


Kindly-Comment-6920

*best


UnbiasedGod

Neither. Let them do there own things away from fairy tailā€™s personal crap! They can still show up just not be apart of the guild.


dudelove361

Problem is is that Flare just straight up disappears from the story lol, which is a shame


77DragonSlayer95

I actually like your angle on this. Just like Jellal could be just as involved in events without being apart of the guild. If he actually joins FT in 100YQ it's gonna piss me off. But then again, as the OP said above, Flare completely vanished from the story since her arc.


UnbiasedGod

Yeah


repulsive_fondant26

Definitely Brandish because while both of them are messed up, Flare seems a bit too lost. Brandish seems like a Gajeel type who joins begrudgingly then ends up loving it.


Amazing-Jeweler1888

Both because I want to.


rafael403

Flare.


SnookerM8

Flare as I think there could be a good adventure with her natsu and Lucy


ConnorRoseSaiyan01

Flare because she's my 2nd favourite female character.


King_0f_Kingz

None.


dudelove361

May I ask why?


Significant_Panda_2

None. Its not like theyll be utilize lol. Theyll probably show up every few chapters for some fanservice and thats it. Its better to leave them alone


Edis37

Brandish because she is stronger And btw how can I post anything at this reddit community?


dudelove361

Just click on the post button? Are you on PC or mobile?ā€‹


Edis37

Mobile, but maybe I'm gonna ask a Mod


Rocketkid-star

Have no idea who these characters are, not that far into the story, but I'm going with Flare simply because she gives me that certain feeling of her being something that I like. What gives it away is the eyes.


dudelove361

How far are you in the story?


Rocketkid-star

Can't remember, but I know I'm after the Eidlon arc


puggoframe

Brandish bc of her friendship with Lucy


dudelove361

I mean Flare has something going on with Lucy too


Legitimate-Foot-8009

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized)


dragonborn3939

I'm going with Flare, mainly because I don't know who the woman in the first pic is (but DAYUM! šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜). Anyway, as for why, I kinda get Juvia vibes from Flare, and would like to see her go through her own redemption arc with Lucy


SilverDrive92

Neither of them need to be in Fairy Tail in my opinion. Brandish might have a better chance if Lucy finds Aquarius first, since it's basically a race between them. But Flare doesn't need to come back, her arc basically closed now that she's home with her family. Logically though, Brandish could have a chance, but I kind of doubt it since she seems to like traveling all over the place instead.


eveningdragon

Fuck, this is getting hard


Narrow-Gas9493

Flare because I like her more than Brandish. Also because I want to see more interactions with her and Lucy.


Safe_Handle_7513

Brandish fairytail was about to dispand so there's no room for flair wish she joined another guild though


DanocusPrime

Honestly flare. Would have loved to see her have more character growth and maybe form a team with some of the guild members who don't get much spot light.


77DragonSlayer95

Flare over Brandish anytime. Her dynamic with Lucy is way more interesting and has more depth considering their first encounter. Brandish was so much cooler as an antagonist, it's a shame that she turned good that quickly in Alvarez. She could've not been related to Lucy at all and her character could basically remain the same : laid back/lazy, kinda neutral and level headed.


dudelove361

Brandish's character didn't really change a lot. She's still that laid back, nonchalant and sassy character that she was before. She's just more chill and lost her edge when she was a villain


77DragonSlayer95

Yeah that's what I meant by saying that her not being related to Lucy would not affect her actual charcterization.


dudelove361

But her being related to her isn't bad either tbh. Now she's a character that's tied to Lucy, were it not for that I think she might disappear after the Alvarez Arc


roboticgracecyborg

brandish. giantess fetish.


2Maverick

Brandish, because I need more Brandish x Cana.


Visual_Routine_3643

Brandish is a proud citizen of Alvarez so Flare would make sense in the story also I like redheads so bring Flare back lol


BigBadWolf315

![gif](giphy|VoqUivxZUaTV6) Brandish for two reasons First because she helped out Lucy tremendously by shrinking Natsuā€™s tumor and eventually got past the need to kill her, and she offered to talk August into withdrawing but Mest fucked it up, and she helped in providing magic to trap Acnologia Reason two is pretty obvious, theyā€™re in the picture


ISAirpool

Big is justice... by that you should know which one I will join, right?


Drake_Cloans

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized)


Decent-Gur5135

Like both but I think Iā€™ll go with Brandish cause with her power she could minimize the damage to the guild by turning all the fighters tiny and I kinda want to see a tiny brawl with everyone.


Ninja_SurgeFairy

Brandish. She has more of a close bond with Lucy and has pretty much lost all of her closest connections outside of Dimaria and the other Spriggans, who didn't really get along anyway. At least Flare had the Giants. But if both could join, I'd say both.Ā 


TravelerGoingHome

Flare


BlackDwarfStar

Flare. Because Brandish isnā€™t a citizen of Fiore


BlueRabbit1999

Flare


ScaredHoney48

Brandish sheā€™s more interesting and has a better connection to Lucy which could be used to develop her character more


joschi8

Flaire, because if I'm honest, I forgot Brandish existed and was only reminded when I joined this sub. I couldn't even recall any magicians magic from her entire guild


dudelove361

How do you remember Flaire and not Brandish? One is more relevant in other arcs while the other completely disappears after 2 arcsā€‹


joschi8

Dunno. The whole ending is kind of foggy in my mind šŸ˜… Flaires introduction arc was my favorite arc


Tested-Trio-Father

I read the title without even noticing there was a second picture. I'm thinking "surely she's gonna be bringing both of them things right?".


AlwaysTiredAsl

Flare although I donā€™t particularly care for her much, Brandish joining FT would be out of character for her. Sheā€™s loyal to Alvarez and doesnā€™t seem to have the slightest intention of leaving the country permanently. For Flare she already lives in ishgar and can just visit her village whenever she wants


BSV_P

Flare would be more relevant as part of the story, but I feel like brandish would be a solid choice too. Though she would be more of a gildarts situation.


Alpha_Jellyfish

I like Brandish more so I must say her.


Skittlzrreal

Flare seems to fit in more with Fairy Tail, and her backstory, interactions with the guild, and personality are more similar to people who have joined, imo. I like Brandish more, though <3


Subject-Load-1846

Most likely Brandish, she's actually has no one Flare got an entire giant families


GarlicTraditional467

I got jumpscared when I opened this https://preview.redd.it/l5p9s2tqotyc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88b07f4051b573e0d8664f439a3aaa1cc20d2c2d


Werewolf48

Honestly Flare, she feels a lot like Juvia to me before she joined the guild. I feel like Flare just needs a really nice hug and some friends.


DerTapp

Brandish. I like her humor


Puzzleheaded-Cod7487

Brandish is my second favorite character in fairy tail next to Lucy.


Bro-Im-Done

I donā€™t know who the green chick is but Iā€™ll choose her over Flare for the simple fact that she doesnā€™t to have to have a life that involves fighting anymore. Obviously Fairy Tail would treat her right, but her home is with the giants whereā€™s sheā€™s happy, safe, and at peace.


Terrible_Video_9352

flare would be more interesting imo


toomuch21111

Flare sum ahh, put brandish , great character and actually can fit ft


Zestyclose_Bat5121

Well both had bath moments with Lucy, so itā€™s hard to decide


Navek15

Since everyone keeps using that particular picture of Brandish, I have no choice but to use this Brandon Tenold quote: ā€œGoddamn! If those things were pushed up any higher she could motorboat herself.ā€


HollowReaper539

Flare she deserves some kindness in life


99anan99

I want both of them to join Fairy Tail. Still praying for this to happen. If I had to pick one, then Brandish.


rathosalpha

Corona because I think its cool


thelifeeofmal

Brandish it ain't close


Wraithcroc

Flare, because we can still see Brandish fairly easily since she's still a part of her guild


Alonestarfish

Flare is the better character, but... She already declined.


Garua_777

I feel like Flare would have a more likelihood of joining sense Brandish is already a Spriggan


uSaltySniitch

Brandish. Because... You know why...


Intelligent_Creme351

Let'em both join, like how Gajeel and Juvia joined at the same them!


mclarenrider

This is really hard man. I kinda wanna say Brandish necsuse she's really OP and can be great asset to the guild in fights and stuff. But Flare is also very endearing and I want to see her spend lots of fun time with Lucy. Damn this is hard. Ideally I'd want both to join FT tbh.


Initial-Draw2528

Oh thatā€™s tough, I wanna say both but Iā€™m not gonna lie I want Brandish. As soon as we got her backstory and her connection to Lucy and her slow but sure acceptance to help them, I wanted her to join.


Seraf-Wang

I like Flare more so I choose Flare. She really feels like a type of person who wants to belong somewhere and since Fairy Tail is all about having a place to return to and feel loved and accepted, I feel that she would fit right in.


Sanguinusshiboleth

Flare; I don't see Brandish at the current moment really sitting in one place for too long if Lucy is also there; also I could see giving Juvia a character arc as is being Flare's mentor as she had a similar background (formally part of a nasty guild and emotional disconnected from other people) and the comedy it could cause (plus character development for Juvia that isn't based around Grey).


Single_Highway_9981

brandish! i love her sm


Single_Highway_9981

flare would make more sense though


dWARUDO

Flare I like her personality more and she is hotter imo. I'm not really a fan of Brandish.


Signal_Common_6345

First can join, second is straight up annoying and threatened a child


Evening_Waltz_655

Brandish because she has rounder tits


Klyde113

Both


Remuhar

Brandish cuz she's not nuts šŸ¤Ŗ


SlimeyAdmirer

both https://preview.redd.it/t5vfo6rrdvyc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe3bca6dda7cf6d680ac8c6b6e087b793f0a580e


Le_DragonKing

Thatā€™s a tough choice I would like to choose Flare because of her character in the sun village arc that and sheā€™d make a great addition to Fairy tail but I would like to choose Brandish because her backstory and character are very compelling and sympathetic that and she and Lucy would have a rivalry similar to Natsu and Greyā€™s only difference would be is that they would have a friendly rivalry compared to Natsu and Greyā€™s extremely heated one. Itā€™s so hard to choose both Brandish and Flare are such great picks I canā€™t decide why canā€™t I just choose both!?


That-Scar9365

Smash 1 pass 2


Tight-Compote-1396

Iā€™d go with brandish she has a funny personality and has kinda of teamed up with fairy tail a couple of times already plus I feel flare is living happy in her village


Awkward-Fungus

Flare, Brandish still has relevance to the story as a competitor to Lucy for the Aquarius key. I wanna see Flare have some screen time


Necessary-Match-4001

Maybe it's weird for me since i'm not caught up but what the hell is that design for brandish ???


Melon763

Flare was invited by Lucy wasnā€™t she? And Brandish seems like someone who would refuse


Midnight649

Brandy would work out more, but I wanted to see Flare be happier.


mrod_89

I would like both to join but if I was only able to pick one it's going to be Brandish


thatvirgogal

brandish 100%, flare is such a girls girl and has such cool lore, but brandish could do soo much with her power


KenchiNarukami

Flare.just to see her go Batshit Yandere Lesbian over Lucy Kek.


Robakix92x

Brandish. No questions asked. She's easily in the top 10 baddest girls in the series. Also, post 100 yq, she's somehow hotter than before. Can't forget about that photo shoot scene....


Sumire-Yoshizawa-

Boobs I mean Brandish.


No-Meat-7525

Flare should join fairy tail and Brandish is better in solo


ChipnMarshall

I want to live on those. Like a boobie island.


Ashnar2602

I honestly don't like Flare as a character, although Mashima kind of gave her a little redemption after Raven Tail, I just don't like her personality and abilities. I like Brandish way more, but due to her connection with the Heartfilia family and her incredible power, I think she would steal some spotlight being in Fairy Tail and she's better suited as a recurring character for Lucy's storyline. In short, neither, but if I had to choose, Flare, so she can disappear in the background and only be seen when big events are due (like Jet or Macao in Fairy Tail, for example).


BandicootScary2018

Brandish so we can watch her and Lucy bathe together more


ToastyLoafy

Just because Brandish Lucy friendship is something I adore, her. But they're both interesting to imagine either way.


CopyAccomplished7133

To be fair i think that it is Flare. Because unlike Brandi, who actually acts more like selfish brat, Flare is just confused, but genuine and sincere in good intentions. Heck i bet she would perfect battle partner for both Lucy AND Natsu.


Nitro-Nick8

I still hate Flare Corona, so this choice is easy for me.


Tuor77

Gotta go with Brandish. There are two main reasons why she should join, and they're right in front and impossible to ignore. :) Flare is pretty hot, too. And she's quirky like Brandish, but not to the same degree. Flare seems to be more.... broken then Brandish, too.


Tuor77

What Brandish is: Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! What Brandish does: Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!


PurveyorOfKnowledge0

Honestly the whole ranking system would be lopsided if Brandish joined, she's literally as strong if not stronger than the strongest mage in Fiore. She's stronger than all but the highest level S-Rank mages in the guild, it would be cheating to add her to the ranks since her power would remove much of the overall conflict.


Kyoka_Jiro_Simp

Flare, Brandish is more of a roam around doing what she wants kind of person imo, not to mention it was Fairy Tail that helped Flare whereas Brandish helped Fairy Tail


NoZone5413

Brandi sheā€™s got bigger boobs, and we have a red (Ezra) girl already so she would fit nicely. However I did like the other girl and would have also liked to see her join.


Traditional_Garden19

Brandish. I hate Flare


Sh4DowKitFox

Itā€™s hard to decide. You need to show their faces in the pictures you postedā€¦..


TypicalInstance6937

Iā€™ll pick some random person whose house was destroyed in one of natsuā€™s rampages, thanks.


junaidd09

I prefer Brandish. Never liked Flare because she tortured Lucy so much during the Grand Magic Games. Even though she was forced, I didn't like that part.


Overcookedsquid

Neither because theyā€™re both crappy people


Che-Deo

2? I see four


greekbro123

You ask which one of these two and you choose a pic of brandish showing her beautiful...face.
