Someone please explain why Mashima continued _Fairy Tail_ under another title.
Why is this under a different name when the _100 Years Quest_ could also be
included in the first _Fairy Tail_ as a different arc?

Why are Fairy Tail and Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest separate series?


Most likely because he wanted to begin a new manga but planned to return to
Fairy Tail after. This probably changed due to the fact that he found someone
to continue it for him while simultaneously working on Edens Zero (the new
manga).

Despite the title, the series could continue beyond just this quest as in the
new manga, new continents, characters, etc., are introduced and the title may
have simply been the title he had in mind or simply liked for the sequel.

From storyline point of view, the whole Fairy Tail story was about the dragon
slayers, the magic dragon Acnologia and the black mage Zeref. It has already
been completed in the main story. Zeref was defeated by Natsu, so is
Acnologia.

The 100 years quest has pretty much a whole different story that has nothing
to do with Zeref and Acnologia. Thus, adding it to the main story as a new arc
would be awkward because the bridging between the new arc and the previous arc
will be very narrow.

It’s because 100 Year Quest isn’t just one arc. It’s multiple arcs that are
all part of the quest the new series is named after. For example, there’s the
Water God Dragon Arc, and now the Wood God Dragon Arc. This one quest is
divided into multiple arcs because there are several objectives and enemies
they have to fight such as the White Mage and the Dragon Eaters. The first arc
involved fighting the Dragon Eaters, and the second involves fighting the
minions of the White Mage(though the White Mage was also involved in the first
arc despite not being present.
