Personality
Gray has a laid-back personality, but he will often get serious when the time calls for it.[9] He and Natsu have a friendly rivalry, and while they can often be seen fighting one another verbally or physically,[10] they are actually concerned about each other.[11][12] Gray was quite obstinate and reckless when he was younger. Over time, he has attained a more cautious attitude towards life, and deals with problems carefully. He is really concerned about his comrades and is truly loyal towards the guild, but tends to trash talk every now and then.Also, he has a disturbing habit of unconsciously removing his clothes at inappropriate moments.
History
Ur trains Gray
Gray was from a village up in the North, but the entire village was destroyed by the demon Deliora. Gray's parents were killed in the incident as well. Lyon, along with Ul, a powerful ice Mage who Jellal claimed could have been one of the Ten Wizard Saints, came investigating Deliora's destruction, and found Gray alive among the ruins.[18] Ur took Gray in as her second student and taught him and Lyon Ice Make. Gray accepted the training in order to eventually avenge his deceased parents by killing Deliora using her unorthodox methods.[19] Gray also inherited the unusual habit of stripping unconsciously from Ur.[16]
Erza and Gray - hard start
When Gray heard of Deliora's current location, he decided to challenge it, ignoring Ur and Lyon's warnings.[13] Gray collapsed from battling Deliora and woke up to see Ur battling it. Ur told him to take Lyon and run. Gray carried Lyon and saw that Ur had lost her leg and replaced it with ice.[20] Suddenly, Lyon woke up and tried to cast Iced Shell, but Ur stopped him by freezing him. She explained to Gray that Iced Shell was the only thing that would beat Deliora, and was surprised to know that Lyon had tried to do what she planned. She then used Iced Shell which caused her body to be destroyed. Before turning into ice, she made Gray promise to tell Lyon that she died and told him to step into the future, since she would seal his darkness. The next day, Lyon woke up and discovered Deliora covered with ice and Ur's sacrifice. He blamed Gray for killing Ur.[21]
Following Ur's advice to find strong wizards in the west, Gray arrived at Fairy Tail and asks the master for a way to reverse the effects of Iced Shell. Makarov, however, tells him that the only method that can possibly reverse it would kill Ur in the process.[22]
SynopsisEdit
Macao arc Edit
Gray knows how to make a first impression.
Gray first appears when Natsu and Happy bring Lucy Heartfilia to Fairy Tail. He is sitting in his shorts - he forgot to wear his clothes - and he immediately gets into a fight with Natsu.[23] He stops when Makarov orders them to do so and he gets scolded by him about his accidental nudity during his missions.[24]
Daybreak arc Edit
Gray fighting one of the Mages.
Gray finds out the reward for Natsu's latest mission and he quietly wishes him luck, saying things were going to be interesting.[25] Later, he was attacked by Natsu, when they were coming back from a job. He tells Natsu, Lucy and Happy that Erza Scarlet was coming back, which made them uneasy. They decide to head back, when they are ambushed by a band of Mages that want to eat Happy. Gray and Natsu defeat them and hear one of them mention "Lullaby".[26]
Lullaby arc Edit
Natsu and Gray bicker behind Erza's back
Gray is about to get into a fight with Natsu yet again, but hearing about Erza's return from Loke makes him stop.[27] Later, he is forced to go on a mission with Natsu, Erza and Lucy, much to his chagrin, but he goes anyway.[28] On their way to their mission, he shows Lucy his abilities as an Ice Mage. Lucy then mentions that Gray's ice abilities and Natsu's fire abilities are probably what causes their quarrels.[29]
They forgot about Natsu.
When they get off the train, they continue to discuss the mission, only to realize that they forgot to bring the motion-sick Natsu with them.[30] After they are reunited with Natsu, they learn that Natsu had a confrontation in the train with a member of Eisenwald named Kageyama. Natsu states that he had a strange kind of flute. Lucy then pipes in at this moment, saying that she had only heard about it in books, but that it might be "Lullaby", the flute of death.[31]
Rayule appears
Eisenwald takes over the Oshibana train station and the five of them force their way in, quickly encountering Eisenwald and fighting him.[32] Erigor, however, has other plans and flees the scene with Gray and Natsu in hot pursuit.[33] However, the two decide to split up and Gray runs into one of Eisenwald's elite members, Rayule.[34]
Gray vs. Rayule
While the two are fighting, Gray learns about the plan to kill all the guild masters at their regular meeting. Gray promptly freezes Rayule's face, ending their fight.[35] He then informs Erza of this and they go to find Kageyama, so he can dispel Erigor's wind wall.[36] Kageyama, however, is stabbed in the back by Karacka, a fellow Eisenwald guild member, before he can help them.[37]
Gray loves being a man
After Lucy summons her new Celestial Spirit, Virgo, Gray compliments Virgo for being cute and as they escape, Gray is the only one to notice that Virgo and Lucy's skirts are flying up due to the wind. They then realize that Natsu and Happy are missing again.[38] As they chase Natsu and Happy with Kageyama, Gray gives him a speech about life and death, but the atmosphere is ruined when Lucy yells at Gray to kill Kageyama after he harasses her.[39]
Gray before Lullaby's true form.
They catch up to Natsu and Happy, only to see that Natsu has beaten Erigor. Gray, as usual, insults Natsu for having difficulties in the battle and insults him for his choice of clothes. As Erza congratulates the group for a job well done, Kageyama grabs the Lullaby flute and uses the Magic Four Wheel Drive to get to Clover Town, much to everyone's surprise.[40] Chasing after him, they arrive and see Kageyama with Makarov, and are about to go to him, but are stopped by guild master Bob and Goldmine. They then see that Makarov has persuaded Kageyama not to use the Lullaby's Magic. Suddenly, the flute itself starts to talk and transforms into a giant demon.[41]
Gray, Erza and Natsu vs Lullaby
Gray teams up with Natsu and Erza to defeat the demon. When the demon attacks Natsu, it misses and heads for the guild masters instead. To protect the guild masters, he uses Ice Make: Shield, and is complimented on how fast he can create the shield. He then proceeds to attack the demon with his Ice Make: Lance. With the three's combined efforts, Lullaby is defeated. However, they manage to accidentally destroy the Guild Masters' Meeting Building in the process, forcing the team and Makarov to hastily escape.[42]
Gray the intruder.
When they return, Gray arrives in Lucy's apartment, much to her dismay, to remind her that Natsu and Erza are about to begin their fight. As he watches, he is shocked to hear that Erza is to be arrested for property damage by the Magic Council.[43]
Galuna Island arc Edit
Gray found them...
Gray waits for Erza's verdict like everyone else, but he learns that it was all a hoax and he voices his displeasure about that. Gray then falls prey, like everyone else, to Mystogan's Sleep Magic as he walks in.[44] After Mystogan leaves and lifts the Sleep Magic, Gray explains to Lucy about Mystogan's actions.[45] When Natsu, Happy and Lucy take the S-Class request to lift the curse of Galuna Island, Makarov orders Laxus to go after them, saying that he is the only one who can force them to come back. Gray stands up and volunteers to get them back instead.[46]
...but they are unstoppable
Gray catches up with the three in Hargeon, who are looking for a boat to take them to the island. Gray tries to persuade them to go back, but when Natsu resists, Gray tries to use Magic. Bobo, the boat owner, then spots them using Magic and tells them that he will take them to the island. Natsu sees this as an opening and knocks Gray unconscious, ties him up and brings him along. On their way to the island, Bobo shows them the island's demonic curse.[47] Bobo then vanishes, and although Happy checks to see if he had fallen into the water, he is nowhere to be found. All of this is rendered irrelevant when a large wave hits their boat and washes them ashore. Gray, now agreeing to help, goes with Natsu, Lucy and Happy towards the the island's village and meets its mayor, Moka, who asks them to destroy the moon.[48]
Gray's Fairy Tail mark
Deeming such a task impossible, they instead investigate the island's forest, getting attacked by a gigantic mouse which they defeat and in the process, locating an abandoned temple. Natsu, commenting on the decayed floor, begins to slam it with his foot, causing it to crumble and hurtle them downwards into a cavern, also making Happy almost swallow a bone he had found. Lucy saves him from choking by pulling it out his throat. In this cavern, they discover the frozen demon Deliora along with three Mages: Sherry, Yuka Suzuki and Toby. [Gray explains to the others what Deliora is: an immortal demon that destroyed Ishban 10 years ago, and was sealed by his teacher, Ur, at the risk of her life.[49]
First battle belongs to Lyon
The group decides to wait for the moon to come out to see its involvement with the frozen demon. Lucy brings out her Celestial Spirit Lyra to pass the time. Happy wants her to sing a fish song, but Lucy tells Lyra to sing anything she likes. When night arrives, they discover that the moonlight is hitting the demon via the ritual Moon Drip which would melt the ice. As the team is hiding, Reitei Lyon, Sherry, Yuka and Toby arrive. Retei Lyon inquires about the Moon Drip ritual, and orders the other three to obliterate the village.[50]
Natsu takes Gray with him
Enraged by the order given by Reitei Lyon, Natsu jumps out from hiding and attacks alongside Gray. Natsu is frozen, and Gray tells Happy to escape with Lucy while he continues to fight Lyon.[51] After Happy and Lucy leave, Gray kicks Natsu down the hill to protect him from Lyon's Magic. Gray then argues with Lyon about their motives, saying that Ur died to seal Deliora and that he is trying to destroy Ur's legacy. Lyon then asks him how he can live with the knowledge that he killed Ur.[52] The two then battle. While battling, Lyon reveals that he will resurrect Deliora in order to surpass Ur, and that he would defeat the thing that killed Ur. Gray tells him it's impossible, but Lyon reminds him that that was what they said to him, but he challenged Deliora anyway, resulting in Ur's death. Overcome with grief, Gray loses the battle and falls into unconsciousness. When he wakes up, he sees Natsu who carries him back to the village. On their way to the village, Natsu comforts him for losing, saying that they are from Fairy Tail, a guild that doesn't know when to stop.[53]
Gray chooses to continue fighting despite Erza's threat
While returning to the village, Gray falls unconscious again.[54] When Sherry, Yuka and Toby arrive at the village, the villagers take Gray, and leave Natsu and Lucy to fight them.[55] The next morning, he awakes to find Erza, who had come to return them to the guild. He tries to tell her the severity of the situation, but she states that she didn't care. This causes Gray to insult Erza for making him sick. He then tells her that he will save the people of the island, whether Erza likes it or not. After his lecture, Gray storms off to find Natsu.[56] While running towards the ruins, Erza, Lucy and Happy catch up with him, Erza now agreeing to help. He explains Lyon's motives, and reveals to the group that Ur is still alive.[57]
Gray ready to sacrifice his life
They see that the ruins are tilted, thanks to Natsu. Suddenly, they are attacked by Lyon's helpers, survivors from past attacks made by Deliora. Erza tells Gray to go while she, Lucy and Happy would hold them off.[58] Gray arrives at the ruins, and tells Natsu to stand back. He then confronts Lyon and tries to use Iced Shell.[59] Gray begins to use Iced Shell, but Lyon thinks he's bluffing, so he stands his ground. However, Natsu, knowing what Iced Shell would do to Gray, punches Gray, causing him to stop. Then the two bicker: Gray says that he is willing to die to stop Lyon, but Natsu tells him to stop running away. Suddenly, the ruins begins to retilt to its original position, thanks to Zalty. Angered, Natsu runs after him, leaving Gray to deal with Lyon. Gray tries to persuade Lyon to stop fighting, by telling him that Ur is still alive as the ice. However, Lyon stabs him with his sword and says that he knew it all along.[60] Gray falls to the ground and looks at Lyon, with eyes full of hatred and anger.[61]
Gray beats Lyon
An angry Gray then attacks Lyon, saying that he gave up on trying to save him. Lyon is surprised by the amount of energy Gray has left, and counter attacks by using his Ice Make: Dragon. Lyon says that Deliora will be revived soon because of Zalty, but Gray tells him not to underestimate Natsu.[62] As the two continue their battle, the ruins start to shake. Lyon tells Gray of everything they did in order to achieve this. Gray thinks it’s pointless, and when Lyon chastises him for playing in some guild, he simply counters by saying he followed Ur’s advice of finding more powerful opponents in the west. He then tells him of his first day at Fairy Tail, when the master told him that Ur’s condition was eternal. He then proclaims his disgust at Lyon’s actions, who can only see his ambitions. He attacks, but Gray disarms him, and blocks his Snow Tiger using his Ice Make: Prison. The tiger cannot release itself; Gray explains that it’s because Lyon's creatures are out of balance, having been created with one hand. He then uses his Ice-Make: Ice Cannon to finish Lyon off. As he does, a cacophonic noise fills the air. Deliora is free and Gray’s only apparent choice to defeat it is Iced Shell.[63]
Punishment...?
Gray is face to face with Deliora. Natsu tells Gray that they should take it down, but Lyon interrupts, saying that he will defeat it to surpass Ur. Gray knocks him unconscious and starts to cast Iced Shell again. However, Natsu steps in front of Gray, stopping Gray from continuing the spell. As Deliora is about to attack Natsu, it starts to crumble into dust, much to everyone's surprise. They realize Deliora was long dead due to Ur's efforts, and Gray cries, thanking her for sealing his darkness.[64]
Back at the newly restored village (thanks to Zalty's Time Ark), Erza explains that the villagers' transformation into demons was false. She clarifies when she gets Natsu to help her "destroy the Moon", but what they really do is destroy an amnesia-causing barrier around the island that made the villagers think they were humans, when they were actually demons.[65][66]
Phantom Lord arc Edit
Nice... Oops... I mean, I'm sorry.
When returning to the guild, everyone but Lucy is displeased at Erza for not letting them accept the reward of 7 million jewels. Lucy's exclusive happiness is due to her receiving the gate key of one of the Zodiac Celestial Spirits, Sagittarius, a reward for lifting the curse of Galuna Island. Happy suggests that they should sell it, to which Lucy disagrees. Erza then reminds them of their punishment, believing it will surely be "that" although what "that" is, is not explained. That's soon put out of their minds when they discover that the guild has been attacked by their long time rivals, Phantom Lord.[67] The team then confronts Makarov about the damages, but after hitting them on the head, Makarov tells them to ignore it. Gray and the others surprise Lucy when they welcome her to their own apartment, with Erza telling them they have to stick together in case anyone gets attacked. However, this has already happened to the members of Team Shadow Gear (Levy McGarden, Jet and Droy) who were injured and pinned to a tree. When Makarov discovers this, he proclaims war against Phantom Lord.[68] Gray attacks Phantom Lord alongside most of Fairy Tail, but they are forced to retreat when Makarov loses his Magical power.[69]
Back at the guild, Gray and the others are surprised at the revelation of Lucy's history and comforts her while she is depressed.[70] Just then, they feel the guild quaking and rush outside to see what the commotion is: the Phantom Lord Guild is literally walking towards them on six legs.[71] It attacks with its Magical Convergent Cannon - Jupiter, but Erza narrowly stops the powerful bullet from obliterating the guild, rendering her incapable to fight. Jose Porla calls out, demanding that they gave Lucy to him, but receives an adamant refusal. In response, he tells them to quiver for 15 minutes as Jupiter reloads. Rather than wait to be destroyed, Gray and Elfman follow Natsu and Happy to destroy the walking guild.[72]
Juvia's vision of Gray
In retaliation to the sabotaged cannon, Jose orders the guild to enter its more powerful form: Super Mage Giant Phantom MK II. Gray and Elfman arrive just in time to save the motion-sick Natsu from Totomaru, one of the members of the Element 4. Happy flies outside to see what's going on, and returns to tell them that the guild has become a gigantic Mage that is beginning to cast a spell called Abyss Break, which would destroy half of Magnolia. They then decide to split up to find the moving guild's power source.[73]
Gray goes to the roof where he meets Juvia Lockser, one of the Element 4, who shows an immediate romantic attraction to him. She begins by declaring her loss to him and leaves. However, she changes her mind and attacks Gray with her Water Lock. He quickly freezes his way out, but not without opening his wound from Lyon in the process. Gray strips as usual, causing Juvia to think that their relationship is going too fast. Gray then uses his Ice Make: Lance on her, but is surprised that the attack went right through her. As she tries to convince Gray to stop and hand over Lucy, Gray announces that he'll never give up a comrade, even if it means death. Juvia takes this the wrong way and believes that Lucy is Gray's girlfriend.[74]
Gray saves Juvia
She then gets angry at Lucy, confusing Gray, and attacks him with boiling water. He tries to freeze her water and he succeeds, but in the process, he accidentally grabs Juvia's breast. He quickly lets go and apologizes to her, which surprises her. She then tries to confess her love for him, but he mentions how the rain is depressing before she can say it. This sends Juvia into a rage and she attacks him again, but Gray prevails and defeats her, stopping the rain around her in the process.[75]
Later, he tries to fight Phantom Lord leader Jose Porla alongside Erza, Elfman and Mirajane, but given their already weakened states, Elfman, Gray and Mirajane are easily defeated while Erza tries to fight alone.[76] Makarov then reappears, and Gray leaves with Erza, Elfman and Mirajane to let him fight Jose.[77]
After Phantom Lord's defeat, Gray helps rebuild the guild, almost noticing Juvia spying on him. He then becomes surprised when he gets a lunch box from Juvia, not knowing that it was her who gave it when he said that he was hungry. Fearing what it could be, he gives the lunch box to Natsu. When Loke gives them Lucy's keys, Gray, together with Natsu, Erza and Happy, goes to Lucy's house, only to find a note saying I will go home. The team then goes after Lucy.[78] Upon arriving at Heartfilia mansion, they find Lucy leaving her house and are surprised to hear that Lucy's family owns the place. The team then returns to the guild.[79]
A few days later when the guild was accepting job requests again, Team Natsu becomes official and decides to take their first mission as an official team.[80] While doing the request, they manage to destroy half a road.[81]
Loke arc Edit
Gray acting as the bad guy
Noticing Lucy worrying over her little amount of money, Mirajane suggests they do a simple acting job at a theater. Happy is given the task of carrying a dragon suit that Natsu is in, and they are given a week to rehearse. Their show is atrocious, makes little sense and they eventually destroy the theater, but despite all this, they are hailed as a success to the point that they're kept there for another week, doing three performances a day.[82]
They go out on another job and chance upon Loke after swiftly completing it. Seeing how they completed it so quickly, they decide to stay the night in Balsam Town. Natsu, Erza and Gray have a pillow fight.[83] Gray wins, but Natsu is being a sore loser about it and they both ask Lucy to back them up. An agitated Lucy silences Natsu and Gray's bickering, a feat only Erza could do.[84]
Later, when Lucy goes back to her apartment, Gray suddenly barges in, saying that Loke had left Fairy Tail. After hearing this, they all go to look for him.[85]
Tower of Heaven arc Edit
Gray and Juvia meet Simon
Shocked by the announcement that Loke is a Celestial Spirit, Lucy explains to Natsu, Gray and Happy that he is actually Leo the Lion, leader of the Zodiacs. Considering how he can no longer spend long periods of time in the human world anymore, Loke gives the four of them, as well as Erza, a ticket to a fancy resort.[86] Juvia follows them and secretly spies on Gray. She then approaches Gray in the casino.[87] While chatting, they are attacked by Simon, a tall and ruthless Mage who specializes in Darkness Magic, who asks them for Erza's whereabouts.[88] Gray is able to escape the ambush with Juvia's help, by being hidden inside her water body.[89]
With Erza and Happy kidnapped, the team plus Juvia decide to rescue them using Natsu's nose to track Erza.[90] As they get to the island on which the Tower of Heaven stands, they find Erza and she explains her past to them.[91] After Erza finishes telling her story, Simon and Sho arrive and join the team to stopJellal Fernandes.[92] When Jellal activates the Heaven's Game, Sho traps Erza in one of his cards in order to protect her and runs off, wanting to fight Jellal himself. Simon leaves the group to follow Sho, leaving Gray, Juvia and Lucy to find Natsu.[93] But Gray goes after Sho, and entrusts to Lucy and Juvia the task of finding Natsu.[94]
Gray attacked by Fukuro's Dragon Roar (from Natsu)
Later, he runs into the Death's Head Caucus Guild's Trinity Raven member, Fukuro, who had absorbed Natsu and begins using his flames on Simon and Happy; the two begin to battle.[95] Gray is able to withstand the heat of Natsu's stolen fire attacks and is able to freeze the flames, though Gray comments that Natsu had a stronger fire. Soon, Fukuro tries to absorb him, but Gray manages to freeze him enough to make him withdraw.[96] In a fit of rage, he then uses Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance to defeat Fukuro and free Natsu.[97] During the fight, Gray takes a fair amount of damage and Simon asks Happy to take him outside the tower to recover.[98] They flee the island on a boat along with Juvia, Lucy, Wally and Millianna, and watch as the weaponized satellite Etherion strikes the tower.[99]
Thinking that Erza and Natsu might have died, they are all highly relieved when the two of them arrive on the shore.[100] They recover in a hotel where Natsu sleeps for three straight days and wakes up after Gray belittles him - but this is only for a moment.[101] He eventually stays awake and they socialize with their previous enemies, before sending them off with a fireworks display.[102]
Fighting Festival arc Edit
When they return to the guild, they find its reconstruction complete and Cana Alberona shows them around. Makarov startles them with the introduction of two new members: Juvia and Gajeel, their previous enemies. After settling down, they sit down for a a song from Mirajane; this calm state doesn't last long, however, as the two Dragon Slayers soon cause a large brawl.[103] A reporter comes the next day to write about the guild, and asks Gray why he was always undressing to which he angrily replies that he is not a pervert.[104] The master also instructs Gray to accompany Juvia on a mission, since she is a new member.[105]
During the Miss Fairy Tail Contest a week later, Gray is seen watching the girls showcase their talents until a member of the Thunder God Tribe, Evergreen, appears and turns all the girls to stone. Soon, the other two members, Bickslow and Freed, make their entrance along with Laxus. Laxus proposes a game to find out who is the strongest in Fairy Tail, and Natsu replies with much enthusiasm.[106] Laxus holds the girls as hostages and threatens to smash them if they don't participate or break the rules. With a time limit of three hours to find and defeat them before the girls crumble to dust, the members of Fairy Tail rush out and the Battle of Fairy Tail begins. However, Makarov isn't able to go through the door because of Freed's runes. Gray then leaves to find Laxus, promising to beat him even if he was the master's grandson.[107]
Gray goes and fights Bickslow and quickly starts to overpower him. However, Bickslow starts to use his dirty tricks and traps Gray in one of Freed's enchantments, where no one is allowed to use Magic; this leaves Gray with no other choice but to try to attack with his fist. Since Bickslow's Magic allows him to attack from the outside, Gray is defeated.[108]
Gray's anger
Gray and Juvia on Fantasia Parade
After Laxus activates his Hall of Thunder, Gray manages to recover and find Warren Rocko. Using Warren's Magic, they are able to explain the situation to the other recovering Fairy Tail members. After initially bickering, the guild members are able to get along and destroy Laxus's Hall of Thunder spell and save the town. However, due to the Living Link Magic Laxus put on them, which causes the spell to counter attack with a lightning strike, all the guild members take more damage, but manage to live through it and are happy to survive.[109]
After Laxus is defeated, the guild still decides to participate in the Fantasia parade.[110] During the parade, Gray and Juvia perform on the same float as the king and queen of a frozen kingdom.[111] Gray, along with the rest of the guild, also signals to the excommunicated Laxus that they will always be looking out for him.[112]
A few days after the festival, Team Natsu decides to take a job: to capture the escape convict Velveno. Gray is seen surprised when Lucy suddenly leaves to head to Acalypha.[113] Gray, along with the rest of Team Natsu, follow Lucy to the LOVE & LUCKY guild and are surprised to learn that she defeated the Naked Mummy Guild by herself; they also inform her that because she ran off, they cancelled the mission.[114]
Oración Seis arc Edit
They aren't the "coolest"...
Gray assists Lucy in paying the rent by helping her at a restaurant, and when they return to the guild, Mirajane explains about Dark Guilds and their power over the Magical underworld.[115][116] Makarov then arrives and announces that an alliance of guilds are going to take down one of the strongest three dark guilds, Oración Seis.[117]
Makarov chooses Gray together with Natsu, Erza, Lucy and Happy to act as their delegates.[118] At the meeting place, Gray is surprised to see his former training partner Lyon, now a member of the Lamia Scale Guild and also one of its delegates, and is even more surprised when Cait Shelter Guild's delegate arrives, which happens to be a 12 year old girl named Wendy Marvell.[119][120] Her talking cat also appears and tells them that despite her appearance, Wendy is a powerful Mage.[121] After the matters are settled, the group discusses who the Oración Seis are and their plan to stop them; after they are done, they then head off to find them.[122]
Gray beats... Gray?!
When the alliance unexpectedly finds their target, Gray tries to aid his allies against the six Mages by fighting Racer and Angel, but he ultimately fails like the others.[123] When Brain spots Wendy and grabs her, Wendy tries to reach for Carla, but grabs Happy by mistake as the two are kidnapped. After being saved from death by Jura Nekis and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki, the group notices that Erza has been poisoned, causing the members to argue amongst themselves on how to handle the situation. Carla, however, is the one who calms everyone down, revealing that Wendy is the Sky Dragon Slayer and her healing Magic could fix the problem. But to rescue her, the group has to work together to achieve their goal. The others agree and rally together, before splitting up to find their kidnapped comrades.[124]
Gray goes with Natsu and Carla as they explore the area, Natsu taking the time to ask Carla about Wendy's Dragon Slayer Magic before the three are ambushed by members from the Naked Mummy Guild (one of the dark guilds under Oración Seis).[125] While Gray and Natsu are fighting the guild, Carla hangs back to watch.[126] After all guild members are defeated, they try to interrogate the members about the location of the Oracion Seis' hideout.[127] Later, they reach an cave entrance to the Oración Seis base, but come into confrontation with Racer. Gray holds him off while Natsu and Carla enter the cave to look for their friends.[128]
Gray on a motorbike from Dead Grand Prix
While Gray and Racer are battling, they notice Natsu, Happy, Wendy and Carla flying above them. Racer attacks them, causing them to fall and knock Wendy, Happy and Carla unconscious. Natsu carries the three and runs off. Racer tries to go after them, but Gray manages to stop him by using his Ice Make: Rampart, giving Natsu the time to run for it and angering Racer.[129]
Racer taunts Gray and activates his Magic, Death Grand Prix, causing multiple motorcycles to appear and charge towards Gray. Racer then hops on one of them and attacks Gray himself. Gray also hops on a motorcycle and the two start a race. While Racer is attacking Gray, Gray is having trouble attacking back since it is difficult to drive and use Magic at the same time. While racing, Gray spots Lyon and Sherry, and asks Lyon to hop on as well. With Gray driving and Lyon attacking, they are able to destroy Racer's motorcycle, thus ending the race. Racer counter attacks and knocks them off their motorcycle as well. Gray and Lyon attack Racer with their Ice Make Magic, but Racer easily dodges their attacks and attacks them. Lyon then whispers to Gray that he found Racer's weakness.[130]
Once again, Gray and Lyon team up
After whispering something in Gray's ear, Lyon freezes him much to Racer and Sherry's surprise. Lyon then calls Sherry to help him, saying that Lamia Scale will take the glory. Lyon and Sherry then attack Racer. However, Racer easily overpowers Sherry, causing Lyon to run away, but Racer easily catches up to him, attacks him and pins him to the ground, pulling out a knife and threatening Lyon's life. However, Lyon smiles and reveals his and Gray's plan. Gray unfreezes and shoots Racer with his ice arrow from a long distance, defeating him. As Gray makes his way to Lyon and Sherry, saying that they had won, Racer gets back up in an attempt to kill them, along with himself, with a bomb. However, Lyon tackles him down the cliff before the explosion activates in order to save Gray and Sherry.[131]
Gray beats Racer
After he and Sherry watch in horror, Gray decides to go look for Lyon, not believing that he is dead.[132] While Gray searches for Lyon, Sherry, having been completely turned to darkness by Nirvana's activation, attacks Gray from behind with her Wood Doll, seemingly knocking him unconscious.[133] Gray later regains consciousness and manages to stop Sherry who was attacking Natsu and Lucy, in order to avenge Lyon's death. He pins her to the ground when Lyon suddenly arrives, heavily wounded, but alive. Upon seeing Lyon, the darkness leaves Sherry and she is returned to the light.[134] Later, when Nirvana's second stage is activated by Brain, Gray, Natsu and Lucy are seen climbing one of its legs.[135] When Nirvana starts to move, Natsu's motion sickness kicks in, causing him to fall off, but Happy is able to save him. The team then decides to split up, with Happy and Natsu going in first while Gray and Lucy follow.[136]
Gray tries to stop Sherry
As Gray and Lucy enter Nirvana, they meet up with Jura and the Nirvana-affected Hoteye, who explains to them the power of Nirvana; however, as they leave to assist Natsu, Midnight appears and attacks them. Hoteye is able to save them and tells them to leave while he fights Midnight.[137] Gray, Lucy and Jura manage to find Natsu as he is being dragged off by Brain, who was planning to make Natsu one of his new members after seeing him defeat Cobra. Brain then reveals to them his plan of attacking Wendy and Carla's guild. Jura asks him for the reason and attacks Brain when he does not answer, causing Gray and Lucy to comment on Jura's strength.[138] Jura then continues to attack Brain and effortlessly defeats him. Carla and Wendy arrive just at that moment, and Wendy's Sky Dragon Slayer Magic cures Natsu and Happy's injuries and also casts Troia, which counters Natsu's motion sickness.[139][140]
Wendy rushes away, Carla with her, and the rest of them receive a message from an enemy who is now their ally, Hoteye, via telepathy. He tells them that the strongest of the Oración Seis, Midnight, is directly below them and that his defeat will stop Nirvana. They rush downwards, but at the last moment discover it's Brain's trap.[141] The group is saved by Jura's timely intervention who is heavily damaged by the ambush and rendered unconscious.[142] As they try to make sure he's okay, Brain's staff, Klodoa, laments about Brain's pathetic power, and that he should just defeat them himself before being captured by Natsu and slammed around. He frees himself from Natsu's grip and tells them of their plan: to destroy the Cait Shelter guild so Nirvana can never be resealed.[143][144]
Klodoa begins to bash them, but abruptly stops when he feels that the Six Demons have all been defeated and that this will herald the arrival of Brain's split personality, the vastly powerful and bellicose Zero. Sure enough, Zero arrives and easily defeats the team.[145] Nirvana then arrives at Cait Shelter and Zero orders it to attack. The powerful blast from Nirvana is, however, stopped with another strike from the combined efforts of the other alliance members who managed to get the Magical bomber ship Christina up and working again, which was shot down by Oración Seis beforehand. Hibiki Laytis, piloting the ship, telepathically details how to stop Nirvana: destroy the six lacrima crystals within Nirvana's legs that serves as its power source simultaneously. Zero interrupts, using telepathy himself, saying that their plan is futile as he stands in front of one crystal and will prevent anyone from trying to destroy it. The other alliance members desperately call on Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Happy to get up and they comply.[146]
Gray destroys one of the lacrimas
Using the map that Hibiki had downloaded into their heads, the group decides on which lacrima they will go to. After choosing, Happy reminds them that if they find Zero, they will have to take him down themselves and that they have no backup.[147] Gray manages to destroy one of the six Lacrima while Natsu manages to defeat Brain, stopping Nirvana once and for all.[148]
Everyone is then re-united when the New Magic Council's law enforcer Rahal shows up to arrest Hoteye for being part of the Oración Seis, and Jellal for his crimes in the past.[149] As Jellal willingly gives himself up to the Council just like Hoteye, an enraged Natsu starts attacking the Council and tries to bring Jellal back for Erza, and so he could join them as he was already "one of us" when he helped defeat Brain. Gray soon joins in and this convinces all the other Mages to help fight to get Jellal back, while Jellal and Erza can only look on painfully. As the Council fights back, ordering them to arrest every single Mage rebelling against them as well, Erza suddenly yells for everyone to stop. With that, he is taken away and everyone looks on sadly.[150]
Edolas arc Edit
Gray in Juvia's tears
Gray returns to the guild amid the celebration of Wendy and Carla's induction into Fairy Tail. He is especially greeted with enthusiasm by Juvia, who almost drowns him and a few other Fairy Tail members with her waterfall tears as she expresses her worry.[151] A few days later, the bells chime, signaling the return of Gildarts Clive, Fairy Tail's strongest Mage under Makarov.[152] When Gildarts arrives and explains that he had failed the job, Gray is seen surprised with the rest of the guild.[153] A few days later, Gray teaches Juvia how to eat some Caramade Franks while Alzack and Bisca watches them, wishing that their relationship was like theirs.[154] Gray, along with the rest of the guild and Magnolia town, is then sucked into Edolas by the Anima.[155]
Gray and Erza join the fight
Gray re-appears just when Erza Knightwalker is about to kill Happy. He and Earthland Erza beat up a few guards and declare Erza Knightwalker an enemy of Fairy Tail.[156] Although a few soldiers mistake him as Gray Surge, he does not care and demands to know where all of their crystallized companions were, while he attacks the soldiers of Edolas and Erza fights her Edolas counterpart. After hearing Wendy's scream, Gray frees Lucy of her handcuffs and proceeds to where the Dragon Slayers are held captive.[157] While running, Gray reveals that the Lacrima that was at the center of the Capital was trapping both him and Erza, and that Gajeel was the one that released them from the Lacrima state, stating that Dragon Slayer Magic has the ability to release their trapped companions. With that, he asks Happy to support Gajeel and release their trapped companions near Extalia. Arriving at the room, Gray, Lucy, and Carla fin both Natsu and Wendy unconscious on the ground. Gray immediately feeds Natsu and Wendy some X-Balls, a medicine that allows Earth Land Mages to use their Magic in Edolas. After Wendy wakes up and Natsu runs to stop the King's plan, Wendy explains to Gray, Lucy, and Carla that the Royal Army is trying to use the Giant Lacrima stationed near Extalia as a bomb to destroy the Kingdom of Extalia.[158]
Natsu runs back to the group after seeing Erza battling Erza Knightwalker. At first, Natsu is confused about the situation until Lucy and Wendy explain that Gajeel, Gray and Erza showed up. Now cleared up, the group splits into two: Gray traveling with Natsu and Lucy to find the king, while Wendy and Carla go to Extalia to warn the Exceeds.[159] Gray and Lucy suspect that the king is in some important place, but Lucy starts to wonder since the courtyard and prison were in such strange locations for a castle. Natsu and Gray then say that in short, the place has a strange layout. Lucy responds by saying she wouldn't be surprised if there was an amusement park, and to their surprise, her prediction really came true a few seconds later. However, Sugarboy and Hughes are inside the park, and they prepare to battle the three.[160] Hughes starts the battle by sending a viking ship straight into their path, but Gray blocks it with his Ice Shield. As Natsu then flies off to battle Hughes, Sugarboy traps both Gray and Lucy by making the ground soft, sinking them waist-deep. Gray then uses his strength to throw Lucy up, freeing her to help Natsu. He then creates two grappling hooks and escapes, before making a giant death scythe to attack Sugarboy. However, his Magic proves ineffective because Sugarboy's weapon, Rosa Espada, makes anything limp and soft, which includes ice.[161]
Gray creates a duplicate of the key
Later, when Sugarboy steals the key from Coco and slides away, Gray reappears while riding a motorcycle and begins chasing after Sugarboy.[162] Sugarboy tries to stop Gray using Rosa Espada on a section of the ground, but Gray merely dodges it and continues. As the chase continues, Gray asks how Sugarboy could keep sliding, to which the latter has no idea as well. He then asks the purpose of the key, to which Sugarboy explains that it's meant to activate the Dragon Chain Cannon. Gray then freezes the ground, which causes Sugarboy to slide out of control as Rosa Espada can't change the properties of the materials that it softens. With Sugarboy stopped and distracted by the motorcycle that he threw, Gray takes the opportunity to grab and freeze the key, hoping it would shatter, but to no avail. Realizing that it wouldn't shatter that easily, Gray decides to freeze it so that it can never be used. Sugarboy says that he can just soften the ice to get the key, but hesitates to do so when Gray explains that he may limp the key as well. The two begin to fight again, but when the key begins to crack, Sugarboy tries to stop their fighting. Gray doesn't stop, as it concerns their companion; Sugarboy then tells him that the cannon can return their friends back to normal if fired on the lacrima itself. As Sugarboy tries to buy some time, Gray shatters the key. Angered by what Gray did, Sugarboy attacks Gray with Rosa Espada, but is defeated with Gray's finishing technique, Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance. While Sugarboy yells at him for Gray's recklessness, the latter creates a duplicate of the key using Magic.[163] Natsu later catches up to him and learns that Gray can make a copy of the key. He then explains that they need to use the cannon and fire it on the Lacrima instead of the island it is floating on, so that the Dragon Slayer Magic will transfer to the lacrima and destroy it, thus releasing their friends. Suddenly, Erza arrives with a plan. She ties them up and brings them to the king.[164]
When the two Grays meet...
Upon entering the royal chamber, the king asks where the key is, and Erza tells him that Gray can make a copy of the key with his Magic. Erza pretends to threaten Natsu's life, giving Gray the chance to try to change the course of the cannon to save his friends, but fails to find where to change it. Erza then releases Natsu, who attacks the guards, while she grabs hold of the king and threatens to kill him if they don't change the target. The plan almost works, but Erza Knightwalker arrives and attacks Erza, causing her to let go of the king. With the king safe, the guards fire the cannon. Lucy then arrives with Coco on her Legion. Gray, Natsu and Erza climb on, and they try to stop the island from crashing into Extalia.[165] Gray, along with the Fairy Tail members and the Exceeds, manages to hold the lacrima island long enough for Mystogan to send it back to Earthland, saving everyone. Just when everyone thinks it is over, the Edolas Royal army arrives.[166] After the arrival of Dorma Anim, he, along with Erza, Lucy, Coco, Happy and Carla helps to save the Exceeds from being turned into lacrima.[167] While riding on her own Legion, Erza Knightwalker shows up and blasts Coco's Legion, sending it to the ground. Happy holds onto Lucy, and Carla holds onto Gray and Coco as they see Erza fight Erza.[168]
Lucy, Coco, Gray, Happy and Carla fall into a forest and Lucy gets upset for Happy dropping her, but he says she is heavy. Edolas troops show up. The troops spot Carla and Happy and aim to turn them into lacrima since they are the only two left. Gray attacks and protects them.[169] Lucy summons Loke while Carla and Happy dodge the beams of Magic, but Carla jumps in front of one to protect Happy. They start to lose when even more reinforcements arrive, but Edolas Fairy Tail comes to the rescue and helps them fight.[170] When Mystogan starts taking all the Magic away from Edolas, the troops lose their Magic weapons and retreat. Everyone panics, including Edolas Fairy Tail.[171] Finally, when all the Magic is gone, all the Earthland Fairy Tail members start being sucked into the Anima and return back to their home. Gray tells the Edolas Fairy Tail that they can still be a guild even without Magic.[172] They all say goodbye to Edolas Fairy Tail and Coco.[173]
After the Exceeds leave, Pantherlily arrives in his new smaller form, and everyone is shocked to see that he has captured Lisanna.[174] Everyone is confused about Lisanna's reappearance, thinking that she is the Edolas Lisanna. When Lisanna sees Natsu, she hugs him and Happy tightly, and tells Gray and Erza that its been a long time. Gray then asks if she is Earthland Lisanna, to which she answers yes, much to everyone's surprise.[175] After clarifying everything, Gray, along with the others, helps Lisanna get back to her mourning siblings and watches their tearful reunion.[176]
Tenrou Island arc Edit
Gray and Loke team up
While the guild is celebrating Lisanna's return, Gray and the others tell all the guild members about Edolas and their counterparts. During the process, he can't stop thinking about Cana's counterpart and how she dressed, to the point where he tried not to laugh.[177] Shortly after, he enters into another battle within the guild and ends up overexerting himself, and falls asleep with the rest of the guild.[178][179]
Gray vs Mest
A few days later, he, like several other guild members, started taking up numerous jobs to gain recognition for the annual Fairy Tail event.[180] The next day, the master appears alongside Erza, Mirajane and Gildarts to announce the start of the annual S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial. Gray is announced as one of eight candidates who will be participating.[181] After the ceremony, he is seen talking to his friends about the contest. At first, Juvia wants to quit the trial because she wanted to be Gray's partner; however, Gray tells them that he already has a partner, Loke, who shows up and tells Lucy that their contract is cancelled during the duration of the trial.[182]
Gray Secret Technique: Dried Plume Attack!
A week later, Gray, along with the other participants, head towards the island and complains about the scorching heat despite it being winter. He strips so much that he even removes his underwear, much to Juvia's enjoyment. After the master appears and tells the teams about the first trial, he becomes trapped in Freed's runes, along with several others. After the runes are removed, he freezes the ocean to make a path and slide to the island.[183] Gray and Loke manage to choose a battle path and face off against Mest and Wendy. Their fight ends somewhat quickly as they had managed to knock out Mest, and they go on ahead.[184]
Passed!
As they were walking through, they start talking about Mest. They both mention that although Mest came close to winning last year, they expected him to be stronger, but Loke says that they also had gotten stronger. They later wonder who his partner was last year, but neither of them seem to remember. When Gray and Loke meet up with the others, the master arrives. When the master announces how Cana and Lucy defeated Freed and Bickslow, and how Natsu managed to clear Gildart's barrier and passed, he expresses great surprise. He later asks master about how Juvia is doing, and is somewhat disappointed when the master says they met up with Erza and lost. They realize Elfman and Evergreen are the only ones left, and that they had to have met up against Mirajane and lost.
However, Elfman and Evergreen appear and the master says it's time to start the second trial. Shortly after, Natsu comes to terms with what Gildarts told him, and he challenges Gray and the other remaining contestants to see who will be the new S-class Mage. Gray simply replies that Natsu is the only one he doesn't want to lose to and that he accepts his challenge.[185]
Monsters are all around
When the second trial to find Mavis's grave begins, Gray and Loke get chased by vicious birds. With a scared expression on his face, Gray brags that the challenge isn't hard yet if it means becoming an S-class Mage. Loke just remarks on how Gray is acting tough.[186] Later, Gray is seen with Loke overhearing what Lucy says about the second exam being about intelligence, and thinks that she figured out where the grave is. Then they decide to follow Cana and Lucy, with Gray telling Loke that the second exam is also about greed.[187]
Gray and Loke vs members of Grimoire Heart
While following Lucy and Cana, Gray and Loke notice the warning signal that was launched by Erza that indicated that the exam was on hold, and that everyone must prepare for battle against an enemy. They first emerge from their hiding spot near Cana and Lucy, and are seen scolding Cana for wanting to continue the exam, and telling her that they should head back to the emergency meeting spot together.[188] However, bubbles arrive from the sky containing numerous Grimoire Heart Guild members, whom the four mostly dispatch with ease.[189] The remaining Grimoire Heart members are suddenly transported away by Caprico, who has come to fight them.[190] Right at the start of the fight, Caprico pummels them all with powerful kicks, prompting Gray to comment on his strength.[191]
The group then questions Grimoire Heart's goals, and as everyone prepares to fight again, Loke tells the others to leave so he can fight their opponent one on one. Gray says that all four of them are having a difficult time fighting their opponent, but Loke explains that their opponent uses Human Subordination Magic, which weakens the battle and Magic power of humans (but not Celestial Spirits). He then tells them that their opponent is the Celestial Spirit Capricorn, surprising Gray. Loke then yells for the others to go, and though Lucy is reluctant to leave his side, Gray and Cana persuade her to trust him and the three depart.[192]
As the three walk together, Cana suggests that they split up. Although he is reluctant to, he agrees and walks off alone.[193] While walking, Gray states Cana has a bad sense of humor, and he then realizes that he has never seen her drink since she entered Tenrou Island, making Gray wonder if she is just sober. Suddenly, he senses someone's presence. He hides behind a tree and notices Ultear walking past, speaking about Zeref. He at first mistakes her for Ur, but realizes that she is not, but a member of Grimoire Heart, and wonders who she is and why she resembles Ur.[194]
Gray in pain
As Gray continues spying on Ultear and Zeref from behind a tree, he wonders where they plan on heading and guesses that they are heading back to Grimoire Heart's master.[195] Suddenly, from the skies, Gray is hit by a jolt which, unbeknownst to him, is a sensory link Magic between him and Juvia used by Meredy, causing any pain taken by one of them to be delivered to the other one.[196] When Meredy slices Juvia's arm, Gray feels the pain too, and his yell almost attracts the attention of Ultear. Later, when Meredy adds herself to the link and takes damage, Gray again feels excruciating pain and keels over.[197]
Gray found by Ultear
When the Sensory Link cast on him disappears and he begins to wipe away the tears caused by them, Ultear appears behind him and asks if he was following her. She then goes on to explain that she is the daughter of Ur and that he shouldn't fear her, because they are comrades.[198]
A skeptical Gray questions what Ultear means by her statement that they are allies. She tells him she holds no grudge against him because she knows that he didn't kill Ur, and that in the end, it was just pride, which provokes Gray to remark that she's done evil things and that she shouldn't say that what she did was Ur's pride. Ultear then states that everything she did was the will of Ur, which suprises Gray.[199]
Gray stating he will help defeat Hades
Gray is later seen grasping his side in pain when Azuma uproots Tenrou Island's tree.[200] After Azuma's defeat Gray regains his Magical Power, and Ultear comments that everything seems back to normal. Gray was still in shock about what Ultear told him about "Ur's will". Ultear told him it's up to him whether he belives her or not and states that she is going to take Zeref and leave the island, telling him he must defeat Hades using Ur's Magic, Iced Shell, and that he is the answer to everyone's prayer.[201] Gray tells Ultear that he'll defeat Hades using Iced Shell claiming that it is not for her or Ur but for the guild.[202]
Gray saves Juvia from Ultear
After Ultear explains the story she told Gray that it was a lie and reveals her true motivations to Meredy, she finds Juvia and conjures a sword to kill her. Before she can make the killing blow, Gray blocks the attack with ice magic and brings Juvia away from Ultear. He says he figured that she was lying, telling Ultear he didn't believe a single word she said from the start.
Gray punches Ultear
He says he swore he would never consider using Iced Shell again recalling how Natsu didn't want him to die. He says his will is to live with his comrades. At this, Ultear says he isn't a simple-minded fool and is disappointed she can't use him to kill Hades. She says she didn't want to fight Ur's beloved student, but now, he's chosen to be killed in the cruelest way. Gray takes off his shirt, telling her to bring it on. Ultear then tells Gray that the one thing he doesn't know is that she's the head of the Seven Kin of Purgatory; as she is saying he will be no match for her, Gray attacks her quickly with an ice punch.[203]
Gray wakes Juvia and asks her to chase after Meredy who was ordered by Ultear to run to the "escape point" with Zeref. While Gray is distracted with seeing if the just-woken Juvia is fine and chasing after Meredy, Ultear kicks him in the face. She slams her orb into him and he counters with Ice-Make: Lance. However, using her Arc of Time, she makes the ice evaporate. She does the same thing with his next attack. She tells him that she learned her Magic specifically for killing Creation Mages like her mother. This statement enrages Gray. He has a short flashback of when he was a child and he saw Ur crying over a little girl's dress. As Ultear sends more orbs his way, he defends himself with his ice but Ultear manages to make it disappear, executing a direct hit. Gray yells that Ur had always been thinking about her and that all the things Ur can't convey to her now is so sad.
Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance, Iced Blood Version
Ultear easily overpowers him in hand-to-hand combat. When she asks him if he's resorting to physical attacks because his ice is rendered useless, he replies that he'll strike her down with ice, with Ur's Magic. She confidently responds that she cannot be defeated by his eyes. Gray uses his ice to slice the side of his own torso, surprising Ultear. He charges towards her as he declares that he'll seal her darkness. Ultear attempts to use Arc of Time on Gray's ice but it doesn't work. In reply to her confusion, he states that she can't move living things. His red ice is made of his own frozen blood. Gray makes a direct hit with Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance.[204]
Gray and Ultear falling off a cliff
Ultear is impressed by his tenacity despite the torn flesh and broken bones. However, she regains her balance, swears that she cannot lose until she reaches the great world of Magic and assumes the stance for Ice-Make, much to Gray's surprise. She creates a huge garden-like ice with roses and thorns, Ice-Make: Crown of Roses, which Gray notes is exactly like Ur's Creation Magic.[205]
After falling on the ground by Ultear's spell, he stands up and states that he never thought he'd see Ur's Creation Magic again. However, he should have expected it because they have the same blood. She shoots him with ice in anger but he retaliates by regaining his balance and pinning her down. As they roll on the ground, he asks her why she became that way and she yells for him to shut up. Their rolling takes them to a cliff and they fall.[206]
As they fall, Ultear thinks about her past to him and how she had hated her mother the day she saw her happy with her new kids, Lyon and Gray. When they fall into the water, Ultear casts her Ice-Make Magic once more. However, she becomes distracted with a voice in her head. Memories of her mother flood into her mind and so Gray uses the opportunity to cast Ice Make: War God Lance. A large pillar of ice emerges from the water with Ultear inside. He later floats to the surface of the water. With both of them rather immobile, Gray tells her a story Ur once told him: Ur had felt a light shining into her heart when Ultear was born and she dreamed a future full of hope for her. The ice holding Ultear shatters and Gray is the victor.[207]
Later, Gray brings Ultear to rest by a stone. He ties his shirt around his waist as he states that the battle is far from over. Ultear tells him that he can't win against Hades. Gray replies that he knows and that it would be impossible by himself.[208]
Later, while walking, Gray is about to collapse out of exhaustion, but is then caught by Erza, who asks him if he's okay. Gray states that it seems that he always needs to be saved by somebody. Erza replies that she's the same, too. Natsu's group arrives, overhears the words said, and with a big grin, Natsu tells them that he is the same too. The reunited Team Natsu, along with Wendy, Carla and Pantherlily, prepares for the final battle against Hades.[209]
Hades tells Team Natsu he will be waiting in his airship for their battle. Before going up, Natsu tells Carla, Pantherlily,and Happy to search the ship to prevent it from flying during the battle. Gray then uses Ice Make: Stairs and everyone walks into the ship. They all agree to start with their full power. Natsu uses his Magic as a coverup for Gray and Erza to attack. Gray uses Ice-Make: Cold Excalibur and hits Hades.[210] After Wendy casts her Magic on everyone, Gray uses Ice Make: Hammer to launch Natsu off it. Hades emerges unharmed from all the attacks and then yells Katsu. Wendy's body then disappears, only with her clothes left behind.[211]
Wendy appears in Horologium unharmed. Horologium tells everyone he was in Automatic Danger Response Mode. He detected a powerful spell was about the be used, and saved Wendy's body. Horologium sends Wendy back down with new clothes, and everyone prepares to attack again. Hades overwhelms everybody with his magic though. He shoots beams of Magic at Gray, right in his chest. Gray falls down defeated.[212] Hades eventually tells the kids his history as the secound master of Fairy Tail, and how Makarov has made bad changes to the guild. Natsu defends Makarov's changes, so Hades prepares to finish him off. Gray stares in shock as Hades winds up for the attack. Just before the spell is released, Laxus appears and head bashes Hades.[213]
Gray watches as Laxus battles Hades on mostly even terms until Laxus is hit by one of Hades explosion attacks. As Hades uses a big attack to finish Laxus, Natsu is given Laxus' lightning,[214] and Natsu seemingly defeats Hades.[215] However, Hades recovers from Natsu's attacks, unaffected. He then unleashes his Devil's Eye by removing his eye patch. Having exhausted his Magical Power, Natsu can do nothing but watch as Hades prepares to kill them.[216]
Everyone resolves to not give up despite not having any magic power, and they rush to attack Hades. Hades asks them what they can do with such a small amount of power, and then, he orders his demons to dance. Natsu trips while running to battle, but Lucy and Wendy grab him and throw him forward. Gray and Erza then kick Natsu further forward, allowing Natsu to close in on Hades. A big explosion then occurs on Hades ship.[217]
Hades realizes his heart was destroyed, which was done by Happy and Carla. With his heart destroyed and his power source gone, Hades is defeated by Natsu, Erza, and Gray.[218] The battle ends and the Exceed finally arrive while being chased by Grimore Heart members. Natsu and the others have already run out of Magic, but then the members in the camp come to the rescue. After the war Gray rests at Tenrou Island camp with his guild mates.
Everything is interrupted when Acnologia, the infamous Black Dragon, lands on Tenrou Island and starts attacking everyone. All of the Fairy Tail members start moving towards the ship as the dragon goes on its rampage.[219] Makarov then enters full Titan mode and grabs Acnologia, holding it off from attacking the guild members. Everyone wishes to help Makarov, but he shouts not to disobey his final order.[220] When Makarov is overwhelmed by Acnologia, all of them return back and go all out against the dragon. As Acnologia, having shrugged off all the combined attacks from its assailants, flies high up into the sky and readies to fire a breath attack against Tenrou Island, the guild members join their hands in a circle. While promising they will return home to Fairy Tail, they are struck by Acnologia's blast, which completely annihilates Tenrou Island, leaving nothing behind.[221]
X791 arcEdit
Gray along with the rest of the others are rescued by Bisca, Alzack, Jet, Droy, Max, Warren and the Trimens from Blue Pegasus. He watches as Mavis Vermilion reveals that she was the one who saved them and then disappears. He returns to the Fairy Tail Guild and, along with Natsu, Erza, and Gajeel, defeats the members of Twilight Ogre who were threating Romeo and is later welcomed back by Romeo.[222]
Gray's new outfit
At the party celebrating their return, Gray is surprised when Lyon, along with some of his guild mates, show up to greet them. Gray gets angry when Lyon claims he loves Juvia, as Juvia starts making a complex love chart afterwards.[223] Later on, Gray and Lyon meet alone. Lyon asks Gray if he knew people named Ultear and Meredy, and then tells him shocking information about them.[224]
Gray training
Gray with other members of Fairy Tail go to the beach to train for the Grand Magic Games. However, instead they start having fun and decide to just relax for the first day. Later on the day, Gray trains his Ice-Make by creating shapes made of ice. Later at night, he and other boys that had come with him peep on the girls while they take bath, only to get knives thrown at by Erza.[225]
Magic and AbilitiesEdit
Gray's Ice-Make
Ice-Make (氷の造形魔法 (アイスメイク) Kōri no Zōkei Mahō (Aisu Meiku)): A form of Element Maker Magic that allows the user to create ice at his will and to shape it into objects. In Gray's case, he uses Static Ice Make, meaning he can shape his ice into inanimate things or weapons. Ice-Make is known as an extremely versatile form of Magic, coming in useful both in battle, for offensive and defensive purposes, and outside of it. Specializing in it and having been practising it for years, Gray possess extreme mastery over it, being capable of creating countless amounts of objects for a multitude of uses. Also, according to him, Ice-Make allows to produce virtually everything, granting the user an unmatched creation capability.[226][227]
Freeze
Freeze: Ice-Make's most basic, yet one of its most useful capabilities is that of covering everything Gray comes into contact with in ice. This comes in useful for a variety of purposes, from damaging opponents to making things' composition weaker in order to more easily break them. What can be frozen depends on the user's own ability; Gray, with his great mastery of Ice-Make spells, has proven himself capable of freezing even burning things such as Juvia's boiling water and Fukuro's flames, as well as to freeze an object faster than Sugarboy's Rosa Espada could soften it.[228][229][230]
Ice-Make: Lance (ランスRansu): Gray extends his arms forward, creating long, curved ice lances that he shoots toward his enemy, impaling them. This makes for a powerful ranged attack.[231]
Ice-Make: Shield (シールドShīrudo): Gray creates a large shield made of ice in front of him, whose shape is vaguely reminiscent of a flower, which shields everything behind it.[232]
Ice-Make: Hammer (ハンマーHanmā): Gray creates a large ice hammer that floats above his opponent before dropping on them with great force. The first time Gray used this against Lyon, he was blocked.[233]
Ice-Make: Floor (フロアFuroa): Gray simply freezes the floor, which makes anyone in the area slip. Gray is also capable of freezing water with this spell, and slide on the resultant floor.[234]
Ice-Make: Bow: Gray creates a large bow out of ice, which can be used to shoot powerful ice arrows at his targets.
Ice-Make: Arrows: Gray creates one or more arrows out of ice, which are subsequently shot at high speed to enemies through the use of the previously made ice bow.[235] (Unnamed)
Ice-Make: Super Freeze Arrow
Ice-Make: Super Freeze Arrow: Using Ice-Make: Geyser and standing on top of the resulting ice formation, Gray can can rise up to a high point to shoot his arrow; after the shot, the speed of the arrow increases with gravity and air pressure, making ths attack much deadlier than usual.

Personality
Gray has a laid-back personality, but he will often get serious when the time calls for it.[9] He and Natsu have a friendly rivalry, and while they can often be seen fighting one another verbally or physically,[10] they are actually concerned about each other.[11][12] Gray was quite obstinate and reckless when he was younger. Over time, he has attained a more cautious attitude towards life, and deals with problems carefully. He is really concerned about his comrades and is truly loyal towards the guild, but tends to trash talk every now and then.Also, he has a disturbing habit of unconsciously removing his clothes at inappropriate moments.
History
Ur trains Gray
Gray was from a village up in the North, but the entire village was destroyed by the demon Deliora. Gray's parents were killed in the incident as well. Lyon, along with Ul, a powerful ice Mage who Jellal claimed could have been one of the Ten Wizard Saints, came investigating Deliora's destruction, and found Gray alive among the ruins.[18] Ur took Gray in as her second student and taught him and Lyon Ice Make. Gray accepted the training in order to eventually avenge his deceased parents by killing Deliora using her unorthodox methods.[19] Gray also inherited the unusual habit of stripping unconsciously from Ur.[16]
Erza and Gray - hard start
When Gray heard of Deliora's current location, he decided to challenge it, ignoring Ur and Lyon's warnings.[13] Gray collapsed from battling Deliora and woke up to see Ur battling it. Ur told him to take Lyon and run. Gray carried Lyon and saw that Ur had lost her leg and replaced it with ice.[20] Suddenly, Lyon woke up and tried to cast Iced Shell, but Ur stopped him by freezing him. She explained to Gray that Iced Shell was the only thing that would beat Deliora, and was surprised to know that Lyon had tried to do what she planned. She then used Iced Shell which caused her body to be destroyed. Before turning into ice, she made Gray promise to tell Lyon that she died and told him to step into the future, since she would seal his darkness. The next day, Lyon woke up and discovered Deliora covered with ice and Ur's sacrifice. He blamed Gray for killing Ur.[21]
Following Ur's advice to find strong wizards in the west, Gray arrived at Fairy Tail and asks the master for a way to reverse the effects of Iced Shell. Makarov, however, tells him that the only method that can possibly reverse it would kill Ur in the process.[22]
SynopsisEdit
Macao arc Edit
Gray knows how to make a first impression.
Gray first appears when Natsu and Happy bring Lucy Heartfilia to Fairy Tail. He is sitting in his shorts - he forgot to wear his clothes - and he immediately gets into a fight with Natsu.[23] He stops when Makarov orders them to do so and he gets scolded by him about his accidental nudity during his missions.[24]
Daybreak arc Edit
Gray fighting one of the Mages.
Gray finds out the reward for Natsu's latest mission and he quietly wishes him luck, saying things were going to be interesting.[25] Later, he was attacked by Natsu, when they were coming back from a job. He tells Natsu, Lucy and Happy that Erza Scarlet was coming back, which made them uneasy. They decide to head back, when they are ambushed by a band of Mages that want to eat Happy. Gray and Natsu defeat them and hear one of them mention "Lullaby".[26]
Lullaby arc Edit
Natsu and Gray bicker behind Erza's back
Gray is about to get into a fight with Natsu yet again, but hearing about Erza's return from Loke makes him stop.[27] Later, he is forced to go on a mission with Natsu, Erza and Lucy, much to his chagrin, but he goes anyway.[28] On their way to their mission, he shows Lucy his abilities as an Ice Mage. Lucy then mentions that Gray's ice abilities and Natsu's fire abilities are probably what causes their quarrels.[29]
They forgot about Natsu.
When they get off the train, they continue to discuss the mission, only to realize that they forgot to bring the motion-sick Natsu with them.[30] After they are reunited with Natsu, they learn that Natsu had a confrontation in the train with a member of Eisenwald named Kageyama. Natsu states that he had a strange kind of flute. Lucy then pipes in at this moment, saying that she had only heard about it in books, but that it might be "Lullaby", the flute of death.[31]
Rayule appears
Eisenwald takes over the Oshibana train station and the five of them force their way in, quickly encountering Eisenwald and fighting him.[32] Erigor, however, has other plans and flees the scene with Gray and Natsu in hot pursuit.[33] However, the two decide to split up and Gray runs into one of Eisenwald's elite members, Rayule.[34]
Gray vs. Rayule
While the two are fighting, Gray learns about the plan to kill all the guild masters at their regular meeting. Gray promptly freezes Rayule's face, ending their fight.[35] He then informs Erza of this and they go to find Kageyama, so he can dispel Erigor's wind wall.[36] Kageyama, however, is stabbed in the back by Karacka, a fellow Eisenwald guild member, before he can help them.[37]
Gray loves being a man
After Lucy summons her new Celestial Spirit, Virgo, Gray compliments Virgo for being cute and as they escape, Gray is the only one to notice that Virgo and Lucy's skirts are flying up due to the wind. They then realize that Natsu and Happy are missing again.[38] As they chase Natsu and Happy with Kageyama, Gray gives him a speech about life and death, but the atmosphere is ruined when Lucy yells at Gray to kill Kageyama after he harasses her.[39]
Gray before Lullaby's true form.
They catch up to Natsu and Happy, only to see that Natsu has beaten Erigor. Gray, as usual, insults Natsu for having difficulties in the battle and insults him for his choice of clothes. As Erza congratulates the group for a job well done, Kageyama grabs the Lullaby flute and uses the Magic Four Wheel Drive to get to Clover Town, much to everyone's surprise.[40] Chasing after him, they arrive and see Kageyama with Makarov, and are about to go to him, but are stopped by guild master Bob and Goldmine. They then see that Makarov has persuaded Kageyama not to use the Lullaby's Magic. Suddenly, the flute itself starts to talk and transforms into a giant demon.[41]
Gray, Erza and Natsu vs Lullaby
Gray teams up with Natsu and Erza to defeat the demon. When the demon attacks Natsu, it misses and heads for the guild masters instead. To protect the guild masters, he uses Ice Make: Shield, and is complimented on how fast he can create the shield. He then proceeds to attack the demon with his Ice Make: Lance. With the three's combined efforts, Lullaby is defeated. However, they manage to accidentally destroy the Guild Masters' Meeting Building in the process, forcing the team and Makarov to hastily escape.[42]
Gray the intruder.
When they return, Gray arrives in Lucy's apartment, much to her dismay, to remind her that Natsu and Erza are about to begin their fight. As he watches, he is shocked to hear that Erza is to be arrested for property damage by the Magic Council.[43]
Galuna Island arc Edit
Gray found them...
Gray waits for Erza's verdict like everyone else, but he learns that it was all a hoax and he voices his displeasure about that. Gray then falls prey, like everyone else, to Mystogan's Sleep Magic as he walks in.[44] After Mystogan leaves and lifts the Sleep Magic, Gray explains to Lucy about Mystogan's actions.[45] When Natsu, Happy and Lucy take the S-Class request to lift the curse of Galuna Island, Makarov orders Laxus to go after them, saying that he is the only one who can force them to come back. Gray stands up and volunteers to get them back instead.[46]
...but they are unstoppable
Gray catches up with the three in Hargeon, who are looking for a boat to take them to the island. Gray tries to persuade them to go back, but when Natsu resists, Gray tries to use Magic. Bobo, the boat owner, then spots them using Magic and tells them that he will take them to the island. Natsu sees this as an opening and knocks Gray unconscious, ties him up and brings him along. On their way to the island, Bobo shows them the island's demonic curse.[47] Bobo then vanishes, and although Happy checks to see if he had fallen into the water, he is nowhere to be found. All of this is rendered irrelevant when a large wave hits their boat and washes them ashore. Gray, now agreeing to help, goes with Natsu, Lucy and Happy towards the the island's village and meets its mayor, Moka, who asks them to destroy the moon.[48]
Gray's Fairy Tail mark
Deeming such a task impossible, they instead investigate the island's forest, getting attacked by a gigantic mouse which they defeat and in the process, locating an abandoned temple. Natsu, commenting on the decayed floor, begins to slam it with his foot, causing it to crumble and hurtle them downwards into a cavern, also making Happy almost swallow a bone he had found. Lucy saves him from choking by pulling it out his throat. In this cavern, they discover the frozen demon Deliora along with three Mages: Sherry, Yuka Suzuki and Toby. [Gray explains to the others what Deliora is: an immortal demon that destroyed Ishban 10 years ago, and was sealed by his teacher, Ur, at the risk of her life.[49]
First battle belongs to Lyon
The group decides to wait for the moon to come out to see its involvement with the frozen demon. Lucy brings out her Celestial Spirit Lyra to pass the time. Happy wants her to sing a fish song, but Lucy tells Lyra to sing anything she likes. When night arrives, they discover that the moonlight is hitting the demon via the ritual Moon Drip which would melt the ice. As the team is hiding, Reitei Lyon, Sherry, Yuka and Toby arrive. Retei Lyon inquires about the Moon Drip ritual, and orders the other three to obliterate the village.[50]
Natsu takes Gray with him
Enraged by the order given by Reitei Lyon, Natsu jumps out from hiding and attacks alongside Gray. Natsu is frozen, and Gray tells Happy to escape with Lucy while he continues to fight Lyon.[51] After Happy and Lucy leave, Gray kicks Natsu down the hill to protect him from Lyon's Magic. Gray then argues with Lyon about their motives, saying that Ur died to seal Deliora and that he is trying to destroy Ur's legacy. Lyon then asks him how he can live with the knowledge that he killed Ur.[52] The two then battle. While battling, Lyon reveals that he will resurrect Deliora in order to surpass Ur, and that he would defeat the thing that killed Ur. Gray tells him it's impossible, but Lyon reminds him that that was what they said to him, but he challenged Deliora anyway, resulting in Ur's death. Overcome with grief, Gray loses the battle and falls into unconsciousness. When he wakes up, he sees Natsu who carries him back to the village. On their way to the village, Natsu comforts him for losing, saying that they are from Fairy Tail, a guild that doesn't know when to stop.[53]
Gray chooses to continue fighting despite Erza's threat
While returning to the village, Gray falls unconscious again.[54] When Sherry, Yuka and Toby arrive at the village, the villagers take Gray, and leave Natsu and Lucy to fight them.[55] The next morning, he awakes to find Erza, who had come to return them to the guild. He tries to tell her the severity of the situation, but she states that she didn't care. This causes Gray to insult Erza for making him sick. He then tells her that he will save the people of the island, whether Erza likes it or not. After his lecture, Gray storms off to find Natsu.[56] While running towards the ruins, Erza, Lucy and Happy catch up with him, Erza now agreeing to help. He explains Lyon's motives, and reveals to the group that Ur is still alive.[57]
Gray ready to sacrifice his life
They see that the ruins are tilted, thanks to Natsu. Suddenly, they are attacked by Lyon's helpers, survivors from past attacks made by Deliora. Erza tells Gray to go while she, Lucy and Happy would hold them off.[58] Gray arrives at the ruins, and tells Natsu to stand back. He then confronts Lyon and tries to use Iced Shell.[59] Gray begins to use Iced Shell, but Lyon thinks he's bluffing, so he stands his ground. However, Natsu, knowing what Iced Shell would do to Gray, punches Gray, causing him to stop. Then the two bicker: Gray says that he is willing to die to stop Lyon, but Natsu tells him to stop running away. Suddenly, the ruins begins to retilt to its original position, thanks to Zalty. Angered, Natsu runs after him, leaving Gray to deal with Lyon. Gray tries to persuade Lyon to stop fighting, by telling him that Ur is still alive as the ice. However, Lyon stabs him with his sword and says that he knew it all along.[60] Gray falls to the ground and looks at Lyon, with eyes full of hatred and anger.[61]
Gray beats Lyon
An angry Gray then attacks Lyon, saying that he gave up on trying to save him. Lyon is surprised by the amount of energy Gray has left, and counter attacks by using his Ice Make: Dragon. Lyon says that Deliora will be revived soon because of Zalty, but Gray tells him not to underestimate Natsu.[62] As the two continue their battle, the ruins start to shake. Lyon tells Gray of everything they did in order to achieve this. Gray thinks it’s pointless, and when Lyon chastises him for playing in some guild, he simply counters by saying he followed Ur’s advice of finding more powerful opponents in the west. He then tells him of his first day at Fairy Tail, when the master told him that Ur’s condition was eternal. He then proclaims his disgust at Lyon’s actions, who can only see his ambitions. He attacks, but Gray disarms him, and blocks his Snow Tiger using his Ice Make: Prison. The tiger cannot release itself; Gray explains that it’s because Lyon's creatures are out of balance, having been created with one hand. He then uses his Ice-Make: Ice Cannon to finish Lyon off. As he does, a cacophonic noise fills the air. Deliora is free and Gray’s only apparent choice to defeat it is Iced Shell.[63]
Punishment...?
Gray is face to face with Deliora. Natsu tells Gray that they should take it down, but Lyon interrupts, saying that he will defeat it to surpass Ur. Gray knocks him unconscious and starts to cast Iced Shell again. However, Natsu steps in front of Gray, stopping Gray from continuing the spell. As Deliora is about to attack Natsu, it starts to crumble into dust, much to everyone's surprise. They realize Deliora was long dead due to Ur's efforts, and Gray cries, thanking her for sealing his darkness.[64]
Back at the newly restored village (thanks to Zalty's Time Ark), Erza explains that the villagers' transformation into demons was false. She clarifies when she gets Natsu to help her "destroy the Moon", but what they really do is destroy an amnesia-causing barrier around the island that made the villagers think they were humans, when they were actually demons.[65][66]
Phantom Lord arc Edit
Nice... Oops... I mean, I'm sorry.
When returning to the guild, everyone but Lucy is displeased at Erza for not letting them accept the reward of 7 million jewels. Lucy's exclusive happiness is due to her receiving the gate key of one of the Zodiac Celestial Spirits, Sagittarius, a reward for lifting the curse of Galuna Island. Happy suggests that they should sell it, to which Lucy disagrees. Erza then reminds them of their punishment, believing it will surely be "that" although what "that" is, is not explained. That's soon put out of their minds when they discover that the guild has been attacked by their long time rivals, Phantom Lord.[67] The team then confronts Makarov about the damages, but after hitting them on the head, Makarov tells them to ignore it. Gray and the others surprise Lucy when they welcome her to their own apartment, with Erza telling them they have to stick together in case anyone gets attacked. However, this has already happened to the members of Team Shadow Gear (Levy McGarden, Jet and Droy) who were injured and pinned to a tree. When Makarov discovers this, he proclaims war against Phantom Lord.[68] Gray attacks Phantom Lord alongside most of Fairy Tail, but they are forced to retreat when Makarov loses his Magical power.[69]
Back at the guild, Gray and the others are surprised at the revelation of Lucy's history and comforts her while she is depressed.[70] Just then, they feel the guild quaking and rush outside to see what the commotion is: the Phantom Lord Guild is literally walking towards them on six legs.[71] It attacks with its Magical Convergent Cannon - Jupiter, but Erza narrowly stops the powerful bullet from obliterating the guild, rendering her incapable to fight. Jose Porla calls out, demanding that they gave Lucy to him, but receives an adamant refusal. In response, he tells them to quiver for 15 minutes as Jupiter reloads. Rather than wait to be destroyed, Gray and Elfman follow Natsu and Happy to destroy the walking guild.[72]
Juvia's vision of Gray
In retaliation to the sabotaged cannon, Jose orders the guild to enter its more powerful form: Super Mage Giant Phantom MK II. Gray and Elfman arrive just in time to save the motion-sick Natsu from Totomaru, one of the members of the Element 4. Happy flies outside to see what's going on, and returns to tell them that the guild has become a gigantic Mage that is beginning to cast a spell called Abyss Break, which would destroy half of Magnolia. They then decide to split up to find the moving guild's power source.[73]
Gray goes to the roof where he meets Juvia Lockser, one of the Element 4, who shows an immediate romantic attraction to him. She begins by declaring her loss to him and leaves. However, she changes her mind and attacks Gray with her Water Lock. He quickly freezes his way out, but not without opening his wound from Lyon in the process. Gray strips as usual, causing Juvia to think that their relationship is going too fast. Gray then uses his Ice Make: Lance on her, but is surprised that the attack went right through her. As she tries to convince Gray to stop and hand over Lucy, Gray announces that he'll never give up a comrade, even if it means death. Juvia takes this the wrong way and believes that Lucy is Gray's girlfriend.[74]
Gray saves Juvia
She then gets angry at Lucy, confusing Gray, and attacks him with boiling water. He tries to freeze her water and he succeeds, but in the process, he accidentally grabs Juvia's breast. He quickly lets go and apologizes to her, which surprises her. She then tries to confess her love for him, but he mentions how the rain is depressing before she can say it. This sends Juvia into a rage and she attacks him again, but Gray prevails and defeats her, stopping the rain around her in the process.[75]
Later, he tries to fight Phantom Lord leader Jose Porla alongside Erza, Elfman and Mirajane, but given their already weakened states, Elfman, Gray and Mirajane are easily defeated while Erza tries to fight alone.[76] Makarov then reappears, and Gray leaves with Erza, Elfman and Mirajane to let him fight Jose.[77]
After Phantom Lord's defeat, Gray helps rebuild the guild, almost noticing Juvia spying on him. He then becomes surprised when he gets a lunch box from Juvia, not knowing that it was her who gave it when he said that he was hungry. Fearing what it could be, he gives the lunch box to Natsu. When Loke gives them Lucy's keys, Gray, together with Natsu, Erza and Happy, goes to Lucy's house, only to find a note saying I will go home. The team then goes after Lucy.[78] Upon arriving at Heartfilia mansion, they find Lucy leaving her house and are surprised to hear that Lucy's family owns the place. The team then returns to the guild.[79]
A few days later when the guild was accepting job requests again, Team Natsu becomes official and decides to take their first mission as an official team.[80] While doing the request, they manage to destroy half a road.[81]
Loke arc Edit
Gray acting as the bad guy
Noticing Lucy worrying over her little amount of money, Mirajane suggests they do a simple acting job at a theater. Happy is given the task of carrying a dragon suit that Natsu is in, and they are given a week to rehearse. Their show is atrocious, makes little sense and they eventually destroy the theater, but despite all this, they are hailed as a success to the point that they're kept there for another week, doing three performances a day.[82]
They go out on another job and chance upon Loke after swiftly completing it. Seeing how they completed it so quickly, they decide to stay the night in Balsam Town. Natsu, Erza and Gray have a pillow fight.[83] Gray wins, but Natsu is being a sore loser about it and they both ask Lucy to back them up. An agitated Lucy silences Natsu and Gray's bickering, a feat only Erza could do.[84]
Later, when Lucy goes back to her apartment, Gray suddenly barges in, saying that Loke had left Fairy Tail. After hearing this, they all go to look for him.[85]
Tower of Heaven arc Edit
Gray and Juvia meet Simon
Shocked by the announcement that Loke is a Celestial Spirit, Lucy explains to Natsu, Gray and Happy that he is actually Leo the Lion, leader of the Zodiacs. Considering how he can no longer spend long periods of time in the human world anymore, Loke gives the four of them, as well as Erza, a ticket to a fancy resort.[86] Juvia follows them and secretly spies on Gray. She then approaches Gray in the casino.[87] While chatting, they are attacked by Simon, a tall and ruthless Mage who specializes in Darkness Magic, who asks them for Erza's whereabouts.[88] Gray is able to escape the ambush with Juvia's help, by being hidden inside her water body.[89]
With Erza and Happy kidnapped, the team plus Juvia decide to rescue them using Natsu's nose to track Erza.[90] As they get to the island on which the Tower of Heaven stands, they find Erza and she explains her past to them.[91] After Erza finishes telling her story, Simon and Sho arrive and join the team to stopJellal Fernandes.[92] When Jellal activates the Heaven's Game, Sho traps Erza in one of his cards in order to protect her and runs off, wanting to fight Jellal himself. Simon leaves the group to follow Sho, leaving Gray, Juvia and Lucy to find Natsu.[93] But Gray goes after Sho, and entrusts to Lucy and Juvia the task of finding Natsu.[94]
Gray attacked by Fukuro's Dragon Roar (from Natsu)
Later, he runs into the Death's Head Caucus Guild's Trinity Raven member, Fukuro, who had absorbed Natsu and begins using his flames on Simon and Happy; the two begin to battle.[95] Gray is able to withstand the heat of Natsu's stolen fire attacks and is able to freeze the flames, though Gray comments that Natsu had a stronger fire. Soon, Fukuro tries to absorb him, but Gray manages to freeze him enough to make him withdraw.[96] In a fit of rage, he then uses Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance to defeat Fukuro and free Natsu.[97] During the fight, Gray takes a fair amount of damage and Simon asks Happy to take him outside the tower to recover.[98] They flee the island on a boat along with Juvia, Lucy, Wally and Millianna, and watch as the weaponized satellite Etherion strikes the tower.[99]
Thinking that Erza and Natsu might have died, they are all highly relieved when the two of them arrive on the shore.[100] They recover in a hotel where Natsu sleeps for three straight days and wakes up after Gray belittles him - but this is only for a moment.[101] He eventually stays awake and they socialize with their previous enemies, before sending them off with a fireworks display.[102]
Fighting Festival arc Edit
When they return to the guild, they find its reconstruction complete and Cana Alberona shows them around. Makarov startles them with the introduction of two new members: Juvia and Gajeel, their previous enemies. After settling down, they sit down for a a song from Mirajane; this calm state doesn't last long, however, as the two Dragon Slayers soon cause a large brawl.[103] A reporter comes the next day to write about the guild, and asks Gray why he was always undressing to which he angrily replies that he is not a pervert.[104] The master also instructs Gray to accompany Juvia on a mission, since she is a new member.[105]
During the Miss Fairy Tail Contest a week later, Gray is seen watching the girls showcase their talents until a member of the Thunder God Tribe, Evergreen, appears and turns all the girls to stone. Soon, the other two members, Bickslow and Freed, make their entrance along with Laxus. Laxus proposes a game to find out who is the strongest in Fairy Tail, and Natsu replies with much enthusiasm.[106] Laxus holds the girls as hostages and threatens to smash them if they don't participate or break the rules. With a time limit of three hours to find and defeat them before the girls crumble to dust, the members of Fairy Tail rush out and the Battle of Fairy Tail begins. However, Makarov isn't able to go through the door because of Freed's runes. Gray then leaves to find Laxus, promising to beat him even if he was the master's grandson.[107]
Gray goes and fights Bickslow and quickly starts to overpower him. However, Bickslow starts to use his dirty tricks and traps Gray in one of Freed's enchantments, where no one is allowed to use Magic; this leaves Gray with no other choice but to try to attack with his fist. Since Bickslow's Magic allows him to attack from the outside, Gray is defeated.[108]
Gray's anger
Gray and Juvia on Fantasia Parade
After Laxus activates his Hall of Thunder, Gray manages to recover and find Warren Rocko. Using Warren's Magic, they are able to explain the situation to the other recovering Fairy Tail members. After initially bickering, the guild members are able to get along and destroy Laxus's Hall of Thunder spell and save the town. However, due to the Living Link Magic Laxus put on them, which causes the spell to counter attack with a lightning strike, all the guild members take more damage, but manage to live through it and are happy to survive.[109]
After Laxus is defeated, the guild still decides to participate in the Fantasia parade.[110] During the parade, Gray and Juvia perform on the same float as the king and queen of a frozen kingdom.[111] Gray, along with the rest of the guild, also signals to the excommunicated Laxus that they will always be looking out for him.[112]
A few days after the festival, Team Natsu decides to take a job: to capture the escape convict Velveno. Gray is seen surprised when Lucy suddenly leaves to head to Acalypha.[113] Gray, along with the rest of Team Natsu, follow Lucy to the LOVE & LUCKY guild and are surprised to learn that she defeated the Naked Mummy Guild by herself; they also inform her that because she ran off, they cancelled the mission.[114]
Oración Seis arc Edit
They aren't the "coolest"...
Gray assists Lucy in paying the rent by helping her at a restaurant, and when they return to the guild, Mirajane explains about Dark Guilds and their power over the Magical underworld.[115][116] Makarov then arrives and announces that an alliance of guilds are going to take down one of the strongest three dark guilds, Oración Seis.[117]
Makarov chooses Gray together with Natsu, Erza, Lucy and Happy to act as their delegates.[118] At the meeting place, Gray is surprised to see his former training partner Lyon, now a member of the Lamia Scale Guild and also one of its delegates, and is even more surprised when Cait Shelter Guild's delegate arrives, which happens to be a 12 year old girl named Wendy Marvell.[119][120] Her talking cat also appears and tells them that despite her appearance, Wendy is a powerful Mage.[121] After the matters are settled, the group discusses who the Oración Seis are and their plan to stop them; after they are done, they then head off to find them.[122]
Gray beats... Gray?!
When the alliance unexpectedly finds their target, Gray tries to aid his allies against the six Mages by fighting Racer and Angel, but he ultimately fails like the others.[123] When Brain spots Wendy and grabs her, Wendy tries to reach for Carla, but grabs Happy by mistake as the two are kidnapped. After being saved from death by Jura Nekis and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki, the group notices that Erza has been poisoned, causing the members to argue amongst themselves on how to handle the situation. Carla, however, is the one who calms everyone down, revealing that Wendy is the Sky Dragon Slayer and her healing Magic could fix the problem. But to rescue her, the group has to work together to achieve their goal. The others agree and rally together, before splitting up to find their kidnapped comrades.[124]
Gray goes with Natsu and Carla as they explore the area, Natsu taking the time to ask Carla about Wendy's Dragon Slayer Magic before the three are ambushed by members from the Naked Mummy Guild (one of the dark guilds under Oración Seis).[125] While Gray and Natsu are fighting the guild, Carla hangs back to watch.[126] After all guild members are defeated, they try to interrogate the members about the location of the Oracion Seis' hideout.[127] Later, they reach an cave entrance to the Oración Seis base, but come into confrontation with Racer. Gray holds him off while Natsu and Carla enter the cave to look for their friends.[128]
Gray on a motorbike from Dead Grand Prix
While Gray and Racer are battling, they notice Natsu, Happy, Wendy and Carla flying above them. Racer attacks them, causing them to fall and knock Wendy, Happy and Carla unconscious. Natsu carries the three and runs off. Racer tries to go after them, but Gray manages to stop him by using his Ice Make: Rampart, giving Natsu the time to run for it and angering Racer.[129]
Racer taunts Gray and activates his Magic, Death Grand Prix, causing multiple motorcycles to appear and charge towards Gray. Racer then hops on one of them and attacks Gray himself. Gray also hops on a motorcycle and the two start a race. While Racer is attacking Gray, Gray is having trouble attacking back since it is difficult to drive and use Magic at the same time. While racing, Gray spots Lyon and Sherry, and asks Lyon to hop on as well. With Gray driving and Lyon attacking, they are able to destroy Racer's motorcycle, thus ending the race. Racer counter attacks and knocks them off their motorcycle as well. Gray and Lyon attack Racer with their Ice Make Magic, but Racer easily dodges their attacks and attacks them. Lyon then whispers to Gray that he found Racer's weakness.[130]
Once again, Gray and Lyon team up
After whispering something in Gray's ear, Lyon freezes him much to Racer and Sherry's surprise. Lyon then calls Sherry to help him, saying that Lamia Scale will take the glory. Lyon and Sherry then attack Racer. However, Racer easily overpowers Sherry, causing Lyon to run away, but Racer easily catches up to him, attacks him and pins him to the ground, pulling out a knife and threatening Lyon's life. However, Lyon smiles and reveals his and Gray's plan. Gray unfreezes and shoots Racer with his ice arrow from a long distance, defeating him. As Gray makes his way to Lyon and Sherry, saying that they had won, Racer gets back up in an attempt to kill them, along with himself, with a bomb. However, Lyon tackles him down the cliff before the explosion activates in order to save Gray and Sherry.[131]
Gray beats Racer
After he and Sherry watch in horror, Gray decides to go look for Lyon, not believing that he is dead.[132] While Gray searches for Lyon, Sherry, having been completely turned to darkness by Nirvana's activation, attacks Gray from behind with her Wood Doll, seemingly knocking him unconscious.[133] Gray later regains consciousness and manages to stop Sherry who was attacking Natsu and Lucy, in order to avenge Lyon's death. He pins her to the ground when Lyon suddenly arrives, heavily wounded, but alive. Upon seeing Lyon, the darkness leaves Sherry and she is returned to the light.[134] Later, when Nirvana's second stage is activated by Brain, Gray, Natsu and Lucy are seen climbing one of its legs.[135] When Nirvana starts to move, Natsu's motion sickness kicks in, causing him to fall off, but Happy is able to save him. The team then decides to split up, with Happy and Natsu going in first while Gray and Lucy follow.[136]
Gray tries to stop Sherry
As Gray and Lucy enter Nirvana, they meet up with Jura and the Nirvana-affected Hoteye, who explains to them the power of Nirvana; however, as they leave to assist Natsu, Midnight appears and attacks them. Hoteye is able to save them and tells them to leave while he fights Midnight.[137] Gray, Lucy and Jura manage to find Natsu as he is being dragged off by Brain, who was planning to make Natsu one of his new members after seeing him defeat Cobra. Brain then reveals to them his plan of attacking Wendy and Carla's guild. Jura asks him for the reason and attacks Brain when he does not answer, causing Gray and Lucy to comment on Jura's strength.[138] Jura then continues to attack Brain and effortlessly defeats him. Carla and Wendy arrive just at that moment, and Wendy's Sky Dragon Slayer Magic cures Natsu and Happy's injuries and also casts Troia, which counters Natsu's motion sickness.[139][140]
Wendy rushes away, Carla with her, and the rest of them receive a message from an enemy who is now their ally, Hoteye, via telepathy. He tells them that the strongest of the Oración Seis, Midnight, is directly below them and that his defeat will stop Nirvana. They rush downwards, but at the last moment discover it's Brain's trap.[141] The group is saved by Jura's timely intervention who is heavily damaged by the ambush and rendered unconscious.[142] As they try to make sure he's okay, Brain's staff, Klodoa, laments about Brain's pathetic power, and that he should just defeat them himself before being captured by Natsu and slammed around. He frees himself from Natsu's grip and tells them of their plan: to destroy the Cait Shelter guild so Nirvana can never be resealed.[143][144]
Klodoa begins to bash them, but abruptly stops when he feels that the Six Demons have all been defeated and that this will herald the arrival of Brain's split personality, the vastly powerful and bellicose Zero. Sure enough, Zero arrives and easily defeats the team.[145] Nirvana then arrives at Cait Shelter and Zero orders it to attack. The powerful blast from Nirvana is, however, stopped with another strike from the combined efforts of the other alliance members who managed to get the Magical bomber ship Christina up and working again, which was shot down by Oración Seis beforehand. Hibiki Laytis, piloting the ship, telepathically details how to stop Nirvana: destroy the six lacrima crystals within Nirvana's legs that serves as its power source simultaneously. Zero interrupts, using telepathy himself, saying that their plan is futile as he stands in front of one crystal and will prevent anyone from trying to destroy it. The other alliance members desperately call on Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Happy to get up and they comply.[146]
Gray destroys one of the lacrimas
Using the map that Hibiki had downloaded into their heads, the group decides on which lacrima they will go to. After choosing, Happy reminds them that if they find Zero, they will have to take him down themselves and that they have no backup.[147] Gray manages to destroy one of the six Lacrima while Natsu manages to defeat Brain, stopping Nirvana once and for all.[148]
Everyone is then re-united when the New Magic Council's law enforcer Rahal shows up to arrest Hoteye for being part of the Oración Seis, and Jellal for his crimes in the past.[149] As Jellal willingly gives himself up to the Council just like Hoteye, an enraged Natsu starts attacking the Council and tries to bring Jellal back for Erza, and so he could join them as he was already "one of us" when he helped defeat Brain. Gray soon joins in and this convinces all the other Mages to help fight to get Jellal back, while Jellal and Erza can only look on painfully. As the Council fights back, ordering them to arrest every single Mage rebelling against them as well, Erza suddenly yells for everyone to stop. With that, he is taken away and everyone looks on sadly.[150]
Edolas arc Edit
Gray in Juvia's tears
Gray returns to the guild amid the celebration of Wendy and Carla's induction into Fairy Tail. He is especially greeted with enthusiasm by Juvia, who almost drowns him and a few other Fairy Tail members with her waterfall tears as she expresses her worry.[151] A few days later, the bells chime, signaling the return of Gildarts Clive, Fairy Tail's strongest Mage under Makarov.[152] When Gildarts arrives and explains that he had failed the job, Gray is seen surprised with the rest of the guild.[153] A few days later, Gray teaches Juvia how to eat some Caramade Franks while Alzack and Bisca watches them, wishing that their relationship was like theirs.[154] Gray, along with the rest of the guild and Magnolia town, is then sucked into Edolas by the Anima.[155]
Gray and Erza join the fight
Gray re-appears just when Erza Knightwalker is about to kill Happy. He and Earthland Erza beat up a few guards and declare Erza Knightwalker an enemy of Fairy Tail.[156] Although a few soldiers mistake him as Gray Surge, he does not care and demands to know where all of their crystallized companions were, while he attacks the soldiers of Edolas and Erza fights her Edolas counterpart. After hearing Wendy's scream, Gray frees Lucy of her handcuffs and proceeds to where the Dragon Slayers are held captive.[157] While running, Gray reveals that the Lacrima that was at the center of the Capital was trapping both him and Erza, and that Gajeel was the one that released them from the Lacrima state, stating that Dragon Slayer Magic has the ability to release their trapped companions. With that, he asks Happy to support Gajeel and release their trapped companions near Extalia. Arriving at the room, Gray, Lucy, and Carla fin both Natsu and Wendy unconscious on the ground. Gray immediately feeds Natsu and Wendy some X-Balls, a medicine that allows Earth Land Mages to use their Magic in Edolas. After Wendy wakes up and Natsu runs to stop the King's plan, Wendy explains to Gray, Lucy, and Carla that the Royal Army is trying to use the Giant Lacrima stationed near Extalia as a bomb to destroy the Kingdom of Extalia.[158]
Natsu runs back to the group after seeing Erza battling Erza Knightwalker. At first, Natsu is confused about the situation until Lucy and Wendy explain that Gajeel, Gray and Erza showed up. Now cleared up, the group splits into two: Gray traveling with Natsu and Lucy to find the king, while Wendy and Carla go to Extalia to warn the Exceeds.[159] Gray and Lucy suspect that the king is in some important place, but Lucy starts to wonder since the courtyard and prison were in such strange locations for a castle. Natsu and Gray then say that in short, the place has a strange layout. Lucy responds by saying she wouldn't be surprised if there was an amusement park, and to their surprise, her prediction really came true a few seconds later. However, Sugarboy and Hughes are inside the park, and they prepare to battle the three.[160] Hughes starts the battle by sending a viking ship straight into their path, but Gray blocks it with his Ice Shield. As Natsu then flies off to battle Hughes, Sugarboy traps both Gray and Lucy by making the ground soft, sinking them waist-deep. Gray then uses his strength to throw Lucy up, freeing her to help Natsu. He then creates two grappling hooks and escapes, before making a giant death scythe to attack Sugarboy. However, his Magic proves ineffective because Sugarboy's weapon, Rosa Espada, makes anything limp and soft, which includes ice.[161]
Gray creates a duplicate of the key
Later, when Sugarboy steals the key from Coco and slides away, Gray reappears while riding a motorcycle and begins chasing after Sugarboy.[162] Sugarboy tries to stop Gray using Rosa Espada on a section of the ground, but Gray merely dodges it and continues. As the chase continues, Gray asks how Sugarboy could keep sliding, to which the latter has no idea as well. He then asks the purpose of the key, to which Sugarboy explains that it's meant to activate the Dragon Chain Cannon. Gray then freezes the ground, which causes Sugarboy to slide out of control as Rosa Espada can't change the properties of the materials that it softens. With Sugarboy stopped and distracted by the motorcycle that he threw, Gray takes the opportunity to grab and freeze the key, hoping it would shatter, but to no avail. Realizing that it wouldn't shatter that easily, Gray decides to freeze it so that it can never be used. Sugarboy says that he can just soften the ice to get the key, but hesitates to do so when Gray explains that he may limp the key as well. The two begin to fight again, but when the key begins to crack, Sugarboy tries to stop their fighting. Gray doesn't stop, as it concerns their companion; Sugarboy then tells him that the cannon can return their friends back to normal if fired on the lacrima itself. As Sugarboy tries to buy some time, Gray shatters the key. Angered by what Gray did, Sugarboy attacks Gray with Rosa Espada, but is defeated with Gray's finishing technique, Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance. While Sugarboy yells at him for Gray's recklessness, the latter creates a duplicate of the key using Magic.[163] Natsu later catches up to him and learns that Gray can make a copy of the key. He then explains that they need to use the cannon and fire it on the Lacrima instead of the island it is floating on, so that the Dragon Slayer Magic will transfer to the lacrima and destroy it, thus releasing their friends. Suddenly, Erza arrives with a plan. She ties them up and brings them to the king.[164]
When the two Grays meet...
Upon entering the royal chamber, the king asks where the key is, and Erza tells him that Gray can make a copy of the key with his Magic. Erza pretends to threaten Natsu's life, giving Gray the chance to try to change the course of the cannon to save his friends, but fails to find where to change it. Erza then releases Natsu, who attacks the guards, while she grabs hold of the king and threatens to kill him if they don't change the target. The plan almost works, but Erza Knightwalker arrives and attacks Erza, causing her to let go of the king. With the king safe, the guards fire the cannon. Lucy then arrives with Coco on her Legion. Gray, Natsu and Erza climb on, and they try to stop the island from crashing into Extalia.[165] Gray, along with the Fairy Tail members and the Exceeds, manages to hold the lacrima island long enough for Mystogan to send it back to Earthland, saving everyone. Just when everyone thinks it is over, the Edolas Royal army arrives.[166] After the arrival of Dorma Anim, he, along with Erza, Lucy, Coco, Happy and Carla helps to save the Exceeds from being turned into lacrima.[167] While riding on her own Legion, Erza Knightwalker shows up and blasts Coco's Legion, sending it to the ground. Happy holds onto Lucy, and Carla holds onto Gray and Coco as they see Erza fight Erza.[168]
Lucy, Coco, Gray, Happy and Carla fall into a forest and Lucy gets upset for Happy dropping her, but he says she is heavy. Edolas troops show up. The troops spot Carla and Happy and aim to turn them into lacrima since they are the only two left. Gray attacks and protects them.[169] Lucy summons Loke while Carla and Happy dodge the beams of Magic, but Carla jumps in front of one to protect Happy. They start to lose when even more reinforcements arrive, but Edolas Fairy Tail comes to the rescue and helps them fight.[170] When Mystogan starts taking all the Magic away from Edolas, the troops lose their Magic weapons and retreat. Everyone panics, including Edolas Fairy Tail.[171] Finally, when all the Magic is gone, all the Earthland Fairy Tail members start being sucked into the Anima and return back to their home. Gray tells the Edolas Fairy Tail that they can still be a guild even without Magic.[172] They all say goodbye to Edolas Fairy Tail and Coco.[173]
After the Exceeds leave, Pantherlily arrives in his new smaller form, and everyone is shocked to see that he has captured Lisanna.[174] Everyone is confused about Lisanna's reappearance, thinking that she is the Edolas Lisanna. When Lisanna sees Natsu, she hugs him and Happy tightly, and tells Gray and Erza that its been a long time. Gray then asks if she is Earthland Lisanna, to which she answers yes, much to everyone's surprise.[175] After clarifying everything, Gray, along with the others, helps Lisanna get back to her mourning siblings and watches their tearful reunion.[176]
Tenrou Island arc Edit
Gray and Loke team up
While the guild is celebrating Lisanna's return, Gray and the others tell all the guild members about Edolas and their counterparts. During the process, he can't stop thinking about Cana's counterpart and how she dressed, to the point where he tried not to laugh.[177] Shortly after, he enters into another battle within the guild and ends up overexerting himself, and falls asleep with the rest of the guild.[178][179]
Gray vs Mest
A few days later, he, like several other guild members, started taking up numerous jobs to gain recognition for the annual Fairy Tail event.[180] The next day, the master appears alongside Erza, Mirajane and Gildarts to announce the start of the annual S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial. Gray is announced as one of eight candidates who will be participating.[181] After the ceremony, he is seen talking to his friends about the contest. At first, Juvia wants to quit the trial because she wanted to be Gray's partner; however, Gray tells them that he already has a partner, Loke, who shows up and tells Lucy that their contract is cancelled during the duration of the trial.[182]
Gray Secret Technique: Dried Plume Attack!
A week later, Gray, along with the other participants, head towards the island and complains about the scorching heat despite it being winter. He strips so much that he even removes his underwear, much to Juvia's enjoyment. After the master appears and tells the teams about the first trial, he becomes trapped in Freed's runes, along with several others. After the runes are removed, he freezes the ocean to make a path and slide to the island.[183] Gray and Loke manage to choose a battle path and face off against Mest and Wendy. Their fight ends somewhat quickly as they had managed to knock out Mest, and they go on ahead.[184]
Passed!
As they were walking through, they start talking about Mest. They both mention that although Mest came close to winning last year, they expected him to be stronger, but Loke says that they also had gotten stronger. They later wonder who his partner was last year, but neither of them seem to remember. When Gray and Loke meet up with the others, the master arrives. When the master announces how Cana and Lucy defeated Freed and Bickslow, and how Natsu managed to clear Gildart's barrier and passed, he expresses great surprise. He later asks master about how Juvia is doing, and is somewhat disappointed when the master says they met up with Erza and lost. They realize Elfman and Evergreen are the only ones left, and that they had to have met up against Mirajane and lost.
However, Elfman and Evergreen appear and the master says it's time to start the second trial. Shortly after, Natsu comes to terms with what Gildarts told him, and he challenges Gray and the other remaining contestants to see who will be the new S-class Mage. Gray simply replies that Natsu is the only one he doesn't want to lose to and that he accepts his challenge.[185]
Monsters are all around
When the second trial to find Mavis's grave begins, Gray and Loke get chased by vicious birds. With a scared expression on his face, Gray brags that the challenge isn't hard yet if it means becoming an S-class Mage. Loke just remarks on how Gray is acting tough.[186] Later, Gray is seen with Loke overhearing what Lucy says about the second exam being about intelligence, and thinks that she figured out where the grave is. Then they decide to follow Cana and Lucy, with Gray telling Loke that the second exam is also about greed.[187]
Gray and Loke vs members of Grimoire Heart
While following Lucy and Cana, Gray and Loke notice the warning signal that was launched by Erza that indicated that the exam was on hold, and that everyone must prepare for battle against an enemy. They first emerge from their hiding spot near Cana and Lucy, and are seen scolding Cana for wanting to continue the exam, and telling her that they should head back to the emergency meeting spot together.[188] However, bubbles arrive from the sky containing numerous Grimoire Heart Guild members, whom the four mostly dispatch with ease.[189] The remaining Grimoire Heart members are suddenly transported away by Caprico, who has come to fight them.[190] Right at the start of the fight, Caprico pummels them all with powerful kicks, prompting Gray to comment on his strength.[191]
The group then questions Grimoire Heart's goals, and as everyone prepares to fight again, Loke tells the others to leave so he can fight their opponent one on one. Gray says that all four of them are having a difficult time fighting their opponent, but Loke explains that their opponent uses Human Subordination Magic, which weakens the battle and Magic power of humans (but not Celestial Spirits). He then tells them that their opponent is the Celestial Spirit Capricorn, surprising Gray. Loke then yells for the others to go, and though Lucy is reluctant to leave his side, Gray and Cana persuade her to trust him and the three depart.[192]
As the three walk together, Cana suggests that they split up. Although he is reluctant to, he agrees and walks off alone.[193] While walking, Gray states Cana has a bad sense of humor, and he then realizes that he has never seen her drink since she entered Tenrou Island, making Gray wonder if she is just sober. Suddenly, he senses someone's presence. He hides behind a tree and notices Ultear walking past, speaking about Zeref. He at first mistakes her for Ur, but realizes that she is not, but a member of Grimoire Heart, and wonders who she is and why she resembles Ur.[194]
Gray in pain
As Gray continues spying on Ultear and Zeref from behind a tree, he wonders where they plan on heading and guesses that they are heading back to Grimoire Heart's master.[195] Suddenly, from the skies, Gray is hit by a jolt which, unbeknownst to him, is a sensory link Magic between him and Juvia used by Meredy, causing any pain taken by one of them to be delivered to the other one.[196] When Meredy slices Juvia's arm, Gray feels the pain too, and his yell almost attracts the attention of Ultear. Later, when Meredy adds herself to the link and takes damage, Gray again feels excruciating pain and keels over.[197]
Gray found by Ultear
When the Sensory Link cast on him disappears and he begins to wipe away the tears caused by them, Ultear appears behind him and asks if he was following her. She then goes on to explain that she is the daughter of Ur and that he shouldn't fear her, because they are comrades.[198]
A skeptical Gray questions what Ultear means by her statement that they are allies. She tells him she holds no grudge against him because she knows that he didn't kill Ur, and that in the end, it was just pride, which provokes Gray to remark that she's done evil things and that she shouldn't say that what she did was Ur's pride. Ultear then states that everything she did was the will of Ur, which suprises Gray.[199]
Gray stating he will help defeat Hades
Gray is later seen grasping his side in pain when Azuma uproots Tenrou Island's tree.[200] After Azuma's defeat Gray regains his Magical Power, and Ultear comments that everything seems back to normal. Gray was still in shock about what Ultear told him about "Ur's will". Ultear told him it's up to him whether he belives her or not and states that she is going to take Zeref and leave the island, telling him he must defeat Hades using Ur's Magic, Iced Shell, and that he is the answer to everyone's prayer.[201] Gray tells Ultear that he'll defeat Hades using Iced Shell claiming that it is not for her or Ur but for the guild.[202]
Gray saves Juvia from Ultear
After Ultear explains the story she told Gray that it was a lie and reveals her true motivations to Meredy, she finds Juvia and conjures a sword to kill her. Before she can make the killing blow, Gray blocks the attack with ice magic and brings Juvia away from Ultear. He says he figured that she was lying, telling Ultear he didn't believe a single word she said from the start.
Gray punches Ultear
He says he swore he would never consider using Iced Shell again recalling how Natsu didn't want him to die. He says his will is to live with his comrades. At this, Ultear says he isn't a simple-minded fool and is disappointed she can't use him to kill Hades. She says she didn't want to fight Ur's beloved student, but now, he's chosen to be killed in the cruelest way. Gray takes off his shirt, telling her to bring it on. Ultear then tells Gray that the one thing he doesn't know is that she's the head of the Seven Kin of Purgatory; as she is saying he will be no match for her, Gray attacks her quickly with an ice punch.[203]
Gray wakes Juvia and asks her to chase after Meredy who was ordered by Ultear to run to the "escape point" with Zeref. While Gray is distracted with seeing if the just-woken Juvia is fine and chasing after Meredy, Ultear kicks him in the face. She slams her orb into him and he counters with Ice-Make: Lance. However, using her Arc of Time, she makes the ice evaporate. She does the same thing with his next attack. She tells him that she learned her Magic specifically for killing Creation Mages like her mother. This statement enrages Gray. He has a short flashback of when he was a child and he saw Ur crying over a little girl's dress. As Ultear sends more orbs his way, he defends himself with his ice but Ultear manages to make it disappear, executing a direct hit. Gray yells that Ur had always been thinking about her and that all the things Ur can't convey to her now is so sad.
Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance, Iced Blood Version
Ultear easily overpowers him in hand-to-hand combat. When she asks him if he's resorting to physical attacks because his ice is rendered useless, he replies that he'll strike her down with ice, with Ur's Magic. She confidently responds that she cannot be defeated by his eyes. Gray uses his ice to slice the side of his own torso, surprising Ultear. He charges towards her as he declares that he'll seal her darkness. Ultear attempts to use Arc of Time on Gray's ice but it doesn't work. In reply to her confusion, he states that she can't move living things. His red ice is made of his own frozen blood. Gray makes a direct hit with Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance.[204]
Gray and Ultear falling off a cliff
Ultear is impressed by his tenacity despite the torn flesh and broken bones. However, she regains her balance, swears that she cannot lose until she reaches the great world of Magic and assumes the stance for Ice-Make, much to Gray's surprise. She creates a huge garden-like ice with roses and thorns, Ice-Make: Crown of Roses, which Gray notes is exactly like Ur's Creation Magic.[205]
After falling on the ground by Ultear's spell, he stands up and states that he never thought he'd see Ur's Creation Magic again. However, he should have expected it because they have the same blood. She shoots him with ice in anger but he retaliates by regaining his balance and pinning her down. As they roll on the ground, he asks her why she became that way and she yells for him to shut up. Their rolling takes them to a cliff and they fall.[206]
As they fall, Ultear thinks about her past to him and how she had hated her mother the day she saw her happy with her new kids, Lyon and Gray. When they fall into the water, Ultear casts her Ice-Make Magic once more. However, she becomes distracted with a voice in her head. Memories of her mother flood into her mind and so Gray uses the opportunity to cast Ice Make: War God Lance. A large pillar of ice emerges from the water with Ultear inside. He later floats to the surface of the water. With both of them rather immobile, Gray tells her a story Ur once told him: Ur had felt a light shining into her heart when Ultear was born and she dreamed a future full of hope for her. The ice holding Ultear shatters and Gray is the victor.[207]
Later, Gray brings Ultear to rest by a stone. He ties his shirt around his waist as he states that the battle is far from over. Ultear tells him that he can't win against Hades. Gray replies that he knows and that it would be impossible by himself.[208]
Later, while walking, Gray is about to collapse out of exhaustion, but is then caught by Erza, who asks him if he's okay. Gray states that it seems that he always needs to be saved by somebody. Erza replies that she's the same, too. Natsu's group arrives, overhears the words said, and with a big grin, Natsu tells them that he is the same too. The reunited Team Natsu, along with Wendy, Carla and Pantherlily, prepares for the final battle against Hades.[209]
Hades tells Team Natsu he will be waiting in his airship for their battle. Before going up, Natsu tells Carla, Pantherlily,and Happy to search the ship to prevent it from flying during the battle. Gray then uses Ice Make: Stairs and everyone walks into the ship. They all agree to start with their full power. Natsu uses his Magic as a coverup for Gray and Erza to attack. Gray uses Ice-Make: Cold Excalibur and hits Hades.[210] After Wendy casts her Magic on everyone, Gray uses Ice Make: Hammer to launch Natsu off it. Hades emerges unharmed from all the attacks and then yells Katsu. Wendy's body then disappears, only with her clothes left behind.[211]
Wendy appears in Horologium unharmed. Horologium tells everyone he was in Automatic Danger Response Mode. He detected a powerful spell was about the be used, and saved Wendy's body. Horologium sends Wendy back down with new clothes, and everyone prepares to attack again. Hades overwhelms everybody with his magic though. He shoots beams of Magic at Gray, right in his chest. Gray falls down defeated.[212] Hades eventually tells the kids his history as the secound master of Fairy Tail, and how Makarov has made bad changes to the guild. Natsu defends Makarov's changes, so Hades prepares to finish him off. Gray stares in shock as Hades winds up for the attack. Just before the spell is released, Laxus appears and head bashes Hades.[213]
Gray watches as Laxus battles Hades on mostly even terms until Laxus is hit by one of Hades explosion attacks. As Hades uses a big attack to finish Laxus, Natsu is given Laxus' lightning,[214] and Natsu seemingly defeats Hades.[215] However, Hades recovers from Natsu's attacks, unaffected. He then unleashes his Devil's Eye by removing his eye patch. Having exhausted his Magical Power, Natsu can do nothing but watch as Hades prepares to kill them.[216]
Everyone resolves to not give up despite not having any magic power, and they rush to attack Hades. Hades asks them what they can do with such a small amount of power, and then, he orders his demons to dance. Natsu trips while running to battle, but Lucy and Wendy grab him and throw him forward. Gray and Erza then kick Natsu further forward, allowing Natsu to close in on Hades. A big explosion then occurs on Hades ship.[217]
Hades realizes his heart was destroyed, which was done by Happy and Carla. With his heart destroyed and his power source gone, Hades is defeated by Natsu, Erza, and Gray.[218] The battle ends and the Exceed finally arrive while being chased by Grimore Heart members. Natsu and the others have already run out of Magic, but then the members in the camp come to the rescue. After the war Gray rests at Tenrou Island camp with his guild mates.
Everything is interrupted when Acnologia, the infamous Black Dragon, lands on Tenrou Island and starts attacking everyone. All of the Fairy Tail members start moving towards the ship as the dragon goes on its rampage.[219] Makarov then enters full Titan mode and grabs Acnologia, holding it off from attacking the guild members. Everyone wishes to help Makarov, but he shouts not to disobey his final order.[220] When Makarov is overwhelmed by Acnologia, all of them return back and go all out against the dragon. As Acnologia, having shrugged off all the combined attacks from its assailants, flies high up into the sky and readies to fire a breath attack against Tenrou Island, the guild members join their hands in a circle. While promising they will return home to Fairy Tail, they are struck by Acnologia's blast, which completely annihilates Tenrou Island, leaving nothing behind.[221]
X791 arcEdit
Gray along with the rest of the others are rescued by Bisca, Alzack, Jet, Droy, Max, Warren and the Trimens from Blue Pegasus. He watches as Mavis Vermilion reveals that she was the one who saved them and then disappears. He returns to the Fairy Tail Guild and, along with Natsu, Erza, and Gajeel, defeats the members of Twilight Ogre who were threating Romeo and is later welcomed back by Romeo.[222]
Gray's new outfit
At the party celebrating their return, Gray is surprised when Lyon, along with some of his guild mates, show up to greet them. Gray gets angry when Lyon claims he loves Juvia, as Juvia starts making a complex love chart afterwards.[223] Later on, Gray and Lyon meet alone. Lyon asks Gray if he knew people named Ultear and Meredy, and then tells him shocking information about them.[224]
Gray training
Gray with other members of Fairy Tail go to the beach to train for the Grand Magic Games. However, instead they start having fun and decide to just relax for the first day. Later on the day, Gray trains his Ice-Make by creating shapes made of ice. Later at night, he and other boys that had come with him peep on the girls while they take bath, only to get knives thrown at by Erza.[225]
Magic and AbilitiesEdit
Gray's Ice-Make
Ice-Make (氷の造形魔法 (アイスメイク) Kōri no Zōkei Mahō (Aisu Meiku)): A form of Element Maker Magic that allows the user to create ice at his will and to shape it into objects. In Gray's case, he uses Static Ice Make, meaning he can shape his ice into inanimate things or weapons. Ice-Make is known as an extremely versatile form of Magic, coming in useful both in battle, for offensive and defensive purposes, and outside of it. Specializing in it and having been practising it for years, Gray possess extreme mastery over it, being capable of creating countless amounts of objects for a multitude of uses. Also, according to him, Ice-Make allows to produce virtually everything, granting the user an unmatched creation capability.[226][227]
Freeze
Freeze: Ice-Make's most basic, yet one of its most useful capabilities is that of covering everything Gray comes into contact with in ice. This comes in useful for a variety of purposes, from damaging opponents to making things' composition weaker in order to more easily break them. What can be frozen depends on the user's own ability; Gray, with his great mastery of Ice-Make spells, has proven himself capable of freezing even burning things such as Juvia's boiling water and Fukuro's flames, as well as to freeze an object faster than Sugarboy's Rosa Espada could soften it.[228][229][230]
Ice-Make: Lance (ランスRansu): Gray extends his arms forward, creating long, curved ice lances that he shoots toward his enemy, impaling them. This makes for a powerful ranged attack.[231]
Ice-Make: Shield (シールドShīrudo): Gray creates a large shield made of ice in front of him, whose shape is vaguely reminiscent of a flower, which shields everything behind it.[232]
Ice-Make: Hammer (ハンマーHanmā): Gray creates a large ice hammer that floats above his opponent before dropping on them with great force. The first time Gray used this against Lyon, he was blocked.[233]
Ice-Make: Floor (フロアFuroa): Gray simply freezes the floor, which makes anyone in the area slip. Gray is also capable of freezing water with this spell, and slide on the resultant floor.[234]
Ice-Make: Bow: Gray creates a large bow out of ice, which can be used to shoot powerful ice arrows at his targets.
Ice-Make: Arrows: Gray creates one or more arrows out of ice, which are subsequently shot at high speed to enemies through the use of the previously made ice bow.[235] (Unnamed)
Ice-Make: Super Freeze Arrow
Ice-Make: Super Freeze Arrow: Using Ice-Make: Geyser and standing on top of the resulting ice formation, Gray can can rise up to a high point to shoot his arrow; after the shot, the speed of the arrow increases with gravity and air pressure, making ths attack much deadlier than usual. The first time Gray used this was to defeat Racer.
Ice-Make: Battle Axe(バトルアックスBatoru Akkusu): Gray creates an axe out of ice for melee combat and swings it around him. The first time he used this was against Juvia, but it was ineffective.[236]
Ice-Make: Sword
Ice-Make: Sword: Gray creates a sword out of ice for melee combat. The sword is very durable, being capable of cutting and parrying other weapons as if it were made of metal.[237]
Ice-Make: Cold Excalibur (氷聖剣 コールドエクスカリバー Cōrudo Ekusukaribā): Gray creates a massive greatsword out of ice for melee combat. As with its smaller version, the weapon is very strong and sharp; in addition, its slashes seem capable of leaving behind large wakes of ice which can damage the opponents.[238]
Ice-Make: Ice Bringer (氷魔剣 アイスブリンガー Aisu Buringā): Gray generates two curved swords of ice in his hands and rapidly moves them forward in an X motion to slash his opponent.[239]
Ice-Make: Geyser
Ice-Make: Geyser (ガイザー Gaizā): Freezing the ground in front of him, Gray creates a tower of ice spikes that impales opponents, greatly damaging them. The first time Gray used this was to attack Lyon, but he failed.[240]
Ice-Make: Ice Cannon (アイスキャノン Aisu Kyanon): Having created a large, bazooka-like hand-held cannon, Gray fires a cannonball made of ice to deal massive damage to his opponent. The first time he used this was to defeat Lyon.[241]
Ice-Make: Prison
Ice-Make: Prison(プリズンPurizun): Gray creates a large square cage out of ice to trap opponents. The first time he used this was to stop Lyon's ice animals from attacking him.[242]
Ice-Make: Grappling Hook: Gray creates two four-pointed grappling hooks with chains connected with the Ice-Make auras around his hands, which can be used to hold grasp of higher surfaces or objects, allowing him to lift himself.[243] (Unnamed)
Ice-Make: Death Scythe: Gray first creates a large scythe made out of ice, and then jumps into the air. When he's high enough, he swings the scythe at his opponent.[244] (Unnamed)
Ice-Make: Gungnir (戦神槍 (グングニル) Senjin Yari (Gunguniru)): Gray releases a gigantic lance out of ice which traps the opponent in it.
Ice-Make: Ice Dummy
Ice-Make: Ice Dummy: Gray creates a copy of himself made out of ice. The copy is perfectly identical to him, being revealed as made of ice only after a close, careful inspection, and thus coming in useful to avoid enemy attacks or to create a distraction for Gray to attack on his own.[245] (Unnamed)
Ice-Make: Stairs: Gray makes stairs out of ice, so that he can get to previously unreachable places. The stairs, despite the nature of the material composing them, don't seem to be slippy at all. The first time Gray used this was to find Lyon.
Ice-Make: Slide: Gray makes a slide out of ice, so that he can get to previously unreachable places. The first time Gray used this was to find Lyon. (Unnamed) (Anime-only)
Ice-Make: Rampart (ランパードRanpādo): Gray creates an extremely massive and high wall out of ice, which can stop his opponents in their tracks, but uses up a lot of Magic. The first time Gray used this was to stop Racer.[246]
Ice-Make: Cocoon
Ice-Make: Cocoon: Gray surrounds his body with a cocoon of ice, which has spikes jutting outwards, to protect himself from enemy attacks. It has a similar purprose to Ice-Make: Shield, but protecting Gray on every side instead of one. It's unknown, though, if this spell is durable like its standard counterpart.[247]
Ice-Make: Ice Wall: An alternative version of Ice-Make: Geyser, which freezes the opponent instead of impaling them. (Anime Only)
Ice-Make: Knuckle: Freezing the ground under his opponent, Gray creates a tower made of large ice fists which strikes his opponent.[248] (Anime Only)
Ice-Make: Saucer
Ice-Make: Saucer: Gray creates a large, spinning ice disk, capable of cutting through like a buzz-saw, which he launches at his target.[249] (Anime Only)
Ice-Make: Fishnet: Gray releases an icy wind from his hands, which takes on a fishnet-like shape, and allows him to freeze his opponent.[250] (Anime Only)
Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance
Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance (氷刃・七連舞 Hyōjin : Nanarenbu): After creating ice blades jutting back from both of his forearms, Gray displays his swordsmanship by rapidly slashing his enemy seven times. This is often used as a finishing move, causing heavy damage to the enemy.[251]
Iced Shell (絶対凍結 : アイスのドシェル Zettai Tōketsu: Aisu no Sheru): Gray also has knowledge of this forbidden, extremely dangerous and powerful Magic, and has expressed the certainty that he could use it, if he were forced to.[252]
Dried Plume Attack
Secret Technique: Dried Plume Attack: An anime-only "technique" used during the S-Class Trial. Gray consumes a large amount of Umeboshi to torture Wendy with his suffering. Together with Loke he's capable of Double Dried Plume Attack which greatly affects Wendy. The technique's purpose is likely to defeat Wendy without physically harming her.
Unison Raid
Unison Raid (lit. Fusion Magic)(合体魔法 (ユニゾンレイド) Gattai Mahō (Yunizon Reido)): In the anime, Gray and Juvia also succeeded in using Unison Raid during their fight against Dragonoid. Both Magic Seals created one, and they fused their Magic together. When Gray's and Juvia's Magic fused, there were massive amounts of water and ice needles erupting from all over Magnolia Town.[11] (Anime Only).
Enhanced Durability: Gray has also displayed tremendous durability during battle. He managed to continue fighting after being hit by boiling water, he survived Fukurou's stolen fire attacks, and endured several dozen energy blasts from Bickslow's dolls before passing out.[253][254][255] He also took the blasts from four lightning lacrima from the Thunder Palace, despite having just recovered from previous injuries.[256]
Enhanced Agility: Gray has shown on different occasions to be very fast and agile. During his fight with Bickslow in an alleyway, he displayed enough acrobatic prowess and strength to move several metres in the air by jumping from one wall to the other. He was also able to avoid some of Racer's attacks despite his overwhelming speed.[257]
Enhanced Strength: Gray has proven himself to be very strong, having been shown capable of lifting an enormous amount of large wood beams all by himself, despite subsequently being crushed under them due to distraction.[258] He was also able to lift Lucy while both of them were stuck in a quicksand-like trap and to throw her away several meters up in the air.[259]
Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: Gray possesses great skill in hand-to-hand combat, first seriously shown when, despite his grievous wounds, he managed to overwhelm Lyon when the latter angered him in battle,[260] and generally displayed in a comical way during his scuffles with Natsu. He is capable of packing powerful punches and kicks, and he often employs unarmed combat in conjunction with his Ice-Make spells to gain the upper hand in battle.
Weapons Specialist: Gray has displayed considerably great ability in wielding the weapons produced by his Ice-Make spells: he is very skilled in swordsmanship with his constructed ice swords of various forms and sizes, and is also more than capable of wielding other types of bladed weapons. He has also shown to be adept at marksmanship, using his ice bow to throw arrows at great distances with pinpoint accuracy

Natsu Dragneel (ナツ・ドラグニル Natsu Doragoniru) is a Fire Dragon Slayer, a member of Fairy Tail, and the leader of Team Natsu. He is the main male protagonist of Fairy Tail.[1]
Contents [show]
AppearanceEdit
Natsu's new outfit in X791
Natsu is a lean, well-built young man of average height with light tan skin, black eyes, and spiky rose-colored hair. He always wears a scarf that is detailed with white scales, given to Natsu by his adoptive father, Igneel.[2] Natsu has a scar on the right side of his neck that is visible in the few instances he does not wear his scarf.[3] His red member's stamp is located at the top of his right arm, just below his shoulder.
Natsu's outfit mainly consists of a black waistcoat with gold trimmings over his chest with no shirt underneath, short white trousers that go down to his knees, and a wide black wristband on his left wrist and sandals along with his scarf. He has also been known to wear a rolled up comforter strapped across his back, though he rarely carries it in battle.
PersonalityEdit
Natsu is a carefree and reckless in nature and, despite his constant brawls with the other members of the guild, is a fiercely loyal and protective friend. He thinks things through in a straightforward manner that usually involves taking things "head on". Even when faced with obvious hostility or previous grudges, he rarely holds a grudge or negative feelings towards an enemy, usually seeing the good in them. He does, however, hold a grudge against Jellal Fernandes for some time, but eventually forgives him and comes to consider him an ally.[4] He has also been shown to occasionally feel compassion for his enemies, such as when Cobra was betrayed by Brain.
Natsu constantly tries to prove his strength to others. He has challenged both Erza [5] and Laxus to fight him in the past, only to be defeated both times. However, he holds no grudge against them as he considers any member of his guild to be his friend, even in Laxus's case when he threatens the lives of his own guildmates. Due to his reckless nature, any fight Natsu involves himself in usually ends with widespread destruction. His continuous desire to fight causes Natsu to develop great wit in battle, quickly identifying his opponent's weaknesses and forming strategies to block the plans of his enemies. At times, he even defeats enemies with just his wit and trickery without throwing a punch, such as during the Galuna Island arc against Toby.[6] Natsu also seems to be very stubborn, hardly ever admitting defeat.
During the time of Lisanna's supposed death and disappearance, Natsu would get extremely upset whenever anyone carelessly brings up her name. Because of this, no one in Fairy Tail mentions her to him out of respect for his feelings.[7] This, of course, changes after Lisanna is discovered to be alive and returns from Edolas.
He suffers from motion sickness from all modes of transportation, including trains, boats, and carriages. It is to the degree that he can get sick from simply looking at a mode of transport or thinking about it,[8] and even when he is carried by another person. The only "transportation" that Natsu can freely travel on and not get sick is being carried by Happy.[9]
HistoryEdit
Little Natsu left by Igneel
Natsu was found as a baby by Igneel, a powerful Fire Dragon whom Natsu called his "father". Igneel raised him and taught him how to talk, write, and use a form of Lost Magic known as Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. On July 7, X777, however, Igneel mysteriously disappeared,[10] leading Natsu to set out in search of him. He was eventually found by Makarov Dreyar, the master of the Fairy Tail guild, where he became a member and formed a close, sibling-like rivalry with Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet.
Natsu with Lisanna, watching over their "dragon" egg.
One day, Natsu found an egg in the forest east of Magnolia Town. Assuming it to be a dragon egg, Natsu took it to the guild and asked Makarov to make it hatch, but Makarov and Erza taught him that only Natsu could do it by watching over and caring for it.[11] Lisanna offered to help Natsu to raise the egg until it hatched, which Natsu accepted happily.[12] The two built a shack out of straw in the park to keep the egg warm, developing a very close friendship in the process.
Natsu with... Happy/Dragon?
The next morning, Natsu discovered that the egg had disappeared and assumed that someone had stolen it. After Natsu argued with everyone in the guild and fought with Mirajane over the egg, Elfman appeared with the egg and confessed he wanted to help Natsu and Lisanna raise it, but was too embarrassed to ask. Suddenly, the egg hatched and, to everyone's shock, a blue cat with wings was born. Because everyone stopped arguing and became happy upon the cat's birth, Natsu named him Happy.[13]
A few years later, Lisanna left together with her siblings to go on an S-Class job to hunt a giant monster called "The Beast". Natsu wanted to go, but Elfman opposed as he felt he should be the one to care for his family. While on this mission, Lisanna was supposedly killed accidentally by Elfman after he lost control of himself while attempting to take over the monster. Though Natsu forgave Elfman, he was greatly saddened by the event.
SynopsisEdit
Macao arcEdit
Natsu's motion sickness
Natsu receives a tip from Krov that a "Salamander" had been spotted in Hargeon Town.[14] Convinced that the "Salamander" is Igneel, Natsu and Happy travel to Hargeon by train, but are sidetracked when Natsu passes out on the train and is forced to ride it a second time around.[15] After finally getting off the train, the two stumble across a crowd of lovestruck young women eagerly shouting the name "Salamander." Excited, Natsu breaks into the crowd but, rather than seeing a dragon, instead meets a narcissistic fire mage claiming to be named Salamander. Downtrodden that the "salamander" wasn't Igneel after all, Natsu rejects an autograph from the imposter, causing the mage's legion of female fans to attack Natsu and drive him away.[16]
"Salamander" tries to give Natsu his autograph
Through these antics, he saves a traveling mage, Lucy Heartfilia, from the influence of "Salamander's" illegal Charm magic, which he used to infatuate the crowd of girls. Out of appreciation, Lucy pays a meal for him and Happy, and rambles on about her ambition to join a famous guild. During the conversation, they reveal their search for Igneel in town. They are taken aback when Lucy points out a dragon would never be found in the middle of town, as this had not previously dawned on them before. Lucy leaves the two to finish their meal, but Natsu and Happy are so grateful for her random act of kindness that they feel indebted to her since they hadn't meant to help her in the first place. Natsu offers Lucy the autograph "Salamander" gave him, but she immediately refuses it, and they part ways.[17]
Natsu literally crashes the party
Later that night, Natsu overhears that "Salamander" is supposedly a member of Fairy Tail. Natsu immediately becomes suspicious and quite literally gatecrashes the party on the mage's ship, discovering Lucy to be on board as "Salamander" had tricked her into thinking he could get her into Fairy Tail. The ship's rocking motion immediately takes its toll on Natsu, leaving him defenseless against Salamander's crew.[18] After being rescued by Happy, Lucy summons the celestial spirit Aquarius, whose powerful water magic washes the boat and everyone on it ashore.[19]
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy running from Rune Knights
With the ship on dry land and its rocking motion gone, Natsu regains his vitality and confronts "Salamander," declaring himself to be a member of Fairy Tail and exposing the fire mage as an imposter member. Though one of the impostor's crew members reveals his name to be Bora, Natsu shows no interest in his identity and is only concerned with his attempts to tarnish Fairy Tail's name. Their fight is short as Natsu easily decimates Bora and his crew, destroying a majority of Hargeon's port in the process.[20] The fight attracks the attention of the Rune Knights, prompting him and Happy to flee with Lucy in tow. Lucy is initially chagrined, but Natsu, now knowing that Lucy wants to join Fairy Tail, invites her to join his guild, which she happily accepts.[21]
Natsu starting a fight in the guild
Upon returning to the guild in Magnolia Town with Lucy, Natsu angrily attacks Krov for giving him false information on the "Salamander,"[14] starting a fight which swiftly evolves into a full-scale brawl. The unruly mages are stopped by Makarov, who reads out loud to them a list of various complaints from the Magic Council about the guild members, including (but far from limited to) Natsu's destruction of Hargeon's port.[22] However, Makarov ultimately disregards the documented complaints and sets them aflame, giving his guild an inspiring speech (and giving the burning documents to Natsu as a snack).[23]
After feasting on a fiery meal, Natsu goes up to the guild's job request board to find work for food money.[24] While picking out a job, Natsu overhears Romeo Conbolt, son of Fairy Tail's Macao Conbolt, complaining to Makarov over how his father has not yet returned from his job in Hakobe Mountain to slay Vulcans. Empathizing with Romeo's troubles, Natsu leaves together with Happy to find Macao.[25] The two are accompanied by Lucy, now an official member of Fairy Tail. The three reach the snowstorm-ravaged mountain where they are attacked by a Vulcan, which notices Lucy and whisks her away to its cavern lair at the peak of the mountain.[26]
Natsu and Lucy bring Macao home
Reasoning that this particular Vulcan is responsible for Macao's disappearance, Natsu chases the Vulcan to its lair and demands to know where it has hidden Macao. However, the Vulcan tricks Natsu into coming near a hole in the cavern wall and pushes him out of it, sending him plummeting off the side of the mountain.[27] Fortunately, Happy rescues him. Once back inside the cave, Natsu sees Lucy fighting the Vulcan using her celestial spirit Taurus and, mistaking the bull spirit to be another monster, sends him flying.[28] He soon defeats the Vulcan, who is then revealed to actually be Macao, having been taken over by the Vulcan. Natsu's attack causes Macao to fall out another hole through the wall, but Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Taurus manage to pull him to safety.[29] They find Macao to be seriously wounded, having fought nineteen Vulcans before being taken over by the twentieth. Natsu saves his life by burning the wound shut,[30] and returns to Magnolia with his friends to reunite Macao with Romeo.[31]
Daybreak arcEdit
Team Natsu is formed
After Lucy gets settled into her new home, she finds that Natsu and Happy have shamelessly invaded it.[32] While she scolds them, Happy sharpens his nails on the wall, distracting her from Natsu who peeks at her bundle of sheets. She dives for them, keeping them away from Natsu, and demands that they leave, to which Natsu refuses. Giving up, she offers the two a cup of tea and teaches them a little about Celestial Spirits.[33] For a demonstration on contracting with Celestial Spirits, Lucy summons the Canis Minor Nikora, which she named Plue. She shows them the procedures that Celestial Wizards go through to contract with Celestial Spirits, telling them that she doesn't break promises. Plue suggests that they form a team, to which Natsu agrees to, and in turn, Lucy does.[34] Their first mission is to steal a book which involves the book's owner hiring a blond maid. Using the Celestial Wizard's words against her, Natsu gets Lucy to join him in the job which makes Lucy think Natsu had prepared for it from the beginning.[35]
Natsu heading towards Everlue Mansion.
When they arrive in Shirostume town, Natsu recommends they go to eat before their mission whilst Lucy went off elsewhere, declining his offer.[36] Natsu and Happy are shocked to find that when she returns, she is adorned in a maid outfit when they had only been joking about it.[37] Regardless, they make their way to the client's house, where Kaby Melon details their mission and stuns the three of them with the announcement that the reward had increased ten times in value.[38] Impassioned, they head towards the mansion where Lucy is interviewed for the maid position by Duke Everlue.
Natsu finds Daybreak
After she is rejected for being too "ugly", they resolve to sneak into the mansion by having Happy fly them to the roof and Natsu melt a window to let them in.[39][40] Quietly, they move around the mansion until they are confronted by Everlue's other maids who Natsu instantly deals with. They then discovered the library and after a quick search, Natsu locates the book DAYBREAK. Natsu was about to burn it when Lucy snatches it from his grasp as she saw it was a book by the famous author, Kemu Zaleon, and begged for him to let her keep it.[41]
Natsu and Lucy are confronted by Everlue
Just then, Everlue literally dives up from the ground, having previously held back to see what they had been up to, and calls on the Vanish Brothers to deal with them. However, Lucy declares that there was a secret in the book and runs off, asking Natsu to buy her some time. Everlue goes after her, interested about the secret, and Natsu tells Happy to follow them while he dealt with the brothers.[42]
Natsu fights the Vanish Brothers
After a brief fight with the Vanish Brothers, Natsu quickly defeats the brothers and grabs the head maid when she begins to move.[43] Consequently, when Everlue summons this head maid, who is actually the Celestial Spirit Virgo, he is pulled through the Celestial Spirit world back to the Human world. Lucy shouts for him to deal with Virgo while she defeats Everlue. He complies, delivering her a powerful blow.[44]
Natsu defeats Virgo
Lucy makes them return the book to the client where he found out the truth about the book, and to whom the book was meant for; the group decides not to take payment for the job (much to Lucy's dismay) since they didn't specifically complete what was asked for: "destroy the book".[45] They begin to return, with Natsu realizing that Lucy's earlier protectiveness was because the bundle of sheets was a novel she was creating, explaining her knowledge of books. She shouts at him to not tell anyone.[46]
Lullaby arcEdit
Natsu and Gray bicker behind Erza's back
Natsu returns to the guild and gets into another fight with Gray, but Loke warns them that Erza has returned from her mission and they comically pretend to be good friends. Much to their dismay, Erza forces Natsu and Gray to go on a mission with her.[47] When Erza finally arrives at the train station, Natsu issues her an agreement that he would only go if she agreed to fight him when they returned, to which she agrees. On the train, Natsu gets his usual motion sickness and Erza, in an attempt to make him feel better, knocks him out.[48]
Natsu attacks Kageyama when the train stops
The other members start to discuss their mission, but in the process, forget to wake up Natsu when they leave, leaving him on the train.[49] Kageyama, a member of the Dark Guild Eisenwald that the group was discussing earlier, tries to start a conversation with him. However, Kageyama attacks him and the two get into a fight with Natsu quickly getting the upper hand when the train stops. During their fight, he notices the Lullaby flute, and before the train starts to move again, jumps out of the train's window and into a Magic four-wheel vehicle driven by Erza.[50][51]
They return to the train station via the vehicle, causing Natsu to get motion sickness again, and requiring the assistance of Lucy (who is considered transport by Natsu) to drag him to the station.[52] Although denied entry, they enter anyway and are confronted by the members of Eisenwald at the station platform. Upon hearing Kageyama's voice, Natsu revives and saves Lucy from being harmed by one of Kageyama's attacks.[53] Erza then orders him and Gray to go after Erigor, and the two agree to split up to find him.[54]
Kageyama sneaking up behind Natsu
As Natsu searches, he starts destroying the walls to find him, despite the fact that doors were right next to him.[55] Kageyama sneaks up bhind him and attacks him and after they exchange a few blows, he quickly overwhelms him and questions him on the whereabouts of Erigor, just as Erza and company arrive to question him on how to dispel the barrier of wind around the station. However, to everyone's surprise, Kageyama is suddenly stabbed in the back by one of his allies and Natsu, in rage, attacks the assassin and tries to avenge Kageyama.[56][57]
Natsu defeats Erigor
Team Natsu is then freed from the wind wall by Lucy's new Celestial Spirit Virgo, who apologizes to Natsu for her previous fight with him and he quickly forgives her.[58] Natsu then uses Happy's maximum speed to chase after Erigor.[59] After he runs into him, he proves himself powerful enough for Erigor to evoke his Storm Mail spell. As the wind armor causes Natsu's fire to be put out and stops him from punching Erigor, Natsu becomes angry to the point of heating his flames using his emotions. Happy notices the effects of the superheated fire on Erigor's Storm Mail and provokes Natsu to increase his fire's heat by appealing to his sense of rivalry with Gray. This sends Natsu into a rage, and he is able to defeat Erigor.[60][61]
Fairy Tail running away
When the others arrive, Kageyama steals the Lullaby flute and goes to the Guild Masters' meeting.[62] The team quickly follows and are stopped from saving Makarov by the other Guild Masters, while Makarov convinces Kageyama to give up.[63] Since Kageyama refused to play the flute and finish off Makarov, the flute turns into a huge beast.[64] Seeing this, Natsu teams up with Gray and Erza to take it down.[65] Unfortunately, the team destroys the Guild Masters' meeting place in the process.[66] When the Guild Masters see this they turn around they see that Fairy Tail was already running away except for Natsu who offered to help chase his teammates unaware that he was being chased as well.[67]
Galuna Island arcEdit
Natsu fighting Erza
True to her word, Erza begins her fight with Natsu, but just as it warms up, Erza is arrested for property damage amongst other crimes.[68] To prevent him from recklessly going after Erza, Natsu is literally transformed into a salamander and stuck under a glass.[69] However, it is revealed that it was actually Macao who had transformed himself to give time for Natsu to smash into Erza's court hearing, crudely dressed as her, and proclaim that he is actually Erza which results in them both being imprisoned for a short time.[70]
Natsu knocks out Gray
Due to Erza's arrest being a mere formality, Natsu and Erza are soon released.[71] Natsu once again tries to fight Erza, but is swiftly defeated with one blow.[72] Natsu then tries to pick a fight with Laxus Dreyar, but is prevented from doing so by Makarov, who says he isn't allowed up to the second floor "yet".[73] Later on, Natsu breaks into Lucy's apartment, much to her annoyance, and tries to persuade her to go on a S-class mission, 'The Cursed Island', with him and Happy.[74] She initially refuses but then agrees when she notices that the award includes a Golden Key.[75] Unable to find someone to ferry them across, Natsu falls on the idea of swimming to the island, but is soon stopped when Gray appears. Just as they begin to fight, one of the sailors who had previously refused, notices their Magic and agrees to sail them across. Natsu then quickly knocks Gray out and drags him onto the boat.[76] The sailor leading then suddenly disappears, just before a tidal wave shipwrecks them on the island's shore.[77]
Gray and Natsu keep attacking the giant mouse
With Gray now agreeing to help them, they go to their client, the mayor of the island, to find out about the curse affecting the inhabitants.[78] Initially asked to do the impossible task of destroying the moon, they resolve to explore the island the next morning.[79][80] In the forest they are confronted by a gigantic mouse, which they quickly defeat, and find a ruined temple.[81] Natsu then stamps on the floor of the temple which causes it to crumble apart, and sends them hurtling down into a large cavern.[82] The cavern contains a frozen demon Deliora, and the Mages Yuka Suzuki, Sherry, and Toby. Gray tells them that they are going to stay put until the moon comes back out and Natsu instinctively falls asleep at this piece of news.[83][84] Night soon arrives, and they discover that the purple moonlight is hitting the frozen Deliora; they run up the surface to investigate and discover a ritual to free Deliora.[83]
Natsu carrying Gray back to the village
Natsu, enraged by Lyon Bastia's command to Toby and the others to destroy the village, jumps out from hiding and attacks, but is quickly stopped by Lyon's ice Magic and pushed down a hill by Gray.[85] Natsu returns back up the hill to find a beaten up Gray, and carries him back to the village.[86] When he arrives at the village, he falls into the trap that Lucy had previously placed for Lyon and his Mages.[87] The village is then attacked by Lyon's Mages who use poison jelly to try kill everyone, but Natsu destroys a large amount of the poison with his Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame attack, and sends the rest to the outer skirts of the village.[88] Natsu and Lucy are then confronted by Sherri, Yuka and Toby.[89] After Sherri and Angelica leave to destroy the villagers, Lucy accidently grabs onto Angelica and leaves Natsu to fight Yuka and Toby.[90] When Happy decides to go check on Lucy to make sure she’s okay, Natsu remarks that that’s fine and that he would take care of these two, and after a brief battle, he defeats Yuka and tricks Toby into poisoning himself.[91][92]
Natsu stops Gray from killing himself
The next day, Erza arrives and Natsu reappears alone, going into the temple from earlier.[93] After he goes into the ruins, he begins breaking them to try tilting the temple so the moonlight wouldn't reach Deliora.[94] He then starts to fight Lyon, but midway through is interrupted by Gray, who tells him that he'll fight Lyon instead.[95][96] Gray attempts to use the powerful spell Iced Shell to kill both himself and Lyon, but is stopped by a punch to the face by Natsu.[97] Enraged at being ignored by Zalty, he chases after him and falls into another fight.[98]
Natsu defeats Zalty
Their battle leads into Deliora's cavern, where Natsu is shocked to find that Deliora's frozen prison is melting.[99] Natsu eventually finds a way around Zalty's Arc of Time Magic and punches him away just as the ritual for Deliora's revival is complete.[100] However, it is then revealed that Deliora had actually been long dead.[101]
Natsu is dragged off by Erza to receive his punishment.
They then realize, thanks to Erza, that the ritual had nothing to do with the villager's demonic transformations, but that it was instead excess Moon Drip Magic creating a barrier around the island, making the moon look purple and making the villagers forget that their demonic appearance was actually their true appearance.[102]
Phantom Lord arcEdit
Natsu and the others find the Guild destroyed
As they return from their S-rank mission, they find the guild destroyed. They learn from Mirajane that it was their rival, Phantom Lord. Natsu argues with the master, telling him that they should fight back, but Makarov decides there is no point in getting angry with someone who attacks an empty guild, much to Natsu’s dismay.[103] Later, they discover the heavily injured bodies of Shadow Gear's Levy McGarden, Jet and Droy nailed to a tree, and Makarov declares war on Phantom.[104]
Natsu smashes into Phantom Lord, attacking with many other members of Fairy Tail
They rush to Phantom Lord's guild and directly attack its members. When they arrive, Natsu breaks down the door and the battle between the two guilds begin.[105][106] When Makarov leaves to crush Phantom Lord's leader, Jose Porla, Gajeel Redfox joins the fight. He initially fights with Elfman before Natsu takes over, and the two dragon slayers have a fairly equal fight.[107] However, the fight soon turns sour when Makarov falls from above after losing his Magical power.[108]
Natsu saves Lucy
After witnessing the Master’s apparent defeat, Erza orders them to retreat, much to the dismay of Natsu and the rest of the guild. Just as they are about to leave, Natsu overhears Gajeel and a member of the Element 4, Aria, saying they had captured Lucy. He kidnaps one of Phantom Lord's members, burning him until he told Natsu where Lucy may be. Out of fear of further injury, the member of Phantom Lord tells him that she was most likely at their headquarters.[109] Natsu sprints to it, shouting Lucy's name, leaping in the air, and catching her as she deliberately fell from the headquarters's tower prison. Seeing as they were at the headquarters, Natsu wishes to continue the fight, but Happy and a tearful Lucy make him reluctantly agree to retreat.[110]
Back at the guild, Natsu consoles a depressed Lucy, telling her that Fairy Tail is her "home".[111] The guild begins to quake and they go outside to see a gigantic walking building: Phantom Lord's headquarters, which unveils its powerful cannon, Jupiter.[112] Jose then orders the cannon to be fired, but Erza requips her adamantine armor and resolves to stop it, despite Natsu and the rest of the guild begging her not to. The cannon is then shot towards the guild, but Erza takes the full brunt of Jupiter, and prevents it from annihilating the guild.[113] Jose warns them that another such blast will be fired unless Lucy is given to them, but every single one of them adamantly refuses. As a result, Jose tells them to shiver in 15 minutes of fear as it reloads.[114]
Natsu vs. Totomaru
Natsu declares that he'll smash it before this happens; Happy flies them to the building, but just as he is about to destroy the lacrima of the cannon, he is confronted by a member of the Element 4, Totomaru.[115] Because Totomaru's element relates to fire, he is able to control any type of flame, and causes grief for Natsu before he figures out how to overcome Totomaru's control and destroy the lacrima the moment before the cannon fires.[116] Enraged, Jose orders for the walking building to transform into a gigantic Mage; the transformation process caused it to temporarily turn into a vehicle, invoking Natsu's motion sickness, and Totomaru almost strikes him with his Rainbow Fire before the arrival of Gray and Elfman, who finish the Phantom member off.[117] Happy rushes outside to see what has happened and informs them that the building has become a Mage and is about to unleash a massively destructive spell. They then agree to split up to find the source of the Magic.[118]
Natsu vs Aria
As Natsu is searching, he meets the strongest of the Element 4, Aria.[119] Natsu is dominated during the fight and nearly loses his Magic via Aria's Void; he is saved by Erza, who defeats Aria in one blow.[120] Erza collapses from exhaustion moments before Jose announces (via loudspeakers) that they have captured Lucy. Erza shouts for Natsu to unleash his hidden power and protect them all. Natsu, inspired by this, discovers newfound determination and flames forward until he smashes through a wall and saves Lucy being impaled from one of Gajeel's daggers.[121][122]
Natsu vs Gajeel
The two Dragon Slayers then begin their lengthy fight.[123] Although equal at first, Gajeel takes the upper hand when he eats the metal tiles and restores his health.[124] This abruptly changes when Natsu gets to eat fire thanks to Lucy's Celestial Spirit, Sagittarius, and he simultaneously defeats Gajeel with his Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon Fist, and destroys his guild.[125] Natsu falls due to fatigue but stays behind in the guild as Happy takes Lucy back to Fairy Tail.[126] Natsu questions Gajeel about where he learned his Magic; Gajeel replies from the metal dragon Metalicana who disappeared on the date 7/7 X777, similar to Igneel.[127]
Natsu and Gray are hit by Erza
Whilst reconstructing the broken guild, Natsu carries a great deal many more wooden beams than necessary, and indirectly challenges Gray to carry as twice as many, who accepts and does so for a short second. Erza hits them and forces them to stop messing around before Loke gives Gray Lucy's keys, which she had lost when she was caught by Juvia Lockser.[128] Natsu, Gray and Erza decide to go to her house for a short break, but find that she has left to go home. They rush to her house and are relieved to discover that she was only going to see her mother's grave.[129][130] When they return, Natsu and Gray overhear Lucy’s conversation about the punishment she received from Aquarius from losing the keys, and ponders what expression Lucy would have if he made her butt hurt. He never follows through with this, as he is struck by a chair thrown by an enraged Erza.[131] Her fury is directed at Laxus, who derides the weakness of Shadow Gear. Natsu throws a fist at Laxus who effortlessly dodges and then leaves with the affirmation that he will make the strongest guild. Erza tells Natsu to leave him, and then proposes that she, Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Happy should do a job together: attack an illegal Magic school. While doing the job, they destroy half a stretch of road.[132]
Loke arcEdit
Natsu as a dragon in a play
Natsu is first seen incorrectly playing pool with Gray.[133] After Lucy takes a “special job” from Mirajane, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Lucy travel to their destination, and Natsu is seen laying on the ground, suffering from his usual motion sickness.[134] Natsu and the others go to help a theater house by becoming actors for a play. However, Natsu's and the others' destructiveness cause the play to become apparently ruined, but, to their surprise, it becomes a hit anyway.[135]
Natsu preparing for a pillow fight
Later, Natsu and the others go to Balsam Village and after defeating some troublemakers in the area, decide to stay in the town for the night. As they are talking, they notice Loke in the distance and come over to speak to him, until he quickly runs away at the sight of Lucy.[136] During their stay, Natsu, Gray, and Erza get into a serious pillow fight. Gray apparently wins, but Natsu wouldn't accept it so the two of them call on Lucy to decide for them.[137][138] He later searches through the town for Loke, who had suddenly left Fairy Tail.[139]
Tower of Heaven arcEdit
Natsu's imaginative spirit.
Upon discovering that Loke is a Celestial Spirit, Natsu expresses his desire to be able to summon a dragon, claiming he wants a way to test the extent of his Dragon Slayer Magic. When Loke gives Lucy the tickets to a resort, where he had previously reserved rooms for himself and his girlfriends, Natsu joins her, Erza, and Gray in a break from the jobs assigned at Fairy Tail.[140] After spending a day of relaxation at the resort with the other members of the group, Natsu tries his luck at roulette in the casino, but is attacked by Wally Buchanen in the middle of the game, who tries to kill Natsu by firing his gun into his mouth.[141]
After the abduction of both Erza and Happy, Natsu, incensed by Wally's attempt to kill him, assists the others (with the newly arrived Juvia Lockser) in tracking Erza by using his sharp sense of smell to follow her scent across the sea to the Tower of Heaven.[142][143] Upon arrival, the team uses Juvia's oxygen bubbles to sneak into the tower's basement through an underwater tunnel, and Natsu's desire for an open fight is fulfilled when they are challenged by the guards there.[144] After meeting up with Erza, Natsu rushes off on his own to find Happy, and gets his revenge on Wally.[145]
Natsu fights Wally and Millianna.
After finally arriving at Millianna's room, he tries on a cat-themed costume head, but finds that it is stuck.[146] When Wally tries to ambush him again, he is saved by Millianna, who believes that Natsu is a real cat and doesn't want Wally to hurt him.[147][148] He is nearly killed again when Wally convinces Millianna that he is not, in fact, a cat, and the two attack in tandem, but he is saved by Happy's return. He ends up defeating both Mages by using a joke-move, the "Ultimate Strike: Kitty in Pain", to invoke Millianna's pity and make her release him from his bonds, allowing his Magic to return and beating them with a single attack using his Fire Dragon's Wing Attack.[149]
Natsu fights Fukuro.
After Happy finally removes the cat mask off of Natsu, Wally attempts to continue their fight, but Natsu states that it is already over. Suddenly, dozens of mouths grow all over the walls, and Jellal tells everyone that they are part of the Paradise Game and explains the rules to them.[150][151] Following Jellal Fernandes's beginning of the Paradise Game, Natsu tries to cheat by using Happy's Magic to fly to the top floor directly, but is intercepted by Fukuro.[152] Simon tries to fight Fukuro in Natsu’s stead, but is easily defeated.[153] Natsu and Fukuro then begin their battle.[154] Fukuro takes advantage of Natsu’s motion sickness to incapacitate and then swallow him, thus absorbing his Dragon Slayer abilities.[155] But the final stages of absorption are stopped by Gray, who, in a rage due to Erza's condition, battles and then defeats Fukuro with his Seven Slice Dance, freeing Natsu from his stomach.[156]
Natsu fights Jellal.
After the fight with Fukuro, Natsu wakes up on Simon’s back. Simon takes Natsu and begs him to save Erza. Natsu refuses at first, saying that Erza needed to defeat her own opponent and that was something he didn't want to interfere, but he changed his mind once Simon told him that she can't defeat Jellal.[157][158] He also states that she is still trying to save Jellal and that Jellal will take advantage of her emotions. Simon displays his concern that Erza might take advantage of the Etherion to die and take Jellal down with her, which makes Natsu reach his boiling point, and ask Simon about Erza's whereabouts.[159] After the Etherion was fired, Natsu manages to arrive just in time to save Erza from being absorbed into the R-System lacrima and tells her that they need to finish their job, otherwise they won't make it to Lucy's rent on time. She tells him that she can't move, to which he comically tickles her. Erza then tells Natsu to leave and not to fight Jellal because he will only lose, and she tearfully begs him to listen to her. However, Natsu picks Erza up, asking her why she is like that and telling her that he'll win this fight, subsequently knocking her out. He turns back to Jellal, accusing that he was the reason behind Erza crying and he says she should be strong, mean, and scary, . Natsu says he hopes Erza will be the Erza he knew once she wakes up and that he'll fight Jellal for that and charges him.[160]
Natsu after he eats the Etherion
Natsu fights Jellal and seems to dominate over him, before Jellal reveals that he wants to know the Dragon Slayer abilities. Natsu has trouble predicting a now serious Jellal's movement and is seemingly overpowered by Jellal's Grand Chariot attack. When Jellal talks about that the damage that he had dealt to the tower, Natsu takes advantage of his words and begins destroying some of the lacrima, saying that Fairy Tail mages specialize in property damage and that he's still able to fight.[161] He tries to fight Jellal once more and destroys more of the lacrima; this prompts Jellal to prepare an attack that will finish off Natsu, but Erza wakes up and steps in, hoping that he wouldn't attack her. Jellal tells them that it doesn't matter anymore and launches his attack on them. Much to their shock, Simon steps in and sacrifices himself to protect them. While Jellal is mocking Simon, Natsu starts eating the lacrima, and he tells Jellal to shut up and punches him when Jellal says they will not escape. He eats more of the Etherion-infused lacrima and starts to go wild.[162] Natsu experiences negative side effects from eating the lacrima, apparently being unable to handle the magic power of Etherion. He suddenly stabilizes and enters Dragon Force and is able to dominate Jellal. Jellal is able to get away and fly above the tower and attempts to use Abyss Break to defeat Natsu; however, a wound caused by Erza interrupts his attempt at casting the powerful spell. Natsu says there's no freedom for someone possessed by a ghost and takes advantage of this opening to attack and defeat Jellal.[163]
Natsu saves Erza
Natsu faints after the battle and Erza carries him, but she realizes that the Etherion went out of control and will soon cause a giant explosion that will kill everyone around them. Erza decides to sacrifice herself and fuse with Etherion to save everybody. Natsu wakes up as she starts the fusion and asks Erza what she is doing. She replies that this is the only way to save everybody and she can't imagine the world without Fairy Tail or her friends. If she can save everyone, then she will do it without any hesitation. Erza finishes the fusion and says she'll always be with them as a crying Natsu begs her to get out of there; the tower then disappears.[164] After this, Erza sees a vision of her funeral. In the vision everyone is very sad that she is dead except for Natsu who loudly denies that Erza is dead and is attacked by some attendees of the funeral and shoved to the ground. Seeing this, Erza realizes that her decision left her friends with a sad future and wants it to stop. She suddenly wakes up and realizes that she is alive and sees everyone running towards her. She notices that Natsu is carrying her, and he lets her down while stating that they are the same. Natsu, in tears, tells her not to do something like that ever again. Erza promises Natsu not to risk her life again and gives him a genuine thanks, realizing that she needs to live for her friends' sake to bring a happy future.[165]
Natsu sleeps for three days straight and temporarily wakes up after Gray insulted him who also reminds him of how he got eaten by Fukuro. He suddenly falls asleep again. He feasts later that night after finally waking up from his Etherion injuries.[166] As Erza starts her send off for Wally, Millianna and Shô, Natsu appears and says he hopes to see them again sometime soon and sets off fireworks, using his magic, along with Gray and Lucy as a farewell.[167]
Fighting Festival arcEdit
Natsu's sickness after eating Etherion.
Natsu returns from the tower to find the guild rebuilt and two new members: Juvia and Gajeel. Provoked by Gajeel, he starts a huge fight with him, which quickly includes the other members. It appears he doesn't particularly like the new look of the guild as well, saying that it is not the same as it used to be.[168] Later, he starts to suffer from some side-effects from absorbing the Etherion during his fight with Jellal. He leaves for home, but sleeps instead in Lucy's bed. Later, he returns temporarily to hunt a Sorcerer Magazine guy that he believes is destroying his reputation.
During the Festival, Natsu is still dozy as Evergreen froze the participants of the Miss Fairy Tail contest.[169] Laxus, along with his bodyguards, the Thunder God Tribe, announced his "Fairy Tail battle", threatening to kill the girls unless everyone joined in, effectively making them hostages.[170]
Natsu stuck in Freed's enchantment
Natsu is suddenly rejuvenated by the prospect of a battle royale between guild members, and is back on his destructive feet. He leaps forward to attack Laxus, but a quick electric shock from Laxus deals with Natsu. Swiftly getting back on his feet, he sprints to join the fight, but is unable to leave the guild due to Freed Justine's enchantment [171] (which affected Gajeel the same way). It is believed that, due to their Dragon Slayer Magic, they are unable to get out of the guild . He then tried to free Erza with Gajeel by heating her up. Inadvertently, they succeeded, but not without Erza punching them both for their carelessness [172] and then running out to fight . Her reappearance in the battle came in tandem with the arrival of Mystogan.
Natsu and Gajeel, ready to fight
Despite Makarov's worries, Natsu still had faith that Laxus wasn't going to harm anyone. However, Laxus himself cast serious doubt on this when he threatened to destroy the entire town by activating his Hall of Thunder, in response to losing his hostages after Evergreen's defeat at the hands of Erza. Levy, now released from the stone enchantment as well, offers that she can break the barrier,[173] allowing Natsu and Gajeel to enter the battlefield, and eventually manages to do so.
Natsu vs Laxus (part one)
Natsu eventually finds and confronts Laxus at Caldia Cathedral and is just in time to catch a glimpse of Mystogan's face, which looks exactly like Jellal. Erza asks Mystogan if he is Jellal, but Mystogan denies this and says he only knows Jellal. Natsu then challenges Laxus, and while initially indifferent to him, Laxus starts to take him seriously after Natsu manages to score a few hits. As Erza leaves to deal with Laxus's Hall of Thunder, Natsu chides Laxus for not really wanting to carry out his plan, saying that he just wants his grandfather to give in (whom neither realize has fallen deathly ill). He has faith that Erza will stop the spell, despite Laxus's thoughts otherwise. Natsu's faith is proven as they see a report that the Hall of Thunder has been stopped due to Erza and the recovered Fairy Tail members. Though the town is spared from the Hall of Thunder, the inhabitants are now threatened by an enraged Laxus as he goes berserk.
Natsu and Gajeel fight Laxus
Natsu holds his own for a few moments, but is soon overpowered. Gajeel then joins in, saving Natsu from a finishing strike, and both reluctantly team up to fight Laxus. After a few assorted combos of Metal and Fire Dragon Slayer techniques, after the smoke clears, a still-unharmed Laxus remains unimpressed and offers to show them both "true Dragon Slayer magic". Laxus releases a lightning version of the Dragon's Roar, inflicting critical damage and paralyzing both Natsu and Gajeel. Laxus attempts to use the extremely powerful Fairy Law to kill everyone, both from the guild, as well as the whole of Magnolia, but the attack fails.
Natsu's roar after he defeats Laxus
Freed, still injured from his fight with Mirajane, appears and explains it is because Laxus's heart doesn't see the Fairy Tail members nor the people of Magnolia as enemies. Laxus vows to change the guild but then Natsu gets up, ready to stop him and prove that his comrades are precious to him. Natsu is then beaten into the ground by Laxus but keeps getting back up. Laxus is about to kill Natsu with another Lightning Dragon move, but Gajeel absorbs it by using himself as a lighting rod. Finally, Natsu comes back with a flurry of Fire Dragon moves in an eight-hit combo, defeating Laxus. Victorious, Natsu stands tall and yells at the top of his lungs.
Natsu on Fantasia Parade
After the fight, most of the members recover from the brutal beatings they had taken, Natsu included, whose mouth was bandaged shut, muffling his speech. When Laxus shows up at the guild to see Makarov, Natsu yells (his muffles translated by Gajeel) at him that he didn't consider the two-on-one as a fair victory, and that he wanted a rematch with Laxus. However, instead of the usual comeback, Laxus merely waves after the guild without facing them, earning him a confused glance from Natsu. Despite his injuries, Natsu takes part in the Fantasia parade in a fire-blowing float.
Oración Seis arcEdit
The following week, his injuries healed, Natsu confronts Makarov about Laxus's excommunication, but is stopped by Erza. When Lucy worries about her lack of money, Natsu suggests they take a job, making her weep in joy. The next day they, along with Happy, Erza and Gray prepare to leave to find and capture the escaped convict Velveno. Lucy suddenly darts off - confused, the others follow her, but find that she is okay and had almost literally defeated a whole guild by herself.
Useless Natsu can only eat
As Lucy is short on payment for her rent, Natsu, along with Gray and Erza, help her by taking jobs as waiters and waitresses in a Magical restaurant. However, Natsu spends most of the time eating the food rather than serving it, and after all the work is done, supports a rather bloated figure. They return to the guild to find a drawing of the various factions of the Dark Guilds and the current strength of the Balam Alliance. Makarov then picks him and his team as delegates to go after Oración Seis.
Natsu and Gray... Not too cool...
As he ventures to the meeting point, he meets The Trimens and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki, who were Blue Pegasus's delegates. He, along with Gray, is not impressed with them. Soon, they meet the Lamia Scale Guild members to join them and he becomes even more unimpressed in the form of two old foes, Lyon and Sherry, and one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Jura Nekis. However, as he meets the Cait Shelter Guild member, Wendy Marvell, along with her cat Carla, he gives an impression of recognizing Wendy's name. Later, he runs out looking for the Oración Seis to take them all on, one on one.
Natsu fights Naked Mummy
After the Oración Seis find them, Natsu is beaten by them and nearly killed until Jura Nekis arrives to save him and the others. As they discover Erza's poisoned state, Carla suggests that they find the captured Wendy, who is revealed to be the Dragon Slayer of the Sky, and Happy, so she can save her. With this, Natsu runs off with Carla and Gray, asking Carla along the way what element Wendy consumes using her Dragon Slayer powers, which happens to be air. Natsu wonders if it is tasty to which Carla replies she doesn't know, though Gray conjectures that it is the same as inhaling. They continue their search, only to find and beat the Naked Mummy Guild. After discovering Oración Seis's hideout, Natsu goes on ahead while Gray fights Racer. As he arrives, Natsu is met with a shock: Jellal is revived. Natsu takes his time to take Wendy back to Erza so she can heal her. Hibiki Laytis helps Natsu bring Wendy to Erza and she is healed. Suddenly, Nirvana is revealed, and Natsu rushes headstrong to stop Jellal.
Natsu caught in Angel's trap
On his way, he runs into Racer's personal guild Harpuia and defeats them easily. Natsu then finds an unconscious Gray floating in a river and tries to help him, but when he gets there, a raft pops up out of the water and Natsu's motion sickness takes over. Gray gets up, acting strangely, and prepares to make a killing blow. Lucy and Hibiki appear, halting Gray as the raft comes to a stop; despite this, Natsu still feels the effects. It is revealed that Gray was actually Angel's Celestial Spirit, Gemini. Lucy faces off against her and wins, but rapids suddenly appear and drag her and Natsu (by the raft) down the river and a waterfall. He later wakes up on dry land along with Lucy, and notices that Virgo has been taking care of them by treating Lucy's wounds and changing their clothes by her own will. Sherry, who has murderous thoughts due to Nirvana, appears suddenly and is about to attack Natsu and Lucy when Gray crashes in and holds her down, and Lyon shows up to be alive as well, making Sherry revert to normal. Natsu, along with Gray and Lucy, are caught up in the activation of Nirvana's second stage; they are later seen climbing up one of its legs.
As Natsu's motion sickness kicks in, Happy arrives to help him, so as he flies to stop Brain, Cobra takes to the skies as well to battle Natsu. As the two begin to battle, Cobra stays ahead of Natsu by reading his thoughts, but Natsu overcomes this by fighting on instinct. Natsu becomes shocked as he realizes that Cobra is the Poison Dragon Slayer.
Natsu beats Cobra
However, he learns that Cobra is actually artificial like Laxus, so Natsu fights to defeat yet another artificial Dragon Slayer. After being infected with some of the poison, Natsu becomes enraged that Cobra considers all dragons extinct and tries to defeat Cobra again with a huge roar that shatters Cobra's sensitive ear drums. However, Cobra survives only to be defeated by Brain. With this, Brain reveals that he plans on using Nirvana to turn Natsu evil so he can serve him, but the timely arrival of Gray, Lucy and Jura save him. After Jura deals with Brain, Wendy and Carla arrive and Wendy heals Natsu's poison while temporarily curing him of motion sickness.
As the team is led into a trap by Brain, Natsu becomes enraged to see Jura nearly killed from defending them from it. When the seventh member of the Oración Seis, Brain's staff Klodoa, appears to him, Gray, Lucy and Happy, Natsu is unfazed by the fact that he is a talking stick and waves him around, demanding that he stop Nirvana.
Natsu brings himself back up.
Klodoa, however, frees himself from Natsu's grasp and tells him of their plan to destroy Cait Shelter so Nirvana cannot be resealed. Klodoa then starts whacking, but then abruptly acts nervously (due to Midnight's defeat at Erza) as he tells that since all the Oración Seis members have been defeated, a new side of Brain will emerge, codenamed Zero. This new personality then appears himself; Natsu comments that Zero's Magic feels disgusting, and attacks him when Zero easily smashes through Gray's Ice Shield. Zero dodges Natsu's attack and delivers a powerful one of his own, knocking Natsu down. After some encouraging words, Natsu wills himself back up and goes to Lacrima #1.
Natsu with Flame of Rebuke
However, Zero awaits him and the two battle fiercely. Natsu even stops a spell Zero thought couldn't be stopped. Suddenly, Jellal appears and delivers a powerful Magic blast to Natsu, shocking both him and Zero, the latter asking if Jellal had regained his memories. In fact, Jellal's memories had not returned, but he does remember Natsu's name and calls him the ray of hope. The Magic blast was actually a powerful fire attack intended to give Natsu back his strength.
Natsu's wrath
Initially, Natsu refuses Jellal's help and even proceeds to attack him. Taking advantage of the situation, Zero fires another spell at Natsu. Jellal defends him by taking the full force of the blast. This prompts Natsu to accept the Flame of Rebuke from Jellal to defeat Zero, and he receives a large boost in strength and speed. In his Dragon Force mode, he manages to beat Zero (after some initial trouble controlling his power) and destroys the Lacrima Crystal, along with the other five Mages in each leg of Nirvana.
Wendy thanks Natsu
At last, they manage to stop the Nirvana and the Oración Seis once and for all, but the celebration doesn't last long as the newly reformed Council shows up to take away Hoteye and Jellal into custody. While Natsu and Wendy protest against this, Jellal, Erza and everyone else only look on sadly.
Natsu tries to take Jellal back by force and attacks the council guards, but is stopped by Erza. He later appears at Cait Shelter and gets a new outfit to replace his torn up one and learns about Cait Shelter's disturbing secret. Natsu shows joy about being on a boat thanks to Wendy, but quickly gets sick again when her Magic wears off. He returns to Fairy Tail and tries to tell Elfman about his battle against Cobra.
Edolas arcEdit
Gildarts shows Natsu his injuries.
After finding out that Gildarts Clive was on his way back, Natsu and the rest of Fairy Tail prepare for his arrival. Even the whole town gets ready, dividing in two in order to avoid Gildarts accidentally smashing through private houses.[174] Upon Gildarts's arrival, Natsu immediately challenges him to a fight and charges at him, only to get deflected into the ceiling, where he comments on how strong Gildarts is.[175] Gildarts invites him to visit him a bit later at his house.[176] When Natsu and Happy arrive, Gildarts jokes about Natsu's relationship with Lisanna, but is shaken when Natsu tells him that she died two years ago while he was on his mission. Natsu tries to leave, but Gildarts mentions that he ran into a dragon while on his mission. He says it wasn't Igneel because it was a black dragon, not a red one. He recounts that he fought it and that it was the reason he failed the quest. Natsu decides he will go to the sacred mountain, Zonia, where Gildarts encountered the dragon, in the hopes of learning where Igneel is. Gildarts stops him and shows him the wounds he received from the dragon: the loss of his left arm, leg and an organ. Natsu runs out afterwards, saying a Dragon Slayer could defeat the dragon, tripping and falling into a pond before reminiscing about Igneel.[177]
Natsu and the others are discovered
While asleep, the Anima absorbs the guild. Only he, Wendy, Happy, and Carla are left behind because of their Dragon Slayer powers. Here, Carla explains about "Edolas", a parallel world. Natsu then plans to go to Edolas to save the guild. As he goes to the Edolas version of Fairy Tail, he becomes amazed as he sees how everyone is so different. He then gapes at how scary the Edolas version of Lucy is from her counterpart.
Edolas Lucy hugs Natsu
Edolas Lucy quickly realizes who Natsu is, likely confusing him with the Edolas Natsu, and hugs him, asking where he's been before punishing him. Later, Edolas Lisanna shows up and Natsu quickly sheds tears of joy. Just as he is about to hug her, Edolas Lucy kicked him in the face, and he soon hears Carla saying that everyone here is not from their guild and that they are their Edolas counterparts. Just as he is about to search for his friends, news of the Fairy Hunter arrive, and the guild has to transfer away. He later learns that the Fairy Hunter is none other than Edolas Erza, and to get his friends back, he probably will have to fight her.
Natsu running away from the frog monster.
Upon escaping the Fairy Hunters, Natsu reveals that they came from Earth Land to save their guild, which surprises the Edolas Fairy Tail members. When he requests to know how to get to the Capital, just about everyone tells him to give up on that idea, as it is practically suicidal. However, even after hearing the history of Edolas on guilds and their master, Natsu isn't faltered and firmly says that he will save his guild and his companions. This shocks everyone in the guild, especially Lucy. Upon receiving the directions to the Capital, Natsu gets sidetracked and wants to capture a small, frog-like creature and give it to Earth Land's Lucy as a gift, to which Happy says it's a bad idea. The capture, however, is unsuccessful, as an extremely large frog-like creature appeared, and they are forced to run away when they realize that they can't use Magic. Out of nowhere, Edolas Lucy saves them, and tells them that she came with them because the area was dangerous, and not because she was worried. Upon hearing that, Natsu says that she's Lucy after all, to which Lucy responds by saying that was a twisted way of logic he was thinking.
Edolas Weapon, Sealed Flame Blade
Later, the group makes their way into the Town Of Luen, where Natsu purchases a Magic sword hilt from a secret Magic black market. When the Edolas Royal Army discovers them, he immediately puts his weapon to use, sending streams of fire at the soldiers. However, they use a Magic shield against his attack, and Natsu finds that he is unable to use any more Magic due to it being limited in Edolas. He then manages to escape for a short while with the rest, and is shocked to find out that Earth Land Lucy has managed to find her way into Edolas with the help of Mystogan.
Eventually, Natsu and the group made it to Sikka, where they decide to spend the night. While eating, he watches the two Lucys arguing about their bodies, to which Natsu retaliated with a question of why they were taking a bath with their counterpart. The next day, while listening to Edolas Lucy explain that a race called Exceed existed, they see an airship that belonged to the Royal Army. Natsu wants to ride on to get there, but when Wendy states she can't perform Troia here, he says that that was a bad idea after all. Watching Lucy fail to summon the correct Celestial Spirit due to one of Loke's dates, Natsu and Wendy decide to battle with their weapons fully recharged. They are defeated in matter of moments, however. When the airship flys off and they almost get captured, all hope seemed lost until Edolas Natsu emerges with his vehicle and escapes with the group. Experiencing motion sickness, he listened to his counterpart introduce himself as Natsu the Fireball.
Dragneel meets Dragion
Arriving at the outskirt of the capital of Edolas, Edolas Natsu threw everyone out. He explains that he doesn't want to fight the capital as it's extremely foolish, and says that the only reason why he even did them a favor is because Edolas Lucy requested him to help. Before Edolas Natsu has the chance to leave, Earth Land Natsu pulls him off his vehicle and asks why he won't get motion sickness. His counterpart's cowardly response off his vehicle surprises everyone else. Earth Land Natsu then comments on how Lucy should treat his counterpart better, even though she was only trying to introduce herself to his counterpart. Although Edolas Natsu says that they won't win against the Royal Army, Earth Land Natsu only gives a smile of confidence, saying that they will rescue their friends and companions from the enemy. Later, inside the kingdom, they find the Lacrima, which is guarded by the Royal Army.
Lucy tries to stop Natsu.
While listening to the king's speech, they notice that parts of the Lacrima have been removed, and when the King chipped off a bit of the Lacrima, Natsu nearly loses it, had Lucy not held him back. Later, when Carla devises a plan to sneak into the palace, they take a path into an abandoned mine and once they make it out, they are captured by Edolas Erza. Natsu looks on, shocked at Happy, as the soldiers bow down to Happy and Carla. Natsu and Wendy are locked up in a jail cell; Natsu asks the guard what happened to Lucy. After hearing the guard say that they will execute her, he becomes furious and threatens to kill them if they touch Lucy. The guards later reveal that the Exceeds' mission was originally to assassinate the Dragon Slayers, but had been changed to capture them instead. Natsu is next seen unconscious as Byro prepares to extract his and Wendy's Dragon Slayer Magic. When Gray and Erza save Lucy, Happy, and Carla from Erza Knightwalker, Gray gives an unconscious Natsu an Ex-ball, a food that allows Earth Land wizards to use their unlimited Magic in Edolas. Upon waking up, Natsu sees his power restored, breathes out fire, and rushes to stop the Fairy Tail Lacrima from colliding with Extalia.
Natsu's reaction when he sees two Erzas
He eventually runs into Wendy, Carla, Lucy, and Gray. At first, Natsu is confused about the situation until Lucy and Wendy explain that Earth Land Gajeel, Gray and Erza showed up. Now cleared up, the group splits into two; Natsu travels with Lucy and Gray, and asks where the king is. Gray and Lucy suspect in some important place, but Lucy starts to wonder, since the courtyard and prison were in such strange locations for a castle. Natsu then says that in short, the place has a strange layout. Lucy responds, saying that she wouldn't be surprised if there was an amusement park, and coincidentally there was one right in front of them. Sugarboy and Hughes show up, stating how much they want unlimited Magic, and prepare to fight Natsu and the others. Hughes starts off by dropping a ship on Natsu, Gray, and Lucy, which is blocked by Gray's Ice Shield.
Natsu and Lucy on Hughes' roller coaster
Natsu then attacks Hughes, demanding that his comrades be returned. Hughes denies Natsu and uses his weapon, Command Tact, to get Natsu onto a roller coaster which debilitates him. Gray throws Lucy onto the coaster to help Natsu, but the coaster track ends in a small lake. Hughes talks of how awesome Edolas Magic is, and why it couldn't be allowed to run out, which infuriates Natsu, as they are killing Fairy Tail and the Exceeds just for unlimited Magic. He says the important thing is that they are living things, that "These are lives, dammit!" Lucy proceeds to use Aquarius to attack Hughes, but Hughes' control of anything in the park overrides Aquarius' control of the water, and he collapses a large amount of water on Natsu, Lucy, and Aquarius.
Natsu's Fury
The two are washed into the Monster Academy. Natsu finds Lucy inside a coffin that can change ones clothes, so he devises a plan to have Lucy distract Hughes with a sexy bikini, which ultimately fails. Hughes controls the monster dolls into attacking them, driving Lucy away from Natsu. As Natsu is getting beat up by the monsters, he becomes enraged and the form of a dragon could be seen in his smoke and fire, causing Hughes and his monster army to back away in fear. He is seen later punching Hughes through the Monster Academy sign, knocking out Byro at the same time.
Natsu fights the Edolas Royal Army.
Natsu later meets up with Lucy, and when Coco tries to give them a key to the king's plan, he is surprised, but is then caught off guard when Sugarboy glides past them and steals the key. After going after and defeating Sugarboy, Gray catches up with Natsu. When he catches up, Natsu is a little surprised to see the key destroyed, but then learns that Gray can create a replica and that they can use it to turn everyone back to normal. Shortly after, Erza Knightwalker (actually Erza Scarlet in disguise) shows up and captures them. He is later seen seemingly unconscious and tied up, being taken by Erza past a gate to where the cannon is. Erza tells Gray to create a duplicate of the key; they were secretly trying to hit the lacrima with the cannon, but when the plan failed (because of Gray not knowing how to use the cannon), Erza tells Natsu to move, knocking out some of the soldiers, taking the king as hostage, and ordering the soldiers to change the target of the cannon to the lacrima itself. Erza Knightwalker appears from above and attacks Erza, releasing the king and returning the cannon to its original target. When firing the cannon, Lucy arrives with Coco on a Region to take everyone to Extalia and stop the lacrima.
Natsu defends Wendy
When the strength of the Mages was not enough, the entire population of Extalia, including the queen to the surprise of many, come to help and suddenly the lacrima disappears, leaving some smoke and the Mage Mystogan there, who explains that thanks to them, he was able to find an Anima large enough to send the Lacrima back to Earth Land and return everyone to normal. He then reveals himself as the Prince of Edolas who Pantherlily saved many years back. Suddenly, Pantherlily is attacked by Erza Knightwalker, who was going to attack the Exceeds with a group of soldiers on Regions. When Mystogan tries to stop Erza Knightwalker, the king appears inside an enormous dragon-like machine called Dorma Anim, which nullifies all external Magic attacks. The king orders the soldiers to capture the Exceeds and then shoots a Magic beam from the Dorma. Mystogan uses the Triple Magic Rune: Mirrored Water, to deflect the attack back to it, but it doesn't have any effect. Dorma Anim shoots again and takes Mystogan down. When the king is about to attack again, the Dorma Anim is suddenly beaten 3 times, revealing Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy, who had decided to take on the king, leaving the rest to deal with the soldiers.
Wendy casts a spell on Natsu and Gajeel while they fight with the Dorma Anim, making them faster and stronger. The king then fires some tracking missiles after Wendy, but Natsu intercepts and destroys them. When the king is about to shoot again, Gajeel hits the missiles before launch but gets hit by the tail of the Dorma. A group of missiles is fired again, but these ones explode before Natsu can hit them. The king gets surprised when Natsu eats the fire of the explosions while Gajeel starts eating the tail of the Dorma. Suddenly, the Dorma changes color and gains in power, as the king states that he is going to "Drain all the fighting spirits".
Natsu and Dorma Anim
The new form of the Dorma Anim grants it a huge increase in power, turning the tide in the king's favor. Gajeel decides to try some different tactics, revealing that they hadn't been using full power because they didn't know what could happen. All three of them attacked at once with their respective roars, but it had almost no effect. The king proclaims victory, saying that although they have infinite Magic, it takes a while to recharge after it's all used up. Natsu gets up, saying he'll use tomorrow's Magic. Gajeel gets up and pins the Dorma Anim's leg down to the ground, telling Natsu to attack and that he was the only one who could do it. Natsu tells Wendy to aim a roar at him to boost his speed and succeeds in tearing through the Dorma Anim.
The Great Demon-Lord Dragneel
Seeing the islands falling, a tip from Nadi about Mystogan, and Pantherlily's conversation make Natsu decide to dress up and declare himself as the Great Demon-Lord Dragneel. Showing up with his servants and a tied up Faust on the Royal Capital, he declares that he was the one responsible for taking Magic away from Edolas. He commands his servants to destroy the streets of Royal Capital. Mystogan shows up, saying that there's no reason to fight anymore with the king defeated, but Natsu doesn't listen and reveals Mystogan's lineage towards the masses. The Great Demon-Lord then taunts Mystogan to either fight him or he will destroy the whole city. With Mystogan's arrival, Natsu taunts him by demonstrating his Magical power to the powerless prince and the crowd, in order to setup the perfect scenario. Though Mystogan continues to doubt the success of the plan, Natsu doesn't listen and starts a fist brawl against the prince. Knowing that Mystogan was still lacking confidence, he further taunts him to fight seriously, which causes him to receive a kick in the face. As the brawl continues, Natsu begins to tell Mystogan the three rules for leaving the guild as the final departing ritual.
The Dragon Slayers' true farewell to Edolas
With the final rule finished, Natsu falls with a smile, while hoping to see him again one day. With their bodies beginning to glow because of Anima, he, along with Gajeel and Wendy, pretend to be suffering, to further convince the crowd that Prince Jellal has defeated them. As Natsu leaves, Faust tells Natsu he forgot about so many things when he became a king. He then asks if being in a guild is fun. Natsu looks puzzled at first, but then replies with a big smile telling him that they are.[178] When the crowd can no longer see them, they give a bright smile as a sign of good luck.
Lisanna greets Natsu
Afterwards, Natsu and the others cross through the Anima and see that their guild and Magnolia are back to normal. They get another surprise when they see all the Exceeds in Earth Land as well. However, after learning the truth involving the 6 year mission, he bears no grudge against them and they part on good terms. As they are about to head back to Fairy Tail, Pantherlily (in a smaller form) shows up, asking to join their guild. He pulls a suspicious person he caught out from behind a bush. Natsu then gets a major shock when he sees that it is the Edolas Lisanna, and wonders how and why she is in Earth Land. However, he is extremely happy when he figures out that she is, in fact, the Earth Land Lisanna. With this, he helps her back to her siblings for a tearful reunion.
Tenrou Island arcEdit
Natsu and the rest of Fairy Tail celebrate Lisanna's return, and get into a brawl that Natsu and Gajeel cause.[179] Days later, Natsu rushes to the work board to get jobs for the upcoming S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial, and Natsu is chosen by Makarov to be a participant along with Gray, Juvia, Elfman, Cana, Freed, Levy, and Mest Gryder.[180]
E for Erza, of course!
As the participants head towards the island, Makarov arrives to explain the rules of the first trial. After hearing and realizing the boat stopped, Natsu tries to head towards the island first. However, Freed uses a rune on the boat, which prevents everyone from leaving for 5 minutes, though Levy and Gajeel as well as Evergreen and Elfman, are able to rewrite the rune, leaving only 5 teams trapped. As soon as the rune is released, Natsu and Happy fly to the island and Natsu chooses path E, out of the remaining four, since he believed E stood for Erza, whom he wanted to fight.[181] They continue down the E path, Natsu believing he would definitely fight Erza here. The path opens up, revealing Gildarts.[182] Natsu instantly charges to fight Gildarts. Despite numerous attacks, Gildarts easily overpowers Natsu using Hand to Hand Combat. Natsu then tries his Dragon's roar, but Gildarts uses his dis-assembling spell to dissipate the attack; however it hits Natsu as well, and he turns into numerous mini versions of himself.[183]
Natsu cries
Natsu continues fighting even in his chibi form, which impresses Gildarts.[184] Gildarts eventually loses his patience while fighting the mini-Natsus and he turns Natsu back to normal. Realizing that this was his best chance, Natsu uses his strongest attack: The Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blade. But the attack does nothing more than push the crash user back a few feet.[185] Gildarts stops holding back on Natsu and releases his Magic Power that is felt over the entire island, and Natsu bows down to Gildarts in defeat. Gildarts explains that Natsu has learned to face his weaknesses and he lets Natsu pass, and Natsu begins to cry.[186]
Natsu with his scarf turned black
Makarov announces the beginning of the second trial, and Natsu officially challenges Gray, Cana, Levy, and Elfman for the S-Class title, which everyone almost immediately agrees to.[187] With the second trial starting, Natsu and Happy discuss a possible location of Mavis' grave. They decide to check out the top of the island, but along the way, they meet up with Elfman and Evergreen confronting Zeref. Natsu manages to save them by making them duck in time to avoid Zeref's Death Magic. Zeref calls out to Natsu, but he doesn't seem to recognize who he is.[188] Natsu demands that Zeref go away, but When the Killing Mage states that he was anticipating Natsu's arrival, Natsu somehow interprets this declaration as a challenge and rushes towards him and punches him in the face. Zeref feels another wave of Death Magic coming and tells Natsu and the others to run. Natsu realizes his Magic takes away life and tells everyone to run away. As Elfman and Evergreen run, Natsu stays. Natsu emerges okay and realizes the boy has disappeared. Happy then notices Natsu's scarf has turned black, and wonders if Igneel gave him the scarf so he would be protected.[189]
Natsu fighting Grimoire Heart members
When Natsu sees the warning signal sent up by Erza[190] he, along with Happy, start thinking about who is the enemy.[191] Natsu and Happy continue through the forest when they hear a loud noise, thinking they will find enemies there and go towards it. Natsu then sees a column of fire from one of Azuma's attacks and runs towards it, knowing that nobody in Fairy Tail can use that type of Magic.[192] When they arrive, the perpetrator has disappeared and he confronts Mest, whose memory control Magic has worn off. Soon after, the Grimoire Heart members arrive from the bubbles released by Caprico,[193] and he prepares to fight them.[194] He proceeds to defeat most of the members, but Zancrow shows up and incinerates the rest of them for being too weak. Zancrow then launches his flames at Natsu, who tries to consume them before realizing he can't and is heavily wounded. Zancrow then explains to Natsu that he is a God Slayer, and is thus superior.[195]
Natsu shows Makarov that he is perfectly fine
Natsu and Zancrow battle and Zancrow overwhelms Natsu completely. However, Zancrow is held back by Makarov before he can hurt Natsu any further and when Makarov let's Zancrow go, Natsu unites the flames of Dragons and Gods in the Dragon God's Brilliant Flame attack, defeating Zancrow.[196] However Natsu falls over shortly after finishing the battle.[197] Wendy arrives at some point and tries to heal the wounded Makarov and Natsu. However, she can't properly heal Natsu yet, as Makarov notes that the evil staining his muffler is tainting him.[198]
Natsu is ready to stand against Zancrow one more time
Natsu then suddenly wakes up, and his muffler and clothes have been fixed thanks to Wendy. He then perks up as the scent of the man he met on Galuna Island (Zalty) reaches his nose.[199] He head off, and when he reaches the place, Zeref is unconscious, and Ultear had disappeared, feeling Natsu's approximation. Suddenly, a sprout in the ground grew into a giant tree that almost hit Natsu. Then he sees Ultear sitting on the one of branches. Natsu recognizes her as "that one guy", and mildly accuses her as a cross-dresser. Ultear denies this and clarifies that she is assuming her true form; she asks where his future will go. In short dialogue, she reveals that she is the leader of Seven Kin of Purgatory, Ultear Milkovich. Ultear also asks about what plans does Fairy Tail have for Zeref, making Natsu aware of the Killing Mage's identity as Zeref, much to his and Happy's shock, and says that she must repay debt, bearing in mind that Natsu had hit her on Garuna Island. While Natsu tries to climb the tree, and complains that Grimoire Heart appearance had interrupted the exam, she hits him with her orb and he recoils from the tree. After that, she produces many orbs and attacks Natsu with her ability "Flash Forward".[200]
Natsu defends Lucy
Natsu is next seen when he intervenes, when Kain was about to kill Lucy, and kicks him in the face and sends him flying over to Ultear.[201] Natsu asks Lucy what she was doing there, and she asks him the same and thanks him for saving her. Happy remarks that Lucy was sent flying over in their direction rather ungracefully, to which Lucy asks if there was a "cool" way to be sent flying.[202]
Team Natsu reformed for the time being
Lucy then asks Natsu if he had an opponent too, to which he replies that Kain was his opponent and that Lucy couldn't take him. She then says that she wasn't taking him, and that it would be a close fight even for Natsu. Natsu replies that it wouldn't be and that he would take him down. Happy then states that now Natsu had two opponents, and Natsu says that they had added an extra member themselves. He then says that he would put the trial on hold and that they should form a team; Lucy says that it is nostalgic, Happy says that it makes him think of when they first met, and Natsu remarks that he was all fired up. Lucy and Natsu then high-five each other, and then they both remark that they should defeat them.[203]
After Kain agrees to handle Natsu and Lucy by himself and Ultear takes her leave, Lucy warns Natsu that they cannot allow them to leave, but before Natsu hears her, he attempts to attack Ultear and Kain gets in the way. Lucy tries to help, but is under Kain's spell, as he reveals he was capable of taking a string of her hair while chasing her before, and soon takes his revenge by toying with her, putting her to attack Natsu. Natsu is successful in avoiding one of Lucy's attacks and prepares to counterattack, but Lucy's unpredictable movements prove too much for him to avoid. When Kain believes victory is at hand, Happy steals his doll. Kain knocks Happy with one blow and tries to recover his doll, but Natsu takes it instead, trying to counterattack. Kain, however, acts faster and delivers a powerful blow to Natsu, which ends with him crashing and half-buried by rocks. Unable to move on his own, Lucy tries to summon Virgo, but has no more power left and is subsequently captured and tortured by Kain. Natsu asks her to run, but she refuses, prompting Kain to kill Lucy by crushing her head. Before he can do it, Natsu uses the doll to manipulate Lucy's body into a counterattack, in which Kain takes a brutal beating. Further boosting Lucy with his own Dragon Slayer Magic, Natsu gives Happy the doll so that he can use the speed to further power Lucy, finally defeating Kain Hikaru with a brutal kick on the face.[204]
Pulling Natsu out of the rock
Natsu is then seen when Lucy is trying to pull him out of the boulders he had gotten stuck in earlier. Happy asks Natsu to break them with his flames, to which he responds that that is a good idea. Once Natsu is free they look over and notice that Zeref is no longer there, and Natsu remarks that something is getting in the way of his scent. Lucy then raises her leg and says she has to look for Cana, and Natsu asks her why she is raising her leg. She then begins to chase after Happy, who has Mr. Cursey in his hand, and Natsu says that it is time to take a nap. Lucy then says, while bending Happy with Mr. Cursey, that they can't because she's worried about Cana and they must search for Zeref. They then begin to speak on Grimoire Heart's goal and Natsu says that since they had laid a finger on Makarov, they wouldn't leave the island. Lucy then realizes that they must have a ship somewhere anchored on the island and asks Happy to go search for it, but he replies that he is out of Magic Power. Natsu then states that they should get back to where Makarov is resting and that they would have Lily or Carla take care of it.[205]
All those who oppose Fairy Tail are an enemy
He then arrives at the site where Makarov is resting, and when Doranbolt arrives, Natsu asks where he went, and Lucy says that it is Mest of the Council. He then tells Lucy that his name is really Doranbolt. Wendy begins to ask him something, but Doranbolt tells her not to worry because he came there to help them, which surprises Happy and Carla. He then says that with his powers, everyone can leave the island, but Natsu and the others refuse. Despite Mest's attempts to convince them otherwise, they all decide to stay on the island and fight.[206]
Natsu is then seen when he, along with Wendy and Lucy, try to convince Doranbolt to stall the council while they defeat Grimoire Heart.[207] Later, he, along with Wendy, Happy, Carla and Lucy, are confronted and beaten in one blow by Grimoire Heart member Bluenote Stinger.[208] When Cana arrives and fights Bluenote, she asks Natsu to distract him while she builds up Magical power. However, their plan fails when Bluenote uses his Gravity Magic to push them to the ground.[209] As Bluenote is about to kill Cana, Natsu uses his Fire Dragon's Roar on the ground in order to counter Bluenote's Magic and attack him, only to be thrown back. However, Cana uses this as an opening to cast Fairy Glitter, but fails to attack Bluenote when it is parried by the ground.[210]
When Bluenote is about to kill Cana, Gildarts arrives just in time to stop him, much to everyone's relief and delight.[211] After Gildarts' arrival, he orders everyone to get away, and the force from Gildarts and Bluenote clashing sends Natsu and the others flying.[212] After realizing that they'd only be in Gildarts' way, Natsu and the others leave.[213][214] Later, when Azuma destroys the Great Tenrou Tree, Natsu is seen collapsing along with the other members of Fairy Tail.[215]
After Erza defeats Azuma, Natsu, Lucy and Wendy regroup with the rest of the guild at the main camp, and they are shocked that so many are injured.[216] Natsu then resolves to go and defeat Hades, asking for Lucy and Happy to come with him. Wendy and the other Exceed decide to come along. Along the way to Hades, they meet Gray and Erza, telling them that he is always needing to be saved by somebody as well. Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, and Wendy then arrive at Hades' ship, ready to fight.[217] Hades tells them to come when they're ready, and Natsu yells for him to come down there and fight to no avail. He then asks Happy and the other Exceeds to find and destroy the ship's power source, just in case it flies during their fight. Wendy also casts Troia on Natsu as another preventative measure for Natsu's transportation sickness. The group then enters the ship using stairs made by Gray, Natsu being fired up that he can finally fight Hades. Natsu starts the fight and after a barrage of attacks, Hades explains that normal mistakes eventually become experience, but in their case, the mistake of fighting him will lead to them having no future. As he emerges unscathed by their attacks, everyone is shocked and Natsu notes how the level of his magical power has changed.[218]
After Horologium saves Wendy, Hades remarks that Makarov's kids are interesting and Natsu asks if he is an acquaintance of the old man. Hades reveals to them that he was Fairy Tail's second master and nominated Makarov as his successor. Natsu rushes toward him calling him a liar but is then attacked by Hades, resulting in a big explosion. Hades then talks about the origin of the name Fairy Tail and walks to Natsu, saying their journey is about to end. He is angry that he entrusted his will to Makarov as he doesn't like the changes made to the guild in his absense. Natsu says there is nothing wrong with change and that Hades lives like he's already dead, compared to them who are living with their lives on the line. He then says if you don't have the courage to change things, you might as well be dead. Natsu is shot multiple times with Hades' Bullet Magic, and tells Natsu to hate Makarov for causing them to suffer. Natsu says Hades is the old man's rival; this prompts Hades to ready a finishing blow, but lightning strikes this ship and hits his arm before he can attack.[219]
Natsu with Laxus's lightning absorbed.
Laxus appears and asks Natsu if Hades is the old man's rival. Hades is shocked, recognizing Laxus from when he was younger, calling him the brat and is quickly headbutted by Laxus.[220] Natsu watches as Laxus battles Hades on mostly even terms until Laxus is hit by one of Hades explosion attacks. As Hades uses a big attack to finish Laxus, Natsu is given Laxus' lightning. Natsu thanks Laxus for the meal and asks Laxus why he did this, saying he is so much weaker than him. Laxus tells him it's not about being weak or strong and says that someone with the guild's brand should be the one that defeats Hades, unlike him. Laxus tells him to take the pain that was caused to the guild and return it 100 fold. Wendy notices as the flame and lightning are fusing together in Natsu, who proclaims that this is the Lightning Flame Dragon 100 Fold Payback.[221] With Laxus's Magical Power inside him, Natsu seems to overpower Hades with a combination of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic and Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. With his Lightning Fire Dragon's Roar, Hades seems to be defeated.[222] However, Hades recovers from Natsu's attacks, unaffected. He then unleashes his Devil's Eye by removing his eye patch. Having exhausted his Magical Power, Natsu can do nothing but watch as Hades prepares to kill them.[223]
Hades explains that using magic is to sink into darkness and in the deep abyss, there is the "Magic of One." He says he is close to attaining this magic, but the last stretch is the most difficult to reach. He further explains that Zeref's awakening will create "The Great World of Magic" which will allow him to attain the "Magic of One." He then uses Hidden Magic, the Punishers of Heavens: Nemesis which allows him to summon powerful demons from even the lowliest of rocks. Wendy, Erza, Gray, and Lucy are all scared realizing these demons are very strong; Natsu grabs Lucy arm, saying that he's got a comrade right beside him after all. He tells them the words of Gildarts, that fear isn't evil but that it allows them to learn their own weaknesses. He says that when learning their own weakness, they can grow stronger and kinder; now that they've learned their weakness, he says they need to grow stronger now and face their enemies head on. He says that alone, the fear they have might be too much to bear, but they're all beside each other. He yells that there is nothing to fear since they're not alone. Hades says Natsu's words are empty and that he will end them. Everyone resolves to not give up despite not having any magic power, and they rush to attack Hades. Hades asks them what they can do with such a small amount of power, and then, he orders his demons to dance. Natsu trips while running to battle, but Lucy and Wendy grab him and throw him forward. Gray and Erza then kick Natsu further forward, allowing Natsu to close in on Hades. A big explosion then occurs on Hades ship.[224]
After the explosion, Natsu was able to punch Hades in the face. Hades says this is impossible and wonders how his dark magic had no effect. He realizes his magic is gone as Natsu punches him again. Hades realizes his heart was destroyed, which was done by Happy and Carla. Back on Tenrou Island, Rustyrose says that the heart was the secret to Hades' great magic and longevity, the "Devil's Heart." Natsu attacks Hades more with big barrage of kicks and punches. After Ultear has fully restored Tenrou Island, Natsu and everyone gets their magic power returned. After more attacks on Hades, Natsu declares that this their victory; however, Hades pushes Natsu back saying that the devil will not sleep until he has defeated them. Laxus then punches Hades in the face and tells Fairy Tail to attack now. Lucy uses Capricorn, Wendy uses the Heavenly Dragon's Wing Attack, Gray uses Ice Bringer and Erza uses Tenrin - Pentagram Sword to attack Hades. Natsu then attacks, first with the Wave Dragon's Special Technique Revision, then with Crimson Explosion Lightning Blade. Hades is apparently defeated by this, and Natsu yells as "This is our guild!" as the sun rises on Tenrou Island.[225] The battle ends and the Exceed finally arrive while being chased by Grimore Heart members. Natsu and the others have already run out of Magic, but then the members in the camp come to the rescue. While the others are enjoying their reunion, Natsu is seen being fired up to continue the exam. He is reminded by Gajeel that he has severe wounds, but he says that he still has his newly acquired lightning-enhanced powers... Before collapsing to the ground, exhausted. Erza comments it's because he ate something other than fire.
After the war is over, Natsu rests at the camps base with the rest of his guild mates. The rest is cut short when Acnologia arrives and starts attacking the guild members. Makarov uses his Titan Magic to hold off the Dragon, and tells the guild to run and heed his final order. Natsu along with the others try to protest, but when he is grabbed by Laxus and sees the tear in his eye he agrees.
Ignoring Laxus's protest, Natsu goes back and fights Acnologia, along with the rest of the guild who follows him. As Fairy Tail is fighting, a mysterious girl watches with a smile and clasps her hands. Acnologia eventually flies into the sky, and preapares to destroy the island with one final attack. All the Fairy Tail members on the island hold hands, as Tenrou Island is destroyed by the Acnologia's Dragon Breath.[226]
X791 arcEdit
Natsu returns with the other members of Fairy Tail
Once Tenrou Island reappears, the new Fairy Tail Guild finds Natsu buried in some dirt.[227] Natsu who wakes up, suprised to see them there and confused about how much Jet and Droy have aged. He says that they were hit by Acnologia's attack and then wonders where everyone else is, and Natsu watches as Mavis reveals that she was the one who saved them using Fairy Sphere. Natsu and the others then return to the Fairy Tail Guild, and as Romeo is about to be attacked by Teebo and his gang, Natsu kicks Teebo across the room. He is then seen along with all of the other Fairy Tail members who were lost 7 years ago and says that we're home. Natsu sees Romeo and says he's all grown up. Romeo cries in happiness and welcomes back Natsu and everyone.[228]
At the party celebrating their return, Natsu is impressed by Romeo's new Fire Magic abilities. Romeo reveals to Natsu he had been taking classes from Totomaru. Natsu asks to come, but Romeo says it would be best not to, as Totomaru still holds a grudge against Natsu.[229] Later on, after Natsu and Happy realize they have no savings at their house, they follow Lucy to see her father, hoping he would lend them something. When they arrive at Love & Lucky, and Lucy asks to see her father, they are informed that Mr. Heartfilia had died one month ago.[230]
Magic and AbilitiesEdit
Fire Dragon's Roar
Fire Dragon Slayer Magic (火の滅竜魔法 Ka no Metsuryū Mahō): He is adept with his Dragon Slayer Magic and makes use of it in many different ways in combat.[231][232][233] As with all Dragon Slayers, he can consume his respective element, with the exception of that which he has created, to replenish his energy reserves. The heat of his fire can increase in temperature, which is proportional to Natsu's emotional state. Natsu subconsciously used this against Erigor; his flame's heat significantly rose as he got more enraged. This is also called the Flame of Emotion.[234] He incorporates the flames he ignites into his fighting style, greatly increasing the damage of his blows.[235] As such, Natsu's Magic revolves around the usage of fire that can spout from any part of his body.[236][237] Natsu's ability to eat flames gives him immunity to most types of flames and allows him to spew fire from his lungs.[238] This fire is exceptionally strong - equivalent to a dragon's fire - being able to burn even through metal.[239] He can even use his flames to create a propulsive effect.[240] The type of fire he uses can be changed. For example, it can be solidified to cling to surfaces.[241]
Fire Dragon's Roar (火竜の咆哮 Karyū no Hōkō): Natsu breathes a long line of fire that becomes a large fireball, which burns his opponent.[242]
Fire Dragon's Claw (火竜の鉤爪 Karyū no Kagitsume): Natsu ignites his feet with a very large flame to increase the power of his kicks. He can also use the strong ensuing flames to jet-propel him in any direction he wishes.
Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (火竜の鉄拳 Karyū no Tekken): Natsu engulfs his fist in large flames and punches his opponent which makes his opponent fly away.[243] Natsu renamed this ability Cat Fire (猫ファイアーNeko Faiā) while wearing cat mask.
Fire Dragon's Wing Attack (火竜の翼撃 Karyū no Yokugeki): Natsu takes hold of his opponent and ignites his arms and hands on fire, in the form of dragon wings as support, to throw them far away while burning them.[244]
Fire Dragon's Sword Horn (火竜の剣角 Karyū no Kenkaku): Natsu ignites his entire body on fire in order to ram into his opponent at full speed, then launch them high into the air with his large horn of fire.
Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame (火竜の煌炎 Karyū no Kōen): Natsu creates fire on both hands, and brings them together, creating a giant explosion that destroys everything around him. In the anime, he ignites both of his hands and combines the flame, but instead of creating a giant explosion, he throws a very large fireball at his enemy, blowing them away.
Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow (火竜の炎肘 Karyū no Enchū): After Natsu ignites the tip of his elbow, he uses that flame to strengthen his fist, and rocket the opponent high in the air.
Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang (火竜の砕牙 Karyū no Saiga): With his hand ignited with a large flame, he gouges his hand into his enemy and quickly swipes his enemy away from his sight.
Dragon Slayer's Secret Art (滅竜奥義 Metsu Ryū Ōgi):
Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist
Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist (紅蓮・火竜拳 Guren Karyū Ken): Lighting his hands on fire, Natsu rapidly punches his opponent. Each punch causes a fiery explosion. This attack was used to defeat Gajeel, the Dragon Slayer that uses iron, and as an added result, had enough destructive power to destroy the entire guild building of Phantom Lord. In the anime, Natsu defeated Erigor with it in battle.
Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade
Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade (紅蓮・爆炎刃 Guren Bakuenjin): After a series of destructive attacks, Natsu finishes with a torrent of blade-shaped flames that strikes the enemy in a spiral formation. Every time the enemy is hit with a blade, it explodes and burns the enemy. Described as the ultimate Dragon Slayer technique, this attack is so powerful and destructive that it has been shown to smash through dragon scales ---- which is known to have extremely tremendous endurance capabilities. This attack was used to defeat Laxus, the Dragon Slayer that uses Lightning, and even caused Gildarts to take two steps back.
Hidden Fire Form: Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Sword
Hidden Fire Form - Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade
("不知火型" - 紅蓮・鳳凰剣 "Shiranui Gata" : Guren Hōō Ken): Natsu ignites his entire body with the power of the Flame of Rebuke. He then charges towards the enemy and delivers a devastating punch that blows up the enemy, then proceeds to headbutt him. This is also described as The Ultimate Dragon Slayer Technique and the Dragon Slayer's Hidden Art, Sea Fire Style. This could be Natsu's strongest attack, as not even Flame Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade was able to defeat Zero's strongest attack, though this may be because Exploding Flame Blade focuses on piercing penetration instead of mass destructive damage. This unstoppable and destructive attack was used to defeat Zero.
Dragon God´s Brilliant Flame
Dragon God's Brilliant Flame (竜神の煌炎 Ryūjin no Kōen): The same as the Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame, but on a much larger scale. Natsu summons flames on both fists just like the original technique, but combines Fire Dragon's flames on his right hand with Fire God flames on his left hand. The moment he brings them together, he creates a giant explosion powerful enough to destroy the surrounding area and blow the enemy a major distance away. Used to defeat Zancrow.
Lightning Flame Dragon Mode
Lightning Flame Dragon Mode: After eating Laxus Dreyar's lightning and having the flame and lightning inside his body fused together, Natsu gained the ability to use his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic enhanced with lightning.[245] Even though it was momentary, Natsu is able to call upon it when he is in a state of anger. Using this puts a heavy strain on his body.[246]
Lightning Flame Dragon's Roar: An alternate, enhanced version of the Fire Dragon's Roar, performed when the user has been empowered with lightning. He/she combines such lightning with his/her fire, gathering them within his/her mouth and subsequenly releasing them towards the opponent. This generates an extremely large and destructive sparking blast, which produces an immense amount of light and is capable of travelling for great distances, wreaking havok wherever it passes, as shown when it crossed the distance of half Tenrou Island generating a large explosion. This spell leaves a huge strain on the user's body.
Lightning Flame Dragon's Fist: An alternate version of Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. After having been empowered by lightning, user creates a sphere of such element around his/her fist and uses it to strike the target, electrocuting and damaging them. While empowered by Laxus Dreyar's Lightning Magic, Natsu Dragneel has been noted to combine the flames from his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic with the lightning inside his body, allowing him to punch the opponent with fire and consecutively have a lightning bolt strike them.
Lightning Flame Dragon's Brilliant Flame: An alternate, more powerful version of Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame. User, after having been enhanced by lightning, creates a certain amount of such lightning on his/her left hand, and combines it with the flames he/she produces on his/her right hand. Their contact generates a very large, sparking explosion around the targeted enemy.
Dragon Slayer's Secret Art (滅竜奥義 Metsu Ryū Ōgi):
Crimson Lotus: Exploding Lightning Blade: An enhanced version of Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade, the spell was used by Natsu Dragneel to defeat Hades, empowered by Laxus Dreyar's Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. After having consumed lightning, the user engulfs one hand with the said lightning and the other with flames from his/her Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Then, by swinging his/her arms around, he/she extends such elements in length, creating a vortex of fire and lightning which greatly damages the opponent and pushes them away from the user with great force.
Dragon Force (ドラゴンフォース Doragon Fōsu): By consuming Etherion and the Flame of Rebuke respectively, Natsu achieved Dragon Force. This Magic is said to be the final and most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain in which the user's body turns into that of a dragon. Their Magic Aura becomes visible and their Dragon Slayer powers increase tremendously.
Transformation (変身魔法 Henshin Mahō): Natsu has mastered the rudimentary skills of Transformation Magic. He was able to transform into Lucy successfully on his first try.
Fire Dragon Slayer Doll
Ushi no Koku Mairi (丑刻の参り Ushikoku no Sanri): During his fight with Kain Hikaru, Natsu briefly gained possession of Kain's doll, Mr. Cursey, and utilized its abilities.
Fire Dragon Slayer Doll: Natsu uses his Fire Dragon Slayer techniques and ignites Mr. Cursey with a Lucy hair. The fire appears on Lucy causing no harm to her and granting her the ability to use it at her advantage.[247] (Unnamed)
Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (Lucy Version): While using Fire Dragon Slayer Doll, Lucy, under Natsu's control, punches her opponent with great force. (Unnamed)
Secret Attack: Lucy Fire (必殺・ルーシィファイア Hissatsu : Rūshi Faia): While being controlled with Mr. Cursey and after Natsu has ignited her, Happy uses Max Speed to make her whole body catch on fire and accelerate, culminating in an extremely fast fire-enhanced attack on the enemy.[248]
Enhanced Smell: Natsu has a very keen sense of smell. His nose is so sharp that just by being around Kaby he could tell that he was poor, despite the fact that he was using his friends' mansion to try to trick Team Natsu into believing he was rich.[249] He also was able track Ultear despite the distance between them.[250]
Enhanced Strength: Natsu has shown on numerous occasions to possess an incredible degree of strength, enough for him to commit feats such as stopping the gargantuan Dorma Anim's foot, which was going to stomp on him and his fellow Dragon Slayers, all by himself, subsequenly throwing the robotic dragon off balance by rapidly pushing it away.[251]
Immense Durability: Natsu has shown himself to have incredible durability. He managed to take continual, deadly assaults which would have killed a normal human from powerful enemies in most of his fights, and, despite this, to still stand up to fight, and eventually obtain the victory: such astonishing resistance was first shown during his battle with Erigor, in which, no matter how many times Natsu got hit by his opponent's bursts of cutting wind, he still managed to defeat him.[252] Also, during his fight with Cobra, Natsu displayed a natural resistance against the Oración Seis' member's poison, described as lethal and corrosive.
Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: Natsu is an extremely proficient unarmed fighter, often using his Dragon Slayer Magic in combination with punches, kicks, and even headbutts to combat his opponents to great effect.[253] Such skill is paired with amazing physical prowess: aside from his strength, Natsu has displayed high degrees of speed, agility and reflexes, enough for him to match melee-specialists of Erza's calibre in battle.
EquipmentEdit
Sealed Flame Blade
Sealed Flame Blade: When Natsu couldn't use his Dragon Slayer Magic in Edolas, he fought using an Edolas form of Magic in the form of a destructive flame blade. However, the blade was depleted after one use due to Natsu's lack of skill with it and his usual excessive nature when he fights.[254] (Formerly)
Igneel's Scarf: It is a scarf given to Natsu by Igneel; Natsu always wears it to remember him.[2] It is a white scarf that has scales on it. It is something similar to a charm that protects Natsu from harm. It protected Natsu from Zeref's Death Magic, but the exposure to the death Magic turned it black.[255] During the time when it was tainted, Wendy was unable to heal Natsu. In order to heal him, she had to reverse and remove the tainted evil within the scarf.[256]

Natsu Dragneel (ナツ・ドラグニル Natsu Doragoniru) is a Fire Dragon Slayer, a member of Fairy Tail, and the leader of Team Natsu. He is the main male protagonist of Fairy Tail.[1]
Contents [show]
AppearanceEdit
Natsu's new outfit in X791
Natsu is a lean, well-built young man of average height with light tan skin, black eyes, and spiky rose-colored hair. He always wears a scarf that is detailed with white scales, given to Natsu by his adoptive father, Igneel.[2] Natsu has a scar on the right side of his neck that is visible in the few instances he does not wear his scarf.[3] His red member's stamp is located at the top of his right arm, just below his shoulder.
Natsu's outfit mainly consists of a black waistcoat with gold trimmings over his chest with no shirt underneath, short white trousers that go down to his knees, and a wide black wristband on his left wrist and sandals along with his scarf. He has also been known to wear a rolled up comforter strapped across his back, though he rarely carries it in battle.
PersonalityEdit
Natsu is a carefree and reckless in nature and, despite his constant brawls with the other members of the guild, is a fiercely loyal and protective friend. He thinks things through in a straightforward manner that usually involves taking things "head on". Even when faced with obvious hostility or previous grudges, he rarely holds a grudge or negative feelings towards an enemy, usually seeing the good in them. He does, however, hold a grudge against Jellal Fernandes for some time, but eventually forgives him and comes to consider him an ally.[4] He has also been shown to occasionally feel compassion for his enemies, such as when Cobra was betrayed by Brain.
Natsu constantly tries to prove his strength to others. He has challenged both Erza [5] and Laxus to fight him in the past, only to be defeated both times. However, he holds no grudge against them as he considers any member of his guild to be his friend, even in Laxus's case when he threatens the lives of his own guildmates. Due to his reckless nature, any fight Natsu involves himself in usually ends with widespread destruction. His continuous desire to fight causes Natsu to develop great wit in battle, quickly identifying his opponent's weaknesses and forming strategies to block the plans of his enemies. At times, he even defeats enemies with just his wit and trickery without throwing a punch, such as during the Galuna Island arc against Toby.[6] Natsu also seems to be very stubborn, hardly ever admitting defeat.
During the time of Lisanna's supposed death and disappearance, Natsu would get extremely upset whenever anyone carelessly brings up her name. Because of this, no one in Fairy Tail mentions her to him out of respect for his feelings.[7] This, of course, changes after Lisanna is discovered to be alive and returns from Edolas.
He suffers from motion sickness from all modes of transportation, including trains, boats, and carriages. It is to the degree that he can get sick from simply looking at a mode of transport or thinking about it,[8] and even when he is carried by another person. The only "transportation" that Natsu can freely travel on and not get sick is being carried by Happy.[9]
HistoryEdit
Little Natsu left by Igneel
Natsu was found as a baby by Igneel, a powerful Fire Dragon whom Natsu called his "father". Igneel raised him and taught him how to talk, write, and use a form of Lost Magic known as Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. On July 7, X777, however, Igneel mysteriously disappeared,[10] leading Natsu to set out in search of him. He was eventually found by Makarov Dreyar, the master of the Fairy Tail guild, where he became a member and formed a close, sibling-like rivalry with Gray Fullbuster and Erza Scarlet.
Natsu with Lisanna, watching over their "dragon" egg.
One day, Natsu found an egg in the forest east of Magnolia Town. Assuming it to be a dragon egg, Natsu took it to the guild and asked Makarov to make it hatch, but Makarov and Erza taught him that only Natsu could do it by watching over and caring for it.[11] Lisanna offered to help Natsu to raise the egg until it hatched, which Natsu accepted happily.[12] The two built a shack out of straw in the park to keep the egg warm, developing a very close friendship in the process.
Natsu with... Happy/Dragon?
The next morning, Natsu discovered that the egg had disappeared and assumed that someone had stolen it. After Natsu argued with everyone in the guild and fought with Mirajane over the egg, Elfman appeared with the egg and confessed he wanted to help Natsu and Lisanna raise it, but was too embarrassed to ask. Suddenly, the egg hatched and, to everyone's shock, a blue cat with wings was born. Because everyone stopped arguing and became happy upon the cat's birth, Natsu named him Happy.[13]
A few years later, Lisanna left together with her siblings to go on an S-Class job to hunt a giant monster called "The Beast". Natsu wanted to go, but Elfman opposed as he felt he should be the one to care for his family. While on this mission, Lisanna was supposedly killed accidentally by Elfman after he lost control of himself while attempting to take over the monster. Though Natsu forgave Elfman, he was greatly saddened by the event.
SynopsisEdit
Macao arcEdit
Natsu's motion sickness
Natsu receives a tip from Krov that a "Salamander" had been spotted in Hargeon Town.[14] Convinced that the "Salamander" is Igneel, Natsu and Happy travel to Hargeon by train, but are sidetracked when Natsu passes out on the train and is forced to ride it a second time around.[15] After finally getting off the train, the two stumble across a crowd of lovestruck young women eagerly shouting the name "Salamander." Excited, Natsu breaks into the crowd but, rather than seeing a dragon, instead meets a narcissistic fire mage claiming to be named Salamander. Downtrodden that the "salamander" wasn't Igneel after all, Natsu rejects an autograph from the imposter, causing the mage's legion of female fans to attack Natsu and drive him away.[16]
"Salamander" tries to give Natsu his autograph
Through these antics, he saves a traveling mage, Lucy Heartfilia, from the influence of "Salamander's" illegal Charm magic, which he used to infatuate the crowd of girls. Out of appreciation, Lucy pays a meal for him and Happy, and rambles on about her ambition to join a famous guild. During the conversation, they reveal their search for Igneel in town. They are taken aback when Lucy points out a dragon would never be found in the middle of town, as this had not previously dawned on them before. Lucy leaves the two to finish their meal, but Natsu and Happy are so grateful for her random act of kindness that they feel indebted to her since they hadn't meant to help her in the first place. Natsu offers Lucy the autograph "Salamander" gave him, but she immediately refuses it, and they part ways.[17]
Natsu literally crashes the party
Later that night, Natsu overhears that "Salamander" is supposedly a member of Fairy Tail. Natsu immediately becomes suspicious and quite literally gatecrashes the party on the mage's ship, discovering Lucy to be on board as "Salamander" had tricked her into thinking he could get her into Fairy Tail. The ship's rocking motion immediately takes its toll on Natsu, leaving him defenseless against Salamander's crew.[18] After being rescued by Happy, Lucy summons the celestial spirit Aquarius, whose powerful water magic washes the boat and everyone on it ashore.[19]
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy running from Rune Knights
With the ship on dry land and its rocking motion gone, Natsu regains his vitality and confronts "Salamander," declaring himself to be a member of Fairy Tail and exposing the fire mage as an imposter member. Though one of the impostor's crew members reveals his name to be Bora, Natsu shows no interest in his identity and is only concerned with his attempts to tarnish Fairy Tail's name. Their fight is short as Natsu easily decimates Bora and his crew, destroying a majority of Hargeon's port in the process.[20] The fight attracks the attention of the Rune Knights, prompting him and Happy to flee with Lucy in tow. Lucy is initially chagrined, but Natsu, now knowing that Lucy wants to join Fairy Tail, invites her to join his guild, which she happily accepts.[21]
Natsu starting a fight in the guild
Upon returning to the guild in Magnolia Town with Lucy, Natsu angrily attacks Krov for giving him false information on the "Salamander,"[14] starting a fight which swiftly evolves into a full-scale brawl. The unruly mages are stopped by Makarov, who reads out loud to them a list of various complaints from the Magic Council about the guild members, including (but far from limited to) Natsu's destruction of Hargeon's port.[22] However, Makarov ultimately disregards the documented complaints and sets them aflame, giving his guild an inspiring speech (and giving the burning documents to Natsu as a snack).[23]
After feasting on a fiery meal, Natsu goes up to the guild's job request board to find work for food money.[24] While picking out a job, Natsu overhears Romeo Conbolt, son of Fairy Tail's Macao Conbolt, complaining to Makarov over how his father has not yet returned from his job in Hakobe Mountain to slay Vulcans. Empathizing with Romeo's troubles, Natsu leaves together with Happy to find Macao.[25] The two are accompanied by Lucy, now an official member of Fairy Tail. The three reach the snowstorm-ravaged mountain where they are attacked by a Vulcan, which notices Lucy and whisks her away to its cavern lair at the peak of the mountain.[26]
Natsu and Lucy bring Macao home
Reasoning that this particular Vulcan is responsible for Macao's disappearance, Natsu chases the Vulcan to its lair and demands to know where it has hidden Macao. However, the Vulcan tricks Natsu into coming near a hole in the cavern wall and pushes him out of it, sending him plummeting off the side of the mountain.[27] Fortunately, Happy rescues him. Once back inside the cave, Natsu sees Lucy fighting the Vulcan using her celestial spirit Taurus and, mistaking the bull spirit to be another monster, sends him flying.[28] He soon defeats the Vulcan, who is then revealed to actually be Macao, having been taken over by the Vulcan. Natsu's attack causes Macao to fall out another hole through the wall, but Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Taurus manage to pull him to safety.[29] They find Macao to be seriously wounded, having fought nineteen Vulcans before being taken over by the twentieth. Natsu saves his life by burning the wound shut,[30] and returns to Magnolia with his friends to reunite Macao with Romeo.[31]
Daybreak arcEdit
Team Natsu is formed
After Lucy gets settled into her new home, she finds that Natsu and Happy have shamelessly invaded it.[32] While she scolds them, Happy sharpens his nails on the wall, distracting her from Natsu who peeks at her bundle of sheets. She dives for them, keeping them away from Natsu, and demands that they leave, to which Natsu refuses. Giving up, she offers the two a cup of tea and teaches them a little about Celestial Spirits.[33] For a demonstration on contracting with Celestial Spirits, Lucy summons the Canis Minor Nikora, which she named Plue. She shows them the procedures that Celestial Wizards go through to contract with Celestial Spirits, telling them that she doesn't break promises. Plue suggests that they form a team, to which Natsu agrees to, and in turn, Lucy does.[34] Their first mission is to steal a book which involves the book's owner hiring a blond maid. Using the Celestial Wizard's words against her, Natsu gets Lucy to join him in the job which makes Lucy think Natsu had prepared for it from the beginning.[35]
Natsu heading towards Everlue Mansion.
When they arrive in Shirostume town, Natsu recommends they go to eat before their mission whilst Lucy went off elsewhere, declining his offer.[36] Natsu and Happy are shocked to find that when she returns, she is adorned in a maid outfit when they had only been joking about it.[37] Regardless, they make their way to the client's house, where Kaby Melon details their mission and stuns the three of them with the announcement that the reward had increased ten times in value.[38] Impassioned, they head towards the mansion where Lucy is interviewed for the maid position by Duke Everlue.
Natsu finds Daybreak
After she is rejected for being too "ugly", they resolve to sneak into the mansion by having Happy fly them to the roof and Natsu melt a window to let them in.[39][40] Quietly, they move around the mansion until they are confronted by Everlue's other maids who Natsu instantly deals with. They then discovered the library and after a quick search, Natsu locates the book DAYBREAK. Natsu was about to burn it when Lucy snatches it from his grasp as she saw it was a book by the famous author, Kemu Zaleon, and begged for him to let her keep it.[41]
Natsu and Lucy are confronted by Everlue
Just then, Everlue literally dives up from the ground, having previously held back to see what they had been up to, and calls on the Vanish Brothers to deal with them. However, Lucy declares that there was a secret in the book and runs off, asking Natsu to buy her some time. Everlue goes after her, interested about the secret, and Natsu tells Happy to follow them while he dealt with the brothers.[42]
Natsu fights the Vanish Brothers
After a brief fight with the Vanish Brothers, Natsu quickly defeats the brothers and grabs the head maid when she begins to move.[43] Consequently, when Everlue summons this head maid, who is actually the Celestial Spirit Virgo, he is pulled through the Celestial Spirit world back to the Human world. Lucy shouts for him to deal with Virgo while she defeats Everlue. He complies, delivering her a powerful blow.[44]
Natsu defeats Virgo
Lucy makes them return the book to the client where he found out the truth about the book, and to whom the book was meant for; the group decides not to take payment for the job (much to Lucy's dismay) since they didn't specifically complete what was asked for: "destroy the book".[45] They begin to return, with Natsu realizing that Lucy's earlier protectiveness was because the bundle of sheets was a novel she was creating, explaining her knowledge of books. She shouts at him to not tell anyone.[46]
Lullaby arcEdit
Natsu and Gray bicker behind Erza's back
Natsu returns to the guild and gets into another fight with Gray, but Loke warns them that Erza has returned from her mission and they comically pretend to be good friends. Much to their dismay, Erza forces Natsu and Gray to go on a mission with her.[47] When Erza finally arrives at the train station, Natsu issues her an agreement that he would only go if she agreed to fight him when they returned, to which she agrees. On the train, Natsu gets his usual motion sickness and Erza, in an attempt to make him feel better, knocks him out.[48]
Natsu attacks Kageyama when the train stops
The other members start to discuss their mission, but in the process, forget to wake up Natsu when they leave, leaving him on the train.[49] Kageyama, a member of the Dark Guild Eisenwald that the group was discussing earlier, tries to start a conversation with him. However, Kageyama attacks him and the two get into a fight with Natsu quickly getting the upper hand when the train stops. During their fight, he notices the Lullaby flute, and before the train starts to move again, jumps out of the train's window and into a Magic four-wheel vehicle driven by Erza.[50][51]
They return to the train station via the vehicle, causing Natsu to get motion sickness again, and requiring the assistance of Lucy (who is considered transport by Natsu) to drag him to the station.[52] Although denied entry, they enter anyway and are confronted by the members of Eisenwald at the station platform. Upon hearing Kageyama's voice, Natsu revives and saves Lucy from being harmed by one of Kageyama's attacks.[53] Erza then orders him and Gray to go after Erigor, and the two agree to split up to find him.[54]
Kageyama sneaking up behind Natsu
As Natsu searches, he starts destroying the walls to find him, despite the fact that doors were right next to him.[55] Kageyama sneaks up bhind him and attacks him and after they exchange a few blows, he quickly overwhelms him and questions him on the whereabouts of Erigor, just as Erza and company arrive to question him on how to dispel the barrier of wind around the station. However, to everyone's surprise, Kageyama is suddenly stabbed in the back by one of his allies and Natsu, in rage, attacks the assassin and tries to avenge Kageyama.[56][57]
Natsu defeats Erigor
Team Natsu is then freed from the wind wall by Lucy's new Celestial Spirit Virgo, who apologizes to Natsu for her previous fight with him and he quickly forgives her.[58] Natsu then uses Happy's maximum speed to chase after Erigor.[59] After he runs into him, he proves himself powerful enough for Erigor to evoke his Storm Mail spell. As the wind armor causes Natsu's fire to be put out and stops him from punching Erigor, Natsu becomes angry to the point of heating his flames using his emotions. Happy notices the effects of the superheated fire on Erigor's Storm Mail and provokes Natsu to increase his fire's heat by appealing to his sense of rivalry with Gray. This sends Natsu into a rage, and he is able to defeat Erigor.[60][61]
Fairy Tail running away
When the others arrive, Kageyama steals the Lullaby flute and goes to the Guild Masters' meeting.[62] The team quickly follows and are stopped from saving Makarov by the other Guild Masters, while Makarov convinces Kageyama to give up.[63] Since Kageyama refused to play the flute and finish off Makarov, the flute turns into a huge beast.[64] Seeing this, Natsu teams up with Gray and Erza to take it down.[65] Unfortunately, the team destroys the Guild Masters' meeting place in the process.[66] When the Guild Masters see this they turn around they see that Fairy Tail was already running away except for Natsu who offered to help chase his teammates unaware that he was being chased as well.[67]
Galuna Island arcEdit
Natsu fighting Erza
True to her word, Erza begins her fight with Natsu, but just as it warms up, Erza is arrested for property damage amongst other crimes.[68] To prevent him from recklessly going after Erza, Natsu is literally transformed into a salamander and stuck under a glass.[69] However, it is revealed that it was actually Macao who had transformed himself to give time for Natsu to smash into Erza's court hearing, crudely dressed as her, and proclaim that he is actually Erza which results in them both being imprisoned for a short time.[70]
Natsu knocks out Gray
Due to Erza's arrest being a mere formality, Natsu and Erza are soon released.[71] Natsu once again tries to fight Erza, but is swiftly defeated with one blow.[72] Natsu then tries to pick a fight with Laxus Dreyar, but is prevented from doing so by Makarov, who says he isn't allowed up to the second floor "yet".[73] Later on, Natsu breaks into Lucy's apartment, much to her annoyance, and tries to persuade her to go on a S-class mission, 'The Cursed Island', with him and Happy.[74] She initially refuses but then agrees when she notices that the award includes a Golden Key.[75] Unable to find someone to ferry them across, Natsu falls on the idea of swimming to the island, but is soon stopped when Gray appears. Just as they begin to fight, one of the sailors who had previously refused, notices their Magic and agrees to sail them across. Natsu then quickly knocks Gray out and drags him onto the boat.[76] The sailor leading then suddenly disappears, just before a tidal wave shipwrecks them on the island's shore.[77]
Gray and Natsu keep attacking the giant mouse
With Gray now agreeing to help them, they go to their client, the mayor of the island, to find out about the curse affecting the inhabitants.[78] Initially asked to do the impossible task of destroying the moon, they resolve to explore the island the next morning.[79][80] In the forest they are confronted by a gigantic mouse, which they quickly defeat, and find a ruined temple.[81] Natsu then stamps on the floor of the temple which causes it to crumble apart, and sends them hurtling down into a large cavern.[82] The cavern contains a frozen demon Deliora, and the Mages Yuka Suzuki, Sherry, and Toby. Gray tells them that they are going to stay put until the moon comes back out and Natsu instinctively falls asleep at this piece of news.[83][84] Night soon arrives, and they discover that the purple moonlight is hitting the frozen Deliora; they run up the surface to investigate and discover a ritual to free Deliora.[83]
Natsu carrying Gray back to the village
Natsu, enraged by Lyon Bastia's command to Toby and the others to destroy the village, jumps out from hiding and attacks, but is quickly stopped by Lyon's ice Magic and pushed down a hill by Gray.[85] Natsu returns back up the hill to find a beaten up Gray, and carries him back to the village.[86] When he arrives at the village, he falls into the trap that Lucy had previously placed for Lyon and his Mages.[87] The village is then attacked by Lyon's Mages who use poison jelly to try kill everyone, but Natsu destroys a large amount of the poison with his Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame attack, and sends the rest to the outer skirts of the village.[88] Natsu and Lucy are then confronted by Sherri, Yuka and Toby.[89] After Sherri and Angelica leave to destroy the villagers, Lucy accidently grabs onto Angelica and leaves Natsu to fight Yuka and Toby.[90] When Happy decides to go check on Lucy to make sure she’s okay, Natsu remarks that that’s fine and that he would take care of these two, and after a brief battle, he defeats Yuka and tricks Toby into poisoning himself.[91][92]
Natsu stops Gray from killing himself
The next day, Erza arrives and Natsu reappears alone, going into the temple from earlier.[93] After he goes into the ruins, he begins breaking them to try tilting the temple so the moonlight wouldn't reach Deliora.[94] He then starts to fight Lyon, but midway through is interrupted by Gray, who tells him that he'll fight Lyon instead.[95][96] Gray attempts to use the powerful spell Iced Shell to kill both himself and Lyon, but is stopped by a punch to the face by Natsu.[97] Enraged at being ignored by Zalty, he chases after him and falls into another fight.[98]
Natsu defeats Zalty
Their battle leads into Deliora's cavern, where Natsu is shocked to find that Deliora's frozen prison is melting.[99] Natsu eventually finds a way around Zalty's Arc of Time Magic and punches him away just as the ritual for Deliora's revival is complete.[100] However, it is then revealed that Deliora had actually been long dead.[101]
Natsu is dragged off by Erza to receive his punishment.
They then realize, thanks to Erza, that the ritual had nothing to do with the villager's demonic transformations, but that it was instead excess Moon Drip Magic creating a barrier around the island, making the moon look purple and making the villagers forget that their demonic appearance was actually their true appearance.[102]
Phantom Lord arcEdit
Natsu and the others find the Guild destroyed
As they return from their S-rank mission, they find the guild destroyed. They learn from Mirajane that it was their rival, Phantom Lord. Natsu argues with the master, telling him that they should fight back, but Makarov decides there is no point in getting angry with someone who attacks an empty guild, much to Natsu’s dismay.[103] Later, they discover the heavily injured bodies of Shadow Gear's Levy McGarden, Jet and Droy nailed to a tree, and Makarov declares war on Phantom.[104]
Natsu smashes into Phantom Lord, attacking with many other members of Fairy Tail
They rush to Phantom Lord's guild and directly attack its members. When they arrive, Natsu breaks down the door and the battle between the two guilds begin.[105][106] When Makarov leaves to crush Phantom Lord's leader, Jose Porla, Gajeel Redfox joins the fight. He initially fights with Elfman before Natsu takes over, and the two dragon slayers have a fairly equal fight.[107] However, the fight soon turns sour when Makarov falls from above after losing his Magical power.[108]
Natsu saves Lucy
After witnessing the Master’s apparent defeat, Erza orders them to retreat, much to the dismay of Natsu and the rest of the guild. Just as they are about to leave, Natsu overhears Gajeel and a member of the Element 4, Aria, saying they had captured Lucy. He kidnaps one of Phantom Lord's members, burning him until he told Natsu where Lucy may be. Out of fear of further injury, the member of Phantom Lord tells him that she was most likely at their headquarters.[109] Natsu sprints to it, shouting Lucy's name, leaping in the air, and catching her as she deliberately fell from the headquarters's tower prison. Seeing as they were at the headquarters, Natsu wishes to continue the fight, but Happy and a tearful Lucy make him reluctantly agree to retreat.[110]
Back at the guild, Natsu consoles a depressed Lucy, telling her that Fairy Tail is her "home".[111] The guild begins to quake and they go outside to see a gigantic walking building: Phantom Lord's headquarters, which unveils its powerful cannon, Jupiter.[112] Jose then orders the cannon to be fired, but Erza requips her adamantine armor and resolves to stop it, despite Natsu and the rest of the guild begging her not to. The cannon is then shot towards the guild, but Erza takes the full brunt of Jupiter, and prevents it from annihilating the guild.[113] Jose warns them that another such blast will be fired unless Lucy is given to them, but every single one of them adamantly refuses. As a result, Jose tells them to shiver in 15 minutes of fear as it reloads.[114]
Natsu vs. Totomaru
Natsu declares that he'll smash it before this happens; Happy flies them to the building, but just as he is about to destroy the lacrima of the cannon, he is confronted by a member of the Element 4, Totomaru.[115] Because Totomaru's element relates to fire, he is able to control any type of flame, and causes grief for Natsu before he figures out how to overcome Totomaru's control and destroy the lacrima the moment before the cannon fires.[116] Enraged, Jose orders for the walking building to transform into a gigantic Mage; the transformation process caused it to temporarily turn into a vehicle, invoking Natsu's motion sickness, and Totomaru almost strikes him with his Rainbow Fire before the arrival of Gray and Elfman, who finish the Phantom member off.[117] Happy rushes outside to see what has happened and informs them that the building has become a Mage and is about to unleash a massively destructive spell. They then agree to split up to find the source of the Magic.[118]
Natsu vs Aria
As Natsu is searching, he meets the strongest of the Element 4, Aria.[119] Natsu is dominated during the fight and nearly loses his Magic via Aria's Void; he is saved by Erza, who defeats Aria in one blow.[120] Erza collapses from exhaustion moments before Jose announces (via loudspeakers) that they have captured Lucy. Erza shouts for Natsu to unleash his hidden power and protect them all. Natsu, inspired by this, discovers newfound determination and flames forward until he smashes through a wall and saves Lucy being impaled from one of Gajeel's daggers.[121][122]
Natsu vs Gajeel
The two Dragon Slayers then begin their lengthy fight.[123] Although equal at first, Gajeel takes the upper hand when he eats the metal tiles and restores his health.[124] This abruptly changes when Natsu gets to eat fire thanks to Lucy's Celestial Spirit, Sagittarius, and he simultaneously defeats Gajeel with his Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon Fist, and destroys his guild.[125] Natsu falls due to fatigue but stays behind in the guild as Happy takes Lucy back to Fairy Tail.[126] Natsu questions Gajeel about where he learned his Magic; Gajeel replies from the metal dragon Metalicana who disappeared on the date 7/7 X777, similar to Igneel.[127]
Natsu and Gray are hit by Erza
Whilst reconstructing the broken guild, Natsu carries a great deal many more wooden beams than necessary, and indirectly challenges Gray to carry as twice as many, who accepts and does so for a short second. Erza hits them and forces them to stop messing around before Loke gives Gray Lucy's keys, which she had lost when she was caught by Juvia Lockser.[128] Natsu, Gray and Erza decide to go to her house for a short break, but find that she has left to go home. They rush to her house and are relieved to discover that she was only going to see her mother's grave.[129][130] When they return, Natsu and Gray overhear Lucy’s conversation about the punishment she received from Aquarius from losing the keys, and ponders what expression Lucy would have if he made her butt hurt. He never follows through with this, as he is struck by a chair thrown by an enraged Erza.[131] Her fury is directed at Laxus, who derides the weakness of Shadow Gear. Natsu throws a fist at Laxus who effortlessly dodges and then leaves with the affirmation that he will make the strongest guild. Erza tells Natsu to leave him, and then proposes that she, Natsu, Gray, Lucy and Happy should do a job together: attack an illegal Magic school. While doing the job, they destroy half a stretch of road.[132]
Loke arcEdit
Natsu as a dragon in a play
Natsu is first seen incorrectly playing pool with Gray.[133] After Lucy takes a “special job” from Mirajane, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Lucy travel to their destination, and Natsu is seen laying on the ground, suffering from his usual motion sickness.[134] Natsu and the others go to help a theater house by becoming actors for a play. However, Natsu's and the others' destructiveness cause the play to become apparently ruined, but, to their surprise, it becomes a hit anyway.[135]
Natsu preparing for a pillow fight
Later, Natsu and the others go to Balsam Village and after defeating some troublemakers in the area, decide to stay in the town for the night. As they are talking, they notice Loke in the distance and come over to speak to him, until he quickly runs away at the sight of Lucy.[136] During their stay, Natsu, Gray, and Erza get into a serious pillow fight. Gray apparently wins, but Natsu wouldn't accept it so the two of them call on Lucy to decide for them.[137][138] He later searches through the town for Loke, who had suddenly left Fairy Tail.[139]
Tower of Heaven arcEdit
Natsu's imaginative spirit.
Upon discovering that Loke is a Celestial Spirit, Natsu expresses his desire to be able to summon a dragon, claiming he wants a way to test the extent of his Dragon Slayer Magic. When Loke gives Lucy the tickets to a resort, where he had previously reserved rooms for himself and his girlfriends, Natsu joins her, Erza, and Gray in a break from the jobs assigned at Fairy Tail.[140] After spending a day of relaxation at the resort with the other members of the group, Natsu tries his luck at roulette in the casino, but is attacked by Wally Buchanen in the middle of the game, who tries to kill Natsu by firing his gun into his mouth.[141]
After the abduction of both Erza and Happy, Natsu, incensed by Wally's attempt to kill him, assists the others (with the newly arrived Juvia Lockser) in tracking Erza by using his sharp sense of smell to follow her scent across the sea to the Tower of Heaven.[142][143] Upon arrival, the team uses Juvia's oxygen bubbles to sneak into the tower's basement through an underwater tunnel, and Natsu's desire for an open fight is fulfilled when they are challenged by the guards there.[144] After meeting up with Erza, Natsu rushes off on his own to find Happy, and gets his revenge on Wally.[145]
Natsu fights Wally and Millianna.
After finally arriving at Millianna's room, he tries on a cat-themed costume head, but finds that it is stuck.[146] When Wally tries to ambush him again, he is saved by Millianna, who believes that Natsu is a real cat and doesn't want Wally to hurt him.[147][148] He is nearly killed again when Wally convinces Millianna that he is not, in fact, a cat, and the two attack in tandem, but he is saved by Happy's return. He ends up defeating both Mages by using a joke-move, the "Ultimate Strike: Kitty in Pain", to invoke Millianna's pity and make her release him from his bonds, allowing his Magic to return and beating them with a single attack using his Fire Dragon's Wing Attack.[149]
Natsu fights Fukuro.
After Happy finally removes the cat mask off of Natsu, Wally attempts to continue their fight, but Natsu states that it is already over. Suddenly, dozens of mouths grow all over the walls, and Jellal tells everyone that they are part of the Paradise Game and explains the rules to them.[150][151] Following Jellal Fernandes's beginning of the Paradise Game, Natsu tries to cheat by using Happy's Magic to fly to the top floor directly, but is intercepted by Fukuro.[152] Simon tries to fight Fukuro in Natsu’s stead, but is easily defeated.[153] Natsu and Fukuro then begin their battle.[154] Fukuro takes advantage of Natsu’s motion sickness to incapacitate and then swallow him, thus absorbing his Dragon Slayer abilities.[155] But the final stages of absorption are stopped by Gray, who, in a rage due to Erza's condition, battles and then defeats Fukuro with his Seven Slice Dance, freeing Natsu from his stomach.[156]
Natsu fights Jellal.
After the fight with Fukuro, Natsu wakes up on Simon’s back. Simon takes Natsu and begs him to save Erza. Natsu refuses at first, saying that Erza needed to defeat her own opponent and that was something he didn't want to interfere, but he changed his mind once Simon told him that she can't defeat Jellal.[157][158] He also states that she is still trying to save Jellal and that Jellal will take advantage of her emotions. Simon displays his concern that Erza might take advantage of the Etherion to die and take Jellal down with her, which makes Natsu reach his boiling point, and ask Simon about Erza's whereabouts.[159] After the Etherion was fired, Natsu manages to arrive just in time to save Erza from being absorbed into the R-System lacrima and tells her that they need to finish their job, otherwise they won't make it to Lucy's rent on time. She tells him that she can't move, to which he comically tickles her. Erza then tells Natsu to leave and not to fight Jellal because he will only lose, and she tearfully begs him to listen to her. However, Natsu picks Erza up, asking her why she is like that and telling her that he'll win this fight, subsequently knocking her out. He turns back to Jellal, accusing that he was the reason behind Erza crying and he says she should be strong, mean, and scary, . Natsu says he hopes Erza will be the Erza he knew once she wakes up and that he'll fight Jellal for that and charges him.[160]
Natsu after he eats the Etherion
Natsu fights Jellal and seems to dominate over him, before Jellal reveals that he wants to know the Dragon Slayer abilities. Natsu has trouble predicting a now serious Jellal's movement and is seemingly overpowered by Jellal's Grand Chariot attack. When Jellal talks about that the damage that he had dealt to the tower, Natsu takes advantage of his words and begins destroying some of the lacrima, saying that Fairy Tail mages specialize in property damage and that he's still able to fight.[161] He tries to fight Jellal once more and destroys more of the lacrima; this prompts Jellal to prepare an attack that will finish off Natsu, but Erza wakes up and steps in, hoping that he wouldn't attack her. Jellal tells them that it doesn't matter anymore and launches his attack on them. Much to their shock, Simon steps in and sacrifices himself to protect them. While Jellal is mocking Simon, Natsu starts eating the lacrima, and he tells Jellal to shut up and punches him when Jellal says they will not escape. He eats more of the Etherion-infused lacrima and starts to go wild.[162] Natsu experiences negative side effects from eating the lacrima, apparently being unable to handle the magic power of Etherion. He suddenly stabilizes and enters Dragon Force and is able to dominate Jellal. Jellal is able to get away and fly above the tower and attempts to use Abyss Break to defeat Natsu; however, a wound caused by Erza interrupts his attempt at casting the powerful spell. Natsu says there's no freedom for someone possessed by a ghost and takes advantage of this opening to attack and defeat Jellal.[163]
Natsu saves Erza
Natsu faints after the battle and Erza carries him, but she realizes that the Etherion went out of control and will soon cause a giant explosion that will kill everyone around them. Erza decides to sacrifice herself and fuse with Etherion to save everybody. Natsu wakes up as she starts the fusion and asks Erza what she is doing. She replies that this is the only way to save everybody and she can't imagine the world without Fairy Tail or her friends. If she can save everyone, then she will do it without any hesitation. Erza finishes the fusion and says she'll always be with them as a crying Natsu begs her to get out of there; the tower then disappears.[164] After this, Erza sees a vision of her funeral. In the vision everyone is very sad that she is dead except for Natsu who loudly denies that Erza is dead and is attacked by some attendees of the funeral and shoved to the ground. Seeing this, Erza realizes that her decision left her friends with a sad future and wants it to stop. She suddenly wakes up and realizes that she is alive and sees everyone running towards her. She notices that Natsu is carrying her, and he lets her down while stating that they are the same. Natsu, in tears, tells her not to do something like that ever again. Erza promises Natsu not to risk her life again and gives him a genuine thanks, realizing that she needs to live for her friends' sake to bring a happy future.[165]
Natsu sleeps for three days straight and temporarily wakes up after Gray insulted him who also reminds him of how he got eaten by Fukuro. He suddenly falls asleep again. He feasts later that night after finally waking up from his Etherion injuries.[166] As Erza starts her send off for Wally, Millianna and Shô, Natsu appears and says he hopes to see them again sometime soon and sets off fireworks, using his magic, along with Gray and Lucy as a farewell.[167]
Fighting Festival arcEdit
Natsu's sickness after eating Etherion.
Natsu returns from the tower to find the guild rebuilt and two new members: Juvia and Gajeel. Provoked by Gajeel, he starts a huge fight with him, which quickly includes the other members. It appears he doesn't particularly like the new look of the guild as well, saying that it is not the same as it used to be.[168] Later, he starts to suffer from some side-effects from absorbing the Etherion during his fight with Jellal. He leaves for home, but sleeps instead in Lucy's bed. Later, he returns temporarily to hunt a Sorcerer Magazine guy that he believes is destroying his reputation.
During the Festival, Natsu is still dozy as Evergreen froze the participants of the Miss Fairy Tail contest.[169] Laxus, along with his bodyguards, the Thunder God Tribe, announced his "Fairy Tail battle", threatening to kill the girls unless everyone joined in, effectively making them hostages.[170]
Natsu stuck in Freed's enchantment
Natsu is suddenly rejuvenated by the prospect of a battle royale between guild members, and is back on his destructive feet. He leaps forward to attack Laxus, but a quick electric shock from Laxus deals with Natsu. Swiftly getting back on his feet, he sprints to join the fight, but is unable to leave the guild due to Freed Justine's enchantment [171] (which affected Gajeel the same way). It is believed that, due to their Dragon Slayer Magic, they are unable to get out of the guild . He then tried to free Erza with Gajeel by heating her up. Inadvertently, they succeeded, but not without Erza punching them both for their carelessness [172] and then running out to fight . Her reappearance in the battle came in tandem with the arrival of Mystogan.
Natsu and Gajeel, ready to fight
Despite Makarov's worries, Natsu still had faith that Laxus wasn't going to harm anyone. However, Laxus himself cast serious doubt on this when he threatened to destroy the entire town by activating his Hall of Thunder, in response to losing his hostages after Evergreen's defeat at the hands of Erza. Levy, now released from the stone enchantment as well, offers that she can break the barrier,[173] allowing Natsu and Gajeel to enter the battlefield, and eventually manages to do so.
Natsu vs Laxus (part one)
Natsu eventually finds and confronts Laxus at Caldia Cathedral and is just in time to catch a glimpse of Mystogan's face, which looks exactly like Jellal. Erza asks Mystogan if he is Jellal, but Mystogan denies this and says he only knows Jellal. Natsu then challenges Laxus, and while initially indifferent to him, Laxus starts to take him seriously after Natsu manages to score a few hits. As Erza leaves to deal with Laxus's Hall of Thunder, Natsu chides Laxus for not really wanting to carry out his plan, saying that he just wants his grandfather to give in (whom neither realize has fallen deathly ill). He has faith that Erza will stop the spell, despite Laxus's thoughts otherwise. Natsu's faith is proven as they see a report that the Hall of Thunder has been stopped due to Erza and the recovered Fairy Tail members. Though the town is spared from the Hall of Thunder, the inhabitants are now threatened by an enraged Laxus as he goes berserk.
Natsu and Gajeel fight Laxus
Natsu holds his own for a few moments, but is soon overpowered. Gajeel then joins in, saving Natsu from a finishing strike, and both reluctantly team up to fight Laxus. After a few assorted combos of Metal and Fire Dragon Slayer techniques, after the smoke clears, a still-unharmed Laxus remains unimpressed and offers to show them both "true Dragon Slayer magic". Laxus releases a lightning version of the Dragon's Roar, inflicting critical damage and paralyzing both Natsu and Gajeel. Laxus attempts to use the extremely powerful Fairy Law to kill everyone, both from the guild, as well as the whole of Magnolia, but the attack fails.
Natsu's roar after he defeats Laxus
Freed, still injured from his fight with Mirajane, appears and explains it is because Laxus's heart doesn't see the Fairy Tail members nor the people of Magnolia as enemies. Laxus vows to change the guild but then Natsu gets up, ready to stop him and prove that his comrades are precious to him. Natsu is then beaten into the ground by Laxus but keeps getting back up. Laxus is about to kill Natsu with another Lightning Dragon move, but Gajeel absorbs it by using himself as a lighting rod. Finally, Natsu comes back with a flurry of Fire Dragon moves in an eight-hit combo, defeating Laxus. Victorious, Natsu stands tall and yells at the top of his lungs.
Natsu on Fantasia Parade
After the fight, most of the members recover from the brutal beatings they had taken, Natsu included, whose mouth was bandaged shut, muffling his speech. When Laxus shows up at the guild to see Makarov, Natsu yells (his muffles translated by Gajeel) at him that he didn't consider the two-on-one as a fair victory, and that he wanted a rematch with Laxus. However, instead of the usual comeback, Laxus merely waves after the guild without facing them, earning him a confused glance from Natsu. Despite his injuries, Natsu takes part in the Fantasia parade in a fire-blowing float.
Oración Seis arcEdit
The following week, his injuries healed, Natsu confronts Makarov about Laxus's excommunication, but is stopped by Erza. When Lucy worries about her lack of money, Natsu suggests they take a job, making her weep in joy. The next day they, along with Happy, Erza and Gray prepare to leave to find and capture the escaped convict Velveno. Lucy suddenly darts off - confused, the others follow her, but find that she is okay and had almost literally defeated a whole guild by herself.
Useless Natsu can only eat
As Lucy is short on payment for her rent, Natsu, along with Gray and Erza, help her by taking jobs as waiters and waitresses in a Magical restaurant. However, Natsu spends most of the time eating the food rather than serving it, and after all the work is done, supports a rather bloated figure. They return to the guild to find a drawing of the various factions of the Dark Guilds and the current strength of the Balam Alliance. Makarov then picks him and his team as delegates to go after Oración Seis.
Natsu and Gray... Not too cool...
As he ventures to the meeting point, he meets The Trimens and Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki, who were Blue Pegasus's delegates. He, along with Gray, is not impressed with them. Soon, they meet the Lamia Scale Guild members to join them and he becomes even more unimpressed in the form of two old foes, Lyon and Sherry, and one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Jura Nekis. However, as he meets the Cait Shelter Guild member, Wendy Marvell, along with her cat Carla, he gives an impression of recognizing Wendy's name. Later, he runs out looking for the Oración Seis to take them all on, one on one.
Natsu fights Naked Mummy
After the Oración Seis find them, Natsu is beaten by them and nearly killed until Jura Nekis arrives to save him and the others. As they discover Erza's poisoned state, Carla suggests that they find the captured Wendy, who is revealed to be the Dragon Slayer of the Sky, and Happy, so she can save her. With this, Natsu runs off with Carla and Gray, asking Carla along the way what element Wendy consumes using her Dragon Slayer powers, which happens to be air. Natsu wonders if it is tasty to which Carla replies she doesn't know, though Gray conjectures that it is the same as inhaling. They continue their search, only to find and beat the Naked Mummy Guild. After discovering Oración Seis's hideout, Natsu goes on ahead while Gray fights Racer. As he arrives, Natsu is met with a shock: Jellal is revived. Natsu takes his time to take Wendy back to Erza so she can heal her. Hibiki Laytis helps Natsu bring Wendy to Erza and she is healed. Suddenly, Nirvana is revealed, and Natsu rushes headstrong to stop Jellal.
Natsu caught in Angel's trap
On his way, he runs into Racer's personal guild Harpuia and defeats them easily. Natsu then finds an unconscious Gray floating in a river and tries to help him, but when he gets there, a raft pops up out of the water and Natsu's motion sickness takes over. Gray gets up, acting strangely, and prepares to make a killing blow. Lucy and Hibiki appear, halting Gray as the raft comes to a stop; despite this, Natsu still feels the effects. It is revealed that Gray was actually Angel's Celestial Spirit, Gemini. Lucy faces off against her and wins, but rapids suddenly appear and drag her and Natsu (by the raft) down the river and a waterfall. He later wakes up on dry land along with Lucy, and notices that Virgo has been taking care of them by treating Lucy's wounds and changing their clothes by her own will. Sherry, who has murderous thoughts due to Nirvana, appears suddenly and is about to attack Natsu and Lucy when Gray crashes in and holds her down, and Lyon shows up to be alive as well, making Sherry revert to normal. Natsu, along with Gray and Lucy, are caught up in the activation of Nirvana's second stage; they are later seen climbing up one of its legs.
As Natsu's motion sickness kicks in, Happy arrives to help him, so as he flies to stop Brain, Cobra takes to the skies as well to battle Natsu. As the two begin to battle, Cobra stays ahead of Natsu by reading his thoughts, but Natsu overcomes this by fighting on instinct. Natsu becomes shocked as he realizes that Cobra is the Poison Dragon Slayer.
Natsu beats Cobra
However, he learns that Cobra is actually artificial like Laxus, so Natsu fights to defeat yet another artificial Dragon Slayer. After being infected with some of the poison, Natsu becomes enraged that Cobra considers all dragons extinct and tries to defeat Cobra again with a huge roar that shatters Cobra's sensitive ear drums. However, Cobra survives only to be defeated by Brain. With this, Brain reveals that he plans on using Nirvana to turn Natsu evil so he can serve him, but the timely arrival of Gray, Lucy and Jura save him. After Jura deals with Brain, Wendy and Carla arrive and Wendy heals Natsu's poison while temporarily curing him of motion sickness.
As the team is led into a trap by Brain, Natsu becomes enraged to see Jura nearly killed from defending them from it. When the seventh member of the Oración Seis, Brain's staff Klodoa, appears to him, Gray, Lucy and Happy, Natsu is unfazed by the fact that he is a talking stick and waves him around, demanding that he stop Nirvana.
Natsu brings himself back up.
Klodoa, however, frees himself from Natsu's grasp and tells him of their plan to destroy Cait Shelter so Nirvana cannot be resealed. Klodoa then starts whacking, but then abruptly acts nervously (due to Midnight's defeat at Erza) as he tells that since all the Oración Seis members have been defeated, a new side of Brain will emerge, codenamed Zero. This new personality then appears himself; Natsu comments that Zero's Magic feels disgusting, and attacks him when Zero easily smashes through Gray's Ice Shield. Zero dodges Natsu's attack and delivers a powerful one of his own, knocking Natsu down. After some encouraging words, Natsu wills himself back up and goes to Lacrima #1.
Natsu with Flame of Rebuke
However, Zero awaits him and the two battle fiercely. Natsu even stops a spell Zero thought couldn't be stopped. Suddenly, Jellal appears and delivers a powerful Magic blast to Natsu, shocking both him and Zero, the latter asking if Jellal had regained his memories. In fact, Jellal's memories had not returned, but he does remember Natsu's name and calls him the ray of hope. The Magic blast was actually a powerful fire attack intended to give Natsu back his strength.
Natsu's wrath
Initially, Natsu refuses Jellal's help and even proceeds to attack him. Taking advantage of the situation, Zero fires another spell at Natsu. Jellal defends him by taking the full force of the blast. This prompts Natsu to accept the Flame of Rebuke from Jellal to defeat Zero, and he receives a large boost in strength and speed. In his Dragon Force mode, he manages to beat Zero (after some initial trouble controlling his power) and destroys the Lacrima Crystal, along with the other five Mages in each leg of Nirvana.
Wendy thanks Natsu
At last, they manage to stop the Nirvana and the Oración Seis once and for all, but the celebration doesn't last long as the newly reformed Council shows up to take away Hoteye and Jellal into custody. While Natsu and Wendy protest against this, Jellal, Erza and everyone else only look on sadly.
Natsu tries to take Jellal back by force and attacks the council guards, but is stopped by Erza. He later appears at Cait Shelter and gets a new outfit to replace his torn up one and learns about Cait Shelter's disturbing secret. Natsu shows joy about being on a boat thanks to Wendy, but quickly gets sick again when her Magic wears off. He returns to Fairy Tail and tries to tell Elfman about his battle against Cobra.
Edolas arcEdit
Gildarts shows Natsu his injuries.
After finding out that Gildarts Clive was on his way back, Natsu and the rest of Fairy Tail prepare for his arrival. Even the whole town gets ready, dividing in two in order to avoid Gildarts accidentally smashing through private houses.[174] Upon Gildarts's arrival, Natsu immediately challenges him to a fight and charges at him, only to get deflected into the ceiling, where he comments on how strong Gildarts is.[175] Gildarts invites him to visit him a bit later at his house.[176] When Natsu and Happy arrive, Gildarts jokes about Natsu's relationship with Lisanna, but is shaken when Natsu tells him that she died two years ago while he was on his mission. Natsu tries to leave, but Gildarts mentions that he ran into a dragon while on his mission. He says it wasn't Igneel because it was a black dragon, not a red one. He recounts that he fought it and that it was the reason he failed the quest. Natsu decides he will go to the sacred mountain, Zonia, where Gildarts encountered the dragon, in the hopes of learning where Igneel is. Gildarts stops him and shows him the wounds he received from the dragon: the loss of his left arm, leg and an organ. Natsu runs out afterwards, saying a Dragon Slayer could defeat the dragon, tripping and falling into a pond before reminiscing about Igneel.[177]
Natsu and the others are discovered
While asleep, the Anima absorbs the guild. Only he, Wendy, Happy, and Carla are left behind because of their Dragon Slayer powers. Here, Carla explains about "Edolas", a parallel world. Natsu then plans to go to Edolas to save the guild. As he goes to the Edolas version of Fairy Tail, he becomes amazed as he sees how everyone is so different. He then gapes at how scary the Edolas version of Lucy is from her counterpart.
Edolas Lucy hugs Natsu
Edolas Lucy quickly realizes who Natsu is, likely confusing him with the Edolas Natsu, and hugs him, asking where he's been before punishing him. Later, Edolas Lisanna shows up and Natsu quickly sheds tears of joy. Just as he is about to hug her, Edolas Lucy kicked him in the face, and he soon hears Carla saying that everyone here is not from their guild and that they are their Edolas counterparts. Just as he is about to search for his friends, news of the Fairy Hunter arrive, and the guild has to transfer away. He later learns that the Fairy Hunter is none other than Edolas Erza, and to get his friends back, he probably will have to fight her.
Natsu running away from the frog monster.
Upon escaping the Fairy Hunters, Natsu reveals that they came from Earth Land to save their guild, which surprises the Edolas Fairy Tail members. When he requests to know how to get to the Capital, just about everyone tells him to give up on that idea, as it is practically suicidal. However, even after hearing the history of Edolas on guilds and their master, Natsu isn't faltered and firmly says that he will save his guild and his companions. This shocks everyone in the guild, especially Lucy. Upon receiving the directions to the Capital, Natsu gets sidetracked and wants to capture a small, frog-like creature and give it to Earth Land's Lucy as a gift, to which Happy says it's a bad idea. The capture, however, is unsuccessful, as an extremely large frog-like creature appeared, and they are forced to run away when they realize that they can't use Magic. Out of nowhere, Edolas Lucy saves them, and tells them that she came with them because the area was dangerous, and not because she was worried. Upon hearing that, Natsu says that she's Lucy after all, to which Lucy responds by saying that was a twisted way of logic he was thinking.
Edolas Weapon, Sealed Flame Blade
Later, the group makes their way into the Town Of Luen, where Natsu purchases a Magic sword hilt from a secret Magic black market. When the Edolas Royal Army discovers them, he immediately puts his weapon to use, sending streams of fire at the soldiers. However, they use a Magic shield against his attack, and Natsu finds that he is unable to use any more Magic due to it being limited in Edolas. He then manages to escape for a short while with the rest, and is shocked to find out that Earth Land Lucy has managed to find her way into Edolas with the help of Mystogan.
Eventually, Natsu and the group made it to Sikka, where they decide to spend the night. While eating, he watches the two Lucys arguing about their bodies, to which Natsu retaliated with a question of why they were taking a bath with their counterpart. The next day, while listening to Edolas Lucy explain that a race called Exceed existed, they see an airship that belonged to the Royal Army. Natsu wants to ride on to get there, but when Wendy states she can't perform Troia here, he says that that was a bad idea after all. Watching Lucy fail to summon the correct Celestial Spirit due to one of Loke's dates, Natsu and Wendy decide to battle with their weapons fully recharged. They are defeated in matter of moments, however. When the airship flys off and they almost get captured, all hope seemed lost until Edolas Natsu emerges with his vehicle and escapes with the group. Experiencing motion sickness, he listened to his counterpart introduce himself as Natsu the Fireball.
Dragneel meets Dragion
Arriving at the outskirt of the capital of Edolas, Edolas Natsu threw everyone out. He explains that he doesn't want to fight the capital as it's extremely foolish, and says that the only reason why he even did them a favor is because Edolas Lucy requested him to help. Before Edolas Natsu has the chance to leave, Earth Land Natsu pulls him off his vehicle and asks why he won't get motion sickness. His counterpart's cowardly response off his vehicle surprises everyone else. Earth Land Natsu then comments on how Lucy should treat his counterpart better, even though she was only trying to introduce herself to his counterpart. Although Edolas Natsu says that they won't win against the Royal Army, Earth Land Natsu only gives a smile of confidence, saying that they will rescue their friends and companions from the enemy. Later, inside the kingdom, they find the Lacrima, which is guarded by the Royal Army.
Lucy tries to stop Natsu.
While listening to the king's speech, they notice that parts of the Lacrima have been removed, and when the King chipped off a bit of the Lacrima, Natsu nearly loses it, had Lucy not held him back. Later, when Carla devises a plan to sneak into the palace, they take a path into an abandoned mine and once they make it out, they are captured by Edolas Erza. Natsu looks on, shocked at Happy, as the soldiers bow down to Happy and Carla. Natsu and Wendy are locked up in a jail cell; Natsu asks the guard what happened to Lucy. After hearing the guard say that they will execute her, he becomes furious and threatens to kill them if they touch Lucy. The guards later reveal that the Exceeds' mission was originally to assassinate the Dragon Slayers, but had been changed to capture them instead. Natsu is next seen unconscious as Byro prepares to extract his and Wendy's Dragon Slayer Magic. When Gray and Erza save Lucy, Happy, and Carla from Erza Knightwalker, Gray gives an unconscious Natsu an Ex-ball, a food that allows Earth Land wizards to use their unlimited Magic in Edolas. Upon waking up, Natsu sees his power restored, breathes out fire, and rushes to stop the Fairy Tail Lacrima from colliding with Extalia.
Natsu's reaction when he sees two Erzas
He eventually runs into Wendy, Carla, Lucy, and Gray. At first, Natsu is confused about the situation until Lucy and Wendy explain that Earth Land Gajeel, Gray and Erza showed up. Now cleared up, the group splits into two; Natsu travels with Lucy and Gray, and asks where the king is. Gray and Lucy suspect in some important place, but Lucy starts to wonder, since the courtyard and prison were in such strange locations for a castle. Natsu then says that in short, the place has a strange layout. Lucy responds, saying that she wouldn't be surprised if there was an amusement park, and coincidentally there was one right in front of them. Sugarboy and Hughes show up, stating how much they want unlimited Magic, and prepare to fight Natsu and the others. Hughes starts off by dropping a ship on Natsu, Gray, and Lucy, which is blocked by Gray's Ice Shield.
Natsu and Lucy on Hughes' roller coaster
Natsu then attacks Hughes, demanding that his comrades be returned. Hughes denies Natsu and uses his weapon, Command Tact, to get Natsu onto a roller coaster which debilitates him. Gray throws Lucy onto the coaster to help Natsu, but the coaster track ends in a small lake. Hughes talks of how awesome Edolas Magic is, and why it couldn't be allowed to run out, which infuriates Natsu, as they are killing Fairy Tail and the Exceeds just for unlimited Magic. He says the important thing is that they are living things, that "These are lives, dammit!" Lucy proceeds to use Aquarius to attack Hughes, but Hughes' control of anything in the park overrides Aquarius' control of the water, and he collapses a large amount of water on Natsu, Lucy, and Aquarius.
Natsu's Fury
The two are washed into the Monster Academy. Natsu finds Lucy inside a coffin that can change ones clothes, so he devises a plan to have Lucy distract Hughes with a sexy bikini, which ultimately fails. Hughes controls the monster dolls into attacking them, driving Lucy away from Natsu. As Natsu is getting beat up by the monsters, he becomes enraged and the form of a dragon could be seen in his smoke and fire, causing Hughes and his monster army to back away in fear. He is seen later punching Hughes through the Monster Academy sign, knocking out Byro at the same time.
Natsu fights the Edolas Royal Army.
Natsu later meets up with Lucy, and when Coco tries to give them a key to the king's plan, he is surprised, but is then caught off guard when Sugarboy glides past them and steals the key. After going after and defeating Sugarboy, Gray catches up with Natsu. When he catches up, Natsu is a little surprised to see the key destroyed, but then learns that Gray can create a replica and that they can use it to turn everyone back to normal. Shortly after, Erza Knightwalker (actually Erza Scarlet in disguise) shows up and captures them. He is later seen seemingly unconscious and tied up, being taken by Erza past a gate to where the cannon is. Erza tells Gray to create a duplicate of the key; they were secretly trying to hit the lacrima with the cannon, but when the plan failed (because of Gray not knowing how to use the cannon), Erza tells Natsu to move, knocking out some of the soldiers, taking the king as hostage, and ordering the soldiers to change the target of the cannon to the lacrima itself. Erza Knightwalker appears from above and attacks Erza, releasing the king and returning the cannon to its original target. When firing the cannon, Lucy arrives with Coco on a Region to take everyone to Extalia and stop the lacrima.
Natsu defends Wendy
When the strength of the Mages was not enough, the entire population of Extalia, including the queen to the surprise of many, come to help and suddenly the lacrima disappears, leaving some smoke and the Mage Mystogan there, who explains that thanks to them, he was able to find an Anima large enough to send the Lacrima back to Earth Land and return everyone to normal. He then reveals himself as the Prince of Edolas who Pantherlily saved many years back. Suddenly, Pantherlily is attacked by Erza Knightwalker, who was going to attack the Exceeds with a group of soldiers on Regions. When Mystogan tries to stop Erza Knightwalker, the king appears inside an enormous dragon-like machine called Dorma Anim, which nullifies all external Magic attacks. The king orders the soldiers to capture the Exceeds and then shoots a Magic beam from the Dorma. Mystogan uses the Triple Magic Rune: Mirrored Water, to deflect the attack back to it, but it doesn't have any effect. Dorma Anim shoots again and takes Mystogan down. When the king is about to attack again, the Dorma Anim is suddenly beaten 3 times, revealing Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy, who had decided to take on the king, leaving the rest to deal with the soldiers.
Wendy casts a spell on Natsu and Gajeel while they fight with the Dorma Anim, making them faster and stronger. The king then fires some tracking missiles after Wendy, but Natsu intercepts and destroys them. When the king is about to shoot again, Gajeel hits the missiles before launch but gets hit by the tail of the Dorma. A group of missiles is fired again, but these ones explode before Natsu can hit them. The king gets surprised when Natsu eats the fire of the explosions while Gajeel starts eating the tail of the Dorma. Suddenly, the Dorma changes color and gains in power, as the king states that he is going to "Drain all the fighting spirits".
Natsu and Dorma Anim
The new form of the Dorma Anim grants it a huge increase in power, turning the tide in the king's favor. Gajeel decides to try some different tactics, revealing that they hadn't been using full power because they didn't know what could happen. All three of them attacked at once with their respective roars, but it had almost no effect. The king proclaims victory, saying that although they have infinite Magic, it takes a while to recharge after it's all used up. Natsu gets up, saying he'll use tomorrow's Magic. Gajeel gets up and pins the Dorma Anim's leg down to the ground, telling Natsu to attack and that he was the only one who could do it. Natsu tells Wendy to aim a roar at him to boost his speed and succeeds in tearing through the Dorma Anim.
The Great Demon-Lord Dragneel
Seeing the islands falling, a tip from Nadi about Mystogan, and Pantherlily's conversation make Natsu decide to dress up and declare himself as the Great Demon-Lord Dragneel. Showing up with his servants and a tied up Faust on the Royal Capital, he declares that he was the one responsible for taking Magic away from Edolas. He commands his servants to destroy the streets of Royal Capital. Mystogan shows up, saying that there's no reason to fight anymore with the king defeated, but Natsu doesn't listen and reveals Mystogan's lineage towards the masses. The Great Demon-Lord then taunts Mystogan to either fight him or he will destroy the whole city. With Mystogan's arrival, Natsu taunts him by demonstrating his Magical power to the powerless prince and the crowd, in order to setup the perfect scenario. Though Mystogan continues to doubt the success of the plan, Natsu doesn't listen and starts a fist brawl against the prince. Knowing that Mystogan was still lacking confidence, he further taunts him to fight seriously, which causes him to receive a kick in the face. As the brawl continues, Natsu begins to tell Mystogan the three rules for leaving the guild as the final departing ritual.
The Dragon Slayers' true farewell to Edolas
With the final rule finished, Natsu falls with a smile, while hoping to see him again one day. With their bodies beginning to glow because of Anima, he, along with Gajeel and Wendy, pretend to be suffering, to further convince the crowd that Prince Jellal has defeated them. As Natsu leaves, Faust tells Natsu he forgot about so many things when he became a king. He then asks if being in a guild is fun. Natsu looks puzzled at first, but then replies with a big smile telling him that they are.[178] When the crowd can no longer see them, they give a bright smile as a sign of good luck.
Lisanna greets Natsu
Afterwards, Natsu and the others cross through the Anima and see that their guild and Magnolia are back to normal. They get another surprise when they see all the Exceeds in Earth Land as well. However, after learning the truth involving the 6 year mission, he bears no grudge against them and they part on good terms. As they are about to head back to Fairy Tail, Pantherlily (in a smaller form) shows up, asking to join their guild. He pulls a suspicious person he caught out from behind a bush. Natsu then gets a major shock when he sees that it is the Edolas Lisanna, and wonders how and why she is in Earth Land. However, he is extremely happy when he figures out that she is, in fact, the Earth Land Lisanna. With this, he helps her back to her siblings for a tearful reunion.
Tenrou Island arcEdit
Natsu and the rest of Fairy Tail celebrate Lisanna's return, and get into a brawl that Natsu and Gajeel cause.[179] Days later, Natsu rushes to the work board to get jobs for the upcoming S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial, and Natsu is chosen by Makarov to be a participant along with Gray, Juvia, Elfman, Cana, Freed, Levy, and Mest Gryder.[180]
E for Erza, of course!
As the participants head towards the island, Makarov arrives to explain the rules of the first trial. After hearing and realizing the boat stopped, Natsu tries to head towards the island first. However, Freed uses a rune on the boat, which prevents everyone from leaving for 5 minutes, though Levy and Gajeel as well as Evergreen and Elfman, are able to rewrite the rune, leaving only 5 teams trapped. As soon as the rune is released, Natsu and Happy fly to the island and Natsu chooses path E, out of the remaining four, since he believed E stood for Erza, whom he wanted to fight.[181] They continue down the E path, Natsu believing he would definitely fight Erza here. The path opens up, revealing Gildarts.[182] Natsu instantly charges to fight Gildarts. Despite numerous attacks, Gildarts easily overpowers Natsu using Hand to Hand Combat. Natsu then tries his Dragon's roar, but Gildarts uses his dis-assembling spell to dissipate the attack; however it hits Natsu as well, and he turns into numerous mini versions of himself.[183]
Natsu cries
Natsu continues fighting even in his chibi form, which impresses Gildarts.[184] Gildarts eventually loses his patience while fighting the mini-Natsus and he turns Natsu back to normal. Realizing that this was his best chance, Natsu uses his strongest attack: The Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blade. But the attack does nothing more than push the crash user back a few feet.[185] Gildarts stops holding back on Natsu and releases his Magic Power that is felt over the entire island, and Natsu bows down to Gildarts in defeat. Gildarts explains that Natsu has learned to face his weaknesses and he lets Natsu pass, and Natsu begins to cry.[186]
Natsu with his scarf turned black
Makarov announces the beginning of the second trial, and Natsu officially challenges Gray, Cana, Levy, and Elfman for the S-Class title, which everyone almost immediately agrees to.[187] With the second trial starting, Natsu and Happy discuss a possible location of Mavis' grave. They decide to check out the top of the island, but along the way, they meet up with Elfman and Evergreen confronting Zeref. Natsu manages to save them by making them duck in time to avoid Zeref's Death Magic. Zeref calls out to Natsu, but he doesn't seem to recognize who he is.[188] Natsu demands that Zeref go away, but When the Killing Mage states that he was anticipating Natsu's arrival, Natsu somehow interprets this declaration as a challenge and rushes towards him and punches him in the face. Zeref feels another wave of Death Magic coming and tells Natsu and the others to run. Natsu realizes his Magic takes away life and tells everyone to run away. As Elfman and Evergreen run, Natsu stays. Natsu emerges okay and realizes the boy has disappeared. Happy then notices Natsu's scarf has turned black, and wonders if Igneel gave him the scarf so he would be protected.[189]
Natsu fighting Grimoire Heart members
When Natsu sees the warning signal sent up by Erza[190] he, along with Happy, start thinking about who is the enemy.[191] Natsu and Happy continue through the forest when they hear a loud noise, thinking they will find enemies there and go towards it. Natsu then sees a column of fire from one of Azuma's attacks and runs towards it, knowing that nobody in Fairy Tail can use that type of Magic.[192] When they arrive, the perpetrator has disappeared and he confronts Mest, whose memory control Magic has worn off. Soon after, the Grimoire Heart members arrive from the bubbles released by Caprico,[193] and he prepares to fight them.[194] He proceeds to defeat most of the members, but Zancrow shows up and incinerates the rest of them for being too weak. Zancrow then launches his flames at Natsu, who tries to consume them before realizing he can't and is heavily wounded. Zancrow then explains to Natsu that he is a God Slayer, and is thus superior.[195]
Natsu shows Makarov that he is perfectly fine
Natsu and Zancrow battle and Zancrow overwhelms Natsu completely. However, Zancrow is held back by Makarov before he can hurt Natsu any further and when Makarov let's Zancrow go, Natsu unites the flames of Dragons and Gods in the Dragon God's Brilliant Flame attack, defeating Zancrow.[196] However Natsu falls over shortly after finishing the battle.[197] Wendy arrives at some point and tries to heal the wounded Makarov and Natsu. However, she can't properly heal Natsu yet, as Makarov notes that the evil staining his muffler is tainting him.[198]
Natsu is ready to stand against Zancrow one more time
Natsu then suddenly wakes up, and his muffler and clothes have been fixed thanks to Wendy. He then perks up as the scent of the man he met on Galuna Island (Zalty) reaches his nose.[199] He head off, and when he reaches the place, Zeref is unconscious, and Ultear had disappeared, feeling Natsu's approximation. Suddenly, a sprout in the ground grew into a giant tree that almost hit Natsu. Then he sees Ultear sitting on the one of branches. Natsu recognizes her as "that one guy", and mildly accuses her as a cross-dresser. Ultear denies this and clarifies that she is assuming her true form; she asks where his future will go. In short dialogue, she reveals that she is the leader of Seven Kin of Purgatory, Ultear Milkovich. Ultear also asks about what plans does Fairy Tail have for Zeref, making Natsu aware of the Killing Mage's identity as Zeref, much to his and Happy's shock, and says that she must repay debt, bearing in mind that Natsu had hit her on Garuna Island. While Natsu tries to climb the tree, and complains that Grimoire Heart appearance had interrupted the exam, she hits him with her orb and he recoils from the tree. After that, she produces many orbs and attacks Natsu with her ability "Flash Forward".[200]
Natsu defends Lucy
Natsu is next seen when he intervenes, when Kain was about to kill Lucy, and kicks him in the face and sends him flying over to Ultear.[201] Natsu asks Lucy what she was doing there, and she asks him the same and thanks him for saving her. Happy remarks that Lucy was sent flying over in their direction rather ungracefully, to which Lucy asks if there was a "cool" way to be sent flying.[202]
Team Natsu reformed for the time being
Lucy then asks Natsu if he had an opponent too, to which he replies that Kain was his opponent and that Lucy couldn't take him. She then says that she wasn't taking him, and that it would be a close fight even for Natsu. Natsu replies that it wouldn't be and that he would take him down. Happy then states that now Natsu had two opponents, and Natsu says that they had added an extra member themselves. He then says that he would put the trial on hold and that they should form a team; Lucy says that it is nostalgic, Happy says that it makes him think of when they first met, and Natsu remarks that he was all fired up. Lucy and Natsu then high-five each other, and then they both remark that they should defeat them.[203]
After Kain agrees to handle Natsu and Lucy by himself and Ultear takes her leave, Lucy warns Natsu that they cannot allow them to leave, but before Natsu hears her, he attempts to attack Ultear and Kain gets in the way. Lucy tries to help, but is under Kain's spell, as he reveals he was capable of taking a string of her hair while chasing her before, and soon takes his revenge by toying with her, putting her to attack Natsu. Natsu is successful in avoiding one of Lucy's attacks and prepares to counterattack, but Lucy's unpredictable movements prove too much for him to avoid. When Kain believes victory is at hand, Happy steals his doll. Kain knocks Happy with one blow and tries to recover his doll, but Natsu takes it instead, trying to counterattack. Kain, however, acts faster and delivers a powerful blow to Natsu, which ends with him crashing and half-buried by rocks. Unable to move on his own, Lucy tries to summon Virgo, but has no more power left and is subsequently captured and tortured by Kain. Natsu asks her to run, but she refuses, prompting Kain to kill Lucy by crushing her head. Before he can do it, Natsu uses the doll to manipulate Lucy's body into a counterattack, in which Kain takes a brutal beating. Further boosting Lucy with his own Dragon Slayer Magic, Natsu gives Happy the doll so that he can use the speed to further power Lucy, finally defeating Kain Hikaru with a brutal kick on the face.[204]
Pulling Natsu out of the rock
Natsu is then seen when Lucy is trying to pull him out of the boulders he had gotten stuck in earlier. Happy asks Natsu to break them with his flames, to which he responds that that is a good idea. Once Natsu is free they look over and notice that Zeref is no longer there, and Natsu remarks that something is getting in the way of his scent. Lucy then raises her leg and says she has to look for Cana, and Natsu asks her why she is raising her leg. She then begins to chase after Happy, who has Mr. Cursey in his hand, and Natsu says that it is time to take a nap. Lucy then says, while bending Happy with Mr. Cursey, that they can't because she's worried about Cana and they must search for Zeref. They then begin to speak on Grimoire Heart's goal and Natsu says that since they had laid a finger on Makarov, they wouldn't leave the island. Lucy then realizes that they must have a ship somewhere anchored on the island and asks Happy to go search for it, but he replies that he is out of Magic Power. Natsu then states that they should get back to where Makarov is resting and that they would have Lily or Carla take care of it.[205]
All those who oppose Fairy Tail are an enemy
He then arrives at the site where Makarov is resting, and when Doranbolt arrives, Natsu asks where he went, and Lucy says that it is Mest of the Council. He then tells Lucy that his name is really Doranbolt. Wendy begins to ask him something, but Doranbolt tells her not to worry because he came there to help them, which surprises Happy and Carla. He then says that with his powers, everyone can leave the island, but Natsu and the others refuse. Despite Mest's attempts to convince them otherwise, they all decide to stay on the island and fight.[206]
Natsu is then seen when he, along with Wendy and Lucy, try to convince Doranbolt to stall the council while they defeat Grimoire Heart.[207] Later, he, along with Wendy, Happy, Carla and Lucy, are confronted and beaten in one blow by Grimoire Heart member Bluenote Stinger.[208] When Cana arrives and fights Bluenote, she asks Natsu to distract him while she builds up Magical power. However, their plan fails when Bluenote uses his Gravity Magic to push them to the ground.[209] As Bluenote is about to kill Cana, Natsu uses his Fire Dragon's Roar on the ground in order to counter Bluenote's Magic and attack him, only to be thrown back. However, Cana uses this as an opening to cast Fairy Glitter, but fails to attack Bluenote when it is parried by the ground.[210]
When Bluenote is about to kill Cana, Gildarts arrives just in time to stop him, much to everyone's relief and delight.[211] After Gildarts' arrival, he orders everyone to get away, and the force from Gildarts and Bluenote clashing sends Natsu and the others flying.[212] After realizing that they'd only be in Gildarts' way, Natsu and the others leave.[213][214] Later, when Azuma destroys the Great Tenrou Tree, Natsu is seen collapsing along with the other members of Fairy Tail.[215]
After Erza defeats Azuma, Natsu, Lucy and Wendy regroup with the rest of the guild at the main camp, and they are shocked that so many are injured.[216] Natsu then resolves to go and defeat Hades, asking for Lucy and Happy to come with him. Wendy and the other Exceed decide to come along. Along the way to Hades, they meet Gray and Erza, telling them that he is always needing to be saved by somebody as well. Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, and Wendy then arrive at Hades' ship, ready to fight.[217] Hades tells them to come when they're ready, and Natsu yells for him to come down there and fight to no avail. He then asks Happy and the other Exceeds to find and destroy the ship's power source, just in case it flies during their fight. Wendy also casts Troia on Natsu as another preventative measure for Natsu's transportation sickness. The group then enters the ship using stairs made by Gray, Natsu being fired up that he can finally fight Hades. Natsu starts the fight and after a barrage of attacks, Hades explains that normal mistakes eventually become experience, but in their case, the mistake of fighting him will lead to them having no future. As he emerges unscathed by their attacks, everyone is shocked and Natsu notes how the level of his magical power has changed.[218]
After Horologium saves Wendy, Hades remarks that Makarov's kids are interesting and Natsu asks if he is an acquaintance of the old man. Hades reveals to them that he was Fairy Tail's second master and nominated Makarov as his successor. Natsu rushes toward him calling him a liar but is then attacked by Hades, resulting in a big explosion. Hades then talks about the origin of the name Fairy Tail and walks to Natsu, saying their journey is about to end. He is angry that he entrusted his will to Makarov as he doesn't like the changes made to the guild in his absense. Natsu says there is nothing wrong with change and that Hades lives like he's already dead, compared to them who are living with their lives on the line. He then says if you don't have the courage to change things, you might as well be dead. Natsu is shot multiple times with Hades' Bullet Magic, and tells Natsu to hate Makarov for causing them to suffer. Natsu says Hades is the old man's rival; this prompts Hades to ready a finishing blow, but lightning strikes this ship and hits his arm before he can attack.[219]
Natsu with Laxus's lightning absorbed.
Laxus appears and asks Natsu if Hades is the old man's rival. Hades is shocked, recognizing Laxus from when he was younger, calling him the brat and is quickly headbutted by Laxus.[220] Natsu watches as Laxus battles Hades on mostly even terms until Laxus is hit by one of Hades explosion attacks. As Hades uses a big attack to finish Laxus, Natsu is given Laxus' lightning. Natsu thanks Laxus for the meal and asks Laxus why he did this, saying he is so much weaker than him. Laxus tells him it's not about being weak or strong and says that someone with the guild's brand should be the one that defeats Hades, unlike him. Laxus tells him to take the pain that was caused to the guild and return it 100 fold. Wendy notices as the flame and lightning are fusing together in Natsu, who proclaims that this is the Lightning Flame Dragon 100 Fold Payback.[221] With Laxus's Magical Power inside him, Natsu seems to overpower Hades with a combination of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic and Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. With his Lightning Fire Dragon's Roar, Hades seems to be defeated.[222] However, Hades recovers from Natsu's attacks, unaffected. He then unleashes his Devil's Eye by removing his eye patch. Having exhausted his Magical Power, Natsu can do nothing but watch as Hades prepares to kill them.[223]
Hades explains that using magic is to sink into darkness and in the deep abyss, there is the "Magic of One." He says he is close to attaining this magic, but the last stretch is the most difficult to reach. He further explains that Zeref's awakening will create "The Great World of Magic" which will allow him to attain the "Magic of One." He then uses Hidden Magic, the Punishers of Heavens: Nemesis which allows him to summon powerful demons from even the lowliest of rocks. Wendy, Erza, Gray, and Lucy are all scared realizing these demons are very strong; Natsu grabs Lucy arm, saying that he's got a comrade right beside him after all. He tells them the words of Gildarts, that fear isn't evil but that it allows them to learn their own weaknesses. He says that when learning their own weakness, they can grow stronger and kinder; now that they've learned their weakness, he says they need to grow stronger now and face their enemies head on. He says that alone, the fear they have might be too much to bear, but they're all beside each other. He yells that there is nothing to fear since they're not alone. Hades says Natsu's words are empty and that he will end them. Everyone resolves to not give up despite not having any magic power, and they rush to attack Hades. Hades asks them what they can do with such a small amount of power, and then, he orders his demons to dance. Natsu trips while running to battle, but Lucy and Wendy grab him and throw him forward. Gray and Erza then kick Natsu further forward, allowing Natsu to close in on Hades. A big explosion then occurs on Hades ship.[224]
After the explosion, Natsu was able to punch Hades in the face. Hades says this is impossible and wonders how his dark magic had no effect. He realizes his magic is gone as Natsu punches him again. Hades realizes his heart was destroyed, which was done by Happy and Carla. Back on Tenrou Island, Rustyrose says that the heart was the secret to Hades' great magic and longevity, the "Devil's Heart." Natsu attacks Hades more with big barrage of kicks and punches. After Ultear has fully restored Tenrou Island, Natsu and everyone gets their magic power returned. After more attacks on Hades, Natsu declares that this their victory; however, Hades pushes Natsu back saying that the devil will not sleep until he has defeated them. Laxus then punches Hades in the face and tells Fairy Tail to attack now. Lucy uses Capricorn, Wendy uses the Heavenly Dragon's Wing Attack, Gray uses Ice Bringer and Erza uses Tenrin - Pentagram Sword to attack Hades. Natsu then attacks, first with the Wave Dragon's Special Technique Revision, then with Crimson Explosion Lightning Blade. Hades is apparently defeated by this, and Natsu yells as "This is our guild!" as the sun rises on Tenrou Island.[225] The battle ends and the Exceed finally arrive while being chased by Grimore Heart members. Natsu and the others have already run out of Magic, but then the members in the camp come to the rescue. While the others are enjoying their reunion, Natsu is seen being fired up to continue the exam. He is reminded by Gajeel that he has severe wounds, but he says that he still has his newly acquired lightning-enhanced powers... Before collapsing to the ground, exhausted. Erza comments it's because he ate something other than fire.
After the war is over, Natsu rests at the camps base with the rest of his guild mates. The rest is cut short when Acnologia arrives and starts attacking the guild members. Makarov uses his Titan Magic to hold off the Dragon, and tells the guild to run and heed his final order. Natsu along with the others try to protest, but when he is grabbed by Laxus and sees the tear in his eye he agrees.
Ignoring Laxus's protest, Natsu goes back and fights Acnologia, along with the rest of the guild who follows him. As Fairy Tail is fighting, a mysterious girl watches with a smile and clasps her hands. Acnologia eventually flies into the sky, and preapares to destroy the island with one final attack. All the Fairy Tail members on the island hold hands, as Tenrou Island is destroyed by the Acnologia's Dragon Breath.[226]
X791 arcEdit
Natsu returns with the other members of Fairy Tail
Once Tenrou Island reappears, the new Fairy Tail Guild finds Natsu buried in some dirt.[227] Natsu who wakes up, suprised to see them there and confused about how much Jet and Droy have aged. He says that they were hit by Acnologia's attack and then wonders where everyone else is, and Natsu watches as Mavis reveals that she was the one who saved them using Fairy Sphere. Natsu and the others then return to the Fairy Tail Guild, and as Romeo is about to be attacked by Teebo and his gang, Natsu kicks Teebo across the room. He is then seen along with all of the other Fairy Tail members who were lost 7 years ago and says that we're home. Natsu sees Romeo and says he's all grown up. Romeo cries in happiness and welcomes back Natsu and everyone.[228]
At the party celebrating their return, Natsu is impressed by Romeo's new Fire Magic abilities. Romeo reveals to Natsu he had been taking classes from Totomaru. Natsu asks to come, but Romeo says it would be best not to, as Totomaru still holds a grudge against Natsu.[229] Later on, after Natsu and Happy realize they have no savings at their house, they follow Lucy to see her father, hoping he would lend them something. When they arrive at Love & Lucky, and Lucy asks to see her father, they are informed that Mr. Heartfilia had died one month ago.[230]
Magic and AbilitiesEdit
Fire Dragon's Roar
Fire Dragon Slayer Magic (火の滅竜魔法 Ka no Metsuryū Mahō): He is adept with his Dragon Slayer Magic and makes use of it in many different ways in combat.[231][232][233] As with all Dragon Slayers, he can consume his respective element, with the exception of that which he has created, to replenish his energy reserves. The heat of his fire can increase in temperature, which is proportional to Natsu's emotional state. Natsu subconsciously used this against Erigor; his flame's heat significantly rose as he got more enraged. This is also called the Flame of Emotion.[234] He incorporates the flames he ignites into his fighting style, greatly increasing the damage of his blows.[235] As such, Natsu's Magic revolves around the usage of fire that can spout from any part of his body.[236][237] Natsu's ability to eat flames gives him immunity to most types of flames and allows him to spew fire from his lungs.[238] This fire is exceptionally strong - equivalent to a dragon's fire - being able to burn even through metal.[239] He can even use his flames to create a propulsive effect.[240] The type of fire he uses can be changed. For example, it can be solidified to cling to surfaces.[241]
Fire Dragon's Roar (火竜の咆哮 Karyū no Hōkō): Natsu breathes a long line of fire that becomes a large fireball, which burns his opponent.[242]
Fire Dragon's Claw (火竜の鉤爪 Karyū no Kagitsume): Natsu ignites his feet with a very large flame to increase the power of his kicks. He can also use the strong ensuing flames to jet-propel him in any direction he wishes.
Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (火竜の鉄拳 Karyū no Tekken): Natsu engulfs his fist in large flames and punches his opponent which makes his opponent fly away.[243] Natsu renamed this ability Cat Fire (猫ファイアーNeko Faiā) while wearing cat mask.
Fire Dragon's Wing Attack (火竜の翼撃 Karyū no Yokugeki): Natsu takes hold of his opponent and ignites his arms and hands on fire, in the form of dragon wings as support, to throw them far away while burning them.[244]
Fire Dragon's Sword Horn (火竜の剣角 Karyū no Kenkaku): Natsu ignites his entire body on fire in order to ram into his opponent at full speed, then launch them high into the air with his large horn of fire.
Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame (火竜の煌炎 Karyū no Kōen): Natsu creates fire on both hands, and brings them together, creating a giant explosion that destroys everything around him. In the anime, he ignites both of his hands and combines the flame, but instead of creating a giant explosion, he throws a very large fireball at his enemy, blowing them away.
Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow (火竜の炎肘 Karyū no Enchū): After Natsu ignites the tip of his elbow, he uses that flame to strengthen his fist, and rocket the opponent high in the air.
Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang (火竜の砕牙 Karyū no Saiga): With his hand ignited with a large flame, he gouges his hand into his enemy and quickly swipes his enemy away from his sight.
Dragon Slayer's Secret Art (滅竜奥義 Metsu Ryū Ōgi):
Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist
Crimson Lotus: Fire Dragon's Fist (紅蓮・火竜拳 Guren Karyū Ken): Lighting his hands on fire, Natsu rapidly punches his opponent. Each punch causes a fiery explosion. This attack was used to defeat Gajeel, the Dragon Slayer that uses iron, and as an added result, had enough destructive power to destroy the entire guild building of Phantom Lord. In the anime, Natsu defeated Erigor with it in battle.
Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade
Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade (紅蓮・爆炎刃 Guren Bakuenjin): After a series of destructive attacks, Natsu finishes with a torrent of blade-shaped flames that strikes the enemy in a spiral formation. Every time the enemy is hit with a blade, it explodes and burns the enemy. Described as the ultimate Dragon Slayer technique, this attack is so powerful and destructive that it has been shown to smash through dragon scales ---- which is known to have extremely tremendous endurance capabilities. This attack was used to defeat Laxus, the Dragon Slayer that uses Lightning, and even caused Gildarts to take two steps back.
Hidden Fire Form: Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Sword
Hidden Fire Form - Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade
("不知火型" - 紅蓮・鳳凰剣 "Shiranui Gata" : Guren Hōō Ken): Natsu ignites his entire body with the power of the Flame of Rebuke. He then charges towards the enemy and delivers a devastating punch that blows up the enemy, then proceeds to headbutt him. This is also described as The Ultimate Dragon Slayer Technique and the Dragon Slayer's Hidden Art, Sea Fire Style. This could be Natsu's strongest attack, as not even Flame Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade was able to defeat Zero's strongest attack, though this may be because Exploding Flame Blade focuses on piercing penetration instead of mass destructive damage. This unstoppable and destructive attack was used to defeat Zero.
Dragon God´s Brilliant Flame
Dragon God's Brilliant Flame (竜神の煌炎 Ryūjin no Kōen): The same as the Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame, but on a much larger scale. Natsu summons flames on both fists just like the original technique, but combines Fire Dragon's flames on his right hand with Fire God flames on his left hand. The moment he brings them together, he creates a giant explosion powerful enough to destroy the surrounding area and blow the enemy a major distance away. Used to defeat Zancrow.
Lightning Flame Dragon Mode
Lightning Flame Dragon Mode: After eating Laxus Dreyar's lightning and having the flame and lightning inside his body fused together, Natsu gained the ability to use his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic enhanced with lightning.[245] Even though it was momentary, Natsu is able to call upon it when he is in a state of anger. Using this puts a heavy strain on his body.[246]
Lightning Flame Dragon's Roar: An alternate, enhanced version of the Fire Dragon's Roar, performed when the user has been empowered with lightning. He/she combines such lightning with his/her fire, gathering them within his/her mouth and subsequenly releasing them towards the opponent. This generates an extremely large and destructive sparking blast, which produces an immense amount of light and is capable of travelling for great distances, wreaking havok wherever it passes, as shown when it crossed the distance of half Tenrou Island generating a large explosion. This spell leaves a huge strain on the user's body.
Lightning Flame Dragon's Fist: An alternate version of Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. After having been empowered by lightning, user creates a sphere of such element around his/her fist and uses it to strike the target, electrocuting and damaging them. While empowered by Laxus Dreyar's Lightning Magic, Natsu Dragneel has been noted to combine the flames from his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic with the lightning inside his body, allowing him to punch the opponent with fire and consecutively have a lightning bolt strike them.
Lightning Flame Dragon's Brilliant Flame: An alternate, more powerful version of Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame. User, after having been enhanced by lightning, creates a certain amount of such lightning on his/her left hand, and combines it with the flames he/she produces on his/her right hand. Their contact generates a very large, sparking explosion around the targeted enemy.
Dragon Slayer's Secret Art (滅竜奥義 Metsu Ryū Ōgi):
Crimson Lotus: Exploding Lightning Blade: An enhanced version of Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade, the spell was used by Natsu Dragneel to defeat Hades, empowered by Laxus Dreyar's Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic. After having consumed lightning, the user engulfs one hand with the said lightning and the other with flames from his/her Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. Then, by swinging his/her arms around, he/she extends such elements in length, creating a vortex of fire and lightning which greatly damages the opponent and pushes them away from the user with great force.
Dragon Force (ドラゴンフォース Doragon Fōsu): By consuming Etherion and the Flame of Rebuke respectively, Natsu achieved Dragon Force. This Magic is said to be the final and most powerful state a Dragon Slayer can attain in which the user's body turns into that of a dragon. Their Magic Aura becomes visible and their Dragon Slayer powers increase tremendously.
Transformation (変身魔法 Henshin Mahō): Natsu has mastered the rudimentary skills of Transformation Magic. He was able to transform into Lucy successfully on his first try.
Fire Dragon Slayer Doll
Ushi no Koku Mairi (丑刻の参り Ushikoku no Sanri): During his fight with Kain Hikaru, Natsu briefly gained possession of Kain's doll, Mr. Cursey, and utilized its abilities.
Fire Dragon Slayer Doll: Natsu uses his Fire Dragon Slayer techniques and ignites Mr. Cursey with a Lucy hair. The fire appears on Lucy causing no harm to her and granting her the ability to use it at her advantage.[247] (Unnamed)
Fire Dragon's Iron Fist (Lucy Version): While using Fire Dragon Slayer Doll, Lucy, under Natsu's control, punches her opponent with great force. (Unnamed)
Secret Attack: Lucy Fire (必殺・ルーシィファイア Hissatsu : Rūshi Faia): While being controlled with Mr. Cursey and after Natsu has ignited her, Happy uses Max Speed to make her whole body catch on fire and accelerate, culminating in an extremely fast fire-enhanced attack on the enemy.[248]
Enhanced Smell: Natsu has a very keen sense of smell. His nose is so sharp that just by being around Kaby he could tell that he was poor, despite the fact that he was using his friends' mansion to try to trick Team Natsu into believing he was rich.[249] He also was able track Ultear despite the distance between them.[250]
Enhanced Strength: Natsu has shown on numerous occasions to possess an incredible degree of strength, enough for him to commit feats such as stopping the gargantuan Dorma Anim's foot, which was going to stomp on him and his fellow Dragon Slayers, all by himself, subsequenly throwing the robotic dragon off balance by rapidly pushing it away.[251]
Immense Durability: Natsu has shown himself to have incredible durability. He managed to take continual, deadly assaults which would have killed a normal human from powerful enemies in most of his fights, and, despite this, to still stand up to fight, and eventually obtain the victory: such astonishing resistance was first shown during his battle with Erigor, in which, no matter how many times Natsu got hit by his opponent's bursts of cutting wind, he still managed to defeat him.[252] Also, during his fight with Cobra, Natsu displayed a natural resistance against the Oración Seis' member's poison, described as lethal and corrosive.
Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: Natsu is an extremely proficient unarmed fighter, often using his Dragon Slayer Magic in combination with punches, kicks, and even headbutts to combat his opponents to great effect.[253] Such skill is paired with amazing physical prowess: aside from his strength, Natsu has displayed high degrees of speed, agility and reflexes, enough for him to match melee-specialists of Erza's calibre in battle.
EquipmentEdit
Sealed Flame Blade
Sealed Flame Blade: When Natsu couldn't use his Dragon Slayer Magic in Edolas, he fought using an Edolas form of Magic in the form of a destructive flame blade. However, the blade was depleted after one use due to Natsu's lack of skill with it and his usual excessive nature when he fights.[254] (Formerly)
Igneel's Scarf: It is a scarf given to Natsu by Igneel; Natsu always wears it to remember him.[2] It is a white scarf that has scales on it. It is something similar to a charm that protects Natsu from harm. It protected Natsu from Zeref's Death Magic, but the exposure to the death Magic turned it black.[255] During the time when it was tainted, Wendy was unable to heal Natsu. In order to heal him, she had to reverse and remove the tainted evil within the scarf.[256]
