Erza vs. Kagura

Fairy Tail is back, picking up where it left off, in the middle of the Grand Magic Games! But during a short break, Gajeel leads Natsu and Wendy to the underground dragon burial ground. Wendy uses her magic to communicate with a dragon's soul, which leads to them getting a revelatory history lesson involving two of their greatest foes!

King of the Dragons

In the dragon graveyard, Arcadios explains to Fairy Tail what he needs from them to make Project Eclipse work. He takes them to the king's palace, Mercurius, and shows them Eclipse, the actual portal designed to take a party back in time to kill Zeref! But not everyone in the kingdom is on board with changing history...

The Eclipse Project

While everyone is focused on the last event at the Grand Magic Games, Team Natsu slips into the palace to try to spring the imprisoned Lucy. Meanwhile, Mavis, the progenitor of Fairy Tail, uses wartime strategy in a bid to lead her team to victory!

Fairy Tactician

During the final event of the Grand Magic Games, Gray is tasked with beating Rufus, which is the key to Sabertooth's fall. But it seems to be a one-sided battle as Rufus uses his Memory Magic to make new magic, as well as causing Gray to forget his own!

Gray vs. Rufus

Sabertooth has a new master! And Fairy Tail may be on top of the Grand Magic Games, but below the palace, Natsu and the others are still trapped in Palace Hell. And then things get worse when the hunters become the hunted... by the Garou Knights!

The Hungry Wolf Knights

Though their appearances may be foolish, the Garou Knights are the strongest executioners in the kingdom! And now, the members of Fairy Tail's "away team" are separated from each other and forced into one-on-one combat against the knights.

Fairy Tail vs. Executioners

When Lucy and Yukino get their Celestial Spirit keys back, they summon various old comrades to combat the goofy-looking but powerful Uosuke, master of natural disasters!

Scorching Earth

It's the last round of the all-out battle between the members of the Fairy Tail rescue team and the Garou Knights! But if Natsu, Lucy, and the others triumph, will they become enemies of the state?!

Our Place

The Lucy rescue team led by Natsu finally makes it out of Hell Palace after an epic battle with the Garou Knights... but they're stopped dead in their tracks by a single mysterious figure before them!

The Kingdom 'til Tomorrow

Natsu's "away team" has successfully rescued Lucy and Yukino, but now they're puzzling over the mystery of the two Lucys! And back in Crocus, Erza's battle against Kagura truly begins, a battle steeped in vengeance more than sport!

Future Lucy warns of an impending attack by a swarm of over 10,000 dragons, but does she have a solution? And is she even telling the truth? Jellal, for one, doesn't think so!

The end of the Grand Magic Games is near, and only the strongest wizards remain in the final battle. But Gajeel has become a new form to battle an unknown shadowy evil! With her wounded leg, Erza can barely fight against the deadly Minerva! And Laxus is up against possibly the most powerful wizard of all: Jura of the Ten Wizard Saints!

Roaring Thunder!

The Grand Magic Games are ending at last! But who will be the last wizard standing? And which guild will be crowned the strongest in Fiore?

Gloria

Lucy wasn't the only time traveler from the future. There's one more... and it's the person who possessed Rogue in his match with Gajeel. But is his motive the same as Lucy's or something more sinister?

The One Who Closes the Gate

Natsu takes on the future Rogue by himself so Lucy can get away, but the future version is a lot more powerful than the present one and possibly evil! Meanwhile, Princess Hisui slowly opens the gigantic Eclipse portal to harness its incredible amount of magic power against the invading swarm of 10,000 dragons. Except... the dragons they've been warned about from future Lucy and future Rogue are nowhere to be found...

Natsu vs. Rogue

The true menace of the opened Eclipse portal becomes clear as one dragon after another lumbers through, intent on murdering everyone. Only a Celestial Spirit wizard can close the portal, but will Lucy be able to do it before all 10,000 dragons enter the world from 400 years in the past?!

For Me, Too

Seven dragons have invaded Crocus from the ancient past and are tearing up the city. It seems the only thing that can defeat a dragon is a Dragon Slayer, but there are only six in town (including Natsu, Rogue, Sting, etc.), so Doranbolt goes on a mission to enlist the aid of a certain nefarious Slayer...

Seven Dragons

Seven dragons came through the Eclipse portal before it was closed... but now one of them drops dozens of eggs that hatch immediately! Plus: Sabertooth turns a new leaf! Cobra fights on the side of good?! And Zirconis uses magic to make clothes disappear, which proves to be particularly embarrassing for Lucy!

Zirconis' Magic

The battle rages on between dragons and Dragon Slayers with the future at stake! Natsu carries out his audacious plan against a powerful Fire Dragon... a dragon that happens to have a connection with Igneel, Natsu's adoptive father!

People and People, Dragons and Dragons, People and Dragons

Jellal and Erza are saved from Millianna's wrath when Ultear comes to their aid, explaining to the woman that she is the evil behind the Tower of Heaven incident. With the Mages of Fiore struggling against the attacking Dragons and hatchlings and neither Natsu nor Future Rogue gaining an advantage in their fight, many people begin to feel doubtful about surviving the war. Concurrently, Gray falls to one of Motherglare's minions protecting Juvia, and Ultear decides she no longer deserves to live after the darkness she has brought to those around her.

Sin and Sacrifice

As several wizards across Crocus are cornered and killed by the dragons, Ultear recalls her forbidden Last Ages spell, which is capable of reversing time at the cost of the user's life. After deciding to atone for for her lifelong misdeeds, she casts the spell in an attempt to avoid the dragons' arrival in the present. Afterward, she discovers that only one minute has been reversed and collapses. As a result of her spell, however, the wizards are able to foresee and prevent their own deaths, including Gray's. Lucy reunites with her friends at Eclipse and reveals that, according to her future self's notebook, they can return Future Rogue and the dragons to their respective time periods by destroying Eclipse once and for all.

Time of Life

The only way to stop the rogue Rogue from the future and the seven dragons from the past is to destroy the gigantic time portal that they came through... except it's made out of Magnanium alloy, which is highly resistant to magic! Then, the future Lucy is dead, but long live future Lucy?! What lies in wait when her body dematerializes from the present?

Fields of Gold

The king is holding a ball at the palace to honor the wizards of Fiore for their valor during the Grand Magic Games and their great efforts to protect the kingdom from Future Rogue and the seven dragons. Everyone is having a good time except for the nagging feeling that something is wrong when Natsu doesn't show up. Later, Princess Hisui is forced to take responsibility for her part in the peril that beset the kingdom.

The Grand Banquet

As Jellal and Merdy search the ruins for Ultear, they run into Doranbolt, who tells them of a serious spell he cast in order to protect the royal family. Meanwhile, the members of Fairy Tail are on their way home when Gray spots an elderly woman who seems heartbreakingly familiar...

Droplets of Time

Upon returning to Magnolia, Fairy Tail gets a heroes' welcome and their old headquarters back. Anxious to get back on the job, Natsu, Lucy and company take on what they assume to be the simple task of ridding a village of its mole problem. They assume the village is making a mountain out of a molehill, but...

A Gift

A special one-off episode featuring Frosch! When Rogue's lovable little partner gets lost in town, Rogue, Sting, and Yukino find him, but hang back so he can return to the Sabertooth guild hall alone. Misadventures ensue as Frosch keeps meeting up with various guild members and encounters a group of larcenous frog traders!

Welcome Back, Frosch

A newly-installed pool table at the Fairy Tail guild hall has Erza reminiscing about the first time she shot pool... which was also the first time she came across a certain bandit, the quickest draw on the continent.

Moulin Rouge

Lucy wants to show her Celestial Spirits that she appreciates all their hard work, so she summons them one by one to make their wishes come true. Natsu and Happy are on hand to help out, but as often happens with the unpredictable, unstable Celestial Spirits, chaos ensues!

Full Effort Hospitality!

The world is racked with abnormal weather and natural disasters, conditions that keep all the Fairy Tail wizards busy. Natsu and Lucy take on a job to investigate major changes in celestial bodies, only to find it's a set-up. When they're attacked by a giant sea slug, none of Lucy's regular Celestial Spirits answer her calls for help. But as if to answer this mystery, Virgo appears, although her appearance and attitude are way off the mark. In fact, it seems that what Virgo wants most is to punish Lucy!

Signal of Rebellion

Lucy's transformed, evil Celestial Spirits aim to perform a ritual that will give them "absolute freedom." As Lucy, Yukino, and Levy head to the Magic Library to find a clue to stop them, Natsu takes the fight to the Celestial Spirit World itself, and he encounters the more polite but deadly Taurus!

Library Panic

Princess Hisui and Arcadios are on their way to Fairy Tail when they fortuitously run into Natsu, Lucy, and Yukino. Princess Hisui has created something to send the wayward Celestial Spirits home by force, but the mother and son duo of Pisces appears to snatch it. And, like the other Celestial Spirits, this is a new, darker version of their previous selves. For example, the mother Pisces now has much bigger jaws...

Hisui Rises!

The Fairy Tail cavalry arrives in Astral Spiritus to help Natsu and the gang try to stop the renegade Celestial Spirits from gaining perfect freedom at the cost of only having 12 days left to live. However, when the Spirits enter their respective gates, the Fairy Tail members split up to follow them for one last fight in the space between the Human World and Celestial Spirit World.

Astral Spiritus

The new version of Aquarius is a light-hearted girl who just wants to have fun, but that consists of wanton destruction with her water power. Wendy and Carla try to gently subdue her at some kind of pocket universe amusement park, a dubious prospect at best.

Wendy vs. Aquarius - Let's Have Fun in the Amusement Park!

Ophiuchus, the Snake Charmer

The two Fairy Tail groups go on attack mode, trying to destroy the celestial globe and Ophiuchus simultaneously, the only way to stop the mad Celestial Spirit King from gaining ultimate power. Of course, that's much easier said than done...

When the Stars Fall

Natsu and his fellow Fairy Tail members come face to face with the eclipsed Celestial Spirit King... except the king is now more like a giant fiend without a face! Or more like he's got a giant vacuum cleaner tube for a face, which he uses to suck up his own planet, the captive Celestial Spirits, and if they're not careful, the Fairy Tail Wizards!

Celestial Spirit Beast

The end of an arc! At the Celestial Spirit Beast's core, Natsu and Happy discover the original Celestial Spirit King, chained up and heading for imminent destruction.

Juvia has known Gray for 413 days; hence, it's a time to celebrate their "anniversary." But when Erza encourages her to get Gray a present, it becomes a conundrum. Juvia takes several stabs at coming up with an appropriate gift, but will it please Gray on this day that has a special meaning for him?

413 Days

Transform!

Natsu and Happy get a new addition to their family: Kemokemo, an unknown creature hatched from an egg that fell out of the sky. Natsu goes on a guild exchange program so he can ask all over Fiore about Kemokemo, but he, Gray, and Erza cause trouble at every guild on the trip.

It's Kemo-Kemo!

The Place You Came To
