Top 10 Fairy Tail Moments (Featuring Todd Haberkorn!)

Fairy Tail’s resident lightning bolt is something of a bad boy, it’s just a shame his rebellious stage involved throwing the guild into chaos and nearly frying Natsu to a crisp. While Laxus would eventually come to regret his actions, it still resulted in his expulsion, swiftly followed by a tear-jerking farewell between himself and his grandfather Makarov. Of course, the thunder dragon was never going to stay hidden for long. After Hades took down his gramps, Laxus makes an epic return via a lightning headbutt. We also have to give him extra credit for helping Natsu to achieve Lightning Fire Dragon mode, that was awesome!

What? You mean the sweet and caring Mira has dark side? Surely not! Well, when her beloved brother is threatened, the gloves come off. Just as Thunder Legion member Freed is about to put an end to Elfman, Mira snaps and unleashes her own Take Over. The result is her trading in her smile for something a little more satanic. You almost have to feel sorry for Freed on this one, as the elder Strauss sibling holds nothing back and proceeds to go on a demonic rampage, leading to his swift and brutal defeat.

From the very beginning, we were all made aware that the only parental connection Natsu has was with the dragon known as Igneel. The only problem was that he along with all the other dragons suddenly disappeared, leaving out favourite hot-headed mage with more than a few abandonment issues. Turns out that Igneel was closer than he thought, as during the scuffle with Acnologia he reveals that he had been inside Natsu this whole time. As you might have expected, their reunion involves a lot more shouts than hugs, but its heart-warming nonetheless.

Word of advice, never mess with Grandpa Makarov. While initially put out of commission by the likes of rival guild Phantom Lord, the old geezer makes the mother of all comebacks when he steps into the ring to take on Guild Master Jose. Understandably pissed that his beloved children were put in harm’s way, Gramps busts out the fearsome spell known as Fairy Law. Considering said spell was strong enough to one hit KO Jose and put a stop to Phantom Lord, we’d say this moment easily reinforced why Makarov is the OG of mages.

We’ve seen Natsu get fired up plenty of times over the course of the series, but nothing compares to the time he accessed his inner dragon. Atop the Tower of Heaven, Natsu’s determination to save Erza from a Zeref-possessed Jellal leads him to ingest Etherion. While this would normally kill most people, it gives Natsu the boost he needs to transform himself into a humanoid dragon and finish the fight. This is followed by the ever so satisfying sight of him utterly destroying Jellal, but then again what did he expect? He messed with Natsu’s crew!

#5: Natsu vs. Gildarts

Top 10 Fairy Tail Fights (Ft. Todd Haberkorn - Voice of Natsu!)

While he seems to get stronger after every single fight, there will always be mages leagues above Natsu’s ability. One of them happens to be former Fairy Tail Guild Master and guy who loves walking through walls; Gildarts. Despite his laidback attitude, his strength is off the scale, so much so that he was able to shrug off Natsu’s best attacks with ease. However, his most defining moment came when he showed off his true power, in a display of such superiority that it forced Natsu to do the unthinkable; surrender.

In spite of their quirkiness, the Strauss siblings for the better half of the series have been haunted by the death of their younger sister. However, much to everyone’s jubilation, it turned out that Lisanna wasn’t killed but rather sent to the parallel world of Edolas. While it took some convincing, Lisanna eventually cross returns with Natsu and the rest back to Earth Land, leading to a reunion with Mira and Elfman that left many fans weeping in joy. What do you mean am I crying? TODD HABERKORN DOESN’T CRY!

Have we mentioned that Erza Scarlet is a badass? Because Erza Scarlet is a total badass. During the preliminary round of the Grand Magic Games, Erza decides to go all the way and earn Fairy Tail the maximum number of points by defeating a hundred monsters all at once. Does she accomplish this? Of course she does! Cycling through her various armours and weapons, Erza’s skills are on full display as she slices apart one creature after another. But what else would you expect from Titania?

It’s a Dragon Slayer battle royale as fire and iron take on the combined strength of light and shadow. In what has to be the highlight of the Grand Magic Games arc, Natsu shows the new guys on the block that despite being out of commission for seven years, he’s stronger than ever. Even when up against two Dragon Force users and a Unison Raid, Natsu still manages to overcome them with fierce determination, and a serious amount of flames. By far one of the series’ most epic moments, it just a shame that Gajeel got shafted on the glory! Before we reveal our number one pick, here are a few honourable mentions. Iron Shadow Dragon Mode Gildarts Saves Cana Last Ages

Despite the battle with Acnologia ending on a rather cataclysmic note, we were all convinced that Natsu and company would easily find a way out of it. We were then proven dead wrong, as in truth seven years have past by and Fairy Tail has become a shell of its former splendour, to the point where other guilds were muscling in on its territory. As heart-breaking as it was to see events turn out this way, the sudden reveal that the others had indeed survived and finally made their way home had us cheering our asses off. Pfft, as if they could kill off Natsu!
