[00:16] ---
Lucy-san! Are you awake?!
[00:19] ---
Which match is it right now?
[00:21] ---
The first match just finished.
[00:24] ---
It looks like Blue Pegasus won.
[00:26] ---
The second match is just about to begin.
[00:29] ---
It's between Lamia Scale and Mermaid Heel.
[00:32] ---
I see... Then Natsu and the
others' match hasn't started yet.
[00:35] ---
Natsu-san said he'd come and
see you before his match.
[00:40] ---
Rest up a little more until then.
[00:43] ---
It's important for you to
get your strength back.
[00:47] ---
Thank you. I will.
[02:23] ---
Alright! The second match is next.
[02:26] ---
From Lamia Scale,
[02:28] ---
Lyon and Yuka!
[02:32] ---
And from Mermaid Heel,
[02:35] ---
Kagura and Millianna are competing!
[02:38] ---
Feelin' spiffy!
[02:40] ---
Let's feel the love for Mermaid Heel!
[02:43] ---
Yajima-san, what are your
thoughts on this match?
[02:46] ---
I wouldn't be surprised if either side won.
[02:49] ---
I'm certainly looking forward to this match.
[02:51] ---
Both Lyon and Yuka are strong opponents!
[02:53] ---
Millianna! Don't let your guard down!
[02:56] ---
Are you rooting for Mermaid Heel?
[02:59] ---
Yeah. We've known each other a long time.
[03:02] ---
It's only natural that
I'd want to support her.
[03:06] ---
Gray, you've known Lyon
for a long time, right?
[03:10] ---
Aren't you interested in this?
[03:12] ---
Not really.
[03:13] ---
We're in different guilds now and are rivals.
[03:20] ---
What's wrong, Natsu?
[03:23] ---
I was thinking that Lucy and Elfman would
probably like to see the matches, too.
[03:29] ---
In that case, let's watch
it carefully for them.
[03:33] ---
So we can tell them about it later.
[03:36] ---
Guess you're right...
[03:38] ---
Alright! I'll do it.
[03:43] ---
Battle of the Dragon Slayers!
[03:48] ---
I hope Mermaid Heel wins.
[03:51] ---
I've known Millianna since that
Tower of Heaven business, see.
[03:55] ---
I guess I'm rooting for Lamia Scale.
[03:57] ---
They've been a big help.
[04:00] ---
Certainly, we have a history
with Lamia Scale...
[04:03] ---
...but all of the Mermaid Heel
wizards are beauties, right?
[04:10] ---
Juvia, I guess you're cheering for Lyon, huh?
[04:13] ---
You've been approached by
Lyon more than once, right?
[04:15] ---
Having a woman's heart, you
must be interested, right?
[04:19] ---
Juvia... Juvia...
[04:22] ---
...wanted to stay on the team and
battle alongside Gray-sama...
[04:29] ---
That's it! There's still a chance!
[04:32] ---
If someone on the team gets injured during
the match, and they become short a person...
[04:38] ---
I knew that you were the only partner for me!
[04:42] ---
Kiss!
[04:44] ---
Juvia...
[04:47] ---
I'm overjoyed, Gray-sama!
[04:50] ---
No!
[04:51] ---
As a member of the guild, Juvia is a bad
girl for wishing injuries on her comrades!
[04:57] ---
But Juvia wants to be by Gray-sama's side!
[04:59] ---
And yet...! Juvia doesn't want
her guildmates to get hurt!
[05:03] ---
What should Juvia do?!
[05:05] ---
W-What's wrong, Juvia?
[05:07] ---
Is there something on your mind?
[05:09] ---
We'll give you good counsel, so
go ahead and share with us girls.
[05:15] ---
After this match is over,
[05:16] ---
the next one is between Fairy
Tail and Sabertooth at last.
[05:21] ---
All we need to do is have faith in them.
[05:23] ---
Let's take a load off and wait...
[05:28] ---
First Master!
[05:30] ---
Everyone, make sure you
look before you sit down.
[05:38] ---
Maybe...
[05:39] ---
...Jellal is watching this
match from the stands...
[05:44] ---
Millianna...
[05:46] ---
Focus.
[05:48] ---
I know!
[05:50] ---
At first, try fighting
this match on your own.
[05:54] ---
I'm going to hold back for a while.
[05:56] ---
I don't believe this! Why?!
[05:58] ---
So you can gain experience...
[06:00] ---
Match or not, this is a real fight.
[06:03] ---
How far can you battle
with just your own power?
[06:06] ---
You should try it.
[06:08] ---
Alright. I will!
[06:11] ---
Our opponents are two women.
[06:13] ---
But if we don't go all out against those
two, it's doubtful that we'll achieve victory.
[06:16] ---
That's because Kagura is one of them.
[06:19] ---
But if I strut my stuff for her...
[06:24] ---
...I'm sure she'll think more highly of me!
[06:26] ---
Hey, that might be a little cocky...
[06:29] ---
Hey! If you don't do this right,
I'll make the both of you spin!
[06:33] ---
The time limit is 30 minutes!
[06:36] ---
Alright, let the match begin-kabo!
[06:40] ---
Victory goes to the swiftest!
[06:44] ---
Cat Binding Tube!
[06:50] ---
Is Millianna fighting alone?!
[06:52] ---
Will she be okay against
opponents from Lamia Scale?
[06:56] ---
Kagura must have figured
she'd be able to handle it.
[06:58] ---
Let's leave it to her judgment.
[07:02] ---
Kagura-chan doesn't need to take part!
[07:06] ---
They're really making light of us...
[07:09] ---
They must be confident...
[07:11] ---
You... Mermaid Heel...
[07:15] ---
Lyon! Yuka! Do whatever
you have to do to win!
[07:19] ---
Show them how strong we are!
[07:23] ---
Kagura is just watching?
[07:25] ---
In that case, let's drag her to the party!
[07:27] ---
Ice Make: Eagle!
[07:33] ---
Don't ignore me!
[07:36] ---
Wave!
[07:41] ---
She's fast!
[07:42] ---
Kitten Blast!
[07:47] ---
A fake-out, huh?
[07:49] ---
Gotcha!
[07:50] ---
Cat punch! Cat punch! Punch!
[07:52] ---
There it is!
[07:54] ---
The first attack that's
landed is by Mermaid Heel!
[07:57] ---
Great! You're cookin' with gas!
[07:59] ---
She's totally relaxed as she fights.
[08:01] ---
Maybe it's because she feels
secure with Kagura behind her.
[08:07] ---
You ain't seen nothin' yet!
[08:10] ---
I train with Kagura-chan every day!
[08:15] ---
Secret weapon!
[08:18] ---
Scratch attack!
[08:20] ---
What's wrong? You're not
putting up any resistance!
[08:24] ---
This is a surprise!
[08:26] ---
Those two are the go-to wizards of Lamia
Scale, but Millianna isn't giving an inch!
[08:31] ---
It seems that both of her
opponents are flummoxed
[08:33] ---
by her quick, cat-like moves.
[08:36] ---
Ow... That girl is better than I thought...
[08:39] ---
If she weren't, it wouldn't be interesting!
[08:43] ---
Cat Binding Tube!
[08:45] ---
But...
[08:47] ---
...my wave can nullify magic attacks!
[08:51] ---
Huh. In that case, how's this?!
[08:54] ---
Cat Binding Tube!
[08:56] ---
Double! Triple! Uh...
[09:00] ---
A lot!
[09:02] ---
So you can produce several at once, huh?
[09:04] ---
My techniques are evolving, too!
[09:13] ---
Ice Make: Eagle!
[09:15] ---
She's doing it again!
[09:17] ---
You're just wasting your energy!
[09:25] ---
Well? How about giving up?
[09:28] ---
This is no good...
[09:29] ---
At this rate, I won't be able
to look cool in front of Juvia!
[09:34] ---
Hey, you're still worried about that?
[09:36] ---
But...
[09:38] ---
...I have brains as well as techniques!
[09:41] ---
This is the only thing to
do against a cat opponent!
[09:43] ---
Ice Make: Mouse!
[09:51] ---
A mouse! Whee!
[09:54] ---
Wait for me!
[09:58] ---
Don't insult my intelligence!
[10:00] ---
Next up is this!
[10:03] ---
Blow, blizzard!
[10:06] ---
I-It's cold...
[10:10] ---
Cats don't like winter...
[10:13] ---
A kotatsu!
[10:16] ---
Cats love kotatsus...
[10:20] ---
It's comfy and warm...
[10:26] ---
Would you stop treating me like a cat?!
[10:29] ---
I didn't think they'd trick Millianna
with that kind of method!
[10:32] ---
That's Lyon of Lamia Scale for you.
You can't be too cautious with him.
[10:36] ---
Um... Are you guys really that impressed?
[10:40] ---
Did you see that, Juvia?
My beautiful brain play!
[10:49] ---
She's turned off...
[10:51] ---
Lyon Vastia...
[10:53] ---
You haven't directly attacked Millianna yet.
[10:56] ---
Great! Great!
[10:58] ---
This is a tough battle for both
Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale!
[11:03] ---
Kabo! Kabo! Kabo!
[11:05] ---
Hey! Lyon and Yuka, quit standing around!
[11:09] ---
If you don't win this right
now, I'm gonna make you spin!
[11:12] ---
What happens if you get spun?
[11:14] ---
I can't really describe it,
[11:16] ---
but anyway, it's really bad for sure!
[11:20] ---
Obaba's right.
[11:21] ---
At this rate, we're gonna run out of the
30-minute time limit and it'll be a draw.
[11:25] ---
Then I have no choice.
[11:27] ---
I intended to save Kagura for last, but...
[11:29] ---
Ice Make: Snow Tiger!
[11:39] ---
I love cats, but tigers are another thing!
[11:48] ---
Kagura-chan... I'm sorry...
[11:51] ---
I suppose I have to participate after all...
[11:56] ---
So you've finally decided to play, Kagura!
[11:59] ---
I'll go first!
[12:00] ---
Wave!
[12:05] ---
An attack that nullifies
your opponent's magic, eh?
[12:08] ---
However...
[12:11] ---
...it's meaningless if your opponent
doesn't use magic attacks!
[12:16] ---
Good heavens!
[12:18] ---
Mermaid Heel's Kagura...
[12:20] ---
...is overpowering her opponent
with her sheathed sword!
[12:25] ---
Wave!
[12:29] ---
You're slow!
[12:36] ---
Incredible!
[12:38] ---
She's downed Yuka by not giving
him a moment to retaliate!
[12:42] ---
At last, it's just Kagura and Lyon!
[12:43] ---
One on one!
[12:56] ---
She beat one of them without
even drawing her sword?
[12:59] ---
Impressive...
[13:01] ---
Yeah. Kagura is an expert
with a sheathed sword.
[13:06] ---
Maybe she'd be a worthy opponent
for my Iron Dragon Sword.
[13:13] ---
W-Will Lyon be okay?
[13:16] ---
Even though he had a hard
time against Millianna,
[13:19] ---
going one on one against Kagura...
[13:21] ---
What? Lyon hasn't unleashed
his true strength yet.
[13:26] ---
Lyon! No matter what, you'd better win!
[13:29] ---
Show her your power!
[13:33] ---
I've heard about you.
[13:35] ---
You once went by the name "Reitei".
[13:37] ---
You attempted a dangerous ritual
in order to fight Deliora.
[13:42] ---
That was a long time ago.
[13:44] ---
Now, I'm Lyon, a wizard with Lamia Scale.
[13:47] ---
Nothing more or less.
[13:49] ---
But something about you reminds
me of the way I used to be.
[13:53] ---
Back when I was driven by hatred
and had lost sight of something...
[14:00] ---
Let me ask you one thing.
[14:02] ---
Why didn't you attack Millianna directly?
[14:05] ---
Did you hold back because she's a woman?
[14:08] ---
Or just because you didn't want
to reveal your strategy to me?
[14:12] ---
Who knows?
[14:13] ---
Maybe you'll find out when you fight me!
[14:16] ---
Ice Make: Dragonfly!
[14:23] ---
Ice Make: Eagle!
[14:28] ---
Kagura really is strong!
[14:30] ---
Is Lyon powerless to do anything?!
[14:33] ---
What are you doin', Lyon?!
[14:35] ---
And you were Ur's disciple?!
[14:38] ---
You're stronger than that!
[14:41] ---
Get your act together now!
[14:45] ---
He's right.
[14:47] ---
Show me what you've really got, Lyon Vastia!
[14:51] ---
Yeah. And we are running out of time...
[14:55] ---
Ice Make: Snow Tiger!
[14:59] ---
Ice Make: Snow Ape!
[15:03] ---
Ice Make: Snow Dragon!
[15:09] ---
I bet not even you will
be able to escape this!
[15:21] ---
You can create all these at the same time?
[15:24] ---
Still...
[15:35] ---
There it is! Her ace in
the hole, Gravity Change!
[15:38] ---
Yep! That's Kagura's magic!
[15:41] ---
Still, for Kagura to use Gravity Change,
[15:44] ---
it proves that Lyon guy is a tough opponent.
[15:47] ---
W-What power!
[15:55] ---
It ends here!
[15:59] ---
Time's up! 30 minutes have passed!
[16:02] ---
It's a tie-kabo!
[16:08] ---
The result is a draw!
[16:10] ---
It wasn't settled after 30 minutes!
[16:13] ---
So close!
[16:15] ---
Just a little more time and
Lyon would've been toast!
[16:18] ---
But a tie's a tie.
[16:21] ---
Ah, well, it looks like Kagura
isn't too bothered by it...
[16:25] ---
He squeaked by with a draw.
[16:28] ---
But what a close call...
[16:31] ---
This is what happens when
you've got girls on the mind!
[16:35] ---
When you get back here, you're
going to spin and spin and spin!
[16:39] ---
I'm gonna spin you like never before!
[16:42] ---
Kagura really is strong, you know?
[16:45] ---
And I don't think she was
pulling out all the stops...
[16:47] ---
It's the same every year.
[16:49] ---
Nobody's seen Kagura get
totally serious before.
[16:53] ---
Kagura-chan, I'm sorry...
[16:56] ---
That Lyon has natural aptitude.
[16:59] ---
If this had been a life-or-death
battle instead of a match,
[17:04] ---
you'd be dead right now.
[17:08] ---
Get stronger, Millianna.
[17:11] ---
I'm going to train you harder.
[17:13] ---
Right!
[17:14] ---
The crowd is still pumped
up here at the arena!
[17:16] ---
But don't take your eyes
off of the next battle!
[17:20] ---
At last!
[17:21] ---
Yep. At last...
[17:23] ---
At long last!
[17:24] ---
Finally...
[17:25] ---
...the time has come!
[17:26] ---
Natsu-san, Gajeel-kun, don't get hurt!
[17:30] ---
No injuries! Nobody is allowed to get hurt!
[17:34] ---
Why are you so obsessed with injuries?
[17:47] ---
Yo.
[17:49] ---
How do you feel?
[17:53] ---
I'm okay.
[17:55] ---
Is your match next?
[17:56] ---
Yeah. And I'll win it for sure.
[18:03] ---
Natsu...
[18:14] ---
Sorry, Lucy-san! We just went to check
out what's happening at the arena.
[18:18] ---
Oh! Natsu?
[18:20] ---
Wendy, Carla... Take care of her.
[18:23] ---
Good luck, Natsu-san!
[18:26] ---
Lucy! What were you talking about with Natsu?
[18:33] ---
You ready?
[18:35] ---
Yeah.
[18:36] ---
Let's make Lucy and the rest
happy by winnin' this thing.
[18:40] ---
Natsu!
[18:43] ---
Happy...
[18:47] ---
I'm sure all of our viewers have been
eagerly looking forward to this battle.
[18:55] ---
A fateful showdown between the
guild that was called the strongest
[18:58] ---
seven years ago and the
strongest current guild!
[19:02] ---
Fairy Tail's Natsu and Gajeel
[19:05] ---
versus Sabertooth's Sting and Rogue!
[19:10] ---
And all four of them are Dragon Slayers.
[19:13] ---
All four possess anti-dragon magic.
[19:17] ---
Sting-kun...
[19:20] ---
I've been waiting for this moment.
[19:27] ---
The White Dragon, Weisslogia...
[19:29] ---
The Shadow Dragon, Skiadrum...
[19:32] ---
Show me...
[19:34] ---
Have humans surpassed dragons?
[19:40] ---
Or is that just a fleeting dream?
[19:43] ---
It is almost time for us to act...
[19:46] ---
The Festival of the Dragon
King is almost upon us.
[19:54] ---
The dream Dragon Slayer
showdown is finally happening!
[19:58] ---
Sock it to 'em!
[19:59] ---
Get 'em for us, too!
[20:01] ---
I have faith you'll win!
[20:04] ---
It's about to start.
[20:07] ---
I'm sure Natsu will be okay.
[20:09] ---
I'm sure he'll win!
[20:12] ---
The time to clash is here at last!
[20:14] ---
Who will win, Fairy or Tiger?!
[20:16] ---
All four dragons are on the battlefield!
[20:21] ---
Fight to the best of your ability.
There's nothing else to say.
[20:27] ---
I've been waiting years for this, Natsu-san.
[20:37] ---
I've been looking forward to it, too-kabo!
[20:41] ---
The time limit is 30 minutes!
[20:43] ---
Let the match begin!
[20:46] ---
Here I go!
[20:47] ---
Yeah!
[20:59] ---
Roar of the White Dragon!
[21:03] ---
A laser?!
[21:11] ---
Slash of the Shadow Dragon!
[21:21] ---
Rogue!
[21:30] ---
Wingbeat of the Fire Dragon!
[21:33] ---
W-What's this?!
[21:36] ---
Sting and Rogue...
[21:38] ---
The Twin Dragons of Fiore's
strongest guild are on the ropes!
[21:43] ---
He really is strong... But I'd
be disappointed otherwise.
[21:46] ---
Gajeel...
[21:48] ---
Did you two really defeat
dragons with power like that?
[21:52] ---
Not defeat...
[21:54] ---
I killed a dragon with this very hand.
[21:57] ---
Wasn't it your parent?
[22:00] ---
It's got nothin' to do with you.
[22:02] ---
From now, I'm gonna show you
the power that killed a dragon!
[22:07] ---
White Drive...
[22:11] ---
Shadow Drive.
[22:19] ---
Let's go!
[23:56] ---
Finally... Finally, it's come!
[23:58] ---
It's here, huh?
[23:59] ---
My...
[24:00] ---
Natsu's...
[24:01] ---
...time to shine!
[24:03] ---
I don't know if these guys are new
generation Dragon Slayers or what,
[24:07] ---
but I'm gonna kick that blond poser's ass!
[24:10] ---
Do your best, Natsu!
[24:14] ---
Next time: Four Dragons!
[24:16] ---
And then I'm gonna beat up the
remaining dark-haired duo!
[24:19] ---
You're including Gajeel...
[24:21] ---
Ah, whatever... Do your best, Natsu!
