**[00:17] ---**
You're that black wizard...
**[00:21] ---**
What brings you here?
**[00:23] ---**
Wait, is that Mavis you're holding?!
**[00:27] ---**
She's been missing for a whole year.
She had us worried!
**[00:32] ---**
Are you the only person here?
**[00:35] ---**
Yeah. Everyone's getting ready
for the harvest festival.
**[00:38] ---**
After Mavis disappeared, I wound up
serving as temporary master.
**[00:43] ---**
Master?
**[00:45] ---**
Oh, right. This is a guild.
**[00:50] ---**
I came to return Mavis.
**[00:56] ---**
H-Hey! You can't throw her around like that!
**[01:01] ---**
She's not a doll!
**[01:05] ---**
These are her remains.
**[01:09] ---**
No matter how far, far away we are
**[01:13] ---**
you just need to keep on believing
**[01:16] ---**
So, please, stop crying, look up...
**[01:20] ---**
...and let's move forward together
**[01:38] ---**
Why do you look down
**[01:40] ---**
and stare at the tears you've shed?
**[01:45] ---**
Even if today is a bust
**[01:47] ---**
we can always walk forward with faith in tomorrow
**[01:52] ---**
Having someone who can reach out to me
**[01:56] ---**
and someone I can laugh with
**[01:59] ---**
gives me a new strength
**[02:04] ---**
that can change the world as we know it
**[02:06] ---**
No matter how far, far away we are
**[02:11] ---**
you just need to keep on believing
**[02:14] ---**
everything is for you for you
**[02:16] ---**
The morning sun has driven the night away
**[02:21] ---**
I won't be afraid or hesitate anymore
**[02:24] ---**
I'm going to turn my dream into reality
**[02:28] ---**
So, please, stop crying, look up...
**[02:33] ---**
...and let's move forward together
**[02:41] ---**
Hey! Mavis!
**[02:43] ---**
Mavis! Are you okay?!
**[02:45] ---**
What happened?!
**[02:48] ---**
Is she asleep?!
**[02:49] ---**
Yes. Asleep forever.
**[02:56] ---**
Pleasant dreams, Mavis.
**[03:00] ---**
Who... are you?!
**[03:04] ---**
Zeref.
**[03:07] ---**
Hmm...
**[03:09] ---**
If Mavis was a fairy,
**[03:10] ---**
then I suppose you could say
I'm a spriggan--a hideous fairy.
**[03:18] ---**
"Fairy Heart"
**[03:22] ---**
I'm so tired...
**[03:26] ---**
I don't want to see anyone...
**[03:29] ---**
Oh, yes...
**[03:31] ---**
I'll play my simulation game some more.
**[03:34] ---**
I won't have to worry about
running into anyone in Alakitasia.
**[03:41] ---**
It was wrong of me to try and love someone.
**[03:46] ---**
It was wrong of me.
**[03:50] ---**
Zeref?
**[03:52] ---**
He's... the legendary black wizard Zeref?!
**[03:58] ---**
Mavis! What happened?!
**[04:01] ---**
What happened between you two?!
**[04:06] ---**
Are you really dead?
**[04:11] ---**
No... Her heart is still going.
**[04:15] ---**
She's no longer alive,
but I do sense some faint magic power.
**[04:20] ---**
I need to revive her immediately!
**[04:23] ---**
As I recall, there's a revival lacrima
in the guild's basement!
**[04:33] ---**
And that's how my body came
to be sealed inside a lacrima.
**[04:41] ---**
He tried many different resurrection spells,
**[04:45] ---**
but not a single one had any effect.
**[04:51] ---**
Eventually...
**[04:52] ---**
Precht, being the exceptionally
talented wizard that he was...
**[04:56] ---**
...realized I had been stricken
by the curse of Ankhselam.
**[05:01] ---**
It can't be... Was Rita's death
actually caused by...?
**[05:07] ---**
I can't...!
**[05:09] ---**
I can't let the other members
know about this!
**[05:15] ---**
And that is how it became a secret.
**[05:22] ---**
In 697, Precht opted to tell
the others that I had died.
**[05:30] ---**
An empty grave was placed
on Tenrou Island, our guild's holy land.
**[05:37] ---**
Tenrou Island was my homeland,
**[05:40] ---**
and it was where I met Precht and the others.
**[05:47] ---**
The same year, Precht became
Fairy Tail's second master.
**[05:53] ---**
He did so as per my living will.
**[05:57] ---**
While Precht performed
his duties as guild master,
**[06:01] ---**
he also devoted himself to reviving me.
**[06:04] ---**
Three years later, in 700...
**[06:07] ---**
...Makarov's father, Yuri, passed away
**[06:10] ---**
without ever learning
the truth of his wife's death.
**[06:13] ---**
Precht continued to try to revive me
for the next 30 years or so,
**[06:18] ---**
but then the situation took
an unexpected turn.
**[06:22] ---**
Precht possessed unparalleled
knowledge and talent
**[06:27] ---**
while my life was preserved
in a semi-permanent state
**[06:31] ---**
due to my inability to age or die.
**[06:34] ---**
These elements combined to create
an inexplicable form of magic...
**[06:43] ---**
Magic that would rock
the wizarding world to its very core.
**[06:52] ---**
The everlasting magic: Fairy Heart.
**[07:01] ---**
Everlasting magic...?
**[07:04] ---**
What does that entail?
**[07:06] ---**
It is literally everlasting. It's limitless.
**[07:10] ---**
It offers magic power that will never dry up.
**[07:13] ---**
Say what?!
**[07:15] ---**
It's a source of magic you can use forever?!
**[07:18] ---**
Take, for example, the Etherion weapon.
**[07:23] ---**
It was the old Council's ultra magic spell
**[07:25] ---**
that could wipe out a nation with one blast.
**[07:29] ---**
The Fairy Heart contains enough magic energy
**[07:32] ---**
to fire an infinite number of Etherion blasts.
**[07:35] ---**
No, it's not quite correct to say
that it "contains" magic energy.
**[07:42] ---**
Because it's limitless.
**[07:45] ---**
If word of this got out...
**[07:47] ---**
The wizarding world would
get thrown into upheaval.
**[07:51] ---**
Ivan once coveted it, in fact.
**[07:54] ---**
It seems word of it leaked out
and reached Alvarez, too.
**[07:59] ---**
So Alvarez is gonna invade us
to try and get the Fairy Heart...
**[08:03] ---**
But why? They're already
super strong as it is.
**[08:09] ---**
My guess is that they hope
to defeat Acnologia.
**[08:13] ---**
Even Zeref himself
considers him to be pure evil.
**[08:17] ---**
Wait, does that mean Acnologia is so strong
**[08:19] ---**
that that's the only way to beat him?
**[08:23] ---**
That's insane...
**[08:26] ---**
Um, I know this is a simple question...
But if we have something this powerful,
**[08:32] ---**
can't we just use it to make
Alvarez and Acnologia go boom?
**[08:37] ---**
You know, boom!
**[08:38] ---**
You make a good point.
**[08:41] ---**
I briefly considered using it
to stop all those countless Faces.
**[08:45] ---**
We could've had a short-term victory
**[08:49] ---**
but there was no telling
what might happen afterward.
**[08:52] ---**
What if, for example,
we lost control of the Etherion
**[08:55] ---**
and it continued to rain
limitless destruction on us all?
**[09:00] ---**
Sorry for asking...
**[09:02] ---**
We can't fight a poison
with another poison, after all.
**[09:06] ---**
Poison? We're talking about
our first master's body, you know.
**[09:10] ---**
The Fairy Heart must never be released
into the world, no matter what.
**[09:16] ---**
Yeah! Goes without saying!
**[09:18] ---**
It's our first master's body anyway!
We won't let anyone take it!
**[09:25] ---**
I never imagined the magic
resulting from my sin
**[09:28] ---**
would cause any of this or that
it'd drag you into this mess, too.
**[09:32] ---**
Sin?
**[09:35] ---**
How is loving someone a sin or a crime?!
**[09:39] ---**
I couldn't arrest you for that.
**[09:47] ---**
What's yer problem?!
**[09:50] ---**
First Master. You mustn't blame yourself.
**[09:55] ---**
It was just a series of
unfortunate events, that's all.
**[10:01] ---**
Without you, Fairy Tail
would never have existed.
**[10:06] ---**
Which also means...
**[10:07] ---**
We never would've met each other.
**[10:10] ---**
Right?!
**[10:13] ---**
You're the one who brought all of us together.
**[10:19] ---**
We want to protect the guild you created!
**[10:23] ---**
That's why we're gonna fight!
**[10:29] ---**
Your guild has grown into
something wonderful, First Master.
**[10:33] ---**
Sob...
**[10:35] ---**
It's so sad that you have to fight
the person you once loved...
**[10:41] ---**
That was a long time ago.
**[10:44] ---**
Zeref is now a threat to all of mankind.
**[10:48] ---**
We must defeat him.
**[10:50] ---**
Still, even if we manage to
deal with Alvarez's army...
**[10:55] ---**
...Zeref himself can't age or die, right?
**[10:58] ---**
Meaning he's immortal?!
**[11:00] ---**
Meaning he can't die?!
**[11:05] ---**
How do we defeat him, then?
**[11:12] ---**
Leave that to me!
**[11:15] ---**
I'll take down Zeref.
**[11:19] ---**
My right arm here holds a "secret weapon!"
**[11:33] ---**
Oh! You're always such an A+, Lady Brandish!
**[11:40] ---**
Could you do these nails, too?
**[11:43] ---**
Of course! I'll wholeheartedly
paint them with the greatest of care!
**[11:48] ---**
Oh, such a lovely foot! A+!
**[11:51] ---**
So, if it's not too much to ask,
**[11:54] ---**
do you think you could
return me to normal size now?
**[12:00] ---**
Randi.
**[12:01] ---**
Mary.
**[12:03] ---**
Rumor is going around that you
let the troublemakers escape.
**[12:07] ---**
I didn't let them escape.
I just didn't feel like dealing with them.
**[12:12] ---**
Yeah! I tried to tell her it was a bad idea!
**[12:16] ---**
Oh, you're an A+, too, Lady Dimaria!
**[12:20] ---**
Turn him back to normal.
**[12:22] ---**
He's like a talking insect. It's disgusting.
**[12:24] ---**
--Insect?!
--Too much of a hassle.
**[12:26] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[12:29] ---**
Everything's a hassle for you.
That's why you need him.
**[12:33] ---**
The Spriggan 12 have been
ordered to convene.
**[12:37] ---**
I suggest you use his magic to get there.
**[12:46] ---**
Lady Brandish! Wh-What are you--?!
**[12:49] ---**
I don't like her. She's not cute at all.
**[12:52] ---**
In your terms, she's an F-.
**[12:56] ---**
Please spare me...
**[12:59] ---**
So...?
**[13:00] ---**
What is this "secret weapon" of yours?
**[13:03] ---**
--It's a secret.
--What?!
**[13:06] ---**
That's what makes it a secret weapon!
**[13:08] ---**
Quit acting all mysterious!
**[13:09] ---**
What kind of secret do you
got in your right arm?!
**[13:12] ---**
Still, knowing Natsu, it must be
something really special!
**[13:19] ---**
It sounds like you know what
this "secret weapon" is, too.
**[13:23] ---**
Maybe!
**[13:24] ---**
I'm impressed you can look so smug
**[13:27] ---**
even though it's not even your own secret.
**[13:30] ---**
Anyway, I can only use this
technique one time,
**[13:33] ---**
but I invented it specifically to beat Zeref!
**[13:38] ---**
I'm 100% sure it'll take him down!
**[13:39] ---**
Oh!
**[13:43] ---**
Only one time?!
**[13:44] ---**
So it really is a secret trump card!
**[13:47] ---**
Yep!
**[13:48] ---**
If he's so sure, then I'm convinced.
**[13:52] ---**
Indeed, his confidence is
encouraging to hear.
**[13:57] ---**
He's really something!
**[13:58] ---**
He instantly boosted everyone's morale!
**[14:01] ---**
Aye!
**[14:03] ---**
That's Natsu for ya.
**[14:10] ---**
I do have several strategies of my own,
**[14:14] ---**
but for now I'll leave it to Natsu.
**[14:18] ---**
Master!
**[14:19] ---**
--Yes?
--Uhh... the old man one.
**[14:24] ---**
Could you tell us about the enemy
we're about to fight?!
**[14:27] ---**
Mm. That's a good question.
**[14:30] ---**
I'll tell you everything that I do know.
**[14:35] ---**
First, Emperor Spriggan.
**[14:37] ---**
Here in Ishgar, he's known as
the mightiest black wizard of all: Zeref.
**[14:45] ---**
And beneath him is an elite force
known as the Spriggan 12.
**[14:52] ---**
During my year there,
I only managed to meet six of them.
**[14:56] ---**
Because it's such a large region,
it's apparently quite rare
**[15:00] ---**
for all of them to get together.
**[15:09] ---**
Seven members...
**[15:11] ---**
I'm impressed so many are in attendance
despite the sudden notice.
**[15:14] ---**
Actually, Sir Neinhart is also
in the palace, but, well...
**[15:20] ---**
That's all right.
**[15:22] ---**
It is not all right.
**[15:24] ---**
Defying Your Majesty's orders
tarnishes the Twelve's name.
**[15:29] ---**
Invel, the Winter General.
**[15:31] ---**
He is Zeref's chief of staff...
**[15:34] ---**
...and his chief administrator.
**[15:35] ---**
Given his title, I believe that
he uses ice-based magic,
**[15:40] ---**
but I don't know any details.
**[15:43] ---**
Ice...
**[15:44] ---**
Don't be such a stick in the mud, Invel.
**[15:47] ---**
We can just start with
everyone who's here.
**[15:50] ---**
A small, elite force
would be nicer anyway.
**[15:53] ---**
Ajeel, the Desert King,
**[15:55] ---**
is the sand wizard we
encountered during our escape.
**[15:59] ---**
He's one of the Twelve's most
aggressive members.
**[16:04] ---**
Him...
**[16:06] ---**
As you've likely already surmised,
**[16:09] ---**
we're finally about to begin
our invasion of Ishgar.
**[16:13] ---**
What a hassle.
**[16:15] ---**
Now don't say that, Brandish.
**[16:18] ---**
You agreed to follow my orders, remember?
**[16:21] ---**
Of course.
**[16:22] ---**
My feelings and my actions
are two separate things.
**[16:25] ---**
Even if it's a pain,
I'll do anything you order.
**[16:28] ---**
Brandish, the Nation Destroyer.
**[16:31] ---**
She isn't particularly aggressive,
**[16:33] ---**
but she has enough magic power
to wipe out entire countries.
**[16:37] ---**
We encountered her before,
on Caracol Island.
**[16:41] ---**
I believe she uses magic that
can alter an object's mass.
**[16:47] ---**
You say everything you think.
That's why everyone hates you, Randi.
**[16:51] ---**
Oh? I hate them, actually.
**[16:56] ---**
I see. It's no wonder
we see eye-to-eye, then.
**[17:00] ---**
Dimaria, the Warrior Queen.
**[17:02] ---**
I don't know what magic she has,
**[17:04] ---**
but she's a knight revered as
a goddess of the battlefield.
**[17:10] ---**
--She's a knight? Not a wizard?!
--You're hardly one to talk.
**[17:14] ---**
God Serena.
**[17:16] ---**
Will scorching your homeland
be painful for you?
**[17:25] ---**
Painful, it is...
**[17:27] ---**
...not!
**[17:35] ---**
Creep.
**[17:45] ---**
Thank you.
**[17:47] ---**
God Serena, the mightiest
of the Ten Wizard Saints.
**[17:51] ---**
He's a disappointment of a man
in every sense of the word,
**[17:54] ---**
but I know how powerful
he is more than anyone.
**[17:59] ---**
I still can't believe our top-ranked
Wizard Saint is now our enemy.
**[18:04] ---**
I wonder why he deserted Ishgar.
**[18:07] ---**
I doubt there's any way to know
without asking him personally.
**[18:11] ---**
I'm gonna arrest that dirty traitor!
**[18:16] ---**
Your Majesty.
**[18:17] ---**
All of us are now ready for
the final war of Ragnarok.
**[18:23] ---**
August, the Wizard King.
**[18:27] ---**
Be especially wary of him...
**[18:29] ---**
From what little I know,
he's on a completely different level.
**[18:32] ---**
He possesses tremendous magic power
**[18:35] ---**
that makes the others' pale in comparison.
**[18:41] ---**
I've heard he can use every manner of magic
from every region of the world.
**[18:47] ---**
He might even wield more types
of magic than Zeref himself.
**[19:00] ---**
Those are the six I have knowledge of.
**[19:03] ---**
I only know the names of three others...
**[19:07] ---**
Bloodman.
**[19:10] ---**
Neinhart.
**[19:12] ---**
And Wall.
**[19:14] ---**
In short, our target is the body
of your former lover.
**[19:18] ---**
A truly sinful act, indeed...
**[19:21] ---**
Not quite.
**[19:23] ---**
The Fairy Heart is a form
of magic. Not a person.
**[19:27] ---**
Plus, the Fairy Heart is not the only goal.
**[19:31] ---**
We will also wipe out Ishgar.
**[19:34] ---**
Humanity must be temporarily exterminated.
**[19:37] ---**
Humanity, huh...
**[19:40] ---**
We are simply playing pieces.
**[19:43] ---**
An interesting interpretation, indeed.
**[19:48] ---**
It's perfect.
**[19:51] ---**
Now, let us formulate our strategy.
**[19:54] ---**
Hey, mind if I do it all myself?!
**[19:58] ---**
We'll now devise our strategy.
**[20:00] ---**
Please listen well, everyone.
**[20:03] ---**
No. I can't let you do it all.
**[20:07] ---**
This is a full-scale assault.
**[20:10] ---**
Zeref will come at us with his entire army.
**[20:13] ---**
That's crazy! I can easily handle it myself!
**[20:17] ---**
God Serena was the strongest guy
on their continent!
**[20:20] ---**
Which means I could annihilate
them by myself!
**[20:24] ---**
That would normally be fine.
**[20:26] ---**
But an all-out attack by our
entire army sends a certain message.
**[20:33] ---**
There's no question that we face
an overwhelming disadvantage.
**[20:38] ---**
And our foe is far more powerful
than any we've faced before.
**[20:43] ---**
The Dragon King Festival begins.
**[20:45] ---**
Let the invasion commence.
**[20:48] ---**
But we will prevail with
our courage and bonds.
**[20:53] ---**
Let's show them what our guild is made of!
**[21:08] ---**
My arm aches...
**[21:11] ---**
My arm that was eaten by the Flame Dragon.
**[21:17] ---**
The Dragon King Festival...
**[21:20] ---**
It's time for me to devour all.
**[21:39] ---**
I am King of the Dragons,
and the absolute being.
**[21:46] ---**
I am Acnologia!
**[21:50] ---**
Until you fall asleep, until you give that smile
**[22:00] ---**
You are beautiful to me more than anything
**[22:24] ---**
Under the same sky,
we look up at the same stars
**[22:35] ---**
May the dream we shared come true now
**[22:46] ---**
There's no doubt we can achieve
the future we wished for
**[22:59] ---**
as our harmonies connect
and stretch endlessly along this path
**[23:21] ---**
The Fairy Tail members spend
the night in their own way
**[23:24] ---**
before the battle for
the guild's existence begins.
**[23:28] ---**
But when Alvarez's vast army
comes soaring through the sky,
**[23:31] ---**
their short rest instantly transforms
into a tense situation.
**[23:35] ---**
As the city of Magnolia comes under attack,
**[23:38] ---**
Fairy Tail's bond of solidarity
is put to the test.
**[23:42] ---**
Next Episode: "The Magnolia Defensive War."
**[23:43] ---**
"The Magnolia Defensive War"
**[23:45] ---**
Waves of unforeseen threats
and despair will come crashing in.
