Fairy Tail facts

lucy from the Beatles

The inspiration for Lucy's name comes from a song by the legendary band The Beatles. The song is the famous “Lucy in the sky with diamonds”

Lucy's ideal boyfriend

Early on in the series, Lucy had a list of names that match her ideal boyfriend. At the top of the list was Seigrain, also known as Jellal.

Three characters, one voice

Ur, Ultear, and Virgo are voiced by the same seiyuu, Miyuki Sawashiro.

horned natsu

Yes, the protagonist of the series should have horns protruding from his head. This is supposed to be a reference to Natsu's past with Igneel or with Zeref.

Makarov's death

Originally, our dear Guild Master, was destined to die in the Tenrou Island Arc after Acnologia's attack. But as usual, he didn't die, just like countless other characters.

Mavis -> Mavis

In Mavis' original design, she was a man. But thank goodness, the author had some common sense.

Cardcaptor Lucy

Lucy was originally intended to use cards instead of keys for her celestial spirits. It was changed because it looked a lot like a specific anime.

Duration of Ultear

Ultear is considered the longest-running antagonist in the series. She is the only villain to have been present in three major arcs of the series. which are: Garuna Island, Tower of Heaven and Tenroujima.

Titania, queen of the fairies

Erza Scarlet's title is a reference to a Shakespeare play entitled "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The fairy queen in the play is known as Titania.

red natsu

Originally, Natsu would have a red suit instead of a black one. But it was changed because it would be difficult to distinguish the suit from its flames.

Acnologia

Acnologia, pronounced as Aku no Logia, literally means "Oracles of Evil".

Spoilers

Spoilers are summed up in a few words. Zeref is Natsu's brother. The problem is that theoretically Natsu and his parents died 400 years ago. However, Zeref did everything he could to get Natsu back. The rest is not even worth commenting on, because they are all very easy to predict cichês.

Apart from the fact that Natsu is over 400 years old. Calm down, he was sent to the future by the eclipse. A type of magical door that on occasion can open a rift in time and space.

Yes, there will be a lot of fighting in the end. It is also important to highlight, Zeref met Igneel in the past, and together they devised a plan to defeat Acnologia. For those who don't know, Acnologia is the Dragon Slayer who, by killing so many dragons, ended up becoming one of them.

This one was the one who killed Igneel. Calm down, Igneel wasn't in top form, but he was still killed. Moving forward, the plan was to send Natsu to the future, and there, Igneel would teach Natsu Dragon Slayer magic.

Zeref's brother has an obligation to be just as strong. And Natsu lives up to expectations. But we have to wait a little longer to see this in anime.

What is your sentiment on Fairy Tail?

Fairy tail - information, story, and curiosities

And this was today's article. And if you liked this story and don't know where to buy it, calm down. All volumes of the manga are available on Amazon for purchase. Remembering that there are several parallel series to the canonical history.

Anyway, this is the story of Fairy Tail. The clichés are totally exaggerated and there's a good plot behind it. And speaking of cliché. Did you know that Natsu and the main protagonists of the anime are imortais? Protagonists always have the tendency not to die, and that's a fact. The problem is when this becomes pathetically exaggerated.

In Fairy Tail, clichés are taken to extremes, almost childish. If you've watched it, you know how it is, but I don't know if you have the same opinion. The fact is, the plot is good, the problem is when it comes to serious tension. Just a shout from Natsu for him to evolve his power and defeat all enemies.

But anyway, if you have any questions, suggestions, criticism, any extra information or something, just leave your comment. Also share the page on social media to help the site. Anyway, thanks for reading to the end, bye.
