Curiosities about Fairy Tail
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 in the series, Lucy had a list of names that matched as an 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.
Natsu with horns
Yes, the protagonist of the series was supposed to have horns coming out of his head. This was meant to be a reference to Natsu’s past with Igneel or Zeref.
Makarov’s death
Originally, our dear Guild Master was destined to die in the Tenrou Island Arc after Acnologia’s attack. But as always, he did not die, just like countless other characters.
Mavis Gender Swap
In Mavis’s original design, she was a man. But thank God, the author had a bit of common sense.
Cardcaptor Lucy
Lucy was originally intended to use cards instead of keys for her celestial spirits. It was changed because it resembled a specific anime quite a bit.
Ultear’s duration
Ultear is considered the longest-lasting antagonist in the series. She is the only villain who has been present in three major arcs of the series: Garuna Island, Tower of Heaven, and Tenroujima.
Titania, queen of the fairies
Erza Scarlet’s title is a reference to a play by Shakespeare titled “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The queen of the fairies in the play is known as Titania.
Red Natsu
Originally, Natsu was supposed to have a red outfit instead of a black one. But it was changed because it would be difficult to distinguish the outfit from his flames.
Acnologia
Acnologia, pronounced as Aku no Logia, literally means “Oracles of Evil.”
Spoilers
Spoilers are summarized 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 to bring Natsu back. The rest isn’t worth mentioning, especially since they are all clichés that are quite easy to predict.
Besides the fact that Natsu is over 400 years old. Calm down, he was sent to the future by the eclipse. A kind of magical door that can open a rift in time and space on certain occasions.
And yes, there will be a lot of fighting at the end. It is also important to highlight that 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 same one was the one who killed Igneel. Calm down, Igneel was not in his full form, but he was still killed. Continuing, the plan was to send Natsu to the future, and there, Igneel would teach Natsu the magic of Dragon Slayer.
Zeref’s brother is obliged to be as strong as him. And Natsu meets the expectations. But we have to wait a little longer to see this in the anime.
What is your opinion about Fairy Tail?
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. Remember that there are several parallel series to the canonical story.
Anyway, this is the story of Fairy Tail. Totally exaggerated clichés and a good plot behind it. And speaking of clichés, did you know that Natsu and the main protagonists of the anime are immortal? The protagonists always tend to not die, and this is a fact. The problem is when this becomes pathetically exaggerated.
In Fairy Tail, clichés are taken to the extreme, becoming almost childish. If you’ve watched it, you know how it is, but I don’t know if you share the same opinion. The fact is, the plot is good; the problem is when it comes to serious moments of tension. Just one shout from Natsu is enough for him to evolve his power and defeat all enemies.
But anyway, if you have any questions, suggestions, criticism, extra information, or anything like that, just leave your comment. Also, share the page on social media to help the site. Anyway, thank you for reading until the end, goodbye.
