Fairy Tail 100 12 months Quest‘s first episode sees Natsu and the gang settle for a frightening problem: journey throughout the continent of Guilitina and slay the 5 Dragon Gods. I’ve already talked about how cool baseline dragons are, however the 5 Dragon Gods exist in a category of their very own.

However who’re these draconic deities, and why does the gang’s patron, Elefseria, need them useless? Fairy Tail 100 12 months Quest’s manga has been going robust since 2018, however I’ll attempt to keep away from spoiling issues for anime-only Fairy Tail followers.

The Dragon Gods; deific origin story

The 5 Dragon Gods’ story begins 4 hundred years earlier than Fairy Tail’s plot kicks into gear. On this primordial period, Dragons dominated the world, and humanity lived in fixed terror of the skies above them. Nonetheless, as time handed, many dragons acknowledged humanity’s potential and renounced their predatory methods, wanting to stay harmoniously with the species they as soon as hunted.

Relations between the dragons who had been and weren’t prepared to stroll the trail of peaceable coexistence bent till they broke, ushering in an apocalyptic struggle that historical past would identify the Dragon King Competition. When the tide turned in opposition to them, the peace-seeking dragons started instructing their human allies the best way to wield dragonkind’s innate elemental magic, creating the primary Dragon Slayers.

Sadly, Dragon Slayer Magic quickly revealed itself as a corruptive power that mutated most of its wielders into power-crazed dragons. One Dragon Slayer specifically, Acnologia, turned so insatiably bloodthirsty that he massacred dragons on either side of the struggle, pushing the species to the sting of extinction.

Whereas the dragons who would go on to coach Natsu Dragneel, Wendy Marvell, Gajeel Redfox, Sting Eucliff, and Rogue Cheney discovered refuge from Acnologia inside their wards’ souls, the 5 Dragon Gods escaped demise by bailing on the Dragon King Competition altogether. Fleeing to Guilitina, the 5 Dragon Gods laid low for hundreds of years, amassing energy and affect till every turned highly effective sufficient to rival Acnologia.

How robust are the 5 Dragon Gods?

As their collective epithet implies, the 5 Dragon Gods’ energy borders on the divine. Every member of the pantheon embodies their elemental affinity’s most damaging points, and Elefseris claims that every member of the pantheon is on par with Acnologia. In case you’ve forgotten, the apply-named “Black Dragon of the Apocalypse” was so mighty that Fairy Tail’s different overarching huge unhealthy, Zeref, constructed an empire for the only real goal of killing the fallen Dragon Slayer… and he nonetheless did not cease him.

With the ability of nature itself at their beck and name, the 5 Dragon Gods are, indubitably, the deadliest foes Natsu and the gang have ever confronted. That mentioned, the wizards of Fairy Tail have confirmed themselves to be at their greatest when their backs are in opposition to the fireplace, and I can’t wait to see how Fairy Tail 100 12 months Quest adapts their bouts with the 5 Dragon Gods.
