The bit with Levy crying was such an eerie cliffhanger when this aired, having to wait 2 years to find out was a nightmare

The fact Natsu not even using his lightning mode is such a flex

This was the last ep before the anime went for a hiatus. That's why it feels like the finale of the arc. Seeing Levy in the end surprisingly made me tear up a little even after all these years. Now we say goodbye to the old art style and enter FT 2014

Natsu giving Sting a taste of his own medicine is literally iconic!!!

Remember when Sting said he could beat Acnologia? So hilarious 😂

It's finally time for Fairy Tail 2014! It gets crazy from here on out

When levy and lucy become 3rd person narrators at the end it becomes so lit 🔥 fire Of course natsu is the goat as always

people love to call this fight plot armor, but the real truth is sting and rogue just weren’t ever very strong to begin with. they just were always hyped up, and since they didn’t have any more dragon slayers to compete with, they were seen as the strongest.

I love the fact that Elfman was the first fight to put on the feeling of respect on the first day vs Baccus

"Zeref's got a kid?" Um...😅

Fun fact: In other translations, Levy said to Lucy in her letter; "They died, even though we loved them" instead of "That person died, and that one too, even though I loved..."🙃😭

Seeing Natsu dominate both Sting and Rogue after he sent Gajeel rolling down that mine shaft is one of the best highlights of the series, in my opinion for all Sting's bragging and boasting he never really stood a chance even with Dragon force activated

私は日本の視聴者です！お二人の反応を毎回楽しみにしています！

the fact that Natsu defeated two dragon slayers with activated dragon force without using his lightning fire mode is impressive

This was a great fight. Absolutely love the 👆🏽. And that one point coming back to bite Sabertooth was satisfying. Can’t wait to see what I think of the new animation.

When you guys reach that certain episodes you will realize why natsu is so OP (not because he's the mc)

I know you guys are ahead on patreon but it's nice to see you guys finish season 1 of Fairy Tail kn the KZfaq side of things. Can't wait to see the rest going forward. Love you guys

I'm excited for the new style of animation now

Would love to have higher sound from the anime just a bit so we can still hear you guys more but also hear a bit of the anime :D

Natsu is immensely powerful, he didn’t even need dragon force or lightning flame dragon mode to even match there power lol.

To us who grown up watching FT that episode is very emotional. I don't had read the mangá at that time, so I waited so long to discovered what happened hahaha The Levy speach on the final make me tear up, and thinking about it now, she said "that person died" and she's not liying. The second part of this arc is unbeliavable, is crazy, Ultear has the BEST charachter developement. And I can't even discribe how Erza vs Kagura vs Minerva is AMAZING. One of the bests fights of this second part from anime. Thank you for your reaction guys, I've been here since episode one, look how far we've came

The next Arc is my favorite arc in Fairy Tail. And the Opening too 🔥🔥

Natsu soloing the twin dragons, hard af. Now Dragon's graveyard, Levi's writting, Zeref person reveal, the plot thickens

This episode was aired in March 2013 and the next episode came one year later in April 2014! Imagine waiting 1 year after this cliffhanger.. Luckily I started watching FT in 2016. So never had to wait. 😁😁

The Grand magic game can be broken into 2 arcs ... when fairytail rose up the ranks and the Elipise arc... this episode transitiona the two.

Lets say goodbye to Magic circles and good animation 😭😭

Me making an evil laugh about the mistery person's true identity and the magic games final day battles (peak of the arc)

I remembered this cliffhanger way back. If i remember right, it was a yesr or two before Fairy Tail 2014 started back up

Natsu is GOATed for a reason gajeel ep is gonna come too, both are goated dragon slayers

Next episode (176 or episode 1 - 2nd season you may call it)....during the opening scene,I meant not the opening song....at that moment only Natsu & Lucy got to showed up....please look carefully at Lucy & see what did she lost.

Natsu: You two won't be on my level

AMAZING ANIMATION COMING, LETS GO

Now imagine being an anime only viewer, having these 3 cliffhangers being setup only to have it go on hiatus for TWO YEARS because it did so well that it caught up too close to the source material at the time. It was one hell of a painful part to leave off on and one more episode would have been a much better part to leave off on. The only thing leaving this off on here did for a positive was encourage a good discussion about the show and the potentials of each cliffhanger and what they meant.

My deepest respects to the architect who designed the arena and the people who built it. They broke through the floor and several levels down and blasted a big hole into the side, but did it crumble? No. Not a single audience seat fell down, you can't even see any cracks running through the construction up there. That's really great construction! Hmmm... the twin dragons weren't bad guys? Are you sure? They proudly professed time and again that they killed their adoptive fathers with their own hands and then either cut off or ripped out a piece of thir corpses to implant it into themselves. Not to mention how much of a kick Sting got out of Lucy being tortured (though Rogue turned away and closed his eyes, bless his heart). By the way did you notice how Natsu only used fire? He didn't even need to pull out lightning flame dragon mode to win, meaning the stomped them without going all out. "It's giving me chills" I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it's supposed to do. :P I am of two minds with Levy's narration. In the anime it felt unsettling to me that someone other than the dedicated narrator or Lucy was narrating from the very start of the arc. And if you pay attention you notice it's Levy's voice, so the big surprise that it is her is somewhat diminished, only extending to her being scarred and bandaged and about what she's saying. In the manga on the other hand you just see the text and don't know that it's not Lucy doing the narration like usual and then *bam* "IT WASN'T LUCY, IT WAS LEVY!", adding a bigger shock moment than the anime did. Both work in their own ways and even if it didn't, I can't really see how else they could have done it in the anime anyway without resorting to cheating by having Lucy narrate the initial bits until the Levy reveal comes this episode (which would suck).

Next episode will be having some changes because they changed animation studio on that point. So magic circle will be no longer there in the next episodes of Fairy Tail and the artstyle are more closer now to the manga source.

Last scene still gives me chills fvck

Next episodes are insane!

A premonition of the end. A lot of people seem to miss what that Levy scene really means, be it because of disbelief or memory (Specially those who watched this and had to wait a year), but it's such an incredible moment and it's so impactful on both the first watch when it surprises you, as well as on a rewatch when you have the context and actually know what happened.

The major different between the Dragon Slayers generation is not that they been taught by actual dragons or got implant with a lacrima ! The main different lied on their body !! First gen Dragon Slayers can not activate Dragon Force on their will because their body must be on the perfect condition to hold it power, while 3rd gen Dragon Slayer can activate it on their will because they just ignore the fact that their body can't hold the power !! That's lead to the result that 1st gen's Dragon Force seem weak in destructive power, but in contrast, their attack hold more force, deal more damage ! 3rd gen's Dragon Force unleash more power, meaning their spell were much more destructive, BUT that's also mean they consume more mana, and will soon got tired !! While 1st gen's Dragon Force last longer because their mana were not for unleash spells, but for strengthen their body to withstand the power of the technique ! 3rd gen's Dragon Force consume tons of mana just for some fancy spells that not sure could do any damage to actual Dragons or other 1st gen Dragon Slayers. They just good at destroying things around ! All that informations bring up a fact ! That's true Dragon Slayers or the 1st generation Dragon Slayers are using their ability to mimic the power of a real Dragon. They literally a "Dragon in human form" when they are manage to activate Dragon Force !! While 3rd (and 2nd) generation Dragon Slayers are just "human wizards who trying to be strong as a Dragon", they not a true Dragon Slayers, and their ability though strong, but not enough to deal with real Dragons like the true Dragon Slayers !! This theory are come with a fact that only 1st generation Dragon Slayers could actually kill a Dragon in a fair fight ! The 3rd gens will just tickling them with their fancy spells !

I just would like to say: Welcome to FT 2014 and the Dragon King Festival 😂

And so, the first season of Fairy Tail ends with this episode. The next season is known as "Fairy Tail 2014". After this episode the anime took a one year break until the next season came out in 2014. Until this episode Fairy Tail was produced by A-1 Pictures and Satelight. But later the anime was produced by A-1 Pictures and Bridge (and CloverWorks in the last season). You will see drastic changes in animation visuals.

it has been over 10 years and I still remember every beat and every dialogue of this fight.I love Fairy Tail!

Yeah. It was Gajeel that died.

No beam struggle, he just blasts it away.

Oh man now starts fairy tail 2014 version with some serious moments and pain 😔😔😃😃

You guys reaction in the end is what I really expecting to happen I love it. :D Can't wait for ya guys to move to the next season :D

Fun Fact: when Fairy Tail first aired this was the finale, there was more story obviously but anime took a break after this episode and then came back

12:28 "Zeref got a kid?" LMFAOOOO 13:11 Everything is a Jojo reference. (Just wait till the Tartaros arc) Gajeel is as strong as Natsu. Just doesn't have a trump card like "lightning flame dragon mode"... yeah I'll leave it at that. Fairytail gets so much hate but is a great anime. The plot twists are crazy and this tournament arc is better than the other ones I've seen imo (> Dbz, Naruto, Hxh, etc)

I was fortunate to only have to wait 6 months or something like that compared to a full two years!

I love the fact that natsu beat them without second-origin nor Dragon force

natsu himself without the lightning mode was stronger than sabertooth master at this time. He could destroyed the entire guild that night xD

you thought it was colonel , wrong ! it was always me DIO ! KONO DIO DAAAAAAA !

MASAYUME CHASING CHASINGGG...!!!!! na na na na na na na nan a~ god i love second 2ND FT opening! 2014 best opening still !

Thanks 🙏 guys for u reaction this season 😇

natsu one of those fighters, you don't wanna have a prolonged brawl with, you gotta take him down quick and hard. Otherwise, he's what happened here, you think you cooking, but you're getting cooked.

at least y’all have the next episode available i’ll never forget the pain of that cliffhanger and a year long hiatus

Battle between With Real Experience vs Without Real Experience 😂 Thats why they're losing.

Y'all aint ready.

Waiting for the next episode was what made me realize how much patience i had back in the day 😂😂😂 i read the manga but i just prefer anime so it was a nightmare waiting and waiting..

2014 fairy tail will have a darker transition

I still remember the years of waiting............new fans got it easy

👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾season 2 let’s go

congratulations fax for defeating zoro king in the fairy tail guess who contest. it was a fun game for us fellow fairy tails fans😁

Can you guys please react to noragami

This would be the perfect time to watch the pool OVA 😂

realizing that the next arc will be painful 🥺💔

Ngl, Anybody know why they aren’t reacting to Blue Lock? It gave them a shit ton of views on the first episode compared to their other reactions, Then they just never reacted to it again, and it was airing pretty well, Season 1 almost ending so idk why they stopped.

Season 2 is gonna be lit this is my favorite season of Fairy Tail my favorite arc is coming

This is the last episode, Imagine us waiting for 3 years to wait for what happened to the next day on the next episode😭

I love natsu so much!!

natsu was holding back the entire fight lol he tried to not kill them

Natsu🔥🔥🔥🔥

Natsu is soOoOOo cool! 😎🤩🥰🔥❤‍🔥

And now this arc transitions into its second half, which is great but definitely has a couple strange plotholes haha

I love fairy tail

I’m just gonna say this…… 5:10 the writers/show creators should have had natsu do a beam clash…….”Fire dragon..ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!!”

the ending is 100/10

HELL YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA

Next! Fairy Tail 2014!

Natsu Dragneel 🔥🔥

Didn't even use lightning mode.

GMG is the best tournament arc and I will die on that hill. I do prefer the manga more tho as the animation kinda suffers the more we get closer to the end of the arc.

End of season. Next season gonna be with new art style.

And after this to be continued-Screen we had to wait until 2014 for the Anime to come back. Lucky are those who can just watch the next episode now. But otherwise it somehow feels different if its not special anymore when the show continues.

hell yeah lets go

Epic episode however you are not prepared for the next episodes reveal

sting and rogue were not really strong to begin with, you are gonna see why in their complete backstory

Today i am 5th 😂

When are u gonna watch OVA?

Lucy must be connected to zeref Somehow. The fact that jelal mention future lucy smell like zeref ?

please before going on we can take a break from the series with the first Movie(beautiful),oav,meme and ending you choose....(oav 4 and 5 are connected to the WYD arc)

That fight made no sense though. 1. In the first part of the fight after Sting activated Dragon Force, it was 2 vs 1 and they got bodied. 2. For some reason, afterwards Natsu beat both Dragon Slayers in Dragon Force mode without being in Dragon Force mode or even in Thunder Flame mode. The most explanation is that he has Second Origin, and that somehow made him more powerful? Even though its been established that Second Origin doesn't necessarily make you more powerful, but just gives you more ethernano (this world's version of mana) Even if you said Natsu got used to their attacks, it still makes no sense how he able to outpower full Dragon Force mode with his normal magic. 3. He basically stood there doing ABSOLUTELY nothing for 5 minutes straight and then defeated a Unison Raid of two Dragon Slayers charging up their ultimate attack. It would have made more sense if he was charging up his mana or something, but nope. He just stood there and just threw his ultimate attack at the last possible second. 4. I love this fight, but how he became so powerful with ABSOLUTELY no reason mades ZERO logical sense and brought this fight down a few pegs. That's what made this arc one of my least favourite in Fairy Tail.

love this but is it just me or is the sound of the anime low?

and Natsu didn't even use thunder and dragon force...

Natsu didn't even need to use his Dragon force against them well because igneel is the king of Dragon so natsu will win.

I can't wait for Ultear. She made me cry in this arc.

Early!!!!

Самое классное в хвосте фей, что даже Стинг и Роуг никогда не были и не будут отрицательными персонажами, которых не сможет полюбить твое сердечко 🥺💔

Spoiler IMO I like how where the time line split when the art style changes as well

12:31 i-
