They are all very moving, and it is not uncommon to be moved to tears at times. Here we introduce the top 10 most famous scenes in Fairy Tail! Check out the contents of each of the top 10 to see which scenes made the list.

In the parallel world of Edolas, Natsu and his friends from Earthland cannot use magic because of a chronic lack of magical power. In the midst of this, Natsu learns that not only will the Edolas Kingdom be supplying magical power from Earthland, but that the Exceeds will be eliminated and the kingdom will have a monopoly on magical power. They are more concerned with using their magical powers than with the people, and are extremely angry at the Edolas Kingdom for acting out of their own selfish desires.
Straightforward scenes typical of "FAIRY TAIL"

"FAIRY TAIL" has many scenes that are symbolic of traditional shounen manga, and is characterized by straightforward statements against clearly evil characters. Natsu's line in the Edolas arc, "Whether you have magical powers or not, the important thing is to be alive! Life!" is a classic example, showing his determination to never forgive. This is the charm of "FAIRY TAIL" and may be the reason why it has been serialized for so many years and has been loved for so long.
Number 9: Death of Master Berno

Master Berno, a member of the Council, was the only one who always cared about Gajeel, who moved from one guild to another. He could be said to be his only ally, but Gajeel only sees him as meddling and finds him annoying. However, when the Gate of the Underworld attacks the Council, Master Berno loses his life. This causes a major change in Gajeel's heart, and he begins to risk his life more than anyone else and fight to protect those most important to him.

The reason why Gajeel has changed so much is largely due to his regret that he was not able to repay his benefactor, Master Berno, in any way. In "Fairy Tail," he was considerate towards Levi, but after he accepted the death of Master Berno, he is portrayed more strongly as fighting and putting his life on the line to protect her. This is a must-see scene, as Gajeel had been keeping his true feelings to himself until then, but now he is a little more honest about his feelings.
8th place: Future Lucy and Natsu

Due to the Eclipse incident, Lucy from the future appears to tell them that their original world has been destroyed. Not knowing how to prevent the ultimate destruction, Natsu desperately went through the Eclipse to warn Lucy of the approaching danger. Lucy came from the future to tell him about the approaching danger, and Natsu's unquestioning listening to her is stronger than any other scene. Above all, he accepts her as a friend, and his generosity and innocence in not doubting his friends brings Lucy from the future to tears.

Lucy, who came from the future, loses her life in the battle, but is happy to have met Natsu and the rest of Fairy Tail and to have seen the guild mark once again. However, Natsu and Happy are unable to accept her death, and tell her that even though she came from the future, she is still a friend, and urge her to keep living her life to the fullest. Although Natsu and the others' feelings are not conveyed, they are able to see how much Natsu loves his friends, and their passionate feelings cannot help but bring tears to their eyes.
7th place: Fairy Tail style send-off party

The Fairy Tail style send-off party is where the three rules are conveyed to those who are leaving Fairy Tail. The first and second messages are about the guild and individual profits, but the third message is completely different, with a string of phrases that are typical of Fairy Tail. The person speaking these words is holding back tears, while the person receiving the words is simply in tears. It is clear that until the very end, Fairy Tail values their comrades above all else, and that they are bound together by a bond that cannot be described as simply wonderful.

The third phrase is, "Even if our paths are different, we must live as strongly as we can, never treat our own lives as small, and never forget the friends we loved." It shows that even if they are separated, they are connected under the same sky, and there is a strong message that the days they spent together will last a lifetime. The way they convey the third rule so powerfully is no joke, and it makes you feel that Fairy Tail is an amazing guild.
6th place: Kana and Gildarts

The only scene in "FAIRY TAIL" that depicts the bond between blood relatives is when Kana reveals to Gildarts that they are father and son. Gildarts has a bad habit of womanizing, but he says that he has only loved one woman in his life, and Cana sheds tears of relief after hearing the words she had never been able to say to him. From then on, Gildarts' doting on his daughter is emphasized, and he shows off his cool side by going on a journey again and rushing to the aid of his daughter and friends in times of trouble.

Gildarts is touted as the strongest wizard in "Fairy Tail," but he is also a man who shows his true potential, such as knowing that there are wizards in the world who are stronger than him. The only scene in which this strong man is seen shedding tears is when he feels ashamed of being a foolish father who was unable to show affection to his only daughter. "Give me the right to love you once more," he says tearfully, clearly showing how he is desperately trying to repair the rift that has already formed between father and daughter.
5th place: Lucy's audience with the Celestial Spirit King

In order to protect his friends, Loki, the "Leo Celestial Spirit," ends up killing his past contracted master, and is unable to return to the Celestial Spirit World. And with no longer the strength to remain in the mortal world, he tries to atone for his sins by disappearing, but Lucy stops him, saying that it is wrong. Although Lucy is still inexperienced as a Celestial Mage, she is determined to forcefully open the door to the Celestial World. Then the Celestial King appears, and impressed by Loki's willingness to sacrifice himself for his friends, he gives Loki permission to return to the Celestial World as an exception.

Just as "Fairy Tail" values its comrades, Lucy also recognizes each of the celestial spirits with whom she has a contract as an important comrade. That is why she is able to act while sacrificing herself against Loki, a celestial spirit, and she acts with the sole desire not to lose her comrades. While many Celestial Spirit Mages view Celestial Spirits as tools, beings like Lucy are special, and her strong feelings are imbued with enough power to move the Celestial Spirit World.
4th place: Natsu vs. Gildarts

At the S-class wizard promotion exam, Natsu faces off against Gildarts, who is waiting as an examiner. Natsu was excited and happy to become an S-class mage at all costs, and to have the chance to go toe-to-toe with the strongest, Gildarts, but he could only manage to make his opponent retreat a few steps. Then, when Gildarts decided to get serious and face Natsu, the intimidating presence he exuded was enough to make Natsu surrender. But even though Gildarts won the fight, he told Natsu, who was the loser, that he had "passed."

Gildarts' test on Natsu was to "recognize his weakness." "Fear is not evil. It means knowing your own weaknesses. Knowing your weaknesses can make you stronger and kinder," he says, expressing his joy at Natsu's growth. Later, in the concept of "Devil's Heart," his companions are aware of their own weaknesses, but they act positively, working together to defeat a strong enemy. Gildarts' words are heavily reflected in the fighting style he shows us.
3rd place: Last Ages

In order to repel the dragon that came from Eclipse, not only the Dragon Slayers but also the other wizards fight together, but they are no match for the dragon because of its strength. Before long, the battle is on the defensive, and as magicians fall one by one, Ultear plans to use the "Ark of Time" to go back to the time before the dragon arrived. She then activates the Last Ages, but she is only able to rewind time by one minute, and she despairs, realizing that only one minute of her life was worth anything.

Ultear sacrificed her own life in "The Last Ages," but she despairs at the fact that she could only rewind one minute. However, for the wizards fighting the dragon, it was a crucial minute, and with the vision of what would happen in the future burned into their minds, many barely managed to survive. Among them was Gray, who, despite having a strange experience, somehow managed to escape from the predicament. When he eventually realized that the image burned into his mind was a scene from the future, he realized that he had been saved by Ultear. Gray then shed tears and expressed his gratitude to Ultear for having been saved by her mother and son a second time.
Second place: Laxus's banishment and Fantasia

In the "Battle of Fairy Tail" caused by Laxus, many of the "Fairy Tail" members ended up hurting each other, leaving nothing behind. To make him take responsibility for his actions, his master Makarov excommunicates his grandson, and Laxus accepts the decision. As he leaves Magnolia, the town becomes busier with Fantasia, and the members of Fairy Tail send Laxus off on his journey with joy.

"Battle of Fairy Tail" was Laxus's action in his own way, thinking of "Fairy Tail", and this feeling is shown in the scene where he uses "Fairy Law". In order to use "Fairy Law", it is necessary to recognize the other party as an enemy, and Laxus was unable to recognize the members of "Fairy Tail", his family, as enemies. As a result, Laxus' coup failed, and after traveling around the world, he reunited with his friends and family, "Fairy Tail", and began to act for them.
1st place: A reunion between father and son, enemies

In the battle against the "Gate of the Underworld," Gray will fight his real father, Silver. Gray ends up victorious in the showdown between the ice-shaping mage and the demon-slaying mage, but even though he knows he can't win the battle without killing Silver, he is unable to deliver the final blow. This is largely due to the fact that he is his real father, and killing the only family he has left is something that the kind-hearted Gray could never bring himself to do.

Although they met again for the first time in 17 years, Silver is already deceased, and he says that he is in front of him because he is being controlled. And he was humiliated in order to entrust his demon extermination law to Gray. Gray then reveals his true feelings, saying, "If they're the guild's enemies, it doesn't matter! That's how we've protected the guild! But even so, I still can't kill you." Gray's expression as he faces the greatest conflict of all, killing his father with his own hands, is undoubtedly the right thing to do, and many fans are sure to share Gray's feelings.

The conversation scene between Gray and Silver is recognized as one of the most famous scenes among FAIRY TAIL fans. It is also said to be a scene that is impossible to look directly at, so it's easy to imagine how many fans were moved to tears by Gray's feelings. There are parts where Silver was fighting for Gray while hiding his true identity, but there's no doubt that Gray's heartbreaking cry is what really struck a chord with many people.
