Gray Fullbuster, one of the strongest members of "Fairy Tail", is known as one of the most powerful members of the guild. In battle, he not only shows his skills, but also his sharp intuition, making him a very reliable ally. On the other hand, he shows a strong obsession with the demon Deliora from the Book of Zeref, and is sometimes at odds with those around him over issues involving those related to Ur, and is also shown to get angry at times.

Gray is a magician who uses ice shaping magic, and thanks to the teachings of his master Ur, he can create ice at a speed that is incomparable to other magicians. He is skilled in "Shizuka's Ice Make," which is the shaping of weapons and objects, but he also shows how he can use it to freeze wounds and stop bleeding, proving his great skill as a magician. His fighting style also shows how skilled he is in "Fairy Tail," so be sure to pay attention to his battle scenes.
Gray's charm 2: A man who cares for his friends and is considerate

Gray is often seen at odds with Natsu, but when his friends are depressed or troubled, he is portrayed as caring more than anyone else. He does show concern for Natsu at times, but perhaps because Natsu also feels a sense of rivalry with Gray, he never expresses his true feelings. Gray's kind-heartedness is especially evident around the female members, and he is especially concerned about Erza, who has been with him in the guild since childhood.

Gray, who joined Fairy Tail earlier than anyone else among the strongest team, is particularly concerned about Erza, who joined next. When she first joined, she was isolated and didn't open up to anyone, but Gray, seeing this, felt the urge to do something about it. And when he goes to the place where Elsa is usually alone, he calls out to her, showing his kind nature even as a boy.
Gray's charm 3: He faithfully follows his master's teachings

Gray's ice-shaping magic was taught to him by a female mage named Ur, and he faithfully follows her teachings while completing requests. During his training, Gray was quite rebellious, but when Ur risked her life to seal Deliora away, it had a huge impact on him both physically and mentally. He is more confident in the sculpting magic he learned from her than anything else, and seems proud to be her proud master.
More than anything, he hates Deliora, who destroyed his hometown

The reason he learned shaping magic from Ur was because Gray's hometown was destroyed by Deliora, and he begged to learn ice shaping magic in order to defeat Deliora. However, when he hears that Deliora has been sighted during his training, Gray immediately heads to the location he heard about and challenges Deliora to a duel in an attempt to defeat him. However, Ur rushes in at the last moment to save him, and then uses the forbidden magic "Absolute Freeze" to seal Deliora away at the cost of his own life.

Ur risked his life to protect Gray, and Gray began to live his life faithfully by following Ur's teachings. However, he also developed a feud with his senior disciple Leon, and on Galuna Island, Leon plotted to revive Deliora and defeat him himself. However, after the feud between the disciples is resolved, they join different guilds, reconcile with each other, build a cooperative relationship, and fight together against the Six Demon Generals.
Gray's charm 4: He has a habit of unconsciously taking off his clothes

In the daily life part, Gray usually appears without clothes. Of course, he wears clothes when he goes out, but before he knows it, he is shirtless and has even taken off his pants. It is clear from his reactions that he is not doing this consciously, but rather unconsciously, and every time this happens, Gray is scolded by Erza.

Gray's habit of unconsciously taking off his clothes is largely due to his training with Ur. In order to help him master ice shaping magic, Ur would tell Gray to take off his clothes in the snowy mountains and make him train in that state. This habit is reflected in his daily life, and it seems that he has had a bad habit of taking off his clothes since he was a child.
Gray's charm 5: He is on bad terms with Natsu

Gray's favorite thing is "funny things," but he also lists "Natsu" as one of his least favorite things. The relationship between the two is one of bitterness, as they argue at various points, including at the guild headquarters and on the way to the guild after receiving a request. Gray also hates to lose, and seems to be fed up with Natsu's arrogance, always demanding a fight, but when it comes to fighting, he does what he needs to do.

The relationship between Gray and Natsu can be called bitter, but in battle scenes, they work well together and share the same consciousness, showing off their skills as the best partners. Their elements are also opposing, ice and fire, but the way they fight while bringing out their different strengths is somehow passionate. Above all, they both have beliefs that they will never compromise on, so in that sense, Gray and Natsu are similar.
Gray's charm 6: He responds to Juvia's feelings

As Element 4 of the "Ghost Ruler," Juvia was initially hostile, but after fighting Gray, she fell in love at first sight and began to follow him. When Juvia eventually joins Fairy Tail, she begins to view women who approach her, such as Lucy, as love rivals and treats them wholeheartedly for Gray's sake. As the story progresses, Gray becomes more aware of her sincere feelings and eventually begins to respond to them.
Gray was insensitive to love

To begin with, Gray is a beautiful young man, so he is likely to be popular with girls, but even before that, he is insensitive to love, so there is no sign of a specific woman. Above all, when Juvia brings him a bento, it's obvious that it was made for Gray, but he eats it without understanding its meaning or content. He also seems to share some with Natsu and Erza, who are nearby, which makes it clear that he is quite insensitive.
He doesn't even notice the stalking

Furthermore, Gray doesn't seem to notice Juvia's stalking at all. Even when they happen to meet while out and about, he just thinks it's a coincidence, and doesn't sense that she's secretly following him. Furthermore, he doesn't seem to notice Juvia plotting something evil involving Gray, and it seems he doesn't pay any particular attention to the other women, including Juvia.

During the battle with the dragon from Eclipse, Gray protects Juvia from the attack of a small dragon and loses his life as a result. This makes Juvia very sad, but then Ultear, the Crimson Ciel, appears and uses her time-controlling magic to save Gray's life.

Ultear is a mage who uses the lost magic "Ark of Time", and the magic "Last Ages" that saved Gray rewinds time all over the world a little. This rewinds the world to the time when Gray was alive, but in exchange, she loses her own life. Although she didn't die in the end, she was transformed into an old woman, a far cry from her original appearance, which had a major impact on Gray's will.

Gray only finds out the whole truth after the battle is over, but as soon as he finds out he is unable to help but burst into tears and express his immense gratitude.

He finds out that Natsu is END during the battle with the Alvarez Empire, but at the same time, Juvia, who was with him, is killed. This leads Gray to believe that Natsu is responsible for the current situation, and he does everything in his power to kill Natsu. However, when he is later informed that Juvia is still alive, Gray stops himself at the last moment. He also realizes that he wanted to blame END for the deaths of his parents and Ur, and above all else, he resolves to challenge Zeref alone in order to protect his friend Natsu.

Gray decides to find and defeat Zeref before anyone else in order to protect his most important friend, Natsu. However, Zeref possesses unimaginable power, and no matter what he does it is no match for him; the difference in their strength is clear.

"Absolute Freeze" is a secret plan to defeat Zeref and END, but in exchange, you need to convert your life, existence, and all of your memories into magical power. It's a powerful blow that adds the vanishing attribute to the existing "Absolute Freeze" ability, but the price it comes at is so great that Gray's death is inevitable. However, Natsu steps in to stop it at the last moment, but it fails. The words Natsu spoke have a big impact on him, and as he remembers the words "never use this" he seems to regret his own mistake.
