''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10142144/1/Opening-Dangerous-Gates Opening Dangerous Gates]]'' is a ''Manga/FairyTail'' / ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' crossover by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5523192/LadyD0544 LadyD0544]].

A seemingly routine job takes a dangerous turn when Lucy Heartfilia and her friends face a demon from the Book of Zeref called Daemon. Daemon is carrying a black key that summons a random Shinigami when used and a white key that summons a random Arrancar when used. Lucy barely manages to defeat Daemon by taking the black key and summoning Kenpachi Zaraki. After this event, she is targeted by the rest of the demons, both to avenge Daemon and because they claim the two keys are Zeref's property.

This fic is set sometime after the Grand Magic Games arc from Fairy Tail and before the Winter War in Bleach, a necessity because the author would like as many characters from Bleach to appear as possible. Later, the Winter War is in progress.

The fic has not been updated since 2015.
----
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead:
** After Makarov calms down and stops trying to hit on Rangiku, he pats her head while thanking her for saving Lucy's life.
** Lucy pats a drunk Rangiku's head while convincing her to finally go home.
** Lucy tried to do this to Hitsugaya, but he cut her off.
** Urahara pats Levy's head.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter:
** Kenpachi is stronger and faster than Daemon, which shocks him because he was stronger and faster than Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus and thought he was unbeatable.
** Tier Harribel has better water control than Xiphias Gladius.
** Rangiku Matsumoto can out-drink Cana ''and'' Bacchus.
** Toshiro Hitsugaya has superior ice powers to Gray. It really pisses him off.
** The Tengu notes that Ulquiorra is physically superior to him and is the true master of putting his opponents through despair.
* AndIMustScream: A Tengu removes ''all five senses'' from the party. Lucy almost goes insane, but realizes she can still move and her keys must still be on her belt even if she can't see or feel them. With a bit of effort, she manages to grab the white key and summon Ulquiorra, and the sheer reiatsu released by his arrival dispels the effect.
* AndThisIsFor: When finishing off Xiphias Gladius, Gray says, "This is for the townspeople!" before punching him with Ice Make: Fist, then Natsu, Gray, Erza, Gajeel, and Pantherlily simultaneously say, "AND THIS IS FOR LUCY!" before annihilating him with their combined attacks.
* AudienceParticipation: The author allows the fans to vote on which Bleach characters get summoned.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis:
** Grimmjow figures out the demon twins' powers (PowerCopying and TwinTelepathy), which shocks them because they made a point to ''not'' explain their powers.
** When Kisuke Urahara is summoned, he very quickly assesses the situation even though he had been exiled from Soul Society and has no knowledge of the keys. He then figures out the nature of the magic barrier and how to take it down.
* BareHandedBladeBlock: Grimmjow does this against the demon twins. However, when he tries it again later in the fight, his arms get cut, because they have copied his powers to the point where they are strong enough to pierce his Hierro.
* BattleOfWits: After completing his task, Gin Ichimaru challenges Lucy to one, a game of 21 Questions. Lucy wins, impressing him, because she got him to reveal more information than she did even though he asked 13 questions while she only asked 8.
* BelligerentSexualTension: The interactions between Lucy and Grimmjow have shades of this and Cana refuses to believe it's anything but. Lucy herself points out it's because Grimmjow wants to hurt her... and [[MrFanservice because he walks around in a completely unbuttoned shirt.]]
* BlowYouAway: The air demon had superior wind control to Ren of Blue Pegasus. His wind is however not strong enough to blow away Heineko's ash.
* BrainBleach: Several characters are bothered by Gray's stripping habit. Hitsugaya has to close his eyes and rid himself of the image of seeing Gray pantless.
* BrickJoke: Levy traps a few demons using Solid Script: Jail. In a later chapter, they are still in there, refusing to come out because they are afraid Gin Ichimaru is still around and don't want to get killed.
* ChasteHero: Natsu gets confused over why the others are gushing about Harribel's sexiness, but he's slowly realizing his attraction to Lucy.
* ChekhovsGun: Grimmjow's obi, which he originally gave to Lucy to bandage up a slash on her arm. [[BigDamnHeroes It allows Grimmjow to rescue Lucy on two separate occasions after being de-summoned]] because it links him to her world.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Gajeel threatens the Trimens when they try to hit on Levy. Later, when Urahara kisses her hand, he goes berserk and Laxus can barely hold him back.
* CripplingOverspecialization: The demon trio who serve as a ManOfKryptonite to Laxus discover that they fare ''very'' badly if they try to take on anybody else.
* CurbStompBattle: Daemon dished it out to Lucy and her friends until she summoned Kenpachi, who promptly returned the favor. Any summoned Bleach character tends to deliver these to the demons.
* CutenessProximity: Lucy pisses Hitsugaya off when she mistakes him for a child and coos around him.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: After Grimmjow kills the RubberMan demon, his two partners freeze up. Grimmjow gets disgusted and muses that they don't seem to have any survival instincts.
* DestinationDefenestration: When Gray and Natsu try to join Lucy, Levy, and Erza in the bath, Gajeel angrily storms in and throws the two out the window, then leaves so they can finish.
* DirtyKid: After helping Lucy, Wonderweiss buries his face in her cleavage. She accepts it at first because she thinks he's just an innocent kid, but then she realizes he knows what he's doing and angrily performs a Forced Gate Closure. Later, when Nnoitra is summoned, he mentions that Wonderweiss is currently groping every female Arrancar he can get his hands on.
* DontCallMeSir: Lucy prefers that her summons call her by her name, but Rangiku calls her Master anyway.
* DoWithHimAsYouWill: When Harribel was about to finish Xiphias Gladius off, she sensed that if she stayed any longer, Lucy would not survive her presence, so she tells the rest of Team Natsu she will leave the rest to them and returns to Hueco Mundo.
-->'''Harribel''': I would of ended you quickly; however I don't think they will.
* DramaticIrony: Lucy and her friends are unaware of the situation in the Bleach universe, so they don't know of the conflict between the Shinigami and Arrancar and they don't know what Shinigami and Arrancar do. They also think most of the Arrancar are just ruffians instead of villains.
* TheDreaded:
** Everybody who witnessed Kenpachi's summoning, even ''Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus'', became terrified of him and hope he never shows up again.
** Gin also gets this treatment after his summoning.
* DrinkingContest: Rangiku has a friendly one with Cana and Bacchus. While she gets drunk, the other two pass out.
* DrivingQuestion: What would Zeref and the demons want with the two keys if they can't use them? The Tengu answers this in Chapter 19: they want to use the keys to summon and control the Shinigami and Arrancar and accelerate their plans to destroy humanity. The reason the previous demons tried to kill Lucy was because they didn't understand that only a Celestial Spirit Mage can use them.
* EmpathicWeapon: Ukitake explains that the two keys respond to Lucy and summon whoever she needs the most given the situation. When she feels ''really'' strong emotions, the white key practically begs her to use it. It summoned Grimmjow the Espada of Destruction when she wanted the demon twins ''destroyed'' for what they did to the Strauss siblings. It summoned Nnoitra the Espada of Despair when she was crushed with despair over seeing a village the demons burned to the ground. It summoned Ulquiorra the Espada of Emptiness when the Tengu cut off all her senses and forced her to experience absolute emptiness and nothingness.
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Lucy, Levy, and Erza get slight crushes on Harribel, as do Gray and Gajeel. Lucy and Levy blush when they meet Rangiku, and pretty much every guy hits on her.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: This is the team's reactions to the summonings of Wonderweiss, Rukia, and Hitsugaya. Of course, they prove to be more powerful than expected.
* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy:
** Xiphias Gladius explains how he's unstoppable in the water, and even [[TemptingFate comments that Erza would be able to beat him if they were on land]]. Naturally, after Harribel knocks him out of the water, Erza reminds him about what he said and kicks his ass.
** When Rangiku uses her Shikai, she explains what it is doing, but this doesn't stop her from pwning the air demon.
** Grimmjow and the demon twins make sure ''not'' to do this, but they figure out each other's powers anyway; Grimmjow through AwesomenessByAnalysis, the demon twins through PowerCopying.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: Upon realizing he doesn't stand a chance against Ulquiorra, the Tengu salutes him and praises his strength before getting cut down.
* FaceDoodling: Chelia, Wendy, Happy, and Carla draw on Juvia's face when she gets drunk.
* FacePalm: Laxus does this when [[DirtyOldMan Makarov]] tries to hit on Rangiku, embarrassing everybody.
* FlashStep: Several of the demons can do this, but the Bleach characters tend to be even faster than them.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: The guys all do typical {{Nosebleed}} and other reactions when Cana playfully gropes Lucy. They do this again when Rangiku [[TheGlomp glomps]] Lucy and ends up straddling her with their breasts pressing together.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: Natsu gets pissed off when Sting starts hitting on Lucy.
* HappinessInSlavery: Any Bleach character who is summoned is filled with an urge to protect and serve Lucy. While most are not happy with this, Rangiku embraces it and calls her "Master", though she does briefly question why she is feeling this way. Harribel later privately muses that she would prefer to serve Lucy over Aizen. ''Nnoitra'' of all people is also satisfied serving her, because she's hot.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Lucy's friends praise her for being so special and strong enough to use the black and white keys, but she just doesn't see it, and wishes she had other powers besides summoning so she could help her friends herself.
* HomeFieldAdvantage: The demon Xiphias Gladius' strength and stamina is constantly replenished as long as he's in the sea, not to mention he has control over water. Unfortunately for him, Harribel easily usurps his control over the sea and then knocks him onto land, making him easy pickings for the heroes.
* HostageForMacGuffin: The demon twins capture Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna, then order Lucy to come to their hideout alone with the two keys for a trade. Lucy gives the keys to Virgo and has her hide underground, a wise precaution when the demons grab Lucy and try to take her keys as soon as she arrives. Virgo then sneak attacks the demons and hands her back the keys.
* IChooseToStay: After summoning herself, Rangiku ''really'' wanted to do this, but similar to a Celestial Spirit, the Bleach characters cannot survive in Earthland indefinitely. After spending a day there, she was drained and had to return.
* IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace: One of the jobs is in a town called Mortem. Lucy points out the foreboding name. Even more foreboding when Gajeel reveals that back when he was in Phantom Lord, he lost several comrades to that town.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: Daemon declared that he would "enjoy" Lucy, commenting it would be a waste to not do so. Fortunately, he is killed before he can even attempt this.
* IKissYourHand:
** Lyon kisses Juvia's hand while hitting on her, pissing Gray off.
** After the redwood tree demon is defeated, an old man from the village they saved enthusiastically thanks them and kisses Erza and Laxus' hands, to Laxus' disgust.
** When his work is done, Urahara gives some comforting words to Levy and kisses her hand before departing. Gajeel doesn't take it well.
* InconvenientSummons: A few of the Bleach characters, like Hitsugaya and Grimmjow, are annoyed that some girl called them to another world and they have to obey her. As soon as Ulquiorra is summoned, he sternly calls Lucy trash for wasting his time just to solve her problems for her.
* InsultBackfire: Natsu orders the Tengu to stop hiding behind his illusions and fight like a man. He smirks and says he's not a man, he's a demon.
* InvisibleJerkass: The air demon can blend into the wind to be pretty much invisible and intangible, and likes to taunt and play with his intended victims.
-->'''Levy''': Where are you!? Show yourself!
-->'''Air Demon''': I am here, I am there, I am everywhere... (''EvilLaugh'')
* IronicEcho: When Xiphias Gladius attempts to kill Lucy, he says he will give her a peaceful death, "Am I not kind?" A few minutes later, Harribel uses this line on him while kicking his ass and promising to give him a quick death.
* ItsAllMyFault: In response to Daemon's death, the demons from the Book of Zeref come out of seclusion and start attacking innocent villages and such, saying they want Lucy's hide. Lucy gets depressed and blames herself, but Master Makarov quickly puts an end to that line of thinking, pointing out that the demons were just waiting for an excuse to attack and would have done so sooner or later, and now that they are no longer hidden, they can be defeated.
* JerkassHasAPoint: On the third time he is summoned, Grimmjow notes that Lucy didn't thank him for saving her life and spent a good amount of time VolleyingInsults with him. Ulquiorra chews her out for essentially kidnapping Arrancar (and by extension Shinigami) at random to do her bidding. Lucy being [[AllLovingHero Lucy]], she concedes both points and apologizes.
* JustAKid: Lucy's companions, except Erza, do this with Wonderweiss and Hitsugaya, only to eat their words. Of course, it doesn't help that Wonderweiss ran off to chase a butterfly soon after he was summoned.
* KilledMidSentence: When Gin is summoned, he asks what is going on. One of the attacking demons starts mouthing off, and Gin kills him, calling him rude.
-->'''Demon''': Enough! Pleasantries and names don't matter anymore, soon enough, you're all gonna be dead! We're here to-- (''skewered'')
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: After Ukitake was summoned, he, Kyoraku, and Yamamoto inform everyone in Soul Society about the black key and warn them that they can be summoned by Lucy at any time, but do not tell them about the white key. Thus, Rangiku was incredibly shocked when she learned about it. Urahara is also surprised to be summoned, because he was exiled and thus the warning never reached him.
* [[LostTechnology Lost Magic]]: The white and black keys are so old that only a few people in the Fairy Tail verse besides the demons knew about them, and Shinigami and Arrancar are considered barely remembered folk tales. Even Lucy's regular Celestial Spirits didn't know about them; when Lucy took the black key from Daemon, she asked Virgo the key's name so she could use it. Virgo didn't know, but commented that the energy coming from it felt like a God of Death. Fortunately, the black key responds to, "Open - Gate of the Death God!" Ukitake later tells her the white key will summon Arrancar.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: Daemon.
-->'''Daemon''': (''to Lucy'') Yes. Do it again. Scream for me again sweet heart. I can smell your tears. I can't wait to taste them.
* MagiBabble: Urahara is able to understand Levy's solid script magic terms, leaving everyone else baffled and thinking they are talking in another language.
* MagicByAnyOtherName: According to Urahara, magic and reiatsu are pretty much the same thing. Every being has it, but only a few can properly channel it, and it has different effects depending on the user and how they apply it.
* MakingASplash: Xiphias Gladius controls the sea and can melt Gray's ice, but Harribel's control over the sea was stronger.
* ManOfKryptonite:
** Wonderweiss served as one to Ignem, since he can absorb flames.
** Nnoitra's Hierro meant that a demon who specialized in blades could do nothing to him.
** The blade demon then discovers that Laxus also serves as this to him, since all his blades serve as a lightning rod, so he can't dodge any of Laxus' electric attacks.
** Three demons show up and reveal that they specifically targeted Laxus because their powers perfectly counter his. One is a RubberMan. The other two control sulfur and magnesium respectively. They can quickly surround Laxus with the stuff, so every time he tries to use an electric attack, it literally blows up in his face. The magnesium demon thought he would serve as one to Natsu as well, but since Natsu can't be harmed by flames, he simply keeps blasting and advancing until he gets close enough to blast him directly. Similarly, Laxus eventually manages to overwhelm the sulfur demon and blast him directly.
* MarshmallowHell: Wonderweiss buries his face in Lucy's cleavage. Like in canon, Erza often does this to people, especially Lucy. The tables turn when Rangiku does it to her, making everybody laugh. Rangiku also does it to Lucy several times.
* MasterOfIllusion: A Tengu can affect ''all five senses''. His typical opening move is to simply cut his targets off from their senses and watch them go crazy and self-destruct.
* MeaningfulName: Xiphias Gladius means "Sword Fish" in Latin. He's a FishPeople-type demon and a swordsman who even wields a sword that looks like a swordfish.
* MookMaker: The redwood tree demon spawns smaller, mobile tree demons.
* MrExposition: Ukitake and later Rangiku explain a little bit about Shinigami and Soul Society to Lucy, while Grimmjow grudgingly explains a little bit about Arrancar and Hueco Mundo to her.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** After the party takes down a magic barrier blocking their path to Mortem, a demon thanks them, because now ''they'' can access the town too.
** When Lucy summoned Ulquiorra, it gave Loly and Menoly a chance to rough up Orihime.
* NoodleIncident: While fighting Natsu, Ignem says that he met Igneel a few years ago and fought him to a draw. When he's defeated and dying, he admits that he exaggerated; he lost and Igneel spared his life.
* NoOntologicalInertia: When the redwood tree demon is killed, its tree demon spawn immediately revert to ordinary trees.
* NormalFishInATinyPond: The Bleach characters are more powerful than a majority of the Fairy Tail characters. Grimmjow privately muses that he could be seen as a God by the inhabitants of Fiore.
* NotWorthKilling: Ulquiorra declares the Tengu to be too weak to consider fighting and attempts to leave. Unfortunately for the Tengu, he got so insulted that he attacked him, causing Ulquiorra to change his mind.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** After constant threats to Lucy's life by the demons, Natsu starts using his head, and is the first to notice the inconsistency that the demons want the keys, yet cannot use them.
** When Rangiku learns about the white key and what it summons, she immediately drops her lazy, fun-loving attitude and asks Lucy if she's used it and if any of the summoned Arrancar hurt her. She's also all-business when Makarov questions her about the keys.
** When Urahara is summoned, Lucy gives him the rundown on the keys and who she summoned so far. When she mentions Kenpachi, he immediately drops his goofy persona and asks if Kenpachi hurt her.
** In chapter 20, [[DynamicEntry Grimmjow]] actually ''PUNCHES'' Nnoitra for laying hands on Lucy. In fact it's noted in-story that [[PetTheDog Grimmjow being seemingly offended in Lucy's honor]] AND getting the drop on Nnoitra is odd.
* OffWithHisHead:
** How Rangiku finishes off the air demon.
** Grimmjow blows the RubberMan demon's head off with a Cero.
** Ulquiorra decapitates the Tengu.
* TheOlderImmortal: Yamamoto, Ukitake, and Kyoraku are among the only Shinigami who knew about the keys by virtue of having been around when they were created several hundred years ago. Similarly, Baraggan is one of the only Arrancar who knew about the keys. When asked how he knows by Harribel, he answers, "I've been around for a very, very long time."
* PetTheDog:
** Despite making it very clear that he doesn't care about Lucy, Grimmjow comforts her when she's distraught over a village the demons burned to the ground by revealing the villagers survived.
** Ulquiorra acknowledges Lucy and [[FirstNameBasis calls by her first name]] upon leaving Earthland where upon when he first arrived, he called her "Girl" or "Trash."
* PlayingWithFire: The demon Ignem controls flames. Similar to Zancrow, his flames can harm Natsu, but fortunately not Wonderweiss.
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: As explained by Ukitake, the keys summon whoever Lucy needs the most for a given situation.
** Kenpachi had more brute force, speed, and durability than Daemon.
** Ukitake was summoned when Lucy needed information.
** Harribel usurped Xiphias Gladius' control over the sea.
** Wonderweiss absorbed the flames of Ignem.
** Rangiku's Shikai Heineko could locate and cut a demon that could spread out into the air to be nearly intangible. The Trimens commented on how convenient her ability was. The air demon kept them occupied for three days and they could not figure out how to hurt it, then Rangiku killed it in about a minute.
** Rukia and later Hitsugaya's ice powers easily kill the tree demons.
** Grimmjow's sheer brutality eventually overwhelms the demon twins.
** Urahara was able to analyze and help take down a magic barrier blocking the group's way.
** Gin uses his Bankai and swings the 13km sword around to wipe out a massive army of demons at once.
** Nnoitra's Hierro lets him tank a demon's blades.
** Ulquiorra's Pesquisa and stoicism make him immune to the [[MasterOfIllusion Tengu's powers]].
* PowerCopying: The demon twins can copy their opponent's power level and skills, but it takes some time to work. Since they started out weaker than him, Grimmjow got cocky, giving them enough time to match his power. He beats them anyway.
* PowerStrainBlackout: Since summoning uses up the user's magic reserves proportional to the summoned being's power, summoning the Bleach characters takes a lot out of Lucy. Summoning Kenpachi for ''2 minutes'' knocked her out for 3 days. Summoning Harribel for 5 minutes knocked her out for 8 hours. As the story progresses, she gets stronger and stronger, to the point that she can summon them for longer periods of time without passing out. Similarly to her regular Celestial Spirits, they can also summon themselves so they don't drain her magic.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: After Xiphias Gladius arrogantly brags about his awesomeness, Harribel simply points out his MeaningfulName before she proceeds to hand him his ass with ease.
---> '''Tier Harribel''': How unfortunate for you. ''Sharks eat fish.''
** Later, Levy gushes about how badass that line sounded.
* PunyEarthlings: The Tengu goes on a tirade about how frail and pathetic humans are compared to his kind. His kind have more than five senses, so even a child would not be hindered by losing the typical five, while a human would typically panic and go crazy. He then says the only reason why Lucy is important is because she can actually use the white and black keys. Ironically, when Ulquiorra is summoned to deal with him, the Arrancar does a similar speech to Lucy and her friends about how weak they are.
* RestrainingBolt: The rule that Celestial Spirits cannot harm or kill their summoners applies to the Bleach characters as well. Grimmjow learns this to his chagrin when he tries to strangle Lucy and can't even move his arms toward her. Gin gets annoyed at not being able to harm her and tries to kill Levy instead. Lucy quickly orders him not to harm any of her friends and he's forced to obey. Grimmjow later discovers a loophole: apparently, picking Lucy up and dropping her doesn't count as harming her.
* SecretKeeper:
** After being summoned, Harribel and Grimmjow don't tell anyone else in Hueco Mundo about it (Harribel because she figures someone like Aizen knowing about Lucy and the keys would be a bad idea, Grimmjow because he doesn't want anyone to know he served someone). Wonderweiss obviously couldn't tell anyone about it because he's mentally handicapped. Baraggan figures out what happened on his own and Harribel questions him on the nature of the keys (Baraggan definitely wouldn't tell Aizen because he hates him). They later tell the other Arrancar to warn them that they can be summoned at any time. After Gin was summoned, he keeps the secret as well, for his own reasons.
** Ulquiorra resorts to using Segunda Etapa against the Tengu. Though they don't understand why it is a big deal, Lucy and her friends agree not to tell anyone about it when he asks.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Poor Lucy has to endure everyone shipping her with everyone. Laxus in particular gets very annoyed and embarrassed about people shipping him with Lucy. Gajeel and Levy also do this at times.
* ShipTease: In addition to Levy/Gajeel moments, Lucy gets teased with pretty much every character.
** CrackShip: The [[BroodingBoyGentleGirl teasing with Grimmjow]] is unexpected to say the least.
* SoProudOfYou: Capricorn and Virgo say this to Lucy on separate occasions.
* StepIntoTheBlindingFight: The Tengu can cut people off from the five senses at any time, leaving them unable to fight. Since Ulquiorra is a master at sensing reiatsu, it doesn't hinder him, and he can release enough reiatsu to dispel the effect.
* StrongerWithAge: It is briefly mentioned that the Tengu's advanced powers come from him being centuries old.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Lucy and others often get into arguments, which leave the demons staring at them dumbfounded. Some of them are however smart enough to attack while they are talking.
* TeethFlying: Nnoitra spits out a tooth after Grimmjow punches him.
* ThanksForTheMammary: Shortly after getting summoned, Nnoitra grabs Lucy's chest. She angrily does a Forced Gate Closure.
* ThisCannotBe: Daemon does this when Lucy summons Kenpachi, saying that in the hundreds of years since they had first been created, ''no'' Celestial Spirit Mage had ever been powerful enough to activate the black or white keys. The demons typically have this reaction when overwhelmed by the Bleach characters.
* TokenEvilTeammate: During the trip to Mortem, Grimmjow summons himself and joins the party for a while, making it clear he doesn't care about any of them and only wants a good fight.
* TranquilFury: Rangiku does this when the air demon impales Lucy with a piece of rock.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: This happens to Natsu when a drunk Rangiku punches him. Master Makarov wisely takes a careful step back.
* TwinTelepathy: The demon twins can do this to effortlessly coordinate their attacks.
* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** Everybody underestimated Wonderweiss when he was summoned, and paid for it.
** Natsu, Gray, Laxus, and Happy laugh at Hitsugaya when he is summoned and won't take him seriously because he looks like a kid. As a result, he shields Lucy and Erza with kido before unleashing his Bankai, freezing all the enemy demons and the boys. Granted, the cold didn't harm Gray, but he was humiliated that Hitsugaya's ice powers surpass his own.
** Grimmjow had a little trouble against the demon twins because he got cocky.
* {{Vibroweapon}}: Daemon's body generates powerful vibrations so each of his strikes swiftly damage internal organs. These don't faze Kenpachi, but Natsu and Gray were nearly killed.
* WeCanRuleTogether:
** After realizing he can't beat her, Xiphias Gladius tries to save himself by offering Harribel the opportunity to join the demons. She doesn't listen.
-->'''Xiphias Gladius''': W-wait! Wait! Why are you fighting for the humans?! They are weak! You should fight with us! For Zeref! He can give you power beyond your wildest imagination!
** Later, a demon offers Lucy the chance to join them and use the keys in service to Zeref. When she refuses, he shrugs and says he'll just have to kill her then.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Nobody really has any qualms about killing the demons, though they at least distinguish between the evil demons of Zeref and the good ones like the ones from Galuna Island.
* WhatTheHellHero: After Hitsugaya defeats the redwood tree demon, Natsu excitedly challenges him to a fight. Erza smacks him and asks if he's forgotten already that Lucy can't keep a Shinigami or Arrancar summoned for long without tiring herself out.
* WhatWereYouThinking: Upon learning that Lucy has no idea what the Arrancar are, Grimmjow points out the foolishness of summoning something you know nothing about.
* WhenTreesAttack: A demon possesses a redwood tree and terrorizes a forest. It also spawns smaller, mobile tree demons.
* WorthyOpponent: Ulquiorra was dismissive of the Tengu at first, but acknowledged him when one of his illusions fooled him and made him miss.
* YouAreAlreadyDead: Ulquiorra ends the fight with the Tengu by flash stepping past him. It takes a few seconds for his head to fall and his body to follow.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre:
** Lucy receives this message a lot from pretty much every friend she has.
** After Urahara helps take down the magic barrier, Levy laments that she's useless, since magic barriers are part of her specialty and she couldn't do anything about this one until Lucy summoned him, but he tells her not to say such things and that her potential is incredible. He also points out that ''she'' was the one who took down the barrier; all he did was teach her the correct method.
* YouAreNotAlone: Lucy receives this message a lot from pretty much every friend she has.
* YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Lucy, Laxus, and Grimmjow all do this when Natsu says he has no idea what sulfur and magnesium are. Lucy complains that since he deals with fire, he should have some knowledge about flammable materials.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: Cana does this to Lucy a lot.
* YouRemindMeOfX:
** Lucy notes Rangiku is like Cana and Mirajane mixed together.
** Rangiku notes that Natsu and the others roughhousing is like Ikkaku, Renji, and the others back home.
** Lucy reminds Ulquiorra of Orihime. He shows respect to Erza because her personality is like Harribel, one of the few people he respects. Natsu, Gray, Laxus, and Gajeel remind him of Grimmjow, Nnoitra, and Yammy, which disgusts him because he thinks they are all imbeciles.
