King Toma E. Fiore

The King of Fiore.

---

• The Faceless: Only the lower half of his face is shown until chapter 325.
• The Good King: Judging by his concern for the common citizens.
• King Incognito: Considering his disguise was Mato.
• Miniature Senior Citizens
• Reasonable Authority Figure: He immediately orders the evacuation of all citizens in the capital after being told of the coming dragons and begs the magic guilds for help in case some of the dragons survive.
• Verbal Tic: Him using the Grand Magic Games mascot Mato's Verbal Tic "Kapo"*
  derived from "kapocha", meaning "pumpkin"
  is what reveals him to be Mato during the Grand Magic Games.

Princess Hisui E. Fiore

The Princess of Fiore. She is the mastermind behind the Eclipse Project, a plan meant to end Zeref's menace. Following the advice of a certain individual from the future, she has prepared a backup plan, Eclipse 2, to save Fiore from a more urgent and imminent threat.

---

• Batman Gambit: She deliberately throws Natsu and his friends into the Hell Palace under the pretense of them being "thieves" to save Arcadios, who otherwise would have been killed by the Garou Knights.
• Detached Sleeves
• Everything's Better with Princesses
• The Girl Behind the Man: She's the true supervisor to the Eclipse Project. Arcadios acts the part in her stead to take attention away from her.
• Hair Decorations
• Lady and Knight: The Bright Lady to Arcadios' White Knight, though they don't appear to be romantically linked.
• My God, What Have I Done?: Once she opens the Eclipse and dragons start pouring out, destroying everything in sight.
• Reasonable Authority Figure
• Requisite Royal Regalia
• Royals Who Actually Do Something
• The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter
• Unwitting Pawn: To Future Rogue; he tricks her into thinking the Eclipse can be used as a weapon to defeat 10,000 dragons that will ravage their land so that said dragons can use the Eclipse to travel forward 400 years in time.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Eclipse Project entails killing Zeref before he became immortal. Seeing how several of the series' most significant events revolve around Zeref still being alive in the present, this would radically alter history.
• You Gotta Have Green Hair

Arcadios

Commander of the Fiore Kingdom's Holy Knights' Sakura Squadron. Very enigmatic and ambitious, he appears to be obsessed with Zeref and a project known as the Eclipse Plan that could potentially change the world.

---

• Badass: His mad dash across the lava to save Lucy and Yukino, regardless of what protection he had, cements him as this.
  • Badass Beard
  • Badass Cape
  • Badass Normal: Does not appear to have any magic at his disposal.
  • Colonel Badass
• The Comically Serious: Usually very serious and shady, but even he falls into this when the king asks to see a match between Bacchus and Erza. Arcadios mishears him and instead pits Bacchus against Elfman, which leads to the hilarious sight of seeing Arcadios sweat-dropping when the king angrily berates him for getting the match-up wrong.
• Cool Helmet: Has one as part of his White Lily Armor.
• Death Glare: Gives one to the royal guards when he goes to confront the princess about the identity of her mysterious advisor.

• Evil Laugh: Lets out one when he finds out Yukino is also Celestial Spirit wizard.
• Gag Nose: It's long and has a sort of rectangular wooden shape.
• Good All Along
• Heroic Build: Has quite the muscular body under all that armor, to the point that Horologium could barely hold him inside when he saved him from the lava.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Tries to make one to save Lucy and Yukino. He is saved by Horologium at the last second, though.
• Honor Before Reason: Honestly believes that, as a knight, questioning the words of his princess and confronting her about the true identity of her mysterious advisor is a serious enough crime to warrant her killing him with his own sword. Hisui doesn't share his thoughts.
• Knight in Shining Armor: Turns out to be one once he is revealed to have been Good All Along and after he discards his villainous act. Though the shine is somewhat tarnished by also being a Well-Intentioned Extremist.
• Lady and Knight: The White Knight to Princess Hisui's Bright Lady, though they don't appear to be romantically linked.
• Light Is Not Good: He wears shining armor and is the leader of the Fiore Holy Knights' Sakura Squadron, yet seems very much to be a villain... Though it's revealed that his stint as a suspicious villain is an act to distract people from the Eclipse Plan's true mastermind: Princess Hisui.
• Messy Hair
• No One Could Survive That: His lava plunge. He does, as lampshaded by Carla and Uosuke. It's later revealed that an enchanted jade necklace he got from Princess Hisui provided a majority of protection for him, though he still gets some terrible burns for his trouble.
• Oh Crap: He and Hisui share an expression of dread when they realize there were two time travelers from the future.
• Red Herring: Is thought to be a villainous Zeref zealot, and the one behind the Eclipse Project. It turns out Hisui's the one behind it. His rants about preparing something for "Lord Zeref" are just part of his attempts to cover for Hisui.
• Shoulders of Doom: In the anime, where his pauldrons are much bigger than in the manga.
• Silent Scapegoat: He paints himself as the mastermind of the morally ambiguous Eclipse Project to cover for Hisui, the true mastermind.
• Villain with Good Publicity: The narration calls him as such right away during his introduction in the manga. Turns out he was Good All Along.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Eclipse Project involves Time Travel for the sake of killing Zeref before he became immortal, which could potentially lead to even more devastating changes in the future. On top of that, he actually tries to kidnap Lucy to achieve this plan.

Darton

The Minister of Defense of the Kingdom of Fiore. He is a reluctant participant in Arcadios' Eclipse Plan.

---

• Easily Forgiven: Arcadios seems to forgive or at least chooses to forget the fact that Darton had him arrested and tossed into Hell Palace to be executed without trial.
• Good Is Not Nice
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has a scar halfway across his nose.
• Miniature Senior Citizens
• Nice Hat
• Only Sane Man: He knows the risks of messing with the past.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: Even after arresting Lucy, he assures the rest of Fairy Tail that they can negotiate her release with the king if they win the Grand Magic Games. Fairy Tail isn't willing to take that risk, however.
• Unusual Eyebrows: His are T-shaped.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: He eventually opposes Arcadios' Eclipse Plan before it can start, but arrests Arcadios, Lucy, and Yukino just for being involved.

For this reason, many of its members have an intense hatred of Fairy Tail for the damage that they cause.

• Evil Twin: Jellal is his, or at least that's what he says.

• Man in White
• The Mole
• The Reveal: He and his "brother" Jellal are one and the same. Far more effective in the anime, where the idea that they're brothers is established earlier and more frequently than in the manga, where it's only brought up a mere few pages before The Reveal.
• Teen Genius: He's the youngest member of the Council and the Ten Wizard Saints, and is seen as a prodigy.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair

Ultear Milkovich

• Dude Looks Like a Lady

  • Later, in the same arc when Dranbalt says Acnologia is coming.
• Pet the Dog: Allows Jellal a chance to have one last conversation with his companions before taking him in for a life sentence.

• Fake Memories: He rewrites the memories of every member of Fairy Tail present during the S-Class trial.

• Only Sane Man: For both Fairy Tail, opposing their reckless charge on Hades and recommending a sensible retreat, and for the Magic Council by rejecting the possibility of obliterating Fairy Tail.
• Pet the Dog: Saving Wendy from Azuma's attack. This goes a long way, considering he was approaching Memetic Molester status in regards to her. There's also his objections to the possibility of the Council firing Etherion on the island the S-Class Trial is held.
• Red Herring: Readers are first led to believe that he is a newly-introduced member of Fairy Tail, and then given heavy hinting that he's a dark wizard working for Grimoire Heart to revive Zeref. It turns out, though, that he's just a member of the Magic Council who now has plans to get dirt on Fairy Tail, expose that they're hiding Zeref, and get rid of Grimoire Heart at the same time.
• Remember the New Guy: Enforced. His debut in the manga is in the same chapter, nay, the same page as his candidacy for the S-Class Trial is announced.
• Teleportation: One of his magics.

• Made a Slave
• More than Mind Control: Jellal tells them that Erza had gone mad with her newfound magical power and tried leading them into a trap, and keeps feeding them lies for years to ensure they remain faithful to him.
  • The English dub tweaks things a bit by saying that Jellal ensured their loyalty with a mind control spell that only works after tricking them all the same (which Simon resists thanks to the Power of Trust). This makes more sense out of their almost insane hostility towards Erza despite their earlier love for her, and their swift return to their original friendliness once they realize they were being manipulated.
• Quirky Miniboss Squad: To Jellal during the Tower of Heaven arc.
• True Companions: They were this to Erza as a child.

• Heroic Sacrifice/Taking the Bullet: Simon takes an attack meant to kill both Erza and Natsu by himself, and the results are rather predictable.

The Shadow Dragon who raised Rogue, and was killed by him to turn him into a "true" Dragon Slayer.

---

• Casting a Shadow

• Posthumous Character

---

• Chekhov's Gunman: He reappears later as one of the seven dragons to make it through the gate. Of course, he doesn't know who Lucy and Wendy are at this point.
• The Gadfly: He scares Team Natsu (except Erza, who wasn't present, and Wendy, who's concentrating on keeping his spirit around) just to see their reaction.
• Jerkass
• Mr. Exposition
• The Nudifier: His Breath Weapon.

• Posthumous Character
• Power Perversion Potential: Averted. His Breath Weapon can rid the clothes of of a human being, but he does it just so he can eat them. According to him, clothing ruins the flavor.
• The Runt at the End/What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Compared to the other dragons, Zirconis is pathetic and pretty much a joke. Not that this makes him less dangerous, as he manages to No Sell Mira's Satan Soul attack as if it was nothing.
• Spell My Name with an S: Is it Zirconis or Zilconis?
• To Serve Man: And he's proud of it. He even considers 400 years ago to be peaceful times because dragons were top of the food chain and could eat humans as they pleased.

Motherglare

Another of the seven dragons that comes through the Eclipse Gate.

---

• Giant Flyer: Serves as this to Future Rogue.
• Made Of Diamond: Claims to have an adamantine body, impervious even to the fangs of other dragons. To his/her defense, it has a body full of hard-looking scales.
• Mook Maker: Can create mini-dragon creatures.
  • Mother of a Thousand Young
• One Bad Mother: Though its actual gender hasn't been confirmed yet.
• Wave Motion Gun: It's Breath Weapon, formed by a yet-to-be-identified element. Whatever it is, It can't harm Atlas Flame's body.

Atlas Flame

One of the seven dragons that manages to come through the Eclipse Gate.

---

• Badass: Even though it is attributed to being a dragon, he still qualifies for being able to No Sell a giant Makarov's fists and Laxus' lightning.
• Heel Face Turn: After finding out that Natsu is Igneel's son.
• Honorary Uncle: Natsu calls him "Uncle" after Atlas Flame reveals he's Igneel's friend.

• Playing with Fire: Igneel is not the only one who has a domain over fire.
  • Hell Fire: He describes his Breath Weapon as such before unleashing it against Fairy Tail.
  • Wreathed in Flames: He apparently has flames instead of flesh, giving the overall impression of a burning dragon skeleton.
• Take A Third Option: Implied. He's good friends with Igneel, a dragon in the pro-human faction, but doesn't seem to mind eating humans or barbecuing them. It's likely that he stayed out of the dragon civil war, taking neither side to avoid facing his friend.

Revire

Another of the seven dragons that comes through the Eclipse Gate.

---

• Beard of Evil: Despite his ichtian looks, he sports a beard at the tip of his chin.

A race of winged cat-like creatures from Edolas, and the species Happy and Carla come from. They live in the floating island city of Extalia and are revered by the humans of Edolas as holy beings due to their ability to contain magic in their bodies, which humans from Edolas cannot do. This is really just a story fabricated by the rulers of Extalia to hide their race's weakness and keep them from being bullied. The entire Exceed race is sent to Earth-land together with the magic power stored in Edolas.

---

• Cat Folk
• Five Fingered Paw
• Power Gives You Wings: Aera

Chagot

The ruler of Extalia and queen of the Exceed, revered as a god in Edolas. However, her divinity is just a ruse to keep the humans of Edolas in check. She is also Carla's mother.

---

• Barefoot Cartoon Animal
• Broken Bird: She's even missing a wing.
• The Cat Behind The Man: Thoroughly subverted. She seems to be this to Faust, but he becomes tired of having her behind.
• Face Framed In Shadow
• Hot Mom: Seems to be quite beautiful as far as Exceed go.

• Bash Brothers: Subverted; Ichiya tries to invoke this, but he severely overestimates Nichiya's power.
• Bishie Sparkle
• Cat Guy
• Catch Phrase: Shares Ichiya's exclamation of "Men~!!"
• Chivalrous Pervert
• Cowardly Lion: Not so much as Ichiya, though. In fact, he actually looks like a lion.
• Fiery Redhead
• Gonk
• Large Ham
• Manly Tears/Ocular Gushers: They start flowing out while he declares Happy and Carla to be traitors once they desert their mission. Justified since he knows full well that there is no mission for them to desert, but is forced to chase them down to keep up appearances despite knowing of their innocence.
• The Nose Knows
• Small Name, Big Ego
• Verbal Tic: "Men~!"
• The Worf Effect

Nadi

Extalia's long-necked Minister of State.

---

• Cats Are Mean: He was in charge of the program that sent Happy and Carla to Earth-land to kill Dragon Slayers, and claims to kill other humans on command. However, this is all just a lie to keep humans in check which, considering Faust, is not that bad of an idea. All in all, he's a pretty nice guy.
• Dissonant Serenity: He smiles cheerfully while talking about how humans are inferior and how the Exceeds kill them when their population grows too much. Of course, this is just part of the Jerkass Façade.
• Going Through the Motions: He never stops pumping his right fist into the air. It's so contagious that Team Natsu picks it up temporarily.
• Jerkass Façade: He pretends to be an arrogant bastard who looks down on humans just so he can maintain peace among his people.
• Long Neck

• Happy, We Are Your Parents: They never tell him, though.

Zeref

The most evil wizard who ever lived. He is known to have used magic to create demons and kill everything around him, and is responsible for most of the world's problems, directly and inderectly. Many evil wizards have hoped to resurrect him since his defeat 400 years ago. In reality, he has been living all this time on Sirius Island, where he's had plenty of time to think about all the trouble his magic causes.

---

• The Aloner
• Anti-Villain: He's a mix of Types I, II, and III, with a dash of IV.
• Apologetic Attacker
• Badass Long Robe
• Bad Powers, Good People: Maybe.
• Big Bad: He is this for the whole series.
• Big Damn Villains: He appears to mean well, so the villain part is currently debatable, but when Hades is driven off with no sign of repenting, he's the one who takes care of him.
• Bishōnen
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Zancrow and Hades got their asses handed to them by him.
• Curse: Zeref suffers from a rather cruel variation of this. Basically, the more he values life, the more everything around him dies. On the other hand, if he does not value life, he will regain control of his immense magic, and he will no longer automatically kill everything around him. However, the fact that he doesn't value life means that he will probably still kill people anyway, only intentionally this time. This way, it is set up so that he will always end up killing people, whether he wants to or not.
• Dark Is Evil: He's not called "Black Wizard" for nothing; along with other, more common dark magics, he could create his own demons and magical objects that were designed to kill people.
• Death Glare: The image above shows how good he is at this.
• Death Seeker: He expects to be killed by Natsu someday.
• The Dreaded
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette
• Establishing Character Moment: Apologizing to the wolves that die trying to attack him.
• Evil Sorcerer
• Eviler than Thou: Hades never stood a chance against this guy.
• Fan Nickname: The Killing Mage.
• Heel Realization: Had one over 400 years ago.
• Kaleidoscope Eyes: They change between red and black depending on his mood.
• Killer Rabbit
• Living MacGuffin: Several villains are out for his power, if not his very existence.
• More than Meets the Eye
• My God, What Have I Done?
• One-Man Army/Person of Mass Destruction: The most powerful wizard in history, bar none.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: His "Living Magic" allows him to create giant demons of immense, nigh-unstoppable power, including Eldritch Abominations such as Lullaby and Deliora.
  • Nigh Invulnerable: Takes a punch from Natsu without a scratch.
  • One-Hit Kill: He kills Zancrow and Hades with a single spell.
  • Walking Wasteland
    • Instant Death Radius: Things die around him. No touching needed.
    • Power Incontinence: Zeref's harmless without his powers, but once they've activated he can't stop them.
• Only He Can Kill Me/The Only One Allowed to Defeat Me: What he thinks of Natsu.
• Posthumous Character: Subverted.
• Really 400 Years Old
• Red Baron: "The Black Wizard"
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: A signifier that he has killing intent.
• Redemption Demotion: Played with. Zeref outright states that learning the value of life made him weaker, but it also led to his Power Incontinence, suggesting not so much a loss of power as a loss of control.
• Reluctant Warrior: The reason he kills Hades is solely because Grimoire Heart wanted to use him to destroy more lives.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Ultear and her guild are out to unseal him. His "resurrection" by Jellal was part of a plot to help unseal him. Ultimately subverted later on; he was never sealed to begin with, he just didn't feel like doing anything.
• Tears of Remorse
• Tranquil Fury
• Walking Spoiler: It's virtually impossible to talk about him to someone who hasn't gotten to the point where he shows up without ruining something.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds
• You Won't Like Me When I'm Angry: His mere expression has been enough to make people cry when he's pissed off.

Bora

---

• Continuity Nod: He appears in Juvia's flashback during the Phantom Lord arc as one of the men who couldn't stand the constant rain.
• Defeat Means Friendship: In the anime only, he straightens up his act after being defeated and has Natsu to thank for it. He goes on to act relatively chummy with Fairy Tail by wishing them luck before they put on a play, and appearing during their annual Fantasia parade as a spectator.
• Jerkass
• Lighter and Softer: In the manga, he goes as far as attempting to brand Lucy as a slave with a scorching hot iron, which was removed entirely from the anime. This is given a Hand Wave in the anime later on, with him saying he was actually just scouting for glamour models in an overly-aggressive fashion.
• Playing with Fire

---

• Arc Villain: Of the Daybreak arc.

---

• Action Mom
• Adult Fear
• And I Must Scream: She uses Iced Shell on Deliora, which transformed her entire body into the ice freezing the demon, and she stays alive in this form.

• Heroic Sacrifice
• Hot Mom
• An Ice Person: The strongest of these seen in the series.
• Informed Ability: Though she is stated to be the strongest wizard in the country, apart from Iced Shell, which both Gray and Lyon can use, she isn't shown doing much fighting-wise.
• Missing Mom: She left her daughter with researchers in the hopes that they could help her cope with her abnormally large magical power. Unfortunately, the researchers told Ur that her daughter was dead, all while experimenting on the girl. So Ultear came to believe that Ur abandoned and replaced her, and Ur had to deal with the guilt that she couldn't do anything for her precious daughter.
• Not Quite Dead: Her body is actually the ice that sealed Deliora, and she continues to watch over her two students.
• Posthumous Character: Not quite, but close enough.
• Sexy Mentor

Jude Heartfilia

Lucy's father, and the owner of a railroad company who puts his business before his daughter.

---

• Aww, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: A father-daughter example, though they're sadly not together when their love for each other is proven: before his death, Jude sends Lucy gifts (including a year's worth of rent money) every year on her birthday for the seven years she is missing, because he has that much faith she is still alive. Thanks to this, Lucy finally admits that she loves her father.
• Beard of Sorrow: After losing his money.

• Married to the Job: He became this way after his wife died.
• Musical Theme Naming: Jude's name, like Lucy's, is from a Beatles song ("Hey Jude").
  • Family Theme Naming
• Poor Communication Kills: He probably would have gotten that carriage ride to work if he: 1.) asked more politely to Lucy; 2.) explained what he wanted 100,000 Jewel for; and 3.) had any idea how cheap carriage rides are.
• Rebuilt Pedestal: To Lucy, as the story progresses. He was emotionally distant and, at times, even abusive to Lucy as a young girl after his wife's death. As such, Lucy grows up to hate his guts and runs away from home. When he hires Phantom Lord to bring her back by force, she cuts ties with him completely. Only after losing his fortune and realizing his own foolish behavior does he manage to begin mending his relationship with his daughter, but it's not until after he dies and proves his devotion to Lucy after she goes missing for seven years that Lucy admits for the first time in years that she loves him.
• Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: After losing all his money, Jude asks Lucy for 100,000 Jewel. Lucy thinks he's being his usual jerkish self and refuses, only for him to later point out he was just asking for money to pay for a carriage to work.
• Self-Made Man: Lucy's father apparently worked himself up the ladder, starting with a merchant guild he met Layla in. After losing his wealth, he decides to work himself up from the bottom once again.

Mato

The mascot and referee of the Grand Magic Games. He's actually King Toma E. Fiore in disguise.

---

• Art Evolution: His mask's face goes through several changes very quickly over the Grand Magic Games arc. Compare his costume on the elimination round◊, first day◊, and third day◊ of the games; his eyes and hat get progressively larger and closer together, and he loses his dark-colored lips. His appearance in the anime is a blend between his Day 1 and Day 3 looks.

A shadow that possesses Rogue Cheney during the final event of the Grand Magic Games. It's really Rogue Cheney himself from seven years in the future. Like Future Lucy, he came to the present using the Eclipse, though his plans for the future are much more sinister.

---

• Arc Villain: Of the Grand Magic Games Arc.
• The Beastmaster
• Because Destiny Says So: Twisted a bit. He tells the heroes that Lucy will close the gates to the Eclipse because of this, but only because closing the gates will stop the dragons from getting through, and because Lucy is the only one capable of doing it.
• Dangerously Genre Savvy: Orders the dragons to not kill his present self in order for a Stable Time Loop to occur and is implied to have some plans to assure his safety as well.
• Demonic Possession: He takes over Rogue's body.
• Didn't See That Coming: He never expected Gajeel would eat his shadow and become the Iron-Shadow Dragon Slayer.
  • He came to the present not knowing there'd be another Lucy to screw things up for him.
  • He gets hit by this a third time when Natsu breaks his control over Atlas Flame via The Power of Friendship and rides him into battle.
• Dragon Rider
• Establishing Character Moment: For a so-called Well-Intentioned Extremist, trying to go out his way to kill Gajeel doesn't seem very...heroic.
• Eye Scream: He's missing his right eye.
• Facial Markings: Has a tattoo on the left side of his face.
• Fashionable Asymmetry
• Future Badass: He has evidently become far stronger, and is able to wipe out entire waves of soldiers without much effort. He's also powerful enough to defeat Natsu even when the latter isn't holding back by invoking his full power. Natsu himself recognizes Future Rogue as an powerful enemy,and admiting that someone is stronger than him is not something usual for Natsu.
• Future Me Scares Me: Even before realizing it's his future self and how horrible he'll become, Present Rogue is unnerved by his suggestion they kill Gajeel. Even Frosch doesn't recognize his friend when he becomes possessed, despite them technically being the same person.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: Has one completely replacing his right eye.
• Hero Killer: He kills Future Lucy, and murdered his own timeline's Sting. He is also the first person since Fukuro to completely defeat Natsu.
• Kill All Humans: Plans to create a new Age of Dragons by using the dragons that came through the Eclipse Gate to wipe out humanity.
• Living Shadow: He initially appears as nothing more than a shadow that possesses Rogue, his present self.
• The Man Behind the Man: To Hisui; he's the real reason the Eclipse 2 Project exists.
• Manipulative Bastard: He comes from the future claiming to save it from 10,000 dragons when he really wants to create a Stable Time Loop where the dragons attack anyway, and tells Princess Hisui that the Eclipse can be used as a weapon to defeat them when there's no such thing. Also, by trying to kill Lucy for trying to close the Eclipse, he tricks the heroes into thinking that closing the gate is a bad idea, leaving the doors open long enough for a few dragons to get through.
• Multicolored Hair
• Oh Crap: He's visibly sweating when he notices that Natsu has eaten Atlas Flames' flames.
• Peek-A-Bangs: To hide his missing right eye.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Subverted; he says he wishes to save the past by using something called the Eclipse Cannon back when it is powerful enough to defeat the dragons that will ravage Fiore, and that Lucy will get in the way. Then it turns out he made the whole thing up so Princess Hisui would open the Eclipse so the dragons can come through it, giving him a strong enough army to take down Acnologia and rule the world; the bit about Lucy getting in the way still holds, though.
• Swallowed Whole: He subjects the Kingdom's soldiers, including the Hungry Wolf Knights, to this via his shadows.
• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: When it is revealed that Rogue intended to destroy Acnologia, this trope comes to mind. His original plan involved using TEN-THOUSAND Dragons to destroy the lone Acnologia.
• Took a Level in Badass: Present!Rogue and Sting get their asses handed by Natsu in the games. Future!Rogue mandhandles the living hell out of the same guy.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: Present!Rogue is the Token Good Teammate of Sabertooth who reacts to the nature of his teammates with distaste. Future!Rogue has no trouble murdering Lucy and enslaving the human race, knowing it will likely make them extinct.
• Walking Spoiler
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Subverted; Natsu notices he's too evil to have intentions as good as saving the future, and he's right.
• Yin Yang Bomb: He killed Sting and stole his White Dragon powers. The combo is powerful enough to defeat Natsu.
