* LastMomentTogether: The series has several notable moments and all of them are played tragically in one form or another.
** After Simon end up TakingTheBullet for one of Jellal's attacks for Erza, it ends up costing Simon his life as said attack ends up being fatal, with Simon [[DiedInYourArmsTonight dying in Erza's arms]] with [[ChildhoodFriendRomance his feelings for Erza that he's had since his childhood]] remaining [[HopelessSuitor unrequited up until his death]].
** Jude was HappilyMarried to his wife Layla up until she died from magic deficiency disease which hit him extremely hard to the point of [[WorkAholic focusing all of his time on his work]] and [[ParentalNeglect neglecting his daughter Lucy in the process]] in order for him to deal with his grief. While Jude does eventually get over his grief, [[SingleTargetSexuality he never remarries after Layla's passing]] and [[DevotedToYou remains devoted to her up until his death]].
** While the nature of their relationship is ambiguous, however it's made clear that [[DoppelgangerGetsSameSentiment Future Lucy is just as important to Natsu as her present self is]]. Future Lucy's death hits Natsu hard to the point that not only does he call her precious and ends up crying over her dead body, but when he find out that [[AnArmAndALeg she lost her right arm]] which had her guild mark on it, he has a very heartwarming flashedback which depicts Lucy surround by light showing off when she first got said guild mark. Once the Eclipse Gate is destroyed [[KilledOffForReal Future Lucy's death isn't undone]], [[NoBodyLeftBehind her body disappears]] and [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence her spirit goes to the Golden Fields]] where [[TogetherInDeath she meets her version of her friends]], meaning she will never get to see the present version of Natsu ever again.

* NearMisses: Most of Sniper Drake's shots end up as this courtesy of Wendy's quick reflexes allowing her to DodgeTheBullet. He eventually takes out Sagittarius after a couple of ShootTheBullet exchanges, though.

** It's revealed that [[spoiler:Ur had been told by some researchers that her SicklyAndDelicate daughter Ultear had died, when in reality, they kidnapped and experimented on the girl because of her magical power. Ultear is one of the villains, and for worse, she hates her mother Ur because she has been led to believe that she hated and abandoned her]].

Boobs Of Steel has been disambiguated


** An interesting twist. Erza tries to pull Natsu into one while apologizing, either forgetting or ignoring the fact that she's wearing steel armor. Complete with a sound effect and Natsu complaining about the pain. Erza does this to Lucy and Gray at least once as well. When we learn more about Erza's past, one may figure this is a part of her psychological dependence on armor and her difficulty actually letting others get close. The gag hasn't repeated itself since, so presumably the issue is resolved. [[IncrediblyLamePun Give new meaning to the phrase]] BoobsOfSteel.

* MakeMeWannaShout: How Natsu defeats Cobra. After "not thinking" to confuse Cobra goes south when Cobra starts fighting back with poison, Natsu turns Cobra's sensitive hearing into his weakness, by performing a [[BrownNote Dragon's Roar]], stunning Cobra deaf. In fact the roar is so loud it can be heard for miles away, making Lucy think it's made by an EldritchAbomination or something. And considering Happy could barely stand it with just normal hearing, the effect is absolutely devastating on Cobra's ultra-sensitive hearing.

* ParentsSuckAtMatchmaking: When Lucy returns home to confront Jude over his involvement with the guild war between Phantom Lord and the Fairy Tail guild, Jude reveals that he hired Phantom Lord to retrieve Lucy for an [[ArrangedMarriage arranged marriage]] with Duke Sawarr Junnelle. Lucy, putting it mildly, is not interested in the slightest in marrying Sawarr, in fact she is understandably furious with Jude for setting her up in an arranged marriage in the first place without her consent. [[AbhorrentAdmirer It certainly doesn't help that the one time Lucy does think about Sawarr in a flashback she is shown to feel uncomfortable in regard to his interest in her to say the least.]]

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Most of the support cast populating Fairy Tail. However, they all have [[AllThereInTheManual character bios]] and some have been given character development and backstories.
** The Grand Magic Games arc contains around 200 ''named'' characters, and a fair portion of the total cast isn't in it.



* OnlySixFaces: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zig-zagged]]. Unlike contemporary shonen series with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, ''Fairy Tail'' manages to make even one-shot background characters look unique without resorting to {{gonk}}.... much. That said, [[OnlyOneFemaleMold the female characters]] show signs of this--ironically--''after'' the ArtEvolution. You know it's bad when four important characters--Lucy, Yukino, Hisui, and [[spoiler: Lucy's future self]]--are in the same room in a black-and-white manga and they all look alike. ''One of those'' resemblances is justified, but the others? Not so much. The anime at least tried to make Yukino look slightly different from Lucy.

** Makarov, guild master of Fairy Tail, was forced to exile both his son, Ivan, ''and'' his grandson, Laxus, from his guild. Later on, he finds out that Ivan is planning to lure Laxus to his own guild so he can steal the dragon lacrima in his body, and it's heavily implied that doing so might kill Laxus. Seeing as how Ivan only wants the lacrima for money and doesn't care what removing it will do to his son, it's not hard to see why Makarov looked so horrified upon finding out about this plan.
** Jude Heartfilia. A few weeks after he reconciles with his estranged daughter, Lucy, and manages to get over the sudden death of his wife Layla, who Lucy is the spitting image of, [[spoiler:she and her friends are attacked by a monster and seemingly killed]].

* MoralDissonance: Fairy Tail violated the Grand Magic Games rules by allowing Jellal to pose as Mystogan. Raven Tail was kicked out of the Games for breaking the rules, but Fairy Tail's transgression was never discovered by the officials and brushed aside by those in the know, including a former Magic Council member.



* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Plays a part in why villains are EasilyForgiven. Take [[spoiler:Jellal]], for example: When he was a villain, the protagonists hated him, especially because of what he did to [[spoiler:Erza]]. However, when he shows up in a later arc and helps the main characters, he's eventually forgiven for his past actions entirely. [[spoiler:They even protest and are angry at law enforcement when they show up to arrest Jellal at the end of the arc for his past crimes]]. It is very telling when the spoiler tags become ''fill in the blank''.\\\
