1 | Finally finding where his friends are being held by Vergil, Natsu does battle with the Devil Prince in an intense fight that sees Gray and Gajeel get involved as well. |
2 | ---- |
3 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Vergil, per usual, which he backs up given his trouncing of his opponents. |
4 | * BerserkerTears: ''Happy'' of all people has these after [[TheDreaded Vergil]] horrifically wounds [[TrueCompanions Natsu]], flying to attack the Son of Sparda in his ''[[SuperMode Devil Trigger]]''. |
5 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Natsu leaps between Vergil and Wendy as the former goes to kill her with a [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] enhanced slash from Yamato, outright telling him not to hurt his sister. |
6 | * BreakTheCutie: Happy and Wendy's sheer shock at seeing Natsu critically injured at Vergil's hand. |
7 | * BreakThemByTalking: Vergil continues this trend against Natsu, both taunting him about the (lacking) strength of his flames and saying Igneel abandoned him. Naturally, [[HotBlooded this gets on Natsu's nerves]]. |
8 | * BringIt: Natsu gives a lovely start-up taunt before throwing hands with Vergil. |
9 | -->'''Natsu:''' [[ThisIsUnforgivable I hate the fact that you kidnapped my friends]]. [[KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil I hate it, that you still have to nerve to call yourself Dante's brother after all you've done to him]]. [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking And I]] ''[[ArsonMurderandJaywalking really]]'' [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking hate]] [[ArrogantKungFuGuy that cocky attitude of yours]] So I'm gonna have to take you down a few notches. Hear me Devil Boy?! LET'S DANCE!\ |
10 | '''Vergil:''' Well then, Salamander, show me the true destructive potential of your power. |
11 | * TheCavalry: Three times over, with varying degrees of effectiveness. |
12 | ** [[ActionGirl Lady and Trish]] show up, [[CurbStompBattle but sadly don't last a minute]]. |
13 | ** [[AnIcePerson Gray]] and [[ExtraOreDinary Gajeel]] show up to assist Natsu in his fight against Vergil. |
14 | ** Finally, [[TheAce Dante]] shows up just after Vergil has critically injured Natsu. |
15 | * ClothingDamage: What Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel's efforts against Vergil amount to, having little more than a scuffed coat to show for the beatdown he received. |
16 | * CombinationAttack: [[PlayingWithFire Natsu]] and [[ExtraOreDinary Gajeel]] unleash their respective [[BreathWeapon Dragon Roars]] on Vergil at the same time... [[SuperToughness sadly, it doesn't work]]. |
17 | * CoolVersusAwesome: A fight between the Dragon Slayer [[PersonOfMassDestruction Natsu]] and the half demon [[OneManArmy Vergil]]. |
18 | * CurbStompBattle: |
19 | ** It takes Vergil less than a minute to dispatch Lady and Trish, the two failing to land a single blow. |
20 | ** Once he breaks out his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]], he runs roughshod over Gray, Gajeel ''and'' Natsu, knocking all three out in quick succession. |
21 | * DarkestHour: Of the arc, with all the members of Fairy Tail's rescue team being captured and/or defeated, and Natsu is critically injured. |
22 | * DynamicEntry: How Dante makes his entrance, saving Happy via a boot to [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] Vergil's face. |
23 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Vergil is completely baffled by Natsu [[TakingTheBullet taking the sword swing meant for Wendy]], calling it foolish even for [[IdiotHero him]]. He outright says [[LampshadeHanging he'll never understand the guild wizards]]. |
24 | * ForcedToWatch: The captured members are unable to help Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel in their fight thanks to the magic-suppressing manacles. |
25 | * GoodColorsEvilColors: Natsu (and later Dante's) {{red|IsHeroic}} auras, Gray's [[BlueMeansCold blue]] and Gajeel's [[EmeraldPower green]] against Vergil's [[DarkIsEvil dark blue]]. |
26 | * HeroicResolve: Despite being scared out of her mind from witnessing [[TheDreaded Vergil]] [[CurbStompBattle wipe the floor with three of her guild's strongest members]], Wendy still attempts to protect her [[FamilyOfChoice new family]] by attacking him with a Sky Dragon's Roar. This sadly backfires since he easily dodges and decides that he needs to [[WouldHurtAChild deal with her permanently]], and would have done so if not for [[BigBrotherInstinct Natsu's intervention]]. |
27 | * LackOfEmpathy: Vergil has no reaction to Natsu TakingTheBullet other than confusion as to why he'd do so, and even [[KickTheDog insults his intelligence in front of his distraught friends]]. |
28 | * MamaBear: Once they find the others, Carla's first priority is to free Wendy from her manacles. |
29 | * MythologyGag: |
30 | ** Several parts of the dialogue from Natsu and Vergil's fight are lifted from the former's fight with Jellal. |
31 | ** Vergil's insult to Natsu about the strength of his flames is a nod to his victory quote against Ghost Rider in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3''. |
32 | ** Natsu's ShutUpHannibal to Vergil is similar to his one against Byro, while Gray taunting his friend about losing is taken from ''Time Begins to Tick''. |
33 | ** Lucy admitting how glad she is to see [[BigDamnHeroes Dante's arrival]] is taken from ''The Man Without An Emblem''. |
34 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Even the likes of [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Lady and Gajeel]] are as openly horrified as the rest of Fairy Tail after Vergil critically injured Natsu, the latter even [[SayMyName yelling "SALAMANDER!"]] |
35 | * OhCrap: Fairy Tail's reaction when Vergil emerges from the beatdown Natsu, Gajeel, and Gray gave him with little more than a scuffed coat. It intensifies when he enters his [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]]. |
36 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel all show this to some degree, though they're sadly outclassed by Vergil. |
37 | * PunchCatch: Natsu attempts a Fire Dragons Iron Fist against [[SuperMode Devil Trigger]] Vergil, with this being the result. The Son of Sparda then begins to crush his opponent's hand. |
38 | * ShoutOut: The members of Fairy Tail's {{deadpan|Snarker}} responses to Vergil's boasting of his own might are similar to [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Alexander Louis Armstrong's]]. |
39 | * SpeedBlitz: Vergil switches from Yamato to Beowulf to overwhelm Natsu. It doesn't work thanks to the Dragon Slayer's senses and instincts letting him anticipate his opponent. |
40 | * StatingTheSimpleSolution: Both Sons of Sparda agree their father could have saved everyone a lot of hassle by simply hiding the two halves of the Perfect Amulet in some random volcanoes rather than giving them to the humans. |
41 | * SuperMode: |
42 | ** Vergil once again breaks out his Devil Trigger, which lets him utterly thrash Gray, Gajeel, and Natsu in rapid succession. |
43 | ** At the end of the chapter, Dante consciously uses his own for the first time, preparing for a showdown with [[ArcVillain his brother]]. |
44 | * TakingTheBullet: [[BigBrotherInstinct Natsu]] intercepts Vergil's slash aimed at Wendy. |
45 | * ThisCannotBe: The captured members of Fairy Tail's reaction to Vergil continuing to defeat their best. |
46 | * WingdingEyes: Juvia develops hearts in her eyes upon seeing Gray [[TheCavalry arrive with Gajeel]]. |
47 | * WouldHurtAChild: After Wendy breaks free and attempts to attack him, Vergil backhands her into a wall and goes to ''kill her'' with Yamato. It's only thanks to [[BigBrotherInstinct Natsu's]] [[TakingTheBullet actions]] that she survives. |
48 | * YouMonster: Wendy and Happy's reaction to Vergil critically injuring Natsu, the latter flying at him in a rage... only to be casually caught and manhandled. |
