Recap / Fairy May Cry, 25 "The Fairy Hunter and The Black Angel"

Go To

Finding themselves among alternate versions of their guildmates in Edolas, Dante and company attempt to piece together the events transpiring before being attacked by a servant of Edolas' king, by the name of Nelo Angelo.


  • Adaptational Karma: Downplayed, but in canon Lucy Ashley acted as a bully to Natsu (her's and the Earthland version) and suffers not so much as a callout. Here, Dante swiftly and decisively leaves her flat on her back while calling out her attitude. Lisanna even admits she deserves it.
  • Alternate Self: Just like in canon, the members of Edolas Fairy Tail are this to the Earthland members.
  • Always Someone Better:
    • Dante acts as this once again, quickly and decisively dealing with Lucy Ashley.
    • Although Erza Knightwalker is just as feared as in canon, Nelo Angelo is apparently considered even scarier to face.
  • Big Sister Worship: After sharing her Imagine Spot, Wendy admits to having this towards Erza.
  • Brought Down to Badass: Demonic powers or no, Dante is still DANTE, and manages to briefly push back Nelo Angelo.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: If the previous chapters weren't any indication, Natsu's flashback to his childhood with Lisanna makes it clear they were heading in this direction.
  • Continuity Nod: Natsu's flashbacks bring up some scenes from previous chapters and canon episodes involving flashbacks with Lisanna.
  • The Dreaded: Erza Knightwalker, the Fairy Hunter is this as per canon. She shares this status with Nelo Angelo, whose presence has the Edolas Fairy Tail even more scared than before.
  • Entertainingly Wrong: Modeus assures Edolas Fairy Tail are not 'Exceeds'... which proves untrue several chapters later.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Nelo Angelo gets a grand one, his presence inspiring more dread in Edolas Fairy Tail than Erza Knightwalker, and managing to recognise Dante as a Son of Sparda.
  • Everyone Can See It: Apparently Bisca and Alzack, such that Modeus considers their attraction to one another obvious despite barely being in the guild for a week.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Despite loving a good fight himself and being willing to mess with people, Dante considers Lucy Ashley's treatment of Natsu to be going too far.
  • Foreshadowing:
    • Mary mentions Lucy Ashley's aunt, who becomes an important plot point later in the arc.
    • Dante taking notice of Lady's counterpart still going by 'Mary' sets up her Dark and Troubled Past, which becomes relevant in the next arc.
  • Imagine Spot: The group has several imagining what Erza's Alternate Self is like.
    • Natsu thinks she is pushover that he can berate for a change.
    • Happy thinks she will be a loyal minion he can command.
    • Wendy thinks she will be a Team Mom who will bake plenty of treats to spoil her with.
    • Dante imagines her as a devoted servant of Mundus, which disturbs the others.
  • The Lost Lenore: Lisanna is this to Natsu, with the sight of her causing flashbacks to their childhood, and triggering a very emotional reaction from him.
  • Mr. Fanservice: Lucy Ashley apparently considers Dante this, referring to him as "pretty boy".
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • The behaviour of the various members of Fairy Tail is what tips the group off that something isn't right. Dante especially is suspicious by Lady going by Mary.
    • The typically Hot-Blooded Natsu's reaction to seeing Lisanna alive is to stare in shock.
  • Point of Divergence:
    • Instead of Sugarboy, it is Nelo Angelo who stalks Edolas Fairy Tail along with Erza Knightwalker.
    • Natsu's emotional reaction to seeing Lisanna again is stopped by Dante rather than Lucy Ashley, in a much gentler fashion to boot.
  • Power Gives You Wings: Nelo Angelo displays the ability to manifest eagle wings.
  • Seen It All: As everything in the Edolas Fairy Tail guild hall starts to float in preparation for teleporting, an unfazed Dante remarks this isn't the strangest thing to happen to him.
  • Suddenly Shouting: Natsu when Edolas Fairy Tail starts to teleport.
    Natsu: WHY IS EVERYTHING FLOATING!?
  • Sword Pointing: Dante does this to Lucy Ashley with Rebellion to make her concede defeat.
  • Team Mom: Erza's status as this is lampshaded by Wendy admitting she sees her as such.
  • Tough Love: Dante prevents Natsu from greeting the living Lisanna, though he makes sure to give him a minute to process the shock.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Natsu's motion sickness once again rears its head when the process of teleporting apparently manages to set it off.
  • Wham Line: That the Edolas version of Erza is called Erza Knightwalker, and is known as the Fairy Hunter due to being an enemy of Fairy Tail.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Dante admits he prefers not to fight girls, but has no issues doing so to Lucy Ashley, noting she had it coming.
