10 God Serena could never show his true power

First appearance: Episode 286, “Rules of the Region”

Fairy tale Fans know that a character like God Serena is easy to forget. The series made such a big deal about him even before his first appearance, calling him the most powerful dragon slayer and talking about him having mastered eight different dragon slaying styles. However, he was dispatched in one hit by Acnologia and from then on he was something of a joke.

Before this fight, however, Serena did defeat all the most powerful members of the Ten Great Wizard Saints with ease. Even if they are revived, Even as a shadow of his former self, Serena could stand up to Gildartsthe strongest member of Fairy Tail. It’s safe to assume that anyone other than Acnologia would probably have been crushed by his power.

9 Invel Yura

First appearance: Episode 287, “Emperor Spriggan”

Invel, another member of the Spriggan 12, became Zeref’s main strategist. His intelligence allowed him to lead Zeref’s army while also giving him advice. However, he was still one of the hardest members to defeat.

Invel literally has the power of ice magic – he doesn’t create ice, he can simply freeze anything he wants.

Invel’s Ice Slave Magic can freeze another person’s free will, while his Ice Lock ability can freeze a person’s ability to think for themselves. Perhaps most ridiculously, Invel was even able to freeze Gray’s own ice magic. While it may sound a bit cheesy, Gray was only able to defeat him through a classic, albeit overused, shonen cliche of the power of friendship.

8 Larcade Dragneel brought all his opponents to their knees

First appearance: Episode 305, “White Dragneel”

Larcade was considered the third most powerful member of the Spriggan 12, just behind August and Irene. Another being created by Zeref when he tried to revive Natsu. Larcade’s power was enough to include him in Zeref’s main army.. With his power, he was able to defeat entire wizard guilds single-handedly, and not even the Saber-Toothed Tiger Guild was a match for him.

Larcade’s power comes from manipulating human desires and needs. His main ability is to give people so much pleasure that they lose their lives. But his other abilities are even more terrifying: he can make people so hungry that they try to eat their own allies, or put them into a deep sleep from which they only awaken when Larcade is defeated.

7 Faris has dangerous abilities as a white mage

First appearance: Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest Episode 1, “The ‘first’ guild and the ‘strongest’ guild”

Introduced in Fairy Tail 100 Years QuestFaris is a fearsome villain for any magician in the Fairy tale Universe. Although she seems innocent enough, Faris has the power of Whiteout, which allows her to limit or completely eliminate a person’s magical power.In a world of magicians, the ability to wipe out a person’s magical powers must be considered a major threat.

Faris not only has the ability to erase a person’s magic, however. She can also make them lose control of their magic completely, or even control them and turn them into slaves. This power has no limit either, as Faris caused the water dragon god Mercphobia to lose control of his abilities. Faris is already considered to be on Zeref’s level and is someone Fairy Tail must always be one step ahead of if they want to stand a chance.

6 Irene Belserion was the mother of dragons

Episode 301, “Fighting Spirit”

Irene Belserion, another of the strongest members of the Spriggan 12, should have been unstoppable. Originally just a close confidante of a dragon village, she learned dragon slayer magic to protect her fellow humans. However, the dragon slayer magic transformed her body and eventually turned her into a dragon herself.

Years later, Irene gave up dragon slayer magic when her human form was restored, and instead devoted herself to sorcery magic, which allows her to give herself special abilities or even gain allies by enchanting objects with personalities. Irene has such large magical reserves that she could manipulate the size and shape of a country and still has more than enough magic to overpower her daughter Erza in battle.

5 August could master and copy all magic spells

Episode 287: “Emperor Spriggan”

August was one of the most powerful members of the Spriggan 12. Although he seemed like a kindly old man, there were few mages who could keep up with him when he gave it his all. However, given his lineage, his incredible power is understandable.

August was the child of Mavis Vermillion and Zeref Dragneel. With his incredible copying abilities, he could not only copy any magic he saw, but also neutralize it, leaving almost any mage he fought helpless. August used this power in the service of his father, Emperor Zeref, and nearly took down Fairy Tail single-handedly if it weren’t for Cana and her Holder magic.

4 Zeref is one of the most talented wizards of all time

First appearance: Episode 96, “Who Extinguishes Life”

As one of the oldest figures in Fairy tale, everything in Fairy tale goes back to Zeref’s actions as a teenager. His attempt to revive Natsu earned him the Curse of Contradictions, a spell that makes him destroy everything he holds dear. However, Zeref still wanted to revive his brother and his actions inspired most of the Dark Guilds active today. He was even directly responsible for the formation of the Etherious, who later founded the most powerful Dark Guild, Tartaros.

Zeref’s goal was to gain infinite magic and travel back in time to defeat Acnologia before his strength increased. However, even without achieving this goal, he was powerful enough to take an entire country’s military under his wing, leading to the creation of the Alvarez Empire. Even the strongest members of the Spriggan 12 are aware that their powers are no match for Zeref’s own abilities.

In Fairy Tail: Hundred-Year JourneyNatsu and his allies meet a new guild, Diabolos. What distinguishes Diabolos from all other guilds is the group that consists of complete of dragon slayers. In particular, fifth generation dragon slayers who gain their power by eating dragons.

Those that viewers have met so far include Madmole, who relies on impenetrable defense as the Armor Dragon Slayer, Skullion Raider, who abuses the power of Ash, and Kiria, who can cut through anything, including someone’s own courage and self-confidence.

2 Acnologia’s hatred of dragons would have destroyed the whole world

First appearance: Episode 122: “Let’s work together”

For a large part Fairy taleAcnologia was the greatest threat to Fairy Tail and the world. In his first appearance, he destroyed Fairy Tail’s home, Tenrou Island, and caused its strongest warriors to be trapped in a time bubble for seven years. In each subsequent appearance, he was shown as a fighter to be avoided –be it killing Natsu’s adoptive father Igneel or killing God Serena with one blow. He is one of the most powerful dragons in the anime, not only Fairy tale.

Once a normal mage, Acnologia defeated so many dragons with his dragon slayer powers that he became a dragon himself by bathing in their blood. His incredible power caused even Zeref to spend centuries amassing enough power to defeat him, and Zeref’s best response was to travel back in time to prevent his existence. Fairy Tail was only able to defeat him by sealing off his body from his mind and defeating his mind with the cooperation of all seven dragon slayers at once.

1 Ignia doesn’t care who he hurts if he gets what he wants

First appearance: Fairy Tail 100-Year Quest Episode 6: “The Lineage of Fire”

How evil Ignia is is debatable, but when he appeared, he used a flame that would have incinerated Ermina Town if Natsu hadn’t absorbed it. He also didn’t care that Natsu went crazy after absorbing that power. For Ignia, the only thing that matters is a final match with Igneel’s adopted sonHe is certainly anything but a good person.

Whether Natsu can actually defeat Ignia is another question, however. The Dragon Gods of the 100-Year Quest are all said to be stronger than Acnologia, and to defeat Acnologia, the entire Fairy Tail guild had to work together. Right now, it looks like Ignia is the last boss to defeat in the anime, and even in the manga, readers seem to be a long way from seeing him fall.
