Episode 151: Entering Sabertooth

On a grassy plain, two young men and their Kamuis discuss the recent return of Fairy Tail's core members.

Rogue: I don't care about that. But I remember you used to be a fan of Natsu. Am I wrong?

Rogue Cheney (ローグ・チェーニ Rōgu Chēni) is a Mage of Sabertooth, formerly the strongest Guild in Fiore, and a member of its team: the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth.[2] Originally a Dragon Slayer from four hundred years past, Rogue was sent to the future to assist in the destruction of Acnologia.[3] Ashamed of the meaning of his name, as a child, Rogue referred to himself as Ryos (ライオス Raiosu).[1] Rogue is a slim young man of average height with rather messy black hair, which almost reaches down to his shoulders, along with some strands pointing upwards on top of his head and a prominent tuft obscuring most of his forehead. His hair is later brushed to the right side of his face covering up his right eye. He has red eyes with slit pupils similar to that of a snake's, like Gajeel Redfox's eyes.[4][5][6] Following the battle against the Dragons, Rogue gains a thin scar across the bridge of his nose.[7] During the war against Tartaros, Rogue put his hair up in a ponytail, furthering his overall resemblance to his future self.[8] Rogue wears a long, black cape reaching down to his feet, with golden edges, a much lighter collar circling his neck, and a prominent, white ribbon hanging down on his chest. Such cape bears a light Sabertooth's symbol on it, almost in correspondence to Rogue's left shoulder. Below it, Rogue seems to wear a plain gray shirt with prominent brown cuffs and what looks like a large metal band circling each of his biceps. From a light sash circling his waist hangs a distinctive, pale blue cloth waistguard, consisting of four long pieces of cloth reaching down below his knees. Each of these pieces is adorned by a large, dark cross with fan-shaped arms. Below such waistguard, Rogue wears a pair of armored boots, which, on the front, bear plates bearing the very same motif which appears on the waistguard.[4][5] Following the Grand Magic Games, Rogue wears an outfit extremely similar to the one he wore before, however certain parts are reminiscent of his future self's own clothing, specifically the cloak, which is high collared and held closed at the sternum by a piece of fabric that stretches across his chest and is buttoned to the cloak on either side; it still retains the mark of Sabertooth on the left shoulder. The cloak, though, is like his old one and has a gold-colored trim. In place of the cloth tie he used in his last outfit, Rogue now has an ascot that is tied around his neck, but lies beneath the cloak instead of around it. Additionally, the cross-adorned cloth Rogue wears around his waist now pokes through his waistband, which is wrapped around him one extra time to make room for his katana, which he still carries.[1] As of the Tartaros-Fairy Tail war, Rogue's attire has changed drastically. He now wears a light-colored leopard-patterned kimono that only covers the right half of his torso, beneath which he wears armor that is light in the chest but dark everywhere else; the neck of the armor coils around his own and fastens there appropriately, and his left arm is left uncovered at the shoulder, exposing his Sabertooth mark. Around his waist is a very long sash that ties on the right side of his body and loops around the left,[8] and holds a design-adorned piece of white fabric in place over the top of his loose, black pants. Around Rogue's left forearm is a black band that has a white ring over the wrist;[9] he completes his outfit with black ankle boots, within which his pants are tucked. His katana is also noticeably absent.[10] Rogue is the quieter of the Twin Dragon Slayers. He mostly keeps a calm face and rarely shows any emotions,[5] sans for interest in Gajeel.[11] Although he is part of Sabertooth and one of their five strongest Mages, Rogue seems to question the way their guild handles things, namely failure and weakness, and holds a strong belief on camaraderie. After Yukino lost her match against Kagura and was subsequently humiliated and excommunicated by their Guild Master, he told Sting that despite her failure, she was still their comrade. Sting, whereas, merely brushes off Rogue's comment, suggesting that it's the way their guild works and gave the matter little thought. Rogue does, however, have a softer, caring side. When his Exceed partner, Frosch, started to fret over being excommunicated because of its lack of strength, Rogue smiles and denounces Frosch's fears as just that, promising that it would be okay as long it was with him.[12] Rogue also seems to lack the sadistic tendencies shared among several of his guildmates. When Lucy was being tortured by Minerva, Rogue did not join in with his teammates' laughter.[13] Rather, Rogue was looking away from the torture with a displeased expression,[14] and he did not jump to Minerva's aid afterwards, unlike his team.[15] He also appears to be unusually kind towards his guild and is very protective of Frosch. He and many of his guildmates were horrified at the "death" of Lector, showing that he cares for his fellow guildmates.[16] Additionally, like most other Dragon Slayers, Rogue suffers from motion sickness.[17] A Magic which allows Rogue to transform the physiology of his body into that of the Shadow Dragon; transforming his body into a shadow that cannot be touched by normal means.[102] With this Magic, Rogue is also able to fade himself into shadows to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks.[103] However, if Rogue is caught while in a tangible form, or by another person in shadow form, he is then vulnerable to attacks.[103][104] The shadows produced by Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic are able to be utilized in several different ways, allowing for a high level of adaptability; the shadows are able to be released in freeform,[105] as condensed,[106] or even molded into the shape of a weapon, taking on the properties of said chosen shape.[107] As a member of the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers, Rogue learned this form of Magic through two means: by receiving the teachings of a Dragon named Skiadrum and by having Dragon Lacrima implanted into his body.[108] Being a product of the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers, Rogue is capable of entering the most powerful form of the Dragon Slayer at will, without the need to consume strong, external sources of Magic. Such a feat greatly surprised those who had intimate knowledge of Dragon Slayer Magic. When this state is activated, Rogue body becomes much more akin to an actual Shadow Dragon's, with his whole body becoming covered in an aura of shadows even thicker and darker than that provided by Shadow Drive, and with thick dark intricate scale-like patterns appearing to cover the outer edges of his face, underneath and around his eyes, extending down from the side of his neck and onto the rest of his body. These are shown to be more and more uniform as they get farther from the central portion of his body, which instead bear several scattered, distinct scales, elongated and placed diagonally.[115]

Sting: Shut up! That was several years ago anyway!

Sting Eucliffe (スティング・ユークリフ Sutingu Yūkurifu) is the current Guild Master of the Sabertooth Guild,[2] wherein he is a part of Twin Dragons of Sabertooth.[3] Originally a Dragon Slayer from four hundred years past, Sting was sent to the future to assist in the destruction of Acnologia.[4] Sting is a slim, yet muscular, toned young man of average height with spiky blond hair, which is kept in strands jutting outwards in every direction, and a smaller, frontal cowlick (or tuft) of hair partially hanging over his forehead. He has slanted, slit pupiled, dark blue eyes; above the right one is a thin, diagonal scar. Sting's left ear is adorned with an earring which, in itself, is attached to by a prominent metal pendant that is crystalline in shape. His white Sabertooth mark is located on his left shoulder.[1][5] As a Dragon Slayer, Sting possesses distinctively sharp canine teeth.[6] Sting dons a blue vest with golden outer edges and inner edges covered by a prominent trimming of gray fur that appears similar to a feather boa over a short, cream top, leaving his muscular upper abdominals exposed. His arms are covered by dark blue gloves reaching up to his mid-bicep, with their upper edges being adorned by light gray bands hanging down several centimeters. He wears loose, cream-colored pants, similar to Natsu's, but held up by suspenders, which are attached to the pants' loops by square-shaped rings that are gold in color. Over them, he dons distinctive dark blue galosh-esque footwear that reaches up to his thighs and attach to the upper edge of his pants. The prominent soles of the "boots" are distinctive in their own right; it has rectangular protrusions pointing upwards on their front portion, reminiscent of square fangs.[1][5] During the last day of the Grand Magic Games, Sting wore a dark blue, gold trimmed jacket, as well as a black, high-collared piece of what appears to be armor underneath, exposing, yet again, his abdominals. With this, Sting wore light-gray colored pants with fang-like designs on the side; he accessorized his outfit with two different belts: one around his waist and one below that that holds a feather boa.[7] His pants are tucked inside boots that are extremely reminiscent of his original pair.[8][9] After the events of Tartaros unfold, Sting appears sporting an outfit similar to his usual attire, albeit with minor modifications. He now wears a light-colored jacket with dark-colored clothing protruding from the inside, with the collar pointed upwards; his new jacket still retains the feather boa. Sting retains his old gloves that cover the majority of his arms and also wears a striped belt and dark pants, which are tucked inside his dark-colored boots.[10][11][12] Sting is a rather calm individual and is usually seen smiling; he rarely ever loses his temper. Sting believes that people who abandon their comrades are scum and does not hesitate to punish them for their acts.[13] Curiously, however, he was angered when Natsu Dragneel said that fighting for his comrades was his reason for entering the Grand Magic Games.[14] Sting seems to have no qualms about having killed his own foster father, thinking that it is natural for a Dragon Slayer to kill a Dragon. This is later shown to be untrue, as both he and Rogue express regret when the Dragons attack Crocus. As such, Sting thinks that Dragon Slayers who are defeated by a Dragon are nothing but a disgrace.[15] Also, as a Dragon Slayer, Sting stereotypically, yet comically, suffers from motion sickness, describing the phenomenon as one befitting of a "real" Dragon Slayer.[16] Sting enjoys watching fights, as he was excited to see Orga and Warcry fight, however, he was disappointed that Orga finished his fight rather quickly.[17] He also desires to fight strong opponents, as after Natsu showcased his strength against Jiemma and much of the Sabertooth Guild, Sting became very excited, relishing in the fact that Natsu was much stronger than he had previously thought.[18] He has also shown good sportsmanship and prefers not to mock others, even after defeating them. After Natsu and Gajeel were seemingly defeated by his Dragon Force, he looked down at them and commended them for putting up a good fight, even though they appeared to be lying down on the ground in defeat.[19] Sting is also quite arrogant as well, often boasting about his superiority as a Dragon Slayer.[20] After Yukino was excommunicated from Sabertooth for her failure, Sting was not the least bit troubled, rather, he stated that as the strongest guild, they had no need for weaklings. In regards to the matter, Sting only expressed joy at the fact that Sabertooth's five strongest Mages would be reassembled for the Grand Magic Games, as the fifth member was on her way.[21] He also has a sadistic side, going as far as to laugh at Minerva's torture of Lucy.[22] However, he cares a great deal for his fellow guildmates and his Exceed companion, Lector. He demonstrates extreme loyalty towards his friends and is not quick to break any promises that he makes, especially to Lector. Sting is willing to go as far as using Dragon Force in order to win battles for Lector's sake.[23] He and many of his fellow guildmates were horrified when Jiemma had apparently killed Lector, showing that Sting possesses some degree of morals. He also has a vengeful side, shown when he attacked Jiemma in a grief induced rage for "killing" Lector.[24] Upon reuniting with Lector, Sting cried tears of joy.[25] After Lector's capture by Minerva, Sting's personality changed considerably; being much more serious and solemn. This is exemplified by his attack on Bacchus: Rather than attacking Bacchus with his usual gusto, Sting attacked him quickly and quietly, completely devoid of emotion.[7] However, as the current Guild Master of Sabertooth, he seems much more cheerful. He has developed a much happier demeanor and is now more easy-going with others. Sting is excited to improve the guild and work together with his teammates to get the job done, demonstrating his cooperative and social side.[26] He also has no qualms with the members continuing to refer to him as Sting, as shown when Lector accidentally called his name instead of using his title.[27] A form of Dragon Slayer Magic which allows Sting to transform the physiology of his body into that of the White Dragon, allowing him to generate and manipulate light to his every whim.[118] The White Dragon Slayer's element has been described as being holy, with Sting remarking that his opponents suffer the "judgement of the holy white".[119] While Dragon Slayers have the ability to consume their Magic's element to replenish their strength; for unknown reasons, Sting was able to eat a metal arrow, despite his Magic's element being light.[6] As a Third Generation Dragon Slayer, Sting derives his Magic from two sources: the teachings of the Dragon named Weisslogia and from the Dragon Lacrima implanted in his body.[120] Being a product of the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers, Sting is capable of entering the most advanced state a Dragon Slayer can achieve at his will, without the need to consume strong, external sources of Magic. Such a feat greatly surprised several individuals who have intimate knowledge of Dragon Slayer Magic. Upon entering this state, Sting's body becomes much more akin to an actual White Dragon's, with his whole body becoming cloaked in an aura of light even more brilliant than that generated by White Drive, and with pure white scales appearing to cover the outer edges of his face and extending down from the side of his neck to the rest of his body. These are shown to be more and more uniform as they get farther from the central portion of his body, which instead bear several scattered, distinct scales, elongated and placed diagonally.[131] An ability which allows two Mages to unite their Magic into a single, combined, stronger attack. Sting has shown himself to be able to combine his Magic with Rogue's to create powerful spells.[132]

Shadetsu: (wearing a shadowy-white on his back) Admit it, lighty. There's nothing to be afraid about.

Shadetsu is a grayish-black wolf Exceed/Kamui and Kamui of Rogue. He wears a dark cape with hoodie that he usually covers himself if scared or surprised and dark blue eyes that he could use to see in the dark. As the Shadow Kamui, he can manipulate the shadows and even go into the shadows and control his opponent. Shadetsu can steal his opponents' energy and heals himself. His element is darkness.

Hiketsu: (wearing a black Sabertooth symbol on her back) Cut it out, Shadetsu! Sting really doesn't want to talk about the past!

Hiketsu is a Swan Exceed/Kamui hybrid and Kamui of Sting. She wears a white feather as her hair clip, light green eyes, and an angelic-style dress. As the Light Kamui, she can manipulate the light. Hiketsu is the healer of Shadetsu, who steals his opponents' energy as his, and she can heal her allies. Her element is light.

Shadetsu: Come on, Hiketsu. I'm just teasing him, that's all.

Hiketsu: Well stop this immediately or...

Rogue: Let's all calm down. No more fighting between you two.

Together: Yes, Rogue.

Within Zentopia Church...

Archbishop: Those associated in the Church must repent for their sins and begin their lives renewed.

Wakaba: Aw, man. We were the only ones out of their entire Guild invited to the ceremony.

Macao: Can they pick Makarov instead?

It turns out that the others in Fairy Tail are currently in their guild's building, where the members of Legion Corps officially apologize for their past actions; with the apologies spoken, Fairy Tail and Legion Corps celebrate.

Meanwhile, in Era...

Tsubaki: Lahar, Celestial Spirit Mages descended from Will Neville's pupils have awakened from the spell caused by the Anti-Link, albeit at the cost of their powers!

Lahar: I see.

He informs Doranbolt of the news.

Doranbolt: Whew. I'm happy at the fact Fairy Tail has survived the events of the Infinity Clock.

Jin: Right...

Fairy Tail and Legion Corps continue their celebrations. Natsu, Buu, Goku, Luffy, Naruto, Kirby, Mako, Haru, and Dan participate in an eating contest together which, after Dan uses Habaraki to gain an advantage in the competition.

Luffy: No fair! If you're using your powers, I'll use mine! Gum-Gum Eat-It-All!

Juvia: Nobody goes near Gray-sama! Frillish, Whirlpool!

Frillish: Whirlpool!

Samuel: Panther Lily! I challenge you to a fight!

Panther: Okay, let's start! (attacks)

At the Guild, Gildarts and Byro share an awkward drink together.

Byro: I never knew that Mages such as those in Fairy Tail existed.

Gildarts: Of course. Fairy Tail has some of the strongest people there.

Byro: Oh, right.

Gildarts: You know, the events of the Infinity Clock have changed their relationships so much, yet in such little time.

Byro: Agree.

In the meantime, Lucy and Gardevoir has a private conversation with Mary Hughes. Mary gives Lucy more insight on her life prior and during her time as a Legionnaire.

Mary: The relationship between the Heartfilia and Lobster family is apparently not true, as Imitatia had claimed previously.

Afterwards, she begins to cry.

Mary: I'm so sorry about my initial hostility towards you and Gardevoir.

Lucy: We forgive you. Right, Gardevoir?

Gardevoir: Right.

(eyecatch begins and ends)

At sunset...

Byro: Legion Corps has a new assignment from the archbishop. Our assignment is to seal all the remaining parts of the Infinity Clock - which will also require an immense amount of time in order to complete it.

Everyone: Bye~!

Cream: Come back anytime!

Naruto: We'll see you soon!

Goku: Yeah!

Mako: Good luck!

Fairy Tail and Legion Corps bid their final farewells before the latter group leaves the town. Back in Era, Lahar, Jin, Tsubaki, and Doranbolt and Supetsu meet with Org.

Jin: Greetings, Org. How are you doing?

Org: I'm doing fine. I'm glad you came here.

Org (オーグ Ōgu) was a Mage of the Magic Council, occupying the 2nd Seat of the Council.[1] He used to despise Fairy Tail for the troubles they brought, eventually sees them in a much grander, softer light following their more notable achievements, such as destroying the Oración Seis.[2] Org ultimately met his end during Tartaros' grand entrance into the magical world, where one member single-handedly killed him, his fellows, and destroyed their entire headquarters.[3] Org is a tall, gray-haired elderly man with a considerably long beard, as well as a mustache. He has pointy ears and has a habit of keeping only one of his dark-colored eyes open at a time. Org also wears multiple layers of robes, much like the other members of the Magic Council, and on top of his head he wears a small bat-shaped ornament.[4] As of the year X791, Org's attire remains largely the same, however he has noticeably aged, with his scalp now showing prominent signs of balding. In addition, his beard has noticeably grown in length.[5] Org is originally shown to be a rather belligerent, strict man and openly showed his intolerance and borderline dislike for the newest Council members at that time, Ultear and Siegrain.[6] Later on, after the Etherion incident reshaped the entire structure of the Council, this intolerance and dislike was extended to his new coworkers. Org was initially shown to be stiff and unwavering as far as the law went and went out of his way to see Fairy Tail disbanded, however after their help in preventing Etherion from destroying countless innocent lives and destroying the Oración Seis, Org views Fairy Tail in a softer, more grand light and now, ironically, now shows them concern when faced with the scorn of the current Council.[7] Org is capable of creating a Thought Projection of himself which he uses to attend trials without the need to appear in person.[27]

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Lahar: I admire the Councilor's hard work during the meeting earlier.

Tsubaki: Have any recent lawful acts have been imposed yet?

However, Org ignores her question.

Org: Do anyone know about Fairy Tail's return?

Tsubaki: Huh?! You ignore my question!

Org: Gran Dorma has decided to tie the events of the Infinity Clock and the Reborn Oración Seis with Fairy Tail's return, rather than the Zentopia Church. The lack of action against Dark Guilds such as Tartaros and Grimoire Heart despite increasing eye watch upon Sabertooth. For 7 years, it has been an eerie silence from them.

Doranbolt: Will Fairy Tail strike up another major event in the Magical World?

Org: I don't know... yet...

Supetsu: Ah...

Romeo: Hoka, show Natsu and the others the ranks!

Hoka: Already had it.

Arcanine: You see, Sabertooth is at the very top of the current ranks! They're the strongest guild of all of Fiore! Second comes Lamia Scale, and third is Blue Pegasus!

Natsu: Where's Fairy Tail's current rank?!

Bayonetta: At the very bottom, fire boy.

Everyone: Eh?!

Lucy: We became from the strongest to the weakest?!

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Nonon: That's right! And it's all your fault!

Natsu: Me?! How?!

Chatot: If you just come with us, none of this could ever happen!

Charizard: Oh yeah?!

Nonon: Yeah!

Morrigan: That's enough. No more fighting. Break it up.

Sanji: You should listen to Morrigan!

Luffy: Don't worry! Maybe there's a way we could be back at top!

Natsu: How?!

Luffy: I don't know! Maybe gramps can tell us how!

Zolo: Speaking of gramps, where's Makarov and Donphan?

Cana: I want to know, too.

Casper: Me and Carrie saw them with Gildarts. It seems important.

It turns out that Makarov is showing Gildarts what is Fairy Tail's biggest secret: Lumen Histoire. Gildarts is appalled by what he's learning but receives an even bigger surprise afterwards...

Makarov: Would you and Metagross be the next Guild Masters?

Gildarts: Us?

Donphan: Correct. You are the perfect candidate to become the next Guild Master.

Metagross: I see...

(eyecatch begins and ends)

In the plains, one of the men continues elaborating on the nostalgia he's feeling with Fairy Tail's return. Suddenly, a Dark Guild archer attacks the two with an arrow.

Man: I found them!

The blonde-haired one of the men, Sting, grabs the arrow and begins eating it away.

Sting: White Dragon's Roar!

White Dragon's Roar (白竜の咆哮 Hakuryū no Hōkō) is a Light Dragon Slayer Magic Spell. The White Dragon Slayer's exclusive Dragon's Roar, incorporating the element of light. The user releases a tornado of light from their mouth to attack the target. The attack seems to possess highly destructive power, having caused great damage to the area it affected, destroying the ground and piercing through buildings alike.[1] This spell can also take the form of a laser; the trajectory of said laser can be altered, allowing the user to strike more than one opponent.[2]

Sting: I missed! I've gone rusty! I knew I should've train before coming here!

Man: I-I-It's the T-T-T-Twin Dragons of S-S-Sabertooth! (screaming while running)

Sting: Where are you going?! You're such a coward! Go, Espeon and use Swift!

Espeon: (wearing a white Sabertooth symbol necklace) Espeon! Swift!

Man: Yeowch!

Sting: Nice shot!

Espeon: Thanks!

(eyecatch begins and ends)

Lector: Sting! Rogue!

Lector (レクター Rekutā) is an Exceed and a Mage of the former strongest Mage Guild in Fiore: Sabertooth.[2] Being an Exceed, Lector's appearance is that of a small, mildly anthropomorphous cat standing on his rear legs, with his two front legs acting as hands of sort. His fur seems to be dark brown in color, with most of his body being red, but his face, belly, paws and the end of his long tail being pink.[3] He has large, pointed ears, and prominent tufts of dark fur jutting outwards in correspondence to his cheekbones, where his whiskers are.[4] Lector doesn't don a complete outfit, instead sporting just a blue, sleeveless button-up vest which is left open, and has three dark round buttons on its right side.[3][4] Lector is a highly arrogant cat. He has a habit of belittling others, considering everyone to be beneath Sting, and, in general, beneath the Sabertooth guild as a whole.[2] During the Grand Magic Games, he constantly states that Sabertooth members will easily win their matches, even berating Frosch for simply asking who would win.[5] When things don't go as he foresees, Lector is left in a stunned state, best seen when Yukino Agria was easily defeated by Kagura Mikazuchi[6] and when Sting simply quit the race he was in.[7] Upon seeing Sting and Rogue, the two Dragon Slayers Lector constantly praised for being true Dragon Slayers, being single-handedly defeated by Natsu with relative ease, Lector was left speechless and distraught.[8] However, it appears that Sting's loss has humbled Lector, having told Jiemma that even though Sting lost, he learned more from his fight in defeat rather than in victory, seemingly changing his arrogant ways.[9] As he is a member of the Exceed race, Lector is capable of sprouting angelic wings as a means of flight.[1]

Frosch: We've return!

Frosch (フロッシュ Furosshu) is an Exceed and a Mage of the former strongest Guild in Fiore: Sabertooth.[1] As an Exceed, Frosch is a small, long-tailed, green anthropomorphic cat that can stand on its hind legs. Frosch has large, round eyes, each complete with a pair of prominent eyelashes, and rosy cheeks.[2][3] The entirety of Frosch's body, aside from its face, is covered by a pink frog-like suit, of which the vast majority is covered by black spots. The suit sports a plain belly, webbed hands, and a hood which forms the frog's head, complete with two beady eyes resting on the hood.[2][3] Frosch is happy-go-lucky, has a habit of speaking in the third person, and agrees with other people's opinions, regardless of what they may be.[2] Also, Frosch has a habit of asking questions that others may deem to be redundant, such as when it was scolded by Lector for asking who would win between Orga and Warcry.[4] Frosch is also very fond of Yukino, apparently having a good relationship with her when she was in Sabertooth, and was seen visibly saddened by her excommunication from their guild, and, afterwards, mentioned that it felt lonely. Frosch has a fear of being excommunicated from Sabertooth, but, according to Rogue, Frosch's fears are for naught, as he is there with it.[5] Frosch loves Rogue, and was very worried when Rogue was being beaten by Jiemma.[6] Frosch is also very outgoing and is willing to put itself in danger to protect the ones it loves, as seen when it ran to where Gajeel and Rogue were fighting, intent on making the "Shadow" leave Rogue's body,[7] and when it arrived, protected Rogue, who would die if the fight continued any further, from Gajeel.[8] Frosch also has a very good relationship with Lector, and is always, if not with Rogue, in Lector's company.[2] When Lector was "killed" by Jiemma, Frosch was left in a state of total shock.[9] Later, on the final day of the Grand Magic Games, Frosch was very visibly depressed without its friend by its side.[10] Frosch is able to sprout angelic wings that enable it to fly.[63]

Sting: Hey, guys. Found anything interesting?

Lector: Actually, we have!

Frosch: It's a girl!

Everyone: A girl?!


Lector: Yeah! Come on out!

Lucy: Hello. My name is Lucy.

Lucy is the main protagonist of Elfen Lied. She is the Queen Diclonius, an evolutionary offshoot of the human race. Lucy suffers multiple personality disorder, having at least 2 personalities. This disorder began in her childhood. Her original personality (Kaede) was that of a depressed, distrustful, withdrawn and frustrated kid. She was discriminated against by others, because of her horns. Thinking that she was abandoned by her parents, she was also avoided and judged by staff of the orphanage, bullied and treated contemptuously by other children, all this because of her horns. She didn't understand why such discrimination happened, and so she also suffered from self-hatred from having horns. To some extent she understood that the other kids were miserable and needed to make others miserable too, targeting especially those already more miserable than they. When gaining intimacy with someone as Kouta and Aiko, she is shown to be sweet, kind and shy. After witnessing her dog's murder at the hands of the orphanage bullies, she began to develop a deep hatred of Humans, killing whole families just to use their house, without regret or guilt. Shortly after this, she began to hear a voice in her head, supposedly the voice of her DNA. The voice of her Diclonius instincts had the mental image of herself, with the only difference having a cold and sadistic expression. The voice told her that she couldn't coexist in a world with Humans, and then said: "Join me. Then I will make to you a place to live in.". From that point on Kaede began to listen to her instincts, killing some Humans by way of inducing heart attacks, and spreading her genes to Male Humans, who would have Diclonius children who would in turn kill and infect more. Her Diclonii instincts began to overpower her, leading her to become more sadistic and psychopathic. It's worth nothing that "Lucy" is merely a nickname assigned to Kaede and is not a separate entity from Kaede herself. While Kaede did become more murderous and had fewer inhibitions about killing people thanks to the DNA Voice Personality's direction, she did not develop a new personality at all but instead suppressed her conscience telling her she was doing the wrong thing. During her escape from the Diclonius Research Institute, a sniper shot a bullet from a .50 caliber rifle on Lucy's helmet, that was partially slowed by the helmet she wore and her vectors, causing her to fall off a cliffside into the sea. Lucy's personality fell unconscious and by the next morning Kaede woke up on the beach at Kamakura without any memories and with a childlike and infantile personality. The only sound she knew was Nyu, which was how Kouta and Yuka decided to name her. Despite the ignorance of Nyu, she had a basic sense of good and evil, much like a young child. She was a kind, sweet, innocent and naive girl, with an intense sexual curiosity that often made life awkward for her housemates. As the time passed in the Kaede House, Nyu slowly began to learn the basic morals and norms of society. When she lost her horns in the battle with Mariko, Nyu's persona predominated, and remained for just over half a year. During this time Nyu matured greatly, learning how to speak properly and in complete sentences, how to cook, clean, and show at least some restraint on her sexual curiosity. A variant on this personality emerged when Kaede House was attacked, as Nyu was finally able to use vectors like Lucy, was brutal towards her attackers, but still deeply caring of her house mates, especially Kouta. It could be said that the personality she finished the series with was a variable-percentage merger between Lucy and Nyu, as elements of both surfaced. For example, when facing Chief Kakuzawa for the last time, her nudity became an issue for her, covering what she could from his view. This is in marked contrast to the uncaring attitude the pure Lucy persona had about such matters, likely stemming from contempt for Humans as lower creatures, and also to the child-like free spirit Nyu mostly was, happily climbing in the bath with and groping to excess any friend who had her attention. Upon her death, these two personalities each seemed to have their own spirit, both of which loved Kouta and her friends.

Rogue: Lucy?

Lucy: Correct. You must be Sting and Rogue. They told me all about you.

Sting: I can tell. Are you lost?

Lucy: Yes. I have nowhere else to go.

Espeon: Don't worry! You can join Sabertooth!

Lucy: Thanks for the invite.

Sting: No problem.


Ira: (wearing a yellow Sabertooth symbol on his left hand) There you are. We have been looking everywhere for you.

Ira Gamagōri (蟇郡 苛 Gamagōri Ira) is one of the main characters in Kill la Kill. One of the student council's Elite Four. He is Satsuki Kiryūin's loyal, massive enforcer who leads the disciplinary committee at Honnōji Academy, and, being a member of the Elite Four, has a Three-Star Goku Uniform, and refers to himself under the title of Satsuki's "Impenetrable Shield". Gamagōri is a large, muscular young man who has a darker-toned complexion and short blonde hair. His eyebrows are noticeably thick and he wears a pair of small gold earrings in his enlarged earlobes, and is often dressed in his Three-Star Goku Uniform. For artistic and comedic effect, he is sometimes portrayed as a giant, towering over the rest of the cast. Gamagōri's varying size changes according to the size of his emotions. [4] While all of the Elite Four have sworn undying loyalty to Satsuki, Gamagōri is the most outwardly loyal of the Elite Four by a huge margin. Gamagōri is always serious, bearing no tolerance for foolishness or rule-breaking, and often shouts at the top of his lungs whenever opposed in any way. He typically berates his much more casual colleagues and keeps the students in line for Satsuki, and is considered to be her right-hand man. As befits the head of the Disciplinary Committee, Gamagōri seems to hold adherence to the law, his ideas of ethical behavior, the hierarchy of the academy and Satsuki above all else. Gamagōri intimidates those under his authority, and is not below killing lawbreakers and displaying their corpses as examples, which according to Mako Mankanshoku, is not an uncommon occurrence. However, being the Disciplinary Committee chair, he will never hurt an innocent student and will always aid a student in need, as demonstrated when he offered Ryūko Matoi and Mako a ride in his car after their scooter ran out of fuel. He is a blatant masochist, thoroughly enjoying the pain inflicted upon him during battles (at least while in his Shackle Regalia), all while exclaiming stereotypical masochist statements like "Punish me more," or "I've been a bad boy!". He also has no qualms about being next to naked, as shown when he was stripped of his Goku Uniform by Ryūko and forwent dressing himself ever since, save for underpants. Gamagōri is also very honor-bound and has a strong resolve, vowing to never kneel to Satsuki a few years prior to joining Honnōji when she had annexed his school and was willing to fight her in order to drive her out. Also, after his defeat at the hands of Ryūko, he took out a knife and attempted Seppuku. However, Satsuki stopped him, telling him to "wipe away his own tears". Even without a Goku Uniform, Gamagōri possess an immense, almost absurd amount of physical strength, enough to overpower multiple Goku Uniform users without activating his own. Even when losing his uniform, he still had enough strength to grapple with a large COVERS monster barehanded. Gamagōri's Three-Star Goku Uniform transforms into a diabolical-looking mummy-like bondage suit which renders him invulnerable to external physical attacks while also boosting his strength and size relative to the amount of damage absorbed. The outer suit is actually made out of extremely tough cloth armor instead of Life Fibers, so attacks that seek to absorb Life Fibers are also ineffective. Although it is usually used to store energy for the Scourge Regalia, the Shackle Regalia has some offensive capability; its cloth strips can be separated into whips to strike at opponents, or simply tighten around Gamagōri's body to choke an opponent trapped in their grip. A revamped version of Gamagōri's old uniform. It features white bandages and a pharaoh-like mask that make it resemble the mummies of ancient Egypt. The uniform features silver pauldrons with red spikes and brown straps that scatter across Gamagōri's arms and chest. During the transformation, the uniform showed signs of electrical emission, but the electricity itself looked like chains. The ultimate form of the Shackle Regalia. In its base form, the uniform resembles its previous forms, expect being all black with multiple golden highlights. In its active form, its much more revealing than its previous versions, and unlike the , it bears a stronger resemblance to the original Scourge Regalia rather than the Shackle Regalia. The uniform also resembles a mix between the Scourge Regalia and Gamagōri's Nudist Beach uniform.

Rogue: Ira.

Lector: Have you come here to check on us?!

Steelix: (wearing a yellow Sabertooth symbol necklace and wearing Steelixite) Of course! Master Jiemma had sent us here if you completed the task!

Steelix is a long, serpentine Pokémon with a silvery-gray body made up of rock-like sections, which can possess chips and scrapes from fights and tunneling. Three of those sections have massive rock spikes coming out of them. It has a massive head mainly made up of its large, wide jaw with sets of large square teeth inside. Along it bottom jaw are ridges: there are two pairs of ridges on a male Steelix, while there is only one pair on a female. Several small, square lumps cover the underside of its lower jaw. Its eye sockets are slightly deep set, and the eyes themselves are red with white sclera. Its head has two long ridges going from the eyes up to the top of its head. Its tail ends in a long sharp point, but with a blunt tip. As Mega Steelix, its body becomes longer, almost doubles its mass, and gains more features. Mega Steelix's eyes attain a blue color and its lower jaw becomes more heavily armored, gaining a round, curved shape. Additionally, a third pair of ridges appears on its bottom jaw, and two sharp, flat structures comprised of three conjoined points protrude from the front of its lower jaw. The gray, rock-like spikes and its tail point have transformed into prism-like crystalline spikes; the segments from which the spikes protrude are much larger as well. In-between the head and individual spiked segments are smaller units, now adorned by a black spot with a blue hexagon on each side. Several metallic-looking scraps constantly rotate around its neck, vaguely resembling hands; these scraps act to Mega Steelix's movements and change position when attacking. The cells within its body, crystallized by the energy produced from Mega Evolution, are stronger than any mineral and able to withstand any temperature. It moves incredibly slowly, but its strengthened body is also impervious to damage, and it lashes out at foes without flinching.[1] Steelix burrows underground and can be found in mountains or caves. It lives deep underground, and has been found as deep as six tenths of mile. It is capable of chewing through boulders with its powerful jaws, and its eyes are capable of seeing in the dark. Its body is made harder than diamond by the iron it ingests when it eats soil. It's further strengthened by the pressure and heat underground.

Pokedex: Steelix, the Iron Snake Pokémon. Steelix is the evolved form of Onix. It has been compressed underground, making its body harder than diamonds.

Shadetsu: We've completed the task! However, a certain someone had missed a certain somebody!

Sting: Shut up!

Ira: I see. We better get going.

Espeon: But at least I used Swift to defeat him!

Steelix: Hmph!
