The third season will start off in a time when Lucy, Natsu, and Happy are trying to reform the Fairy Tail guild after it was disbanded. In the Tartaros story arc, Earth-land was saved from destruction at the cost of Igneel the dragon’s death and Natsu vowed to avenge Igneel by killing Acnologia.
The contest was not that interesting until Natsu showed up as a surprise entry and easily defeated every competitor in the stadium. It turns out Natsu and Happy have been training hard for a year (although it could be argued Happy was hardly training since now he’s just really, really good at resisting eating fish).
Lucy finds herself eating at a restaurant where the Fire Dragon Slayer regales her with tales from his recent adventures. When Natsu and Happy discover that the guild was disbanded, they make their intentions clear to the Royal Family with a message written in flames. After quickly fleeing from the royal army, the comrades set out on a quest to find the missing guild members.
Fairy Tail Episode 278 will open with the travelers finding a town where Wendy Marvell and Carla are living. Carla shocks the poor male cat using transformation magic to change into human form. While the reunion is nostalgic, events don’t go as expected when it comes to reforming the guild. Wendy has joined another guild called Lamia Scale and they’re in a fight with the Orochi Fin guild.
Natsu, Lucy, and Happy resume their adventure only to find Juvia in a highly depressed state (even more so than usual). Gray had left their village for an unknown reason and she’s been waiting for six months while rain dumps down on her. During their investigation into Gray’s disappearance, it’s discovered that a cult called Avatar desires to destroy every mage who doesn’t pledge loyalty to Zeref.
The remainder of the Avatar story arc focuses on fighting the Avatar cult and figuring out what happened to Gray. Zeref’s origin story will be told and Natsu shows off his new powers that he earned from training. As might be expected, the story ends with most of the major Fairy Tale guild members gathering in Magnolia at the ruined site of the old guild building.
For context, the story of the Fairy Tail movie Dragon Cry takes place between volume 51 and 52 of the manga, which means the movie’s events bridge the gap between the Avatar story arc and the rest of Fairy Tail Season 3. The final Alvarez Empire story arc is the real meat of the story since it’s 108 chapters whereas the Avatar story arc numbers only 20.
With the Fairy Tail guild revived with Erza Scarlet as Guild Master, everyone learns the disturbing reason why the guild was disbanded a year ago. The guild harbors a secret called Lumen Histoire and Natsu and his friends must infiltrate the Alvarez Empire to rescue their master. The epic journey will culminate in an invasion that’s spearheaded by Alvarez Emperor Zeref Dragneel and his personal guard the Spriggan 12.
Thankfully, anime fans don’t have to wait too long for the Fairy Tail Season 3 release date. Let’s just hope the anime is renewed for the fourth season, as well. Stay tuned!
