Zeref also explained how Igneel chose not to kill Natsu because he loved him too much to harm him. Even with all this information, Natsu refused to believe it before Zeref proved his story by showing that damaging the Book of E. An injured Natsu was forced to listen as Zeref explained everything: he and Igneel were friends, Zeref allowed Igneel to raise Natsu and Natsu was sent to the future through the Eclipse Gate along with Gajeel, Wendy, Sting and Rogue to help their dragon parents defeat Acnologia.
Zeref states this was also a way for him to make Natsu stronger, so that one day he would be able to destroy Zeref. Zeref ended his tale by stating he lived out those four hundred years awaiting Natsu's arrival reflecting on how hard it was but Natsu soon lost his patience and charged at his brother, refusing to believe anything else Zeref is telling him.
Making no attempt to defend himself, Zeref revealed one more thing if he dies then so will Natsu as he is his creation. The dragon slayer ignored this, accepting a suicidal destiny and tried to kill Zeref but a tearful Happy stopped him and flew away with the protesting Natsu who has lost his chance to kill his immortal brother. As he watches the two of them leave, Zeref tearfully states that Natsu is no longer capable of stopping him now that the last bit of Igneel's power has disappeared and bids his brother farewell.
With Natsu now gone, Zeref's wounds heal and he prepares to go through with his plans to obtain Fairy Heart now that no one is capable of defeating him so he will not hesitate any longer. Meanwhile, Natsu and Happy land in a forest to rest at a pond where Happy tends to his burnt paws as Natsu struggled to process everything he learned from Zeref while making a promise with Happy to find a way to defeat Zeref without endangering his own life.
Natsu soon collapses due to having a tumor develop in his body and Happy is forced to carry him back to the guild. Natsu is soon healed by a Shield of Spriggan named Brandish who shrinks his tumor down to a size where it won't affect him. Natsu is then placed in a bed to rest but recovers and manages to defeat another Shield of Spriggan named Jacob who attacked the guild hall.
After organizing his army, Zeref internally announced his intentions to crush his younger brother and former lover. After coming face to face with, August accuses Brandish of being a traitor however, she manages to sway his mind and after he looks at the gathered mages behind her, he spots Natsu who he seems to recognize due to the latter's relationship to Zeref.
However, August is stabbed by Brandish who was brainwashed by Mest causing August to take on a new form and retaliate with a powerful magic blast. As this happens, Zeref notes of strange magic presence before being teleported to Fairy Tail by one of his shield of Spriggan, Irene Belserion placing him in the same area as Fairy Heart Mavis.
As this was happening, Natsu and his friends wake up in a new location and begin traveling back to Fairy Tail to help Mavis. Elsewhere Dimaria, a Shield of Spriggan who while tied up attempts to escape two Lamia Scale mages before their souls leave their bodies.
Dimaria turns and sees a man that says he's come to save her she is shocked when she realizes she was saved by a fellow Shield of Spriggan named Larcade Dragneel whose exact relation to the two Dragneel brothers is unknown. Lacrade took Dimaria to regroup with the other Spriggan 12 who have taken control of the Fairy Tail guild, Larcade remarked on Dimaria and Brandish's friendship as August angrily glared at him and Invel stated this was because of his lack of attendance at the meetings.
Mavis took note of Larcade's magic power sweating and trembling as Zeref revealed some information about Larcade that he is his secret weapon against Acnologia because of the vast capabilities of his unknown magic. When Invel a Shield of Spriggan freezes Natsu and his friends except Gray , Natsu manages to free everyone causing Invel to smirk as he confirms Natsu's connection to Zeref. Natsu is soon taken away by Brandish while Invel forces Gray and Juvia to fight to the death.
As this happens, Invel recalls a memory of Zeref showing him the pendant he wears holds a picture of Natsu and Zeref as children. Invel internally states his intention of molding Gray into a warrior capable of defeating E. D due to believing it is the only thing standing in Zeref's way of his ultimate goal.
After Gray and Juvia seriously wound themselves, Invel goes off to destroy E. D himself. However, an enraged Gray having been saved by Juvia arrives and brutally attacks before defeating Invel for his vile actions. Wounded and laying on the ground, Invel reveals to a shocked Gray that Natsu is E.
D as well going on to reveal the demon's status as Zeref's brother and giving him information about the demons. As this happens, Brandish re-enlarges Natsu's tumor after seeing his true strength and seeing him as a threat but she is soon taken down by another shield of spriggan Dimaria who is angered at Brandish's betrayal. Dimaria took Lucy and Natsu hostage planning to torture them for their turning Brandish to their side.
While being held hostage by Dimaria, Natsu remained unconscious but when Dimaria moves to mutilate Lucy's face, Natsu awoke and unleashed his powers of E. This allowed him to break free of his constraints, completely able to move within Dimaria's time stopping magic and brutally attack a shocked Dimaria to save Lucy. After defeating Dimaria, Natsu held Lucy and noticed she was unresponsive not knowing this was due to Dimaria's magic as he broke down his demonic powers and instincts took over and he went out to find his brother.
Natsu's search for Zeref caused him to seriously burn alive any enemy soldier who stood in his way as he focused solely on locating his brother and soon deduced he was at the guild hall. As Natsu made his move, he was met by Gray who is now aware of his friend's demon status , Natsu told Gray to move aside as he wanted to defeat Zeref but Gray refused and questioned if he really was E. D but Natsu just orders him to move and speaks about killing Zeref.
Recalling the information Invel gave him, Gray takes this a confirmation of Natsu being a demon and Zeref's brother. Out of hatred for Zeref's demons, Gray declares he will kill Natsu resulting in a battle where Natsu stated he can't be stopped as he recall what triggered his demon powers to awake.
Natsu and Gray, both using their demonic powers start fighting seriously injuring the other while ignoring their surroundings such as the light of Fairy Law. Just as they are about to deliver a fierce blow to the other, their fight is stopped by Erza who reprimands them for their foolish actions. Erza cries while telling them that their master died using fairy law before hugging them.
Seeing Erza's tears, Natsu is reminded of his reason for Jellal which was for making Erza cry. With that, he regains his reason as his partially transformed body turns back to normal causing him to slowly lose consciousness but he is caught by Lucy. Relieved that she is alive, Natsu rests in her arms. When Irene Belserion attacks, Natsu is shielded from harm by Lucy. Later on, Larcade looks down on the battlefield displeased that half of the army was taken out.
The shield of spriggan decides to take matters into his own hands otherwise he wouldn't be able to face his father, revealing that he is the son of Zeref Dragneel and the nephew of Natsu Dragneel. Larcade then uses his unknown magic which is called "Pleasure" and explains to Yukino and her allies it is a magic which takes the souls of those who are not pure of heart.
Larcade's usage of his magic unknowingly affects Irene allowing Natsu to be taken away from the battle to be taken to Porlyuscia.
Larcade's enemies express a pleasured look of pain but before he can get rid of any enemies he is halted when Zeref also under the affect of Larcade's magic telepathically contacts. Zeref warns Larcade that his magic is not just having an affect on their enemies but on their allies as well. Realizing his error, Larcade quickly stops his spell before he is confronted by Yukino who attempts to attack him because of his magic causing her sister to faint but Larcade subdues her and uses his magic on her before she is saved by Kagura.
Kagura questions as to why a person using such pure magic would serve the evil Zeref as Larcade reveals to the Mermaid Heel Mage that Zeref is his "father". When questioned about this, Larcade gives the gathered mages his full name and his status as Zeref's "son". Yukino and Lector note on how Zeref and Larcade have the same the last name as Natsu before he reveals to them that Natsu is his "father's" younger brother thereby making him larcade's "uncle" which greatly shocks them.
Larcade states he wished to finally meet his uncle as it appears Zeref holds him in higher regard than him his own son which he deems unforgivable, showing that he harbors jealously towards Natsu. After a fierce one sided battle, Larcade defeats Kagura before planning to use his magic on her and the other mages present.
Later on, August who has defeated Crime Sorceire walks away from his defeated foes after revealing to a shocked Jellal of Zeref having a son that never knew love and remarks to himself that the only one who could possibly defeat his majesty's child it would be his mother who turns out to be Mavis Vermillion, how this is possible is unknown.
Meanwhile as he was being tended to by Porlyuscia, the elderly mage doctor informs everyone that Natsu's condition goes beyond her field of expertise. As Natsu laid unconscious, his body started to smoke and become ice cold as his friends cry out his name. Natsu's mind drifted into his subconscious while there Natsu met with Zeref. Natsu immediately attacked what he thought to be Zeref but was told that he is not the real Zeref instead a projection who informs Natsu his death will come very soon and it is for that reason he has come to guide Natsu through some of his lost memories.
Zeref requests Natsu calls him "big brother" while they are together for the time being but Natsu refuses and demands answers. Zeref then shows Natsu their time together as children before showing him their parents and reveals that the family lived in a small peaceful village which later got destroyed by a dragon.
A surprised Natsu soon sees the death of his parents and that of himself as well as his subsequent revival as E. D before Zeref recalls already telling Natsu about this as he later entrusted him in the care of Igneel. Zeref further explains that Natsu had later met the other dragon slayers and states that their lack of recollection on these matters is most likely due to the Dragon Soul Seal and their awakening in X This likely explains why Natsu didn't recognize Zeref on Tenrou Island or his recalling Wendy's name in their meeting.
Plus, the "lord" part is perfect because END is the strongest demon and he can easily be a lord to the other demons. Zeref keeps talking about choices, and that Natsu specifically will have to make that choice. We should also assume that Igneel was forced to choose between killing END or letting him live. But END's still alive. So that means that Igneel chose the second. But the question is why?
Why would he let the most dangerous demon live? It has to be someone he cares about! And Mashima said that "Fairy Tail will change in ways we didn't expect". I'm almost sure that Natsu will get serious character development. But I have the feeling that something very tragic is going to happen to him.
The Watty Awards. Try Premium. Log in Sign Up. There was nothing else that could have bonded them together, not even the great feats that Natsu had managed to pull off up until that point. Even more than Zeref's desire to see Natsu, his proclamation that Natsu had grown was another dead giveaway.
Despite how long Zeref had been alive, there was no way he could have been following Natsu's progress for years. At the time, it seemed like Zeref was talking about Natsu's growth as a mage. Looking back, he was clearly talking about how much he'd grown both as a person and in the physical sense. Despite the attack that was absorbed by Natsu's scarf, Zeref never intentionally tried to fight Natsu or any member of the Fairy Tail guild.
His presence was mostly spent moping about how the world was rejecting him. In reality, it seemed like he was on Tenrou Island for both Mavis and to see how far Natsu had come. That's shown by his disappointment that Natsu was not yet prepared to kill him.
If Zeref really wanted to, he could have killed almost everyone on that island. The brief monologue Zeref had with Hades seemed to be a way to show that Zeref hated those who destroyed indiscriminately, that he wasn't the bad guy the series made him seem to be at first.
While that's true, it wasn't the full story of why he confronted the former Fairy Tail Guild Master. Zeref blamed him for Acnologia's arrival and the inevitable destruction of the island, and given that his brother would be among the casualties, it's not much different than Itachi going to Konoha to put the fear of god into Danzo. The end of the Tenrou Island arc was shocking and could have had far more emotional weight than it ended up having.
Sensing that his death at the hands of Natsu was near, Zeref felt it important to fill Natsu in on who he is. First, Zeref reveals his name is Zeref Dragneel and that he's Natsu's older brother. He then tells Natsu that his parents were killed by dragons years ago, and his little brother Natsu died as well.
It then starts to click in Natsu's mind as Zeref tells him he was researching ways to bring the dead to life, and eventually stumbles on the Etherious program. This sends Natsu into a spiral as he refuses to believe these things, and tries to counter with the fact that Igneel was unable to defeat E.
Zeref confirms that this is indeed true, but it was because Igneel could not make himself kill a child.
