Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest – The 10 Strongest Main Characters At The Start Of The Sequel Anime

Highlights

  • Fairy Tail
    wrapped up in 2019 with controversial moments that disappointed some fans.
  • Strong characters drive the series, each with unique, overpowered abilities that captivate audiences.
  • With a ew season approaching, this list is highlighting the most powerful characters in the story’s current state.



Fairy Tail wrapped up in 2019 in controversial fashion, having done a couple of things that did not sit well with fans. Some felt robbed by the heightened emotional moments which ended up being wasted with later reveals.

However, Fairy Tail is not by any means a bad show, and if it has anything going for it, it’s the cast of strong characters. Fairy Tail has a long list of ridiculously overpowered characters that really excite the average fan’s imagination. With a new season starting soon, it is worth a look at the strongest characters in the story as things stand. It should be noted that dead characters will not be included, and characters that show up later in the arc will also not be added.


10 Faris

The Suspicious Girl Turns Out To Be Super Strong

  • Magic – White Magic

Faris is the White Wizard, a powerful character who rivals Zeref in power. She starts the show as the newest member of Fairy Tail, but Gajeel is immediately suspicious due to her knowledge of the name “Briar”.

It is later revealed that the girl, Touka, is being controlled by Faris, who is on her own personal mission. Faris is a powerful mage who can restrict the magical powers of others, and even take over their bodies.

9 Laxus Dreyar

The Former Rebel Is Now A Lovable Scoundrel

  • Magic- Lightning Magic

Laxus Dreyar is the grandson of Makarov and is easily one of the most powerful mages in the Fairy Tail guild. He was first introduced early in the series as an antagonist who wanted to overthrow his grandfather and make Fairy Tail a place where weaklings couldn’t survive.


He has since changed his thinking, and now is a part of the guild through and through. Laxus uses lightning magic, and is accompanied by the Thunder God tribe consisting of Fried, Bickslow, and Evergreen. At the beginning of the 100-Year Quest Arc, he was returning from a job and scared two of three potential members of the guild away.

8 Elefseria

The Father Of Magic Guilds

  • Magic – Dragon Slayer Magic

One of the very first people shown in the new series was Elefseria, the one who handed out the 100-Year Quest, and the one who commissioned Natsu and his friends to help fulfill the quest requirements.



He is said to be the first guild master ever and the founder of the first-ever guild, Magia Dragon. Not someone to be trifled with, Elefseria, in a bid to defeat the dragons, learned dragon slayer magic and can even transform into a dragon himself. Fans who are only watching the anime have yet to encounter the depths of his power, but he is no slouch.

7 Mirajane Strauss

Pretty Face, Devilish Powers

  • Magic – Takeover Magic

Mirajane was one of the earliest S-Class mages to appear in Fairy Tail, and was one of the top women in the guild, along with Erza. Mirajane’s external niceties belie a terrifying power which enables her to take over the powers of demons.



Mirajane hasn’t gone adventuring with the team in the 100-Year Quest, but she is a great source of power when called upon. She also has a tragic backstory in which she more or less lost her powers and will to fight after losing Lisanna, her sister.

6 Gildarts Clive

Even With One Arm And One Leg, He Is Immense

  • Magic – Crush

For a long time, fans never got to see Gildarts, and only heard his name whispered in awe. When he arrived, he was all he was cracked up to be and more. Able to use an incredible form of magic called ‘Crush’, Gildarts was clearly Fairy Tail’s ace.

Coming into the new arc, Gildarts might be without an arm and a leg (he uses prosthetics), but he is still incredibly powerful. He was able to hold his own against August in the Alvarez Empire Arc, and though he didn’t win that fight by himself, he is still easily one of the most powerful characters in all of Fiore.


5 Gajeel Redfox

The Iron Dragon Rivals Natsu In Strength

  • Magic – Dragon Slayer Magic

Gajeel was first introduced to fans as a villain and a member of Phantom Lord with a chilling scene where he effortlessly defeated members of Shadow Gear, which consisted of Jet, Droy, and his future wife, Levy.

Gajeel’s strength as a dragon is without question, as he is able to fight toe-to-toe with Natsu, the fire dragon. He was involved in the fight against Acnologia, the Dragon King. He handed his power over to Natsu to help finish off the monster (or at least neutralize him).

4 Lucy Heartfilia

Underutilized, But Still A Terrifying Character

  • Magic – Celestial Magic

Lucy Heartfilia is technically the protagonist of Fairy Tail, as the story more or less starts with her. She is a strange character who should be way more powerful than she actually is.

Lucy uses celestial spirit magic, which makes use of keys to form contracts with characters from the spirit world. There are several silver keys and 12 gold keys — Lucy has 10 of them. She has access to some really powerful spirits, including the leader of the 12 Golden Zodiac Keys, Leo.

3 Erza Scarlet

Potential Guild Master

  • Magic – Requip Magic



If anyone were to go on YouTube and type ‘Erza vs …’ they’d get a plethora of results showing the ridiculous range of power this woman has. Erza is a titan in every sense of the word, and is one of the few characters who could become Fairy Tail’s guild master and no one would raise an eyebrow.

Erza finished the last arc of the show by defeating her mother and using one hand and sword to slice through a meteor. She’s back in the new arc, ready for a new adventure with her friends.

2 Gray Fullbuster

The Perfect Rival To Natsu

  • Magic – Ice Make Magic

Gray is an ice mage who has a penchant for taking off his clothes at the slightest provocation and in any scenario. Aside from his quirky personality, Gray is incredibly powerful, and his ice magic is incredible.



He is able to take on Natsu in his demon form and survive, with Erza being the only one who could come between the two. His love/hate relationship with Natsu is a funny aspect of the show, as the two can’t stand one another, but will also fight for each other.

1 Natsu Dragneel

He’s Beaten Everyone

images/news/2024/7/11/fairy-tail-100-years-quest-strongest-main-characters-start-of-sequel-anime_10.jpg

  • Magic – Dragon Slayer Magic

Natsu Dragneel is the true main character of Fairy Tail, and the Salamander is able to swallow up flames and unleash them on enemies. The younger brother of Zeref, Natsu was sent 400 years into the future to help defeat Acnologia.

Natsu’s strength is impressive, and from the beginning of the series until now, he has been able to take down some of the most powerful villains in the entire show, including Jellal and Acnologia.
