Erza Scarlet is an S-Class mage of Fairy Tail who is famous for her usage of requip magic. She is also a member of Team Natsu, as well as one of the main female protagonists of the series.[2]
Appearance
Edit
Erza is a young woman who has long scarlet hair and brown eyes. She has an artificial right eye made by Porlyusica(replacing the one she lost as a child). She has a slender figure that Lucydescribes as amazing and, like most females in the series, has large breasts. She wears custom-made armor by Heart Kreuz smiths, a blue skirt, and black boots. Her Fairy Tail stamp is blue and located on the middle of her left upper arm. Erza specializes in requip magic, and uses it to requip not only armor, but different outfits as well.
PersonalityEdit
Erza is a very strict person, often criticizing the bad behavior and habits of the other guild members, causing most of them to apologize, fearing that they might invoke her wrath. She is also very impatient disliking people who don't answer her questions quickly enough. This, coupled with her own tragic childhood, caused many of her guildmates to avoid her due to her social awkwardness. However, she has a great sense of justice and pride in being a member of Fairy Tail.
Natsu describes her as "strong, mean and scary"; Lucy says that she's "cool and beautiful, warm and full of passion". Jellal, when he had lost his memories, remembering nothing but the name "Erza", said her name was "full of kindness, brightness and warmth".Makarov called Erza the "Female Knight who doesn't know how to hold back".
Erza described herself as someone who was always crying, since she wasn't able to protect those dear to her. Several examples are when Rob tried to shield her from destruction, and when Jellal was captured because he saved her and was brainwashed by "Zeref". Also, Erza has stated that she feels uncomfortable and insecure when not wearing armor.[3] However, when Erza encounters Ikaruga, she overcomes her fear behind and battles her without her armor.
HistoryEdit
Early in her childhood, Erza was enslaved by a black magic cult and forced to build the Tower of Heaven, a structure developed for the purpose of resurrecting the dark mage Zeref.[4] She was imprisoned together with several other slaves, most of them children; among these children were Jellal Fernandes, Shô, Simon, Wally Buchanan, and Millianna. While they were asking each other for their names, she said her name was just "Erza," so Jellal decided to give her the surname "Scarlet" after her scarlet hair so they would never forget it.[5] Despite the harsh conditions of her enslavement and labor, Erza became close friends with the other children. She also formed a strong bond with Rob, an elderly mage from the Fairy Tail guild, who taught her about magic and his guild.[6][7]
One day in X776, Shô came up with a plan for the ten-year-old Erza and all their friends to escape from the tower. They were unfortunately caught by the guards, who decided to send the escape's mastermind to the tower's disciplinary chamber while the rest would be deprived of food for three days (which, according to the guards, was a far more lenient punishment). Seeing how fearful Shô was, Erza prepared to take the blame herself, but Jellal announced himself as the mastermind instead. However, the guards reasoned that Erza was the one responsible and sent her to the disciplinary chamber,[8]where she was tortured to the brink of death and lost her right eye. Jellal rescued her, but was captured soon after. Finally fed up with their torment, Erza staged a revolt against their captors so they could escape and save Jellal.[9]
The revolt appeared to be successful at its inception[10] until the tower's mages arrived to repress the slaves, causing most of the other slaves to retreat. During the attack, Erza watched in horror as her friend Simon's lower jaw was blasted off by a magical attack, while Rob sacrificed himself to defend Erza from another mage's attack. In her rage, Erza's latent magical power was activated for the first time, and she used it to turn all of the weapons and tools around her against the guards, finishing the revolt.[11][12]
As the other slaves boarded ships meant to ensure their freedom, she reunited with Jellal, but discovered that he had changed; the kind and compassionate boy she knew him to be was suddenly twisted and violent, using magic to slaughter the defenseless guards around them. Jellal had been possessed by what he claimed to be the spirit of Zeref, and decided that the only way for them to attain true freedom was to complete the Tower of Heaven and revive Zeref. Erza refused to help him, prompting Jellal to cast her out of the tower by herself, only letting her live because she helped take care of all the guards who would have opposed him. Before letting her escape, Jellal told Erza to keep the Tower of Heaven a secret from the government, as well as to never return to the tower, threatening to destroy the tower and kill everyone in it, including their friends, if she disobeyed.[13]
After washing up on the shores of Fiore, Erza made her way to and joined the Fairy Tail guild.[7] She habitually began to wear armor and acted distant from the other members, still traumatized by Jellal's betrayal.[14] AfterGray, who tried picking fights with the reclusive Erza, saw her crying by herself and questioned why, she began to open up to her guildmates more.[15] Around this time, Fairy Tail's master Makarov brought Erza to seePorlyusica, who gave her an artificial eye to replace the one she lost. With her eye healed Erza shed tears of joy, which only came out of her real, left eye, though Erza didn't mind as she said she had already shed half of her tears.[16]
As the years passed, Erza became more and more strict until she could be called the guild's disciplinarian. She took responsibility for breaking up fights between Gray and Natsu. At the same time, however, she was driven to constantly fight and bicker with fellow member Mirajane, which eventually ended after Mirajane greatly mellowed out in the wake of her younger sister Lisanna's apparent death in X782. In the year X780, Erza passed Fairy Tail's annually held S-Class Wizard Promotion Trial, becoming the youngest member of the guild to do so at fifteen years of age.[17]
SynopsisEdit
Lullaby arcEdit
While returning home from a mission to slay a colossal horned monster (bringing its horn, decorated and given to her by the locals, as a souvenir), Erza stops at a pub where she overhears a group of mages discussing a sealed magic called "Lullaby," with one of the members, Kageyama, claiming he will be able to break the seal. She doesn't give them much thought until she hears Kageyama mention Erigor, the "Death God" and ace of the dark guild Eisenwald. Too late to act against them in time, she decides to enlist Natsu and Gray to help her fight Eisenwald and discover what the Lullaby is, as well as what they intend to do with the spell.[18]
She returns to the guild with the intention of discussing the matter with Makarov, only to learn that he is away at a meeting with the other guild masters in the country. After ritualistically berating her guildmates for their poor conduct, she tells Natsu and Gray to accompany her on her mission, shocking the entire guild with the idea that she has just formed the strongest team in the history of Fairy Tail.[19] They are joined by Lucy, the guild's newest recruit, who is requested by Mirajane to keep Natsu and Gray from bickering behind Erza's back. Before setting out the next day, Natsu challenges Erza to fight him after they return, which she accepts.[20]
Erza discusses her mission with Lucy and Gray of her mission on the train ride to Onibas; Natsu, however, is left in the dark since Erza knocks him unconscious to ease his motion sickness.[21] They are so caught up with their discussion that they accidentally leave Natsu on the train, prompting Erza to temporarily stop the train via its emergency stop signal and chase after him on a borrowed Magic Four-Wheeled Car. Upon retrieving Natsu, he says that he briefly fought with Kageyama, who had escaped, prompting Erza to berate him for not stopping him and paying attention to their discussion (ignoring that she had knocked him out during the discussion in the first place). Natsu further explains that the mage was holding a skull-shaped flute, which Lucy recognizes as the Lullaby, a mass-murder curse that kills anyone who listens to its music.[22]
Desperate to stop Erigor from playing the Lullaby, Erza and the others rush for the nearby town of Oshibana, where they find Eisenwald waiting for them inside the local train station. Before escaping with the Lullaby, Erigor claims to use the Lullaby to kill everyone in the city.[23] Erza sends Natsu and Gray to chase after him while she fights against the members of Eisenwald, easily taking them all out at once. Having used up much of her magic power in the fight and on the Magic Four-Wheeled Car,[24] she goes outside to evacuate the citizens gathered around the station. However, Erigor reappears and casts a Wind Wall around the station, trapping Erza inside.[25]
She interrogates the defeated Eisenwald members in the station and realizes that Eisenwald's true target is Clover, where Makarov and the other guild masters have gathered. Remembering Kageyama's power to dispel magic, she and Gray find Kageyama after he is defeated by Natsu and demand that he lift the Wind Wall magic, but he is stabbed in the back by fellow Eisenwald member Karacka to keep him quiet.[26] Fortunately, Lucy acquires the Gatekey for the celestial spirit Virgo from Happy, allowing the team to burrow beneath the Wind Wall and escape; before doing so, Natsu brings Kageyama, not wanting him to die.[27]
Natsu sets out to fight Erigor while Erza and the others chase after him on another Magic Four-Wheeler with Kageyama in tow.[28] By the time they catch up, they find that Natsu has successfully defeated Erigor. However, Kageyama steals the Lullaby and hijacks the vehicle, setting off for Clover to kill the guild masters himself. Erza and the others chase after him, but by the time they find him at the masters' meeting hall, they witness Makarov persuading Kageyama to stop his plan. Suddenly, the Lullaby comes to life and unveils a demon that was sealed inside the flute.[29]Together with Natsu and Gray, Erza battles and destroys the demon, reverting the Lullaby into an ordinary flute, but destroying the entire meeting hall in the process.[30]
Shortly after returning to the guild, Erza keeps her promise to fight Natsu, holding their battle in front of the Fairy Tail guildhall. Before the match can be concluded, however, a messenger appears and arrests Erza on behalf of the Magic Council for the damages caused during their battle against Eisenwald.[31] As she is escorted to her trial, she encounters a thought projection of Jellal, now a member of the Council under the name "Siegrain," who reveals that the council is using her as a scapegoat to display their authority. "Siegrain" once again reminds Erza to keep the Tower of Heaven a secret from the council before leaving to oversee the trial. During the trial, Natsu barges into the courtroom while dressed as Erza and tries to pass himself off as her in an attempt to save her, not realizing that the trial is a formality and she wouldn't be punished. As a result, the two are imprisoned together for the night. Although angry that Natsu's rampage had ruined her chance to return home for the day, she warmly admits that his gesture did make her happy.[32]
Galuna Island arcEdit
After Natsu, Lucy and Gray go to Galuna Island, Erza goes after them to stop them and return them to Fairy Tail. She is sent after them because they went on an S-Class mission, which was too much for the three (plus Happy) to handle. Erza arrives and saves Lucy from Sherry Blendi, and detains Lucy and Happy for their crimes against the guild. She shows her stern side as she states to Gray that she doesn't care what happens on the island. However, much to her and Lucy's surprise, Gray berates her honor and sense of justice, which she doesn't take too kindly to. She puts a sword to his throat, telling him that he wouldn't be able to break the rules without getting punished. Surprisingly, Gray slices his hand on her sword, telling her this is the path he chooses and she that can kill him if she wants.
Shocked that someone actually stood up to her, Erza has a slight change of heart and decides to punish them after they finish the mission. She tries to stop the revival ritual of Deliora, but doesn't make it in time; however, Deliora is found to have already died.
She is the one who figures out the secret of the villagers, and uses the Giant's Armor to throw the Evil Crushing Spear to the moon with the help of a very motivated Natsu. With this, they destroy a layer created by the Moon Drip, revealing that all the villagers were originally monsters who are able to turn to humans and not the other way around. She then leads the team off the island, reminding them that despite finishing the mission (and refusing payment except for aCelestial Spirit key), they are all going to get punished.
Phantom Lord arcEdit
Erza and the others return from Galuna Island, only to find that the guild had been attacked by Phantom Lord. After the assault of Fairy Tail on Phantom Lord, and the sucker punch defeat of Makarov by Aria, Erza takes the role of leader of the guild alongside Mirajane and Cana Alberona, while feeling responsible for what had happened to the master. When the walking guild of Phantom Lord attacks Fairy Tail with its Magical Convergent Cannon - Jupiter, she stops the first shot with her Adamantine Armor, but loses consciousness and doesn't take part in the first couple of battles against the Element 4.
Later, she easily defeats Aria, the last of the group, when Natsu was being beaten by him. As she collapses, she implores Natsu to protect Lucy and the guild as his power is far greater than her own, and he can beat bothJose Porla and Gajeel Redfox. After she rests a minute, she fights with Jose, the master of Phantom Lord, alongside Gray and Elfman, but they are soundly defeated.
After Natsu beats Gajeel, she reminds Jose that he lost the war because he didn't calculate Natsu's destructiveness into his plans. A flashback is then seen as Natsu remembers his past about Fairy Tail and how he was taught vocabulary by Erza. Erza then berates Jose's reasons for attacking Fairy Tail, and reveals the truth about Lucy to him. She is then easily defeated by him, not before earning some praise, and is saved by a recovered Makarov who finally finishes Jose with Fairy Law. As she helps to rebuild the guild, it appears that after Gray's rebating of her, she lightens up and declares to the guild that Team Natsu is official, earning the most powerful team a round of applause.
Loke arcEdit
Erza is sent to help a theater in trouble; it is here she reveals her love for the theater and the dramatic arts. She signs the others up in a play to help the owner recover from his tragedy, wherein most of his actors and actresses had quit. Erza spends a long time and effort practicing for her role as the prince. During the play, it is revealed she also gets stage fright and forgets most of her lines when it comes to performing her part, to which, in some moments, she improvizes to fill up sentences in her dialogue. It is also seen that she gets too deep into her character, as she cuts Lucy's clothes up on stage. It is also seen that Erza was helping her fellow guild members in finding Loke when he was found to be missing from the guild.
Tower of Heaven arcEdit
Erza is one of the members invited by Loke to go with her to an expensive resort. At the beach, Erza has a quick flashback of her slave life at the Tower of Heaven. When she wakes up from the daydream, she requips her basic armour, but after Lucy tells her to come with them to the casino, she requips a dress.
While at the casino, Lucy and Erza are playing cards when one of Erza's childhood friends, Shô, steps in to rotate the dealer position. Instead of tossing regular cards, however, he throws down cards that spells DEATH in front of Erza, to which she becomes shocked seeing him again after so long. He remarks that it's been a while and Erza asks him if he is safe. Suddenly, the casino lights turn off due to Simon's Magic, then come back on with Shô behind Erza, telling her that he can use Magic as well by trapping the people in the casino inside his cards.
Another friend of Erza, Millianna, appears from behind Lucy and ties her up using her Magic ropes. Erza angrily states that Lucy is her friend and demands Millianna to let Lucy go. Feeling insulted, Shô tells Erza that they were her friends too once, until she betrayed them. Wally Buchanansteps in, reminding Shô to calm down and tells Erza that she grew beautifully after a long time, despite her barely remembering his face. Simon then appears as Lucy questions Erza as to who the people are and why they are calling her sister, but she tells Lucy they are just old friends. The group tells Erza that they are here to take her back home with Wally pointing his gun at Lucy, in case she refuses. Erza, pleading for Wally to stop, ends up with a shot in the back with Wally's Reanimation Magic, with Wally using a tranquilizer shot. Before their departure, Wally gives Millianna a sleeping Happy as a gift, and tells her to tie Erza up. Shô, excited, reveals that Erza will be returning to the Tower of Heaven, where Jellal is waiting.
Erza later wakes up in a ship on the way to the tower, attempting to free herself from Millianna's ropes. Shô then appears, commenting that it is pointless to try. Erza asks if she can put her armor on because she does not feel secure without it. Shô then cries and yells at her for betraying Jellal. Erza then has another short flashback, revealing her imprisonment with Jellal and the rest of her old friends.
Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Juvia Lockser sail to the Tower of Heaven in hopes of finding Erza and Happy. As Erza arrives at the Tower, she is thrown in a prison. Shô tells her she will stay there until the "ceremony" starts tomorrow. He then tells her that she will be the sacrifice for "Paradise". Erza tells Shô not to use the R-System to resurrect the dark Mage, Zeref, because of the consequences it will bring to the Magic World. Shô then says that Jellal is reviving him to bring them to "Paradise", and that they will rule with him. Erza then brings Shô to his knees by kicking him in the face, and requips her basic armor to search for Jellal.
Erza fights her way through some guards, asking where Jellal is, and eventually comes across Natsu and gang. Although she is surprised to see them, she tells them to go back and that this is her problem to deal with. Natsu refuses, one reason being because Millianna has Happy. Erza apologizes, saying that she would lose this fight no matter what. Erza tells them about the Tower of Heaven, otherwise known as the R-System. After she finishes telling about her past, she says that she is ready to fight.
Back in the present, Erza tells Gray, Lucy, and Juvia, that she is destined to fight Jellal. Meanwhile, Jellal's thought projection, Siegrain, is gathering votes at the Magic Council to destroy the Tower of Heaven with the Etherion. Back at the Tower, Erza tells the others that Zeref was the strongest Dark Mage ever. He created horrible and destructive monsters. Lucy points out that the Lullaby was one of Zeref's monsters. Erza also thinks that Deliora was one, too. Lucy then asks why Erza is considered a traitor to her old friends. Erza doesn't know why, but suspects Jellal made something up. Shô then appears, hearing what actually happened eight years ago and cannot believe that Jellal was tricking them all this time. Shô says that eight years ago, Jellal told him that Erza had planted bombs in their ships and that if Jellal hadn't noticed, everyone would have died. Jellal then made everyone get back to work on the tower, claiming that it was a sign that the tower must continue to be built. Erza tells Shô she never did that. Simon then appears, revealing he knew all along that Jellal was lying. They all decide to work together to stop Jellal.
Everybody follows Simon in an attempt to look for Natsu and stop Erza's other friends from attacking. The company learns that they can't escape, because they need to defeat Jellal and the assassination Death's Head Caucus Guild's Trinity Raven before Jellal activates the tower that will cause the Council to release the Etherion, which would destroy the tower and them along with it. After hearing what will happen, Shô traps Erza in one of his cards and runs off with her. They have a limited amount of time to defeat Trinity Raven before the Etherion is released and everyone manages to defeat two members of the Trinity Raven. Erza and Shô run into the third member, Ikaruga. Shô throws cards at her, but she cuts them all up. Ikaruga claims that she can slice anything, even separate dimensions like Shô's cards. Somehow, without her sword touching Shô, he gets slashed across the chest twice. Erza falls out of Shô's hand and demands to be let out.
Ikaruga swings her sword again. She protects the blow and tells Shô that she isn't safe in his card. After a few more slices, Erza breaks out because when the slashes went into the card, there was a slight opening that she used to get out of the card. All of a sudden, Erza's armor is cut into pieces, showing that she didn't dodge all of Ikaruga's attacks successfully. She then requips her Heaven's Wheel Armor. The two girls attack each other head on. Erza uses Circle Sword. Her circle of swords comes toward the enemy, but she simply cuts them up and then destroys Erza's armor again. Ikaruga then uses Garuda Flame, and Erza quickly requips her Flame Empress Armor to defend herself. She slams into a wall and charges towards Ikaruga. Her armor again shatters. She is persuaded to use her strongest armor. She requips her Purgatory Armor, and claims that nobody had seen it and lived. Ikaruga quickly slices past Erza, shattering the armor. She gets up and requips a sarashi (long, winding strip of cloth, usually thick cotton, wrapped tightly around the midriff up to the chest) with a flame patterned bottom hakama.
Erza explains there is nothing special about her armor. All her life she had locked her heart away in her suit of armor, and that had made her weak and afraid. Now that she wears none, she believes she can defeat Ikaruga. The two ladies charge towards each other, their swords clashing for the final time. Erza's arm gets slashed twice, and her enemy tells her that she has lost. However, Ikaruga realizes she got slashed too. Blood comes out of her heavy wound and she falls to the ground, most likely dead. Her last words tell Shô that there are 15 minutes until the Etherion hits the tower. Erza tells Shô to get everybody else out the tower, claiming that she will fight Jellal and end this.
Erza makes it to the part of the tower where Jellal is. Jellal claims the game is over, and Erza asks if playing with people's lives are fun. Erza claims that she will free her friends. She thinks Jellal is bluffing about the Etherion falling, but he claims that he is not and that either way, she will be a sacrifice for Zeref. Jellal announces there are 7 minutes until the Etherion strikes. He attacks Erza with Shade Magic. She dodges all of them and cuts them up. Jellal then attacks her again, making her fly out the side of the tower. She manages to get back up by jumping on the crumbling rocks. As she swings her sword, she asks why Jellal is damaging his tower so carelessly. Jellal doesn't seem to care, but Erza does, because Shô and her friends spent years making it. He uses his Shade Magic again, hitting Erza.
She manages to break out of it, slices Jellal, and holds him down on the ground. She then tells Jellal he failed at completing the R-System because the tower has no Magic to resurrect. There needs to be 2.7 billion Edeas in order for the tower to activate. Trying to make her give up, he explains how his body was possessed by Zeref and how he is nothing more than a doll doing his bidding.
He claims it was all over before it had even begun and that nobody could save him. He says he knew he could not finish the R-System, but Zeref would not stop him. He asks Erza to strike him down. She refuses and hugs Jellal as the Etherion hits the tower, completely destroying the outer structure of the tower.[33] Surprised that she is alive after the blast, she looks around and notices there are crystals everywhere and that the structure is an absorption crystal. Jellal explains that the council's Etherion provided the tower with 2.7 billion Edeas, enough to bring Zeref back. Just then, Siegrain shows up and reveals that he and Jellal are the same person, and that he became a council member just to cast the Etherion down on the tower. They both reveal that they are the same person and that Siegrain was just a psychic projection. Now that the two have morphed back together, Jellal’s full Magical power returns. He pushes Erza to the ground.
Just then a serpent binding spell stops Erza from moving. It was put on her when she hugged him. Before forcing her into the R-System crystal in order to be sacrificed, he claims that he loved her. Natsu then arrives just in time to pull Erza out. Natsu telld her that they need to go back to work, otherwise they won't have enough money to pay Lucy's rent on time.
Erza tells him that she can't move, which he took advantage of as he comically tickles her. Erza tells Natsu to leave and not fight Jellal, because she is afraid of the consequences that will happen to him. She begs him to do so. Natsu tells Erza that he doesn't get her at all. He then punches her, causing her to faint while mentioning he'll win this fight. Enraged from what had happened, Natsu flares up like never before and goes to fight Jellal. Erza then wakes up to Natsu being blasted by Jellal's meteor attacks.
Natsu starts destroying the tower so the resurrection cannot occur. Jellal prepares another attack on Natsu, but Erza gets in front, hoping that he won't attack her. He still prepares to launch it, claiming that it does not matter who the sacrifice is, now that there is so much damage. He launches his attack. Opening her eyes, Erza sees that Simon is in front of her and that he used his body as a shield to protect her. He falls to the ground and Erza runs towards him. He confesses his love for Erza, and then dies. Erza screams in anguish and Natsu continues his battle with Jellal. By eating the Etherion, Natsu manages to defeat Jellal, but the Etherion has already been activated. Sadly, the Tower of Heaven has too much damage to it and is going to let loose all the Magic, which will make everything explode, including Gray, Lucy, and the others outside the tower.
Back in the tower, Erza carries Natsu on her back. She shortly realizes that she needs to be the sacrifice to control the Magic energy and stop the explosion. She then puts her body half-way in the crystal, only for Natsu to wake up and ask her what she is doing. She tells him what she is doing and that she cannot live without Fairy Tail, and cannot imagine a world without her friends. If she dies saving everybody, then she has no regrets; she then offers her body to the R-System so that she can control it. She blanks out completely.
Erza wakes up in a dress, wondering where she is. Everything is white around her. The scene turns to her funeral. Erza realizes that she is dead and that nobody is happy. She is a permanent part of the Magic Council, but nobody seems to care and is just crying. Natsu doesn't believe Erza is dead and refuses to accept it. As everybody cries, Erza realizes that she made a mistake. She says she did this to give them a better future and closes her eyes.
She then wakes up, realizing it was a dream. All of her friends run towards her, and Natsu carries her towards them. He lays her in the water, to which Erza is amazed that he was able to not only find, but also take her out the vortex alive. Natsu stated that they, and everybody in Fairy Tail feel the same way, especially her friends.
Natsu in tears tells Erza not to do something like that ever again. Erza promises him to do so, and she comes to the realization that she doesn't need to die for her friends, but to live for them, because that is that only way to bring the best future. For the first time since 8 years ago, she cries tears of joy, out of both eyes.
Wally, Millianna and Shô apologize to Erza, saying they didn't want to hurt her. Erza suggests they come to Fairy Tail. She then hears Jellal say she has become strong. She turns around and sees nobody, denying to herself that she heard anything. However, Erza leaves with the impression that Jellal had spoken to her. While they are celebrating their reunion, Erza mentions her belief that once "Zeref"'s spirit left Jellal's body, it was Jellal who directed the Etherion into the sky, preventing all of them from falling into destruction and losing his life in the process.
Later, Lucy asks where Shô and the others went. Erza dashes out to go look for them. She then realizes that her former comrades decided to leave Erza’s side, saying that they have caused her too much pain for her. Erza then prepares for them the official Fairy Tail’s Farewell Ceremony. After a few promises, she recites the Rules when leaving Fairy Tail, and cries goodbye to them, hoping to see them again someday. After that, Natsu, Lucy, Gray and Erza throw a farewell bash, wishing Shô, Milliana, and Wally well as they depart, finally free and living their own lives.
Fighting Festival arcEdit
Erza comes back to the Guild to see it rebuilt and in great condition; but her happiness is interrupted when she finds that Gajeel Redfox had joined Fairy Tail. She voices her concerns with Makarov, but as he gives her his confidence, she petitions to have Gajeel watched.
Later, when a reporter from Sorcerer Magazine comes to Fairy Tail to interview the members, she wears a modified version of her Heart Kreuz Armor. She surprises everyone when she expresses her desire to be interviewed, but after she is done, she goes to Heart Kreuz to voice her concerns about her new armor.
During the festival, Erza competes for the title of "Miss Fairy Tail", requiping into a beautiful dress that Lucy recognizes as Goth Loli style in front of everyone, and states that victory is hers. However, she is turned to stone, along with all the other Miss Fairy Tail contestants by Evergreen.
Natsu and Gajeel try to turn her back to normal with Natsu's flame, thinking that it would release her from the stone. She does get revived, because her artificial eye halves the effect of Evergreen's Magic, and she promptly beats the two of them. She soon realizes that evenMystogan has arrived to fight Laxus Dreyar, in order to help save the guild.
She then goes to town to find Laxus, but encounters Evergreen instead. She threatens Evergreen to release the other girls, but Evergreen is more interested in claiming the title of "Titania" for herself instead. After fighting her for some time, Erza pins her against a wall, Evergreen reveals to her she'll kill the girls if Erza doesn't strip to degrade herself. Erza counters that by requiping into her "Heaven's Wheel Armor" and threatens to kill Evergreen herself if she doesn't revive the girls, and thus, Evergreen concedes and the girls are released.
After her fight with Evergreen, both Erza and Natsu find Laxus and Mystogan already fighting in the Cathedral, and she has a shock when she witnesses the true face of Mystogan, which is exactly like Jellal's face. Not knowing it wasn't Jellal, her eyes begin to shed tears and she becomes emotionally unstable for a moment.[34] She recovers from the surprise though and prepares to attack Laxus with her Lightning Empress Armor, but later decides to trust Natsu to stop Laxus, and goes to destroy the Thunder Palace instead to protect everyone in Magnolia.
With the help of Warren Rocko, she communicates with all her comrades, and they help her to destroy the Hall of Thunder's lacrimas. In the end, she manages to take out 200 lacrimas, which are the majority of them.
As the festival continues after the whole incident, Erza is seen performing with her swords during the Fantasia Parade while Mystogan watches her.
Oración Seis arcEdit
Erza begins to try and find out about Mystogan; however, she realizesMakarov knows nothing about him.[35] Stumped, Erza wonders about Mystogan's relationship to Jellal, and why they both have the same exact face.[36]
Later, Erza and her team begin to go on a mission to hunt a Mage hunter, but she becomes surprised when she hears Lucy went off to Acalypha and took out the Naked Mummy Guild by herself. Later, after Team Natsu discusses the Balam Alliance with Mirajane and a few other members of Fairy Tail, Makarov reveals that an alliance of guilds has been made in order to take down one of the Dark Guilds part of the Balam Alliance,Oración Seis, and that Fairy Tail is a part of it. Erza, along with Natsu, Gray, Happy and Lucy are chosen as Fairy Tail's representatives. They meet up with the Blue Pegasus Guild delegates, The Trimens that are none other than, Hibiki Laytis, Eve Thylm,Ren Akatsuki, and (much to the girls' chagrin) are met with the delegates' effeminacy, though to Erza's horror,Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki is also along. They also meet the delegates of Lamia Scale Guild: Jura Nekis, Lyon Bastia and Sherry Blendi, as well as the delegates of Caitshelter Guild: Wendy Marvell and Charle. As all the delegates get together, Erza follows Natsu and Gray as they run to find the Oración Seis.
As the Oración Seis finds them, Erza battles Cobra in a new armor. However, she is bitten by his snake and she suffers from the extreme poison. As Lucy gives Erza her belt to strap on her arm, she begs for someone to cut her poisoned arm off. Lyon steps forward to do this, but this is denied by her fellow Fairy Tail members and an argument erupts. However, Charle explains to them that Wendy, who was kidnapped byBrain, can help her, as her Magic allows her to heal the injured. As the others leave to rescue Wendy, Lucy and Hibiki Laytis stay behind to take care of her. After Natsu arrives with Wendy, she treats Erza and removes the poison. When the others notice the pillar of black light in the sky, Natsu says Jellal is there and rushes forward. In the ensuing confusion, Erza slips away, intending to head towards the pillar, too.
Because the others are impeded in fights against the Oración Seis, Erza manages to reach Jellal first, although she is unsure of how to act towards him. To her surprise, she discovers that he has become amnesiac, and is only able to remember her name. As Erza explains who he is and what he did to his comrades, Jellal breaks down in tears upon learning what kind of person he is. Suddenly, Cobra appears and attempts to take Nirvana, but Jellal reveals that he put a Self-Destruction Spell around Nirvana to destroy it. However, he also put the spell on himself so he could end his life, and free Erza from the pain he has caused to her and her comrades.
She doesn't take this too kindly and runs up to him, grabs him and demands that he cancel the spell and live. Moments later, Brain appears, revealing that he taught Jellal the Self-Destruction Spell which he created himself, and easily cancels it, before activating the second stage of Nirvana. Erza and Jellal are caught in Nirvana's skywards eruption, Erza barely hanging onto an edge with one hand and Jellal in the other. She pulls them up, saying that he should live on to see the future as Fairy Tail members do with their connection of "hope". However, she takes time out of her speech to question Lucy, alongside Gray, why she and Natsu are wearing matching clothes.
Later, Midnight appears before her and quickly defeats Jellal, revealing hisReflector Magic to her. She tries her best to fight him, but all her attacks are reflected and her armor becomes reflected to confine her. As Midnight tortures Jellal with the truth of his deeds, Erza reassures Jellal that she believes that there is still goodness in him, and requips to a new armor, readying herself for round two against Midnight. She slashes at Midnight, but her attack gets reflected. She then punches him, sending him flying. She claims he has two weaknesses. She reveals that he can't reflect the human body and he starts to strangle her with her armor.
She then says that his second weakness is that he can't reflect objects in more than one area. He looks above and sees that she had sent multiple swords flying down at him, which pins him to the ground. Also, Erza's armor is an elastic robe, and she is able to overcome his twisting power. Midnight says that at midnight, his refracting gets to his peak as he transforms into a giant monster. He creates a giant explosion and stabs Jellal and Erza.
He is then successfully slashed and defeated by Erza as she reveals his transformation was all just an illusion. Afterwards, she manages to get into contact with the others through Hibiki's telepathy, only to learn that Nirvana is controlled by six different Lacrima Crystals.
After their discussion and planning, Hibiki implants a map to guide them towards the location of each lacrima crystal. Erza says she will handle Lacrima number 5. When Jellal is about to say he'll destroy the 6th Lacrima, she immediately interrupts, saying "You will handle Lacrima number 6" without indicating a name. She whispers to him that Natsu still doesn't know his relation towards the mission and might mistake him as an enemy. When Erza finishes, Natsu answers that he seemed to have heard a familiar voice, which is actually Jellal, but no one seems to reply.
She is then seen standing in front of the fifth Lacrima, waiting for the appointed time to arrive and destroy it. After Natsu's victory over Zero, the rest of the Mages including Erza manage to destroy all six Lacrima Crystals and Nirvana collapses. Everyone is seen rejoicing as they are reunited. Erza says that she will support Jellal and he doesn´t need to care about his memories. At this moment, they stare at each other and she then says "I...", only for the New Magic Council to interrupt and arrestHoteye and Jellal for their past criminal acts.
As Jellal willingly gives himself up to the council, Rahal warns him that this will probably be the last time he ever sees them again, for he will either be given the death sentence or life imprisonment. Suddenly, an angered Natsu starts to fight against the council, trying to bring Jellal back for Erza's sake, and states that Jellal is already "one of us". This causes every other Mage to fight for Jellal as well, except for Erza, who could only tremble in anger and watch the chaos. The council is then ordered to capture everyone else, but Erza decides to stop the commotion once and for all, and lets the Council take Jellal away. Jellal looks back at her in relief, but not before he mentions her scarlet hair, which implies that he remembers the time he chose her last name, Scarlet.
They say their final farewells and as Jellal is taken away, everyone looks on sadly. Erza is later shown alone, crying from both eyes, for the loss of her friend as she remembers when she and Jellal were together as kids. As he leaves, he remembers her last name, "Scarlet", which he picked when they were young. Afterwards, a flashback is then seen with a scenario back at the Tower of Heaven, with Jellal introducing himself with his full name. Wally, an old friend who is now cross-country travelling, said that his name was too long and that it'll be easy to forget. In return, Jellal said that his name, "Wally Buchanan", is hard to remember, too. Wally then asks for Erza's full name and she replied "I am Erza. Just plain Erza." Jellal then said that's kind of sad, and suddenly came to notice her hair. Surprised, Erza turned and demanded to know what he was doing. Jellal stated that her hair was beautifully scarlet, and suddenly decided to name her "Erza Scarlet", with Wally opposing, saying that he shouldn't go naming people just like that. The flashback ends with Jellal saying "Scarlet. It's the color of your hair. That way, I'll never forget it!" She is then seen crying for the loss of her friend as the sky shines in a beautiful scarlet color. Lucy mentions that the beauty of the dawn's sunrise is the likes of which she had never seen before. It is like Erza's hair, warm and passionate. She then says that if only Erza would lift her face, a beautiful sky would spread out upon her.
Back at Cait Shelter, Lucy and Sherry wear clothes given by the guild members, who offer some to Erza. All she could say to reply is "Ah, that sounds nice." She is then seen comforting Wendy, as Cait Shelter is revealed to be just a mere illusion, and invites her back to Fairy Tail.
