Fairy Tail King of the
Dragons
The seventh season of the Fairy Tail anime series is directed by Shinji Ishihira and produced by
A-1 Pictures and
Bridge.[1] Like the rest of the series, it follows the adventures of
Lucy Heartfilia and
Natsu Dragneel of the fictional guild, Fairy Tail. The season contains three story arcs. The first 27 episodes continue the "
Grand Magic Games" (大魔闘演武編 Dai Matō Enbu-hen?) arc, which adapts material from the beginning of the 36th to the middle of the 40th volume of the Fairy Tail manga by
Hiro Mashima. Focusing on Natsu,
Lucy, and the others who have been frozen in time for seven years on
Sirius Island, the members continue to participate in the Grand Magic Games, an annual competition to decide
Fiore's strongest guild. However, they encounter a conspiracy involving the
Eclipse Project and the imminent destruction of the Fiore
Kingdom. The next
24 episodes form an original storyline called "
Eclipse Celestial Spirits" (日蝕星霊編 Nisshoku Seirei-hen?), in which the twelve celestial spirits of the
Zodiac rebel against their owners Lucy and Yukino after being transformed by the black magic gate Eclipse. The third arc is "Tartaros" (冥府の門編 Tarutarosu-hen?),[2][3] which adapts material from the rest of the manga's 40th volume to the middle of the 49th volume. The arc depicts Fairy Tail's battle with a dark guild of Zeref's demons who aim to resurrect their master and Zeref's ultimate creation,
E.N.D.
