Tenrou Island Arc
Where the guild faced its darkest hour and endured.

Like the rest of the series, it follows the adventures of Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia of the fictional guild Fairy Tail. The season contains three story arcs. The first 28 episodes continue the "Grand Magic Games" arc, which adapts material from the beginning of the 36th to the middle of the 40th volume of the manga series Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Focusing on Natsu and the others who have been frozen in time for seven years on Tenrou Island, the members continue to participate in the Grand Magic Games, an annual competition to decide the Kingdom of Fiore's strongest guild.
