Chapter 51

Giant Shadow is the fifty-first chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Makarov has been brought to Porlyusica. She figures the magical power has been drained by Wind Magic, and says that in case Makarov's magic was to be recollected from the air, his recovery would be faster. She chastises him for his recklessness, but still deeply cares for him. After Bisca and Alzack learn of his condition, she chases them away with a broom, because Porlyusica, the Healing Mage, hates humans.

The guild is in bad shape. Everyone is saddened by their need to retreat, and even more saddened by Makarov’s condition. They are planning another attack, this time with props. However, Lucy is sadder than everyone. She blames herself for what happened to her guild, because some time before she ran away from home. She also thinks very lowly of her father, the man who orchestrated this war, but not one of her friends sees her as culpable. They accept her as their own, and Natsu dubs her Lucy of Fairy Tail. This makes her shed tears of joy. Cana and Mirajane are looking for allies. Cana uses her Card Magic to find Mystogan but fails, and Laxus can’t be bothered to come, so they are on their own. Mirajane is hopeless so she decides to fight, but even though she was originally an S-class wizard, after Lisanna’s death, she lost her powers. Erza is taking a shower while thinking about the situation they’re in. She blames herself for not going with the Master, but her thoughts are cut short by a tremor. The guild gets out, and they see Phantom Lord’s base walking towards them.
