Afterwards, while preparing the Etherion, Yajima spies on Siegrain and Ultear and overhears them talk about how his dreams are going to be realized. Yajima then sees as the two suddenly disappear.

Grand Magic Games arc
Yajima later appears alongside Chapati Lola as an announcer in the Grand Magic Games Main Events, where he happily congratulates the members of Fairy Tail for passing the preliminaries.

During the first day's initial match where Lucy is fighting against Flare Corona, Yajima senses something when Lucy's Urano Metria is cancelled. However, he keeps his silence.

When the second day of the Grand Magic Games begins, Jason of Sorcerer Magazine stands as the event's guest judge. Chapati then announces the day's event being Chariot - a race between competitors, on interconnected chariots. Yajima hints that this competition, however, is not a regular race. Chapati asks Yajima on whom the latter thinks would win, but Yakima says he is not sure himself. The duo comment on the game, where Bacchus emerges victorious.

In the battle portion, Yajima expects a fair fight between Kurohebi and Toby Horhorta, with the former claiming the win. Yajima observes the battle that unfolds between Bacchus and Elfman, in which Team Fairy Tail A triumphs in. Yajima eagerly watches the next battle where Mirajane faces off against Jenny Realight in a peculiar swimsuit modelling contest that ended with Mirajane effortlessly delivering the final blow against her opponent with her Satan Soul: Sitri. When Team Sabertooth's Yukino Aguria steps up to contend against Team Mermaid Heel's Kagura Mikazuchi, Yajima reminds Chapati that this is no longer another beauty contest, and the two announcers watches in surprise as the battle reaches its climax, and concludes with Kagura's victory.

When the third day officially begins, Yajima and Chapati introduce the day's guest judge, Lahar. Yajima then wonders what occurrence may happen in the third day of the Games.

The day's event Pandemonium begins, in which the participants must battle monsters inside a temple to earn points. After Erza Scarlet states that she will kill all 100 monsters in the temple and eventually conquering the event herself,Yajima along with his commentators is shocked of what they just have seen. Yajima, amazed by Erza, jokingly admits that he gives up as the game's commentator. On the day's battle portion, Yajima asks Lahar about Eve's affiliation with the Council before deciding to enter Blue Pegasus to which Lahar confirms. In the battle between Team Fairy Tail B's Laxus Dreyar and Team Raven Tail's Alexei Yajima assures to Lahar about bringing his unit. Lahar replies to Yajima that he brought his unit with him for the games' regulations and such. He tells Lahar to keep an eye out on Team Raven Tail, if they do anything mischievous he commands him stop the match immediately.

After the Raven Tail's disqualification, the next battle is revealed to be Team Fairy Tail A's Wendy Marvell against Team Lamia Scale's Chelia Blendy Yajima is surprised about Fairy Tail having Wendy and comments that such frail-like child is joining a guild like Fairy Tail. The battle continues and Chapati gets excited as the battle gets more and more intense leading to Yajima reminding him not to embarrass himself. Chapati is too excited that he commits mistakes when he comments on the match. Yajima corrects Chapati of the kind of magic used by the girls battling which is the Wind Magic. The battle continues with both girls giving an edge suddenly Wendy unleashes a secret technique and everyone thinks Chelia is defeated. Surprisingly, Chelia gets up uninjured, wearing a smile and says the battle has just begun.

At the end of the third day, Yajima, while leaving the stadium, meets Doranbolt, Lahar and some Rune Knights finding out that "Mystogan" has the same face as Jellal Fernandes. Aware about what was going on, Yajima decides to cover Jellal's identity, saying that he's in fact Mystogan, the Edolas' counterpart of Jellal, and thus both have the same face, being this the reason of why Mystogan hides his face. Aware of the existence of Edolas too, Lahar accepts Yajima's explanation and lets Jellal go. Yajima then mentally communicates with Jellal, telling him to leave before he causes problems to Makarov. After the incident, however, Lahar tells Doranbolt that Yajima is lying.

The fourth day starts with the Event Naval Battle, in which the competitors must knock each other out of a giant water sphere, with a special rule applying to the final two competitors left. Given the rules, Yajima points out that the event is like a "water sumo match". Together with his partners Chapati Lola and Labian, they give an overview on the competitors before the start of the event.

After the events completion, Yajima and his co-hosts watch as Fairy Tail and Sabertooth have a tense moment and narrowly avoid fighting after Minerva's display of cruelty towards Lucy. When the new Team Fairy Tail -a combination of the A and B team made to even out the numbers- steps out, Chapati comments on the fact that Fairy Tail and Sabertooth have been matched against each other later that day, with Yajima pondering over what may have happened earlier had the two teams not settled down. Later that day the tag battles begin, and Yajima comments on Nichiya's (who is revealed to be the Blue Pegasus member in the bunny suit) quick knock out of the battle, and how everything has come down to Ichiya in a 1 vs. 2 fight. However, Ichiya manages to pull through and win the fight, and when later asked if he believed it to be a good match, Yajima replies that he supposes it was.

Later that day the third tag battle begins between Natsu and Gajeel of Team Fairy Tail and Sting and Rogue of Team Sabertooth. When Natsu and Gajeel easily -to the surprise of the crowd- begin to overpower the Twin Dragons, Chapati hastily turns to Yajima and asks for his opinion on the matter. Yajima doesn't reply at first, but then states that the Sabertooth Mages were simply outmatched.
