Episode 36



Heaven’s Game is the thirty sixth episode of the Fairy Tail anime. It first aired on July 5, 2010

Synopsis
The episode picks up where the last one left off. Natsu is still wearing the cat helmet, and Wally, who stands behind him, is targeting him with his gun. Elsewhere, Erza, Simon, Lucy, Gray, Juvia and Shô are climbing a flight of stairs, trying to reach Jellal. Simon says that indeed he attacked them, because if they were to succumb to that kind of attack, there was no hope for them to beat Jellal. Back to the Cat Room, Wally has a clear shot of Natsu, but Millianna stops him, not allowing him to bully Kitty-cats. Wally tries to make her understand, but Natsu meows, and she is convinced she is not wrong. Wally continues his attack, and soon convinces Millianna to help him. She captures his with her tubes, and it seems that Natsu is about to lose, but Happy intervenes, and interrupts Wally catch phrase. Seeing Happy, Millianna meddles once more, and Wally is unable to attack. Natsu then uses his secret move, “Cat in Distress”. Millianna believes him, and lets go of the ropes. Finally free, Natsu finishes them both of with his Wing Slash of the Fire Dragon.

Seeing that Millianna and Wally lost, Jellal decides to let the game begin. He tells Vidaldus Taka to “go”, and he summons his team mates, Ikaruga and Fukuro. With the Trinity Raven now complete, Jellal announces the start of the “Heaven’s Game”. He explains the rules, which are simple, if the door to Heaven opens (i.e. if he sacrifices Erza) he wins, if they stop him from doing it, they win. However, there’s one more detail. The Magic council will probably use Etherion, and everyone will be annihilated. Finally facing the truth, Shô understands and decides to imprison Erza inside his cards, to keep her save, and beat Jellal himself. Wally, on the other hand, confides in Natsu that all they ever wanted was freedom. Natsu tells him that he doesn’t know what kind of freedom he is talking about, but that the freedom at Fairy Tail is amazing. Having said that he flies away with Happy, trying to reach Jellal. He is, however intercepted by Fukuro, who makes him enter the tower, where he finds Simon. At first he is not trustful of him, but after he explains himself, Natsu believes him. Fukuro then enters the room, and Simon uses his Dark Moment, but unfortunately for him, the Owl of Justice can see in the darkness. He knocks Simon out, and Simon explains to Natsu that Trinity Raven, part of a dark guild, takes on only assassination requests. Bewildered by their concept of a guild, Natsu attacks, but Fukuro’s speed easily outmatches him.

In the meantime, Lucy and Juvia are looking for Natsu, being that Gray went after Shô and Erza. Vidaldus reaches them, and attacks them with his hair. He cannot attack Juvia though, being that her body is made of water. She uses her Water Lock on him, but his hair absorbs it. Then, Vidaldus decides to make Juvia his succubus, and by playing the Rock of Succubus song on his guitar, completely changes Juvia’s personality, and makes her go after Lucy. In his room, Jellal counts both Lucy and Juvia as beaten.
