Bickslow (ビックスロー Bikkusurō) is a 22 year-old Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild and, along with Freed Justine and Evergreen, makes up the Thunder God Tribe.

Appearance

Fail:Bickslow's Face.JPG

Bickslow's face

Bickslow is a tall man with a mildly muscular build and broad shoulders. His hair is blue and black in color, with the black parts being almost shaven, and the blue ones, occupying the top and the sides of his head, being much longer, with the one of the top being styled in a mohawk-like crest, and the ones on the sides pointing backwards. Bickslow’s large eyebrows are also blue, and the upper part of his nose and his forehead bear the tattoo of a stylized man extending his long, curved arms outwards. His irises each have a concentric circle surrounding the pupils inside them. He also has prominent eyelashes ending in a spiraling curved motif, each placed at one of his large eyes’ sides; the pair of eyelashes pointing towards his nose are headed downwards, while the outer ones jut upwards. Below his eyes are two slightly curved lines pointing downwards. His black Fairy Tail Stamp is located on the upper part of his own tongue, often visible due to him sticking it out. Until recently, Bickslow applied dark nail polish to his fingernails.

Bickslow's guild mark

Bickslow’s upper body is covered in a dark, mildly fitting cloth covered in vertical white stripes, which extend up to his head to cover it in a tight hood, exposing only his hands and face. The upper part of the latter, however, is almost always obscured by a metal visor reminiscent of a Medieval sallet, which comes covered with eight small, elongated holes, with four of them in front of each of his eyes, allowing him to see, but preventing others from being affected by his Figure Eyes. He wears large armbands, and he has large shoulder pads each with skulls on its center. His waist is circled by a simple dark band, which holds up a massive waistguard made of cloth, which comes in four long, light-colored pieces, each adorned by a dark “X”, reaching down below his knees. Under such waistguard, Bickslow dons a pair of extremely baggy, loose dark pants, with each leg being adorned by a pair of lighter-colored belts crossing in an “X” formation. Such pants are tucked inside a pair of light, armored greaves.

When Bickslow returned to Tenrou Island alongside Freed Justine and Gildarts Clive to save his guildmates, he was shown in a new attire: the upper part of his body is still covered by a dark cloth, which, however, now is almost completely plain, with the exception of a pair of lines on his chest, which slightly jut outwards in its upper part; his separate shoulder pads were replaced by a unique one, reminiscent of a mantle, bearing the same color of the cloth covering his chest and having lighter-colored edges, that connects to a leather collar. His hood now sports a furry red crest on the back of it, and his visor is replaced by a more elaborated one, with bolts on its center and secured to his head by many bands; which further accentuate his knight-like appearance. He doesn’t have armbands anymore, instead he sports three metal bangles circling each of his biceps, and his waistguard was replaced by a simple, long and fair skirt-like cloth, held up by a large metal belt bearing Fairy Tail’s symbol on its front. Bickslow’s pants and boots, on the other hand, seem to be the same he used to wear.

After returning from Tenrou Island in X791, Bickslow donned a yet new outfit. He wears a dark shirt that is covered by a black cape with black fur surrounding the neck and shoulders. The cape is held together by a metallic emblem and the edges are decorated by a band of the same metallic texture with small circles decorating the entire length of it. Bickslow's head is covered by a gray-colored clothing and his knight-like visor. He wears two gauntlets that are the same color as his cape and are edged by the same metallic material and the same spherical decorations. He also seems to wear the same mantle over his trousers and the same boots as his previous outfit.

Personality

Fail:Bickslow's psychotic personality.png

Bickslow laughing maniacally

Bickslow has a strong tendency of laughing out loud maniacally and sticking his tongue out. He enjoys fighting and dislikes weak people, as shown when he said that he didn't consider weak people to be his nakama. He also appears to have a perverted side, as seen during his and Freed's "fight" against Lucy Heartfilia and Cana Alberona, where Freed suggested the girls to wear something over their revealing bikinis before engaging in battle. Bickslow's immediate response to this was dismissive, claiming that they were better that way.

Like the rest of the Thunder God Tribe, Bickslow holds great respect for Laxus Dreyar. He was willing to turn against the rest of Fairy Tail on Laxus's command, and he expressed open resentment when he learned that Makarov had excommunicated Laxus from the guild after the events of the Battle of Fairy Tail. During the S-Class Wizard Promotional Trial, he apparently partnered himself with Freed due to their shared desire to take Laxus' place as one of the top Mages of the guild.

Bickslow's carefree personality

Bickslow also seems to also have a lighthearted and carefree personality, when he and Happy were seen teasing Lucy about Loke. Also, he can get angry in a sort of comedic way- when Loke called Bickslow weak, as opposed to his dolls, he threw a fit.

Bickslow refers the dolls he controls with his Magic as his "babies". They, in turn, tend to repeat the last words in most of his sentences in an echoing manner. He claims to like souls, which fits in with his two types of Magic; but expressed a dislike for a currently unknown Magic, called "White Magic".

Synopsis

Fighting Festival arc

Fail:Bickslow appears.jpg

Bickslow appears with the Thunder God Tribe at Fairy Tail

Bickslow was first seen together with the Thunder God Tribe in the Ghoul Spirit Guild while he and Evergreen defeat the Dark Guild's members. After defeating all of them, the three talk about something that Laxus is planning and head home to Fairy Tail. After Evergreen petrifies the Miss Fairy Tail contestants, Laxus, Freed and Bickslow reveal themselves. He listens as Laxus challenges Makarov and the guild to "The Battle of Fairy Tail", a contest to find who is the strongest in Fairy Tail. After Laxus explains the rules of the game, he and his bodyguards leave the building.

Fail:Gray vs. Bickslow.jpg

Bickslow fights Gray

As the festival begins, Bickslow confronts Gray Fullbuster in a fashion house and the two prepare for battle. As the two battle it out, Gray manages to freeze Bickslow's dolls causing Bickslow to get distracted, giving Gray an opening to attack. However, Bickslow transfers his doll's souls into some mannequins and controls them. He uses X Formation to use the mannequins as shields to give him time to run away and trap Gray inside one of Freed's Jutsu Shiki. Inside the runes, nobody can use Magic, giving Bickslow the advantage since his Magic is long range; and using his dolls from outside the runes, Bickslow defeats him.

After defeating Gray, Bickslow continues to hunt down other Fairy Tail members. Among his victims are Nab and Laki Olietta, who ask him to stop saying, that they are nakama, but Bickslow just ignores them and defeats them swiftly.

Bickslow faces Loke, Lucy and Happy

Bickslow later comes across Lucy and Happy and fights them. He gains the upper hand quickly and tries to finish off Lucy with Baryon Formation, but Loke arrives at the last second and saves her. He explains that the power of his love for Lucy allowed him to get through the gate by himself. Loke tells Lucy to stay back, but she responds that she would fight alongside him. The two continue the fight with Lucy and Loke managing to stand up to Bickslow and his dolls, allowing Lucy to get close and attack Bickslow with her whip.

Fail:Lucy, Happy & Leo vs. Bickslow.jpg

Bickslow releases his Figure Eyes

However, she fails and Bickslow releases his secondary Magic, Figure Eyes. Happy tells the other two to close their eyes since they may be turned to dolls and controlled by Bickslow, giving Bickslow the opening he needs to attack them. Bickslow gains the upperhand once again, but with Loke's strategy, Lucy manages able to use her whip to bind Bickslow. Loke then uses Regulus Impact to finally defeat Bickslow.

After Laxus' excommunication, Bickslow, along with the rest of the Thunder God Tribe, tries to convince Laxus not to leave. But Laxus denies their request and leaves, telling them to stay healthy. After the Fantasia Parade, Bickslow and Happy teases Lucy, asking her if she and Loke are getting it on.

Bickslow and the others welcome Erza

Bickslow and the rest of the guild celebrate the arrival of Wendy Marvell and Carla at their welcoming party. Later, he was sucked through the Anima that appeared in the sky of Magnolia Town and turned into Lacrima along with the rest of the guild and the citizens of Magnolia. However, they were freed thanks to Mystogan, who returned everyone in the Lacrima back to Earth Land through the Reverse Anima Process. He, like the rest of the members of the guild and citizens of Magnolia, is unaware of the events in Edolas.

Bickslow appears, along with Freed and Evergreen, at the Fairy Tail guild welcoming back Lisanna. Lisanna is surprised, saying that it was rare to see them around the guild. Moments later, he and Nab instigate a guild brawl. When Makarov announced Freed as a participant the S-Class Mage Promotional Trial, Freed chose Bickslow over Evergreen to be his partner for the exam.

Fail:Freed and Bickslow leave first.png

Freed and Bickslow get ahead

Bickslow and the participants head towards Tenrou Island, where the trial will take place, and he doesn't seem to mind the heat despite wearing heavy clothing. Shortly after, the master arrives to explain the rules of the first trial, to get to shore and pick one of the 8 paths there. As soon as the trial started, Freed uses his Jutsu Shiki to trap everyone on the boat, except him and Bickslow, for 5 minutes. Freed uses his Dark Écriture: Wings and Bickslow uses Flight Formation to fly towards the island. When Bickslow asks why Freed didn't simply trap them for good, Freed replied that if he did, it wouldn't be a fair trial.

Fail:Freed and Bickslow vs Lucy and Cana.png

Bickslow and Freed vs Cana and Lucy

They arrive on the island first and have the luxury to choose any path they want. After they realize that their chosen path leads to a battle with Cana and Lucy, they smirk, since Lucy doesn't have Loke to fight Bickslow and Cana couldn't even touch Freed during their last encounter. Freed asks Cana and Lucy to cover themselves before starting the fight, but Bickslow says that they are better the way they are. Cana realizes Freed's weakness to women in bikinis and uses her Sexy Lady Card to attack him. With Freed fully distracted by the women holding him, Bickslow decides to take matters into his own hands.

Fail:Bickslow prepares to attack.png

Bickslow prepares to attack

Lucy calls on Virgo who appears in a bikini, distracting Freed even more. Bickslow claims that stuff won't work on him and easily defeats Virgo by hitting her with his dolls. He then proceeds to attack Cana and Lucy. Not wanting to lose, Cana plays The Prayer's Fountain card. Beams of water form in many directions but fail to hit any of Bickslow's dolls. From the water Cana just formed, Lucy summons Aquarius. She attacks Freed and Bickslow with a huge wave, defeating them. Once Cana and Lucy leave, Bickslow gets up and asks if Freed is really okay with the result. Freed reveals he's okay with purposely not fighting back because he owed those two. Bickslow still says he was excited to take Laxus' spot, though Freed tells him it doesn't matter right now and that Laxus will return one day. Bickslow and Freed think to themselves about how lucky those two were that they ran into them. After their defeat, they head back to the guild with Gildarts.

Bickslow and Freed confront Rustyrose

Along the way, Bickslow, Freed, and Gildarts see the alert signal and immediately head back to the island. He and Freed then arrive and take Levi, Lisanna, and Pantherlily's place in their battle against Rustyrose. Bickslow attacks with a Baryon Formation, but Rustyrose escapes and creates Belfast of the Hurricane. However, since it was an inanimate object, Bickslow manages to take control of its soul and tells it to crush and destroy itself. This allows him to create an opening for Freed to injure Rustyrose significantly. He and Freed then stand over Rustyrose and state that he is not getting off, since he hurt their friends. Rustyrose then uses the attack Ghosts of Brittia on Bickslow and Freed and the ghosts produced begin to wrap around Bickslow and Freed's bodies. Bickslow is later seen collapsing when Azuma destroys the Great Tenrou Tree.

After Azuma's defeat, he and Freed regain their power and attack Rustyrose together. Rustyrose summons his Tower of Dingir to capture them as well as Lisanna, Pantherlily and Levy. Bickslow uses his Figure Eyes to take control of Elfman, who attacks Rustyrose and releases him and the others from Rustyrose's Magic. Then, with Freed and Lisanna, they defeat Rustyrose.

When Natsu and the others return to the camp, Freed and Bickslow are seen reviewing the situation while Pantherlily informs them about the Grimoire Heart Battle Ship's location. When Natsu is ready to go battle Hades, he calls on Lucy and Happy. Lucy feels she would be better with defense, but Bickslow and Freed reassure her they will handle the defenses. Before the attack team, leaves Bickslow says he will protect them no matter what.

They then go to investigate this and all three arrive at a clearing where Laxus, Natsu, Gajeel and Happy have already gathered. When Natsu challenges Laxus to a fight Bickslow interjects and implies that the Raijinshuu are his opponents. Bickslow is later seen with the rest of his team members standing with Laxus before his first battle, watching the participants prepare to fight. After the quick defeat of Natsu he congratulates Laxus on a job well done. Bickslow then objects to Laxus leaving after he turns from Makarov in silence. When this doesn’t work Bickslow simply watches Laxus walk away.

He later watches as Cana make teams to hunt for the clock and the Oración Seis, with Macao revealing him to be with Wendy, to which he gets excited about. Fail:Seith Magic soul vision.PNG Bickslow againist the Grim Reaper Bickslow and Wendy are sent to climb up a mountain trail, where they meet Erigor, now going by the name Grim Reaper, who does not hesitate to attack them. Bickslow comments on Erigor's bad memory, when he seems forgetful about his own name or yesterday's weather, but the other man answers by summoning wind blasts and tornadoes to attack the Fairy Tail Mages. However, they easily dodge the attacks. After Erigor claims that he commands the weather, Wendy casts on Bickslow and herself an unknown support spell, and the two head to assault him, only to be attacked by his fierce wind blasts instead. Fail:Bickslow buried in cows.png Bickslow lies under the cows, defeated Bickslow, although worn out from this strike, refuses to be healed by Wendy. However, she protects him from the Grim Reaper's summoned storm, using her breath attack, which causes Bickslow to comment on her bravery and her spirit. Bickslow then goes to the offensive as well, using his dolls, activating his signature Zero Distance Byron Formation to defeat the Grim Reaper, although the Dark Guild Mage easily dodges this spell. The Grim Reaper then summons fierce wind gales, causing even cows to take off, and aims to defeat Wendy. However, his attempt fails, as Bickslow gets in the way, protecting Wendy, but being smashed by a big number of flying cows. Fail:Wendy Healing Bickslow.png Bickslow being healed Badly injured, he lies on the ground while Wendy heals him. He orders her to leave but she refuses to leave a friend behind; with her words, Grim Reaper suddenly remembers certain memories. After Bickslow's been healed, he confirms that their opponent is under a lot of pain. This makes Wendy want to heal him, shocking Bickslow with how kind-hearted she can really be. He watches as she launches an attack on Grim Reaper, not only defeating but also causing his "heart" to be healed, which Bickslow says she did. Bickslow, along with Wendy, tries to awaken Grim Reaper. When he wakes up the two ask what Reborn Oración Seis is after. He responds by telling them what happened to him that made him turn into the Grim Reaper, and thanks them both for assisting him. Bickslow and Wendy then realize that somebody may have also been manipulating Cana when she created their teams, as none of them have any chemistry. Before they can ponder this further though, the Infinity Clock awakens and the two watch in shock as it flies over them. After the battle for the Infinity Clock is finished, Legion Corps appears at the Fairy Tail Guild. They then apologize for all the trouble they have caused. After a short celebration, Legion Corps informs Bickslow and the others that they are leaving on a life long mission to find the pieces of the Infinity Clock scattered across the world.

Later, as Laxus moves to confront Atlas Flame, Bickslow, Freed, and Evergreen appear to help Laxus, stating that, in light of Romeo's fears, he should just leave worries of Laxus' well-being to the Thunder God Tribe. Bickslow goes on to attack Atlas Flame alongside the rest of the Thunder God Tribe, but they realize Laxus' Magic is incompatible against the Dragon. After Evergreen asks about the existence of a Water Dragon Slayer to aid them, Bickslow acknowledges the Fire Dragon Slayer's presence falling from the sky. Upon landing on Atlas Flame, Natsu reveals his plan to eat Atlas Flame, greatly astonishing Bickslow and the rest of the Thunder God Tribe. While hanging on tight to Atlas Flame, Natsu calls out to Bickslow and the rest of the Tribe to head for the castle to assist Wendy. After Evergreen notes Wendy's inexperience, Bickslow assumes Wendy has her hands completely full against her Dragon opponent. After Natsu assures the Tribe that he is able to handle Atlas by himself, Bickslow and the rest of the Thunder God Tribe bolt towards the castle to assist Wendy.

Eventually arriving at at Mercurius, Laxus battles alongside Wendy while Bickslow and the Thunder God Tribe take on Motherglare's minions. As he attempts to fight them off, Bickslow comments on the resilience of their enemy. However, the destruction of the Eclipse Gate thanks to Natsu's actions causes the Dragons and Future Rogue to be removed from the present. As they and the minions begin disappearing, Bickslow stands with Mirajane and the rest of the Thunder God Tribe and watches.

Bickslow, along with all the other Mages that participated in the Grand Magic Games, is invited to the palace for a party to celebrate their survival against the Dragons. He questions Natsu's whereabouts, along with the other Thunder God Tribe members, when he finds out that the Dragon Slayer is missing.

Some time later, Bickslow and the other Fairy Tail Mages return back to Magnolia and, to their surprise, a big event is thrown to celebrate their coming first in the Grand Magic Games. When Natsu lifts the trophy Fairy Tail received for its victory, Bickslow is among the members that celebrate with him.

Magic and Abilities

Fail:Human Possession.jpg

Bickslow controlling his dolls

Human Possession (人形憑 Hitotsuki): A type of Seith Magic that allows Bickslow to seal wandering souls inside objects and manipulate them as he wishes. The so-called "dolls" which are produced by this union can serve a variety of purposes, such as offense, defense and even transportation. They are capable of freely floating and maneuvering in the air, and their main offensive ability consists of firing barrages of powerful blasts, which possess enough force to generate explosions of various sizes, particularly destructive if all dolls focuses their assaults on a single point. They can threaten and confuse foes by flying around them, as well as physically assault them by throwing themselves against targets using the momentum gained from their flight, being capable of triggering melee barrages of attacks from every direction; in addition, Bickslow is able to deprive foes of objects through their use, as shown when one of his dolls stole Celestial Spirit keys from Lucy Heartfilia, and can combine them in different "formations" to perform particular actions, such as more powerful attacks. The souls Bickslow uses aren't bound to the specific dolls he chooses to insert them into, meaning that he's capable of changing their containers at his whim: this comes in handy if, for example, the opponent does manage to incapacitate Bickslow's usual containers. So far, he has always been shown controlling five dolls at a time; his standard dolls are quite small in size, appear to be made of wood, and are reminiscent of tribal totems, each possessing a colored face and little wooden wings at their sides. Aside from such signature dolls of him, Bickslow was shown implanting his souls into and controlling full size mannequins and toys from the Toy Store Tom in Magnolia Town, referring to the place as "a treasure trove of dolls. Bickslow's usual dolls are always shown floating beside him, and often go on to repeat the last words of the sentences he pronounces; such comedic trait isn't limited to their owner, however, as shown when the dolls could repeat what Lucy Heartfilia said before attacking her. Human Possession also grants Bickslow the ability to see human souls, something which, according to his own words, allowed him to determine Loke wasn't a human long before Lucy discovered his identity as a Celestial Spirit.

• Line Formation (ラインフォーメーション Rain Fōmēshon): At Bickslow's command, all five dolls gather in midair and then combine by standing on top of one another. From such linear formation of dolls, a large, vertical crescent-shaped beam, roughly taller than a human, is released towards the opponent. Unlike normal beams, this type of attack cuts through its targets, and possesses enough cutting power to cleanly bifurcate both the ground and large pieces of furniture.
• Victory Formation (ビクトリフォーメーション Bikutori Fōmēshon): Either an actual attack or a strategy, it is completely unknown what Victory Formation consists of, as Gray Fullbuster froze Bickslow's dolls before he could use it.
• X Formation (エックスーフォーメーション　Ekkusu Fōmēshon): Bickslow crosses his arms before himself in an "X" shape, prompting four of his dolls to gather around him in a matching "X"-shaped pattern to physically block an incoming attack targeting Bickslow from above. This technique was shown employed using four mannequins from the store Bickslow and Gray Fullbuster were fighting in, and such makeshift dolls could shield Bickslow from the great force of Gray's Ice-Make: Hammer; it's unknown if he can employ such formation even with his standard dolls, and if the obtained defense is the same. A variation of this move was performed when Gray assaulted Bickslow frontwards: Bickslow positioned four of the mannequins to block the attack with their mass, their legs jutting outwards in a formation which again resembled an "X".

Fail:Baryon Formation.gif

Baryon Formation

• Baryon Formation (バリオンフォーメーション Barion Fōmēshon): At Bickslow's command, all of his dolls position themselves in a pentagonal pattern. A large whirlwind is produced around the formation, and from the latter's hollow center a massive and powerful Magical beam is generated, which is subsequently fired towards the target. Such attack is capable of causing mass destruction, creating a large explosion, and was shown performed with both some toys and Bickslow's usual dolls. While in the manga the dolls appear to be still during the preparation for this attack, the anime portrayed them spinning vertically. A baryon is a composite particle.
  • Zero Distance Baryon Formation: The dolls get very close to the target before blasting, increasing the power of the spell.
• Flight Formation: All five dolls join together in a row by combining their top and bottom parts together, in the very same way used for Line Formation, but instead place themselves horizontally, with Bickslow mounting on the thin "footbridge" which is generated from their union. Thanks to the dolls' flying properties, this formation allows Bickslow to remain suspended in midair and move around as he wishes, making for a useful mode of transportation. (Unnamed)
• Crush (砕 Sai): Bickslow raises one of his arms with the index and middle fingers outstretched, and, employing his Seith Magic, prompts a creature summoned by the opponent to burst into a powerful explosion generated inside its own body, which annihilates it. Such technique could destroy Belfast the Hurricane, a large monster generated by Rustyrose's Arc of Embodiment Magic, in an instant.

Fail:Figure eyes.jpg

Figure Eyes activated

Figure Eyes (造形眼 Figyua Aisu): As a member of Thunder God Tribe, Bickslow possess exclusive Eye Magic which he employs as a secondary ability. In his case, the Figure Eyes allow him to take control of the souls of living things who come into direct eye contact with him, and to manipulate them as if they were his dolls. When he uses this Magic, the body of the living being controlled turns into a darker color. Such control can seemingly be nullified at Bickslow's will, with the target being returned to the old self and regaining possession of their body. Activating this Eye Magic usually forces Bickslow's opponents to close their eyes, in order to avoid eye contact with him; this very action, however, leaves them open to the attacks of his dolls. Bickslow made claim that his Human Possession and Figure Eyes, together, make for a combination unbeatable by anyone in the world; something which seemingly proved itself right until his fight with Lucy Heartfilia and Loke.

Enhanced Durability: Bickslow has shown to be pretty durable and resilient: he could take direct physical attacks from someone as strong as Gray Fullbuster, being even sent falling several meters down by one of them, without much trouble; he could also undergo a direct blow to the face from Lucy Heartfilia's whip and take the full brunt of Loke's Regulus Impact without visible injuries afterwards. He was directly attacked by Yomazu's Kan spell, which pierced his torso from side to side, and retaliated without any restrains or injuries.

Bickslow's acrobatic skills

Master Acrobatic Skills: Bickslow has been shown able to easily perform amazing acrobatic feats high above the ground, positioning himself in places which enemies cannot reach while he uses his Human Possession Magic against them: during his fight with Gray Fullbuster in an alleyway, he could reach a point several meters above the street and remain still there in a split by standing with a foot on each wall without effort; later on, while chasing after some fellow Fairy Tail members, he was shown hanging upside down from a cord which was horizontally hanged over the streets, using his feet as "hooks" to remain suspended. During his fight with Lucy Heartfilia, he perched himself on top of a small steeple placed at the summit of the Toy Store Tom, standing there as his dolls attacked Lucy, and even managing to retain balance while switching positions without a single effort.

Relationships

Relationships

Fairy Tail Guild Celestial Spirits Laxus Dreyar Fail:Laxus and his tribe appears.jpg The Thunder God Tribe with their hostages Bickslow seems to respect Fairy Tail's S-Class Mage, Laxus, being part of the Thunder God Tribe, a team led by him, and being willing to aid Laxus against Fairy Tail itself, assisting him in his attempt to dethrone Makarov. During such events, Laxus was shown to acknowledge his team as an elite group, believing them capable of besting whatever opponent they might have been pitted against in the guild, but also acted quite rudely towards them if they failed to complete their tasks or questioned his orders. Fail:Thunder God Tribe in the guild.png Bickslow happy to see Laxus again Despite being sometimes offhanded towards them, Laxus is shown to greatly care for the members of his team, being willing to take all the blame for what the four of them did together on himself, and encouraging them to stay in Fairy Tail even while he was excommunicated. When Bickslow reunited with Laxus on Tenrou Island, he was shown to be overjoyed, later rejoicing in his readmission to the guild. Freed Justine Fail:Freed and Bickslow leave first.png Team Bickslow and Freed Freed is one of Bickslow's teammates in the Thunder God Tribe. They keep a very close and good relationship, and share their admiration for Laxus Dreyar. They also have a very good teamwork and partnership, as seen when they formed a team to participate in S-Class Mage Promotion Trial. They predetermined their acting before the trials first part, agreeing to let Lucy Heartfilia and Cana Alberona win if they were their opponents, as both acknowledged the girls' strong will and determination to stop them during the Fighting Festival arc. Though they feign defeat in the said battle, the two return in full power to team up against Rustyrose, and used their teamwork to eventually defeat the member of the Seven Kin, with Levy commenting that when the two combine their abilities seriously, they are truly powerful. Evergreen Fail:Thunder Gods and Lisanna Surveillance.jpg Bickslow teases Evergreen Bickslow and Evergreen are both Fairy Tail Mages and members of the Thunder God Tribe, along with Freed Justine. The two of them keep a close relationship and share their admiration for Laxus Dreyar. Bickslow also seems to enjoy teasing Evergreen about her relation with Elfman, as seen during the Grand Magic Games after the battle between Elfman and Bacchus and before Laxus' battle against Alexei. Lucy Heartfilia Bickslow and Lucy are guild mates of Fairy Tail. Bickslow likes teasing Lucy a lot and calls her the "Cosplay Maniac Queen". Bickslow also teases Lucy about her relationship with Loke. Even though they fought during the Battle of Fairy Tail, neither of them hold grudges and even laugh together. Gray Fullbuster Fail:Gray vs. Bickslow.jpg Gray faces Bickslow Bickslow and Gray are both members of the Fairy Tail Guild and, as such, consider each other allies. Though Gray has been in Fairy Tail since he was a child, he was quite surprised to see Bickslow arrive at the guild with Laxus and the rest of his team, indicating that the two were not very familiar with one another. Fail:Gray attacked by Bickslow's mannequins.jpg Bickslow attacks and defeats Gray After the Battle of Fairy Tail had started, Bickslow was found by Gray and eventually battled him inside a toy shop where Bickslow complimented Gray's skills. The two eventually took their battle to the streets where Gray got trapped in one of Freed's runes barriers and was stripped of his Magic. Despite his attempts to fight back with only his fists, Bickslow easily overpowered Gray and ultimately defeated him. After the Battle of Fairy Tail was over, Bickslow, with the Thunder God Tribe's attempts to be more open with the rest of the guild, seemed to accept Gray like any other. Gray also seemed to respect Bickslow strength, as he was quite visibly surprised when he heard that Cana and Lucy had defeated him and Freed during the first phase of the S-Class trial. Loke Before Loke left the Fairy Tail guild and was returned to the Spirit World, he and Bickslow seemed to be on friendly terms. The two would fight together to test their strength, though Bickslow would always win, even when he was going easy on Loke. Fail:Loke defeats Bickslow (manga).png Loke defeats Bickslow, much to Bickslow's disbelief However, when Bickslow joins Laxus in trying to overthrow the Fairy Tail guild, their relationship quickly turns from comrades to enemies, as Bickslow threatens Loke's owner Lucy. When Loke appears to save Lucy from Bickslow, Bickslow is surprised at his appearance, happily exclaiming aloud a friendly greeting. However, he also notes how he always suspected Loke was a Spirit but never said anything to anyone, something which shows his respect for Loke and his decision to keep his identity a secret. He also seems a bit put put by how Loke could so easily turn on him when he kept the secret for so long. When Loke subsequently moves to attack his dolls and point out that Bickslow himself is weak, Bickslow becomes visibly angry, and when Loke and Lucy gain the upper hand in their fight and move in to finish him off, Bickslow still remains in denial, being unable to believe that Loke could ever beat him. In the aftermath of the Battle of Fairy Tail, Bickslow is shown to have forgiven both Loke and Lucy for what happened in their battle, and jokingly tries to tease Lucy about her relationship with the Spirit.
