Tartaros Arc: The Final Duels is the 256th episode of the Fairy Tail anime. It aired on October 24, 2015.

Summary

Having found Laxus missing, Porlyusica starts a search for him. Wakaba, Macao and his son, Romeo go looking but with no luck. Hearing this, Porlyusica ends the search stating that it can't be helped.

Meanwhile, Laxus continues his fight with Tempester, who overwhelms him for most of the fight. Tempester explains that Laxus has only two ways he can go about the fight, either he gives up and dies, or he keeps fighting and dies. Laxus chuckles at this threat and again charges at Tempester, explaining that humans have the power to get up when they're down. He is then able to gain an advantage for a moment, but then gets knocked back and buried under debris.

Laxus then has a flashback of when he was in the Fairy Tail infirmary, before Natsu goes looking for Michello. Natsu, knowing Laxus is hurt, tells him to leave the rest to them and says his farewells.

Back at the fight, Tempester is about to give the finishing blow. At first, Laxus doesn't defend, but he then grabs Tempester's wrist and explains that he cannot move, but he was waiting for the moment Tempester got close. Laxus, still holding onto Tempester's wrist, then knocks him out with Lightning Dragon's Iron Fist, which leads Tempester to spit blood onto Laxus' coat. Seeing this, he hands the coat to Gajeel, explaining that the blood could be used as an antidote.

Back at the destroyed Fairy Tail building, Makarov sees the Fairy Tail flag, stating that it isn't over yet so long as the Fairy Tail members are around. Gajeel is eventually able to get Laxus on his feet, to which he is angry because he needs Gajeel to get the blood to Porlyusica. Suddenly, Tempester rises from the ground, to the surprise of Gajeel and Laxus, and explains why he was given the suffix 'the Immortal' even though with Hell's Core, all the demons were immortal. He goes on to say that this is because Mard Geer supplies him with curse power that increases his demon healing ability several times over. He then tells them in order to destroy him, they'd have to take him down in one attack that wouldn't give him the chance to heal, but to do that they'd need tremendous offensive magic.

Upon hearing this, Laxus sees some puddles of black water created by Torafuzar, and upon realising that he could use it as an electric current, creates an omni-directional Lightning Dragon's Roar surrounding Tempester and rendering him immobile. Tempester then realises that he can't move and that Hell's Core no longer exists, but says he must serve one last purpose, and upon saying this, blows himself up and releases the Magical Barrier Particles. Gajeel, then shouts that there isn't enough time, but suddenly everything freezes over, freezing the particles too as Grey walks towards him. Grey then asks about Tempester's blood, which Gajeel willingly shows him. Grey then walks off, saying that he will crush Tartaros.

Meanwhile, Erza, Minerva and the Exceeds find the control room, with the very reluctant help of Franmalth. They rush towards the former chairman, but are stopped by Seilah and Kyoka. Suddenly, Mirajane flies in and hits Seilah, removing the curse, Macro and thus stopping the former chairman from activating Face. With Seilah injured, and out of curse magic, Kyoka states that in actuality, the former chairman succeeded in activating Face. She then absorbs Seilah's power, preparing her for the fight against Erza, who Requips into her Armadura Fairy Armour, one of her most powerful armours.

Manga & Anime Differences

  • Laxus' entire fight against Tempester is exclusive to the anime. In the manga, Tempester is taken down in a single strike by Gray's Ice Devil's Zeroth Long Sword, while Gray's only role in the battle in the anime is limited to just freezing Tempester's Magical Barrier Particles when the Demon tries the same trick he used when attempting to assassinate Yajima.
