The Grand Magic Games in X791 (大魔闘演武 Dai Matō Enbu), like every other year, were held in Crocus, Fiore[1] inside the Domus Flau.[2]

Participants[]

Initially, 113 teams took part in the tournament, but after the Preliminary Event, the number of teams participating decreased to only 8.[3] After Raven Tail's disqualification, Fairy Tail was forced to combine their two teams into one, thus reducing the participating teams to 6.[4]

Mato's hologram

Mato

Referee & Mascot[]

The preliminaries and the main games are announced by Mato, who wears a giant pumpkin as his head. Mato wears a striped red and white shirt with a dark green cape. He also wears a pair of black trousers, navy blue boots, white gloves and a green wizard's hat. Mato appears to have a cheerful and happy personality, however it is discovered that Mato has a darker hidden side when he announces that no responsibilities will be taken for any deaths in the preliminary round.[5] Mato is later revealed to be the king, Toma E. Fiore, underneath the costume.

Main Events[]

Chapati and Yajima

Chapati and Yajima as the main commentators

The Grand Magic Games' announcer is Chapati Lola, with Yajima, a former member of the Council, as the main commentator. In the first day, Jenny Realight, a member of Blue Pegasus Guild and also Miss Fiore, is the guest commentator for the battles and events. Chapati gives the audience general information about the games and the participants, while Yajima gives his opinions about them. In the second day of the games, Jason, a reporter from the Sorcerer Magazine, was chosen to be the second day's guest, saying "cool" to everything that he sees,[6] and since Mato had the day off, Chapati also acted as referee.[7] In the third day, the Magic Council's official, Lahar, serves as the guest.[8] The fourth day's guest is Rabian from the theater group.[9] For the fifth and final day of the Games, the guest is Mato.[10]

Preliminary Event[]

Sky Labyrinth

Sky Labyrinth

In X791, the preliminary event consisted of getting out of a magical labyrinth created by parts of Crocus' buildings. The first eight teams that reached the goal will move on.[11] The inside appearance of the labyrinth was like a giant 3D maze that spins.[12] The goal's location was a door with the word "Congratulations!" and "GOAL" written above it, where Mato waited to greet the winning teams.[13]

The tournament will be divided into 5 days, with two events held each day, one battle and one surprise event. For the surprise event, each team will receive an amount of points based on their position in the end of it:

  • 1st: 10 points
  • 2nd: 8 points
  • 3rd: 6 points
  • 4th: 4 points
  • 5th: 3 points
  • 6th: 2 points
  • 7th: 1 points
  • 8th: 0 points

For the battles, the winning team gets 10 points and the loser won't get any; if the fight ends up in a draw, both teams get 5 points.[14]

The battles will be decided by the organizers based on the fans' votes[15] (however, some battles are arranged according to the Fiore's King's desires[16]) and will be set up like so:

  • Team A vs Team B
  • Team C vs Team D
  • Team E vs Team F
  • Team G vs Team H

The arena is the entire battle field and the winner is decided when the opponent is rendered incapable of fighting within the thirty minute time limit.[17]

First Day: July 1, X791[]

  • Mages lose 1 point if they are attacked by another competitor[19] or if they attack a clone.[20]
  • 10 seconds after being attacked, the Mage will respawn in a different area of the city.[21]

Third Day: July 3, X791[]

Pandemonium & MPF[]

Pandemonium[]

The third day's event is "Pandemonium", in which the participants are:

In this game, the participants are made to enter a temple one at a time. Inside the temple are 100 monsters of different strength levels.[25]

  • The participant in the temple can choose to take on any number of the 100 monsters at a time, but must defeat them all if they wish to continue.[26]
  • If they do defeat them, the number they overcame will be added to their event score.[26]
  • Should they fall in their fight, they will be removed from the event with the score they have earned up until that point.[27]
  • The participants have no control over which level of monster they face, as the generation of the monsters is random, and must choose the number of monsters they wish to face with this in mind.[26]
  • The game ends when either all participants run out of Magic Power, or all the monsters are defeated.[26]

However, Erza Scarlet of Team Fairy Tail A finishes the event by herself, resulting in the organizers having to plan a secondary event for the remaining seven teams.

MPF (Magic Power Finder)[]

The third day's secondary event was "MPF (Magic Power Finder)", in which the participants are:

In the secondary event, participants must hit a Magic Power measuring device with the strongest attack they can muster.

Battles[]

  • Due to the events of the Team Fairy Tail B versus Team Raven Tail battle, Raven Tail was disqualified for the rest of the games, for the following reasons:
    • Raven Tail's Guild Master, Ivan Dreyar was participating in the tournament, disguised as "Alexei";
    • Team Raven Tail cheated, by having the 4 other members enter the field and attack the single participant, Laxus Dreyar.
  • Due to the damage sustained from the second battle, Eve Tearm of Team Blue Pegasus, was unable to participate in Day 4 of the Games and was replaced by the reserve member, Jenny Realight.

In this game, the participants swim inside a floating sphere of water.[29]

  • The participants must knock one another outside of the sphere, with points being awarded based on the order in which the players are eliminated.[29]
  • Falling out of the sphere results in the contestant being automatically removed from play for the rest of the event.[29]
  • The last person remaining in the sphere will be the victor, and receive top points.[29]
  • Any form of Magic or technique can be used to assist in knocking rival participants out.[29]
  • When only two participants remain in the ring, a special 5-minute timer will be set. Should one of the participants fall out of the sphere during this time, they will not receive second place, rather they will automatically come last.[29]

Fairy Tail Juvia Lockser 3rd

Due to the odd number of teams caused by Team Raven Tail's disqualification when they cheated the previous day, to make the numbers even, the Games officials had the two Fairy Tail teams disband and then merge into one Team Fairy Tail. They are to continue the games with the 35 points earned by Team Fairy Tail A.[30]

Fifth Day, July 6, X791: Grand Magic Game[]

The final day of the Tournament is a battle royale with every team and their members participating in a team battle, known as the "Grand Magic Game". The battleground is the entire city of Crocus where all the teams are already spread out.

The rules are as follows:

  • All members wander the streets and if they encounter members of another guild they are to fight.
  • When a participant loses consciousness or is deemed unable to continue the battle, the opposing team scores one point.
  • Each team must appoint one of their members as team leader, this is kept secret from the rest of the guilds.
  • If the team leader falls, the opposing team gains 5 points.
  • The maximum number of points is 45 points, this implies that every team has a chance of winning should they achieve the maximum score.
  • Moving as a large group, pairs, or separately is up to the individual members of the teams.

Points garnered in this event are added to the overall score gained throughout the Games.

Trivia[]

X791 GMG Stats

Team Statistics according to Sorcerer Magazine reporter Jason.[31]

  • In Volume 32's extra content, Mashima provided the battle statistics for 31 of the 40 X791 contestants in the Grand Magic Games. The stats, however, were provided not from Mashima's point-of-view as the author but from the view point of Sorcerer Magazine reporter Jason, which explains why some stats are missing and why others may be inaccurate. Each contestant was rated by Attack, Defense, Speed, Intelligence, and a special stat that was unique to each contestant. For example, Mirajane Strauss' "special stat" was "Pin-Up." The stats were set on a scale from 1 to 5. Although the scale was supposed to stop at 5, the highest any character could get in any stat was COOL! which was slightly above 5. In Jason's opinion, Jura Neekis had the highest stats out of the 31 contestants and Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki had the lowest.[31]
