Ep. 49: Acnologia's Past and the Fairy Sphere Trap Plan
Aired on September 15, 2019
Flashbacks reveal Acnologia as a human doctor in a village guarded by another dragon who left to investigate Dragon Slayer magic rumors. The guardian returns mutilated and destroys the settlement with other dragons. In the present, the Dragon Slayers' attacks fail against Acnologia's spirit due to his magic immunity. Lucy proposes trapping his mindless body using Fairy Sphere, the only spell he could not escape. Wizards lure Acnologia to Hargeon, planning to use an abandoned Alvarez ship to exploit his motion sickness. Upon arrival, Acnologia senses the danger and instinctively annihilates the entire fleet, thwarting their strategy.
