Fairy Tail Gildarts V.S August Full Fight || Gildarts Clive V.S August Dragneel Complete Fight .

Fairy Tail Gildarts VS August Full Fight || Gildarts Clive VS August Dragneel Complete Fight .
August is sent to the reconstructed Magnolia, where he stands atop the Kardia Cathedral as the last of the Spriggan 12 standing, preparing to eradicate all of the town, his allies included. Before he can do so, Gildarts attacks him from above, and though he blocks the strike, the entire church is destroyed, which leaves August aghast. The two then begin their exchange of blows which, after he dodges several of Gildarts' strikes, culminates in August being struck directly with Crush. As he splits up into many cube-shaped pieces, August calls Gildarts' Magic interesting and then completely reforms himself using the same Magic, allowing him to punch Gildarts some distance away. The Wizard King tells Gildarts that it is impossible for him to be defeat, but he is attacked by an arriving Cana, who proclaims that her father makes the impossible possible.
Upon hearing that the two are parent and child, August smiles, but soon senses that Acnologia has returned to the battlefield and notes that their time has run out.
Gildarts, having also become aware of Acnologia's appearance, goes on to question August regarding Zeref's motives, to which August responds that his majesty acts solely for the sake of mankind's survival. This, in turn, triggers Cana to unleash a devastating attack-in the form of Fairy Glitter-upon the old Mage. However, August emerges from the assault unharmed, expressing his doubtfulness regarding the love between parent and child. He then, rather sadistically, asks Gildarts how he would feel should his daughter be killed before his eyes.
August's threat triggers Gildarts, who threatens his life; the Wizard King easily parries Gildarts' incoming strike and asks him if a parent should love their child. When Gildarts says that they should, August asks him why the Emperor's child wasn't loved and attacks him. He is then attacked by Cana, but dodges her cards, and again asks why the Emperor never loved his child.
August is lauded as the "Wizard King" due to this particular kind of Magic, which he can notably use instantaneously; with it, August can copy, master, and then nullify an opponent's Magic after having given it witness. However, he is unable to copy Holder Magic as one cannot use Holder Magic without physically using the required tools.
August carries a staff akin to a wand in his right hand, surpassing its owner's height, with a long and thin, gnarled wooden haft and a dark, round gemstone fixed upon its tip, partly overgrown by the wood. Apart from using it as a walking staff, the Wizard King uses his staff during combat, as he used it to block the incoming attack of Gildarts Clive, which was powerful enough to destroy Kardia Cathedral. Shortly thereafter August uses his staff to fire an unknown magical attack at Gildarts.

You gotta love August. He didn't take too much time for his character arc, but it was brief and good. In a series that always throws fake deaths for the drama, it's amazing how one character's genuine final moments can make you feel things. He quietly passed away and nobody will ever know about him.

[@seaweed7640]

@Tsuna Dragneel tbh I kind of agree with him, especially in this arc august, mavis, and zerif were really sad and I liked that, but come ooooon gajeel has a sad death and that was a powerful scene, but then he comes back in the most bullshit way so far, juvia sacrifises herself which was also really sad but omg wendy was just passing by conveniently, makarov has one of the most powerful deaths in the series, then omg he's back somehow, ichiya died a noble man but I doubt he actually died at this point, and the fights are just so bs this season, erza destroys a meteor with broken bones except her arm then also wounds a dragon, that's just funny, I really like FT but this season is just so disappointing, not all of it but 80% which sucks

[@kanapken1447]

@@seaweed7640 yeah, like with gajeel I expected him to survive, same with lucy when she rewrote a book because they are main characters. But, Makarov's death was such a powerful scene to me, one of the things that carried this arc for me, and it was actualy believable, because he always wanted to pass on Fairy Tail to his children, and he's getting older, so death in a greatest battle of Fairy Tail, in protection of his children would be perfect and satisfying conclusion of this character. But then it kinda turned he just needed bit of rest and healing, and his all patched up, no explanation! Also, the consequences of his death, how Erza mentioned it when she stopped Natsu and Gray... it kinda loses some meaning.

@Tsuna Dragneel I'm a big fan of Fairy Tail and all (having written over 2500 pages of fan stories myself), but most of them "did" go out in BS ways.

[@darthvader1166]

@Tsuna Dragneel 1. Irene: untouchable for the whole battle, then gets oneshot in a much more powerful Form. 2. August: completely dominates his opponents, then lets himself die because mavis just so happens to be in his line of sight. 3. Dimaria: Ulltear Ex Machina 4. Invel: POWAAA OF FRIENDSHIIIP! 5. Wahl: Seems like Magic Barrier Particles are only effective when they need to be. Is that enough? Sorry, but the Alvarez Arc was the worst Arc of Fairy Tail.

[@mintysausage1771]

I do understand how people can view the defeats of the Spriggans as "BS" and that it could have been handled better but at the same time it isn't nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. Every Spriggan apart from Wahl, Neinhart, Brandish and God Serena was taken on by more than one wizard. Ajeel: Erza and Bisca Jacob: Natsu and Lucy Dimaria: Wendy, Chelia and Ultear Bloodman: Gajeel and Levy Larcade: Sting, Rogue and Kagura August: Gildarts and Cana Irene: Erza and Wendy Invel: Gray and Juvia In a series which revolves around friendship it's good that Mashima emphasised on this by having a majority of the Spriggans require teamwork and strategy to be taken down. But I admit that some of the defeats were a bit iffy. With Ultear saving Chelia and Wendy from Dimaria and providing third origin. Some of that could've been explained better Gajeel eating magic barrier particles because of the carbon that is supposedly in them seemed a bit tacked on. Laxus's red lightning But then again there are some clear reasons as to why other Spriggans were defeated Laxus using runes that he learned from Freed to trick Wahl into disposing of the magic barrier particles within him (This only ruined by the poorly explained red lightning) Invel and Neinhart suffering from absurdly powerful magic, but weak when said magic is compromised Lucy strategising on how to beat Jacob And as for the three most powerful Spriggans, God Serena, Irene and August. Having God Serena be taken down by the single most powerful being in the Fairy Tail universe, and having Irene and August kill themselves. Whilst this is sitting on the fence between poor and great writing. One thing it does do very well is keep their legacy as absurdly powerful wizards cemented. August and Irene were not defeated by any protagonist and although they are now dead I personally don't think that anyone could of beaten them apart from Acnologia. And as for God Serena well that's a bit more iffy. So were the defeat of the Spriggans "BS"? No Could some of them have been handled better? Most definetley

[@altair4045]

@Tsuna Dragneel you're cleary a blind fanboy the spriggan 12 were an absolute joke and the sad thing is they weren't even the worse. Zeref and Acnologia's defeats are some of the most bullshit things I've seen considering how much buildup they had as the end game villains.

The most accurate thing is the Power of Love...

Later on Mavis revealed that they've been stucked with their lives, because zerefs love has dought or not strong enough to take Mavis's life.

@@90CJk or maybe he was imune to that who knows

[@TheEldarie]

I interpret his words "why was his majesty's child not loved?" more general. He was never loved in his entire life. The closest thing to love he got was "friendship" with Branshish. I assume he was somehow cursed because of being a child of two cursed people. The Contradictory Curse means you kill when you care. So a child loved by parents with such curse would immediately die if they were close. He could die even earlier in his mothers womb. Only if August was cursed, that he can't be loved by anyone, he would be immune to Ankhseram black magic. It explains why Precht abandoned him and why he was 90 years old virgin despite high status and power that would attract many ladies.

[@X-Prime123]

It speaks volumes about Gildart's wisdom and perception, not just his power, that he is the only one who recognizes that August stopped his spell willingly based on something he saw. That realization also shocked him, which in turn speaks to his compassion and kindness. He must have instantly figured out that whatever August saw was so important that he gave up his life without finishing his attack, which previously seemed so important. Even Mavis was clueless about that which makes it all the more tragic, seeing how August was her abandoned son. His story is one of the most tragic in the entire series.

If it wasn't for this tragic, peak backstory, I'd be mad we never got to see the King of Magic go all out.

[@dargaard3339]

it was thanks to that trash mest gryder that august didnt negociate with fairy tail. maybe he could have met his mother under different conditions...

[@ENN624]

Combine power of gildarts,markarov and laxus would have killed august easily

[@Shin-gn7ng]

@@ENN624 maybe not since none of them use holder-type magic except Gildart’s prosthetic arm and maybe laxus whose magic came from a lacrima which idk if it counts a an item needed to cast magic Anyway, the fight will depend on if laxus counts as a holder type magic user cause if not then both him and makarov r basically fodders or worse cause they’d actually supply him with more spells to use

[@arcpalace]

Everything else aside, the background story of August hits me in the heart, I think most of us assumed that it’s Larcade - understandably, he looks so similar to Natsu and Zeref, also has the name Dragneel. The revelation it’s August shocked me and the way he perished hits my heart. I read the manga first, when August said the only one that can beat him is probably his mother, I expected Mavis having to use a spell to finish him off. But it ended waaaay different than that. Later I thought, why did I even think of that it was stupid. August’s end was actually very touching, it proved how in-depth his feelings are, deep down, he was always a child longing for his parents’ love. I honestly love how it ended, a nice touch than the usually style of final-ultimate spell beatdown. Sloppy animation whatsoever I don’t care! I’m grateful that it’s animated at all! Some mangas are good yet they couldn’t even thoroughly be animated, it’s sad. P.S No offense, just my opinion

With him vs God Serena being an example. I would've liked to see that fight start to finish

The duality of Irene and August are interesting. Irene was the mother of Erza while August was the son of Mavis and Zeref. Both ended up in the same place and had titles that had actual monarch titles in them, Irene, the Dragon Queen and August, the Wizard King. Both were also seen as the strongest of the 12. Both of them killed themselves as well, as their personal limits were similar. Whereas Irene didn't want to kill her daughter, August didn't want to kill his mother. The only thing is Irene ended up getting part of she wanted in the end, but August got nothing.

I always found it crazy how lucy could have stood a chance against august since he can't copy holder magic which is the main part of celestial magic (things like urano metria arent holder type spells).

Even tho Cana’s Fairy Glitter didn’t work to August I just loved Gildarts reaction when Cana was doing it.

[@minisnakali]

The more I look at it, Cana and August are really similar. The only difference is that August didn't have anyone like Lucy to encourage him to tell his dad who he was, Cana did and she did tell her father but August was never able to that hurts ngl 😥

[@percevalmahpouyas9933]

In a sense, it's better that he never told his father. If Zeref knew, he'd start feeling affection for his child, and August was at risk of dying. He knew that, kinda. But because he never felt the love of a parent, it was still confusing to him as to how Zeref couldn't realize himself that he had a child, and that child was by his side the whole time. That's very deep and complex, and it makes us realize how the love of a parent - or lack thereof - can affect someone's thought process and point of view on life itself.

Weird how no one ever mentions the plot parallels here between Cana and August. They both sought out their unknowing parents and join their guilds but one just ended up old without ever saying a word while the other finally told her father and it ended up being the reason later on Gildarts was able to find out August’s weakness to holder magic. Then August decides to end everyone but as soon as he sees his own parent again he gives himself up for her.
