Power Progression

Appearance

Natsu is a pink-haired boy with hair that spikes upward “like a hedgehog’s quills.” 22 47

• Spiky pink hair. 22 47
• Frequently appears battle-ready or in the middle of a fight. 22 24 73
• His Fire Dragon Slayer Magic surrounds his attacks with flames. 22 74

Personality

Natsu is blunt, impulsive, and intensely battle-driven. On joining Fairy Tail, he immediately announces that he is searching for Igneel and starts a fight with Gray. 22 He regularly challenges stronger opponents—including Gildarts, Erza, and Aibo—without considering the gap in strength. 25 27 73

He is also straightforward to the point that Aibo considers his claims credible because he has no concealed or pointless thoughts. 22 Despite his recklessness, he is deeply attached to his companions: he becomes discouraged after losing to Aibo, but quickly regains his resolve when encouraged. 75

Abilities & Skills

Fire Dragon Slayer Magic

• Fire Dragon’s Claw — Enhances a flying kick with flames. 74
• Fire resistance — The burning effect of Aibo's light-based beam does not affect him due to his heat resistance. 74
• Dragon Seed — His Fire Dragon Slayer Magic is powered by a fire-attribute Dragon Seed that stores the flames he consumes. 42
