It doesn't matter where you stand, I'll still destroy you, just like I'll destroy them and the ENTIRE WORLD!
~ Acnologia
I recognize you as my enemy, dragon. And I shall slay you.
~ Acnologia to Igneel.

Acnologia, also known and fearfully reputed as the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, is the overarching antagonist of the Fairy Tail franchise. He is an incredibly powerful Dragon Slayer who can take on the form of a Dragon and is the self-proclaimed Dragon King. He's the arch-nemesis of the Dragon Slayer's parents, Zeref Dragneel and Natsu Dragneel.

He succeeded in killing nearly all dragons and is now hellbent on killing all remaining Dragon Slayers. After Zeref 's demise, he is the last enemy the Dragon Slayer's face. Following his defeat, he has been frequently mentioned in the follow-up manga, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest.

In the anime, he was voiced by Kōsuke Toriumi in Japanese and J. Michael Tatum in English.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]

  • While Acnologia had a tragic past of his home destroyed by the original Acnologia and dragons, it doesn't serve as an excuse because the former doctor chose to take the name of the dragon to make dragons fear him.
  • He destroyed a fishing town who offered human sacrifices to dragons.
  • He committed genocide against dragons.
  • He severely injured Aldoron when he encounters the Wood Dragon God.
  • He defeated Gildarts Clive, destroying the mage’ left arm, leg and parts of his body.
  • He attacked Tenrou Island and Fairy Tail Wizards in it. This causes them to be put in stasis for 7 years.
  • He brutally killed Igneel right in front of Natsu.
  • He attempted to destroy the world for no apparent reason.
  • He killed God Serena in one swipe as part of his crusade to erase all remnants of dragons (referring to dragon slayers who were taught Dragon Slayer Magic by their Dragon foster parents and artificial ones alike).
  • He destroyed Irene Belserion's corpse by stomping on her, while maniacally laughing after her Universe One is dispelled upon her death.
  • He trapped all Dragon Slayers in the ravines of time to extract their Element Magics to stabilize himself, before the Dragon Slayers and their allies defeat him, realizing the error of his ways and concedes defeat.

What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]

  • In his final moments, he gains genuine respect for Natsu. When he vows to have everything for himself, Natsu disagrees and tells him to treasure what he does have before saying that he doesn't need anything else as long as he has his friends by his side. As Acnologia hears these words, he is touched and compliments Natsu by telling him that he is worthy of being king with a smile on his face. He also chuckles a bit when he says this.
  • His death is treated with a bit of sympathy as there is melancholic and calm music when he accepts his fate. This is expanded on in the 100 year quest sequel series, where Natsu himself sheds tears at the thought of Acnologia having his mind put to rest and living happily in the afterlife.

Trivia[]

  • He is set up as a foil to Natsu Dragneel in almost every way, as he is Near Pure Evil in contrast to Natsu who qualifies as Near Pure Good.
