The 7 Dragon Slayers and their powers

Yesterday I said that I had read 3 Mangas, 1. Fairy Tail, 2. Bleach & 3. Naruto. But I'm just going to talk about Fairy tail & Naruto. Since yesterday I've talk about Fairy tail, now I'm going to talk on the powers of the 7 Dragon Slayers powers and maybe later I will do a post on Naruto since I've read the manga yesterday and I've just watch the anime just now. The reason why I'm not going to do a blog post on Bleach is because I find Bleach a bit boring but the story line is good, there's a lot of complicated things about Ichigo's life. Anyway, I'm not a really big fan on Bleach as much as I'm on Naruto & Fairy Tail. So yeahh~ No haters alright? Hahahahaha.

Well, lets start on the Dragon Slayers!

1. Natsu Dragneel; Fire Dragon Slayer Magic

Natsu is the First Generation of Dragon Slayer. He has the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic which is actually a type of Magic that grants the user various characteristics typical to a Fire Dragon. He can has his nails covered in flames, scales that grant protection agains fire and etc. Natsu can produce and control the fire from any parts of his body. The generated flames can be manipulated in a wide variety of ways. The fires only cause hitting and burning damages. The fire that he produced by his type of magic have more heat than a normal one. The fire heat is strictly connected to Natsu's feelings, the more emotional Natsu gets the higher the temperature of the fire, something that is referred to as the 'Flame of Emotion". His powers sometimes heal him too.

How does he keep his magic from running out? (Yes, the dragon slayers can run out of magic if they are lack of energy or food.) He 'top-up' his powers by eating other fire to restore his body to a healty state and regain his strength, he is also immune to most types of fire due to the fact that he can eat/suck the fire-based attacks. BUT, Natsu can't eat his own flame or things that he set on fire by himself. Meaning that if he attack the enemy by throwing fire but the enemy managed to dodge it, he cannot eat the fire that the enemy dodged. (It's like, when you are hungry you eat, then when you are hungry again there is no food, you won't eat your own flesh right?) 

First Genetation Dragon Slayers are those who have been taught how to use their magic by real Dragons. It is harder for them to enter Dragon Force because they need certain conditions. So far, only Natsu is the only one to have entered Dragon Force. 
2. Gajeel Redfox; Iron Dragon Slayer Magic

Gajeel is also the First Generation Dragon Slayer. He has the Iron Dragon Slayer Magic the powers are same as Natsu's its just that Gajeel is Iron that's all. Hahahahaha. Change the above explanation to Gajeel name instead of Natsu and change Fire to Iron. (; 

His iron is both offense and defense. He can create a wide array of weapons from this body to attack the opponents or to cover his body with iron to act it as a defense. Gajeel stated that the metal produced by his magic is stronger than normal iron and is capable of rendering physical assaults useless. 

3. Wendy Marvell; Sky Dragon Slayer Magic

Wendy, she is also the First Generation Dragon Slayer. She incorporate the element of air into their body. However, unlike the other types of Dragon Slayer Magic, her magic is geared more towards healing and support rather then offense. She is really extremely good in healing, having been described as capable of healing wounds inflicted by a real Dragon. Almost completely cure most injuries, nullify the effects of powerful poisons, capable of restoring the body internally externally including a patient's fatigue and body stress, something made more formidable by the fact that healing Magic is long-lost and believed to nonexistent anymore. But, it is very tiring for her to use the powers nor can she use her magic to heal and restore herself. She can also grant support in battle by boosting allies' physical powers. Despite healing and support being its main abilities it is said to possess great destructive power with its offensive spells taking the form of whirlwinds produced by the her. 

She can consume air which is not produced by her to restore her body and vitality. Air seemingly easier to obtain but her power are directly affected by the air surrounding her, meaning that if the air were to be claean, they would become more powerful, but if it were to be heavily polluted, she would become unable to use such Magic as a result. Actually mostly Dragon Slayers Magic are the same, just that different elements. Some has it's own special type of powers like Wendy, she is mostly on the healing and supporting but she can also fight. 

4. Laxus Dreyar; Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic

Laxus is the Second Generation Dragon Slayer. Same as all the First Generation Dragon Slayer. Same as the other Dragon Slayers, his element is Lightning. He is called the Second Generation is because he is being an artificially created Dragon Slayer. The Second Generation Dragon Slayers, are those who obtained their powers by implanting Dragon Lacrima (power/cell, I think) Employing these abilities prompts him to enter Dragon Force. 

Dragon Force is an upgraded version of the normal power they have. The final transformation of their powers is called Said Mode.

5. Cobra; Poison Dragon Slayer

Cobra is also a Second Generation Dragon Slayer. He is capable of freely producing and manipulating poison, manifested in the form of a toxic gas. The gas seems to be 'tangible', and can thus can be used as an effective blunt weapon, inflicting physical damage at the same time infecting them. The poison will start to slowly stealing the movement from the victims' body away, before subsequently killing them.

His magic also allows him to consume external sources of his own element, in his case is poison. Cobra take advantage of his pet companion (the snake), Cubellios and thus has a steady stock of poison. He also can enter Dragon Force. 

6. Rogue Cheney; Shadow Dragon Slayer

He is the Third Generation Dragon Slayer. His magic allows him to turn his body into a shadow that cannot be touched by normal means. He is able to fade himself into shadows to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks. However, if the user is caught while in a tangible form  or by another person in shadow form, they are vulnerable to attack. 

Third Generation Dragon Slayer is those who have not only been taught by Dragon but also have Dragon Lacrima implanted into their body which allow them to freely entering Dragon Force. 

7. Sting Eucliffe; White Slayer Dragon Magic

Sting is a Third Generation Dragon Slayer. He can produce and control light from any part of his body, which can be used in both close and ranged combat. 

I'm not sure how he and Rogue get the sources for their energy or powers. Hmmm......


The real Dragons are like their own parents, when they were young they were abandon and alone. So the Dragons took care of them and teach them the magics that they weld. Each Dragon teach their own powers to the Dragon Slayer. Example: Natsu's Dragon (Igneel) teached him about the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic as Igneel is known as The Fire Dragon. But Igneel was killed one day. Then Natsu joined Fairy Tail. So that's the reason why he gets attached to people and he is a emotional guy.

I really like this manga and have been reading it when there's new chapter of the manga. Even though I used to keep up with the anime I seem to have stopped watching it. Some parts are boring, but I feel like watching it again. Hopefully, I will watch it soon after my retest. ^^

Au revoir,
Nuramirah.
