Top 10 Saddest Moments of the Fairy Tail Anime

The fact that she felt she had done nothing, that her life was only worth a minute, and that she felt worthless and didn't deserve to live anymore made me cry for so long.

In that one minute, she saved so many people, including Gray. She caused them to see their future and didn't die because they knew what they had to avoid. The fact that she felt so worthless made me cry so much.

When I saw Gray crying when he realized Ultear had sacrificed herself so he could live, he felt guilty because he thought he was always the cause of people's deaths. He felt it was his fault, and he didn't like that people always sacrificed themselves for him to live. This made me cry so much I couldn't even take it. I just burst into tears. I felt I could relate to both of them a lot. They have both gone through so much, and I can really relate to them.

Man, imagine losing a parent twice, especially after defeating him in a strong fight.

If you know Gray's full story, you cannot help but cry on this one.

For me, it's the saddest moment of the whole series.

Igneel, the dragon who raised Natsu, got out of Natsu's body to stop Face and fight Acnologia. However, he got killed by Acnologia, and Natsu was forced to watch his death without being able to do anything.

The sad thing is that Natsu was looking for him after he got lost and had so many things to talk with him about.

While Lucy was fighting with all of Tartaros, she had to break Aquarius' key to defeat them and save her friends from Alegria.

I cried a lot during this one, and the funny thing is that Aquarius is my sign.

Future Rogue attempted to kill Present Lucy, but Future Lucy jumped in front of her and took the attack instead. Happy's speech was so emotional.

Honestly, they were such a good couple. I cried so much when they died. Zeref was so happy, and Mavis wanted to go with him! It's so sad I keep crying even though I know what happens!

Mavis and Zeref had known each other for more than 100 years and died so young in their relationship. It's heartbreaking that they would just die at a point where they had just started. Love Mavis and Zeref, real OGs.

After the 7-year time skip, Lucy looked for her father but found out that he had died 3 months earlier.

Why is Fairy Tail Zero so underrated when it comes to feels? The whole arc was feels.

This is the only time in the entire anime I cried.

Loke was definitely one of my favorite anime characters at the time. I got extremely emotional when he was dying. I teared up a lot and rewatched this scene at least five times.

Honestly, I think a lot of these moments are sadder than Ultear's sacrifice. Nightmares' death made me cry. In my opinion, Aquarius' key being broken was probably the one that made me cry the most. Loke x Lucy forever.

When Wendy and Sherria fight DiMaria, Sherria unlocks her third origin with the help of the Ultear illusion. DiMaria had a god soul, so Sherria sacrificed her magic (the price to pay for the third origin) and used god slayer magic on DiMaria to defeat her.

It was so sad for me, especially when she said, "Magic can't hold a candle to LOVE!" What an incredible shipper! (lol)

When Levy saves him, it is probably my favorite Gale scene of all time. It was sad because I thought they were both going to die. It almost gave me a heart attack.

A very emotional fight. Although not sad, this fight still gave me chills. Mystogan and Natsu are not really fighting. Natsu is trying to make Mystogan look strong in front of the people of Edolas. When they gave that last punch at the end, it was the best part.

This is only one of the many times I've had my heart rent while watching the series, but this is the one that's affected me the most.
