The Demons' Parade is the 22nd episode of the Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest anime.
With the help of Aquarius, Team Natsu was revived from their Yokai forms and reunited. Elsewhere Faris and Touka arrive at Whiteout Village only to find Suzaku, who is summoned and requested for help by the Chief of the White Shrine Maidens and confused at a destroyed Whiteout Village during strife times in Elentear due to Selene’s reign; the same Dragon his Guild is targeting. Concurrently at Blackmoon Mountain, Yoko appears and demonstrates the full potential of her Demons' Parade putting Team Natsu on the offensive.
==Summary==
Everyone is surprised by the arrival of Aquarius, who starts bantering with Lucy about her new look. However, Water Magic does not affect her, making Aquarius slap her instead. Just as she throws another slap, Aquarius hugs Lucy, trying to remind her of who she is. Selene laughs, having expected something like this to happen. Yoko reassures her master that her technique will not be broken by something like this.
As she struggles, Lucy wonders where the current is coming from. Aquarius tells her that her water is a stream of memories of their bonds. Events of them together flash through Lucy's mind, making her remember and she starts crying. After this, Aquarius slaps Lucy once more to return her to normal, shocking almost everyone. Lucy wonders why she is feeling pain, but is surprised to find Aquarius here. Yoko is shocked by this outcome. As Lucy gets her bearings, she hugs Aquarius, glad to see her again. While Yoko is in disbelief that her technique was broken, Selene remarks that emotions can surpass Magic and the like.
Meanwhile, Gray apologizes to Happy and Carla as he tries to freeze them. However, they are unaffected, and Wendy states that ice is ineffective against Spirit Power. 
Knowing that his ice won't work, Gray resorts to using physical attacks instead. However, just as Happy and Carla pounce at him, Gray sees them as their normal selves. As Wendy cries, telling him not to hurt them, Gray is reluctant to do so. Just at that moment, Natsu arrives and kicks the two tigers in the face. He, Lucy, and Aquarius are informed of who these Yokai are. Aquarius forces Wendy to drink her water, making her believe that was poison. Wendy uses Raise to heal herself, thereby returning her to normal.
Soon after, she returns the Exceeds back to normal and the group ponders on where Touka, Faris, and Erza are. At the temple, Selene tells a nervous Yoko that she is bored. Yoko quickly summons Erza to the group, who has taken the form of a Spider Woman. Immediately after this, Wendy heals Erza, and the group cheers. Because of how quick this was, Selene grows more bored and commands a terrified Yoko to entertain her personally, which she complies with.
Elsewhere, Faris and Touka have arrived at the Whiteout Village, but find that the place is destroyed and people hurt. They spot a mysterious person standing in the debris.
Faris and Touka question the man if he did this to the village, but Suzaku responds that he was just passing through. Touka senses that he has Magic from Earthland. Just then the Grand Whiteout Chief appears and explains that she was the one who summoned Suzaku. She notes that none of the fallen people were hers, as they are all Tsumeaka. Suzaku is told that they are monsters born from the giant Hands, but that they have not been created in decades. This along with Elentear's unstable Magic Power was caused by Selene's settling into their world. The Grand Whiteout Chief states that this is why she summoned him, in order to defeat the Moon Dragon God, which he accepts.
After sharing their circumstances, Suzaku notes that the task would be easy if it were not for Fairy Tail who has made enemies with his Guild. As they argue about working together, a new wave of much larger Tsumeaka arrive, and the shrine maidens ready themselves to protect the village. The Grand Chief asks for Suzaku's aid, but he declines while sheathing his sword. The Tsumeaka then fall apart, having already been taken care of by the swordsman, impressing everyone. Suzaku is informed that Selene resides at Blackmoon Mountain. He declares that he will cut her down, and should they stand in his way, then Fairy Tail as well.
Meanwhile, Erza is told of what happened to her and the others. The group thinks of what they should do next, suggesting that they should prepare themselves against these foes with strange powers. This is cut short, as Yoko descends from above and announces that she will turn them into uglier Yokai than before. |Wendy Enchants everyone with Spiria so they can fight back. Yoko notes how they have not grasped the true horror of the Demons' Parade as she summons a multitude of Yokai.
Yoko unleashes her Yokai on the group, letting the parade of 100 demons begin. The group takes them head on, Gray remarks how they have a knight who fought 100 monsters during the Grand Magic Games. However, Erza notices that these beings are stronger and warns her friends to be on guard. They soon get overwhelmed, making Natsu and Erza use techniques to take them all down at once.
However, more Yokai appear as they are defeated. Yoko proclaims that the "100" is just a metaphor for a large number, as she can summon an infinite amount. Needing more help, Aquarius reminds Lucy that she can summon her spirits here without their keys. Lucy summons the zodiac spirits to aid them. With this, they gain the upper hand and defeat more as they come. Yoko points out how futile fighting infinity is, making Erza attack her instead. Suddenly, Yoko turns into a paper doll, when another appears and kicks Erza from behind. Erza slashes again, but this turns out to be a decoy as well. Yoko taunts the swordswoman about where the real one is, having created more copies of herself. To her surprise, Erza manages to find her, noting how her voice is different from her paper copies. Erza declares that she will put an end to infinity.
While the others are facing off against the horde of Yokai, Erza charges to attack the summoner once more. Yoko calls for her Yokai to aid her, but Erza quickly cuts them down. Faced against such an opponent, Yoko is forced to use a technique she has not used in a while. At the same time, Natsu sees a Tanuki in a pot with his scarf and chases after it. 
Yoko uses her Spirit Arts on herself to become a Yokai, Inhuman Path: Ohmagatoki, gaining an additional set of arms and swords. She rushes at her opponent and sends a flurry of slashes. She taunts her opponent, saying that she cannot defend herself with only two arms. Erza agrees and Requips into her Thousand Arms Armor, which is equipped with two extra pair of arms. She states that she only ever uses it for the Magnolia Harvest Festival, but thinks this situation would suit it well. Erza gains the upper hand and defeats Yoko. With the summoner down, all the Yokai disappear. The group recuperates and soon notices that Natsu has gone missing.
Meanwhile, the tanuki disappears and Natsu claims his scarf back. While relieved that it is okay, he wonders where the others are. Just then, he meets Suzaku who has found Blackmoon Mountain.
