Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki

Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki (一夜=ヴァンダレイ=寿 Ichiya Vandarei Kotobuki) is the ace of the Blue Pegasus Guild, as well as the leader of The Trimens (composed of Hibiki Lates, Ren Akatsuki and Eve Tearm). He is currently engaged to Anna Heartfilia.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 155, Pages 14-17
==Appearance==
Ichiya is a short and rather stout man with a distinctively big, somewhat rectangular face, a large flat nose which always seems to be shining, and prominent cheekbones. He has dark eyes and thick eyebrows, with a pair of lines pointing towards his nose below them, plus some stubble around his mouth and a prominent chin. His orange hair was initially kept in a wavy style with many curved spikes jutting outwards, with one acting as a fringe on the left side of his face. He seems to possess mildly hairy legs.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 132, Page 10 After seven years from Fairy Tail's incident on Tenrou Island, Ichiya's appearance hasn't changed much, with the only visible difference being his hair, which has gotten longer and is kept in a different hairstyle, with the wavy, spiky strands being kept downwards and covering the sides of his face.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 254, Page 22 Due to his physical features, Ichiya is commonly referred to as an "old man" by others, despite being only 29 during the Allied Forces' assault on the Oración SeisFairy Tail Manga: Chapter 137, Page 14 and 36 as of the Grand Magic Games.
Ichiya's first attire consisted of a white suit with elbow-long sleeves, with distinctive pants ending below his knees in dark hems, adorned by Blue Pegasus’ symbol on its left shoulder, over an orange shirt covered in many dark leaf motifs, possessing sleeves reaching down below his elbows and closed around the neck by a red bow tie, and elegant light shoes paired with light socks. The left part of his chest was adorned by a large flower reminiscent of a rose, and a wide, dark belt was seen hanging over his right hip, with several flasks attacked to it, containing perfumes used for Ichiya's Perfume Magic. After the 7-years time skip, his attire underwent subtle changes, getting visibly simpler, with his short pants losing the dark hems, his jacket seemingly covering a plain shirt which is dark in the lower part, and his shoes being dark.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 254, Page 24
==Personality==
Ichiya is a womanizer like the rest of his group. Unlike them, he is nowhere near as "handsome", though he thinks of himself as such. Regardless, the Trimens call him aniki (older brother) or master and show a great deal of respect for him. However, because of his intense personality, the others in the guild have a very low opinion of him. He is an ardent fan of perfumes, as he often tends to sniff the scent of others, especially woman, which can come off as creepy and invasive.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 155
He and Erza Scarlet apparently have some history together, much to her disgust, and he constantly continues to hit on her, claim she’s his girlfriend and sniff her scent, much to her disgust.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 132, Pages 9-13 Ichiya is also as cowardly as he is vain, and usually prefers to run from a fight. However, there are rare exceptions where he proves to be courageous, such as by going against the Council to save Jellal Fernandes for Erza's sake. Ichiya cares a lot for his friends and comrades, as he showed great dedication to stopping Nirvana for their sake despite being tied up the whole time, expressed great sadness when members of Fairy Tail went missing and spent the entire time searching for them. He has a habit of saying the English word "men" all the time, and he calls Erza "my honey".
Ichiya’s obsession with scent stems from his sensitivity towards fragrances, more recently he’s been taking extra care with his own by being immaculate with cleanliness, due to now falling in love with Anna Heartfilia. He often hangs out with her, taking her to fancy restaurants or a casual stroll and have become romantically involved.Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Manga: Chapter 155, Pages 3-17
==History==
A while back, when he attended a dinner party of guild masters, he fell in love with Erza, who Makarov had brought along, at first sight.
==Synopsis==
===Oración Seis arc===
Ichiya, along with his team, is selected to represent Blue Pegasus for the guild alliance alongside Fairy Tail, Lamia Scale, and Cait Shelter to combat Oración Seis. Before he can help his team explain the situation to the others, including who the Oración Seis are,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 133, Pages 7-12 Ichiya is beaten by Oración Seis member Angel, who has Gemini take his guise.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 133, Pages 16-20
The real Ichiya appears after Oración Seis defeats all the other members of the alliance and kidnaps Wendy Marvell and Happy. Together with Jura, he manages to heal the others' injuries using his Healing Perfume on them.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 135, Pages 7-10
The alliance regroups and splits up to find Oración Seis' base and rescue Wendy and Happy.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 135, Pages 19-20 Ichiya goes off alone and runs into a small group of thugs from one of the Dark Guilds allied with Oración Seis. Rather than fight, Ichiya cowardly begs for his life.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 136, Page 16 He is captured, tied to a pole, and carried off by the Dark Guild, all the while trying to bargain with the thugs to let him go.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 137, Pages 13-15 After Nirvana is activated by Brain and forms into a walking entity, Ichiya is abandoned by his captors and seen hanging from one of the towers on Nirvana, still tied to the pole.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 148, Page 3
When most of the Oración Seis were defeated, Hibiki relayed to everyone present on Nirvana where to find and destroy its power sources.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 157, Page 13 Despite his current condition, Ichiya claims to be able to make it to one of the six Lacrimas.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 157, Page 17 He begins to make en route to the Lacrima nearest to him with great difficulty.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 158, Page 7 Ichiya eventually manages to reach and destroy one of the Lacrima powering Nirvana's legs with his Power Perfume.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 161, Page 14 Ichiya escapes from Nirvana before its destruction and prepares to leave to use the bathroom, but is trapped by a Magic barrier created by Lahar,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 162, Pages 12-13 who had come to arrest Hoteye and Jellal. Ichiya fights alongside the others to save Jellal in an attempt to please Erza, but stops after Erza pleads them to.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 163, Pages 9-13 With their mission complete, Ichiya leads the Trimens back to Blue Pegasus.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 165, Page 4

===Key of the Starry Sky arc===
Ichiya and the Trimens save the Fairy Tail Mages and Lyon from some collapsing ruins after the Fairy Tail members encounter the Reborn Oración Seis and are defeated. They bring them to the Blue Pegasus building, except for Lyon, who they return to Lamia Scale. He wakes Natsu and tells them that neither the Oración Seis members nor the Legionnaires were present during the time of rescue.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 140
Ichiya later appears, along with Christina, as reinforcements for the Fairy Tail Mages, who intend to head to the Infinity Clock and destroy it. He falls from the airship in order to greet the other Mages, but comically falls with his head. Soon after all the Mages successfully board the airship, Ichiya notices that the stern has taken damage and it is revealed that Racer is the one responsible for it. Mirajane throws him along with herself out of the airship in order to stop him, and so the Fairy Tail Mages request from Ichiya to change directions and follow her, despite Ichiya saying its impossible now. Thanks to Elfman, however, Ichiya is able to follow the original route and leave Mirajane to handle Racer.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 145
Later on, the group consisting of Ichiya and Fairy Tail near the Zentopia Church where they are affected by Real Nightmare. Erza, however, uses her ancient weapon to turn them all back to normal. As the Mages reach Zentopia, they are attacked by the Zentopia Guards but the Magic Bomber Christina, commanded by Ichiya, easily prevents their attacks from landing. Byro then sends Kanaloa to stop Ichiya and Fairy Tail from landing. As it jumps on the Bomber, the Mages find themselves unable to get rid of Kanaloa, so Ichiya sends Fairy Tail away while he goes down with Christina and Kanaloa, leaving the Fairy Tail Mages wondering about his fate.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 146
Later, Kanaloa and Ichiya reconcile and catch the Fairy Tail Mages, when they fall from the Infinity Castle. Ichiya explains to Natsu that they are now allies with Legion, and then searches for Lucy along with the other Mages. With the help of Kanaloa and Natsu's sense of smell, Ichiya's group saves Lucy in time.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 150
===Grand Magic Games arc===
Five days before the beginning of the Grand Magic Games, Blue Pegasus hears about Lyon and Jura joining the games under Lamia Scale. Ichiya gets uneasy with the idea but Bob tells him that they should allow their strongest Mages to join the fray as well.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 263, Page 4
	
He and Hibiki are awakened by the announcement of the beginning of the preliminary round during the Grand Magic Games.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 266, Page 7 The Trimens, along with another member that is wearing a rabbit mascot, pass the preliminaries in fifth place.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 267, Page 13 The team chooses to let Eve play for the first event of the games, Hidden.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 268, Page 16 At the end of the event, Eve scores four points for Blue Pegasus, coming in fourth overall in the game.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 270, Page 21 During the subsequent battles, Ichiya doesn't seem to pay attention to the battles,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 272, Page 12 except when it comes to battles of his teammates. During Ren Akatsuki's fight against Araña Webb, Natsu wonders if the members of Blue Pegasus, mainly Ichiya, got strong like Ren, to which Erza replies that Ichiya's abilities since the start have always been exceptional, making him the strongest Mage in Blue Pegasus, which makes Natsu eager to fight Ichiya.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 273, Page 7
Ichiya later participates in the second day's event, Chariot and was initially in second place after Kurohebi of Team Raven Tail. However, he fails to keep his position and is overtaken by Bacchus of Team Quatro Cerberus, Risley of Team Mermaid Heel and Yuka of Team Lamia Scale, ultimately causing him to fall to fifth place, earning his team 3 points.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 276, Pages 5-10 It is later revealed that reserve member Jenny Realight took his place in the team as the competition portion had been physically exhausting for him.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 279, Page 12
Jenny loses her battle against Mirajane Strauss,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 279, Page 21 and Ichiya, recovered, comes back during the MPF event, telling Eve and Ren to trust Hibiki, that was competing in the event.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 285, Page 8
In the Battle Portion of the third day, Eve is defeated by Rufus Lore in the second match. Hibiki, Ren, and Ichiya, worried about their team's position, comment about their fall in the ranking. However, Ichiya replies saying not to worry because they still have the unnamed rabbit-costumed person as their secret weapon, and emphasizes saying it twice. Hibiki and Ren thank Ichiya for the lesson, but get worried because they don't know the person's identity, thinking that he could not be a member of the Guild, which is against the Games' rules.Fairy Tail Manga:Chapter 286, Page 7
After the Naval Battle event is completed, the tag teams battles get started, with the formation of the new Team Fairy Tail. Ichiya is seen alongside the unnamed rabbit-costumed Mage waiting sternly for the battles to commence.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 292, Page 16
Later, Ichiya and the Rabbit enter the battle field, facing the Quatro Cerberus duo - Bacchus and Rocker. Before the battle starts, the Rabbit, Ichiya's secret weapon, is revealed to be Nichiya, utterly shocking the audience. Suddenly, Bacchus charges at Nichiya, knocking him out with a single palm strike.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 293, Page 2-6
Seeing this, Ichiya is surprised, having thought that Nichiya would possess the same power as him due to Nichiya and him having the same appearance. As Bacchus and Rocker land multiple blows on him, a sad Ichiya realizes Nichiya's heroic actions. With these thoughts, Ichiya is determined to let his comrade smell the perfume of victory.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 293, Page 6-9
Ichiya uses his Perfume Magic, enhancing his muscles. He then attacks with his Smiling Smash, punching both of his opponents who are, as a result, completely knocked out at the same time. Everyone in the arena is impressed by Ichiya's strength. After doing his usual poses, he heads to Nichiya, taking him in his arms and asking him if he is gravely injured. Nichiya replies that he is just not feeling too manly.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 293, Pages 10-12 Ichiya, standing in front of his team, watches as the battle reaches its climax with Natsu easily overpowering Sabertooth's Sting and Rogue.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 296, Page 14 When the match ends with Natsu victorious, Ichiya listens with a smile on his face as the announcers declare that tomorrow's event will have every team member participating. Hearing this and Bob's new goal to take out Fairy Tail, Ichiya asks Natsu to have some fun with him.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 297, Pages 3-4
After the third day of the Grand Magic Games ends, Ichiya is seen with the Trimens in Ryuzetsu Land flirting with Erza and Lucy. Erza scolds them one by one, except for Ichiya, who begs for scolding.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 298, Pages 9-10 He then relaxes while Natsu is busy eating a meal.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 298, Page 12 After relaxing, he and Natsu rush to the pool, Bisca warns him to think about his age as the attitude he displays is immature. When he assures her, he slips and slides around, passing Jellal and Erza forcing them to duck in the water.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 298, Pages 15-16
On the last day of the Grand Magic Games, Ichiya is seen alongside Hibiki, Ren, Eve and Jenny (replacing Nichiya) proudly entering the Domus Flau to compete in the final event.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 303, Page 13
As the announcers explain the rules of the event, Ichiya is shown with the rest of his team.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 304, Page:6 As his teammates are defeated one by one, Ichiya tells them that he will handle the rest, although only moments later, he is defeated by Jura Neekis.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 305, Page 11 In the end, Team Fairy Tail is declared the victor of the games, for which Ichiya and the rest of the Trimens congratulate them, Ichiya raising his hand with a happy expression on his face in doing so.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 323, Pages 2-3
Ichiya, and the members of every other Guild who took part in the Grand Magic Games, is summoned by Toma E. Fiore, Fiore's King, and is told that 10,000 Dragons will attack Fiore, and that they have prepared to execute a plan called the Eclipse Plan in order to eradicate the Dragons. The King then states, however, that even if they use the Eclipse Cannon, up to several hundred Dragons may be left alive, and he asks the Mages go band together and protect Fiore. As the Mages around him declare, in unison, that they'll protect Fiore, Ichiya strikes a pose. Ichiya then remarks on the beauty of such a large-scale alliance, with Nichiya adding on that such a thing is a spectacular perfume.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 325, Pages 12-16
Ichiya and his group move out to their instructed position in Crocus and await the Dragons arrival. Before long, he and the rest of the Blue Pegasus guild are approached by a humongous Dragon, and, as the rest of his guild become nervous in its presence, Ichiya tells them not to back down, rather, show it the power of their guild.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 328, Page 17 However, the guild seem to struggle against the huge beast, and, seeing their strategy to use sex appeal against it fail, Ichiya decides to unleash one of his secret perfumes, opening one of his vials to release a horrible stench that almost knocks out the guild. Revealing it to be an odour taken directly from his armpits, Ichiya is then left in disbelief when the Dragon reveals that it has no nose, and is therefore unaffected by the attack. Before the Dragon can launch a counterattack though, Cobra drops down from above, slamming the reptile into the ground. Hearing Cobra call him a freak show and demand that he get out of the way, Ichiya becomes dismayed.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 330, Pages 9-12
Several days after the destruction of the Eclipse Gate and the defeat of the Dragons, Ichiya and all the other Mages who helped protect Crocus are invited to a banquet celebrating their victory; with everyone arriving, Ichiya greets Bacchus with a bow. Ichiya then grabs a microphone and demands that the band play "that song" in B Flat much to their confusion.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 338, Pages 4-5 Later, with Mermaid Heel, Sabertooth, and Fairy Tail fighting over which of them Yukino Agria will join, Ichiya and Team Blue Pegasus join the argument, with Ichiya commenting that Yukino has a beautiful, forlorn perfume. With the rest of the guilds joining the fray, a brawl soon starts, during which Ichiya dodges much of the roughhousing and strikes a pose.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 338, Pages 15-17
===Eclipse Celestial Spirits arc===
Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Happy and their new friend Kemokemo visit Blue Pegasus as a part of the Wizard Exchange Program. Ichiya then gets the Fairy Tail Mages dressed in perfect outfits and readies them for hosting the clients. After Kemokemo and Natsu starts a quarrel with two ladies, Ichiya goes up to solve it just to be caught in Kemokemo's flame blast. He then asks the Mages to leave.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 223
In an unknown location, Ichiya completes his perfect perfume, the Handsome Perfume. Unknowingly, Ichiya spills some the perfume in the sewers, causing it to reach Magnolia. This starts an Ichiya plague in the town, turning nearly the entire town. After the plague was stopped, the perfume was banned by the Council and Ichiya imprisoned for his actions.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 226
===Tartaros arc===
Ichiya and the Trimens, alongside Jenny, fly out in Christina, aiming to destroy the Face bombs around Fiore. However, as Magic is drained from Earth Land, Christina begins to fall. Just then, a voice calls out to them, asking them to move aside; a figure soon appearing and destroying a nearby Face. Upon a closer look, Blue Pegasus realizes that the Sky Dragon Grandeeney has returned.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 412, Pages 15-19
===Alvarez arc===
Ichiya heads to Pegasus Village hot springs to meet up with the Fairy Tail members currently relaxing there, and tells them that Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe have joined Blue Pegasus, something which angers Gajeel who wanted to reveal the information himself. Ichiya accidentally flashes Elfman, who subsequently punches him into Gajeel, the latter being sent flying to the women's side of the hot springs.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 443, Pages 1-6
Later, Ichiya watches as Gajeel and Elfman burst into the guild to take back Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe, but tries to reprimand them and is ignored; the same occurs when Lisanna, Cana, Mirajane and Levy storm in and demand the Christina; and again when Laxus declares that they're going to go to the Alvarez Empire.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 461, Pages 2-3 He later accompanies the group on the Christina to save Makarov as well as Natsu's group from Ajeel Raml, a member of the Alvarez Empire's Spriggan 12 sent to eliminate them. He corrects Levy when she says it's her ship, saying it's actually his,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 447, Page 12 and after successfully saving the group, when Makarov says that Fairy Tail is the best family, Ichiya points out that he does not belong in that family,Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 447, Page 19 and tries to stop him from bawling on the ship, only to be ignored. When they get back to Magnolia, Ichiya is left behind as everyone runs off to the guild, his complaints still being brushed to the side. He then subsequently begins performing maintenance and refueling on the Christina.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 461, Pages 3-4
A week after commencing the refueling and repair on the Christina, Ichiya saves the Thunder God Tribe from certain death at the hands of Wall Eehto of the Spriggan 12 by blasting the Machias and his Weakness Soldiers with lightning, tricking the three into thinking Laxus had appeared.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 459, Pages 21-22 When questioned as to why he is there by Bickslow and Evergreen, Ichiya wonders aloud how they could forget their cruel treatment of him and is then analyzed by Wall's Weakness to see if there are any machines he could construct to deal with him, but Ichiya's overwhelming number of weaknesses prevents Wall from doing so; Ichiya tells the Thunder Gods just after that they were part of Blue Pegasus, and are thus his family. To take down Wall, Ichiya releases his Poison Perfume, but that is rendered ineffective due to Wall's lack of a nose, and he is punched aside by the Machias.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 460, Pages 2-6
To counter Wall, Ichiya uses his Justice Thunder Men to exploit the machine's conductibility of electricity, but Wall absorbs the electricity with his Voltex Charge and transforms into a more dangerous, powerful state, releasing a shockwave as he does so that knocks Ichiya out.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 460, Pages 7-10 Ichiya, however, rises and proceeds to destroy Wall's body via a tag-team attack with Fried.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 460, Pages 17-18 After the battle, Ichiya reminds the Thunder Gods of his poor treatment at the hands of Fairy Tail during the last week, including an instance where he was left all alone in the middle of Magnolia; Fried tells him that he could've gone home, but Ichiya says he needed to fix and refuel the Christina, and angrily stomps on Wall's detached head whilst pouting. The head, surprisingly, opens its mouth and explodes right underneath Ichiya, but he is saved by the Thunder God Tribe, who remark that they are even now, and that they saved Ichiya because he is their family too; such an act brings him to tears.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 461, Pages 2-8
Not much later, to save Fairy Tail from destruction at the hands of the real Wall Eehto's cannon blast, Ichiya places the Christina into the line of fire. Though the ship is destroyed and Ichiya is badly wounded, he activates the Fiore Communications Network feature of the ship and calls out to all the other major guilds of Fiore to come assist Fairy Tail in the war against Alvarez.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 461, Pages 17-19 Afterwards, Ichiya is brought to the guild, heavily bandaged, and lays sleeping in the infirmary.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 462, Page 4 Later, the heavily bandaged Ichiya eavesdrops on Lucy's conversation with Fried about the conditions of Natsu, Evergreen and Bickslow, and wonders if he has been forgotten by them. Mere moments later, when Fried voices despondent concerns about Laxus overexerting himself, Ichiya merely listens in silence.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 471, Pages 4-5

==Magic and Abilities==
Perfume Magic ( Parufamu Majikku): Ichiya uses magical perfume as his spells. These perfumes have a myriad of effects that he can exploit at his disposal. This seems to be pretty useful, but with the exception of Power Perfume, most of his spells are supportive and passive. Erza has said he is a powerful Mage, of the "well-to-do" sort.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 132, Page 11
*Pain Relieving Perfume (痛み止め Itamidome Parufamu): A perfume that Ichiya uses to heal his own wounds, as well and others around him that also smell the perfume. It was also described to have a magnificent fragrance. It is apparently capable of aid to actual wounds and cure poisons, but Cubellios' venom reacted violently to it.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 135, Page 10-12
*Pain Perfume: A perfume originally used by Gemini on Jura; still, it is almost certain that Ichiya can use it too. This perfume makes his opponent unable to fight by causing intense pain and taking away their will to battle.Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 53Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 133, Page 16
*Power Perfume (力の Chikara no Parufamu): A perfume that causes Ichiya to greatly increase his muscles' structure.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 161, Page 1

**Enhanced Speed: While under the effects of this perfume, Ichiya's speed dramatically increases, enabling them to dodge his opponent's attacks.
*Armpit Perfume (ワキの Waki no Parufamu): A very stinky perfume that can stun and disgust the opponent. Ichiya keeps this hidden due to its repulsive nature.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 330, Pages 8-9
*Handsome Perfume (イケメン薬 Ikemengusuri): A perfume that Ichiya created himself to make people handsome. Instead, the perfume infects the target, turning their face into Ichiya's face. Once infected, a person will seek out a non-infected person and try to smell them. The virus can be spread when an infected smells a non-infected person. The virus can be cured with a Deodorant Lacrima. The spell is now banned in Fiore.Fairy Tail Manga: Omake, Fairy Tail of the Dead Meeeeeeeeen, Page 10Fairy Tail Manga: Omake, Fairy Tail of the Dead Meeeeeeeeen, Pages 38-39
*Poison Perfume (毒のパルファム Doku no Parufamu): A perfume which poisons the opponent.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 460, Pages 5

Additionally, if he shoves the vials of Thunder Perfume into his nostrils and directly inhales the perfume, the power of his electric attacks vastly increases.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 460, Pages 7-8
**Justice Thunder Men ( Jasutīsu Sandā Meeen): After directly inhaling two vials of Thunder Perfume, Ichiya is able to release a gigantic bolt of electricity from his fingers at his target; the effects of the move are implied to be extremely destructive, especially to metallic beings, but the only known recipient of the attack, Wall Eehto, negated the damage.
Enhanced Smell: Ichiya possesses a remarkable sense of smell, probably on par (if not greater) with that a Dragon Slayer's, being able to tell whether a Mage has good or rare Magic simply by their smell.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 133, Page 6
Enhanced Durability: In spite of his small stature, Ichiya has proven himself to be quite resilient to physical punishment: he was shown capable of remaining conscious while suffering a heavy beating from two opponents, enduring both the blows from Rocker's Drill 'n Rock and, most importantly, the magically-enhanced palm strikes from the melee specialist Bacchus, and subsequently managed to fight back.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 293, Pages 7-12
Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Due to Ichiya's primary Magic being a supportive type Perfume Magic, Ichiya has been seen to employ hand-to-hand combat in battles. He uses this means of fighting while being enhanced by his Power Perfume in which he become skillful enough to defeat Bacchus in melee combat.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 293, Page 11
Dancing Specialist: While never openly shown, Ichiya seems to be a capable dancer, having defeated Vijeeter Ecor, someone specializing in dance and even employing it as the medium for his main Magic, in a dance battle which took place during the Grand Magic Games, several years prior to X791.Fairy Tail Manga: Chapter 272, Cover
