Mystogan

**Mystogan** (ミストガン *Misutogan*), whose real name is **Jellal** (ジェラール *Jerāru*),[1] is a former S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail[3] and the current King of Edolas. He was also considered the most mysterious member of the guild, as he did not show himself, or his face, at all.[4] He is the Edolas counterpart of Jellal Fernandes.[5]

## Appearance

Being the Edolascounterpart of Jellal Fernandes, Mystogan possesses the same dark eyes, blue hair and tattoo on the right side of his face.[6] He wears a dark blue cloak and his arms and legs are mostly covered in bandages. During his time with Fairy Tail, he wore a dark blue bandana with a silver forehead protector, and a green mask that obscured the bottom half of his face to hide his identity from his guildmates.[7] During the series, however, the design of his mask appears to change frequently. He usually carries his Magic Staves on his back, which are held by a dark green strap going across his main body.[8]

## Personality

Mystogan was a reclusive member of the Fairy Tail Guild. Laxus Dreyar has stated that he knew what Mystogan looks like and what may be his true name, but when Laxus says "Another-", he is cut off by Mystogan before he could finish.[9] He didn't want people to see his face and so he hid his identity, especially from Erza; he knew that his face would remind her of Jellal Fernandes and he wanted to spare her that pain.[10] He seems to be very knowledgeable about the world of Edolas as he instructed the to do specific tasks for it.

Many of the guild members questioned who he really is, citing him as something of an enigma; however, Wendy states that he is a very kind person. Makarov states that Mystogan doesn't talk much. Despite his reclusive nature, Mystogan is extremely loyal to Fairy Tail and its guild members, and is willing to go to great lengths to protect it. He single-handedly took down all of Phantom Lord's sub-divisions during the guild war and directly confronted Laxus when the latter attempted to forcibly take control of the guild.[11][12] Mystogan gets along very well with Panther Lily due to Panther Lily saving him from death when he was young. He wished for Panther Lily to attain happiness when he reversed the Anima rather than play the "villain".[13]

## Magic and Abilities

**Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant**: Mystogan demonstrated considerable physical combat skills, being able to fight Natsu on relatively equal, if not greater, terms during their extremely brief brawl.[43]

**Enhanced Durability**: Mystogan demonstrated great physical resistance, being able to take a blast from the Dorma Anim without receiving visible damage or injury. He was also able to receive a direct hit from a powerful lightning attack by Laxus without receiving a single injury.[44]

## Former Magic & Abilities

**Magic Staves**: Mystogan, like the rest of the people in Edolas, does not actually have innate magical abilities. Instead, he employed several Magic Staves that allowed him to use Magic abilities similar to an incredibly powerful Mage, something that granted him the S-Class rank.

* **Sleep Magic** (眠りの魔法 *Nemuri no Mahō*): With the aid of his staves, Mystogan could cast an extremely powerful Sleep spell, capable of putting to sleep almost the entirety of Fairy Tail, including the likes of Erza and Mirajane, although the latter was weakened at the time.[45]

* **Skyscraper** (摩天楼 *Matenrō*): Mystogan first plants his five staves into the ground, creating the illusion that the enemy is propelled several hundred meters into the air. The enemy is then tied up with four belts and a Demon breaks through the sky, reaching to attack the enemy. This Magic is used to break down the mind of the enemy or distract them long enough to prepare another attack.[46]

* **Five Layered Magic Circle: Sacred Song** (五重魔法陣 御神楽, *Gojūmahōjin: Mikagura*): Mystogan creates several Magic circles covered in runes above his enemy, which release a concentrated beam of Magic Power that damages the enemy.[47]

* **Three Layered Magic Circle: Mirror Water** (三重魔法陣 鏡水, *Sanjūmahōjin: Kyōsui*): Mystogan uses several Magic staves to cast a Magic circle that can reflect spells back to the caster.[48]

* **Air Magic** (空気魔法 *Kūki Mahō*): Mystogan is able to employ this type of Magic, mainly for supportive purposes, being capable of levitating and of turning his body into mist, living up to his alias in Earth Land.[49]

* **Mist Body**: Mystogan is able to transform his body into mist that can move around freely at high speed, negating both physical and magical attacks.[50] (Unnamed)

**Anima** (アニマー *Animâ*): Mystogan used this Magic by using a special machine in the Anima Chamber, which creates an inter-dimensional gate that opens in the sky and transfers everything from the part of Earth Land where it appeared to another world called Edolas. The Anima can't absorb those who use Dragon Slayer Magic. Mystogan was able to suppress Anima using his staves.[51]

**Ground Shattering Wave**: Another spell which Mystogan can seemingly perform through the use of some hand signs, in which multiple purple waves of energy appear from the ground and move to envelop the target. However, the spell failed, as Laxus Dreyar avoided it through the use of his lightning form.[52]

## Equipment

**Magic Staves**: Mystogan uses five staves which can be used to fight on the same level of very powerful S-Class Mages like Laxus.[9]

**X-Balls** (エクスボール *Ekusu Bōru*): Mystogan gave Gajeel and Lucy some x-balls that allow them to use Magic in Edolas.[30]

**Bird/Legion**: In Edolas, Mystogan was seen mounting an unnamed Bird (most likely his own) in the manga,[53] and a white Legion in the anime.[54]

## TMNT X Pokemon

Mystogan is a wanderer yet he helps the Turtles from time to time. Such as when they have to save Splinter from Rat King's control and stopping Dogpound from exploding the sewers

## Quotes

* (To Porlyusica) *"I want to believe in a sacred light that encompasses the rage and sadness... A sacred light that guides all things."*[60]
* (To Erza Scarlet) *"Erza... I wanted you, at least... Not to see this face... I am not Jellal. I know him, but he is not me. I'm sorry. I leave the rest to you."*[10]
* (To Panther Lily) *"The citizens are all in panic. There's no one who could adapt to such a rapid change in the world. That's precisely why they need a new leader now. A new King for the new world. A King who can lead a nation in bondage to fear and terror to happiness. It's impossible for me, as I haven't walked the paths of this world and neither do I have right. In order to calm the panicked masses, we need a **villain** and a **hero**. The person who exposes the evil that's plunged this world into the chaos, and execute it, becomes the hero. That hero can unite the people and become King. I, who've rebelled against the King of Edolas and stolen all of this world's Magic Power, am the "villain". And you, who can bring harmony out of the prejudice and misunderstanding between races, would make an appropriate "hero". You must execute me, as the traitor who destroyed this world and then become the King this world."*[38]
* (To the citizens of Edolas) *"Even though we lack Magic Power... we humans will continue to live on!"*[61]
