This page lists the Fairy Tail series's villainous dark guilds, which are all criminal organizations that act without the council's consent.


Oración Seis[]

One of the three most powerful dark guilds that make up the Balam Alliance, which unites the dark guilds. Though it is the smallest guild in the series, comprised of only six members, it lives up to its strength, forcing Fairy Tail to team up with three other official guilds just to fight it. This guild seeks Nirvana, an ancient magic rumored to switch light with darkness.

Cquote2

  • Arc Villain: An unusual one, as he was the Bigger Bad throughout the previous arcs, but he never shows up after Tenrou Island since he gets killed.
    • Bigger Bad: Of half of the pre-Time Skip arcs. Jellal becoming Brainwashed and Crazy? All part of his plan to create a distraction to allow him to find one of the keys to unseal Zeref. Deloria's attempted revival on Garuna Island? It would have failed outright without Ultear, leader of his Quirky Miniboss Squad. Oración Seis? Brain formed it while he was Jellal's mentor. He also played a part in Ultear's Start of Darkness, if not being outright responsible for it.
      • Big Bad: Seems to be a contender for this. Subverted at the end of the Tenrou Island Arc, where it's implied that Zeref killed him.
  • Badass
Cquote1

 "The mistakes people make will eventually be labeled as experience, but with true mistakes there will be no experience gained. Because the mistake you made taking me on as your opponent will leave you no future."

Cquote1

Magic/Weapons:Gravity Magic, Black Hole

Cquote2

Cquote1

 "Not even a weed remains in the roads he's walked... that's the level of magic user he is".

Cquote2
  • Duel Boss: Once Gildarts shows up, everyone clears out to give them room to do battle. Natsu wants to stay and watch, but they drag him off anyway.
    • Good Old Fisticuffs: Said battle quickly devolves into this for both Bluenote and Gildarts. Until Azuma takes control of the Tenrou Tree, that is.
  • Evil Counterpart: For Gildarts.
  • Face Framed in Shadow: Until he steps in.
  • Gag Nose
  • Gonk: His face makes him look similar to a monkey.
  • Gravity Master
  • Oh Crap: When he realizes Gildarts is strong enough to pose an actual threat to him.
    • He has an even more epic one when he uses his black hole move against Gildarts and finds that, not only does it not affect Gildarts, but Gildarts uses his magic to crush it before promptly handing Bluenote's ass to him.
  • One-Man Army: According to his reputation.
  • The Worf Effect: Yes, Gildarts is said to be the strongest mage in Fairy Tail, and yes, Gildarts is Badass, but Bluenote was defeated in one hit once Gildarts' magic was returned. And this was supposedly when Bluenote "stopped playing around".
    • To be fair Bluenote's ultimate move was a freaking black hole. If it wasn't Gildarts, any other mage that went against him would be long dead. Also, keep in mind none of the other Fairy Tail members could touch him, not even Cana after she received Fairy Glitter.

Seven Kin of Purgatory[]

A group of mages who were all taught by Hades to learn a form of Lost Magic, ancient spells that are rarely practiced out of fear of their power.


  • Hoist By Their Own Petards: Almost all of the Kin were defeated as a result of having their own magic turned against them in one way or another. Zancrow by his flames, Caprico by his body snatching, Kain by his doll, Meredy by her sensory link, Azuma by his decision to use the Tenrou Tree's magic, and Rustyrose by defeating Elfman and allowing him to be used as Bickslow's trump card. Even Ultear's defeat was a result of having helped melt Ur's ice back in the Galuna Island arc.
  • Lost Magic: All of them use some kind of Lost Magic, which are stated by Hades to be the magics closest to the source of magic.
  • Quirky Miniboss Squad
  • Tyke Bomb: All of them are said to have been raised and trained by Hades himself, with Caprico as the exception.

Ultear Milkovich[]

For more information, see Fairy Tail

Azuma[]

Magic/Weapons:Great Tree Arc

Magic/Weapons:Great Tree Arc

A man who uses the Great Tree Arc to control trees and harness the power of magic hidden deep within the earth.

Cquote1

 Voiced by: Hiroshi Shirokuma (JP)

Cquote2

  • Ambiguously Brown
  • Anti-Villain: Type 1, compared to the other six [1].
  • Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Becomes a replacement Tenrou Tree before Ultear restores the old one.
  • Badass: While the rest of the Kin were defeated by non-S Class mages, Azuma fights two of them and is beaten by one. However it should be noted with the exception of Meredy and Ultear it took multiple of said non S-class mages
  • Blood Knight
  • Death Seeker: Possibly. He seems just a smidge too happy Erza beat him.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: During his fight with Erza, he admitted that he's uncomfortable with the methods of his compatriots, and the only reason he's doing so here is that he was ordered to by Master Hades.
  • Expy: Possesses a strong resemblance to Amarant/Salamander Coral from Final Fantasy IX.
  • Facial Markings: A stripe from the top of his forehead to the middle of his left cheek.
  • Foe Yay: With Mirajane and Erza.
  • Graceful Loser: He calls the members of Fairy Tail "magnificent," openly admiring their bonds and the strength of their conviction, when he is defeated by Erza.
  • Green Thumb: His brand of Lost Magic: the Great Tree Arc. He uses it to take control of the magical power of Tenrou Island through the Tenrou Tree, which had given Fairy Tail immortality and a boost to their magic.
    • Having a Blast: The explosions shown as his primary attacks are created by condensing the magic of the earth into the fruit of his trees.
    • When Trees Attack
  • Hero-Killer: He doesn't really want to kill anyone, but fits the trope otherwise. In just this arc he defeated Wendy, Mest, Pantherlily, Charle, Lisanna, Mirajane while she was using Satan Soul[2] , and took a full-powered Erza to the limit.
  • My Master, Right or Wrong
  • Pragmatic Villainy: He just wants a good fight, and will do whatever it takes to get it.
    • Kick the Dog: He places a timed explosion on Lisanna, saying that Mirajane has that long to defeat him before her sister dies.
    • Pet the Dog: Very slight, and directed at the same people he had a Kick the Dog moment with(!), but he shows some sadness/regret when he sees Lisanna cry over Mirajane's body. He then leaves them instead of finishing them off.
  • Punch Clock Villain: Unlike several of the other Kin, Azuma doesn't have a bone to pick with any of the Fairy Tail mages besides being told to attack them by Hades and fighting strong people.
  • Shirtless Scene
  • The Stoic
  • Worthy Opponent: He considers Erza his.

Rustyrose[]

Magic/Weapons:Arc Of Embodiment

Magic/Weapons:Arc Of Embodiment

A poetic young man who uses the Arc of Embodiment to create any object he desires from his imagination.

Cquote1

 Voiced by: Kazuma Horie (JP)

Cquote2

  • Anime Hair: Good lord, look at it.
  • Arrogant Mage Guy: Thinks of his magic as invincible and this attitude gets worse after he beats Elfman and Evergreen, leading him to think that all of Fairy Tail is weak.
  • Ass Pull: A very rare in-universe version that is both enforced and Played for Drama. By definition, his powers are this: allowing him to fight with literally anything he can imagine, from pegasus shoes to impenetrable shields to giant towers of magical energy and even glasses without any need for resources or with any noticeable side-effects. Because there's no obvious way to counter someone who can fight with anything he can, Evergreen and Elfman are utterly curb stomped by him once he stops playing with them and it takes some seriously creative uses of magic for the guild to finally beat him.
  • Bishonen
  • Evil Counterpart: Arguably, to Fried. Both are stoic bishonen with a nigh-unbeatable power (and understandable pride in such) with EPIC hair. But while Fried is quiet and mostly a nice guy when he's not on the attack, Rustyrose is a douche who loves to talk.
  • Hero-Killer
  • Informed Flaw: We're told there are serious side-effects of his incredibly powerful magic... we never see what those side effects are, nor are we even told what they are, and they don't stop him kicking serious amounts of ass.
  • Jerkass
  • Large Ham: Even while being The Stoic, he acts highly overdramatic. Once he becomes less stoic, it gets worse.
  • Nice Shoes
  • Oh Crap: When he winds up fighting both Fried and Bickslow and experiences fear for the first time. It doesn't last long though, as he uses the fear as more inspiration for his powers.
    • He has an even more epic one when, once Asuma restored the magical power of Fairy Tail, he gets his ass handed to him by the combined effort of Fried, Bickslow, Lisanna and Elfman
  • Personality Powers
  • Psychotic Smirk: Once he starts being Not So Stoic.
  • Reality Warper: Through his brand of Lost Magic, the Arc of Embodiment, which allows him to summon just about anything from his imagination.
  • Scary Shiny Glasses: Turns out that they make him immune to Evergreen's petrification powers.
  • Shipper on Deck: He seems to be one for Elfman and Evergreen in a very weird, twisted sort of way.
  • Smug Snake: So utterly arrogant and so utterly despicable.
  • Squishy Wizard: His body isn't particularly strong nor is he particularly agile. Once his magic is disrupted long enough and one gets past the defenses he's layered himself with, he's out.
  • The Stoic
    • Not So Stoic: He laughs crazily at the prospect of living in a world where non-magic users cannot survive.
  • Superpower Lottery
  • White-Haired Pretty Boy
