<em>"I want to destroy the passer-by. I want to be anarchy." - Sex Pistols</em><br>\r\n\r\nThis sixth collection of episodes in the fantasy shonen series concludes the Oracion Seis arc, as well as delivering another new separate story.<br>\r\n\r\nIn the previous collection, several wizard guilds were battling against six dark wizards who were planning to revive "Nirvana" a form of magic that turns light into dark and vice versa. At this point, Natsu is battling a fellow Dragon Slaver called Cobra, who uses poison magic. Meanwhile Erza is still coming to terms with meeting a revived but amnesiac Jellal. There is also the issue of young wizard Wendy who really wants to meet up with Jellal who helped her when she&nbsp;was young. However, things get really chaotic when Brain, the leader of Oracion Seis transforms and changes into another wizard called Zero who craves only chaos and destruction.<br>\r\n\r\nLater on in this collection, Natsu learns from Gray that he has come across someone who claims that they have seen a dragon. Hoping it is Igneel, Natsu goes off to meet the person, a wizard called Daphne. However, it turns out to be a trick as she plans to use Natsu's powers for her own vile ends. To make things worse, it looks like someone in the Fairy Tail guild is a traitor...<br>\r\n\r\nWhile the Oracion Seis arc is decent enough, personally speaking, I prefer the second story. These four episode have a nice short&nbsp;plot which not only makes a pleasant change from one long story after another, but also avoids filler. It also leads to some interesting character development, especially for Natsu.<br>\r\n\r\nThere are other also other core elements which first appear in this collection. The guild gets another regular wizard, who forms a central role in both stories, and Lucy gains some more keys to her collection.<br>\r\n\r\nHowever, at times you do sometimes find yourself drifting off during the more boring parts of the story, mainly in the first few episodes of this collection.<br>\r\n\r\nIn terms of extras, there are episode commentaries, trailers, and textless opening and closing.<br>\r\n
<b>Final score: 7 out of 10</b>
