Attacking Lightning! is the 188th episode of the Fairy Tail anime, and the 13th episode of the 2014 series.

The fight between Rogue and Gajeel comes to an end, with the latter ending the fight victorious. Meanwhile, the Rescue Team is in a pinch as the Garou Knights get in their way once again and Arcadios prepares to confront princess Hisui, having come to the conclusion that she was lying to him. As the Grand Magic Games reaches its peak, Laxus Dreyar, Orga Nanagear and Jura Neekis begin their long awaited showdown.

Summary[]

Rogue pats Fro

Rogue is defeated

Gajeel impresses Rogue as he absorbs his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic and enters the Iron Shadow Dragon Mode, now using the shadows to his advantage to throw Rogue off guard. The two continue their fight in the shadows, until Gajeel pulls his opponent out and blasts him away using his roar attack, earning another point for Fairy Tail. After Rogue lands defeated, a shadow being abandons Rogue's body, commenting on "the current Rogue's limit". Frosch runs to its friend's aid, trying to protect him from Gajeel, until the latter reassures the Exceed that the fight is over. When Rogue regains consciousness but doesn't remember what happened during their fight, Gajeel, as well as Mavis, express concern about the shadow creature that possessed Rogue.

Natsu hits the soldiers with Wing Attack

Facing off against the Fiore guards

Meanwhile, the Rescue Team faces off against the Fiore guards that were onto them and manages to hold their own against them, until the Garou Knights appear once again to finish their job. Meanwhile Arcadios wears his White Lily armor and looks for princess Hisui to confront her and learn the truth, since her plans about the Eclipse 2 Project and the information given by Lucy from the future contradict each other and he believes that the latter is honest.

Minerva plays with Erza

Minerva enjoys her fight with Erza

At the Games, Minerva toys with Erza who appears to be too injured to properly fight. At the same time, Gray and Juvia struggle against Lyon and Sherria, but Gray notices that teamwork is their weak spot. Back at the palace, the Rescue Team exhaust themselves more and more against the Garou Knights and the Fiore guards, while Mirajane searches for Yukino in the hallways, but refuse to back down.

Jura defeats Orga

Jura defeats Orga

In the arena, Jura joins the fight between Laxus and Orga, with Ooba explaining that the other two have no chance against him. Orga goes first and dares Jura to withstand his Lightning God Slayer Magic in order to prove that the title of the Wizard Saint is not just for show, and Jura accepts the dare. Despite Orga's devastating attack, Jura not only manages to block it with his Magic, but also knock his opponent out with a single hit. While Laxus looks at Jura with shock, Ooba explains that Jura just might be the strongest human Mage, since he now holds the fifth position as a Wizard Saint and, according to her, the four higher-ups known as the Gods of Ishgar are not even human. As Jura says that he wanted to fight Makarov's grandson for a long time, Laxus tells him that right now they hold no titles and they're just two men, charging at him. Jura easily knocks Laxus down in the same fashion as Orga, but, surprisingly, Laxus rises again while punching Jura in the face.
