Don't get me wrong, okay? I'm not this guy's pal or anything. We happened to study under the same master.
~ Lyon Vastia to Racer.

Lyon Vastia (リオン・バスティア Rion Basutia), first introduced as Reitei Lyon, is one of four Ice Mages shown in the anime/manga series Fairy Tail, as well as a rival of Gray Fullbuster. He is currently an Ice-Make Mage of the legal guild Lamia Scale. He is the main antagonist of the Galuna Island arc before becoming a supporting protagonist for the rest of the series.

He is voiced by Yuki Kaiji in the Japanese version of the anime and Jerry Jewell in the English version, the latter of who also voices Claire Stanfield and Eis Shenron.

Personality[]

Lyon is usually cold and composed. He is very arrogant and confident in his abilities and takes immense pride in possessing them. He takes his dreams and ambitions very seriously, to the point that he attempted to revive the demon Deliora, who his mentor Ur gave up her life to forever seal. He is also very impulsive and has a short temper, lashing out whenever someone, usually Gray, criticizes him. After joining Lamia Scale, he loosened up significantly, although he retained much of his impulsive nature.

Lyon is an extremely intelligent fighter as well as a quick witted observant. He was able to uncover Racer's weakness by merely observing the movement of the birds. Like Gray, he seems to bluntly ignore his comrade Sherry Blendy's obvious feelings for him. However, upon spotting Juvia Lockser, he claimed to have instantly fallen in love.

History[]

Lyon was an orphan who Ur adopted, making him her disciple along with Gray who joined them later on, he trained with Ur and secretly learned magic from her books to get stronger on his own. When the demon Deliora from the book of Zeref who Gray wanted to defeat but failed to do so, causing their mentor Ur to sacrifice herself in order to seal away the demon for good within her Iced-Shell spell. Lyon after who was knocked out for the majority of the event was broken after realizing what happened, angered, he puts the blame on Gray and tells him that he's the reason Ur died.

After several years Lyon gathered dozens of survivors from the village Deliora had attacked and arrived at Galuna Island soon after to commence a magical ceremony in order to gather Moon Drip which would help release the demon Deliora from the ice.

Synopsis[]

Galuna Island arc[]

Taking on a forbidden S-Class mission to the cursed Galuna Island, Natsu and company arrive at the island and soon encounter Lyon who went by the name "Reitei" at that time. Gray and Natsu attack Lyon but were quickly defeated as Lyon continued his rituals.

Later on, Natsu decides to take on Lyon on his own. He arrives at the temple and immediately attacks an ice clone of Lyon who battles Natsu when Gray interferes and prepares to use Iced-Shell on Lyon, who tells Gray he doesn't have the guts to cast the spell. Gray responds by moving the spell one step further, almost ending his own life when Natsu punches him and tells him that he will not allow him to die like that. Gray, now back to his senses decides to fight Lyon alone as they were rivals since childhood, which Natsu agrees to. Lyon and Gray enter a fierce fist fight which was heavily one sided in the beginning, but as Lyon provoked Gray more and more, the latter began slowly catching up. Lyon then began using his magic, saying he wasn't planning to use his magic on small fries before facing the soon to be revived demon. The battle continues with both sides pushing back and forth until Gray finally defeats Lyon with his Ice-Make: Cannon technique.

Shocked, Lyon remains motionless on the ground until he hears the roars of the resurrected demon Deliora. Later, he arrives at the location Deliora was, crawling as he was heavily fatigued. He tells Gray to step aside as he was Deliora's sworn defeater, but Gray knocks Reitei out for his own sake. Deliora then begins to collapse, having had its soul consumed by Ur's ice throughout the years, which brought Lyon to tears, realizing he will never surpass his mentor no matter how hard he tried.

Fighting Festival arc[]

After his defeat, Lyon was seen in the city of Magnolia along with his subordinates during the grand festival, astonished by the scenery.

Oración Seis arc[]

Sensing the underground and potentially dangerous movements of the Dark Guild Oración Seis, the Magic Council put up a request to four legal guilds to combine their strength in order to stop the menaces from activating a mass destruction weapon called Nirvana. Among the guilds that accepted the offer were Lamia Scale.

After being slapped away by Erza, Ichiya flies towards the front door when he's suddenly stopped and then frozen. Soon it was revealed to be Lyon who commented on the "warm welcoming" endued. Lyon was shocked to know of Gray's presence in the alliance and the latter had the same reaction. He was soon joined by Jura Neekis and Sherry Blendy from the same guild, telling Gray that their team is so powerful, three members were enough unlike the rest of the guilds who were consisting of four members each.

Later on they encounter the members of Oracion Seis. Racer immediately launches an assault against the allied forces which catches Lyon off guard, they were then attacked by Hoteye and were left in a liquefied earth. After Erza was poisoned by Cobra, she asks for someone to cut off her hand so the poison does not spread to the rest of her body. Lyon accepts the request and immediately picks up a sword to cut her arm off rather cold-blooded much to Gray's futile protest however, once Lyon swung down the sword he was stopped by Gray. The two have a brief argument before Erza collapses and they are told by Carla that Wendy can heal Erza. They are then separated into several teams to search for the kidnapped Wendy. Lyon, leading his companions from Lamia Scale head inside the woods and are greeted by several traps, animals and wizards working for Oración Seis.

During his fight with Racer, Gray struggles to fend off the menace and was dragged into a vehicle race where he spots Lyon and Sherry, he asks Lyon to hop onto the mobile and they both head off to fight Racer. Lyon showcases his two-handed moldings much to Gray's surprise since Lyon had belittled it so much in their last encounter. Now off the vehicles, the battle is taken to the ground where both Lyon and Gray subconsciously strip simultaneously to Racer's perplexity and Sherry's fancy. When the situation seemed hopeless for both ice wizards, Lyon discovers Racer's weakness.

Lyon whispers to Gray before they continue fighting when Lyon abruptly freezes Gray into a colossal Ice Tower. He takes on Racer by himself and almost gets killed in the process when he reveals to Racer that he is not fast, but he slows down his adversaries' perspective of time. It was then that Gray from atop the tower formed earlier, outside the range Racer controls time within manages to get a clear shot on him. Racer however, unsatisfied and desperate charges at the mages with an explosive Lacrima attached to him, plotting to blow everyone up. Lyon immediately rushes at Racer and hauls him off the cliff, sacrificing himself to save Gray and Sherry.

However, Lyon survived and appears later on just as Sherry was about to attack Natsu and company, having fallen under the effect of Nirvana. When they question how he survived he teases them and says that he isn't someone who can die as easily as them, bringing Sherry back to the light.

Lyon then aids the allied forces by molding a gigantic wing to support Blue Pegasus's Christina flying. He also telepathically encourages Gray to stand up and fight for the final battle against Zero. Christina then crashes into some forest with the mages atop it after they stopped using their magic due to fatigue however, they were all alive much to everyone's joy.

After the successful mission, Lyon and company return to Cait Shelter where Jura praises him for his and Sherry's hard work. He then strips alongside Gray after Natsu proposed the idea of a party much to Lucy's shock. Afterwards he and his guild learn of the sad truth about Cait Shelter and the nature of Nirvana. Later that day when the guild were about to depart each on their way, Lyon tells Gray to get rid of his "stripping fetish" which Gray responded by pointing out Lyon's own indecency. He also notices the peculiar argument between Sherry and Ren about leaving each other.

Magic and Abilities[]

Ice-Make: A form of Molding Magic that allows the user to create ice at his will and to shape it into objects. Lyon's proficiency in Ice-Make spells, after joining the Lamia Scale Guild, allowed him to quickly be selected to do S-Class jobs. Whether this indicates that he is an S-Class Mage or not is yet to be confirmed. As an Ice-Make user, Lyon is an individual resistant to cold and as such able to take damage from ice and snow-based attacks without sustaining major injury and is either completely to immune snow based attacks such as Eve Tearm's Snow Magic or is more resilient to it than other people. As a child, Lyon has proven to be a true and rare prodigy in this magic.

  • Dynamic Ice-Make: Dynamic Ice-Make: Unlike Gray whose version is Static (which allows him to create weapons and nonliving objects), Lyon´s Ice-Make is Living (aka Dynamic), which means most of his creations are animal familiars made from ice much more malleable. However this may simply be a matter of preference, as Lyon has also demonstrated some Static techniques, such as Ice-Make: Sword, Shield, and Geyser.
    • Ice-Make: Eagle: Lyon creates several eagles that fly to his enemy and strike it. As a dynamic form of ice magic, these eagles can avoid any obstacles to hit its target.
    • Ice-Make: Snow Dragon: Lyon creates an ice Dragon that rushes towards its targets, and crushes them.
    • Ice-Make: Ape: Lyon creates a large ape from ice. When he first employed it against Gray's Ice-Make: Ice Hammer, he created a static version of it. It was later revealed to be of the Dynamic type as well.
    • Ice-Make: Snow Tiger: Lyon creates a tiger made out of ice that can rush towards, and bite its target.
    • Ice-Make: Wolf: Lyon's entire arm is enveloped by a thick layer of ice which manifests as the head of a wolf. This strengthens his punches and increases the damage it causes to his enemies.
    • Ice-Make: Wing: Lyon is able to grow wings made from ice. He used such technique to fly over onto the Magic Bomber: Christina.
    • Ice-Make: Panther: Lyon puts his palm on one side of the target, creating a panther made of ice that passes through the target and comes out from the opposite side.
    • Ice-Make: Diamond Cage: Lyon creates a diamond-sided sphere of ice on the enemy to destroy the target’s body. It was stated that it loses its hardness the further it is away from the Caster and eventually shatters. This ice has been proven to be unmeltable, as shown when Lyon first used it on Natsu, he couldn't melt the ice on him with the fire from his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic.
    • Ice-Make: Puffer Fish: Lyon creates a puffer fish made of ice and sends it towards the target, bashing it with its mass.
    • Ice-Make: Water Serpent: Lyon creates a large, spiraling serpent made of ice that freezes his intended target upon contact.
    • Ice-Make: Mouse: Lyon creates a small, exceptionally cute mouse made of ice to function as a distraction, allowing him time to prepare more powerful spells.
    • Ice-Make: Dragonfly: Lyon creates many Dragonflies, made of ice, that quickly home in on and attack his target.
  • Static Ice-Make: Even though Lyon has shown himself to be a master at using the Dynamic variation of Ice-Make Magic, he has demonstrated a few spells that shows he is capable of using the Static variation as well, though his level of usage seen so far is not as abundant as Gray's.
    • Ice-Make: Sword: The user creates a sword made of ice for melee combat. The strength of the sword is powerful enough to combat normal swords.
    • Ice-Make: Shield: The user creates large pieces of ice in front of themselves, which then quickly reform into hexagonal pieces arranged in a shield-like barrier to protect everything behind it.
    • Ice-Make: Ice Geyser: Lyon freezes the ground in front of him, creating a tower of ice spikes that impales his target.
    • Ice-Make: Hedgehog: Lyon covers his body with ice spikes reminiscent of a hedgehog, to protect himself from melee attacks. This was first seen in his battle against Racer.
    • Ice-Make: Clone: Lyon creates a copy of himself made out of ice. The copy is perfectly identical to him, being revealed as made of ice only after a close, careful inspection, and thus coming in useful to avoid enemy attacks.
    • Ice-Make: Titan Feet: Lyon creates a huge leg out of ice and slams it onto the target, crushing the victims underfoot.

Ice Magic: Ice Magic allows the user to manipulate or create the element of ice. Little is known about Ice Magic, as there have only been a few spells used so far, such as freezing objects the user comes into contact with, or Iced Shell, which requires the user to give up their body and transform into ice.

  • Iced Shell: While Lyon has never employed such high-level Magic, it is revealed that he knows how to cast it nevertheless.

Snow Magic: Snow Magic is a form of Magic that revolves around the creation, manipulation and control of snow. The user of this Magic can release snow from their body and manipulate it, or they can use this Magic to alter the surrounding climate, depending on the situation. This Magic can be used for various purposes, but it's mainly used for combat. The form of the snow depends on the user, and thus can take on many forms, such as snowballs, avalanches, blizzards, or snowstorms.

  • Blizzard: Lyon has shown the ability to generate and control blizzards, moving them around through hand gestures and using the blunt power granted by their cold winds to strike multiple targets.

Moon Drip: Moon Drip requires the light of the moon to act. It can deactivate every possible spell, even the "unmeltable ice" made by Ur's Iced Shell.

Keen Intellect: Lyon has an awake mind. Ever since he was small he was able to easily learn any spell Ur taught him. After the death of Ur, in an attempt to prove to himself and to the world that he is much more powerful than his teacher, he has been planning, under the Reitei's mask, for years to awaken the old demon Deliora from the prison where Ur had imprisoned for the sole purpose of killing him. During the fight with Oracion Seis Racer, Lyon quickly realized the true nature of the latter and managed to make it understandable even to Gray.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Lyon is proficient in hand-to-hand combat. He is skilled enough to have overwhelmed Gray with punch and kicks, albeit he repeatedly aimed for the latter's injuries.

Trivia[]

  • Lyon's English voice actor, Jerry Jewel, also voices Eis Shenron. Both characters have ice-based powers and aren't above using dirty tactics to win fights. Unlike Lyon, however, Eis never redeems himself.
  • Lyon is the first Fairy Tail antagonist to act as a foil to one of the main characters. In his case, he is a foil to Gray; both are ice wizards who trained under the same teacher, but Gray was able to move on after Ur's death and find happiness in the Fairy Tail guild, all because he believed Ur when she said there were loads of wizards in the West more powerful than her. Lyon, on the other hand, refused to believe Ur's words and became obsessed with surpassing her by defeating the one thing she couldn't. The irony is that his arrogance and obsession is what enabled Gray to finally defeat him, something he was never able to do when they were younger. Lyon is an example of what Gray would have become had he refused to leave his past behind (although this dynamic is downplayed due to Lyon going on to redeem himself afterwards).
