Nalu
After a successful 11-year run, including a popular anime adaptation, Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail manga ended in 2017. The popular shonen manga/anime enchanted fans with its rich, magical world & proved it was able khổng lồ keep up with other hard-hitting shonen titles such as Naruto, Bleach and One Piece (even if One Piece is arguably better at portraying female characters than Fairy Tale).

Part of the series' charm was the large roster of vivid characters, and how distinct each wizard was. Fairy Tail, which primarily followed the lives of Lucy, Natsu, Erza and Gray (with Wendy và Gajeel added later), was great at organically developing their relationships. Unlike Naruto (with the exception of Shikamaru và Temari), the romantic relationships, in particular, felt real và earned. Lucy và Natsu, the two main protagonists, are Fairy Tail's main ship (known to Fairy Tale fans as "NaLu"), but Mashima has always kept the jury out on their true relationship. Although the original manga và anime series have ended, fans are still hoping for a NaLu confirmation in future Fairy Tail projects. For now, here's a breakdown of NaLu's Fairy Tale history, and where the two over up by the story's conclusion.

Proof in Fairy Tail That Natsu & Lucy Care for Each Other
Lucy & Natsu chia sẻ many charged moments, providing plenty of evidence that the two care for each other romantically. Natsu was the one who invited Lucy to lớn join the Fairy Tail Guild, và from that scene forward, they had an immediate connection. You could honestly write an entire book about all of these instances of romantic tension, but we'll stick lớn some of the more significant ones.
In the Phantom Lord arc, Lucy called out for Natsu when she was falling from the Phantom Tower, knowing, somehow, that Natsu would save her. That points to lớn a special, almost telepathic, bond between the duo. In a filler episode, Natsu and Lucy went to each other's house to wait for the other and, despite being surrounded by friends they could hang out with, felt a pang of loneliness without the other there. Và during the Eclipse arc, the anime's 15th Opening showed a notable NaLu moment in which Natsu went berserk after Future Lucy was killed, specifically promising lớn protect Lucy's future, not all of Fairy Tail's.
There are also the more general, recurring hints, beginning with the most obvious: Natsu has seen Lucy naked several times and hasn't exactly shied away. Scenes in which Natsu and Lucy save each other often kết thúc with them hugging in ways that the camera romantically frames, while filler episodes increase the flirty moments between the two, usually focusing on the two almost kissing or Lucy blushing at Natsu's antics.

At the over of the day, Natsu và Lucy are a good pair because of their long history and compatible personalities. So, why didn't they declare their feelings to lớn one another? và where did the (possible) lovebirds end up?
Before we answer, we first have to address the (elephant) wizard in the room: Lisanna Strauss. There's a large group of "NaLi" shippers, và if we look back at the first few episodes, we can't exactly blame them. Natsu và Lisanna go way back as childhood friends, & the innocence in their burgeoning relationship was adorable -- Lisanna even outright proposed khổng lồ Natsu.
However, their time together was tragically cut short with Lisanna's "death"; although she was eventually brought back lớn start a possible love triangle, things just weren't the same. Lisanna was largely ignored by Mashima, và her scenes mostly revolved around fighting in animal lingerie rather than moments with Natsu. Mashima's comments at an anime convention in France in 2019 can be seen as the final hole khổng lồ sink the ship: He admitted that, "personally,
Mashima added, "At that time, what fans thought about thắm thiết relationships became very important. I thought, whatever I do, they are going to lớn hit me. Because of this, I thought to myself that the simplest thing would be for Natsu to lớn remain as is so that nothing concrete happens."

Judging by how fiercely fan hâm mộ wars can rage, we can't blame Mashima for leaving things open. But he did also say he liked NaLu better, so he may be telling readers that's his version of what's canon.
At the kết thúc of the anime, Lucy confesses how much Natsu và Fairy Tail have influenced her, and lobbed the ball up for Natsu to confess his love... Which he drops. But the two nevertheless band together for the 100 Years Quest spinoff, which has released nine volumes so far (with an anime adaptation announced), so Lucy & Natsu still have the opportunity to revisit their relationship status.

Fans might be upset with "Trollshima" for not confirming NaLu, but Fairy Tale's creator has given us plenty of thắm thiết subtext lớn work with. He's even gone on record admitting he likes NaLu, so we can presume the two have thắm thiết feelings for each other -- neven if there's no canon confession. Và for disappointed NaLi shippers, Lisanna can still be considered to be Natsu's first love, while the open (and questionable) ending regarding his current thắm thiết life leaves room for any shipper's fantasies.
