Natsu, never one to wait, launches himself at Zeref. Todd Haberkorn, as Natsu, delivers a performance here that shatters the typical "hot-headed hero" mold. His roar isn't triumphant; it's desperate. You hear the crack in his voice—the fear of a son facing an abusive brother, the rage of a demon created for a single purpose. When Natsu ignites his flames, the sound design in the dub mix is phenomenal. The whoosh of the fire sounds hungry, but it’s immediately snuffed out.
Essential viewing. Keep tissues nearby.
