The series contains two story arcs. The first 20 episodes make up the "Nirvana" (ニルヴァーナ Niruvāna) arc, which adapts Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail manga from shortly after the beginning of the 16th through the middle of the 20th volume.

The last four episodes form the self-contained "Daphne" (ダフネ Dafune) arc, where Gray Fullbuster seemingly betrays the guild and helps Daphne, a deranged wizard, capture Natsu to power an artificial dragon.

The season initially ran from October 11, 2010 to March 28, 2011 on TV Tokyo in Japan.
