Fairy Tail Volume 42 introduces the Tartaros conflict after the town of giants is saved. The demon guild attacks the Magic Council and then targets former members, drawing Fairy Tail into a new emergency. Kodansha explicitly identifies the beginning of this battle here. This paperback is a useful boundary for continuing readers, while the preceding volume remains the place to follow the town mission rather than reconstructing its ending from this opening situation.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

Tartaros attacks an institution through both its present and former members. That detail in Kodansha's description makes the threat broader than a battle with whoever currently holds office. Leaving the Council has not removed a person from the enemy's interest. The premise therefore invites attention to what an institution's people know or retain, not only what authority they exercise today. It does not yet establish why those individuals are being targeted, and this note does not supply the answer. The consequential arrival is the demon guild as an organized opponent whose campaign forces Fairy Tail to respond to unfamiliar powers.
