The story of Fairy Tail is all about the bonds of friendship and family that tie people together, and the Fairy Tail guild is strong because its members trust and respect one another as equals, no matter what. This takes "the power of friendship" to an entirely new level, and Natsu Dragneel, the fire dragon slayer, will do anything to protect his dear friend, Lucy Heartfilia.

It's suggested that over time, Natsu and Lucy actually fell in love, giving them one more reason to risk it all to protect each other. Natsu would give anything to save his beloved Lucy, but she's not the only girl worth fighting for. If Natsu started all over again, he'd want a girlfriend who's lively and carefree like him, but he'd also benefit from a cool-headed, responsible girlfriend who can help tame in his wild side.

10 Rangiku Matsumoto Shares Natsu's Sense Of Fun (Bleach)

Natsu Dragneel is an impulsive and fun-loving fellow who follows his heart, and the same is true of Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto, which sets her apart from her stern and icy Captain, Toshiro Hitsugaya. Rangiku loves to party it up between missions.

Rangiku is a professional and knows her duty, but she is also quite fond of all her fellow Soul Reapers and can make friends with just about anyone. She is also a compassionate person, being able to talk Orihime Inoue out of a funk with ease.

9 Kyoka Jiro Is A Cool Punk Who's True To Herself (My Hero Academia)

My Hero Academia Kyoka Jiro Bass Guitar

Kyoka Jiro is a support hero with a sonic Quirk called Earphone Jack, but that's not the only way she can make some noise. Kyoka comes from a musical family, and ever since her childhood, she's nursed a passion for rock and roll. She's a free spirit whose heart burns with creative passion.

That's something Natsu can appreciate, even if he's not much of a musician himself. He'd also like Kyoka's tough, cool exterior and strong convictions as a hero, and Kyoka would like how wild and free Natsu can be. They'd have all kinds of fun together.

8 Princess Shuna Has A Gentle But Firm Hand (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime)

Princess Shuna is tougher than she looks, and that means she could easily keep up with the wild and ferocious Natsu Dragneel. Shuna is a sweet and compassionate young woman who likes the nicer things in life, but she's no pushover. In fact, she can be downright scary if people cross her.

Shuna is tough but fair, and she can easily befriend others while also acting as a stern big sister if she must. Natsu would absolutely adore Shuna's sweet side, and he would respect her tough side, too. Natsu would probably need Benimaru's blessing first, though, before getting serious about her.

7 Kyoko Hori Can Handle Herself (Horimiya)

In many regards, Kyoko Hori is the non-fantasy version of princess Shuna, in all the right ways. Kyoko Hori is popular and amicable at school, and at home, she is a humble and responsible big sister. She knows how to handle troublemakers and keep the household running.

All this would make Kyoko Hori a fine counterpart to Natsu's wild antics, and she would slowly rub off on him during their relationship. Meanwhile, Natsu would help Kyoko Hori explore new vistas in life and make wonderful memories. As things currently stand, Kyoko isn't terribly adventurous.

6 Chitoge Kirisaki Is Lively & Loves To Have Fun (Nisekoi)

Chitoge Kirisaki is half-American and belongs to a powerful crime family. She's no criminal, though; Chitoge wants to live a relatively normal and happy life as a student in Japan, and she has a bit of a temper that keeps things interesting. She always means well, though.

Chitoge is loyal to her friends, though she's surprisingly dense at times. That's similar to Natsu's own personality, and if he and Chitoge met under favorable circumstances, they'd hit it off. Any date involving these two is bound to be a real adventure.

5 Sasha Braus Is A Carefree Adventurer (Attack On Titan)

Sasha Braus wasn't the best Scout, but she was totally devoted to the cause and was even more devoted to her beloved friends. Sasha comes from the countryside, where she learned to look after herself and hunt wild game with her father. She isn't afraid of any challenge.

Natsu would be impressed, and he'd love Sasha's happy-go-lucky personality and impulsive sense of fun. No doubt Sasha would feel the same way about him, and they could both steal some fresh meat for all the Scouts. Now that's a date.

4 Asuna Yuuki Is Strong & Intensely Loyal (Sword Art Online)

Asuna Yuuki was Kirito's most vital ally during the Aincrad survival arc, and she has been by his side ever since. Asuna is well-rounded as a hero and a friend, being loyal and brave but not reckless or thoughtless about her actions. She has a good head on her shoulders.

Natsu would love to meet a girl like Asuna, and he'd cherish her as a true friend and ally during any virtual adventure. Her sweet side would no doubt stir Natsu's heart, and he'd eventually set up a lakeside house where he and Asuna can move in together. If Kirito can do it, so can Natsu.

3 Ty Lee Just Can't Stop Having Fun (Avatar: The Last Airbender)

No character in this series is more carefree and fun-living than the acrobatic Ty Lee, who is also a capable fighter. In combat, she can avoid enemy attacks with ease and disable bending with her chi-blocking strikes. Overall, though, Ty Lee would rather have fun than fight. She's not a dedicated warrior.

Ty Lee and Natsu would instantly connect on a personal level, and Natsu's fire magic would be familiar to Ty Lee, a native of the Fire Nation. If Ty Lee's in the mood for commitment, she'd choose Natsu as her first boyfriend, and Natsu would be thrilled to oblige.

2 Ichika Nakano Would Have A Calming Effect On Natsu (The Quintessential Quintuplets)

Ichika is the oldest of the five quintuplets, and she acts the part. She is known for being generally composed, calm and mature for her age, though she is also the type to swoon at the faintest hint of romance, and she is also easy to get along with. Natsu can't help but make friends with a wonderful girl like her.

Ichika would enjoy Natsu's whimsical ways, but she would also tone him down a bit and show him how to slow down and truly appreciate the good things in life. Natsu would be deeply impressed, and he'd surely fall for the wise, mature, and kind Ichika Nakano sooner or later.

1 Kohaku Is A Fierce & Loyal Stone-Age Heroine (Dr. Stone)

kohaku dr. stone

Kohaku is a wild and passionate warrior who looks after her frail big sister, Ruri, at all costs. Kohaku isn't afraid of a fight, but ultimately, she's more interested in keeping the peace and protecting her friends, such as the adorable Suika. Kohaku also has a soft side, having once brought up the topic of marriage to Chrome.

Kohaku and Natsu are on the same wavelength in terms of personality, and they would hit it off as friends with ease. Then, after having a few stone-age adventures together, they might realize that they're ready for the next step. Soon enough, Natsu might ask the Ishigami village chief for Kohaku's hand in marriage.
