Steel is the 397th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail. With Levy now saved and his comrades given air, Gajeel gives Torafuzar his full attention, momentarily overwhelming the Demon Gate. However, Gajeel is left at the mercy of Torafuzar's body-hardening ability and the poisonous carbonic waters of Tenchi Kaimei, which have finally started to take effect. Remembering the words former Councilor Belno spoke to him years ago, Gajeel fights back and uses the carbon in the water to turn his iron into steel, which in turn he uses to defeat Torafuzar and dispel Tenchi Kaimei once and for all.
