In _Fairy Tail_ (2014) episode 70, Jellal was wearing a blindfold and was
being guided by Meredy. What is the reason that he was wearing this?

Why was Jellal Fernandes blindfolded?


In chapter 369 (episode 240 aka episode 65 (2014)) Jellal crushed his own eyes
to prevent himself from falling for Nightmare's illusions. Seeing how he does
not have an artificial eye like Erza, he could not find another way to destroy
Midnight's illusions.

So Jellal blinded himself remembering how Erza was easily able to beat
midnight's illusions before because of her artificial eye. There for he
doesn't have that handy cap that could very well have saved him he injured his
eyes making him blind along with his other severe injuries from his fight with
Midnight and the rest of the Oracion Seis. If you want my honest opinion
Meredy did the right thing by helping him as at the time he was hurt and
couldn't see. Also to her surprise the Oracion Seis helped protect Jellal from
Rusty Rose and later he regained his eye sight as he removed the blindfold.
