Appearances[]

The Return of Harmony[]

Statue of Discord cracking S2E01

Discord breaking free from his stone imprisonment

Discord first appears as the main antagonist Season 2 two-part premiere.

During the opening scene, he is encased as a statue in the Canterlot sculpture garden. The statue is posed in a cheerful manner in contrast to the frightened pose that Discord assumes when being turned into stone at the end of the next episode, which concludes the story arc. Cheerilee, who is taking her Ponyville class on a field trip, stops the class to point out the draconequus statue. The Cutie Mark Crusaders argue over what it represents and begin to duke it out, only for Cheerilee to break them up. She tells them to come along and that she does not want any more fighting. As they quietly argue while leaving, Discord's statue begins to crack and his laughter is heard.

The stained glass that depicts the story behind Discord's initial defeat, by the two princesses

Before he is directly introduced, the Mane Six witness the effects of his power in Ponyville. Inexplicably, things begin acting irregularly, such as clouds made out of cotton candy that move of their own accord, chocolate milk pouring down from the sky like rain, and animals that behave uncharacteristically and spontaneously change shape. Celestia explains to the Mane Six that Discord is the spirit of disharmony in a way similar to Cheerilee's teaching. According to Celestia, he caused unrest and unhappiness throughout all of Equestria for everypony. Celestia and her sister Luna stood up to Discord and used the Elements of Harmony to turn him to stone. Celestia says she thought Discord would be contained forever. However, since she and Luna are no longer connected to the Elements of Harmony, the spell imprisoning Discord has broken and he has escaped from his stone imprisonment. When the Elements of Harmony go missing, Celestia accuses Discord of stealing them because they were held in a chamber protected by a spell she thought only she could break. Discord appears in the stained-glass windows of the palace and explains he simply borrowed the Elements. When demanded to tell them where the Elements are, he gives in, but says he will only tell them his way – he replies with a riddle, making Twilight think he hid the Elements in the Canterlot castle labyrinth.

Discord laughing S2E01

"Good luck, everypony!"

When the Mane Six venture into the palace labyrinth, Discord suddenly appears and prevents them from "cheating" in his "game" by magically removing their wings and horns. This enforces the first rule of his game: No flying and no magic. The second rule is they must all play the game or else the game is over and he wins. He physically separates them in the maze and the game begins. Discord confronts each one of the Mane Six with trials that make them question themselves, making them contradict the elements they represent. The one exception is Fluttershy, who is not embittered by Discord's claim that her best friends think she is helpless. He gets frustrated at the difficulty of upsetting Fluttershy and manually brainwashes her by force. He tells her she has been kind far too long and it is now time to be cruel, then bids her goodbye with an extremely agitated "arrivederci."

After making Applejack dishonest, Pinkie Pie grumpy, Rarity greedy, and Fluttershy cruel, Discord plays with Rainbow Dash's loyalty to her best friends by showing her a vision that her hometown of Cloudsdale would be destroyed without her. He offers her a choice: She can either have her wings back and go to the aid of Cloudsdale or continue to seek the Elements. Falling for the bait, she flies out of the labyrinth and breaks Discord's "no flying and no magic" rule. Having "won", he destroys the entire labyrinth and proclaims they "might be due for a big old storm of chaos" as he opens his umbrella and laughs evilly.

Discord being defeated S2E2

Discord defeated once again

Twilight is upset when Discord removes the maze before they can find the Elements of Harmony until Discord reveals they were not in the labyrinth. He magically shows her the riddle again and she realizes that the Elements are "back where she began". Afterwards, Discord turns Ponyville into what he claims will be the "chaos capital of the world". Twilight finds the Elements and forcibly places them on the corrupted ponies and Spike, who was hastily substituting for Rainbow Dash. However, the Elements fail miserably just as Discord expected. Twilight loses faith in their mission and almost becomes entirely corrupted herself – until she re-reads the letters she wrote to Celestia about the magic of friendship. With renewed motivation, she cures all her corrupted best friends by making them remember the wonderful times they had together.

When they go to confront him, Discord continues to be unconcerned and thus is easily defeated by the reawakened powers of the Elements. After being struck with a rainbow similar to that previously used on Nightmare Moon, Discord is turned back into stone, but with an expression of fear frozen onto his face this time.

After being released from his stone imprisonment by the Mane Six, Discord immediately begins to cause mischief again, frustrating everypony once again.

At Fluttershy's house, Discord creates mischief there, but Fluttershy allows him since he is comfortable with it that way.

Later, during dinner, Discord admits he has never had a friend before, explaining the reason he became antagonistic years ago. He is touched when Fluttershy declares herself to be his best friend and it is this glimpse of genuine friendship that makes him undo the mischief he had originally caused.

He politely asks for a glass of water and breaks into song, singing "Glass of Water." During the song, Discord makes various popular culture references.

Afterwards, it is revealed that Discord having the "blu flu" was fake the whole time, angering Twilight and Cadence. Discord explains he was only faking it for a good reason, which is because he wanted Twilight and Cadence to look after him and be his best friends. However, even after he congratulates Twilight for passing his "friendship test", she is still angry at him. When Cadence says Discord did not ruin Twilight's visit with her, both Twilight and Discord are shocked. Just then, a tatzlwurm suddenly emerges from underground, frightening Discord and infecting him with a real illness.

Later, he is temporarily quarantined in a plastic bubble. When he asks for one more thing, an exasperated Twilight immediately refuses – but Discord states he was simply going to ask for a glass of water and smirks, hinting at this to be another trick of his.

Discord, Trixie, Starlight, and Thorax have a ceremony held in their honor after saving Equestria from Chrysalis.

Afterwards, Discord questions Twilight about what she has planned for Starlight as she has now proven herself as far more than a student, taking great glee in taunting her over not having things planned out for Starlight as Celestia did for her. While Twilight is panicking over what to do, Discord spreads her intentions to announce her plans for Starlight to all the guests at the ceremony.

As Twilight (after receiving much needed advice from Celestia) prepares to announce what she has planned for Starlight, Discord takes out filming equipment in order to record her likely humiliating speech, only to be disappointed when Twilight actually does have an idea of what to do for Starlight – that being to graduate her as a student and let her continue at her own pace.

Discord makes a cameo appearance in A Royal Problem.

He is seen with the Smooze in one of the dreams Celestia is viewing.

Discordant Harmony[]

Fluttershy and Discord's 'normal' tea party S7E12

Fluttershy and Discord's "normal" tea party

Discord is the main protagonist of the Season 7 episode Discordant Harmony.

He invites Fluttershy to his house. However, worried she will not appreciate it there due to the chaos, he decides to change everything and himself; however, everything does not go as planned.

When the time for their scheduled tea party arrives, Discord transports Fluttershy to his house and she is excited to finally see where he lives. However, she is surprised by how normal Discord and everything around him looks. Without the usual chaos Fluttershy has come to expect from him, she is considerably disappointed. She asks him about the drastic changes he has made to himself, but Discord assures her he feels perfectly normal.

However, when Discord picks up the tea kettle, it suddenly phases through his hand and falls on the floor. Much to Fluttershy's shock and horror, he is starting to fade out of existence. Each time Discord exhibits "normal" behavior, he fades away even further and Fluttershy realizes that his new non-chaotic persona is slowly destroying him. Unfortunately, Discord is unfazed by this development and continues to act normal, despite the effect it is having on him.

In an effort to stop Discord from fading, Fluttershy begs him to do something chaotic, but his ghost-like appearance prevents him from doing so. Therefore, Fluttershy starts causing her own chaos around his house by knocking over teacups, talking to her own reflections, disorganizing the furniture, and nailing chairs to the ceiling. This inspires Discord's old self and he starts to recorporealize. Once he is back to physical form, he joins in the fun and brings back the singing ginseng tea bags and floating furniture.

When Discord mentions that his style of party throwing is the complete opposite of Fluttershy's, Fluttershy says she never expected him to throw a party like her because of how different they are. Discord fears driving Fluttershy away because of their differences — because their friendship does not make sense. But Fluttershy reveals he has introduced her to so many things since they became friends and that she likes him because of their differences.

With Discord back to his old self, he throws a proper Chaosville tea party for himself and Fluttershy, replete with sneezing pinatas, singing tea bags, and upside-down sandwich butterfly-catching games.

The Break Up Break Down[]

Discord returns in this episode as a supporting protagonist. Discord dismisses the notions of love and romance and only wants to play Ogres & Oubliettes with Spike and Big Mac. When Big Mac is heartbroken over believing Sugar Belle wants to break up with him, Discord tries to cheer him up, eventually giving him the idea of breaking up with Sugar Belle first. In the end, Discord orchestrates a situation in which Big Mac and Sugar Belle can reconcile the miscommunication between them.

A Matter of Principals[]

Discord suddenly appears behind Starlight and Spike to their amazement. He claims to come to temporarily run the school in the absence of Twilight until Spike points out to him that Starlight who was appointed in charge of the school. Exasperated, the Draconequus proposes modifications to the rule but Starlight declines and specifies that she does not need its help, upset Discord answers that they will do if it changes its mind before teleporting.

Later, Starlight and Spike go to the headmaster's office but discover Discord redecorate it in his chaotic manner. He again offers his ideas little orthodox for the school but Starlight still declines and pushes him to the door asking him to go home, only Discord let him know that he also hired temporary teachers for the friendship lesson. Unfortunately, the new teachers prove to be bad enough to teach the friendship that provokes agitation and disorder in the school. Starlight tells Discord that it's all his fault, but Discord reminds him that she's the one in charge, Starlight, even more, upset by the selfish behavior, asks her to leave again, Discord turns into a leaf and wants to go out by the window growling that he just wanted to help.

Of course the next day, Discord does not give up and infiltrates the Trixie magic class that Starlight has hired as a new teacher. After interrupting Trixie with a banana phone, he pulls out of the unicorn hat an Ursa Major that scares the whole class. In the field of Sport, he masquerades as the gym teacher and makes appear a bugbear that makes the students run but Starlight chases the creature before it hurts someone. An angry Starlight screams at Discord that she's tired of him and that his dangerous action stops now. Discord not impressed, refuses with provocation and Starlight gives him an ultimate warning until Spike tries to calm the situation by reminding Starlight that Discord is her friend but Starlight says he does not act as a friend. Spike asks Discord what his problem is and Discord answers that his problem is that Twilight is named an incompetent and power-hungry unicorn in charge. With this insult of too much, Starlight launches a huge wave of magic that seems to annihilated Discord to the horror of the students until Starlight reassures them explaining that she has just banished Discord from school forever.

Discord, however, is still able to come to school in spiritual form. He terraces the students during their treasure hunt with the artifacts they were supposed to look for. While the students are surrounded by the inanimate objects, Starlight arrives and Discord shows up. Starlight confronts Discord and tells him that he can not continue to cause chaos in the school but Discord replies that he can and will continue. Much to Discord's surprise, Starlight tells him she's sorry before restoring his physical form. Having finally understood why Discord did all this, Starlight apologizes for never having invited him to school before and suddenly made Discord feel excluded. Both make peace and Starlight offers him the vice head mare position which he accepts with pleasure. The Mane 6 finally come back to see their friendship quest was a trick so they take a bath.

Best Gift Ever[]

In the one-hour special My Little Pony Best Gift Ever, Discord helps Rainbow Dash find a Hearth's Warming gift for Fluttershy. They track down and catch a rare winterchilla for Fluttershy's animal sanctuary and inadvertently unleash a winterzilla on Twilight's castle. When Fluttershy calms the beast down, Discord reveals he hatched this plot to put Fluttershy in a position to save the day as his own Hearth's Warming present to her. Afterwards, he spends Hearth's Warming with Twilight and her friends and family, receiving a gift of an elephant tea cozy from Fluttershy.

The Beginning of The End[]

In the premiere, "The Beginning of the End", Discord, using his Grogar disguise, brings together Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, Tirek, and the resurrected King Sombra. The villains are unaware of who summoned them only for "Grogar" to reveal himself to be the one who was responsible. Tirek, Chrysalis, and Sombra are shocked to meet him, as they believed he was only a legend, though "Grogar" assures them that he is real and states that he summoned them as part of his plan to rid Equestria of the Mane Six.

Seeing that Cozy Glow doesn't know who he is, "Grogar" decides to demonstrate his power by giving Tirek a sample of magic that revives much of his strength. Tirek then tells Cozy Glow that "Grogar" is an ancient and powerful villain who once ruled the land that would become Equestria, claiming that he had heard stories of his tyranny when he was younger. King Sombra also mentions that he has heard of the "Father of Monsters". "Grogar" then tells the villains of how he created terrible creatures that roamed under his rule, before Chrysalis remarks how he was banished by Gusty the Great, although "Grogar" claims that he was only temporarily weakened when she took his bell; however, Cozy Glow points out that, since he has been weakened before even Tirek was born, he has a different idea of what "temporarily" means, much to his annoyance. In reality though, Gusty the Great really did banish the real "Grogar" into limbo, from which there is no return.

"Grogar" proceeds to tell the group that he has watched them and their failures to take over Equestria, and asks them why they have always been defeated by the same six ponies each time, Chrysalis claiming that it is because they "cheat", Tirek claiming that it is because they are "annoyingly lucky" but Cozy Glow just says that "she's just a kid". "Grogar" rebuffs their answers and claims it is because they work together as a team, demanding that the villains join forces with him to take over Equestria. Sombra, however, refuses to serve "Grogar" and arrogantly proclaims that he will take over the Crystal Empire by himself, causing "Grogar" to send him off to the Empire on the conditions that, if he fails, he will serve him or be destroyed again. After this, "Grogar" tells the others to prepare to work together and leaves. Cozy Glow immediately compares working together to making friends, telling Tirek and Chrysalis that they are in luck since she knows "all about that", though the former only flicks her away in annoyance.

Back at Canterlot, Discord initially helps Twilight fight King Sombra. Then he takes on a full-blast of Sombra's magic and pretends to be severely injured. As Sombra descends his throne to finish off Twilight and her friends for good, Discord motivates the Mane Six with a truly heartwarming and inspirational speech. With their hope restored, the Mane Six fight back and manage to destroy King Sombra for good.

Once the danger was over, Discord reveals that he was fine all along, and had only pretended to be hurt in order to give Twilight the boost of confidence that she was finally ready to be the sole ruler of Equestria.

Meanwhile, Cozy Glow tries to get Tirek and Chrysalis to work together by having them each say nice things to each other, though this falls apart Chrysalis refuses to say anything nice about ponies.

Taking on Grogar's appearance once again, Discord then goes back to the lair and approaches the three villains. He states that he hopes the three of them will be enough to help his plans along, causing Tirek and Chrysalis to ask about Sombra. "Grogar" shows them that Sombra had failed in his plans to conquer Equestria and had again been defeated by the Mane Six, remarking that he will at least serve as an example to them as what will happen if they don't submit to his plans. Having seen this, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow unanimously agree to serve "Grogar", though are seemingly left nervous by the thought.

Frenemies[]

In "Frenemies", as "Grogar" is working, Cozy Glow approaches him and tattles on Tirek for leaving food out, Tirek quickly approaching "Grogar" and telling him not to trust anything she says afterward; though "Grogar" is quick to point out that he already doesn't trust anything that they say. Chrysalis approaches "Grogar" and impatiently asks when they are going to attack. "Grogar" informs the villains that he is leaving and demands that they all stop fighting and find a way to work together so that they can accomplish their goals. However, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow argue about what the best way to be a villain is. "Grogar" returns to see this, and, upset to see they have not yet resolved their differences, decides to send them off on a mission to retrieve his Bewitching Bell from Mt. Everhoof so that they can learn to work together. The villains fight over who should lead the mission based on their previous feats, only for "Grogar" to angrily overpower and remind them that they all failed before and cannot work alone. He reveals about how Gusty the Great stole his bell (since she could not take on the real Grogar face-to-face) and hid it on top of the mountain that is impossible to get to.

After that, the three villains work together to retrieve the bell, they decide to betray him together. Returning to "Grogar", the three trick him into thinking that they couldn't get it. "Grogar" is angry, but nonetheless is glad that the three worked together. Unknown to him, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow, in reality, have kept the bell for themselves.

The Summer Sun Setback[]

Discord appears in "The Summer Sun Setback", once again in the form of Grogar. "Grogar" is about to leave until Cozy Glow asks where he is going and he reveals that since his minions "failed" to recover the Bewitching Bell for him, they will need another source of power to defeat Twilight and her friends before taking his leave. While he was gone, Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow go to the Canterlot Archives to steal information on how to use the bell themselves. They sabotage the holiday of the Summer Sun Celebration while finding a book all about how to use the real Grogar's bell and manage to return to his lair. While that is going on, Discord attends the Summer Sun Celebration, and helps Twilight and her friends fix the issue caused by Tirek, Cozy, and Chrysalis. Discord witnesses Twilight delivering her speech, saying to himself that she may indeed be ready for whatever comes next as the next ruler of Equestria. Later, Discord poses as Grogar again and returns to the lair, telling his cohorts that he has found success where they all find "failure". He reveals that he located what he wanted and will retrieve it the next day before they begin his 'plan' to take over Equestria.

The Big Mac Question[]

Big Mac is planning to propose to Sugar Belle, and enlists Spike and Discord's help in doing so. Discord is given a bucket filled with apples which have little riddles attached to them, with the intent being that they're scattered around Ponyville for Sugar Belle to "discover" and read the riddles so that she'll come to Sweet Apple Acres, where Bic Mac has a picnic planned for them. Discord reluctantly agrees to place the apples in their designated locations. Unbeknownst to the three of them, Sugar Belle, with the help of the CMC's and Mrs. Cake, is planning her own proposal to Big Mac, and is too focused on it to notice the apples, much to Discord's frustration. Discord decides to make the apples come to life and orders them to go to their designated locations. However, because he wasn't clear as to who they were meant to deliver the messages, the apple monsters just run around Ponyville and spout their riddles to everypony they come across. When Spike brings this to Discord's attention, he sends the apples to Sweet Apple Acres. He then also teleports Sugar Belle to the hill where Big Mac planned the picnic, blindfolding her as well, but by then, Bic Mac had left, frustrated that Sugar Belle wasn't showing up. Big Mac, Spike, Discord, Mrs. Cake and Sugar Belle eventually all end up together at Sugarcube Corner, with Spike bemoaning the situation, saying that things couldn't get any worse, which then prompts Discord to tell Spike that he'd advise against saying things like that. Soon enough, the CMC's and Granny Smith show up to Sugarcube Corner, running from the apple monsters, which have fused into a giant amalgamation. Discord attempts to deny responsibility for the apple monster, but is forced to admit so when the monster proceeds to spout the riddles from Bic Mac's intended proposal, and then turns the apples back to normal. Big Mac and Sugar Belle then walk off together to Sweet Apple Acres, where they reflect on everything that happened that day, while Discord, Spike, the CMC's, Mrs. Cake and Granny Smith work together to properly arrange the couple's intended proposals, but to their relief, Big Mac and Sugar Belle have smoothened things out with a simple propoal, meaning it's time for the wedding. The gang then attends Big Mac and Sugar Belle's wedding, with Discord adding one little touch of his own: The apple monsters singing "Happy marriage! Happy apples!" repeatedly for the newlyweds.

The Ending of The End/The Last Problem[]

The villains successfully betray "Grogar", using the bell to gain new forms and drain him of his power. In doing so, they discover that "Grogar" was actually Discord in disguise. After being left exposed and powerless, Discord was forced to flee from the lair. He warns Twilight and her friends about the attack and gets captured by the evil three along with everyone except for Twilight. He makes up for his mistake by helping Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Spike escape by tricking Tirek into blasting him out of anger. After Twilight gets her confidence restored by her friends and the Mane 6 are assisted by a cavalry consisting of every character from the series against the villains, Discord is rescued from imprisonment, along with the princesses, the pillars and Starlight. Shortly after the villains are drained of the magic they absorbed from Grogar's bell, Pinkie grabs it and ends up with Discord's magic, which he is quick to take back, as well as restore the princesses' magic. Discord then suggests a proper punishment for the villains to Celestia and Luna: Turning them to stone, with which he helps them. With the villains defeated, Equestria is saved, and Twilight is deemed ready to ascend to the throne, and Discord humbily bows to her.

Discord attends Twilight's coronation. In the distant future, he assists Fluttershy with her animal sanctuary, and is part of Twilight's friendship council, but is skipping the current meeting due to him going to an Ogres and Oubliettes Convention, but makes time to pack her lunch before he goes. It is also shown that Fluttershy has moved in with him, with implications the two may have become a couple.
