First of all... Welcome back Raven!!!

Okay, this chapter was good because of all the info we got about the past but though it was supposed to explain things but to be fair it conhfused me a bit on some points:
 * So Natsu could actually kill Zeref with just that much power? If that was enough than Zeref sould just pay a visit to Acnologia and kindly ask him to blast him with his strongest attack. Why didn't he do that? Or was there really something special about Igneels power that allowed it to kill Zeref?
 * What's the true role of Layla here? Hisui's Gate didn't need to be oppened on both sides to work, it was more like a space-time version of Anima instead of dimensional. Or am I wrong here? I hope that her role goes beyond this because if it's just this then it's really underwhlming for all th build up and tension.
 * And what about Anna? Is she just some random CS mage thaat was also his friend? Or did the CS mages and the dragons had some kind of special relationship?
 * What is the purpose of the E.N.D. book? It's connected to Natsu but differently from Mard it isn't him. What happens ifthe book is opened then?
 * Was it Igneel who killed Zeref's family and took Natsu with himself to repent for what he did? Why would he need to defeat Natsu/E.N.D. if he lovedd him and was actually training him? Did Natsu/E.N.D. pose any threat to the world that Igneel considered killing him?

Not at the start but after rereading a few times I actually liked the dragon's plan to defeat Acnologia, an it makes sense when you think about it. In the end the plan wasn't for the DS to defeat Acnologia but for them to do so. Also noone in the present ever saw a dragon teaching a little kid becaause it didn't actually happen in the present but in an era when seeing a dragon around wasn't really that uncommon.

Talking about the past, some time back in this wiki someone pointed that Acnologia could be the "Ethernano Dragon Slayer", and now we learn that the Ethernano was getting scarce back then. Why? Because Acnologia was absorbing it to get stronger and defeat the dragons. It doesn't need to be his main element but we saw that high Ethernano conentration triggers Dragon Force, partial dragonification and massive powerboost, so if he had a way to constantly absorb Ethernano he would at some point become what he is now. The fact that all dragons needed the particles to retain their power meant that Acnologia would be superior to them in the long run, to the point that he actually defeated so many dragons including out main five as they pointed in the Tartarus arc.

And what's the worst thing about this chapter you ask? Happy just dooomed the wolrd by saving the guy who is intending, and clearly can, destroy humanity. And why? "I can't let my best fiend sacrifice himself to save a few billion people I don't know". Seriously? And what makes me sad is that I know the FT mages will give reason to him next chapter. I know Hiro would never kill a main character but in universe thaat would be their best and last chance at killing Zeref. On the other hand, though I disliked it completelly, I guess it was consistent with his caracter so it can be forgiven maybe? Also, perfect set up for some development in his character maybe?

Anyway, "Assassin" an mean many things but I have two guesses. The frirst is that it's a new sprigan coming but the other is my favorite: Natsu either reveal to everyone/someone that he is E.N.D. and Mest/Lucy/Gray call him an assassin because he's the reason that the council/Layla/Silver are dead (indirectly but still) or ponders to himself about this and start calling himself an assassin for the same reason. All in all, nice chapter, nice revelations but I guess there's still some to be revealed about the past and I'm betting we won't be having that for a few more chapters.This is it, be sure to make more blogs Raven!
