First off... Loved the chapter cover :) Now, Juvia. I expected she would survive (not that I like it)... but I'm also glad it wasn't done in a bullshit way. If it was just Wendy miraculously arriving at the right moment, I would call bullshit. However, with Carla's precognition helping (which we haven't seen in awhile, which is nice), it's alright. This chapter wasn't bad, in-fact it could have been good for me. If it wasn't for Neinhart (<YOU, better get back up)/ Invel getting defeated so fast ._. I feel like most of the time when Mashima tries to make the protagonist look good, he completely ruins the antagonist (at least leave them standing, and pissed or something lol). The other stuff that transpired is iffy... I'll wait to see how it plays out.
