I believe the anime team intended the Aquarius bit. Mashima does write chapters long before-hand so you never know what happens behind the scenes. :/

And once again, I still don't know why my heart only felt a little heavy at the chapter ( ._.) Usually Mashima gets me hard. Maybe cause of the context? Forced separation with possibly not meeting ever again usually depresses me in dramas not fantasy action shounens like FT with very little slice-of-life. Still blame it on me getting so excited by the awesomeness of the chapter though :/

Oh.... I just remembered that the emotional scenes in Magi didn't come to Mashima's level in regards to the gaping hole in my heart. Wut? Why? Could be subject matter preparing me for it? Who knows. All I know is that Rave always scored high on the feel-o-meter and it stayed there for a while. Ironically I read the most emotional scene in Rave(imo) and finished Rave shortly before Acnologia used breath on the island and the chapter ended with "And now, 7 years have passed", and I got triple....quadruple the feels and was so emotional for weeks and was praising Mashima like crazy to anyone that I could get to listen.
