Aight, so, the chapter was pretty nice, but holy shit, was the hot spring scene really necessary? We get an extra long chapter just so Mashima can spend half of it drawing everyone naked. Okay then. All I was thinking was that the anime will just give them a fireplace instead. Provided that it doesn't stop after Tartaros. :'D

Anyways, we still got some nice info there, I'd like to think that Freed and Bickslow got much stronger, but again, 'Aces of Blue Pegasus' doesn't sound exactly threatening... On the other hand, Laxus constantly training sounds really promising. Given that he was already strong enough to take Jura down, I guess we have a candidate for non-bullshit fight vs. one of the Twelve... *remembers Jura vs. Laxus* or maybe not ( ._.)

Anyways, I'm actually liking the bits of Brandish's personality that we've seen. It's somewhat rare to have a villain this composed, yet fun to have around.... Wait, no, take it back. She just blew up the space guy cuz she couldn't bother. -_- A bit too many cliches there. Anyways, as the chapter title spoiled it for us, Brandish literally erased the friggin island. o.o I found it funny that they compared her power to that of Makarov though, since the poor old guys hasn't been relevant for quite a while.

There's one more thing I'd like to point out, and that is the 'reaction' in Natsu's bandaged arm. I'm 100% sure it's related to END. I mean, why have Gray notice it specifically? *dumdumnatsuvsgraydumdum*

I wonder how Brandish saw through their disguise tho. Is it just the class OP villain moment? Or Mest is a triple agent that erased his memories to infiltrate FT to erase his memories to infiltrate the council? .______.

Anyways, this kind of setup is perfect for Gildarts' return. The villains seem to be so strong that Mashima doesn't need to push the nerf buttons anymore. *gives Makarov a heart attack* *sends Gildarts away*
