Hmm I am quite pleased that my assumptions that Lucy will use Gemini to copy Marin is correct. I noticed that Hiro attempts to use some short-term foreshadowing from time to time and started actively paying attention to these things starting from the moment Evergreen mentioned Magnolia's pollen problem then Hiro using that fact as an excuse to take Brandish and her OPness out of the equation. It is incredibly stupid but it is still foreshadowing.

As for this fight, I thought that Lucy using Marin in some way became very plausible the moment she mentioned Jacob is using Spatial Magic a couple of chapters back.

Another interesting point this chapter brings out is the issue with Lucy's Stardress. It is a very fantastic upgrade for Lucy and really improves her combat ability (Taurus and Sagittarius forms are pretty great in particular) but it creates redundancy with her spirits who have very simplistic or specific abilities. I'm not sure how Lucy truly benefits from using the Virgo or Gemini Stardress without making the spirit obsolete for the most part. Just look at Sagittarius Stardress, it gives Lucy the Star Shot which is something Sagittarius himself has shown. Of course, one can argue that is something he can only use once the summoner is strong enough like Horologium's emergency summon but since it is not clarified atm, he will remain inferior to Lucy for now.
