Honestly, this chapter was trash. Absolute garbage. Deus ex Machina Brandish to da fuckin' rescue (shouldn't really be surprised; she now perfectly fits in with the cast of Fairy Tail). And I understand Mashima's purpose behind doing this is to keep God Serena's power "hidden" but he did so in such a way that one of the most hyped fights of this arc was...performed off-screen. Honestly, this tops manga Igneel vs. Acnologia for most annoying fight ever. We were all looking forward to God Serena showcasing his magic and wrecking them. Did he wreck them? Yeah, but we didn't get to see it, which is my issue. I have 0 problem with the fact that they were fodderized; I mean, we all foresaw it. But it would have been nice to have an entire chapter devoted to God Serena basically wiping all of them out.

And I still don't think Ajeel is as weak as people think he is. He got hit with an elemental disadvantage, and then got hit with a bullshit Jupiter shot that didn't bullshit hit bullshit Erza (and no, I'm not hating on Erza. Bisca fired the cannon directly at her and she came out unscathed). It took a super-weapon to make Ajeel even rendered able to be dealt a fatal blow by a weapon that allows Erza to cut through magic itself. This chapter was just plain poor and had some of the worst, most convenient writing I've seen yet.
