Humor? I didn't laugh once during this chapter, or the last. And this is coming from a guy who loves comedy. Humor is nice, but it was so out of place. Now was not the time for humor, as the situation was getting desperate for the guild. In a serious arc like this, comic relief should be used on minor enemies. But for one the seven strongest fighters of the strongest dark guild around? Sorry, that's a no. Ultear escaped before plotkai was invoked. I also found the fight illogical when it came to the doll. How Lucy felt no damage hitting Kain at speeds she could not normally handle at all, one would think her knuckles would at least hurt. But that didn't bother me like Natsu transferring his power to her. What was that about? Kain stupidity was still leaps and bounds for me. It's normal to see idiots trash their opponents, but Kain was another level. Mashima should consider laying off the quirky characters for a while.
