Agree on the last paragraph, Jackal killing the Council was high-stakes which set the bar high, which can be good or bad, but all of this is just our thoughts so far on the arc, so we all can be wishy-washy right now. On Brandish, it's tough. I really, really like her character, been liked it since she was introduced, her magic (which is lowkey OP), personality and stuff but idk just feels like she should abandon whatever shell she's in right now to start fucking shit up in the war. Like I said above I respect she's staying true to her character, she's not the fighting type but it's war. People are gonna die. People are gonna kill. You gotta do what you gotta do. It's funny cause Zeref gives the 12s so much freedom that it might backfire on him. He lets them do whatever, they disobey him and shit with no repercussions, which could be what really sets the war up for FT's victory besides them obv winning cause they're the good guys

All of this aside, thank you Hiro for NOT letting her jump ship and switching sides, although she saved Natsu which could be equivalent to that.. we'll see though
