"with apparently no opposition"

This has been discussed before but I'll offer my two cents. I know people have been finding issue with this lack of hardship and how Natsu is being daft in how he is willing to just break his friends away from their new lives, but frankly, what else to expect? This is FT(in a non-critical way). We had so many chapters telling how FT is....FT. Sure, it is more symbolic than it is a physical guild, and I understand that, but it was kinda obvious that it was gonna fall into place really quickly so that we can get back into the real plot. It would've dragged it on if we got several dozen chapters for each person to be convinced to get back as a FT member. Not so sure about Gajeel and Levy, but I bet Mest Doran bolt has an explanation for that. I'd say the only part that needs lots of detail is if Makarov shows up and maybe that will be very soon. All in all, I'm in favour of swiftly getting the core FT members back together. As before, my only concern is the well-execution of the Zeref plot.

I'm starting to wonder if Zeref is gonna be a troll again and appear in front of Avatar simply to mock them and then suddenly convert them into Demons on a higher level than Tartarus and since he is THE Zeref, maybe they will all successfully transform and hopefully be able to resist nakama speeches. ;D Granted, that would be sorta unoriginal and incoherent. I guess I'm expecting too much when it comes to Zeref-sama. *_*
