Damn, hate reading the chapter late... Anyway this chapter was, ehrr, okay? There were a few interesting things and a few that were just meh. I can't believe you missed/didn't coment something so mportant in the cover Jak, Mest isn't there. How could Hiro not add him? I guess this confirms his lack of importance to the plot. Makarov crying wasn't that bad as you make it seem, it wasn't really great either, but I don't think it affects his epicness in any way. Standard FT dialogue and then they're going going home. Well at least they didn't want to stay and do something stupid.

As I suspected Ajeel is the first we see to fight. I have no problem with his magic but he could have done something on the level of Brandish's demonstration. Creating monsters and sand traps is cool and all but hardly impressive considering the hype he received by being one of the Spriggans. The coolest thing he did IMO, and I'm surprised how almost nobody commented, is how he just turned Erza's swords into sand.

I really have no problem with Gray but I just can't seem toaccept his IDSM power-up. Since the start I just flat out disliked it and everything related to it, even though I liked it in Silver. I guess what I don't like more is that his fighting style went from "Ice Make" to simply "Ice" (and why the hell does his hair have to flip up like that?). Lucy on the other hand was better. Now we know that she can use Star Dress even without the Spirit she's drawing power from. There's something that I found bad about it though: she completelly outclassed Sagitarius with this dress. I thought the dress only gave a bit of the spirit's power and ability to the user but that technique was far beyond anything Sagitarius has done before.

And once again Natsu break them out of the enemie's hand and punch the enemy in the face, meh. I really hope Ajeel isn't done for good. I mean, that would mean Team Natsu just became stronger than the strongst mages in Ishgar and Alvarez in an one year timeskip and the tension that was being built will just be blowwn away... I'd like Ajeel to come with something intersting related to his previous ability to turn everything to sand like he did to the swords. or actually releasing all his magic power and showing soething on the level of what Brandish did to the island.

"Battle to/of Escape" is a nice name. It gives the feeling that they won't fighting to win but to not lose. It maybe related to either a magic by Ajeel or the other Spriggan/reinforcement arriving. I don't like the idea of FT leaving Alvarez with a man down even before the true war starts. Let's just wait.
