The chapter was okay. Biggest revelation this chapter is obviously that Emperor Spriggan is in fact Zeref. But, I guess it was to be expected maybe, after Zeref's little chat with Acnologia. And, honestly, it didn't really come off to me as such a huge moment...I mean, he had to be included for a bigger role in this series sooner or later anyway. I'll give Mashima credit though, he couldn't have brought him into the Arc in a better way than he did.

I was hoping to see more members of the Spriggan 12 this chapter, after seeing how awesome Brandish was, but I guess I'll just have to wait.

And btw, Raidad, Mest is nothing but a weak pedophile, who constantly changes his persona, so I don't understand why you like him so much. I like his teleportation moments though, he's got a cool Magic, I'll give him that.

Things I liked about this Chapter:
 * Spriggan actually being Zeref (obviously)
 * Gray's stripping moment XD
 * Motion-sick Wendy. So Kawaii-desuchan XD
 * Makarov's beard!! OMG!! :O
 * The guy Makakrov was with was interesting. And he looks like a camel XD

Things I did not like about this Chapter:
 * The whole, getting-poeple-on-to-the-boats part. A waste of panels
 * Angel and Lucy moment. Uneccessary.
 * As Raidad said, Angel being the spy instead of Cobra, Meredy or Jellal.
 * No new Spriggan 12 member was shown :(
