Don't really get the hate for the chapter or people saying Wahl shouldn't have been defeated yet. You do realize this is a shonen manga and that all enemies are eventually defeated, yes? Wahl already proved his power by messing up the Raijinshuu. And we still have like what, 8 Spriggans left, even though the fight's been going for half a year now? I don't know about you, but I don't want to spend the next three years in Spriggan fights. Besides, this didn't feel like a (total) nakama bs power-up. There was actual strategy going on here (like with Erza vs Ajeel), using the magic barrier to trick Wahl into nullifying Laxus's disadvantage instead of just winning out of pure willforce. And making the tie-in with Yuri was great and more original than just Laxus getting a power-up just because the Raijinshuu believe in him or w/e. Seriously, this was a great fight, can't believe Jak is calling this the worst chapter ever after Erza-gets-raped-but-also-fanservice and Erza vs Kyouka
