Hmmm, the powerup seems to be the most talked about thing. Actually, it's okay for me as long as it's temporary (I wouldn't mind Gray being an Ice Devil Slayer as long as he has to work for it, not get it gift-wrapped, but this seems to be a common sentiment). Lucy's powerup was completely deserved as she had to sacrifice her contract with Aquarius with no hope (most probably) of ever being able to renew it to get it. But I hope it's temporary or is switched on in the most extreme situations, otherwise it completely demeans Juvia's magic.

But, well, wouldn't really care if the powerups were permanent. I stopped caring about the nature of easy powerups in FT after the Lightning Flame Dragon Mode was shown. Well, if Natsu got such an easy boost, why not Lucy and Gray too?

... I get the feeling that Part 5 will end with Mard again confronting Erza who has done something to really mess with his plans, only for Jellal to come in and save her. Just a notion though. ... And it looks like Kyouka might actually be the leader of the Nine Demon Gates, if they even have such a post. >.>
