So we got two chapters solelly to show how OP team Natsu has become? I'm not saying they were bad, the action was nice and we got to see a lot about how they became strong. My problem here is that the consequence of showing their powers now is that it makes Avatar look even more like jokes. And I'm sure all this hype will eventually be crushed when the true boss of this arc shows up and so on.

To be fair I don't really like Erza that much but for once seeing her win a fight without the flame pants of Nakamagic was really good. I like the new armor and swords that technique she used against Jerome was damn OP. And for some reason she looks gorgeous with that hair. Any way, Jerome got a cool sword but can't match Erza's OPness. I'd like to see at least a longer fight before he goes...

Lucy's dress was pretty nice, for once she can pose a bit of a threat to the villains without rellying too much on her spirits or Uranometria. Also maybe we can see more of Taurus now because of this dress. Mary's magic too can is pretty nice as it can take down even the strongest mages I guess. The only downside is that maybe it wouldn't affect those who can affect mages who can alter their body composition like Gajeel, Juvia and Laxus I guess.

To me it looks like Gray's magic now is less of "Ice make" and molding magic than just "Ice magic", don't know, it's like he exchanged his more strategic centered style to a more "freezing overkill" style, but maybe I'm wrong. Braya's magic on the other hand is just copying. It would be nice if there's something more to it than just making the clones, like she being an expert at hand to hand or each clone has a specific element and together they cast abyss break.

Now the part I like the least: why the hell are Juvia and Wendy there? And where's Gajeel? It's not like he's been camping with a squad waiting to do exactly what team Natsu is doing now right? It was just for conveniency that Wendy stepped on Lucy's fight and had the spell to counter Mary's magic... It's nice to show that they got stronger (Wendy even learn how to activate dragon force am I right?), but it didn't needed to be now IMO. This just makes me more angry at Hiro for bringing two character who weren't even supposed to be aware of what's happening and not Gajeel who's been planing on intervening for some time.

Anyway, looks like Arlock isn't giving a damn bout FT thrashing his army because it's "as he predicted". And what the hell Ikusatsunagi means? And is anyone else suspicious that we haven't see anything of D-6 yet? Hope it's because he's the strongest and can take on Team Natsu with his eyes closed and nothing but his left thumb. Or because he's Makarov, or Franmalth. Anyway I guess this is it. Till next week. Ah, and thanks Mashima for working so hard those weeks. ( ^_^)/
