My problem with this whole Anna plot is that in a way it it makes Acnologia and the whole 400 years irrelevant. If you build up something big like everything involving the Dragon Parents and Acnologia you can't simply solve it with an asspull solution brought up by a character introduced in this same arc and whose only thing we know about is that she is Lucy's ancestor. If Acnologia's defeat isn't tied to the Dragonslayers in any way then he might as well not even have existed, and if Acnologia doesn't exist then what's the point of anything that happened 400 years ago?

Also, that brings us to the other point of the chapter that is Neo-Eclipse/Time Lapse. If I could make an analogy of what's happening here I'd say Acnologia is Madara, he can't be beaten and Hiro obviously don't know what to do with him, and as things are like this it's here that Hiro's Kaguya, Neo-Eclipse enters. It's something that had no build up at all, is still supposed to be a credible threat that shifts our attention from the previous mess up but is obviously weaker and narrative wise, worse (I could say Bleach's Gerrard or Yhwach were similar but Kubo couldn't come up with something worse than what he had writen at the time given how far down he had already sank the series at that point). Neo-Eclipse is fated to be yet another inconsistent time travel bullshit, be a disapointment worth of this arc and will end up with an asspull friendship punch of course. I can't see how this series can have a decent finale anymore.
