If they really wanted to kill themselves, why did they stab themselves through the stomach instead of heart, lung, neck or a variety of other places that kill you faster, more reliable and less painfully?

It'd have been both tragic and... kind of hilarious if Invel had just frozen their wounds over to stop them from bleeding to death and they had been forced to fight it out after all.

But nevermind the nitpicking. I'm glad that instead of weasleing out, Mashima went for it this time, even if it'll almost asuredly turn out to be just a temporary death like with Gajeel. I just hope it won't happen right in the next chapter, because then it really would be totally meaningless.

Though I wonder how Mashima will bring her back. Maybe Brandish will enlarge the water that Juvia poured into Gray to a degree that Juvia can form a new body out of it.

I'd be funny of they took a que from Fate Stay Night or Elfenlied and build her an artificial body that those remnants that are currently in Gray could inhabit and control to live an almost normal life. ^^
