User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Episode 234: Tartarus arc Prologue: The Nine Demon Gates, Review/@comment-5303512-20150523164409

I loved this Episode, the animation was fabulous! My favorite parts are the Explosion of Era and the introduction of the Demon Gates.

Well there was talks of Laxus Getting a bigger role in the arc by the anime team from Hiro but it looks like that is not the case judging from the preview of the next episode,
