Jutsu Shiki doesn't work using MBP, Laxus created a barrier which can be nullified by using an MBP nullifier... is how I understand it anyway.

It's explosive lightning, not blood lightning. .-. The lightning component might not do much to Wahl, but the explosion component would be devastating. Especially considering Laxus is no longer hindered by MBP. And we already saw that Wahl was not really just shrugging off Laxus' lightning attacks, which means that, while the element might not do much, the enhanced brute strength was still formidable even compared to the Shield of Spriggan. I wouldn't put it past a completely restored Laxus using a huge attack whose main purpose is explosive force to take down Wahl who is suffering from an error (a turnabout of their conditions, if you will). Certainly better than Gajeel simply bypassing Torafuzar's 'unrivaled' physical defense by just using a stronger physical attack anyway. >.>

At least Laxus defeating Wahl is fine considering Wahl himself admitted that current Laxus has the capability. I'm going to be so depressed when the team which got flattened by Bluenote defeats Dimaria. D:
