I really like how all my expectations of this arc being slightly enjoyable have been completely destroyed by this chapter. It feels like it's taking everything bad out of the Grand Magic Games (short and disappointing battles, supposedly strong characters being defeated in short amounts of time in unsatisfying ways, little or bad character development and there are probably a lot more but I digress) and tries to make us take it seriously by introducing a darker tone, with the deaths of the council members dying and with the added threat to the characters’ lives with the introduction this new and "powerful" enemy which is derived from the largest and most powerful evil in the manga's universe, but quickly forgets that darker tone in the series when Hiro pulls off a godforsaken piece of dumb ass shit like this chapter.
