Okay finish reading the chapter on stream so here goes.

The good:
 * 1) FACE being destroyed by the Dragons. I don't know about others but seeing the size of FACE, it's larger than a mountain and seeing how the Mages are losing their magic, i'll call it BS if normal mages can destroy FACE. Seriously Wizard Saint class or not, mages being able to destroy FACE is pure BS. So i'll applaud Mashima on that.
 * 2) Tension between Natsu and Gray. This isn't the usual them fighting between stupid issues type of tension, but actual tension that can outburst into a serious battle between those two. If Natsu turns out to be END, i get the feeling Gray might not even hold back to destroy Natsu.
 * 3) Blue Pegasus, no it's not them, it's Christina. Using the Christina to show FACE's power is a smart move, it also shows how powerful the Dragons are.
 * 4) Perhaps the only point i'm glad of, Acnologia actually falling after we saw the human mages lose their magic, it creates a proper reason for Acnologia's defeat.
 * 5) The Dragons finally appears, after so many chapters, we finally see the Dragons appear and do something. And it's something that properly demonstrated their strength, unlike the time in the GMG.

The bad:
 * 1) We still didn't get to see what Lumen Histoire can do. One step too late. Hopefully we'll still get to see what LH does, and from the title for next chapter, we might.
 * 2) Sting and Rogue's Dragon being alive. Thanks for the plot twist again Mashima, i'm guessing you can't fix your mind on whether you want someone/thing to stay dead or alive. >____>
 * 3) Igneel defeats Acnologia, while i have no issues on that, we literally know nothing about what happen, i'm guessing Mashima doesn't know how to do the fight so he just decided to show the wounds instead. ( .__.)

Overall it's a chapter with more good than bad in plot-wise, but there's a lot to feel about how thing went, there's a lot of space for improvement after all.
