Those consolatory and conciliatory points being said, AUGUST TAKEN DOWN IN AN UNDERWHELMING FASHION STILL DOESN’T MAKE MUCH SENSE. I mean, even if he can’t directly copy holder magic, he could have at least unleashed a barrage of other copy moves to repel Cana and Gildarts. What about God Serena (and his four unseen elements) ‘being with’ August, or that talk about the mother defeating Zeref’s child? What about the unseen repertoire of spells that he has supposedly mastered (via osmosis and mimesis)? And I really don’t see why others have not been able to uncover or even just guess the secret, and yet August carelessly allowed Gildarts to figure it out by not using simple tricks to hide his modus operandi… Come to think of it, August’s downfall is even worse than the plot twist that took out Madara and reduced the Infinite Tsukuyomi scheme to a fantasy version of the Matrix.

Oh, and poor Larcade. The alternative facts given by this chapter really make a lot of previous revelations and inferences look like a bunch of disinformation and fake news. I can only wish that the next chapter would give us a decent enough flashback.

That will be it for now. Maybe after this I’ll be tuning in to funeral music as a sign of mourning
