Yep..... I was right. Since Irene is a parent of one of the main FT characters, it's typical that death was imminent for her; Natsu's, Gray's, Lucy's, and now Erza's parents are all dead. I can accept that for some strange reason.

However, destroying the meteorite (the fragments of which are conveniently scattered in directions where they wouldn't hurt the allied forces because when you look at its flight path it's highly unnatural and defies the laws of physics) in Erza's given state, affixing her position thereafter to perform a downward slash with such force, and that headbutt which caused Irene to cough off so much blood, are things that I won't accept under logical reason and will accept as a situation similar to Madara Uchiha: "Hiro wrote himself into a corner yet again".

I've gotta stop caring for a series I've dropped harder than a rapper's new mixtape. Also, Irene's death was pathetic to me; she was nakama-fied at the last moment, which led to her committing suicide. A great waste of potential. At least the shitfest of a fight is laid to rest and people get to see what happens to Natsu in the next chapter, going by its title.
