Eh... Angel as the spy, cool, ok. Angel reminding Lucy of her past, cool. Weird-as personality, eh, not too crazy about.

Now for the elephant in the room. Zeref is Spriggan. I'm sorry, what? That to me makes absolutely no sense what so ever. The only upside I see to this is Zeref's plan to wipe out humanity; make Alvarez and Ishgar wipe each other out.

Now before I get accused of doing a DLZ, just want to point out, I enjoy FT, it's my favourite manga series, but this revelation just brings up far too many plot holes out with regards to the first half of the series. How on Earth did Grimoire Heart and Tartaros not think to travel the entirety of Earthland as they clearly had the means to when searching for Zeref? Secondly, all the hype about God Serena going over to Alvarez as a traitor just now all seems wasted. What's the top wizard saint going to do when he finds out that Spriggan is Zeref; Ishgar's number 1 enemy? Also, why is Zeref so revered by the people of Albareth when in order for them to be in such close proximity to him; he has to forget the value of life; something he killed Hades for making him do. Furthermore, if Alvarez is so large, surely there'll be some baron places for him to go to if he wants to remember the value of life, so why the fuck was he on Tenrou Island?

Whilst this revelation hasn't been favourable with me, I will continue to read FT and enjoy it, but this to me is just poor Hiro. Not impressed.
