First of all, did anyone else try reading this chapter while listening to this? I did and it felt strangely amazing.

This chaper was surprisingly good. Ajeel is down for now but I liked it because the way he lost didn't kill the hype of the Spriggans IMO. I mean, he actually defeated Erza and would have won if not for his mandatory villain arrogance. I'm starting to believe he wasn't kidding when he said that he could take on FT alone (ok maybe I'm going too far here) as I believe he wasn't even using his full power. The only thing I didn't like is that this chapter cemented him as Jackal 2.0. You know what? I'm starting to want to see Invel in action as it seems that he's the most non-nonsense of the 12. Would like to see him taking FT members out while they try to get some Nakama speech boost.

The fact that Ajeel needed to take a full Jupiter to the face and Nakagami Starlight, that is supposed to be Erza's last resort proves that the Spriggan aren't all hype like some thought. I wonder how the others will be taken down as Jupiter is out for other 15 minutes and there's only one Nakagami Armor out there and it's user is out of combat for the mean time (though it would be amazing if Di Maria had another Nakagami then Hiro would have to bring Minerva to the fight because of her "counter" to it. Hiro pls).

All in all just hope the two of them stay out for some time but would like to see Ajeel come back after a while even if just to stall FT for a while. Erza on the other hand would be fine if she stayed out indefinitely as a non-BS fight for her is the best way to leave the war. But who am I kidding right?

"Weakness" is probably a reference Wahl and his negation magic I guess. He'll probably pull the cliche'd "Every magic/jutsu/deck/team/fighter/super-robot has a weakness" and start beating the Strauss plus Gruvia. Alternativelly it's just another vilain boast about how Fairy Tail is weak compared to the empire and someone will retort with a speech about frienship making them strong. Anyway, best Erza (or maybe FT?) fight in a long time, hope Hiro can keep up the quality.
