We all know that sooner or later, Erza is gonna put on the Flame Pants and Boom! Cuts down Ajeel with her sword fueled by Nakama Pawa! At least his sand neutralizes her Requip for a moment. Ajeel's squad looks interesting since they're the second ones that didn't get OHKOed since Marin Hollow of Brandish Squad, hope to see more of her squad.

Wahl Icht and his Squad had breached Freed's Dark Ecriture. I sense that Jet is gonna ask Droy if that's his long lost relative lol. Lisanna is bound to be dragging Mira and Elfman down probably... or not.

Damn, Brandish since when did you get interested in Lucy's bathroom? Seriously, they never even talked to each other since first meeting at Caracol Island. What does she mean "You left a rather deep impression."? It sounds like a foreshadowing.

The other members of the Spriggan 12 seemed to be busy dealing with the other countries such as Bosco that Mashima had intended not to explore in the story and focuses on Fiore altogether. I often wonder why always Fiore and not other countries for more interesting arcs until Veronica in FT movie and the Alvazrez Empire from the Western Continent? No offense.

It would also be a wonderful opportunity for Mashima to introduce a roster of new badass characters from Ishgar's other countries and get involved in this Alvarez Empire arc just like Oda did in Dressrosa arc of One Piece.
