User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Chapter 419: The Message of Fire, Review/@comment-3271746-20150211202829

I really loved the chapter! I know it was very predictable and all but I think that this arc would be a nice break from all the action, as well as Mashima's way of wiping the slate clean before the final battle (against Zeref) ensues.

Also, it just felt nostalgic how the second to the last page (the one where Natsu asks Lucy to come with them: http://www.mangareader.net/fairy-tail/419/18) mirrors one of the last pages in the first chapter (the one where Natsu asks Lucy to come with them to Fairy Tail: http://www.mangareader.net/135-7116-75/fairy-tail/chapter-1.html)

With that said, this may be my most favorite chapter in a while and among my favorites in the entire series. Rating: 10/10
