So I actually didn't make the connection between the tentacle monster at all until I read this, and now that it's pointed out, it does seem a little excess to me. But I actually liked that Mashima put the emphasis on Natsu's punches and Franmalth basically came out uninjured and just shook everything off. Silver was the shining point, he's probably Gray's father, blah blah blah. Everyone said everything below me, so I'm not really going to repeat much.
