Well, I can at least give Mashima a little bit of credit for being able to 'play around' with symbolism and tropes, even if the story, the setting, the characters, and their conflicts have to be bent and broken for it.

In another note, it's too bad we didn't get to see what August looked like inside Mavis' womb, and it's likely that we won't even get to see much of what August contributed to the empire, given that Zeref was already able to consolidate territory and subjugate populations pretty much by himself.

As for Acnologia... is he on standby mode or something?
