Initially, I was alright with the chapter since Natsu actually didn't defeat Franmalth and then I realized that didn't matter for long. I think it's sad now that rather than judging Fairy Tail on how good it is, it's gotten to a point where it gets judged for how bad it isn't. As such, since there's nothing all that good about this chapter besides the last 2 pages, I'm pretty disappointed.

Yeah, the Erza-nude part was and has been nonsense. It's fanservice through and through. If Mashima were a more serious mangaka, we wouldn't feel that way but he has only himself to blame for readers not taking things seriously. Think about the phrase "Sex sells" and then ask "If you're using "sex sells" as a concept to get your product sold, what exactly does that say about your product?"
