One ... strange ... thing about this arc, two of the most OP villains got very convenient opponents. Nobody in FT, except Mira, has a chance against Sayla. By the time we got to Silver, there was nobody left who could defeat him (and I like to dream that nobody short of Gildarts, maybe not even him, or Makarov could defeat the guy, he did freeze a village of giants and the unconscious spirit of Atlas Flame, you know, not to mention his 'fight' against Natsu), so he got pitted against the only guy he'd voluntarily lose to.

Whatever you say, Mega, Natsu is jumping into all the fights. Though I'm 99% certain he's gonna get curbstomped in this one; I think Mard was just surprised here. I really hope Gray doesn't interfere in this one, that it's either the Twin Dragons or somebody else, hopefully Jellal.

If Jellal appears, I'm almost 90% certain he's going to die ... \(^_^)/

/me agrees completely with Sapphire, this arc has a respectable amount of development for supporting characters.

... Now I just hope Gray doesn't start jumping into each and every battle. >.> Though not seeing him for some chapters makes me hope that Silver has given him some plan ...
