TOO MUCH FAN SERVICE!!! Though there may be signs that this is the last of the fan service (to the extreme that is) since its been said by even the characters that its getting old so maybe this is Hiro Mashima saying that he will stop doing it so much and focus on the story. Also he probably wanted to go out in a bang when it came to fan service if this is his last pure fan service chapter.
