User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Chapter 488: The Two of Us, Always, Review/@comment-1359322-20160606134422

I have to say i enjoyed this week's chapter. We got our first casualty from the FT side and it went smoothly. Gajeel's final moment was truly emotional, it made me feel bad for him too especially seeing Lily and Levy cry. That being said though, i'm actually okay with Gajeel's "death" if it is an actual one especially after some Spriggans are killed having zero casualties on the FT's side would hardly made it count as a war but rather a one-sided beating from FT and their allies.

As for Irene challenging Acnologia, will it even end well for her or she'll end up getting the God Serena treatment.

Then there's the negotiation scene in this chapter, Doranbolt you do realize that you just ruined any chance of negotiation with the August you're so scared of yourself and he says Natsu is crazy. >__> It seems like August is aware of Natsu's identity too. Anyhow if August loses in a laughable way after this i don't know what else can potentially improve this arc anymore cause even Acnologia is slightly disappointing with his lack of activities.

Still if Doranbolt can use his memory altering on Brandish why didn't he use it on August instead. Is this some case of reverse stupidity syndrome? Dorandolt somehow ended up with Happy's craze up mind while trying to figure a way out. Either way it feels like Doranbolt's character just got butchered completely thanks to this chapter.
