Okay, while reading the first time this chapter was okay to good but the revelation at the last page made me rage, it's too convenient, fanservicey and completelly eliminate any sense of sacrifice of her act back in the GMG. Rereading and reading coments from various people made me think I should wait till next week to see what'll happen and how Hiro plans on explaining this but if I was him I'd better stay away from time related stuff after this, it's just not his thing. To be fair most of the explanations I found may fit in the current context but open holes in the narative of other arcs.

I like that Crime Sorciere is back now instead of only showing up in the most crucial, convenient time of need, also I hope the rest of them is headed to the other battlefields, expecially the north one which is IMO the one who needs help the most. On the Jellal conveniently being there for Erza though, it looks like a cheap way to promote shipping and drama to me. "I've come here to defeat Zeref", says the guy who headed to the exact oposite site of the continent where Zeref is. Also, Jelllal being there reduces his chance to fight August, which leaves us with Gildarts as his most probable enemy.

I also like that Mavis is unsure on how to deal with things regarding Zeref. She hasn't sent any because she knows it'd be futile, but because of this he is more and more close to FH.

The other thing that bothered me a bit in this chapter and has been in most of this war is that Hiro seem to have given up on introducing more Alvarez characters. We had Marin and he was great IMO because he was just that strong yet wasn't a Spriggan, but now he got conveniently abandoned and it looks like the only strong guys in the army are the 12 wich to me reduces the threat to the good guys because the other X millions of enemies they are fighting are just fodder. See the four guys "introduced" this chapter, they were the elite of Neinhart's army and got one shotted simply like that. This may just be me nitpicking though.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter we can have a proper explanation of this chapter's twist. Also, we'll have some background on Dimaria probably and I liked because to me she's the second Spriggan I'm most interested in after August.
