My first impression of this chapter: STING AND ROGUE ARE A JOKE!!!

Okay, i this chapter was surprisingly good compared to what we've been getting. It looks like Hiro finally remembered that this is supposed to be a war and the enemies are supposed to be a military empire. Finally we see a fontline losing, and in a humiliating way. Maybe the three spriggan there actually remembered that their mission is to conquest Ishgar and did what we expect generals to do in a war. My biggest problem is that there is simply no chance for 5 FT mages to susceed where two whole guilds were uterlly anihilated, and the most agravating factor is that only 2 of those FT mages can be called high tier while the others are mid tier at best (and then we have Lisanna in that stupid bunny form who is trash tier). But what do I hate most of about this? Hiro just implied that if Fairy Tail isn't present the battle is a sure loss for the other guilds.

When I say that Sting and Rogue are a joke I wish I was just exagerating but less and less I find myself saying this with a smile like I used to now I just get a bit angry at this thought. I don't really hate them, I actually expected them to be some good characters for Hiro to work with, but more and more I get the feeling that Hiro do and he does everything he can to make them look bad. He just took out and humilated them in the worst possible way: offscreen. We don't even se them putting up a fight. And the worse is that he just did the same to the rest of Sabertooth, including Minerva, and Blue Pegasus. The last hope I had in them just died out.

I seriously couldn't find logic in that idea Mavis brought up. I don't see how damaging her thought Projection could damage her, nor I know how releasing her body will help because well, it's as dead as an alive person can be. What caught my attention is that it looks like Cana has Fairy Glitter added to her repertoire permanently, or at least I hope she doesn't need Mavis to keep restoring the tatnoo constantly and can use it from her own powers.

I loved the big trolling Hiro just throwed in this chapter. I was raging at the sight of Simon's magic and ready to thorow my best insults at Hiro but then, nope, it's Neinhart's magic. This only proves that long believed theory that Hiro visits this wiki on a regular basis. I've got two things to think about Neihart:


 * How does his magic work besides conuring thought projections related to one's past? If he can summon anyone related to his opponents then he can summon powerhouses like Natsu, Oracion Seis, Kyouka, and if he's really OP one of the seven dragons that came out of Eclipse. I don't think Hiro would go this far but it's always a possibility. Also, can he make his opponents literally relive painfull moments?
 * What's up with his personality? Hiro's been building up him to be a moody, anti-social that does what he want's guy but now it looks like he's a carefree tragedy lover. Did I misinterpret something?

Well, looks like we're going to see the battle in the south before the north one, and to be fair I don't expect much from it. The characters in it don't really interest me that much and it seems that it's gonna be a battle full of forced feels and angst, because that the only thing you can use to counter the OPness of Erza and Jellal and make a seemingly quick battle like the others last more than two chapters. Yeah, not hyped unless he can summon a dragon. See ya.
