Due to Minerva's vastly unknown power (with like 18 battle gods or something) I think she's only shown us a few of her abilities: the ability to warp/teleport things, the ability to... well use a "liquidy-solid" as Raven so eloquently put it, as well as the ability to release energy blasts(?). In the Naval Battle, as well as her YAGDO RIGORA makes me think it might be energy blasts (or just energy), but it might also just be her liquidy solid used as blunt force, but there was a flash of light (I think) so probably pure energy/magic power. Also, she might be able to block attacks? I mean she stopped Natsu and Jiemma from attacking each other with her weird energy thingy, so that's either teleporting the spell away from them or creating an actual barrier. Which leaves like 14 gods minimum to play around with. However, the point of this is, what if one of her abilities allows her to temporarily take the magic of whomever is held captive in her liquidy solid? Then she could bind both Kagura and Erza with Millianna's nekosutso tube, and gain at least 7 points (depending on whether or not Erza is FT's captain) for sabre-tooth, both putting them in the lead, as well as taking out two power-houses from the competition.

I don't think that'll happen because even though it'd be cool, I'd hope that Kagura and (I know that) Erza will probably put up a fight against my theory; as in, using their swords to cut through the nekosutso tube. But it'd be a nice attempt on Minerva's part, and it was something that hasn't been said yet :p

ANYWAYS. I really liked this fight, but it seemed kind of... predictable, I mean just them attacking each other head on (Erza not even re-quipping) and just being a push and pull battle of getting hit and taking a hit. And then everything changed when the Fire Nation- I mean Minerva attacked with her explosive spell thingimajiger.

I'm hoping that Kagura might un-sheath her sword, but that's for Jellal, not Minerva or Erza lol Though, seeing something other than swordplay from Kagura would also be nice, because she's a freaking mage, using a sword in a mission might be fine, but you need some magikz against other mages, especially an S-class one and the daughter of ST's previous scary-as-hell guildmaster (because apparently magic runs in people's family tree or something....).

I want to think that Kagura was just a Tower of Heaven slave, but I think that's been done enough; Jellal probably destroyed her hometown or something... but the thing is that Kagura doesn't look too old (maybe between 17-23?), and whatever Jellal would've done had to have happened somewhere between 7-14 years ago, not leaving much space for Kagura to even remember anything that happened to her. So I'm guessing she found out what Jellal did to her in the 7 year gap? And then because she never got the "why" it happened or even that Jellal was in prison, it allowed her to foster her hate for him? Iunno ._.

Future Lucy, right. WELL. That's SOOOOOOOOOOOO unexpected; ermahgerd. I'm hoping that she will work with current Lucy and Yukino and open Half the Zodiac Gates at once to fight something LOL That'd just be too awesome, plus Loke would get to go "Futago Rushiii! <3" again lol

Um... yeah pretty good chapter, wanted more fight from Kagura, maybe see more depth into her backstory or character profile, maybe Erza will finally re-quip and maybe we'll finally understand Minerva's power because it's been a mystery since she freaking appeared.
