The problem for me is not if it is or not the last Arc, but I feel like the story it is rushed if it really is the Last Arc. Mashima should take some time to fill the plot holes before last battle approches. Or this may be proposital and the Last villain of FT is not Zeref himself but is The God Ankhseram.
