I hate this chapter.


 * 1) Why did Lucy need to be stripped? Okay scratch this one... fanservice. Any nobody has been stripped for 20+ chapters so... Mashima I guess.
 * 2) Where did the blood on Lucy come from? All that Dimaria had were some scratches and a lot of burn marks? Scratches on her knees mind you! How did the blood splash from Dimaria's knees into Lucy's face? oO
 * 3) Why was there blood only on Lucy's eyes and nowhere else?

And why didn't Mashima just go for it anyway? We've seen from Erza that Porly can replace eyes and apparently the artificial eyes are even superior to natural ones, considering that Erza doesn't seem to have any downsides, but get's improved resistance or even outright immunity to certain visual kinds of magic.

Don't even get me started on Gray. He was utterly unsurprised about Natsu's appearance, which means he most likely swallowed Invel's story wholesale and didn't have a shred of doubt that maybe this enemy who just tried to have him and Juvia kill each other might be lying to him to turn him against yet another ally.

Nope, totally trustworthy person there. Why would he lie? Arg...
