I don't have much to say about this chapter other than it was pretty well done~! I liked how Hiro didn't make Tempesta the loser, but at the same time he didn't name Laxus the winner. Keeps you wondering. I read the chapter on MangaPanda, and their translation was a bit different from MS, but when Reli told me about the "one of my lives blah blah blah" part, I just had to look at MS' and I actually think it would make sense. Tempesta, Calamity, Immortal. Rather than different personas or appearances per say, I think each name has a different Magic or ability(?) Calamity is the Wind user, and Immortal is the one whom he is able to regenerate as and lose lives to become stronger. Tempesta is just his name.

When I saw this I thought, "OMG Yes! Killing Laxus would be such a great story development!" And I kinda felt sorry for all I said about his character last week when I saw what he did (but I still dislike his recent fight entrances). What really irritated me was that he was acting sooo out of character.

I don't have anything against Natsu announcing the war, but it's just so GH it makes me want to choke Hiro to death. Remember how on the island the Faeries' Magic is amplified? Well, yeah. They were still losing and had to resort to plot Magic and misleading situations. I hope this arc does not end or start like this. Fairy Tail terribly losing, then Natsu gives everyone hope. Just no, no.

When Freed asked Makarov about the village...that was sad. But I love it. Hiro's using his dark side plots. More than 100 people dead?? Before, not even a bird would be named dead. >_>

One thing that REALLY disappointed me this week however was the cover. Hiro... So much that I just wanted to burn Hiro's house down and search for the cover (on Twitter he twitted that he had, like, 5 chapters ready) around his house/work place. ಠ_ಠ
