Gajeel was also supposed to be dead, so until we 100% confirmation i'm not saying anything. Too much BS happens in FT but either way, Invel is going to get his ass kicked in the next chapter.

I thought Mira should have also died, being pierced in the heart I thought would have been an instant death. Maybe the Tenroujima tree is close enough to everyone now that Mira survived and then Brandish did her thing.

I think this chapter will remind a lot people of Musica & Reina from Rave Master.

I think Invel could reveal that Natsu in END in the next chapter as it's called Fire & Ice or it's just Natsu fighting against Brandish.
