This is the controversial battle that made the Fairy Tail community explode, so what of it. First of all let me talk about strictly about the anime adaption. As usual it does a great job on making the chapters come to life, and was more enjoyable than in the manga.

We saw more of the dragons which is always a plus. And still nothing is scary than all the Lammys.

Now as for the Erza vs Kyouka fight, I don't hate it as much as everyone seems to. Did Hiro make Kyouka too OP yes, did he fail to give a proper explanation of how Erza was able to overcome losing her sense and such and win, yup.

It is a shame because there were reasons in place that they could have used, like Erza fake eye, I know that has saved her before, but that could have been used, or the explanation I would have gone for, her experience at the Tower of Heaven, toughen her so much that nothing Kyouka could do could top that experience.

And Minerva gave the finishing blow, she was there simply so Erza would not bloody her hands, which I think is unnecessary, why can't anyone from Fairy Tail kill someone, but I can excuse that with Erza in that, she has this thing with Jellal in which she has never soil herself with darkness while Jellal has his hands covered with blood, so to keep that going, Erza can't kill.

On the other hand, it does give Minerva something to do, and she actually did something to contribute to her redemption, which up to this point all she has done is be a victim to be pitied.

But it is too late Face is activated, what will happen now? We will find out, next week Natsu gets some help from Sting and Rogue against Mard Guille, while the fight between the dragons continue.
