Well, Neinhart... got defeated too quickly, but other than that, the good overshadows the bad. Lucy actually effectively using her star dresses was already a big plus. To see her use it in such a sequence, and performance of power was awesome. I love seeing her growth. That being said, if she beat Brandish... there'd be a problem. Thank god, Mashima doesn't BS his way through Lucy fights :D. Now then, I wonder if Brandish will get up, and have some kind of counter (or anyone in that matter) for Dimaria. I'd love to see more of Brandish now. I wouldn't mind something like her simply closing her own wounds, quickly shrinking Dimaria/ and or enlarging herself and sending her flying. Orrr she could beat her with friendship... lol. Great chapter overall 8.5/10 for me.
