Oh, regarding Neinhart's fall. Hiro just solved the issue where he powerscaled Fairy Tail too much compared to the other guilds by having Neinhart run into Natsu. That way, Minerva and Rogue, who are getting decimated by weaker Historias nonetheless, don't lose, and Natsu could give a friendship speech. Two birds, one pathetic, worthless, irritating, mind-numbing, ridiculous, bullshit stone. Basically, even he knows he fucked up somewhere along the line. Hence why he admitted that Jacob was a disappointment because he forgot that Jacob arriving at Fairy Tail would coincide with Natsu's own return.
