That would be correct if it only applied to Jellal. But it obviously doesn't. Other characters have healed and went onto other battles in that "not even 3 hours " time period. I'm just saying that "Jellal and Co can't fight because they are wounded" is a completely BS point considering characters with worse conditions went onto other battles in a much shorter time frame.

You have no idea about Jellal's eyes situation. It might have been temporary,it might have been fixed by basic intervention...For all we know,Mashima can have Angel or Meredy or another character do something to fix them. And If I recall correctly,Meredy helped with Natsu when F!Rogue wounded him. Who is to say she won't have her first aid kit with her? And who is to say that Jellal can't fight in a blind state with help from his team as his eyes (Cobra would be perfect for that role) ?

My point isn't "Jellal is coming,he's on his way!" I'm just saying that "Jellal is wounded and blind,so he won't come" is just as likely as him coming in..There's no need to make a meaningless bullettin list.

I personally think Mard is very similar to Jellal and their motive are the same. Heck,with Mard undoing his EF and talking about defeating Zeref all of a sudden....it just looks like a way to create a scene where Jellal can enter. I might be the only one,but this sounds incredibly likely to me. Gray and Natsu will most likely face E.N.D since this is an arc with the two of them in the main focus.....so having them beat Mard as well as the FV seems kinda unlikely.
