Well a straight forward chapter dealing with the aftermath of the death of Makarov, and I think it is for real, and I never bought into Gajeel and especially Juvia's death, I knew they would be back, but this time it is for real.

We see everyone breaking down, even Mavis who last chapter was much called heartless by Makarov, and who comes to her aid Laxus, dam he is a softie now. I hate to see what the old Laxus would do in that situation.

The Natus and Gray battle continues, a battle which in peace time okay, but in war time it is just stupid. These idiot are losing their minds. We see the fight drag for pages, it would look great in the anime I am sure of it.

And I said a couple of chapters ago, Erza is not going to stop them this time and I still stand by that if she tried to stop them a couple of chapters ago, but Makarov's death gave her a emotional powerup, so I will allow it, though I am sure people will still complain.

The fight had to be stopped some way, and they didn't go the predictable route of Lucy and Juvia showing up alive, and them coming to their senses, that would be so predictable and cliche, I am glad they didn't do that. It is kind of ironic, Natsu and Gray over a couple of fake deaths, while Erza stopped them with the power of a real death.

Next chapter is titled "Voice", well I don't think it will be a singing contest.
