Wow, Mashima would be great with emotional scenes... if his pathetic writing didn't desensitize me from anything and everything, not to mention the dollops of hypocrisy that accompany any and all philosophies he tries to present.

While poor Lucy and Happy are bawling their eyes out, I'm just wondering how many more fake deaths Mashima is going to cram into the next few Chapters.

While everybody is talking about how precious Jellal's life is, I'm wondering why Ichiya's isn't... Or Mavis' when compared to Fullbastard's... oh, yeah, ships. Zeref was going to die anyway, so Mavis obviously has to, while Jellal and Fullbastard... can't.

Fullbastard, the Water Whore has put your life in danger twice, consistently refused to listen to your complaints regarding her clinginess and, if not for her presence (although granted this one thing is not her fault), the battle against Invel would have been very different. The only thing you owe her is a hatchet to her skull when she can't use Water Body. The ones you actually owe apologies to are Laxus, Erza, Wendy, TGT, Natsu. You didn't have your priorities straight during the war, at least get them straight now. e_e

Meh, at least it's good to know that he can be written out of the story post-Tenrou with minimal changes. Ultear kills Gray and then gets her Ur-epiphany after realizing how empty revenge feels. Silver defects and kills Mard. ENatsu kills Invel. Meanwhile, released from the shackles of Gruvia, Juvia becomes a badarse trio with Cana and Lucy. I'll go with that. /o/
