User blog comment:Derax-Pagani/Fairy Tail Chapter 494: The Hill Extending Towards Tomorrow Review/@comment-24277053-20160716214432

So looks like we are the climax of this arc, the battles are set, the setting is set, everyone is going to be gathered in one place, this is going to be cool.

I do have to question Zeref strategy, gather everyone in one place, divide and conquer was working for them, why change now.

And what they did to Mavis, that really pissed me off, I hope Gray just destroys that Invel guy. How dare he do that to Mavis, though Mavis thoughts being out of wack, that is a way to keep Zera in the story longer, so maybe this will backfire, maybe Zera can do some ghost like action.

If I can predict some of the match ups.

Gray vs Invel

Gajeel and Zera vs Neinhart and the dead members of the Spriggen.

Lucy vs Demaria, obvious they are going there with what we saw this chapter, Demaria does care about Brandish, and so does Lucy, so the battle for Brandish. That sounds dirtier than it should.

Natsu vs Larcade

And going to be team ups against August and Irene, they should not be fought one on one.

Random thought, because of her own bad experience, Demaria is under the impression Fairy Tail tortured and hurt Brandish when she was a prisoner, while Fairy Tail did treat her well, so in other words because of Lama Scale, she thinks Fairy Tail torture their prison, thinks a lot Lamia Scale, especially the old bat of a guild master, Lamia Scale you are just as helpful as Mest. Maybe after Mest is kicked out of Fairy Tail, maybe he can join Lamia Scale. I love Lyon and especially Sheria, but the rest of them different story.

Anyway I am excited, looks like we are headed towards the climax of this arc, though Acnlogia can show up at anytime and he is going to be pissed. That could be how August and Irene are defeated.
