I suppose Makarov's sacrificial move was relatively nice to see (it doesn't really matter to me if he's just gonna return somehow in a few chapters). Irene once again shows off just how versatile her magic can be, though I would have preferred it if instead of enchanting the soldiers she dis-enchanted the protagonists and their allies.

What ticks me off is August showing up in one little scene after over a month of chilling off-panel, and yet he isn't even shown doing anything significant. I mean, what's left for him to do after this, wait to be defeated in a manner so humiliating and disrespectful that it would make the other defeats and fake deaths look dignified in comparison? Seriously, there are barely any troops left for the 'general' to command, and I'm not optimistic that there would be new kinds of magic left for the 'king of magic' to display...
