I now see why people were complaining about spoilers for this chap :P

As I mentioned before, I've changed my perspective when viewing these chapters and the way I saw it, Mashima just had a bunch of fight-inserts to facilitate the badass entrance of the original CS members with dashes of cliche comedy, cliche scenes and cliche monologue here and there. This really was just a set-up and carried little thematic weight because you can just throw the Kagura trauma subject into the next chapter.

I do admit that I'm peeved by Ultear's appearance, but hey, it was awesome and Ultear(especially with the anime backstory included) is an amazing character so restricting her to nude appearances in Gray's mind wouldn't have cut it for the Jap fanbase. I'm still wondering if there will be a troll and Ultear is still an old woman. XD If you think about it, Mashima can't just kill her off now. Once is okay for Gray's development but twice? Hell no. Maybe in RAVE but not in FT. So we'll see a touching scene eventually. Really want to see that. :)
