Morning all =D smelly chapter and it's late release (my time)

Well, to tell you the truth, I liked the battle. I employed a simple strategy of mine that works rather well. You simply expect Mashima to come out with the worst battle ever, so then whatever does happen automatically beats your expectations.

I thought it was going to suck, so what actually happened was more than my expectations and as such, I enjoyed it... pessimism strategy FTW!! ...I did enjoy seeing Elfman's new Take-Overs :D Specially the scaly one. And yes, I agree that him winning through actually being smart beats nakama power any day. And Bacchus falling...couldn't care less, though I did think a tie would have been more appropriate in this situation, but whatever.

And Arcadios...?? Hmmmm, well, trying to blame Raven Tail is a great idea...at least the guy has a brain. I haven't read Naruto so Eclipse Plan doesn't remind me of much. A huge Magical array...buildings collapsing... needing Lucy... hmmmm, I'll have to think of a theory for this *think think think*
