R.I.P. Jackal. You will be missed? Maybe.

To be honest, Jackal seemed such an awesome character (although I may be biased because of his intro and curses) but unfortunately he got owned by Natsu's Nakama Magic. This now puts me in doubt as to whether or not he actually is part of the Nine Demon Gates or just a special member of Tartarus.

And Jackal is no Tempesta so I highly doubt he'll be still alive and reforming at Tartarus HQ after turning himself into a bomb.

Speaking of turning himself into a bomb, how the hell did Happy survive that explosion? >_>
