Not sure about others, but I personally liked the chapter. First off, i'm glad that Sting and Rogue reappeared, at least we don't have to worry about Natsu soloing Mard for the time being, can't speak for the future. And Acnologia actually talked. At least now we know he's not mindless and can still talk. Kinda nice to see that he has acknowledge Igneel as a worthy opponent. Well I guess it's like Zeref said, Acnologia views humans as vermin. Back to Mard vs Natsu and Twin Dragon. You know sometimes I wonder if Natsu is stupid or just stubborn. He says he'll beat Mard on his own, yet when Sting tricked him into a “match” to see who can beat Mard first, surprisingly Natsu can do proper teamwork with them. Something he can't seem to do with Gray and Gajeel yet he can do it with the Twin Dragons. Get your priorities right Natsu or maybe you should just quit FT and join another guild that way your teamwork with FT might improve drastically.

And Mard became angry, so he can show some other emotion too not just randomly smirking all the time. The last page though really made me think Mard looks gay for the first time. >__>

Overall after the travesty of last week's chapter, I suppose this week's chapter is back to normal. And with this chapter, i've reached a conclusion that Erza is starting to become an even worse character than Natsu. While I don't hate Natsu, I'm not really his fan either and I usually am not so interested in Natsu's fight which I consider to be cliché so I rarely compliment a chapter on him. Yet now i'm liking a Natsu-related chapter and really hated Erza's chapter last week. And no offence to any Jerza fans, but I personally am against Jerza right now. Even if Jellal appear and have a touching moment with Erza, i'll probably be more annoyed by that rather than pleased since it'll be some poor, terrible and cheap way of trying to please the fans and try to make Erza likeable again which would just irritate me even more since it won't be solving the issue where Erza is becoming more and more plain, boring and terrible as a character to the point where Natsu is better than her.

Hopefully next week's chapter will be nice cause i'm definitely looking forward to next week's chapter, very curious to who the girl in the crystal is. Is it Mavis, Zeira or someone else, maybe the new important character Mashima mentioned in his twitter that will appear in FT0.
