Mega covered pretty much everything I wanted to say, but I'll say what I was going to anyway.

Hisui is getting bold, which is what she needs. She's doing what everyone's thinking, which is what has to be done, for survival. Also, where is everyone, I mean, seriously? Where the hell is Yukino? Where could you POSSIBLY go that's more important than life or death? And speaking of which, good luck to Mirajane in finding her.

The future doesn't look too bad, except for the fact that almost everybody is dead. ( ._.)

Mashima succeeded in completely screwing with my head: he made my favorite character a total asshole, a complete and total judgmental asshole. Did it REALLY have to come to that? I seriously thought he was talking about Natsu. The whole "It's you" thing had me convinced, but then he threw his little knife and shouted Lucy's name. It's nice to know that Mashima follows a somewhat traditional understanding of the conceived notions of space-time: if the past self perishes, then so does the future self. At that point, Future Lucy had to die. Also, where are your observational skills, Rogue ("There are TWO Lucy's?!"), and did you really think this through? Was killing the only way to stop this from happening?

Future Lucy's death was really sad, I have to say. The whole bit about her hand, and her only wish, it just got to me, and apparently Natsu as well. I won't lie, I'm actually hoping for some Nakama Power this time around. Hiro completely 180'd my favorite character, and pretty much killed off the main character, who is one of my favorites, present and future. This Rogue is NOT cool. He's hot-headed, he's cruel, he's manipulative, and he needs his ass kicked.
