No surprise that Natsu is hungry, he has been a bottomless pit at times, and probably hungry for also since it's been a while since he last had a fight.

There is the E.N.D. mention, maybe since 500 is a milestone chapter the reveal might happen.

I like Elfmans new form and it was good to see Sorano & Yukino together again.

Of course the best part was the Gildartz return, he looks pretty badass after the time skip.

It looks like his artificial arm has got an upgrade.

As for next chapter title Forward, maybe the FT and everyone is charging on ahead while Gildartz is fighting God Serena.
