The Watson role fits Lucy well. We see things through her point of view rather than her being somebody significant. It's nice and one of the few things I like about her. Which is why I really hope Layla has no importance to plot.

Liked how we were shown Lucy's book before she started talking about death flags. Nice reminder that she is an author, so knows all about death flags.

Erza and Wendy scene would have been really nice if it had been less fanservicey. I really hate all the skinship and nude bonding in FT. >.> Still, it was nice. Erza's relation with people like Wendy and Juvia has always been well written.

Well, unless one of those two dies, Gruvia is pretty much confirmed, right? Really sad about that, easily the worst ship in the series. Still, I can hope that he will reject her and turn her over to Lyon or something. Maybe nice Lyvia developments in this arc? One can hope. ._./

Still, one can take Gray's statement positively. "Let me focus for now." Maybe Mashima's way of saying that this arc will have zero Gruvia, with Juvia actually having an awesome battle which will make me like her again. (/*^*)/ That wouldn't make Gruvia any less pathetic though. >.>

And ... that's a death flag Gray set, right? RIGHT? Please let him die! PWEASE! A gory death with a lot of pain and suffering in front of his friends! *hugs self*

Warren is cool. \( ^_^)/

Mavis' strategies still nothing but hand-waving. >.>

Fav part of Chapter easily Natsu's speech. /o/
