 * D :D :D :D Totally on board with you, Misk.

So, the resolution to Irene's story was acceptable. The concept is good, the execution could've been better, but then again, this is a manga, not a french existentialist depression novel, so maybe this is as much characterization as we can expect.

I'm even content power level wise: the suicide is a nice way to end Irene's threat. She is defeated, yet we still can say that nobody really beat her. With this, I can say that (unlike the majority of the wiki) I liked this fight all the way through. Good setup with the villain, some lorebuilding (DS magic), some (okay, a bit forced) connection, a nice, rare teamup (Wendy-Erza), a creative spice in the middle (the body switches), and an acceptable resolution. Of course, it is not perfect, but if all the Spriggan fights were like this, this arc could've been much better.

It is a pity we've never seen what happened to the meteor. It's strange to retcon something big like that in a single chapter, or maybe it was solved off-screen, I don't know what are you talking about SHUTTHEFUCKUP I don't know what happened to the meteor IHAVE'NTSEENTHATBULLSHIT. Let me dream. Okay? Thanks. :D
