I liked the begginning of the fight, it had a nice dynamic, but then Natsu randomly made the stigma disappear and blocked Sting's Metsuryu Ougi with a single hand. From this point on, it started sucking. Unless Mashima reveals that Natsu's true magic is the power to defy logic, I don't see how that would be possible. FT seem to be dominating the fight right now, but is still really far from a conclusion (at least, I hope so).

Dispite the predictability, Sting and Rogue elements were well done, with Sting having some kind of holy theme added to his basic light (as seem in the stigma thing, that I hope that just disappeared because Sting is saving it for later) and his Houko/laser is kind of homing, while Rogue didn't do anything interesting with his shadows, they look epic, so just standing there with shadows on your back is enough to make it look cool. But that leave me with some concerns about their God Slayer counterparts, I mean, the White God Slayer is going to attack his enemies with black white magic? And how will Shadow God Slayer will be graphically different from Shadow Dragon Slayer?

Well, next week seems to be Sting's flashback, which I couldn't care less. It will only be Mashima failing hard at trying to make someone like Sting. Now, I've just read what I wrote before posting and got me thinking "Wow! What a wall of text! Too bad probably no one will read until the end ".
