I'm now convinced that Hiro has no idea how to write a war arc. This has been the most one sided war that I have ever seen and there has been no tension whatsoever. Like seriously Hiro should have made it 6 spriggans instead of 12 and have the spriggans be like the generals then he should have had lower ranking but still very powerful soldiers like the captains, majors, sergeants, colonels, etc. That way everyone would get a chance to shine and this would feel like an actual war instead of a continent vs 12 people battle with the 12 people who have been hyped up to be the strongest opponents ever being defeated faster and easier than any other enemy in the series. Hiro should have never done this war arc at all because it's clear he has not done any proper planning for it. There was no proper build up to this war it was just rushed right into now Hiro is rushing through it. At the beginning of this arc I was hoping we'd see Ishgar and Alvarez both prepare for the war and set up some strategies get organized like they did in naruto and in one piece. I really hope Hiro turns this around because the way this arc has been going recently this arc could potentially become the worst arc in fairy tail and quite possibly one of the worst war arcs in history. It sucks because this war had so much potential and it could have been on some marineford level of epicness but like usual Hiro has wasted the potential of an arc that could have been amazing.
