Emphasis on the word eventually. The Spriggans have been hyped to the max, and so far the only one of them that actually had a remotely satisfying battle was Ajeel. Mashima isn't exactly known for his long drawn out battles, and I'm fine with that. However, a Spriggan not only being one shotted, but being one shotted in a "fight" that only lasted a chapter is just bad writing imo.

Also, the length of the fight might not have bothered me so much if the way he was defeated wasn't so dull and iffy.
