FINALLY!!!! Errr *cough* I mean, wow it was about time for Levy to show up. For some reason since the start of the series she was my favorite female, an I always thought she needed a moment to trully shine as she has so much unused potential. I'm really happy to see her doing something of true importance once but at the same time I'm a bit worried. I'll explain it but first the other points of the chapter.

Let's see, first we see something I've been saying since CSK vs Marde Geer. Why the hell is Lucy still on the ground? Why don't she try to leave or someone come to take her to a safe place? Now she knows what happens when you stay so close to the cross fire, you get caught in a tsunami of evil poisonous black water, wich I must say is really cool and would be even cooler if Torafusa's body wasn't so ridiculous.

Okay, by page order we get: LEVY! Double Lariat! Flameless Natsu! "You have five minutes", action, Gajeel using his shadow cleverly, and getting beaten. Wow! it's been a while since so many exciting things happened in a single chapter, hope Natsu stays like that for at least five chapters. o)h no Gajeel is drowning, oh, and now who's gonna defend him? Enter Levy: I!! (If you're not brazilian or mexican I doubt you'll get the refence).

The moment that made this chapter so good, even though it was a bit predictable from the cover and the last panel nobody was expecting the kiss! Not technically a kiss but to the shippers everything counts right? But as I said before even thought I liked it so much this isn't exactly what I was expecting Levy's major role to be. Yes, she saved Gajeel's life (and that will give us a great Gajeel x Levy after the battle is done), but basically at the cost of her own safety, that means that her role will most likelly stop there. Now is Gajeel's turn again and he still have Tempesta to deal with. At least for me as a Levy fan what I hoped to see is a call back at what we saw Gajeel saying in chapter 210 when Gajeel said he would pay attention to her when she get stronger and fight seriously. She has the potential, she has a versatile magic, second origin and even that one book she got from Crux at CS world (I always hoped it to be something really important). I'm sure he will acnowledge her after this but this was the perfect opportunity for her to show him how strong she is. I just hope this isn't our last chance at seeing her.

Well, this is it, now Gajeel has a little more time before drwoning again, wich can't be really long but this is a manga after all. It's not hard predicting what will happen next, probably Torafusa won't last more than two chapters. But then we still have Tempest who will require more people as everyone else will be down.

Yup, this is it, for me this was an amazing, and how could you find Cover boring? Anyway, guess this is the biggest post I ever wrote here :D I can't help it...
