@Miskos3's top comment: I liked it too, though if I recall it was mentioned both of them were old dragons so... why does Skiadrum look as young as the others? I'm starting to think Weisslogia isn't old either and he's just based of a Chinese Dragon/never shaves.

@Nick: Agreed, the only way I'm not gonna get made about that is if that half black state (it would cool if that was a "Devil/Demon Force") is giving him a side effect that's making him that way.

@Carrot: The closest thing we have to telling something off-screen is when during the quiz in the current anime arc they muted Levy's answer on who she has a crush on. (And that was likely because we already know/have a good idea and they don't wanna canonize it yet, although the episode summary itself implied it was likely Gajeel)

I hope at the very least the anime helps fix this arc up a bit since it feels like this part of it is a bit rough on the edges, kinda like how it showed the reason Lyon and Racer survived the bomb Racer had with him.
