This chapter confirmed one thing that pissed me off. Natsu hadn't awakened as E.N.D. by the time he one-shot Dimaria. In just his normal, base form he was able to move within Age Seal, however, I can mitigate this irksome event by remembering that Natsu is technically an Etherious, which can basically be used as a wild card to explain a lot of stupid Natsu shit. Just become immune, kids! I also do not whatsoever care that Gray and Natsu are fighting. It's instinct vs. revenge. At least it's new in a way.
