So this chapter was largely just another setup chapter. I'm going to be honest. Pretty much the entire time they are in front of the gate, I was waiting for 10,000 dragons to come flying out and start wreaking havoc. Instead, we got just a bunch of "Are you okay" "You were injured, you should take it easy" and nothing happening while they stand in front of the gate. Really, I think this entire part could have been cut and we would be no wore off for it. The only thing that was any interesting to me was Lucy at the end. It seemed like she was possessed or something. I don't know.

As for the fight. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It did seem a little rushed though. Natsu activates LFD and then the fight is over within a few pages without seeing anything too stunning on either end. Though Rogue looks even more badass in White Shadow Dragon mode. That white eye with the streak as he moves was pretty cool. Queue Ultear and Meredy arriving and I was pretty happy with things on this front. If the chapter purely focused here, I think it would have been a lot better.

Overall, this chapter was decent, but its just slowed down a little too much for my liking. It is taking too long to transition from the tournament to the dragons arriving. If nothing else, next chapter I at least hope to learn what came over Lucy. Anyway, that's all I have for this time, so comment away.
