I have to admit, the choreography of the battle was nice enough. And to be fair what Erza blocked are magically enhanced punches from relatively worn-down combatants rather than full-powered magic beams or waves.

As for Irene's status report (without even illustrating where the rest of the 12 are), if it only takes into account the troops from the west and the north and the south, then what does the story have in store for the legions of troops still stationed in the east (and presumably not covered by Universe One)? I'm also getting this nagging suspicion that the outcome so far has been good for Irene's own agenda...

Finally, I can't stand how August is simultaneously being magnified (in terms of portrayal) and suppressed (when it comes to on-panel performance). Or is all this just the calm before the disaster that's about to come?
