Gildarts is back! Yay! Meh for the rest.

At this point Zeref could pretty much dosmiss all of his soldiers and keep only the Spriggan and his forces' strength wouldn't be reduced by a tenth. When millions of soldiers don't stand a chance against a couple dozens of Ishigar magesyou know that Alvarez failed somewhere. It would be much better if Zeref just ordered all of the Spriggan make a combined attack on the front lines to finish the whole battle in a single chapter, I hope not but it seems like they'll play fair and send one at a time. If so, then all the fuzz about the Spriggan being reunited was for nothing. That dragon thing Serena made was cool tho.
