Wha...? I come home at 18 o'clock and the review for the chapter is just freshly made oO

Anyway, this chapter pretty much confirmed that it will be Dimaria vs. Erza. Dimaria will strip Erza and expect her to react like Kagura and Erza just won't mind that she's naked and will just whack Dimaria a good one, before requiping into something else.

I'm really not sure how to feel about the chapter. Natsu just conveniently has this out-of-the-blue tumor that conveniently Brandish and only Brandish can cure and which she conveniently does voluntarily...

Then we get to see how all those interesting battles ended... of course without seeing any of the actual battles, with the one exception being a forced strip-tease... It makes me think that Mashima has some kind of ecchi-quota that he needs to fulfill every month and that he was a bit behind, so he had to strip Kagura for it -_- But of course he neglects to tell us why the Spriggans would actually let the enemy forces retreat, instead of just slaughtering them... or at least harry them throuhout their retreat, killing a lot more than they did.

Did Beth survive? Was she hurt? Is she fine?

God... this chapter feels so lazy, unless we get a load of flashbacks later it's a huge disappointment. Especially the fight between Serena and his former peers would have been so damn interesting.
