Meh, not really feeling this chapter like that.

Killing off Igneel, a character that's had almost zero screen time wasn't impactful for me. It felt like a pretty cheap way of inducing angst and a powerup for Natsu, and that's about it.

"Oh look, Natsu's father figure who I never saw anything of died. Wow. I am so sad right now. Because Natsu is such a compelling character. And his father figure was so well developed."
