I am disapointed. I wasn't until the end of the first chapter becase I sort of knew nothing Arlock could bring would be a chalenge to Natsu. But when I saw the god I really thought "Wow finally something interesting happens in this arc". I mean, it's a god, c'mon they'll need at lead the whole team plus Gajeel to take it down. Then comes next chapter and with it the disapointment. I should have known better than to rise my hopes...

Anyway, did anyone think of Mystogan when Arlock used those magic staff and spells? Now I wonder if we know who Arlock is. Oh well, he got one shotted so it doesn't really matter anyway. The only good thing we got is that he released a god. That was pretty impressive for a fodder. too bad he insulted Natsu's nakama feelings and we got to read him giving out another of those speeches.

The god looked impressive at first. I really though Mashima would do a good thing this arc and show FT attacking together as people has been saying this is just like Lulaby. But no, he has to go and show that Natsu is even more OP than we thought. I mean, a god? Seriously? One-shot again?

I get the fact that this arc is to show how much FT has improved in the past year but if you look close we haven't seen almost anything out of anyone but Natsu. Everyone else got a couple panels against fodder and even with that we can see how far they are from Natsu's level. I wonder if it's too much to say that he is near Igneel level, and that's one step before getting to Acnologia's level.

Some people say that he needs to be that strong to defeat Acnologia and they may be right but the real problem I get with this much power in one character is that he completelly overshadow the other characters even without LFM or DF. We already know that Wendy is already far behind compared to Natsu and even though Lucy got her power up she's obviously nowhere near him too. Also, IMO Acnologia's fight isn't just Natsu's fight. There are at least 4 other characters that deserve to fight him and there would be no point so making him strong enough so that he can go one-on-one on Acnologia means that the others don't need to join, unless of course Acnologia has got stronger too.

Well looks like this arc is finished. I'd be really glad if Zeref shows up and praises Natsu's grow, then steals Natsu's body and release E.N.D. but it's not like Hiro would do that right? At least I expect Gajeel to show up now that he missed all the action.
