Best Part(s): DiBitch crapping her pants on seeing Natsu. And Zeref casually burning Gray. Hilarious. First time in the arc I've considered one of Zeref's statements to be cool. \( ^_^)/

Apparently everybody is in Magnolia after U1 is dispelled 'cuz fuck logic. /o/

Poor TGT. Mashima actually made an effort with them at the beginning... and then they disappeared. .-.

Strausses... off-screened! \( ._.)/ Apparently, Lisanna and Elfman can take down a Shield, although he was admittedly worn out. Oh, and Yajeel's cool. Nice to see him, I guess...

Now do you get why I consider Mirajane vs. Blade Duo to be disrespectful to Mirajane fans, Rai? It was a clear indication that she wasn't going to be taken seriously. >.>

Brandish, sweetie, stop kidding yourself. Any sane government would execute you immediately on charges of high treason. At least Sasuke wasn't as naive... Although that's not really much of an achievement. e_e

Poor Carla. Your precognition skills only work when it's convenient for Mashima, but obviously you don't know that.

August... Hmmm, yeah, he exists... Where did Gildarts pop out from though? O_o

Apparently, a heavily injured Gray is the first one to reach Zeref. Rather than Lightning Laxus or Mest+Group or Meteor Jellal... Mashima plz. e_e

Gray: lol, Mashima really has it in for Gray this arc, huh? First he cemented him as a callous bastard, then a despicable traitor and now an arrogant dumbfuck. The only bright side is that Gray has gone alone instead of trying to team up with people, although he should have simply given up and stayed behind to take out fodder. The only way he gets redeemed for his arrogance is if his plan is to throw all his hopes on Iced Shell. If he succeeds, good enough; if he doesn't he'll be dead instead of dead weight. At the very least, let him actually be killed by Zeref instead of being saved by Natsu/Mavis/Jellal/RandomMook. But when did Mashima actually have the guts to write properly? >.> The possibility that he might actually prove even somewhat helpful against Zeref, be it to damage him/his immortality or free Natsu, does not even deserve to be considered.
 * Trump Card: Ummm, yeah, no. Natsu's trump card had basis, relevance and focus. He was expected to defeat Zeref, so there was hype. Gray's trump card has none of these. Heck, after how (virtually) ineffective Natsu's OP TC proved, Gray shouldn't even stand a snowball's chance in hell. No, wait, forget that. Given that Gray thinks Natsu's life depends on Zeref, the trump card will suddenly be revealed to be something that saves Natsu 'cuz Farce Fail. This is a literal waste of panels and, honestly, I fail to see how this isn't an insult to the intelligence of the entire fanbase. e_e

Double Chapters: Eh, I'd prefer Mashima to improve his work ethic as a writer instead of that as an illustrator. Although I guess it's a blessing that even Mashima realizes how stupid the current situation is and wants to end it as fast as possible. :P
