Nice to see Gildarts after all this time, and even in a middle of a battle he can find time to embarrass his daughter. I love the dotting father Gildarts.

I do think it would be nice to see a living Serena vs Gildarts, oh well, hopefully this is just a warm up for Gildarts and he will get to fight August.

And than almost all of the defeated Spriggen some dead some alive show up, what is the point, they lost, I guess give some lesser characters someone to fight as the Strauss siblings, you have Rogue and Minerva (they show up together, another shipping hint? LOL) and you know you are not much of a character that get much screen time when we have to be reminded that Kianna is a Fairy Tail member. Sorano has a funny little exchange with Minerva, maybe showing she approves of her sister's guild. Which a nice moment just Minerva what is going on.

They charge on forward, and next in line is Invel, and what is up with Romeo's rape page at the end, I guess he has been spending too much time with Mest. Mest is a bad influence.
