All this sword-talk has got me thinking of Fate/Stay Night. >:/

About the chapter though.

The way I see it, Mashima is just ticking off from a list of fantasy tropes.(not that I'm complaining) The black and white swords having (female) embodiments is one of my favourite tropes ever.

The Yukino-Sorano meeting was worthy of an overused YouTube comment section joke. XD All that talk of looking for sister and all of a sudden insta-recognized! Guess even Mashima just wanted to get it over with.
