A great episode overall. It's been some time since there was an episode where I just had tiny nitpicks and nothing disappointed me.

I even liked the fight extensions in the Rescue Team vs. Royal Army + Garou Knights fight. Scorpio got a chance to show that he's useful for one thing. Now they only need to give Capricorn a good scene at some point, since he's very absent from the manga.

To my own surprise I even liked Loke's rebuffed flirt-attempt with Cosmos, even though I usually don't like such scenes. No idea why...

The colour of Gajeel's Iron Shadow Dragon's Roar bugged me a little though. Why yellow? Shouldn't it be a combination of gray and black (iron and shadow)? The only black that was there were those rings and there was no hint of anything iron in it. But compared to the awesomeness of the fight itself, the great shots of Gajeel in his Iron Shadow mode and the "Gihiii"s, this problem is really insignificant.

And what little skin we see from Arcadios looks a bit too healthy considering he took a dip in lava. He must have some kind of wonder medicine in his room.

Jura finishing Orga was nice and I'm pumped for Laxus vs. Jura, but I already said my part on that further down.

AND for a change they managed to keep the preview almost spoiler-free and those spoilers they had won't mean anything to anime-only viewers yet, so I think it's okay. That's a big improvement over the previous episodes.
