Lol, the chapter was published just after I went to sleep XD Of course.

Anyways, I dunno. I liked parts of both chapters and hated other parts, so I guess it's a split again :P

THE GOOD:
 * 1) Erza falls and Natsu catches her. Though I am terrified to go anywhere near the shipping part of tumblr and other sites because of it, it was still a nice moment. Though, I secretly was hoping Erza would be more... down and out .-.
 * 2) Both covers were cool :) Even if I am a little over half-naked Lucy "my heart is with the guild" covers...
 * 3) Brandish and her hay fever XD Wahaha, of course. OF COURSE. Trust her to be the one most put out by Ajeel's sandstorm. Though I tried to avoid spoilers, I heard that Brandish was defeated by Cana and Lucy and started to go "Oh great, here we go >__>". Glad the spoiler was misinterpreted, because what actually happened was great. Brandish is turning out to be a really interesting character. Looking forward to seeing what they do with her. They'll either not be able to get a word out of her because she's so darn stubborn, or they'll bribe her with icecream or some shit and she'll spill everything XD
 * 4) Wahl's weakness soldiers were a neat idea, even if I'm not sure they were used correctly (more in "the bad").
 * 5) Mira's "weakness". I chuckled.
 * 6) The Raijinshuu getting to actually fight. FINALLY! Tbh, that's what made the chapter so great, even if (as Leli pointed out) they have no new abilities.
 * 7) Wahl is not human. Niiiiice.
 * 8) Lightning = Ichiya. I LAUGHED SO DAMN HARD. Omg, that was hilarious. I was starting to roll my eyes because ngl I'm kinda over Laxus fights and this one was set up exactly like Tempester's, so when it turned out to be Ichiya I died XD No fucking clue how he showed up (as usual) but he was WAAAAYYY better than Laxus.
 * 9) Ichiya has too many weaknesses. Analysis error. *is dead*
 * 10) The enemy can't smell... again. Trollshima strikes for Ichiya once more! XD
 * 11) Wahl knows and has accounted for his own weaknesses. That was a nice addition, even if what happened next made me angry (see below again).
 * 12) Also, was it just me, or did Wahl's robot-form remind anyone else of that guy from Rave (whose name I can't for the life of me remember) who was turned into a cyborg??

'THE BAD:
 * 1) Wahl's soldiers were cool, but the idea that FT could just swap weaknesses was too easy imo. Like you said... steam for Juvia? Uhhh, lightning would have been much more effective seeing what Laxus did to her in BFT arc. Oh well though :/ Guess they were just foot soldiers, so I shouldn't think too much of them.
 * 2) Lisanna's "I can't even put a dent in this one". Lisanna, you couldn't put a dent in jelly >__> Also, Lisanna a speed type? Girl couldn't even dodge Lamy's glomps last arc. Please Mashima, don't insult Jellal, Racer, Jet and other speed-types by grouping them with Lisanna.
 * 3) Wahl's defeat. I mean, I was happy it was Freed and Ichiya for once, and not some big shot. Plus, I know Wahl is a robot and likely not down. However, it's the implication of such a defeat that gets to me. I mean, this guy, who calculated his own weaknesses, fell to those two? Even if he comes back, the fact that he fell to Freed and Ichiya with their pure strength only (no tactic) will never stop ringing in the back of my head. Even if he's Wahl 2.0 or whatever shit, I will just be under the conclusion that someone else with more brute strength than Freed + Ichiya (cue... anyone from the main cast really) will be able to defeat him. And that doesn't sit well with me :/

So yeah, mixed reaction. Overall I think the first chapter is an 8/10, but the second a 5.5/10. Which averages out pretty well, but I'm still a little funny over Wahl's defeat and poorly-handled powers. Hopefully we get more Brandish next week :)
