User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Chapter 472: Laxus vs. Wahl, Review/@comment-1153699-20160208202815

A few things:
 * Laxus is NOT going to die.
 * Wahl won't win.
 * The nerfs (MBP and Wahl having specific resistance to Lightning) are obviously there to push Laxus to an extreme difficulty fight and get him out of the way for the rest of the arc. Can't have him mess things up now can we?

Whatever, Hiro. Just keep up with the good action for 2 more chapters and I'll be a happy man. Well.. Perhaps more satisfied than happy since we probably won't see Laxus for a looong time after this. I cri evrytiem.
