Well catching up on what Gildarts does sound nice, but I can't help but feel it would be a little bit boring. I mean one chapter wouldn't really feel like enough room to show anything brilliant about Gildarts that we haven't already seen. But "A Solitary Journey" could be focused on Yukino joining the Eclipse Project because it would be an easy way to tell us about that and the chapter's title would link to her after she was exiled from Sabertooth.

I did feel that he was taking these two chapters to focus more on the main plot. I don't think a lot of fanservice would take that much effort to come up with and chapter 299 is something I expect isn't going to be that great so it's would be good if he has actually used these chapters to take his time on making the main story better than it would have been as chapter 298. Also the 300 mark has to be something special and this way Hiro hopefully has created a crowd pleasing reveal of the hooded woman, thought of some decent fights for the last day of the GMG and an epic way to present the event on the 7th of July. P.S. Enjoy your Holidays when they come but I thought the British holidays had already ended?
