 * Well ... you're right, they don't seem exhausted at all:
 * But Gray got quite a power boost after his battle with Silver, that should have washed away any exhaustion. His battle against Tempesta was an OHKO, shouldn't have cost him much. And then he's just been wandering around, walking pretty leisurely until meeting up with Mard. He's not gonna be really exhausted.
 * Natsu ... is Natsu. Just like Erza didn't seem exausted even after her torture and Neo Minerva, Natsu doesn't seem exhausted after his battles either. But, in his favour, he does have a legitimate reason for feeling elated and powerful right now: Igneel. And FT pretty much revolves around feelings, so yeah. >.>
 * The punches might not look magical, but look at the panel when the trunk is shattered, there's fire and ice everywhere. So they are magical. ... Well, there's ice anyway. Can't really tell fire from dust. >.>
 * It does weigh a tonne ... but so did the rock Natsu used to smash Franmalth with. But true. On the other hand, it's shonen, so I don't really look at the physical constraints unless they're over-the-top BS like in Erza's fights or Mashima himself introduces elements that make previous parts of the fight seem pretty illogical. So yeah ...
 * Well, people getting Magic out of the blue (though Gray's was foreshadowed from the SV arc) and being able to use it proficiently is kind of a trend in FT ... and I believe I also gave a similar response somewhere before, but can't remember where:
 * Erza just went 'Kyaaaa' and got her Magic, with which she was able to annihilate the whole Magic Corps of ToH. And she couldn't even use Magic before! At least Mira had to train herself while all others know how to use Magic. Please nobody say inherent talent, 'cause there's and equally ridiculous term known as latent potential (not referring to Cana) which can explain almost all power ups. Both terms are pathetic
 * We know from the fact that Wendy actually got notes on Sky Drill that Dragon Slayer Arts need to be taught, but Natsu was easily able to create a new one in his LFDM.
 * Jellal and Gray's proficiency in newly learned Magic actually makes much more sense. Jellal got mindfucked by Ultear, but she also transferred knowledge of Darkness Magic to him. Silver just passed on his knowledge of IDSM to Gray and also his Magic Power.
 * I also hope we get LH next week. :D ... Though I hope it doesn't turn out be something boring (I'm pretty sure it'll be OPed BS anyway >.>) like 'wash away all negative emotions' to make Curses ineffective. Man, Mard's explanation is making me really fearful that having no negative emotions is gonna play a role in Tartarus' ultimate defeat. >.<
