Well another transition chapter, I wish the dragons would go away since I don't see their purpose being here other than Hiro wanted them to be in chapter 400, but that has passed, now Hiro has to find a way to get rid of them, unless there is a point to them in this arc that we will see later. But now I just don't see them as nothing but fan service.

Natsu vs Mard Guille, Mard the shock of Natsu dodging his attack, you know when a villain does that in a fight, they are screwed. So because he is afraid of losing, he wants to Face to be activated now so he can bet up a powerless Natsu, well that is smart, but also cowardly, Mard Guille has no honor, but I didn't expect anything less than Mard Guille, win at all costs even the life of subdornate, duh it is a dark guild, they are not suppose to give a dam about sacrificing their own.

So Kyouka turned into the key to activate Face and really to die to do it, well if Sayla is dead, than she does have a lot to gain by dying, than again by dying she is breaking her promese to Sayla. Why did she tell Erza defeat her will stop Face, Erza like everyone was dumbfounded of what was going on, if Kyouka kept her mouth shut, they would have won, but no the temptation of the honor of defeating Titana is to much to pass up. Just like Azuma, this is Erza vs Azuma 2.0, the stakes are pretty much the same. The fate of everyone rides on Erza, if Erza loses everyone else is helpless and screwed. I am sure she will win. But I have the feeling like Juvia vs Melody, Erza will win without killing Kyouka. When someone says I will die either way, that is considered a challenge to prove them wrong to a Fairy Tail mage. I don't think it is Kyouka time to go just yet. I think she has something more meaningful to do before she dies, or at least the way she dies will be meaningful.

That or perhaps Erza wins without killing Kyouka she finds a way to spear her. Than Mard Guille just shows up kill Kyouka and activates Face.

I don't know what to say about this chapter, personally I wish we got the Erza vs Kyouka fight done with earlier, but those dragons had to show up for bladent fan service. It is more of a set up chapters, it seems I have been saying that for the last few chapter, no more set up please. But looks like we are reaching the climax of this arc, and I am excited about that.
