I think the main issue with Badd and DiMaria is that there was an opportunity to fight against legitimate opponents (Kagura and Lyon, two swordswomen and two mages that build things to fight), but instead DiMaria opted for fanservice and Badd crouched on a roof like he was Spider-Man casting magic missiles of dubious effectiveness (Seriously is Beth dead or not?  If she isn't, then I lose faith in Badd as a mage, since that means he couldn't kill her with a direct hit that she showed no ability to defend against.  But if she isn't then I lose faith in Mashima as a writer, since that means he decided that the post-battle camp scene would be better served focusing on fanservice than the guild's reaction to a dead member).

Well, Mashima already wasted a lot of panels with fan-service that should be enough to lose some faith on him and the problem with the 2Spriggans fights was  simply because it had no FT members there, Mashima simply doesn't like to focus on fights that doesn't have any FT member and that's it, now just by having Wendy there the fight will be completely different even though Wendy shouldn't be that strong at all.



As for Wahl killing Beth, unless I see some of her members falling off or being heavily damaged like Serena is, she was definitely saved off-panel by someone, there's just no way she died and no one cared about it OR she was able to defend that, hell I don't even remember her magic, I mean Wahl just took two direct hits from Laxus and he still fighting, there's no way he can't beat someone like Beth but is able to trade punches with fucking Laxus, Mashima just won't kill the good characters even if this is a war, unless Acnologia appears, then it's a different story.



How is Wendy not strong? She can go Dragon Force at will and defeated one of the Nine Demon Gates with ease using that form without any training. She's one of the main Five Characters, of course she will keep getting stronger like the rest of the cast. She's one of the strongest wizards on the battlefield right now because of her ability to use Dragon Force.

Really looking forward to Wendy fighting Dimaria, it's been so long since her last real fight (Which was Ezel) looking forward to seeing how much she has improved with Dragon force. Also I'm worried about Laxus now, the death flags are everywhere for him. I mean this arc is setting up death flags everywhere, but I doubt that many characters are actually going to die.

God Serena definitely wasn't the strongest in the Spriggans. I would say he was in the middle, I think.



As for this week's chapter, it was like any other. At this point of time, every Spriggan or new antagonist Mashima will introduce will feel insignificant in front of Zeref and Acnologia. But I'm still hoping the Spriggans will somehow redeem themselves.



  Yeah. I agree. The Spriggans haven't really done anything much yet, have they? We've only really seen Ajeel in a fight. Serena trashed Ishgar's top 4 wizard saints and then got oneshotted by Acnologia. I'll say their defeats were done quite well. It's only Brandish whose portrayal I found disappointing. But she's a very complex character. We have only seen glimpses of Bradman and August's powers and those were pretty great. As for Invel, Jacob and Neinhart, we don't know what they can do. There are 2 more yet to be introduced. So I'm not going to judge them yet.

  This week's chapter was mostly a setup. Hopefully we get to see some good fights next.



Trashed the GOI in an offscreen fight and the battle after that was pretty boring as well. Brandish was a lap-dog all along and Dimaria is pretty much a perverted sadist (though that rape face after Wendy kicks her might just be a chance of hope that she doesn't becomes like Brandish). Ajeel and Wahl were the only ones who delivered so far.



As for the rest I do agree they are pretty powerful but they haven't done anything so far, however I will not outright judge them.



But still, bringing Acnologia into the equation pretty much takes away ALL the hype from the Spriggans so he should've actually been introduced later on in the war.



I actually disagree. It's been how many chapters since he said he's done waiting and that he'll join the fight? Quite a few. If he took too long to show up people would then argue where is Acnologia and what's keeping him from showing up already. The same way they keep asking about Jellal and Crime Sorciere.

Vegetable magic is love. Vegetable magic is life. She must not die



She can be alive considering that she sense the attack and what she magic she use in  GMG ( hidden) she could hide underground:P ...

"I'll arrest you... And lock you up in the guilds prison for sure."



What the fuck is with this piece of dialogue?



3/5. Expectations are low considering the shit that happened before in this arc.



Can't wait for some more God Serena goodness. ^^



Dimaria stop being a fucking twat as well. You've had chances to slaughter multiple people in a war in just keep throwing them away.

No! Laxus...don't you DARE die on us! I thought he was healed and didn't have to worry about the magical barrier particles anymore! :( Oh god. My little heart will break....

.....that  Spriggan Swordswoman sure is a fanservice-maker.



Probably Laxus would lose because of his disease.

good chapter but I didnt receive my answer for whether Serena is dead or not.



Yes Darklight, you still cant bury Serena. lets wait for the next week.



Your denial is pathetic. Watch as he's never mentioned again. Just like trash on the side of the road. Next week won't be any difference since just like the title says it's Laxus VS Wahl. God I hate your type so much.

It's time to ship Lucy-chanXFreed~



No. No way in hell



Yep. lets wait and see. As long as his death was not confirmed, he still may be alive. Wait for atleast 3-4 chapters and then you can call it a denial.



You know what. I have discovered your secret identity. I should have seen it from the very start. You are the black knight of this forum



Listen to the lyrics. They are all true:



Maybe you are the black knight of the forum after all.



It's not about being stubborn. It's about FACING FACTS. That's what makes you the Black knight. You refuse to face the fact that you have no legs or arms to stand on with your baseless belief he's not dead.



That's why even your riposte attempt falls flat on its face.
