(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).



Beth  ( and few other ppl from LS as well)  should take a direct hit from it attack . and as you say if they survive it will be really show Badd as one of the 12 strongest wizards that he's attack can be stop by average mage that isn't even defend from it .. if they dead well i agree as well because it shows MH and LS that they don't even care about fallen members ...



Well we haven't seen Beth since that attack have we?

Wendy comes and kick Dimaria's face with.... DRAGON FORCE MODE???! seriously? Is that mean that Wendy is better than Natsu at controlling dragon force? The last time Natsu activate it he's still need a bait to activate it..

And yes... the chapter is fooling aroud to much... what are you thinking Mashima?? It's in the middle of a war there.. Is he really want to end the manga that fast to the point most of the enemies are fighting all at once there..

But still.. my Fave girl is fighting too.. go get her Wendy!Chapter 432 Wendy is shown that she can go Dragon force at anytime.

Wendy with the Dragon Force kick.



I guess Mashima won't be taking this war seriously. The enemy just allows their oppressors to regather themselves for another round the following day. Well since Mashima don't care and clearly wants to end this manga, I'll just go with the motions.

punching a god was okay. Because he used a little bit of his fire-dragon-king-mode (the sealed magic in his arm. That's what my thought.) and the whitewashing of gray, it was just part of the avatar arc. Because Gray became aware of the devil slaying magic that's why she asked Porlyusica to heal her. Too bad it was an off-screen scene. Those two are okay. Okay just sayin.

ah, Dimaria, I thought you might be kind of cool before you started tearing clothes off women. Now you're just annoying.



Still, looking forward to seeing some of the battles.



Ok so one problem i have with this is that it has been explicitly stated that Dimaria is a very seasoned war veteran. She knows what shes doing. I don't think she does this just to get a rise out of it. I think she does it to degrade the opponent and embarrass them i.e. lowering their guard and making them an easier target. Dimaria does this for a reason.

Or maybe she's just teasing them and doesn't really want to take this war that serious, it's not like the Spriggans are supposed to be monsters/demons ready to tear apart everyone in their sight in fact some of them don't look that hungry to fight at all, like August,Brandish,Invel,Nineheart and Dimaria.

I sense shit is about to down!,

Acnologia really did kill God serena then O.O (also tbh that damn "assassin" looking mage, looks like fucking Jason statham xD i mean come on hiro! )



Laxus is also getting the huff huff.. ? is getting serious for laxus as well. well they have came to support lamia scale and mermaid heel! this is going to fun.

Laxus vs Wahl, will his illness take over?

I hope Hiro did not forget Kagura magic and make her use it for a third time ;0...

Well Dimaria action prove that she doesn't even have experencie of a foot soldier.. well let's see what's better from the point of war "humiliate" enemy to lower guard break morale of few units ? or kill them .. i think that second option is more suited in any situation because kiling of Kagura for example will decrease morale of MH and LS more than just strip them

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.
