That just reeks of too much convenience. Either way she's either too cocky or too apathetic/reluctant to actually be a credible threat.  At this point if the Sky sisters do beat her on their own I'd say she deserves it.



Indeed. But no matter how arrogant or apathetic she is, her skill and experience is way higher than her current opponents. So the only way the sky sisters can win on their own is with plot armour + invincibility of the good side no jutsu. But it'd probably be Sky sisters + Erza + Kagura vs. Dimaria. Then they can have a legit win.

That would be the best scenario for me.  I can only hope it goes that way.

I agree.  I thought that's what Mashima was building to when he showed up and attacked Azir.  I mean, I figured Natsu would fight Azir (he normally gets those types) and Laxus would fight August or Serena and Jellal would fight the other (probably August since they both have a wide variety of magics).

Agreed. I thought so too. BUTAllenNoah said:
I figured Gildarts would make a Big Damn Heroes against Acno, but I'm not sure anymore.

Gildarts, even though he is OP, would still be bulldozed by Acnologia just as he was in their last two encounters. Idk what Mashima is trying to pull off here.

Oh, I wouldn't expect him to win.  At best he'd've made Acno grunt in pain say "That hurt."  But after seeing him here...yeah that ain't happening.

Also @AllenNoah, that guy's name is not Azir. It's Ajeel Ramal. Apparently "ajeel" means "quick" in Arabic. "Ramal" comes from Arabic "raml" which means "sand." A fitting name.

Noted.  I tried googling Ajeel once and just got recipes to what I can best describe as Persian Trail Mix.

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



She should be dead. Mashima doesn't really hesitate to kill off fodder characters. But we haven't seen Wahl's attacks actually kill anyone. The Raijinshuu survived his proxy bomb and Ichiya wasn't killed by the anti-matter cannon even though Christina was totalled. Plot armour + poor writing?



AllenNoah said:


As someone who's read Bleach and Naruto, that doesn't mean jack until I see a body or hear a mention.



  It's absurd that there'd be no casualties in a war. Plenty of fodder got killed offscreen in the war in Naruto. LS and MH's behaviour is off though. That's definitely poor writing.



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

Laxus vs Wahl sounds cool..



Besides that, I don't expect much from Dimaria's fights, but I'm curious to see Neinhart..maybe he'll join this fight later?



inb4 he is gildartz :v



Some ppl say it's Gildarts other it's Simon but it will be


...

So everyone is back to their old habits before another battle. I wonder how long will Natsu sleep and how much power have he lost.




Di Maria before this arc





After this arc

Its hilarious on how the times you facepalm increase with every page of FT chapter nowadays.



Welp...Spriggans being a complete fucking joke confirmed. They literally have yet to do anything important. Hey the spikey girl cut more clothes! Yay I guess? "Strongest beings on the continent" my ass.



First Brandish gets turned into fucking comedy gag, then God Serena gets anticlimatic "death". Now two more get their faces kicked in by fucking Wendy and Laxus out of all people. This is reaching GMG and Tenrou Island level of "what the fuck are you smoking, mashima?"



2/5

Confirmed Zeref can't 1v1 acnologia without help.

Looks like another intense battle is starting. Also, am I the only one who can't wait for Gildarz(or what they translate his name to now) to show up?
