Honestly I think fanbases jump to conclusions WAY too early. I mean, people are talking about the spriggans being disappointing but last time I checked, only 2/12 have been defeated, and 1 by a ridicously OP non fairy tail member. I think i'll wait for some more Spriggan defeats before I cast judgement.
The Spriggans just aren't delivering the hype anymore. They haven't really done anything in awhile. I wouldn't have much of a problem it Hiro actually showed them more of a threat. Brandish was a complete letdown in terms of how her story was so easily rushed and only made to side with Fairy Tail since she was a fan favorite. DiMaria has done nothing but strip women of their clothing and get kicked in the face by Wendy of all people.. Azeel was decent but was defeated too early however his defeat did make sense and it had sone teamwork. Serena being killed by Acno was correct I mean it's freaking Acnologia but as big of a threat Serena was his presence REALLY short.
I was expecting an actual war with different guilds fighting the Spriggans. We have the setup but that's it. I mean these are the Spriggan 12.. Hiro hyped them up to be the most powerful threat yet however I felt more hyped and more interest when Fairy Tail battled the Demon Gates. Because it was a hard fought back n forth battle. The demons were pushing Fairy Tail to its limits and desperation and keep in mind the demons were considered rejects by Zeref.
Now none of that is happening. Hell Dimaria pretty much let Kagura go back and regathering forces and guess who's with her now? Erza. This won't end well for the Spriggans. It's not the fact Acnologia is stealing the thunder away but the Spriggans since Azeel haven't done anything. Great designs and decent powers but unfortunately Hiro isn't using it any of that potential

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.

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
...
I heard Neinhart is a certain language (idk which one) means 'No Heart' so that may be a hint/clue.

First Beth, didn't she get saved by Kaguya slicing up that missle? Have you read that chapter? So she was hit by that.
Wendy is strong, can she defeat DiMaria alone? No. The fact that she was able to kick her, if you remember in Tartaros arc, against Ezel, when in DF mode, she was really fast, or you forget that? And its been a year since then.
Now this me back, to something I said regarding the dragon slayers that had dragons inside them... Natsu like Wendy, could only use DF if they ate a large concentration of magic, now Wendy can at will, Natsu and the rest most likely can too. And this happened after the dragons left their bodies, not only that but, their hearing and smelling senses increased, a feat that we never saw before from them (Natsu and Gajeel hearing from miles away like Cobra can).

Wendy even at her strongest should NOT be able to punch "strongest beings on continent" in the face like it was nothing.
Laxus, even if he is one of stronger members, still got shitted on by Jura and Spriggans were all built up to be as someone above Jura's level.
What are you even saying? It's like DiMaria is the most powerful being in the world? What? Look, they are strong, based on MP power, as some people sensed that already, but they're not some immortal being. Dragon Slayers have one of the most powerful magic in this series, explained above why Wendy can do stuff like that (Maybe it should've been more detalied? Point is we saw her moving really fast when she used DF for the first time, and even she said that she can control the air around her).

Considering no one's ever stress tested the crystal as far as I could tell I'd like to believe that Zeref filed it under "Handle With Care." Otherwise any of the Spriggans with the capabilities would've just nuked Magnolia.
If destroying it was so easy then Makarov and Mavis would have had it destroyed by now instead of letting this whole war start. None of the other spriggans have reached Magnolia yet. Ajeel was defeated and Brandish didn't destroy the city because she wanted to meet Lucy. Then she got captured. Badd's proxy was oneshotted by Freed with Ichiya's help.

A character with 8 dragon slaying magics, Ishgar's strongest mage is important enough for the story, he has plenty of ways to save him without even calling it an asspull
No not when the one who confirmed the death is none other than Acnologia. This guy has a killstreak going on that's lasted over 400 years. He's dead. And no amount of your denial is going to change that. There was another guy like you on another site but guess what. This chapter he admitted he was wrong and that Serena was dead. You would do well to learn from him. Instead of making yourself out to be an even bigger joke than Serena.

Trashed the GOI in an offscreen fight and the battle after that was pretty boring as well. Ajeel and Wahl were the only ones who delivered so far.
The fight, what little we saw of it, was hardly boring. But then Acnologia appeared and everyone else were insects before him.

Brandish was a lap-dog all along.
"We're in the middle of a war and you want to let your prisoner run free? I have warned you about your naive thinking. One day it just may cost you your life. I have no intention of becoming your friend or confidant, so I'd appreciate it if you left me alone."
This one quote redeemed Brandish in my eyes.

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.
That wasn't even a real god. It was just a summon that was a bit bigger than the Celestial Spirit King.
What he said.
Darklight0303 said:
The only real god that's performed as one so far is Ankhseram.
But we have no idea who or what he actually is.

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.
Hmm. You can never please everyone, I suppose. Actually Acnologia shouldn't have been shown to be taking part in this war at all. His appearance means THE END for all the unfortunate "lesser beings" nearby. I've said this before too.
