Hopefully all the Hype about August will deliver, otherwise I'll be very dissapointed. Although at the same time I wanna see someone from Fairy tail go absolute berserk. You know I wanna see Gildartz come back and destroy everyone, give us fully-powered Gildartz.
THey already foreshadowed via Mest that Lucy and Natsu got some offscreen power up. I would not be surprised if they fought via power of love and that way nakama-converted August who then would sacrifice himself to revive Gajeel. Gg.

- Jackal got defeated, tried to blow himself up, Happy saved them and didn't even get hurt by that explosion, and we all have to thank Afro Happy for that one;
Natsu won the fight but lost the conflict. Jackal still showcased horrible destructive power AND survived. If anything those first scuffles showcased them as powerhouses - that even if FT WON they lost.
It was a hollow victory. Council - the body of control that was there since the start was destroyed. Laxus was poisoned. Natsu could not kill the opponent. All the losses were ont he ally side while the enemies achieved most of what they wanted to do.
Now how did we start Spriggan arc again? Oh right, FT won everything made Brandish their personal dog and then zero-casualty defended the town against A GIANT FRIGGIN ARMADA, while Erzaing ONE OF THE STRONGEST INIVIDUALS ON AN ENTIRE CONTINENT THAT IS SUPPOSED TO RIVAL THE FOUR GODS.
- Seilah, cool design and all, was defeated by a sucker punch;
From mira. And it felt earned. And it had great build up via Mira's backstory and emotional pay off with them protecting each other.
- Kyoka, 'she's Erza'.
One of the only Erza wins that were somewhat acceptable since it happened midway through emotional pay off and relied on Erza already having survived horrible torture as a slave AND left lasting effect on her psyche. But yeah it was the only fight i disliked in that arc. Compared to Spriggan arc where there literally has not been even decent fight yet.
- Ajeel, got defeated by a canon blast, personally I wasn't that upset as the other people, because Erza was losing that fight... anyway;
He got blasted by a fodder and then got erza'd.
- DiMaria, the whole thing with Ultear is somewhat debateable, if this has something to do with the stuff she did back in GMG, than it's okay, since she messed up the time flow, plus a God Slayer defeated a God Takeover;
She literally spent time playing around cutting people's clothes off.
- Wahl, again played in the Fairy Tail fashion, where the good guy pulls a strong spell the finsh the other;
Again build up is hat matters. It did not feel earned and it erased c onsequence from tartaros.
- Bradman, similar to the Laxus fight, but with consequences;
What consequences? Lol
- God Serena, okay, this is a legit one, he was defeated by probably one of the strongest beings in the FT verse, granted I too wanted to see more of him in action, but it's a legit reason, wheter or not you feel salty about it.
A character randomly appearing for no reason at all is not "reasonable". This is same as if Zeref would appear 10 chapters earlier in Tartaros and oneshot everyone.
