Did Acnologia got defeated by Ichiya and Anna pushing him down in the time lapse with the ship? I have read that wrong and are my eyes fooling me?
We talk about Acnologia, the most hyped up antagonist of the whole series, the one who exterminated the dragons, the one who raped the entire Fairy Tail Guild in the Tenrou Island, the one who killed Igneel in front of Natsu, the one who everyone in the series feared with his mere mention, the one who in his human form was able to trash a dude who thrased the elite of Ishgal... He couldn't be defeated in such crappy way. Right?... Right?!... RIGHT?!
I mean, I already assumed Zeref's battle would be crap since the last two chapters (thing that ended being true, in the most classic Fairy Tail example), but I cannot believe Mashima actually defeated Acnologia that way. More than 100 chapters expecting an awesome battle after all that build up, and he is beaten in one of the shittiest ways to defeat a villain I have ever seen. Bleach's final battle is a masterpiece compared with that (who is not saying much). He wasn't even confronted by Natsu after how the manga implied he would face him one day.
I still expect that maybe (MAYBE), Acnologia will rip the time lapse and present a proper battle (there are still 10 chapters after all), but looking at the way the conclusion it's present, I doubt it.
Mashima, you just have one job, ONE FRIGGIN JOB, and you ruined it misserably. Even Erza being Erza would have been better, at least it would have been hilarious. He basically just created a new level in the bullshit scale, even after the thing of Erza destroying the meteor with all her bones broken. That is even admirable in it's own way.
For what me refers, the manga could end next chapter and I wouldn't shed any tears. I'm terribly disappointed.
