Even more proof that we need a human slayer to get rid of these uppity humans.

Voldeo (the Grimoire Heart guy who possessed Capricorn), wasn't a Human Slayer, but he used Human Subordination magic.

Ya know...I like Gildartz and find his powers pretty cool, but I really wish they'd stop using him as a deus ex machina thing all the time. I really serves to reduce the suspense or impact of the strong characters he fights when it always ends with him punching them real hard.

So which came first, the too powerful enemy that needed a Glidartz to Deus Ex Machina them into submission, or the Gildartz who needed a too powerful enemy to keep him from just crashing all the problems away?

I think Gildartz's involvement in this arc came first, because excluding him from the final arc would be weird.

The worst part is that it would actually be interesting if Gray's attack worked, but you know that type of poo poo doesn't fly in Fairy Tail, so it won't and almost negative things happened this chapter.

Two chapters this week, and Gray is stopped about 5 pages in.

On the other hand, Zeref has a super-duper secret plot, and Acnologia is back.

I hope he just chumps August and we don't have to have some boring explanation as to his stupid powers. Fairy Tail sucks at explaining anything.

I did appreciate the call back to Gray's "lovely job" though.

Acnologia's breath attacks can probably just incinerate Zeref's body. If Igneel's flames had the potential to kill Zeref, Acnologia's island-erasing blast of darkness surely could.

The real question is how anyone, Zeref included, is a threat to Acnologia at this point. I had previously assumed that Natsu would take him out with some new dragon-demon form, but now that Natsu has rejected his Dragon Seed and Demon Seed, he shouldn't even be able to scratch Acnologia's scales.

It would be cool if Acnologia remains less a character and more some unstoppable force of nature even to the end of the manga and the best anyone can do is stay out of his warpath.

Which is why he is going to totally job out to Zeref at some point.

He is going to job so bad, even Worf will do a facepalm, and Worf was nearly killed by falling off a ladder once.

Acnologia is cool as a random level 99 superboss roaming around the world who occasionally drops in and fucks everything up super hard for both sides. I really really hope he doesn't get more than a few pages worth of backstory, and exactly 0 of it should involve crying about a dead friend/family member.

I hope his backstory never becomes more complicated than "Killed so many dragons that he became a super dragon", because that is unironically the best explanation of a villains power we've gotten in this series.

I think they said that Acnologia can use some sort of soul magic, which might be one of the few things to do something worth a drat to Zeref.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
I guess next chapter will feature more Larcade, who kind of got clowned on. Since this is the final arc do you think the subplot with Ivan Dreyer will be resolved really clumsily?

I thought it was already resolved. (It was done terribly and was really anticlimactic but it kind of was.)

We actually still have not gotten any follow up to Obra from that Arc who is still palling around with Zeref.

No, it was introduced as a way for her to forget about friendship, then use the built up power of Fairy Glitter to successfully job out and put Gildarz even further over when he shows up to save the day. Later the First had her use it to cheese the power scouter event.
