Go Gray! Of course, people will discredit this and say this just means Rufus is weak, even though it's clearly not true. That was awesome from Gray, able to use his creation magic too fast for Rufus. I'm not sure what he did against the flames there though, did he just run through them then create the swords again? Pretty cool though, I love how he took his hat at the end . Next week's chapter is called "The Legion of Hungry Wolves" so I'm guessing that we'll go back to Natsu's team.

Enjoyed what I got to see out of the Erza VS Erza fight, and Gray is always awesome. Also, along with Natsu, the iron dragon slayer is my favorite character now. He's fighting this half human/cat and is bound and determined to make it his cat since he's the only dragon slayer without one.

The theme park power was ridiculous and boring to read but besides that good arc thus far and look forward to being 100% caught up soon enough!

Looks like Rufus’ magic was not as it was all hyped up to be, I get the sense that despite him able to create magic based on what he memorised, they’re not as strong as the original. But it was neat to see the extent of his magic and what it can do, it’s formidable but Gray pretty much exploited its obvious weakness, that was awesome!

***** yeah, go Gray! That was kickass, so many new moves, can’t wait to see this animated and into games. He totally got his revenge and more (he became hax after stripping lmao, typical), and lol @ him wearing the hat after haha. I’m glad he didn’t win by a nakama power up (though I know it seemed he was fuelled by his emotions), but still making so many ice makes for Rufus to not keep up was a badass idea.

Gray has known to go through flames (like with Fukuro using Natsu’s flames on him, he managed to freeze them) and he could probably auto freeze through his body with his ice magic to make it cooler maybe and still go through, so I’m going to assume his magic has become that good with second origin as well to go through the flames like nothing (he's got high endurance as it is), so it’s sort of ironic, fire mages are to his advantage not the other way round haha.

Yep, looks like we’re back to Natsu’s team, which means more insight on the princess and her role, and possible some fighting going on. But seriously they could have had Jellal’s team tag into it, I wonder if they told them, hm. But yeah, I hope Mira gets to fight and we might see another version of her Satan Soul, everyone else we’ve already got a good look at their powers as it is.

Natsu’s expression was priceless once he saw Eraz vs Eraz, lmao. Yeah, if there was any point in that whole arc, it was making Gajeel and Pantherlily badass. I agree the theme park fights were stupid (more comedic than serious, but there was a point to it plot wise in the end lol), I still don’t count them as proper fights to use as feats for Natsu and Gray, they were nowhere near trying..

Just started new arc, and it's starting out great. Looks like Natsu, Gray, and 6 others will attempt to become S Class Mages by taking a test. Sucks that I already know Natsu won't win, but still love these kind of arcs. Also, I don't know how to feel about Lussiana being back. I'm starting to get that very cliche feeling of main characters being unstoppable no matter what which I hate. It's fine if it's that way but don't let the reader know, it'll start ruining potential buildup for a character death, even if there isn't one

Now we can totally talk about the whole Lissana thing, looks like they both forgot about their promise as kids, or those two and happy being a family, it seems since she got back she's gotten less time with Natsu and more time with everyone else lmao, and then she fades into the background again, wtf. The only upside there is that filler gives her some limelight, all I can say positively, lol.

Now that they're showing that dragon slayer tension scene (oh man are Natsu and Happy mad, lmao). Do you believe that Sting and Rogue really killed their dragons and then had their dragon lacrima put inside them? They treat their Exceed very well, they don't see the type either to do that to loving parents. But later on we know, those two dragons have epic names (forgot what they were).

There is only one legit reason I can think of, as up to the latest chap we know...And for some reason, the creepy animal thing and the pumpkin host guy seem more freaky and fitting seeing it is Halloween haha, but finally some action next week with FT kicking *****. Then more action after as the tourney finally begins, can't wait for the fights.
