No, really Knight? You're giving Hiro a LOT more credit for his writing skills than you should. He's not that inventive as to do a twist like that. Tactically speaking, most of his Spriggan strategies are simplistic. Surround the enemy on all sides with overwhelming odds stacked against them. Send a Vanguard to bomb them unawares, allow a forward front unit of Wahl's to strike at the enemy from a far distance. A lot of the main force has yet to even REACH Magnolia. So yeah, again, this isn't a intercontinental invasion and more of a "The World versus Fairy Tail" as it stands. The pointlessness of introducing a new continent and its empire was just to justify Hiro's desire to create his own generic elite of baddies that aren't the Demons from the Tartaros Arc (even though Zeref very well could have made 2.0 Etherious and learned from his mistakes prior...it's well within his power to yet not taken advantage of -shrugs- Eh, I guess Hiro knew that'd be too redundant so..."human" baddies now?)

Guilty Gear named people IRONICALLY bad. Hiro is just going off weird "American-ish" names. Bradman is a HORRIBLE name choice for someone who's being hailed as the fuckin GRIM REAPER. I'd find it funnier if he named the man Grim because of his dour moods. But that'd again be giving him too much credit, now wouldn't it?

Yes, seeing Kagura was a nice treat and the fact she's in the Cover Art design that we saw in a Cover Page Chapters ago is also a pleasant surprise. Aside from Erza, I think she, Minerva and Jenny are the strongest female Mages on the Blue Saber Heel front. (See what I did there?) Will that make a difference? I dunno, but at the current pace anything is fuckin' possible cause FRIENDS can do ANYTHING TOGETHER! -cracks-

Again, you're giving this author too much credit. Fairy Tail, running away? Technically losing? Pragmatism isn't Hiro's strong suit. He's GOING to settle this war at Magnolia and nowhere else. That's how dumbed down we're getting here, Knight. It's Fairy Tail vs Zeref. That's all this has boiled down to.

And yes, Merry Christmas to you too ^^
