Got a little theory on Deus Sema: have you noticed that before Erza struck her blow a number of "∞" appeared to the screen, constantly switching with "0". As far as I remember, I have never seen those symbols appearing before this particular fight, namely when deus eques.

Could actually be that Hiro intended Irene to have gone back and forth between enchanting her own daughter and letting her run to oblivion? To go against this evidence, however, there was the fact that the last symbols we are let to see is a "0", and also Irene apparent disbelief when Erza shattered the meteor.

Still, I wonder if that was actually casual or not. If the latter is true,I could see the umpteenth display of outrageous force displayed by Titania as one of the subtlest pieces and most well thought piece of storytelling that Hiro has ever pulled off. But I think I am giving him way too much credit: Togashi he ain't, for better or worse.
