User blog comment:Mangetsu20/A Battle Where Heroine Is Turned Whoreine (FT - 456)/@comment-25512707-20151015212208/@comment-4326112-20151016211213

I agree. When you boil it all down it's overall Meh with some Good, some Bad, and some Laughably Ridiculous. Between Natsu pacing himself (Happy's reaction was actually funny for once), Gajeel seeming to get an opponent of his own, everyone still believing they're in a battle to the death back at HQ, Erza still in trouble (I think the sand that keeps attacking her disables her Requip but that's just a guess on my part) and Mirajane's new form was definitely a plus. The minus was that we still focused waaaaaaaaay too much on Natsu and not enough on Gajeel or Wendy, not to mention the last 4-5 Pages of this Chapter was just mindless fanservice with the plot holding Lucy randsom JUST so that we can have another Chapter of Wows that I have to count. That and stabbing a man's but or kicking him in the jewels isn't funny. Overall, an average "meh" rating -w-
