Makarov is actually 89-90 -- which  is very old, but not Hades old. You're probably right though, maybe just a few years left for her. I shall miss her, was always a fan of Ultear since she was revealed to be a dark mage playing Jellal for a fool.

I don't know who or what Ikaruga  and Senran Kagura are, so the reference is lost on me.

All I want is for Mashima not to screw over just another powerful Dark Guild. Sabertooth was a waste of space in the end. Taking villains seriously would be nice. Oh well, I'm used to it.
