I don't know why but I felt that the fight between Laxus and Hades was somewhat forced. Compared to Wendy and Ezel or Ur and Gray/Lyon, it just doesn't have the same impact compared to them. Honestly, I would have preferred if Laxus had ended up going against. While Ivan wasn't powerful, he did leave a lasting impact on Laxus' life which I feel would have been interesting to go over. That may just be me but eh.

Also, Irene is the best character out of Alverez. Next to August, it's nice to see a "traditional" mage in a series where wizards use swords, martial arts, and even socks. I especially like her hat and I want one just like it, preferably in the color purple. I would store so much stuff in that, I would practically be a cartoon character. I await the day when Highest and Ash fanonize her for their own nefarious reasons.

Overall, I thought this was a fun chapter, fairly enjoyable.
