Garbage.

That's the quality of the story's content: Deteriorating.

I feel like Hiro is burning himself on too many ends of the candle. You know how at one point you called out Kubo for being lazy for his, for the most part, BLANK illustrated panels and usually indulging himself with his (as Tekking called it) his "White Color Fetish", I can care less. If he paints artistry that rivals the Mona Lisa but has really no context on telling a GOOD STORY, then I feel more compelled to feel attached to Kubo's storytelling than Hiro's, FLAWS and ALL.

You can pretty much tell that Hiro is going on the path of self destruction that Toriyama was placing himself on when trying to end his Mangaka serialization. The only thing that saved him (as is saving Fairy Tail, currently) was the Anime's popularity and the Filler adaptions freely taken advantage of to make it feel fresh and new from the Manga's Canon. I hope Fairy Tail's Anime takes a few pointers, cause at this rate, they may need to do that if they want the Anime to stand ATOP from the Manga's shitty endgame outcome.

That's all my thoughts regarding this. The chapter was boring and the action is disinteresting to me :/
