User blog comment:LastationLover5000/Fairy Tail 306 - In Which Gray Is Badass (Gray vs Rufus)/@comment-1272757-20121102040519

I was at first confused as to how Gray beat Rufus, since stuff like fast-paced conjuring/growth doesn't translate well outside of anime. But still, it was absolutely awesome. Also, from what I can tell it doesn't seem like Mavis is actively directing Team Fairy Tail, just explaining the plan as the team carries it out.

Anyways, what I'm personally looking forward to is an epic curbstomp for Sting and Rogue (again) courtesy of Gajeel and/or Laxus. The expressions when they realize they're facing a Dragon Slayer(s) as strong as or stronger than Natsu would be absolutely priceless.
