Them beastly dragons
Wow!This Chapter is completely unexpected and the way how Hiro put off Face activation is mind blowing.I didn't saw through this.The designs of Mettalicana and Gradeeney are awesome.I didn't liked the way how Igneel vs Acnologia's fight off-panel'd.
Art in this chapter is awesome and panels were nicely used by hiro sensei.
Pacing and the progression of the story is neat and I liked the way how hiro emphasized on the feelings of the wizards and their reactions onto face's activation.Would have been better if hiro emphasized more on it for a chapter or so but nonetheless it is neat.
Regarding END.....
Zeref showed an affection that a father shows to his long lost son(Natsu).I am not saying Zeref is natsu's father just saying.Zeref did said in Tenrou Island that..."I see you still don't have the power to kill me...." and mentioned on several occasions that "....kill me Natsu",".......stop me Natsu" along those lines and from the manga we learned that only END has the power to kill the Zeref and according to Zeref only Natsu has the power to kill him.There are all the hints given to us so far along with that small Zeref-natsu meeting in the chapter - "To kill or let live".Yup may be possible
Has Tartaros even ever seen E.N.D before?If they did saw END then they would pretty well know whether Natsu is END or not.Assuming they know how END looks and how they never spoke of Natsu or anything....Natsu may not be END.
Now again assuming they knew END but they didn't recognise Natsu being END may be a change in appearance of character from Natsu to END.
Nonetheless from what Manga showed till now,definitely Mard Geer knows about it.Seeing how Mard geer ignored Natsu and called "who are you ?" in their first appearance itself is a stone in water for Natsu is a END theory.It may be a matter of change in appearance or Natsu may not be END!.Or We can put it in another way by saying none of them Knows Natsu is END because all of the Tartarus members seen END only in Aetherious form.
Now coming most asked and most discussing topic of the chapter....Dargons....From where they came ?.Hmm.....CR translations implying that "Dragons have been released!" as quoted by Igneel in this chapter.

Released ? Are they sealed or they just decided to show up as this is the right time ?.If they did sealed back then Igneel didn't ?.Hiro yet to explain us this..I am thinking It was all Layla's doing(Just random,baseless,clueless assumption).
Just to let you people know incase if you don't know...
There won't be a chapter this week!
