There were quite a few things to like about this chapter from the get go.
I know the whole Natsu fighting zeref so early wasn't going to work out, but it comes back to the foundation of fairy tail, the friendship, which Natsu and Happy have that little moment here. Wouldn't be fairy tail without those moments. Next the wizard saints vs 3 of the 12 including God serana. I hope they don't rush that fight, it's something i'd love to see, and see some new powerful types of magic. Could be a whole new level. It's nice to give the other guilds a bit of face time to show they are there fighting on all fronts and that maybe the other dragon slayers (rogue & sting) will get a shot in light fighting 1 or 2 of the 12 rather that FT having all the glory in a sense. Escpecially since they were raised to be able to kill zeref too. And finally him wanting to kill brandish. This i understand, she's been bossing him around, he finally has his chance as he's weaker than her, it sets up the whole Lucy and her mother perfectly. Sure she wont die. Lucy will have the spotlight for the next chapter or two.
5/5 for me
