Well Damn,
This was one of the best chapters we've had in a while by far. Not taking away from the previous chapters but it really kicked things into gear. First seeing Natsu with a big head, reminded me of a bobblehead haha, but we got a good laugh out of it and it wouldn't be right to not have some funny and pervy stuff in a chapter would it? Now to the actual point, it's great to kick things off with the sheer magical power August is giving off just walking across the countryside to cause such a shock in them. I can't wait to see what he can actually do. Safe to say Natsu can't do anything to fight him in these times.
Next we skip over to Gajeels fight. It's all great for the Gajeel/Levy fans but it shows the true power that can truely come from the solid scrip magic, just making anything into reality through writing. WHat i'm hoping to see is some Iron shadow drive again with some dragon force from gajeel. I feel that will be a bit later once levy gets hurt. I do agree with others though, for light to work like that why didn't Sting's magic have more of an effect, i feel more of the dragon slayers should have a shot at this.
Now what has crept up on us, Achnologia and Eileen showdown, this is going to be amazing if it happens. She is using enough magic power to change the flow of magic itself that panics Zeref. I'm glad she isn't wasted in the story, we can a real clash of the titans feel from all of this. But one thing that makes me thing she wont last too long is what August said before.
When Achnologia took out Serena, he held back saying it wasn't a foe that they could handle, was he speaking of himself aswell? If so, Eileen and August having the same kind of power, does that mean she's doomed to fail. Well i hope we get a decent fight out of it either way, with some epic new magic going on.
10/10 for this chapter
Next chapter: The third seal
That's got to have something to do with Mavis and the one true magic. Though when it gets down to 1... O_O
No. More like he is talking from the view of Jacob. >>>

So far from the hype and portrayal, August and Irene are strong. I doubt they are strong enough to fight against Acnologia on equal ground but they can manage to put some fight against Acno. And more like Irene is all planned to fight Acnologia. Hopefully, I am expecting a twist in the next chapter.
It wasn't even possible to accurately predict who all the supposed guests are as the one labelled as 3rd guests even haven't shown up xd
We're getting a Yukino & Sorano reunion. Good to see that Hiro hasn't forgotten about their relationship and are we getting close to a confession from Gajeel to Levi or vice versa?
Most intersting part though was Irene's behavior. The first time she started talking about angels could still be considered as just some trivia, however that she keeps going on about it, indicates there's a personal connection.
And now back to our weekly topic of discussion what next week's chapter title could mean

I'm going for that it has something to do with Irene, that the other two seals were connected with the other two angels and that she's the third.
Next chapter "Third Seal">>>

<<< Remember it?!. In that chapter, Third Seal is Jellal Fernandez. He is the last seal to activate the Face and to eradicate magic from the Continent. The end result of which is to revive END. For some reason CR translated chapter 368 as "The Third Ward". So now I am curious to see how CR will translate next chapter's title.
Whenever someone mentions a seal, I can't stop but always think about this

. Who is that ward and what kinda seal is still a question. I am betting Anna Heartfilia.
Yes as usual back to our Title fights for next chapter. That could be a possibility that Irene might be the Third Seal but but if she is then I don't think why Juliet Sun and Heine Lunasea will also be seal. That would be straight easy. Maybe if Irene is the seal and other two aren't!. Because Irene said both Juliet & Heine can join the front while she planning to counter Acnologia. If they were the seals then she could have kept them with her.
I am also thinking that Irene is planning to revive END so that she can fight Acnologia. We all knew Acnologia fears END or so Igneels says. But the question would be how come Irene knew it. But taking she knew all the stuff about Zonia conflict, it won't be a surprise if she knew about END stuff.
As usual I will put my assumptions,
1) Like you said Maybe Irene, Juliet & Heine stuff.
2) A seal pertaining to END
3) Something related to solely Acnologia alone. A seal on Acnologia whatever it maybe.
4) Like in chapter 468, next chapter maybe about someone else who is carrying somekinda seal. Or maybe a Jellal-Troll again.
5) Maybe a seal that is pertaining to the defeated Black Angel(Black Heavenly Maiden) at Zonia Mountain.
6) A seal that is something to do with FH.
7) A seal that is something do with God Serena.
8) Just a Troll-Title by Sensei for the sake of countdown.
9) I don't know.
Any more thoughts?!.
When Irene said that the scarlet maiden will have the last laugh she said after that 'the society has taken to referring to me as the scarlet despsair'.I thought that line was interesting and I think Irene might be pretty old.From that line its seems she has lived through generations for some reason.
Also I think towards the last Acno will probably fight team Natsu in there full power.
Erza will have her Irene powerup
Gray will have Des
Natsu and Wendy will have their final form df
Lucy will have her final powerup too.
I have a feeling that its gonna be like Team 7 vs Kaguya.
If she is that old then how can she be a relative to Erza of this era?!. Maybe a Great Great Great Great Grandmother?!>One Great = 100 years(1 Generation)<. So far everyone except August seems like young Spriggans. Only August is old by appearance.
I think you forgot. I don't see Acnologia fighting Team Natsu. It was foreshadowed that it is the 5 Dragon Slayers(Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, Rogue) that are said to defeat Acnologia,

. They were sent to the future from 400 years back for this sole purpose. Leading Natsu from the front, I think all the 5 DS'ers(maybe with Erik, Laxus, God Serena) defeats Acnologia. But then again we also had that foreshadowing of Zeref Vs Acnologia but that depends on when Zeref is going to get FH(fairy heart).
So far in the manga, these match-ups are decided more or less,
END Vs Gray
Acnologia Vs DS'ers
Zeref Vs Acnologia
Gildarts Vs Travelling(Endless battle for him

).
