I was a bit disappointing by the fact that Natsu was already thawed at at the beginning of the chapter. His "statue" was badass, and I didn't really want to see Silver's ice being thawed so easily. Probably better than a Natsu-thawing sub-plot, but I just wanted to see him frozen for a little longer. Completely remedied by the fact that he was thrown in with Lisanna, though.
Return of the female fanservice, but funnily enough, it's not from Gray. And I think Gray has never been fully naked like Natsu is here, except for that one panel in the Tenrou Island arc. Also funnily enough, Gray is still fully clothed over at Fairy Tail.
This is the first time we have gotten Lisanna fanservice, I believe! And also, NatsuxLisanna tease! I read that the author was only supporting NatsuxLucy, which got me sad, but after half a year of sadness, I'm happy to know that NaLi got fanservice outside of anime-original scenes as well. Anyone notice how Natsu reacts totally different to naked Lisanna compared to naked Lucy? Well, this could be as big of an argument for NaLu as for NaLi, but whatevs.
"Come, Sayla. It has been a while since I took care of you." "Kyouka-sama..." Cue Sayla lying in bed nude, several pages later. Seems like Mashima is gonna be writing some yuri from now on. :>
The Jellal vs Oración Seis was notably short for a chapter called "Jellal vs Oración Seis".
Makarov continues to be useless, while Happy becomes more and more useful. And while I thought it was obvious that Happy would tell Gray about what happened if not for the fact that it would cause a few problems in the scene, I remembered that Happy didn't actually see Natsu getting thawed out, so he must still be pretty traumatised, so it's justified, I guess.
So Elfman will turn on Fairy Tail. Well, thanks to the fact that his eyes have turned red, that fact probably wouldn't take too long to notice (if manga characters notices stuff like that). And looking at this current state, it doesn't look like he'll try to fit back in. It looks like he'd just "unexpectedly" hit someone from his own guild, making the others surprised and stuff. Which won't end well for him, unless something unexpected happens. Or maybe the Fairy Tail members will go full retard over their confusion, but I hope Mashima goes for a more original route.
