Unfortunately, the overal result of these is still a win for FT which is undoubtedly a cliche.
I will say it again. Since last chapter, when we literally got rid of Jura there was a prediction that Sting will win all FT members. That was a good one, yeah. But Of course, nobody can predict each and every small plot development, but the overall result here was predicted and, sadly for me, i don`t like it.


And i have a feeling that manga is rushed cause they shut the anime. i dont know if Mashima was asked to make the ark to end faster, but i really hate it when manga suffers cause of exsternal issues.
