It sounds to me like this chapter is going to be followed (by which I mean already is) by a storm of exaggerated rage. Of course, I'm not surprised, but it does feel like I'm reliving the times when I was reading the Code Geass section.
Spoiler for Chapter 255:

I know a lot of people have been predicting what would happen, but not only was it too accurate of a prediction, but it really was too soon.

Well considering that the outcome I'm hearing about was one of two most likely, I don't see how it's such a hugely bad thing. Also, if my memory can recall things I've read over the past week, the majority of the fanbase where crying that the old characters were gone, and that they'd end up being gone too long. But course I suspect everyone is going to cry about the opposite now.

Still, there are a number of loose threads that are barely keeping my attention for this series. But I'm sure the fanbase count has already lost a digit or two by now.

And I'm confident, as I could be with every anime/manga with this kind of fanbase, that if I placed a £1000 bet that they would still be reading next week to complain that I would win. It's just the knee jerk way in which communities like this behave.
I'm rather glad that I have the ability to place realistic expectations in series like this.
