Spoiler for Episode 114:

Now this episode really was made of awesome!

Erza uses a lot more of her armor than in the manga. In fact, it showcases some armor that she's only ever really used once before, like her Adamantine Armor and her Giant's Armor, all to great effect. They also did something interesting with Azuma's ultimate attack, Terra Clamale, by giving it some kind of face.

As for Jellal, they moved him from a dingy cell to a big, floating crystal that saps his magic power. (Also, we get a little cameo from Daphne, who's sitting in another cell). Anyway, I don't know what music they used after Erza got her second wind, but I want it and I want to hear it more. And when Erza did the deed and cut Azuma down...it was silhouetted, but it actually seemed graphic. Whatever was coming out of Azuma's chest didn't look even the slightest like blood, but it splattered and it was good.

Good animation, nifty music, and decent use of padding made this episode worth it.
