So the voice refers to Makarov not Erza. Okay i'm fine with that. Natsu vs Gray turns out to be for a stupid reason again, both side just weren't thinking. And we get another random out of nowhere in Jellal + OS. Who's next Ichiya appearing to rescue Erza. -_- Well there's one good thing, actually two no it's three yeah three. Natsu vs. Gray ends. August actually doing something noteworthy. Erza-Irene relationship is going to be answered soon. Truth be told, i'm not interested in Erza-Irene thing much, so i'm hoping it'll be quickly resolve.

I knew "Irene is Erza's mom" was too easy for Mashima. Though you'd think Erza would make the observation that she's facing off against someone who kinda looks like her. Yeah, she's done it once before in Edolas, but a little acknowledgement would've been fine.
My guess is either she's Future Erza who came through an Eclipse gate (Zeref would know how to use one, since he made it), or some other magic mumbo jumbo split Irene off from Erza. I feel the latter is more likely since Mashima already played the "evil self from the future" card with Rogue, but imagine: what if Irene came from the future because she regretted stopping Gray from killing E.N.D. when she had the chance? It probably won't happen, though... And even though I'm still holding onto hope that we haven't seen the last of E.N.D., I can't tell what Mashima even wants to do with him at this point. Every major development surrounding him in this arc felt less like a huge revelation and more like hitting points on a list. After all that buildup in the previous arc, I just don't feel any real tension about him anymore...

This chapter really should have had a few extra pages to reveal who or what Eileen actually is and not a cliffhanger that doesn't actually give you anything. These last few chapters have been poorly done for a variety of reasons, it would have been nice to have one that actually moved things forward. Hopefully, we'll get that next chapter.
With that said, I would love it if Eileen was actually trolling Erza, that in actuality Eileen has zero relation to Erza and she was just messing with her for some reason.

Yeah that last page is more "wha?" than anything else. Not even a shocking "what the heck!?" but just moderate confusion. Were they originally one person and split in their childhood? I don't know. Presumably not a future version of her since she doesn't appear to use remotely similar magic. If they were both one super child of magic then I could see one of them splitting the types of magic they had.
Well, whatever. We'll find out later. At least the idiots trying to kill each other have calmed down. Though naturally taking themselves out of the fight for the time being. And now Erza who I still say should have screwed up arms after taking those attacks is going to face off against her...clone...future self...something...person.

Spoiler for 507:
Also, I think it's interesting (or blatantly intentional) that Jellal and Erza are simultaneously confronting the strongest two spriggans. (Except the other Dragneel? I guess?)

Hm...It seems if they are both indeed part of one, then before we saw incomplete Erza!
Erza needs her complete form. After all Gray god demon slayer powers, Natsu - E.N.D. We need power-up for Erza now!
