It really was, and one of things that really satisfied me with the Natsu's ideal vision of heaven was the conversation he had with Zeref. The reason I bring that up is because their entire relationship didn't really end off on a satisfying note in the original series especially when you consider the build up that Hiro had pushed once we found out they were brothers. When you see that resolution after their final fight it made that entire subplot extremely underwhelming, and I think Hiro did a nice job caping off their bond this way.

You know I could actually see that playing a part when it comes to the white mage's influence on the Fairy Tail Guild, and this may be me but Lucy being brainwashed by Lisanna could lead to an interesting situation after Natsu deals with Wraith.
What's been your thoughts on 100 Years Quest so far?
for me I feel like it's Hiro's way of making up for how the Alavarez arc turned out.
