Gerard's return was a bit of a surprise to me. Frankly I was hoping he was done with, at least for a while but they screwed that up when they revealed Mistgun's face. I just plain dislike the whole Gerard-Zeref thing. That was probably the worst arc in this manga so far.

Anyway this seems like a good point to take a break and let things develop a bit. I'll get back to this in a few months.
