Fairy Tail ep 168: Laxus vs. Raven Tail

Comments:

Fairy Tail 168 was a good episode. Millianna vs. Semas was sort of a filler battle, Eve vs. Rufus battle was interesting one to watch, however the final bomb came with Laxus vs. "Alexei". I had already forgotten about this whole "Lumen Historie" case in Fairy Tail, so it was a surprise even to me as I've read the manga. Next episode which is titled as Wendy vs. Cherie will be interesting as we will have conclusion to the Laxus vs. Raven Tail battle as well.

It indeed was a clever twist to make others see just a illusion of Laxus and 'Alexei' fighting.
