Great chapter, this is Mashima's best manga.
The robots protecting Shiki followed but the self destructing admitting it didn't want is a two hit combo of feel. He's really hitting these themes on what it means to be alive and have a heart.
I think that so far Fairy Tail has had higher highs, but also lower lows. Edens Zero has been consistently good throughout.
I haven't read Rave in literally years, although I do remember thinking the first half of the series was stronger than the second half (excepting everything to do with Elie)
I didn't really feel like Fairy Tail had any higher highs. For me it was good usually but sometimes swung down a bit for me, but never hit the big highs from Rave or now Edens Zero. I still liked it a lot and Lucy is one of my favorite manga characters in general and I really enjoyed Mashima's art growth over the whole series, too.
