Well I certainly wouldn't mind if they added filler to the Byzel arc, especially in regards to Elizabeth and Veronica. Both Natsu and I were pretty disappointed with how that arc ended in regards to the characterization of the sisters and Elizabeth's reaction to Veronica's death.

The problem (as Unok has said, and I agee with) is that the pacing might come off as a little slow for most people's liking. I also think the Gaiden chapters are too essential to the plot to be sold off alongside the magazine. But, yeah - the Byzel arc had a level of conclusiveness that the other arcs haven't really had.

If the current arc ends in less than 5 chapters and things are wrapped up nicely, then I'll probably end up agreeing with Unok. At this point, though - I can't see the anime introducing Arthur.
