Apparently Toriko’s off this week along with One Piece

Seven Deadly Sins 70

The others don’t recognize Gowther, Guila seeing the tattoo and realizing he’s the Sin of Lust. Helbram and Hauser can’t believe it, since he doesn’t look anything like the wanted poster.

Gowther thanks Guila for protecting Diane, explaining that he figured out what was going on through looking at hers and Dreyfus’ memories. He challenges Dreyfus, who moves to defeat him. He stabs through Gowther, causing an explosion, leaving a huge hole in Gowther’s chest. He says that Gowther’s power, manipulating memories, is the most dangerous, so one should soundly defeat the user before they can utilize it.

But Gowther again shocks his opponent, moving while gravely injured and knocking Dreyfus into the air.

Suddenly, we’ve flashed back to years before, when Dreyfus and Hendricksen were younger. The two talk about the king saying he can prevent the Holy War, since his power, Vision, allows him to see the future. They’re concerned whether Holy Knights would even be needed, but Dreyfus says they’ll still protect the kingdom from monsters and the like.

Some children playing speak about starting the Holy War if they must, shocking Dreyfus. Back at home, Griamor speaks about how he wants to be a Holy Knight as well, making his father happy. He says that people claim Dreyfus is weaker than Zaratras, Gil’s father, but Dreyfus says he’s not sure. His wife, Anna, retorts that she’s stronger, again confusing Dreyfus.

Drinking with Meliodas, he compliments Zaratras’ strength, saying few people can match him in skill, though he thinks Dreyfus is better with the sword. He thinks the only thing Dreyfus lacks is ambition and experience, Dreyfus thinking to himself that one day he’ll become the Great Holy Knight. But Meliodas says he’s too late, Zaratras appearing in his form stabbed through with multiple swords, agonizing Dreyfus’s mind with the trauma.

The chapter ends as Gowther stares as Dreyfus, weeping in the form of a child, noting how weak the minds of humans are.

Magi 218

Sheba has befriended the manticore child, dubbing it Momo. Solomon explains that the Manticores told him the continent broke off recently, so someone’s trying to stop them from moving forward; so one of his followers notes that they should leave a certain thing with them and move on ahead of the others that are following them.

Sheba discovers that Momo’s father died through the tower making them eat each other in a frenzy. She feels guilty, but thinks she wasn’t the only one utilizing the tower for that purpose. But she ultimately says that she’s responsible, even if indirectly, since she knew that she was manipulating them against their will. The next day, she almost tells Momo about this, but relents, feeling bad for not doing so. She tells Solomon this and he comments that since she’s considering the feelings of those she regarded as beasts, he likes her now as a person. He also says she’ll be able to apologize to them eventually.

We see that an air fleet is using the mind control magic, forcing the Manticore to fight them as an army. Sheba is stunned, Solomon reminding her that for years, she was doing the same thing, putting herself above them and warping their minds all that time. She recalls this, concluding that Solomon’s group is the truly horrible ones, having saved her instead of killing her for the crimes she committed.

Solomon’s group reveals they were all once like her, doing the same awful things, but they still had goals, they still wanted to improve the world, so they thought they had no right to kill her, since she was in the same situation they were in before.

The chapter ends as the two groups conflict, the Orthodoxy condemning Solomon and people who fell from grace (falling into Depravity?).

World Trigger 52

The human Neighbors move out, since they know that the Earth Triggers don’t all have the ability to escape from the Rabits.  They’ll distract the humans while the Rabits capture the Trigger users.

Kitora tells everyone to run, that the Rabits are targeting the C rank trainees (probably because they don’t know which one has the immense amount of Trion that Chika possesses)

The new Rabit reveals an unexpected power, defeating Kitora and then absorbing her before she can Bail Out.

The other begins to run, but Chika’s frozen in fear. Natsume tries to save her, but is seemingly absorbed as well. Chika remembers everyone protecting her, including her friend that was captured by Neighbors years ago. She then gains the resolve, activating her Trigger to fight and protect her friends instead of being protected all the time. She unleashes a huge blast, saving Natsume and blowing off a third of the Rabit’s body.

The Rabit is still alive, Osamu finishing it off. He reports the situation to Shinoda, who says that they’ve gotten reports from others of similar Rabits appearing. He says that they’re sending the strongest squad to help them.

The chapter ends as we see it’s Konami, Karasuma and Reiji, strategizing based on Konami’s apparent unrivaled strength with her Trigger.

Naruto 669

Gai attacks Madara, seemingly pushing him back. It’s just the first step of his Eight Inner Gates Battle Formation, the second step following up Madara pressed down into a hole in the ground. Gai freezes at the second of five steps, Lee noting that the pain is unimaginable.

We see Madara in a hole much deeper than expected, commenting on the sheer power of the attack that uses air pressure to strike like a cannon. He decides to indulge Gai, since this kind of power is exceedingly rare.

Kakashi explains further to Gaara about the nature of the technique, releasing the limiters on your body’s strength. With all the gates released, one is stronger than even a Kage, but only for a limited time.

Gaara is concerned that Lee might be sad, but Lee says he’s fine with Gai having decided his fate.

Minato then decides they have to support him. He’s analyzed the black substance, figuring that it has a distance at which Madara can’t control it anymore and that Kakashi can teleport them with Kamui. Kakashi says he’s nearly blind in his Sharingan, so he’d have to get rather close, Minato asking Gaara to fly him on his sand. Gaara insists that it’d be too slow, but Minato gives Kakashi some of his kunai.

Lee unleashes 6 of the 8 gates, cursing his lack of power. But Minato assures him he’s still plenty strong to inspire Gai. He gives him one of his kunai and asks Lee to guard Gaara.

Gai unleashes the 5 steps of Night Elephant, freezing Madara in place with the air pressure. He cloaks himself in the black sage material, firing spheres at Gai, which Lee manages to teleport away with Minato’s kunai, which Minato teleports himself to and then moves away with them, implying he’s going to “die” from it.

Kakashi teleports a portion of the barrier around Madara away, Gai making contact with his final attack. Madara manages to withstand it, amazed at the power, as strong as Hashirama was.

The chapter ends as Naruto is revived, Obito having transferred the other half of Kurama into him.

Bleach 573

Kenpachi moves to where Yachiru and Isane are. Isane asks how Unohana is, Kenpachi simply saying she’s dead, confirming what many theorized for a while. He even says he killed her, noting his hatred for her to cover up his guilt he likely still holds. But Isane’s happy, since it means Kenpachi’s truly inherited the title.

The new Quincy is impressed at Kenpachi, but only in so much as they’ve imagined him to be strong.

The ground starts to quake, falling apart and reshaped to make a fitting stage for the Kenpachi to fight the still unnamed Quincy. He reveals he’s the true V, the Visionary, Gremmy Thoumeaux, and that of all the Stern Ritter, he’s the strongest.

Kenpachi simply attacks him, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Gremmy says all he did was imagine his body was harder than any steel and the attack was useless. But the attack succeeds, Kenpachi, like Zoro from One Piece, saying that once he realized that, all he had to do was cut steel.

The chapter ends as he says there’s nothing he can’t cut, because he’s the true Kenpachi now.

Fairy Tail 376

Franmalth boasts to Natsu that their magic can’t beat the demons’ curses. And it’s only 10 minutes until Face is activated. Horologium confirms this to Lucy and she says that everything’s up to Wendy now.

Wendy and Charle are looking for Face, finding a bunch of bugs because of the cave’s environment. Suddenly Ezel speaks, thinking Wendy won’t even be a challenge for him. He leaps at her, Wendy dodging. She thinks she has to run away, but decides that since she can’t evade him, she has to fight him directly, utilizing some magic to enhance her power, speed and general resistance, Ezel noting her enchantment specialty. Wendy uses Sky Dragon’s Roar, Ezel unaffected as he pushes through it. But then Wendy uses Sky Dragon’s Talon, kicking him in the face.

But even that doesn’t affect him as he unleashes his magic, based on 5 ancient Japanese swords, starting with Onimaru. He pushes forward with Juzumaru, Wendy unable to keep up as it looks like she’s defeated, Ezel picking her up. He shows her Face, only 5 minutes before it activates, languishing in the future of demons reigning supreme with their curses.

Charle tries to attack him, Ezel starting to eat her. But before he can finish her, Charle reminds Wendy of the air and the Dragon Slayer thinks that if she takes in this air with its high Eternano content, she can get even stronger.

The chapter ends as Wendy blasts Ezel back, Charle noting that she’s finally achieved Dragon Force, meaning that she’s at a new level of power.
