Fairy Tail chapter seems to have been delayed, so we’ll hopefully have 2 next week




Seven Deadly Sins 74

King reveals Chastiefol’s 8th form, Pollen Garden, which protected Diane. Hauser’s wounds are healing, King explaining that the Sacred Tree creates pollen to slowly heal itself, taking centuries. He notes that they were lucky the group was in proximity to Diane, but Guira says that King was protecting everyone, even slightly, commenting on how foolishly selfless the Sins seem to be.



King explains that the Sacred Tree doesn’t exist for evil purposes, so he can draw out more power than Helbram, who uses it for his own selfish reasons, not to protect others.  He asks Helbram if he intends to continue his slaughter, Helbram speaking as if he’s compelled, not that he wants to.

Using his Link power, along with his own ability or magic of Blind Follow, he draws all the powers from those he’s linked to.

The two pose for battle, King with Chastiefol in spear form and Helbram spinning multiple swords around. They’re evenly matched, but King seems to have the overall advantage, Helbram struggling before King finishes him off, destroying the item that allows him to Link to others in the process.



Helbram thinks that their plan can still work, since they’re so close to unleashing the seal of the Demon Clan. He collapses, King getting near him. The two have a poignant moment, Helbram explaining that the helmet he has was a present he got for King in the human world. The chapter ends as King leaves Helbram to die, the helmet on his corpse as he moves to save Elizabeth, Diane recovered, thanks to Chastiefol’s power.







Magi 222.5

This week is a shorter omake-esque chapter, next week is a double issue, so the chapter might be a bit longer to compensate.

Because Aladdin’s power of Solomon’s Wisdom is only able to show things recorded by the Rukh’s White Flow, there are events in the other world that he cannot show, so we’re going to see some of them.

We see David looking into the great flow of the Rukh and recording it, deranged by what he sees.

He explains that he, having achieved a level of power unheard of before, is nearly able to see the future: or at the very least, see things in a way that is near god like in predictive power. He despairs at this power, not even caring about his son being born beyond that his existence is a necessary one. Everyone else seems like lesser beings to him, ignorant of this great truth.

David is convinced he has been given a special task by “God”. His mission is to become like God, to govern things on the human level. The goal seems to be similar to Magnostadt in that it’s a world ruled by magicians. He strove to extend his lifespan through various means.

Solomon, to David, is just another piece in the puzzle he still doesn’t completely understand. He thinks Solomon may continue his mission, though it may also go in a different direction. His fatalistic beliefs are emphasized over and over throughout this wall of text, his writings he left behind, unable to go against the flow of destiny.

The chapter ends on David closing the book and appearing satisfied.







World Trigger 57

The revelation that Kazama Bailed Out amazes the others, since he’s the #2 strongest in Border. Kikuchihara and Narasaka still want to fight, but Kazama advises against it, since his squad is all Attackers. They think there must be more to it, a Trion source they can target.

They’re convinced by Kazama to retreat, since Bailing Out delays your ability to return to battle more than simply leaving the battle physically.

Ko Murakami, of the squad who first learned about the cube transformation of those captured by the new Rabits, tries to fight off the new models to leave others time to escape.

But Tachikawa comes in, revealing an extension of Kogetsu called Whirlwind, which expends Trion to lengthen the blade temporarily. He defeats the Rabits, Shinoda directing him to take over Kazama squad’s duty of protecting the civilians and trainees, defeating the Trion soldiers.



Jin appears where Osamu and Yuma are, asking to borrow Yuma. He explains that he’s worried about Chika and Osamu. His Side Effect is telling him there are some possible futures, some of them very bad. The chapter ends as he explains that the worst one is not Chika being kidnapped, but Osamu dying.





Naruto 674

Madara unleashes a Lightning based attack, Naruto throwing one of his black staves at it, holding it off. Sasuke utilizes his Rinnegan, disappearing and reappearing behind Madara.

Naruto leaps forward to attack, Madara attacking with Limbo and Naruto holding it back with his other staff.  Madara attacks with a Storm Release technique, which Naruto dodges, Sasuke throwing a blade at Madara, which seems to miss. Madara has become seemingly imperceptible, Naruto only able to sense him, but Sasuke able to see him fine.

Sasuke realizes there are two Madaras, one that’s untouchable and almost imperceptible through Limbo and the physical one we see. Madara comprehends that the two of them can perceive his Limbo self, particularly Sasuke, so he goes to steal Sasuke’s left eye. But Sasuke’s sword stabs into Madara, Sasuke telling Naruto to see if he can kill Madara like that. We see that Sasuke attacked the Limbo Madara and that it returns to his original body after a certain period of time, so Sasuke and Naruto will team up against those two Madaras the next time he does it.

The plan is to seal his movements while he and his Limbo self are still overlapped, Shukaku volunteering to use his sand attacks to do so. Naruto utilizes a Magnet Release Rasengan, Sasuke saying he should fire it at him. Sasuke utilizes Six Path’s chakra as well, making his Chidori sage based. The two do a pincer attack on Madara, but he substituted his Limbo self, escaping in the process.



He steals Kakashi’s Sharingan, inserting it so he can start to activate a new Rinnegan.

Obito asks Sakura to destroy his Rinnegan, preventing Madara from using his full power.

Sasuke attacks, having gotten to Madara’s location quickly. He slashes Madara in half as the chapter ends on Madara teleporting into the Kamui dimension with Kakashi’s eye and attacking Sakura as she’s moving to destroy Obito’s Rinnegan.





One Piece 745

We see the people in charge of the Smile factory slightly concerned, but are quickly reassured that they’re in no danger, since the walls are made of Seastone, plus Trebol and Diamante are protecting them.

Robin meets up with her Revolutionary comrades, introducing them to Usopp. Meanwhile, Kinemon is still trying to pass himself off as Doflamingo and Zoro has gotten lost again, as usual.

Doflamingo, still beheaded, taunts Kyros, who attacks. But the real Doflamingo appears behind him, trying to behead him in turn. Luffy pushes Kyros down, both of them dodging the attack that cuts most of the top of the building they’re in off (which I’d think would hurt Pica in a way if he’s fused with the presumably stone building).

We see that there are two Doflamingos, attacking in unison, which Luffy manages to dodge. He counterattacks Doflamingo, who manages to defend himself with Armament Haki. He attacks Luffy from behind with his beheaded clone and then punches Luffy with Armament Haki from the front.

The others speculate that the fake Doflamingo is a marionette made of string, which is why it was able to keep talking after being decapitated. Doflamingo says that he’s planned something worse than making King Riku kill his own citizens and burn his city to the ground, telling Pica to get everyone not associated with him out of the building, Pica grabbing them with a stone hand and tossing them away.

Luffy and the others realize they’re virtually back where they started. Law explains the basic idea of Bird Cage, Doflamingo intending to kill everyone on the island before the truth can be revealed to those outside the island.

As people are running away, they’re stopped by a fence of Doflamingo’s strings that cuts like a knife, keeping them captured in the city. Doflamingo also uses Parasite to control the soldiers and make them destroy the buildings and slaughter people around them.

Pica, with his Devil Fruit power, moves the Royal Palace further away, keeping it out of the range of anyone. The Smile Factory and Flower Hills are also being moved, the chapter ending on them and Doflamingo giving a final ultimatum: the people can try to kill him in the Royal Palace or they can kill the people he’ll list and be paid handsomely for it.







Toriko 275

Toriko and Coco are divided on whether they believe the Real Mist to be real food or not, the frog’s offer still standing. Toriko enjoys it, Coco tentatively eating as the frog further explains that the Gourmet World is never what you expect, letting go of previous expectations to find new realizations.

Coco inquires about Real Mist, the frog explaining that it’s another weather pattern of Gourmet World, creating new sensory experiences, particularly of taste. Toriko apologizes about shooting the laser at the frog before, but observes that he didn’t dodge it this time. He’s been observing things since they started and realizes that this isn’t the frog he saw before. The frog starts to decay and fall over dead, a voice saying that they could just as easily die as eat when surrounded by Real Mist.

Komatsu is getting data from Toriko’s wristband through the Riddle Chapter and Sani continues to worry about them, since they’re surrounded.

Back in the Real Mist, the proprietor of the restaurant says they’ll pay in blood, but even the “frog” before them wasn’t enough. Another beast attacks Toriko and Coco from above, the pair dodging. More of the same Heel Leech appears, surrounding them.



Toriko reacts as if he’s being affected like the frog was, tearing off his clothes to find the same leech that was attacking the frog. He’s covered in countless leeches, starting to faint as the Real Mist dissipates. Coco confirms it was illusory and the leeches didn’t attack him because he was much more poisonous than Toriko. 

Coco starts to fight them, throwing out Poison Boomerangs: but one of the leeches grabs his foot from below him and attacks, but Coco reveals both he and Toriko have been Poison Dolls, so they were never in any real danger.  Poison Mist is released and the Heel Leeches all disintegrate.

Toriko and Coco discuss it, the Poison Life technique allowing Coco to create near perfect replicas of two people, though that’s his limit. Sani’s feelers he left with them were warning them, the true leader of the island, the Wanyuudou from before that Zebra attacked and others like him, appearing as the chapter ends on Toriko preparing to fight.







Bleach 578

Gremmy is dumbfounded that Kenpachi smashed the meteor into pieces with a single blow. He even says Kenpachi’s a complete monster, Kenpachi responding that it’s not complicated: he can cut anything.  Suddenly, he’s surrounded by even more copies of Gremmy, Kenpachi thinking that won’t work. But Gremmy says he’ll summon something with no form, so Kenpachi can’t cut it.

Kenpachi’s put into what amounts to a vacuum of space, the effects devastating on his body. Gremmy thinks there’s no way he can survive this, but Kenpachi manages to slash him in half, reminding the Quincy that he forgot to harden his body.



Gremmy’s copies pile onto Kenpachi and self destruct, but Kenpachi still manages to survive, albeit badly burned. Gremmy says now he just has to become stronger than even a monster. The Visionary is so focused on winning, something so new to him, that he doesn’t realize Kenpachi’s cut him again.


The chapter ends on Kenpachi saying that since he imagined Kenpachi to be a monster, his power backfired on him and he lost.
