We didn’t get a second Seven Deadly Sins chapter, but 2 Fairy Tail chapters makes it worth it. We’ll be back on schedule until Obon, which is in July or August




Seven Deadly Sins 75

King apologizes to Diane, who still can’t recall where she’s heard the name Harlequin, King saying she must’ve imagined it.

Hauser asks why the Sins are here, since he’s certain they’re not trying to overthrow the kingdom, King explaining that Elizabeth was kidnapped. Hauser is shocked, Dreyfus attacking King from behind, who knocks him away, keeping him pinned with his spear. King interrogates Dreyfus, asking if he knows about the Holy Knights trying to resurrect the Demon Clan and Elizabeth being the final key to releasing them.

Guira and Hauser start to understand, Guira noting that Hendricksen’s plan involved making the second generation Holy Knights like her and Jericho as a way to fight the Demon Clan. King presses Dreyfus, asking if he was involved in the plan as well, Dreyfus amazed at King’s new power.





Elsewhere, Hendricksen and Arthur are fighting, laying waste to the town as a result.  Hendricksen wonders how much Arthur knows, Arthur taking advantage of him being lost in thought to attack from behind. Hendricksen easily blocks the flurry of attacks, saying Arthur shouldn’t hold back as he knocks the king down, pummeling him before he can recover.



Hendricksen says Arthur should be serious before Hendricksen kills him, but Arthur just provokes him by saying he doesn’t think Hendricksen is that powerful, even if he notices the black flames. A huge attack from Hendricksen, Hellblaze Scream, seems to destroy Arthur, but it’s reflected. The chapter ends as we see Meliodas is ready to protect Arthur in order to take back Elizabeth.







Magi 223

 Sheba and Arba have an emotional moment, since everyone has to sleep together. Arba says it’s like sharing a bed with your parents, but Sheba didn’t know her parents. Arba comforts her, Sheba thinking that she and Solomon are like the parents for everyone in the group.

Falan and Wahid’s relationship, which brought forth a child, makes Sheba wonder why some people gravitate towards each other, Falan thinking Sheba should try to get with Solomon.

Solomon and Arba return, Arba explaining that some species built a statue to worship Solomon, which infuriated him.

The other species ask about why there are so few elderly or young people in the magicians’ group, reminding us that they can control their aging. Arba thinks it wouldn’t be so bad to have more children, but Solomon and the others think it’s a waste, since they can live for hundreds of years without worrying about descendants.

Solomon says he respects his followers that show the familial love he never received, not having brothers and certainly not having any love from his father. He even thinks the species are following their lead, not his, in imitating the structure of families and the common ideal of love they all share.

Falan asks Solomon if he might be ready to have children, Solomon responding that Sheba’s like a child already, which disappoints Sheba.

Arba talks with Sheba, asking that she become Solomon’s wife, which shocks Sheba, since Arba and Solomon seemed more like they should be together. Arba insists that Sheba can support him, the others, herself included, too much like his servants, since they were part of a group that the Orthodoxy insisted should be Solomon’s friend. Sheba, on the other hand, is genuine in her interactions with Solomon and can keep him rooted. Solomon, Arba says, is worried he’ll become like his father and so she thinks Sheba will be able to be his equal in a way.



The idea is that since Solomon needs to understand the feeling of love from someone, but also needs to have a strong sense of duty, Arba will encourage him to be tough and Sheba will be his emotional support. Sheba is worried that Arba doesn’t respect her or that she can’t truly be Arba’s equal yet, Arba insisting that Sheba’s the only one she thinks can help Solomon and open up his heart.



The chapter ends as Sheba resolves to become Solomon’s wife, asking him out, but flatly rejected, suggesting she still has to work at it. 





World Trigger 58

 Everyone’s shocked, Jin reminding them that he’s going to try to prevent it and it’s the worst case scenario. Jin confirms that Kido said it’s okay for him to take Yuma as long as they stay within the emergence area. But Yuma’s concerned they can’t get to Osamu. Jin responds that Reiji’s squad will bring Osamu to them.

We return to the fight with Hyuse and Reiji’s squad. Hyuse has an advantage, but Karasuma utilizes a gunner trigger with properties like Asteroid, where you can control their path, Hyuse having some difficulty.

Konami attacks Hyuse from behind, but the older Neighbor blocks her strike, making her recoil as she senses danger in his Trigger. He tells Hyuse that they should push forward and not waste energy in this squabble.

Hyuse changes his Trigger’s form, firing a blast at Chika, embedding black shards in her that pull her towards him. Karasuma tries to fire again, Hyuse thinking he won’t be tricked again. But Reiji appears, punching at the vulnerable part of the shield and striking Hyuse directly.



Reiji explains that Hyuse’s Trigger is magnetic, each shard using the attraction/repulsion force to reduce the power of attacks or otherwise keep them away, or drag targets like Chika.

Reiji tells Karasuma to take Osamu and the C ranks away, Reiji and Konami holding off the two Neighbors here. Shinoda orders anyone in the vicinity to support Osamu and Karasuma, Miwa remembering what Jin told him before about protecting Osamu, saying that Tamakoma should solve its own problems and ignoring them.

The Neighbor from before who took out 6 Border members in quick succession is still targeted by others, who are being more cautious, thinking the Neighbors are trying to draw their fire so the new Rabits can capture the Ca ranks. The mysterious Neighbor notes that they’ve figured it out, not sure how to attack. We see Midorikawa, Yosuke and Izumi prepare to attack the Neighbor as the chapter ends.







Naruto 675

As Madara throws the black chakra rod at Sakura, Obito uses Kamui to teleport it away. But in the regular world, it’s revealed that he teleported Sakura herself away. She notices Kakashi lost his Sharingan, healing him as she explains the situation. She thinks to herself that since she was teleported away, Obito’s in danger. 



We hear a more specific explanation of what was going to happen: if he lost control of his body, then Black Zetsu could teleport out with Obito’s Sharingan. More importantly, if Madara gets both Rinnegan, his true power will awaken, Obito only managing to keep it from Madara by sheer will, since the Rinnegan isn’t originally his, but a transplant from Madara. She concludes that things will get worse, since Madara might be able to take Obito’s Rinnegan.

Madara, back with Obito in the Kamui dimension, notices that a seal he placed on Obito’s heart is gone, Obito explaining that Kakashi managed to nullify it when they fought before. But Madara thinks it’s ironic that both Obito and the other person he put the seal into realized that it prevented them from removing it themselves, so they couldn’t commit suicide.

The other person is revealed to be Rin, who used Kakashi’s attack to remove the seal. This was in Madara’s plan so Obito would fall into darkness. The whole time, Madara was manipulating things and utilizing events so that he could set Obito’s fall into motion, since he intended to utilize his potential by creating darkness where there wasn’t any before. Now, the only thing left to do is to take Obito’s left eye.

Naruto has sealed the Limbo Madara’s movements, moving to Kakashi’s position and healing his eye, only managing to recover a normal eye, thankfully. The group bickers about Madara’s imminent return with both Rinnegan and how Naruto’s being naïve in not keeping his guard up.

Kakashi remembers the trio’s ambitions, seeing that Naruto has far surpassed any Kage and that Sakura’s feelings towards Sasuke have likely changed, still wanting to save him in some way. But he doesn’t know Sasuke’s dream, now that Itachi is dead. Sakura says it was to become Hokage, but she wondered what he really meant by that.

The chapter ends as Kakashi says that Sasuke doesn’t have to tell them, but they should remember his lesson from when they first became genin: teamwork.







One Piece 746

Doflamingo reiterates the situation: no one can escape, you can’t contact the outside world and people will continue to randomly attack others with his Parasite power affecting them. He challenges them to fight, but also says they could easily die in this situation.

Back at the factory, the transformed toys now move to escape. Meanwhile, Kinemon meets up with Usopp and Robin’s group, Bartolomeo also appearing and fanboying over Usopp, since he’s notorious as Sogeking. Kinemon is being sought out by everyone, because of the Bird Cage scenario, so he changed back.

We return to Doflamingo taunting everyone, noting that there are 12 people he wants killed, 100 million Beri per head. The targets are: Zoro, Kinemon, Sabo, Kyros, Luffy, Rebecca, King Riku, Viola, Robin, Law, Franky and Usopp, who’s actually worth 500 million Beri because Doflamingo realizes he started all this by knocking Sugar unconscious. There are star ratings for everyone, Usopp worth 5 stars, even more than Luffy or others, ranging from 3 to 1.




Usopp, Robin, Kinemon, Rebecca and Sabo are all targeted in the factory area, Kinemon jumping into the Scrap Heap to find Kanjuro.

The people of Dressrosa are debating whether to fight or capture the 12 people. Meanwhile, Franky disappeared from where he was seemingly defeated.

Zoro has caught up with Luffy and the others, everyone getting their bearings straight. Kyros left the group, going to find Doflamingo, slashing through everyone in his path. Luffy explains the situation to Rebecca, who sees the connection between the one legged toy soldier and what she remembers of her father. Luffy says he’ll beat Doflamingo, telling Rebecca to just survive until then.

Law tries to tell Luffy they should escape, since killing Doflamingo will cut off Smile from Kaidou, who they were planning on fighting after leaving Doflamingo alive.

Isshou informs Bastille about the situation, telling them to capture Law and the Straw Hats, leaving Doflamingo be for the time being.

The chapter ends as Luffy leaps off the building, going straight for Doflamingo’s position.





Toriko 276

Komatsu and Sani discuss the data Toriko sent them, realizing it’s a beast with a Capture Level of 487, Tounyuudou (Soy Milk Road), a pun on what they’re based on, Wanyuudou, just with the kanji for Nyuudou altered to Milk Road.

We see the group of the Tounyuudou taunting Toriko, who understands that they were creating the illusions the whole time. Toriko says he’ll return the favor, initiating what I assume is a Routine that gives off the illusion that his Appetite Devil is eating the Tounyuudou in soup. They dissipate and we see the true landscape, seemingly barren. So even the threat of falling into an abyss was an illusion created by the Tounyuudou. 



Coco is amazed at Toriko’s technique, which he calls the Ultimate Routine. Toriko says he doesn’t even have to really fight anything up to Capture Level 600, meaning that he’s still way above the other three in strength after being in the Gourmet World for a year and a half.

Apparently Zebra knew it was all an illusion, the group moving on to drink the Soy Milk tears and eat the Tofu Skin from the smoke around the Tounyuudou. Komatsu prepares a feast with every ingredient they encountered so far (minus the few that were defeated on the Thorned Sea). Everyone loves it, Komatsu overcome with emotion of sharing food together with his friends.

In the distance, we hear a car and it’s the frog from before. The chapter ends on him trying to communicate with them and the group dumbfounded, since he only speaks in some frog language.







Bleach 579

Gremmy can’t believe he was killed by his own imagination running wild (as opposed to my thought that Kenpachi just slashed him again while he was powering up). As Kenpachi steps up to finish him, Gremmy says that Kenpachi was wrong: he wasn’t killed by his imagination backfiring on him: his imagination was perfect. He imagined all of Kenpachi’s strength, but Gremmy’s body couldn’t match up.

The conclusion is that either his body failed or his imagination couldn’t match up to Kenpachi’s real strength. His body disintegrates, revealing that his true form was his brain in a container. So his imagination truly failed, since even the body he imagined couldn’t keep up with his enhanced imagined idea of Kenpachi’s strength. He curses his loss, really wanting to have won this. So as he dies, he wishes for a world without imagination.



Because Gremmy died, the stone tower collapses. Kenpachi is impressed, especially as he coughs up blood and realizes he’s partly deaf because of the explosion.

But things get weird as we see that Yachiru disappeared, suggesting that she was potentially a manifestation of his Zanpakutou’s power that had somewhat independent existence. Kenpachi asks if the other members that have seen the battle and are at his side have seen Yachiru, the responses negative. He orders them to search, the group frightened as he ignores their objections that they can’t even sense her reiatsu.

Suddenly, the 11th division solders are zapped by Candice, her group, minus Bambietta, oddly enough, appearing to take the battle to Kenpachi as the chapter ends.




  


Fairy Tail 382-383

We see Kyouka reporting to Marde Guille that Face has failed to be activated and that Ezel and Franmalth are gone. Marde Guile brings up that Sayla and the Hell’s Core have also been defeated, making Kyouka even more concerned. She wonders if Marde Guile will bring forth END, but he responds they don’t have the required Curse power.

They needed to eliminate the Magic power, but Kyouka says they seem to be at a dead end, since Face was supposed to do that. Marde responds that she’s not looking at the big picture. He speaks of himself as a great tactician and even the loss of Face is but a minor bump. He asks Kyouka what they are, the Slave Star Angel repeating their status as Zeref’s demons and their goal of reviving END, speaking of humans as below them.

Suddenly, tentacles appear, binding Kyouka and causing her intense pain. Marde says she seems too fond of humans in capturing Erza and toying with her. Kyouka says it was to get information, but Marde thinks otherwise. He continues his torture for insulting him by playing with humans, who are supposed to not even be an interest to demons of Etherias level, those made by Zeref.



Marde still insists there’s no issue, but he is irked by the humans: he wonders if he should use Alegria, an unknown spell he possesses.

Natsu and Lucy are still looking for Gray and Mira, when they’re suddenly contacted by a relatively unknown member of Fairy Tail, Warren, who reassures them they’ve met up with Mira and she’s safe. Lucy, through Warren’s Telepathy magic, tells the others that Wendy and Charle have stopped Face.

Happy then tells Makarov through Warren that Hades’ soul told them to tell him to release the light, Makarov wondering if it’s Lumen Histoire, which we last saw him showing to Gildartz.

Warren suddenly faints, the others noticing a noise, Marde Guile having tapped into Warren’s Telepathy to talk with them. He says they’ll die today, unleashing Alegria, which starts to break down the Cube and suck people into the material. Marde reveals the Cube itself is like a prison, and also like a beast, consuming everyone. 



We see everyone seemingly frozen and absorbed into the Cube like statues, Silver thinking it was boring to just finish them off like that, but then senses something. Lucy has managed to avoid being absorbed, but Marde thinks that’s worse than just losing to Alegria as the chapter ends with her being the only hope Fairy Tail has left.



We start the next chapter with Lucy, still confused at what happened. Suddenly, the cube, in its monstrous form, starts to absorb the buildings below it, blasting through a cathedral.



Lucy has just heard all of this, not aware of what’s happening outside. Marde tells Tartaros that the Face operation is proceeding according to plan, meaning there was more to it than just the mere Face weapon itself. A huge torrent of water starts to pull Lucy into its waves, drawing her deeper into the cube.

But Marde also knows that one person has survived, promising a promotion to Nine Demon Gate to anyone who captures her and a reward to any Nine Demon Gate who does so. The grunts start chasing her, Lucy knocking away a few with her whip and avoiding the magic blasts another group fires at her, summoning Sagittarius, who defeats the stragglers still following her. But Lamy, still able to fight, spins towards Lucy, deflecting Sagittarius’ arrows. She reveals her Curse is Slipping, so projectiles are ineffective against her.
Lucy then summons Virgo in Sagittarius’ place. Virgo senses someone strong is approaching, Lucy summoning Loke to fight the Nine Demon Gate member Torafuza, who apparently uses something like a katana based Curse (meaning he’s potentially similar to Ezel).

Loke and Virgo are worried Lucy is in danger, since they both expend a lot of magic. They start to attack with greater vigor, but Jackal appears near Lucy, the Stellar Spirit mage concluding she has to fight him herself. He explodes her whip, knocking her away. Jackal continues to toy with her, Torafuza saying he should finish her off, but Jackal says that since Happy and Natsu are “dead”, he has to take out his anger on Lucy instead.

Lucy thinks to herself that the others aren’t dead, since she can still sense their magic power. She moves to summon another spirit, Virgo and Loke thinking that will kill her. The chapter ends as Lucy summons Aquarius and fainting at the strain on her body.
