Seven Deadly Sins 76

Meliodas and Hendricksen square off, Meliodas demanding Elizabeth, Hendricksen refusing as Meliodas rushes to attack, using his arm as a jump off point to strike from above. Hendricksen easily dodges, knocking Meliodas back, who’s relatively undamaged as well.

Elizabeth is still stunned that Margaret, her sister, is alive, the two of them still coping in their own ways with Veronica’s death, though Margaret only heard about it compared to Elizabeth actually being there. The younger sister speaks about them breaking out of the dungeon, but the Holy Knight from before appears, wondering how the princess got out of her cell. Elizabeth is aghast at the kingdom imprisoning her sister, but the knight responds that Margaret asked to be put in the dungeon. Before the Holy Knight can take her away, they’re suddenly knocked back by Hawk, who vows to protect Elizabeth. 

But the Holy Knight, enraged by Hawk being a pig for some reason, uses their power to teleport him to an unknown location, only a single spire visible in the darkness.

Elizabeth has been knocked unconscious, Margaret worried about her. The Holy Knight opens her cell, saying she’s free, as long as she has the courage to escape.

Hendricksen and the Holy Knight communicate through magic, confirming that Elizabeth has to be moved to a safer location, presumably a special place unique to the Holy Knight’s powers. The Holy Knight says that if Hendricksen is in a battle he should use “that” technique, but he says it’s not the right time.

Suddenly, Gilthunder appears from the sky, dark clouds allowing him to travel by lightning, and attacks Meliodas, who’s barely able to defend, since he regards Gil as a friend, plus the Tempest power’s speed.

Arthur thanks Meliodas, the two teaming up against Gilthunder and Hendricksen as the chapter ends.

Magi 224

Sheba continues to ask Solomon to date her, but he continues to reject her. Ugo’s confused, but Arba reminds him that Solomon left his father at the same age Sheba did, 12, so he might be trying to be a good father figure to her instead of a romantic partner.

Arba even acknowledges that Solomon might have to change his mind, since Sheba is the 3rd strongest magician in the group (meaning Arba, Sheba and Ugo are the three Magi of Solomon, most likely)

Sheba is visiting an isolation barrier area and feels hostility, communicating this back to Solomon. The limited numbers of staves have made the group separate the species as best they can, but there seem to be an unlimited number of species, so the difficulty is elsewhere. Some magicians in their group are stimulating conflict amongst the species in order to get rewards afterwards from the victors.

A conflict between the berserkers and centaurs is stopped by Solomon, the magicians expelled as punishment. They accuse Solomon of doing the same thing they are on a grander scale, abusing the species for his own gain. They even associate him with the mind breaking Gunud magic and make the other species think he’s trying to become the sole ruler of the world. Distrust is sown by suggesting that Solomon is far more than 22 years old, since he’s a great magician.

The general idea is that Solomon could become just like his father, a despotic tyrant who rules by power. Sheba breaks this up by demanding the berserkers kill Solomon. But they cannot, Sheba saying they have a weak will and have no proof of Solomon being cruel. She says that most of this conflict is based in fear and ignorance, not understanding each other. Solomon’s ideals have changed her for the better and she believes in him, not afraid of species that are stronger than her, but wanting to live as equals. She vows that if anyone forgets what Solomon has done, they should only look at her, changed from an Orthodox devotee to his loyal friend.

The chapter ends as Sheba encourages Solomon, who starts to recognize her as an equal, Arba looking on, happy that things seem to be going well.

World Trigger 59

Izumi asks his Operator, Yu, to send information to him, Yosuke and Shun; specifically about Azuma squad’s fight against Rambanein, the Neighbor with the powerful Gunner type Trigger. They contact the head of Azuma squad, who confirms that Rambanein’s power is far beyond theirs, so they have to keep moving if they want to stay in the fight.

Izumi thinks they could have a chance with two Attackers, but Arafune from another squad notes that he has a shield that stops the Egret Trigger’s power. Yu sends Izumi info about the surrounding area so the trio can strategize. The plan is to have a pincer attack and get him from behind.

Izumi distracts him, Yosuke and Shun following suit with new support Triggers or the specialized nature of their Attacker Trigger, which Rambanein realizes are just decoy attacks, nearly taking out Shun.  Rambanenin then figures out the composition of their squad, firing at where he thinks Izumi is, the attack missing since Izumi’s utilizing Meteor and Viper to create a combination Shooter Trigger called Tomahawk.

Rambanenin notes their skill, jumping into the air and firing in a spread pattern across the area to draw them out. He finds Shun, targeting him: but Midorikawa creates a smokescreen and the chapter ends on him managing to cut off half of one of Rambanein’s legs, saying he’s gotten too cocky.

Naruto 676 

 Madara appears from Kamui, Obito in tow as he reveals he’s gotten both Rinnegan, Black Zetsu having regained control of Obito’s body.

Sakura gains a new resolve as she’s with her two teammates, rushing to attack Madara as a distraction for Sasuke and Naruto. Madara stabs her through the chest with his staff. But Sakura still moves to strike, Madara recognizing the Hyakugou no Jutsu that Tsunade used.

Sakura’s attack hits an invisible wall, Sasuke revealing that Madara now has 4 other Limbo Shadow selves. Naruto and Sasuke attack, pulling Sakura back.

Madara starts his attack, utilizing an even greater Jibaku Tensei to create multiple meteor sized boulders and dropping them on the group. Naruto utilizes Kage Bunshin to make 4 clones to fight off Madara’s Limbo Shadows.  Sasuke and Naruto then utilize Susanoo and Bijuudama RasenShuriken respectively, destroying many of the boulders

Madara’s original body rips off his bony headband and speaks of a prophecy on the tablets passed down through the Uchiha family that when the one with the power of rebirth looks at the moon, the third eye that will unleash the power of the infinite dream will appear. Madara’s forehead reveals a third eye, not unlike Kaguya’s from the past as the chapter ends on him summoning the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

One Piece 747

Pica’s moving of the palace, Smile factory and the flower fields has connected the underground areas with the surface, revealing the people that were enslaved to those previously unaware.

Maynard, a Marine soldier who was infiltrating the tournament, explains the situation to Bastille, while Koala is discovering the secrets of many countries who tried to pass themselves off as pirates to use the weapons made by Doflamingo’s slaves. 

A Vice Admiral tells Isshou that they should capture Doflamingo, but he thinks otherwise, saying that doing that would just create a new cycle of violence. Isshou says the World Government can’t solve all the world’s problems, so they have to focus on protecting the citizens.

Back at the Palace, Doflamingo says that protecting the factory isn’t a concern, since it’s protected by Seastone. Doflamingo destroys the keys, saying there’s no chance they can stop them now. Trebol and Diamante apologize, Doflamingo saying it’s pointless to blame them for stuff that he can’t change anymore. He explains that he’s arranged that the Marines won’t attack him, but he sees Fujitora as a threat, so he may eliminate him if he’s no longer useful.

Pica says he could take everyone out if Doflamingo let him go all out (people shocked as his high pitched voice, since he’s so intimidating looking), but Doflamingo stops him, explaining that the game is deciding the king. If the others win, Riku will become king, but if Doflamingo wins, he’ll remain ruler.

A soldier laughs at Pica’s voice and is killed by Baby 5, Doflamingo explaining that he lost his mother at 8 and killed his father when he was 10, so he regards his crew as his family, and won’t forgive anyone who mocks them.

Franky, even after being beat up by Senor Pink and Machvise, had a reserve of cola so he could destroy the factory, sneaking away to find it.  He comes upon the building, preparing to fire his beam.

Luffy falls near Machvise and Senor Pink, using Gum Gum Balloon to soften his fall and running away after they realize everyone’s targeting them for the bounties Doflamingo put on their head.

Senor Pink catches Luffy’s leg and Machvise, using his” Super Weight” based Devil Fruit, slams on Luffy’s leg, but Zoro makes Derringer attack Machvise, releasing Luffy. They’re about to attack the people who’re shooting at them, but Isshou appears, suggesting that he’ll fight Luffy, Law and Zoro (Law still in his Seastone Cuffs)

Robin figures out that Pica’s connected the Colosseum to the Royal Palace Plateau, so they can meet up there by using the new paths created

The city, meanwhile, is getting destroyed as Pica becomes a stone giant, his voice as he says he’ll deal with the enemies making Luffy laugh as the chapter ends on Pica enraged at the Straw Hat captain.

Toriko 277

 The frog starts to speak in English, realizing he was speaking Frog-ese before, but slips into it again as he introduces himself.

His name is Mappy, a Travel Frog and we even get the name of his car, Careru (a pun on Kaeru, which can mean return home). Mappy was sent on the orders of the Daruma Hermit. Zebra remembers him (he was misnamed the Dharma Hermit a while back) and wonders what he wants. He borrowed his horse and has one of his ingredients in his Full Course, the, Daruma Hermit’s Tribute. Buranchi is also from the same village Mappy and the Daruma Hermit live in, so they wonder if they’ll meet him.

The group leaves with Mappy guiding them, though Careru is speeding ahead, the group rushing to keep up.

Mappy explains that Yutou Island is like a maze even when the mist clears. And Gourmet World’s Night hasn’t come up at the moment, so Toriko and the others were in luck. Mappy, who was explained to be an ingredient himself (along with Careru, oddly enough), is even stronger, Toriko’s strength sufficient according to Mappy, but not at the level of taking a coffee break on the Thorned Sea.

Night in Gourmet World is when the Eight Kings become active, the 8 strongest beasts in Gourmet World

The group suddenly has a reaction similar to when they were near an ingredient on Acacia’s Full Course. Mappy explains that it’s because they’re in the presence of the footprint of one of the Eight Beasts, Horse King Herakles. Even his mere footprint gives off such a presence that it’s overwhelming the others.

The sheer power can create places where many different beasts can gather and live, Komatsu considering it like a Gourmet National Heritage Site.  Even in Gourmet World, however, there are safe highways, the rare places where creatures have travelled so often since ancient times that they’re far more protected than most of Gourmet World.

Toriko notes that he and Komatsu were lucky to find safe spots and might’ve stumbled across one of those Gourmet Highways. Mappy then explains that they’d have to have a lot of Food Luck. He also says that the highways connect to 7 civilizations that used to exist, one of them still around: the Bewitching Food World.

The group comes across the Gold Swamp, a place that’s the major path to access the main island of Area 8, where Bewitching Food World is.  As they enter, they feel a sense of calm, but Mappy sees the appearance of Steel Clouds, saying they have to dive into the Gold Swamp or they’ll surely die, the chapter ending on that threat.

Bleach 580

We start where we left off, some of Kenpachi’s subordinates zapped to ashes by the lightning bolt from before. We see that Candice was the source, her Schrift, T, representing Thunderbolt. Giselle says her power’s still weak, since she didn’t kill everyone at once, Candice attacking again. But before she can release it, Kenpachi attacks from behind, the lightning directed at him instead.

Before Kenpachi can hit the ground, Meninas attacks him with a powerful punch, sending him crashing to the ground. Candice is amazed he still has as much energy as he does after fighting Gremmy. Liltotto explains to the enraged 11th division soldiers that their plan was to attack Kenpachi in a second wave after he was weakened. She then uses her power, the Glutton, to bite off the heads of the soldiers in front of her.

Kenpachi stands up again, Candice firing another blast at him in frustration. Meninas throws a huge portion of a building at a group of soldiers, crushing them, her ability, the Power, shown off even more than before.

Giselle is surrounded by soldiers, saying they should fight for their captain, not against her, but they attack anyway, one of them covered in her blood. Her power, Zombie, not only makes her seemingly unkillable by normal attacks, but when you’re exposed to her blood, you become her slave. She makes everyone in the area, exposed to her blood splashing around, commit seppuku.

Kenpachi is unable to move, beaten to within an inch of his life and the 4 Stern Ritter try to decide who gets to kill him. But the chapter ends as a huge blast of light appears behind them, shaped like the Substitute Shinigami Badge.

  

Fairy Tail 384

Lucy is near unconscious, thanking Aquarius for appearing, who is somewhat annoyed, though potentially concerned as well. She readies her attack, telling Lucy to get back as Lucy tells Jackal Aquarius is her strongest Stellar Spirit.

Jackal’s blown away, Loke and Virgo telling her to close one of the gates. But Torafusa swims through the water with ease, revealing it’s his favored environment. He slashes Aquarius, Loke and Virgo going to help her. But Jackal’s still able to fight, attacking them from behind and destroying them both in one attack.

Lucy’s unable to move, Lamy, Torafusa and Jackal all ready to finish her off. Jackal proposes to toy with her, Torafusa disagreeing and leaving them to their own devices. Lamy agrees with Jackal’s methods, joining in. But Jackal decides to blow Lamy up instead. As he’s about to attack Lucy, Aquarius pushes him back, protecting Lucy.

Aquarius says none of the basic Zodiac spirits can defeat Jackal. But since Lucy can summon 3 spirits at a time, she can manage to summon the Stellar Spirit King. But in order to do so, she must sacrifice one of her Golden Keys. And it has to be one with a special bond between the mage and spirit, so Aquarius says she must go.

The two debate this, Aquarius saying there’s no other way, but Lucy not wanting to sacrifice any of her friends to save everyone else.  Aquarius explains she was Lucy’s mother, Layla’s spirit and was passed onto Lucy. She didn’t like Lucy compared to Layla, but she stuck it out because she respected her mother and grew to tolerate Lucy.

Aquarius insists that there’s nothing more important now than saving the people you care about and making this sacrifice will accomplish that.  Lucy finally gains the resolve, Aquarius saying she’ll be sad to never see Lucy again, remembering all the time they spent together.

The Stellar Spirit King is summoned and with a single attack, slashes the Cube into pieces. As it collapses to the ground, Marde Guile and the Spirit King stand against each other as the chapter ends.
