Must’ve missed the detail that World Trigger is off this week. Shonen Jump didn’t mention it either. Also, Magi is on break next week, so we’ll only be short one series next week, thankfully

Seven Deadly Sins 82

Hendricksen is enraged, attacking Gil for his betrayal, Gilthunder responding he was never on his side to begin with, shocking the other Holy Knight. Gil dodges Hendricksen’s attack, knocking him away. He tells Meliodas he’ll take care of the rest, having waited 10 years for this; to avenge his father’s death by defeating his murderer.

The masked Holy Knight wonders how long Meliodas knew, the Sin of Wrath responding it was a while ago, roughly when they first met Diane after the Sins split up, very early in the series, relatively speaking. And he figured out about Margaret just recently. She was a hostage, presumably of the masked Holy Knight and killing the beast nullified the curse that was preventing Gil from betraying Hendricksen.

Meliodas figured that since Gil wouldn’t betray his sense of justice if it was just his life in danger, someone else had to be involved.

The Knight’s Creed is important to Gil, because it’s the path he chose, seeking to be as strong as Meliodas and his father. Margaret encouraged him back then, Meliodas even joking that she was the more assertive one in their “relationship”

Later, Gil tells Meliodas on Kingdom Founding Day that something is going to happen to the Sins, but he can’t tell them what. Meliodas calms him down, encouraging him with a charm in the form of a mantra; to say that he’s stronger than any of the Seven Deadly Sins. Gil saying this recently hinted to Meliodas that Gil was under pressure from somewhere.

The masked Holy Knight is astonished, since Meliodas was going all out, Meliodas responding that he had to respond in kind to Gil’s resolve.

Gilthunder attacks Hendricksen, stabbing him through the gut and unleashing his full power, slamming him into a cliff nearby.

King, Diane and the others notice the power and that the fighting has ceased, thinking Meliodas might be in danger. But Meliodas, Gilthunder and Margaret all appear, the chapter ending as Meliodas tells the others they have to save Elizabeth.

I doubt Hendricksen will go out like that, especially since he’s likely got a backup plan or a trump card involving the Demon Clan and its blood that he likely ingested.

Magi 230

Solomon tells the others they have to stop David, saying he must be at the Cathedral District.

Meanwhile, David and some of his underlings are attacking a village protected by Solomon’s staves. Solomon and his group find him and they clash. Solomon demands to know why they attacked, David saying they were offering a great quantity of magoi to Ill Ilah for the anniversary of his descent. He emphasizes that he personally killed Setta, stripping him of his flesh and bones, killing him slowly.

Solomon is enraged, attacking David with immense magic. The others also attack, but each volley is knocked aside by David, even causing collateral damage. David declares that the Resistance must all be offered to God, including the species that allied with them.

Solomon responds they don’t need such a God, attacking David and directing his magic to attack the other Orthodox members, who start a ritual to self destruct themselves and take everyone with them. But Solomon moves to push them out of range, the Orthodoxy pushing back against him.

David and Solomon talk, Solomon inquiring about David’s motivations. David responds that all of this was destined and that he will now become one with God. He moves towards Solomon, an explosion knocking Solomon out.

The chapter ends as we see David gave Solomon his staff, hoping that he might be able to change things, since David despaired at his destiny, which he hopes Solomon will not seek out through magic. As noted earlier, Magi’s on break next week.

  

Naruto 682

Naruto and Sasuke plan to use “that” jutsu, something I think was hinted at early on after the timeskip by Jiraiya. Black Zetsu thinks it’s useless, since Kaguya is the originator of all chakra.

Naruto’s Shadow Clone talks to Kakashi and Sakura about the situation, thinking they have to take a gamble in this situation.

Sasuke’s a bit unsure of whether it’ll work, but Naruto convinces him, Sasuke using the Amaterasu to distract Kaguya, Naruto unleashing his Reverse Harem jutsu, summoning numerous Shadow Clones, then turning them into naked men. Sakura’s astonished, thinking this is an insane idea, but Naruto thinks there’s a pattern that the stronger the person, the more likely it’ll work (technically it did work on the 3rd Hokage in the early chapters).

Naruto punches Kaguya, he and Sasuke making a pincer formation to use their sealing technique. But before it can land, Kaguya transports them to a new location, the sheer cold freezing them in blocks of ice

Kaguya pulls back, Sasuke getting him and Naruto out of the ice with Amaterasu and a Kagutsuchi technique.

Sasuke and Naruto, concluding the Sexy Jutsu failed, agree to use Sasuke’s plan.

Black Zetsu suggests that they separate Naruto and Sasuke, taking them out individually. Kaguya agrees, summoning a gateway, pulling Sasuke through it from behind, into a desert world as the chapter ends.

One Piece 751

Bastille tells the other Marines to stop attacking, since he knows Sabo is now a Logia. But even without using these powers, Sabo can crush a bazooka with his bare hands. Bastille tries to attack, but Sabo’s Dragon Talon technique breaks his Shark Cutter Sword. As Sabo’s about to crush Bastille’s helmet, Fujitora attacks with his Devil Fruit, the meteor barely able to get through Bird Cage, sliced into pieces, the attack range much wider, which concerns Fujitora as a Marine.

Sabo has burned Bastille, not quite killing him. Fujitora confirms that Sabo, Ace and Luffy are sworn blood brothers, Sabo saying that he will always come to Luffy’s aid, no matter what the situation. They clash as the scene moves elsewhere.

Luffy, Abdullah, Jeet and Ushi meet up with Cavendish and the others. The Funk Brothers find Luffy, telling him they’ve found a passage that’ll take them right to the Sunflower Fields near the Palace. Abdullah and Jeet fall off Ushi as Luffy goes through the tunnel.

Luffy’s Den Den Mushi rings, Robin contacting them about finding the key to Trafalgar’s cuffs. The group plan to meet up, but the chapter ends as Luffy find that the tunnel is a dead end and Doflamingo has appeared in the entrance.

Toriko 282

Branch laughs at Zebra, who was given the dessert in his Full Course in exchange for spying on some female Daruma’s conversation. Zebra wonders why anyone with the Hermit title seems to be a pervert.

The two arrive at Stardust Hill, where Meteor Rain of various sizes constantly falls.

Melk explains in a flashback that they need to take 4 different routes, aiming for the Slow Rain Hills. The reason is because when the Gourmet World enters Night, the weather becomes especially dangerous. They have to get to the center of Area 8 and they’ll each have a team with one Heavenly King in it to spread out the power accordingly.

To help them, they have the three present Gourmet World Beast Warriors: the blue oni, Dinner, a saiseiya, Nosh, a kappa bishokuya, and Branch, a tengu chef. Mappy will also help, since he was previously a Gourmet World Beast Warrior.

The Daruma Hermit, as per his nature, easily changes his level of enthusiasm, from high to virtually nothing, encouraging them strongly one moment and then saying they might have a chance.

Sani’s teamed up with Nosh, the two of them faced with Laser Rain. Coco is with Dinner, the pair talking about how the other civilizations in Gourmet World failed, the Hex Food world surviving by their enthusiasm. The Poison Cloud rain is the challenge for these two.

Mappy, Toriko and Komatsu discuss the process for acquiring Acacia’s Full Course: you have to get it in a specific order or the other parts of Gourmet World won’t be open.

Toriko reacts with extreme fear, Mappy revealing that they’re at the nest of Horse King Heracles. In order for these civilizations in Gourmet World to prosper, they had to offer a sacrifice in order to maintain the protection of the King of each continent. The chapter ends as Mappy says he’ll be offering himself as a sacrifice so they can hopefully proceed to capture AIR.

Bleach 586

  

Bazz B and Renji’s groups square off, Bazz B realizing there’s not even enough for 1 on 1. He asks if any of them are Special War Powers and when it’s revealed there are none in this group, he moves to get past them, but Ikkaku and Rukia send the point home that they have to go through them to get to Ichigo.

Liltotto says they should go Vollstandig in order to catch up to Ichigo, everyone agreeing as the two groups move to fight.

Ichigo, meanwhile, is rushing towards Juhabach, who motions for Jugram to attack. But Uryuu intervenes, attacking Ichigo instead. The Soul Reaper/Quincy hybrid is shocked at his old friend attacking him, Uryuu telling him to leave, that he cannot defeat Juhabach.

But Ichigo insists that he needs to know why Uryuu is with Vandenreich, Uryuu responding by unleashing a rain of arrows. Orihime and Chad appear, Orihime having blocked the attack from hitting Ichigo.

Juhabach tells Uryuu to come with him, asking if he’s truly bid goodbye to his friends, since he’ll never see them again once they go to the Soul Palace. Uryuu says he has and the chapter ends as the three fly into the air, Ichigo yelling at Uryuu.

Fairy Tail 390

 

 The chapter begins with a flashback to Gray’s past, when his family was killed by Deliora, including his father.

We return to the present where Silver insists he is Gray’s father, Gray attacking him, but Silver knocking the attack aside. Gray keeps attacking, but each strike is blocked and he’s thrown back. Silver says that he is indeed Gray’s father, but things are more complicated than before, Silver now part of what he calls a greater existence, destined to fight.

Natsu, Gajeel and Juvia are all fighting their opponents as well: Natsu and Gajeel try to throw Torafusa and Tempesta into each other, but they break the tag team apart and throw them into the wall, Juvia slashed by Keith. Lucy wants to help, but Natsu says they can take them on without her, that she should rest.

Gajeel and Natsu observe that they’ve smelled Rogue and Sting for a while as the scene shifts to them. As Sting and Rogue attack Marde, he begins to understand why Kyouka wanted to fight with them, since they were so unaware, in his view, of how weak they were compared to demons, fighting with pure willpower. He things it’s pathetic, seemingly preparing to unleash his full power, since he wasn’t being serious up until now.

Erza, Minerva, Frosch (I called him Fro last chapter, I forgot) and Lector meet with Happy and Pantherlily, Minerva recognizes the mushroom and who it is, ripping it, with some pain from Happy, off his head. She thinks Franmalth will know where the control room is.

Back at Gray and Silver’s fight, Silver explains that his body is just a vessel, meaning Gray’s father is actually dead and the demon is just using Silver’s body, since he happened to see it. Silver is, in fact, Deliora, the demon that caused Gray’s teacher, Ur, to sacrifice herself. Deliora was revived as Silver in Hell’s Core back at Tartaros.

The chapter ends on this revelation and Gray’s determination to end this once and for all, Keith saying that the son may meet the same fate as his father.
