This isn’t technically the year anniversary (that was last week, roughly), but this marks 52 posts and that makes it my year anniversary in itself anyway. Here’s to another year!



Seven Deadly Sins 84

Everyone’s shocked at Merlin’s appearance, the Sins asking where she was, but Meliodas focusing on requesting her help, which she provides by teleporting them directly outside the king’s chambers. She had intended them to be inside, but the Perfect Cube refuses anyone but the original caster, which in this case is Vivian. The others are either confused that the Sins are there, like Dawn Roar, or happy, like Elizabeth.

Meliodas moves to attack the cube, but Merlin stops him, saying that the spell is from the Demon World and rejects all attacks, strong or weak, Vivian laughing at them from afar. But Merlin just grabs the door handles and opens it, revealing that her ability is Absolute Cancel, negating any spell apparently.

Meliodas and Elizabeth embrace, Meliodas relapsing to his perverted ways for a bit. Meliodas comments that the king is much older than before, but the king says Meliodas is oddly the same. The king orders Threader to be healed and notices Arthur.

Meliodas concludes that all that’s left to do is to free the kingdom, everyone looking to Dreyfus, seemingly the only threat left.

The group asks why he framed them, Dreyfus saying they were the ones who killed Zaratras, his brother. But Margaret retorts that she saw them kill Zaratras and Vivian captured her and Gil as hostages ten years ago as she was telling him.

Merlin thinks it makes sense, since Vivian was obsessed with Gilthunder, using Margaret to manipulate him and vice versa.

Gowther finishes things by noting that the plan was based on Dreyfus’ jealousy of his brother, Hendricksen poisoning Zaratras, the two killing him and framing the Seven Deadly Sins so they could take over the kingdom.



Hauser can’t believe this, Dreyfus admitting his defeat and dropping his sword.  Dreyfus notes that he didn’t think Hendricksen had the plans he did, the gap growing so much and Griamor killed by his old friend. Meliodas reveals, however, that Griamor is still alive, which makes Dreyfus shed tears of happiness.

Vivian weeps at Gil leaving her again, but Hendricksen reattaches his arm, the chapter ending on his somewhat new appearance, particularly a mark growing over his eye that’s similar to Meliodas’ demon power.








Magi 231

Solomon wakes up, having slept for 2 days, the others barely able to put his body back together. David and the others are dead, but the surviving magicians seem to be developing resentment towards the other species, since they are free, while their families are devastated because of their ambition to protect the other species. Ugo has locked himself in his room, saying he cannot atone for failing everyone and causing the deaths of so many.

But Solomon appears before his citizens, apologizing. Ithnan grabs Solomon, fuming, but calms his rage. He says that they don’t regret stopping the Orthodox, but the deaths of all these people seem so pointless, since the base wasn’t valuable for strategy and David was insane with power and was purposeless in his seeking of magoi. Solomon responds that this was fate and he will figure things out from what David told him. He thinks there must be a great amount of magoi somewhere, which he intends to use to create the peaceful world they sought. But the others say they couldn’t find it even after searching the whole base.



They return to the sanctuary, Solomon noting there’s something here the others cannot see. He explains that it’s hidden in a different dimension so that only the one holding the staff can perceive it. He opens it up, Sheba, Arba, Ugo and Solomon sucked into a dimensional warp. Arba weeps at seeing that they’re in the presence of Ill Ilah, calling it “Father” (which makes me strongly think that she’s Gyokuen in Alma Toran’s universe). Solomon figures it out: David had created a hole that connected him to Ill Ilah and he was constantly draining God’s magoi.



The chaper ends as Ugo concludes that the black things swirling about are Rukh (meaning things have gotten horribly corrupt, leading to the Black Spot incident in this world) and Solomon not understanding what David wants him to do.







World Trigger 66

Enedora attacks Suwa, slicing him apart slightly, but his body recovers since the room they’re in is in simulation mode. The Neighbor is confused, attacking the walls, but it’s ineffective.

The others outside the room are hoping Suwa can keep Enedora occupied long enough for them to fully analyze his Black Trigger, since if he notices the door out of the room, he can easily escape.

Shinoda leaves things in Kido’s hands, departing to fight, most likely.

Meanwhile, the other Neighbors note that Hyuse has marked the position of Chika, so the sole female Neighbor can use her Trigger to send the Rabits to their position. They also observe that Hyuse’s opponent has a normal Trigger, Viza’s a Black Trigger, which intrigues some of the Neighbors.  The Neighbor leader says they’ll wait until Osamu and Chika are far enough away from Hyuse and Viza to send out the remaining Rabits and conclude this operation.

Meanwhile, Yuma’s fight with Viza is getting tough, since Viza’s slicing away the Anchors. Yuma uses Bound to pull up a chunk of earth, Viza slicing it into pieces. Yuma then chains them together and then combines Bolt and Boost to attack. But before he can unleash it, Viza reveals the cane is a scabbard for the sword, slicing off Yuma’s left hand, which turns into Replica. Viza’s impressed at Yuma’s Trigger, Yuma figuring out that Viza is just there to delay him, telling Replica to protect Osamu and Chika.



Replica leaves Yuma, Viza wondering if Border’s group should split up, implying there’s some danger. The chapter ends as Yuma counters that Viza can’t lie very well and the Rabits are summoned at Chika and Osamu’s position, Osamu and Karasuma preparing to fight them.







Naruto 684

Sakura thinks to herself that Obito has consigned himself to death, since he thinks he’s beyond saving. Sakura and Naruto’s clone touch him, preparing to teleport. But Kaguya notices them, the group having to factor in that she has her attention focused on them.

Kaguya moves towards Naruto’s real body, apparently not caring about Obito’s group. Naruto thinks he has to use the strategy that worked before: a diversion and then taijutsu. He won’t use the sexy jutsu, but he has to corner her, so she’ll use her space time jutsu; then, he’ll follow her in and look for Sasuke.

He uses the chakra from the 5 tails to enhance his strength, breaking out of the ice and clashing with Kaguya directly. They split apart, Kurama refining Naruto’s chakra so he can summon even more Kage Bunshin, hundreds or more.



Naruto swarms Kaguya with the barrage of Shadow Clones, Kaguya moving into the other dimension with her space time jutsu. Naruto’s real body follows, the two appearing in what appears to be the desert dimension where Sasuke is.

Kaguya thinks to herself that Naruto can’t be here, since this is the core dimension, connecting to the other 5 and with the resonance of their powers of Yin and Yang, Naruto can find Sasuke.

Black Zetsu and Kaguya discuss whether to kill Naruto. Kaguya says they need his chakra, but Black Zetsu says they need to focus on finishing their plan with the chakra they have, since it takes so much to alter dimensions. Kaguya agrees, using what appears to be the Kaguya clan’s Kekkei Genkai to fire a bone spear at Naruto through a dimensional gap she makes. Naruto dodges, but another bone stabs him, seemingly burning a hole through his body and killing the shinobi.



Kaguya moves to the other dimension, thinking that she killed the original. Meanwhile, Obito and Sakura make it to the dimension where Sasuke presumably is, Naruto’s clone having disappeared at some point (possibly the one that Kaguya killed?)

The chapter ends as Kaguya returns to the ice dimension, seeing Naruto’s clones still there, meaning his original body is still somewhere.





Toriko 284

We return with Komatsu speaking about hearing the ingredient’s voice. Mappy thinks it’s the Air tree in front of them, but Komatsu says it’s further ahead, in the direction of the Slow Rain Hills. This means what he hears is AIR itself.

Horse King Heracles glares at them, the force of its power without even moving enough to send shockwaves through the air. Mappy says they have to give the sacrifice, since AIR is like the Horse King’s life.

Toriko says that he’ll hold off Heracles while Komatsu and Mappy go in Careru towards AIR so Komatsu can prepare it.  Careru grows more wheels and goes into Top Gear, narrowly avoiding a Daruma Horse’s attack, zipping away at blinding speed.

Meanwhile, Toriko unleashes a scattered burst of Nail Punches, reverberating through the ground and creating a chasm around himself, the Daruma Horse, the Janus Unicorn and the Horse King itself. The Bishokuya plans to make himself a sacrifice in Mappy’s place, if need be, his eyes gleaming with excitement. The chapter ends as Toriko stands off against the Horse King, seemingly taking on the form of his Appetite Devil.







Bleach 588

We start with Juhabach’s group crashing into the Soul Palace area, catching the attention of the Royal Guard. Haschwalth notices something, trying to console Juhabach (who he thinks should be sad about something). Juhabach replies that it’s pointless to mourn over an old gravestone, Haschwalth recanting. Juhabach then commands Jugram to start, Jugram summoning Soldat through the Schatten Bereich (Shadow Territory, roughly).

The Soldat are knocked away by Tenjirou, who says he’ll stop them, even though Juhabach thinks otherwise.  The Soldat are washed away by the hot springs Tenjirou is in charge of and then he unleashes his Zanpakutou, Kinpika.



Meanwhile, Ikkaku and Yumichika are fighting Giselle, who’s trying to act innocent again to draw them in to attack her, Yumichika catching on to her tactic. He even figures out she’s cross dressing, which infuriates her. The chapter ends as she summons the zombified Bambietta, confirming theories from months ago about her fate.







Fairy Tail 392

Wendy and Charle wonder what to do about the Faces. The Air Dragon Slayer asks Doranbolt how fast they can get to Magnolia, Doranbolt responding that, with some speed, they could get there in five minutes. Wendy plans to use Warren’s telepathy magic to contact all the guilds on the continent. With their combined power, she thinks they might be able to do something about the threat of Face.

Back at Juvia’s fight, she remembers Keith’s words, implying that Gray will follow in his teacher’s footsteps (not his father’s, which I said last week) and use Iced Shell to defeat Deliora.

Gray is getting pummeled mercilessly by Deliora, who says it was foolish to even stand against him.  He says humans can never hope to defeat demons, even with all their strength. But Gray stands up, bloodied and beaten, saying he must win.

Deliora reminds Gray that Ice Magic won’t affect him, even if he can’t absorb it, and he’s beaten Gray badly enough that physical attacks are pointless (and he can’t use the cannon tactic anymore). Gray then starts to use Iced Shell, Deliora saying that won’t work either, since he learned Ice Demon Slayer magic after Ur used Iced Shell on him years ago. But Gray still insists on using it, Deliora seemingly shaken and attacking Gray.

But he had an ice clone, appearing behind Deliora, unleashing the magic. It seems to be working, but Deliora reverses it on Gray.  But that was also a clone, Gray appearing in the place the previous clone was. He’s holding a steel ball that he got from the rubble, since he reversed Deliora’s magic that he had used to freeze the Sun Village before.

He makes a support with ice supporting the steel ball, the ice forming a vambrace gauntlet, throwing the steel ball through Deliora.



The demon is defeated, Gray speaking to it, saying he realized something, that Deliora may truly be his father instead of the demon revived.
