Didn’t quite pay attention: apparently World Trigger is also off this week, along with One Piece, but we should be back to normal next week.

Seven Deadly Sins 94

Gilthunder is approached by some Holy Knights who are still dumbfounded at the revelation of Hendricksen’s evil plan and Dreyfus’ betrayal of the Sins. Gilthunder says that they should trust him and he will aid them.

Gilthunder ask about Hauser’s whereabouts, the other knights saying they saw him with Dreyfus and think he’s okay, not knowing he’s still reeling from a severe injury, seemingly related to Hendricksen, if I had to guess (I couldn’t really tell, since he got separated during the chaos of the demon blood awakening).

Hendricksen appears, along with the Seven Deadly Sins, who move to protect Elizabeth, Hendricksen’s target. Meliodas is knocked away and Gowther has his head chopped off (though I doubt that will kill him, considering what other injuries he’s taken).

Holy Knights move to attack Hendricksen, but he summons a multitude of black dots, which he unleashes as a sort of Black Snow. If one is touched by it, you’re instantly dead, turned to black ash.  Some other knights, managing to dodge it, are decapitated by Hendricksen.

Slader suddenly appears to fight, unveiling his power, which we’ve seen once before, Overpower, which manages to stop Hendricksen for a time. The Dawn Roar knight then prepares to finish Hendricksen off, initiating a tag team attack from various Holy Knights, including Gilthunder and Guila, ending in a massive explosion. 

But Hendricksen isn’t even fazed, hardly scratched by all those attacks, Gilthunder saying they have to keep fighting.

Elizabeth tells Margaret and Vivian to get away from her, that she doesn’t want anyone else to die.

The chapter ends on a shocking reveal: that Veronica is alive somehow.

Next time we’ll get two chapters and more info on the anime coming in about 2 weeks, October 5th

Magi 240

Alibaba is confused, since Judar’s atmosphere seems different than when he saw them back at Balbadd a year or so ago. Aladdin’s confused at how he appeared without disrupting the Rukh, while Titus and Koumei note something about the technique Judar used, possibly related to Magnostadt and Al Thamen.

The two Magi compliment each other, Judar even challenging Yunan to a fight, which he refuses. Sinbad tries to chastise Judar, but the Magi ignores him, which shocks his Household.

Judar says that their talk of a ceasefire was what motivated him to show up. He tells Kouen that his suspicions about Gyokuen were right and that he should target her as a Magi of Alma Torran. The revelation that she’s Hakuryuu’s mother shocks Alibaba further, since she’s also the leader of Al Thamen.

The guards from outside appear, saying something terrible has happened. They’re told that Gyokuen has been murdered by Hakuryuu, and that they’ve confirmed this with multiple sources. The army is in shambles back at Kou and they beg Kouen to take over.

Kouen says it should be impossible for Hakuryuu to kill Gyokuen, thinking it’s Judar’s doing.

Judar says he helped Hakuryuu, unleashing his power, a black third eye appearing on his forehead. He says that the true way to solve this is through an all out war across the earth. He then sends a massive volley of lightning around the entire island, the chapter ending as he teleports away with time/space magic, like Koumei’s Dantalion, leaving everyone in shock.

Naruto 693

Naruto pleads with Sasuke to free the Bijuu, but Sasuke qualifies that he intends to take out Naruto to eliminate every last bit of the Bijuu’s chakra. Since all he needs is the chakra from the original Bijuu, he intends to kill Naruto and then the Bijuu after he’s used them to dispel the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Naruto says he’ll stop Sasuke, Sasuke responding that they have to finish this, but they have to change setting.

Kakashi moves to stop him, but collapses from using the Sharingan. Sakura, frustrated at her powerlessness, begs Sasuke to reconsider. She voices her love for him and says that she thinks Sasuke has some kinship with her and Naruto deep inside. Sasuke puts her under a genjutsu, imagining she was stabbed by Sasuke through the chest.

Kakashi says Sakura truly wanted to save him, but Sasuke says he was never worth loving and he never loved Sakura. Kakashi insists Sakura loved Sasuke from the bottom of her heart and just wanted to be his support. Sasuke thinks she’s only pitying him, since he lost his family.

Naruto says he’ll fulfill his promise to Sakura and bring Sasuke back, the two moving to a new spot

Hagoromo muses on love and how his actions turned the love and respect his sons had for him into hate and resentment from Indra. He then tried to improve things with Madara and Hashirama, but failed. With Sasuke and Naruto, he hopes to learn from his mistakes even more. He trusts Naruto to turn hate into love, since he thinks Sasuke knew love before and just needs it brought out.

Naruto and Sasuke arrive at the Valley of the End, where they fought before the first timeskip ended, Naruto saying that he will defeat Sasuke and he won’t hand over the title of Hokage, because Sasuke doesn’t know what it truly means. Sasuke responds as the chapter ends by saying that their beliefs about what it means to be Hokage are fundamentally different, starting to say what he thinks Hokage means.

Toriko 294 

Shigematsu is feeling the full power of Toriko’s Infinite Nail Punch. It’s so powerful, it rockets him through a beast that tries to eat him.

We see a flashback with Mansam where Toriko is asking how to bring the Neo members manipulated by Joa’s technique back to normal. Mansam explains that Joa has made a wound on their Gourmet Cells that can manipulate their “taste” and subsequently their thoughts. The only way to reverse the damage to the Gourmet Cells, which is essentially irreparable, is to do even more damage and hope they don’t die from it. Toriko thinks it’s worth the gamble.

As Shigematsu continues to be struck by Toriko’s attack, he finally regrets what he did, hoping that being nutrients for Gourmet World monsters can absolve him of even some of his sins. The other two Neo members are absorbed into the AIR tree’s roots.

 

Toriko attacks Teppei with even more force than before, using Jet Fork. Teppei manages to dodge and bind Toriko’s arm with the spiked vines, but Toriko flexes his muscles, releasing the force of a jet engine from it as his Gourmet Cell Demon breathes in and out, breaking free.

Toriko starts to use Jet Kugi Punch, clashing with a similarly sized fist Teppei makes, the force between them amazing. Toriko manages to get the advantage, punching Teppei’s wooden arm to pieces, Teppei moving to retreat and report to Joa. Zebra and the others say they won’t let him, but Teppei seems to disappear into thin air, shocking Coco, since it seems like he just vanished entirely, leaving no trace. Toriko notes there is a scent, but he can’t trace it.

Daruma Hermit is impressed, referencing something he calls the Back Channel, which Teppei can travel through. But more importantly, Komatsu’s life is in danger, Atashino and Dinner confused at the state of things. It’s not that they cannot revive his heart, but it’s as if his heart disappeared.

Daruma Hermit says the only thing that can save Komatsu is in Area 7, PAIR, the ingredient said to be Two Drops of the Same Coin as the chapter ends. My guess is that it has to do with the Back Channel, since Daruma Hermit says they need to get a new heart for Komatsu.

Bleach 598

We start with the launch not quite complete as Ganju stops them, Ichigo berating him for seemingly wasting his time. But Ganju reveals he has the map to the Royal Palace.

Ichigo reminds Ganju how dangerous this will be, but Ganju says that’s exactly why he’s coming.

The pillar launches, Orihime saying it reminds her of when they went to save Rukia back in the Soul Society arc. She wonders about Uryuu, Ichigo saying they’ll beat him up after they beat Juhabach and drag him back as a friend.

Nianzol further explains his Schrift, saying it bends, twists and otherwise turns attacks away. Shutara says that’s what will seal his fate. She says that he qualified it applies only to enemies he’s seen, so she tries to use some hidden soldiers. But Nianzol further states it applies to anyone he can sense, cutting down his attackers.

But Shutara says that she wasn’t referring to them. In the moment that he was fighting them, she switched his clothes to her own special fabrics. Nianzol can’t take it off, the chapter ending as Shutara says he won’t take it off until he dies, blades piercing through him from the robes.

Fairy Tail 401

We resume on Igneel and Acnologia’s fight. The Dragonslayers have recovered from their odd reaction to Acnologia’s appearance, Marde Guile having escaped from fighting Rogue and Sting.

Everyone’s confused that another dragon has appeared, Erza thinking it might be Igneel.

Marde Guile appears near the fight, saying he’ll stop them from interfering with his plans. His focus is now on eliminating the dragons.

Natsu’s group is trying to make sense of things, Gajeel wondering what’s going on. But Natsu is just frustrated that his quest was in vain, leaping up to where Igneel is fighting. He grabs onto his foster father, demanding to know what happened the day all the dragons disappeared. Igneel tries to shut him up, barely managing to get away from Acnologia’s attack. The resulting explosion from the flames making contact with Acnologia is massive.

Natsu thinks it might’ve done something, but Igneel tells him it was nothing, Acnologia spreading its wings in defiance.

Igneel tells Natsu to leave, reminding him that he has his own work to do. He even uses Natsu being in a guild as a pretense, requesting for him to get Marde Guile’s Book of END. In exchange for not opening or destroying it, but simply acquiring it, Igneel promises to explain everything to Natsu.

Igneel throws Natsu towards Marde Guile, the chapter ending in Natsu’s imminent fight with the Demon King.
