Tokyo Ghoul Re seems to be delayed, so I'll cover it and next chapter next week (though I'll be at a con, so it might be delayed until Sunday or Monday if I'm especially busy.

 

Seven Deadly Sins 98 and 96.5

Chapter 96.5 is an omake chapter which has Elizabeth looking for ingredients. But she’s tricked by bandits, who plan to do bad things to her. But Hawk and the others come and save her, scaring away the bandits with their reputation as the Seven Deadly Sins.

Chapter 98 begins with Meliodas saying that they’ll take on Hendricksen. The demonic druid moves to attack Meliodas, but Ban dislocates his shoulder with his weapon, Meliodas knocking him into the air. Diane slams him into a cliff with Gideon and as Hendricksen tries to attack again, King stabs him into the ground with Chastiefol. But Hendricksen recovers relatively easily, even relocating his shoulder.

Meliodas asks Gowther to aid with the plan, King shocked to see that Gowther is casually carrying his severed head and reattaches it, seemingly unharmed. He transmits the plan with Broadcast to everyone, Meliodas starting the attack. 

Instead of readying Full counter, Meliodas quickly moves behind Hendricksen, managing to block the counterattack and throwing him off the spire of earth he’s standing on. He attacks him again, Gilthunder going through with his part and attacking them both with strongest Tempest power attack.

The Holy Knight with Gravity powers uses them, another Holy Knight following up with a mist that seeps into the skin, doing damage that way. Another knight prepares to attack and as Hendricksen tries to attack, Meliodas holds him, taking the attacks.

Hendricksen quickly perceives that this is the strategy, Meliodas the decoy to seal his movements so the attacks land and Meliodas depending on his toughness to survive.

But Hendricksen thinks that Meliodas could use Full Counter to dodge, so he deduces that Elizabeth only restored his physical vitality, not his magical stamina, so he can’t even use it anymore. 

Hendricksen attacks him with a giant black fireball, the chapter ending as Hendricksen thinks he has the advantage. But Meliodas still seems confident he will win.

World Trigger 78

Osamu picks up Replica’s body and moves to retreat, worried if he’ll be able to survive without his assistance. Hyrein crashes into a nearby building as Miwa continues to press him.

Hyrein sees Mira and she directs him to the Rabit, which he turns into Trion cubes with Alektor.

Replica reveals he’s still alive, removing Osamu’s tracking beacon in his arm. He’s on auxiliary systems now, only able to use basic functions. The Replica opening the door will take about 20 seconds and the original Replica has an idea of how to avoid attack until then.

Meanwhile, Yuma is at a distance from Viza, unable to get closer. He decides he has to take a gamble and move forward at the best moment. He makes his move, stopping just short of one of the blades with a Chain Trigger and using Bound to sacrifice his legs and take the attack in his blind spot that would’ve otherwise killed him.

But it looks like Viza manages to slice Yuma in half, saying his blades cannot be beaten with such a simple maneuver or brute force.

However, the Yuma he attacked was a decoy disguised as him, in reality a Weight Trigger. Yuma attacks from behind with Boost as the chapter ends on him with a significant victory, Viza heavily damaged.

Magi 243

We start with a flashback to Judar and Hakuryuu entering the 68th dungeon, Belial, where he acquired his second Metal Vessel. Judar explains that he acquired his new power of teleportation magic before they came here.

Hakuryuu asks why Judar is working with him, the Magi explaining they are alike in a way, Hakuryuu not liking that, but resigned to use Judar’s power for his own goals.

The two enter, each seeing different sights, as if under an illusion. Hakuryu consults with Judar, who says the rukh is similar ot Zagan’s, meaning the magic type is Life, so it’s affecting their physical sight.

Judar mysteriously disappears, Hakuryuu meeting an illusion of Hakuei. The two discuss Hakuei being apologetic about not helping Hakuryuu, Hakuei then asking Hakuryuu why he wants to kill his mother, saying he doesn’t have to anymore. Hakuryuu responds that it’s his brothers’ desire, but she says they wanted peace, Hakuryuu creating a civil war in the country.

Hakuryuu starts to think that he and his brother’s goals are the same, but he is wounded and sees a bizarre appearance, the vision of his sister warping. Belial speaks to him, saying that they won’t allow him to lie: any time he does, the conflict with his true beliefs will damage his body.

Meanwhile, Judar is with an illusion of Aladdin, who tells him that he doesn’t consider him wholly evil, since he was taken by Al Thamen when he was a baby. But Judar says he’s killed many people and caused such chaos with Sinbad and others. Aladdin says that doesn’t matter: Judar’s true desire, according to the Magi, is to create a good kingdom with a King Vessel at his side. Judar says he’s right, but still attacks Aladdin.

Hakuryuu is fighting with Belial, who says he judges the King Vessels by their integrity. Hakuryuu is now confronted by Morgiana, asking him to come back and fight alongside her, Hakuryuu responding that it’s too late.

Morgiana responds that they share a common enemy, so they aren’t at odds. Hakuryuu starts to think they’re right, even considering that he should ally with Alibaba. Belial thinks this might turn Hakuryuu to a White King Vessel. But Hakuryuu doesn’t take Alibaba’s hand.

Judar explains that there’s something inside them, presumably their Black Rukh, that is conflicting and won’t let them do what Belial wants as the chapter ends. I guess this will be part of how they acquire the Djinn’s power in the end.

Naruto 696

Naruto and Sasuke remember the saying that a single exchange of blows between two top class shinobi allows them to see what’s in each others’ hearts. Naruto asks if Sasuke still wants to kill him even knowing his heart, but Sasuke says that’s exactly why he must kill Naruto.

Naruto responds that even if he starts a new village, it could crumble in the future. Sasuke says he’ll watch over it. But Naruto then says that the villages are united now. Sasuke retorts that was only because they had a common enemy, but now that it’s defeated, they will separate again.

Naruto wonders what Sasuke will do when he dies, Sasuke thinking that with the Rinnegan and the reincarnation/transmigration of successors with Indra’s chakra, he’ll find a way. Naruto contemplates how pitiful it is for Sasuke to devote all eternity to taking on this hatred, but Sasuke responds that this is his Hokage ideal.

Sasuke and Naruto separate, Sasuke saying Naruto won’t kill him with attacks like that. But Naruto says he doesn’t want to kill Sasuke, the Uchiha utilizing the 9 beasts he sealed in earth and vowing that he will take his first step into shadow by absorbing all the Bijuu’s power into Susanoo.

Kurama notes that this kind of power will be like Hagoromo’s at his peak, so Naruto should be wary. Naruto summons Shadow Clones of his Kurama form, Sasuke saying that technique is only a reflection of his loneliness as a Jinchuuriki.

Sasuke’s Susanoo armor, now with a human appearance underneath, manages to fend off Naruto’s Kurama Shadow Clones. The two clash with attacks again, Sasuke concluding afterwards Naruto doesn’t have enough energy to use another Bijuudama. He readies an arrow to fire, Naruto gaining a huge amount of natural energy from Kurama’s meditation. He prepares two massive attacks, one a Rasenshuriken in appearance, the other a Bijuudama.

Naruto tells Sasuke they both have difficulties from their past, but he wants to properly defeat Sasuke this time.

The two fire off their attacks as the chapter ends on Naruto saying that Sasuke needs to return to how he was.

One Piece 764

Corazon explains to Law that he never told Law he couldn’t speak, Doflamingo just concluded that on his own. As Law continues to make a scene, Corazon uses his Nagi Nagi Fruit to create a soundproof wall. Law wonders if Corazon also was acting like a fool on purpose, though he apparently is also prone to accidents anyway.

Law asks why Corazon hid this from his friends, but Corazon replies that he never saw them as such: his only goal was to keep Doflamingo’s madness in check. He sees his brother as a monster, since even when they were being hurt by the people who wanted revenge, Doflamingo just redirected their hatred right back at them. He reveals that only the 4 in the inner circle know of Doflamingo’s true nature, and Vergo, the first Corazon.

Corazon tells Law that he must get away and not become like Doflamingo. But Law says he wants to become like him, he admires him.

Corazon then explains about the D family briefly: that  kids are told they will be eaten by D, that adults comment that people with the name of D will cause a great storm and that D in a certain land are called God’s Natural Enemy. He thinks the Tenryuubito might be God and that the D family’s goal is to destroy the World Government.

Law says he joined the family to kill those he sought revenge against. He also says didn’t become Corazon’s subordinate, but Doflamingo’s and that he’s going to reveal Corazon’s deception, not caring if he dies. Corazon attacks him, but Law knocks him into a dumpster and gets away.

Corazon and Law later meet as Doflamingo tells Corazon the Marines have found them. Law says that they’re even after Corazon didn’t rat him out 2 years ago, since Law decided not to do it either for Corazon’s secret.

Later, the group finds out Law and Corazon are missing, Corazon having kidnapped Law to try to cure his illness.

Corazon speaks to Sengoku, revealing he’s an agent of the Marines. Vergo then talks to Sengoku, requesting a transfer to G5.

Corazon qualifies he’s not a Marine, taking Law to a hospital, which treats Law with the same prejudice he’s been used to. This infuriates Corazon, taking him to many other places that all reject him and treat him as infected.

Corazon thinks to himself that this isn’t because Law’s in the D family, but because he feels sympathy for a child who already is consigned to death.

The chapter ends as Doflamingo calls on Corazon’s Den Den Mushi, looming with a possible threat.

Toriko 297

After Zebra’s reckless killing of a monkey that taunted him, the group is surrounded by Jarillas and multiple other monkeys before Denshark can get away.

 Zebra tries using Death Sound, but a monkey resists and Zebra rips its head off with his Gourmet Cell Demon arm. But the Jarilla regenerates its head and the group is forced into battle, Zebra blasting the monkeys away with Sound Bazooka. Toriko calls Terry, Kiss and Quinn to assist.

Toriko goes up against Crazy Salsa, which manages to redirect his Nail Punch.

Sani, Coco and Zebra all meet up with other bizarre Monkey beasts, like Iai Aye (technically lemur more than monkey), Medusaru and Kannon Gorilla.

We find out there’s a ranking system based in Enbu, a Monkey Martial Art, each ranking called a Monk Dance. 5 billion monkeys comprise all the members and there are only 4 Masters, the ones permitted to do as they please and Bambina is above even them.

All the challengers now are at the bottom rank and still have so much stamina. The group notices they can redirect the force out of their bodies, like the Four Beast could. Suddenly, the monkeys move to bow to a superior, the group thinking it might be Bambina herself.

But a little spiked plant hides back in the ground. The group falls into a pit made around Denshark and awakens to see ruins of a past civilization, the chapter ending as a Nitro appears to guide them.

Bleach 601

As Ouetsu threatens Juhabach’s elite squad, his sword trembles, Gerard thinking it might be because the sword has been unused for so long. He slashes, the attack dodged by Ouetsu and doing damage to Kirio’s tree.

Ouetsu counterattacks, taking Gerard down in one stroke and boasting of his great power after the fact, saying he defeats everything in one slash.

Lille, the X Axis, is skeptical, noting the liquid substance the sword was held in before Ouetsu drew it. He fires a shot, but it explodes harmlessly behind Ouetsu, who says with the stance he has, the bullet was cut in half by his sword. Lille fires more, Ouetsu slashing them all away and cutting off Lille’s arm, leaving him bleeding.

Ouetsu then sees Pernida, stabbing him with extreme speed as he throws the blade into his head and pulls it out in a quick motion.

He then moves to kill Askin, but he moves behind him, Ouetsu perceiving this and slashing him. With the second blow, he seemingly kills Askin, complimenting him on noting the slashing power of his sword, Sayabuse. The sword cut so cleanly, that he had to make a special sheath for it and keep it hidden, since it would be too perfect a blade for popular knowledge. He thanks Juhabach and his group for rushing into Soul Palace, so the sword could show its true power.

But Askin stands up, saying that such an attack won’t kill him. The chapter ends as he curses the nature of his power, his seeming inability to die making him a prime target for Juhabach’s elite forces.

Fairy Tail 404

Kyouka is still astounded Erza can stand with her senses blocked and her pain sensitivity at its maximum. Erza kicks Kyouka in spite of the pain it will cause herself, continuing to do this for a bit. The others are confused, thinking she might have unlocked a 6th sense or something, but Happy just thinks it’s because it’s Erza.

Kyouka continues to drain the timer down and slashes Erza, the combination of Erza’s pain reception at its highest and Kyouka’s enhanced power with her Curse ability making Erza feel like she’s being torn apart. But Erza keeps striking Kyouka, eventually slashing at her. But she falls, the finishing blow made by Minerva.

But Kyouka smiles, Franmalth watching on and ecstatic as Face turns on, magic threatening to disappear as the chapter ends.
