Delayed release because of Obon happening recently, so there was a week without manga in official status. Some series have double releases even though others don’t because we already got them, I suppose. We should be back to normal next week.

Boku no Hero Academia 54-55

We flash back to Deku learning about Iida’s brother being Ingenium and how much Iida respects his brother as a Hero.

Iida thinks to himself how blind he’s been to what a true Hero is and how he’s insulted his brother’s name by using it like this.

The Engine Hero remembers how his brother told him that he became a Hero partly out of obligation, but also because he wanted to help people, respecting even those people who aren’t Heroes doing good things for those in need. He compliments Iida, saying he has great skills and his admiration for Ingenium makes his brother cool in spite of him being weaker by comparison, mostly because of how kind he is.

Iida thinks to himself he has to get better and even if he can’t compare to Deku or Todoroki, he needs to act now to save them.

Todoroki is stunned by Stain, who manages to avoid his attacks, saying the young Hero focuses too much on his Quirk.

Iida rushes in, saving Todoroki from the blade that Stain nearly hit him with, knocking him away with another kick after breaking the katana.

Stain says that he can’t fool him, that the young Hero hasn’t changed truly. But as Todoroki says that his thoughts are old fashioned, Iida notes that he has been selfish and needs to change, especially since giving up would be like killing his brother and shaming his name.

The Hero still stunned tells the others to run, but Todoroki observes that Stain has gotten more aggressive. Deku also points out that, reduced to his Quirk, Stain is actually rather limited in terms of combat, but he’s strong enough that he enhances that with general physical prowess, though he’s weaker against multiple opponents on his level, so he’s gotten serious now to eliminate what he sees as small fry.

Iida asks Todoroki if he can control his temperature, requesting him to chill his radiator so he can use his Quirk again, trying not to clog it like he did a while back.

Todoroki tries, while Deku is also moving to attack Stain after recovering from Blood Clot.

Iida pushes forward, the chapter ending as he and Deku simultaneously land a solid blow on Stain, resolved to fight with all their strength.

The next chapter begins a few minutes earlier where Endeavor and Gran Torino are fighting one of the Noumu. It releases the energy it absorbed from the flame attack, but Torino observes it seems to have multiple Quirks.

The Noumu rushes at Endeavor and Gran Torino takes it out with a successive blast of his Quirk, Jet. He releases air from his boots, but he has a limit based on his own breath capacity.

Shouto leaves Endeavor, giving him the address where Deku and the others are at. Endeavor tells Gran Torino to follow Shouto, while he provides assistance here with the other Noumu attacks.

Back with Shouto, Deku and Iida’s fight against Stain, Deku freezes as his power output went a bit overboard. Iida follows up his attack with another kick to the side, Stain feeling the pain from that one.

Shouto eases Deku and Iida’s fall with a wall of ice. They’re worried Stain might still get up, but it seems he was knocked out with that last attack by Iida.

The group ties him up, the pro Hero thinking he was useless. But the others say they managed to win by some luck and Stain’s lack of focus with Deku as a threat with his newly concentrated Quirk.

They meet up with various Heroes that Endeavor called to their location, the pros impressed that Stain was captured by them.

Iida apologizes for getting Shouto and Deku hurt, but they say he needs to pull himself together, since he’s the class president.

Suddenly, one of the Noumu flies over and grabs Deku, taking him away.

But the chapter ends as we see Stain had a hidden knife, freeing himself and stabbing the Noumu in the head, commenting on how his targets are both Villains who thoughtlessly throw around their power and Heroes who are fakes

Seven Deadly Sins 136

Galan demands that Merascylla, the Ten Commandment who apparently has the best ability to sense magic power, find Meliodas, but the others say he’ll just lose again.

Zeldris says their priority is destroying Britannia, ordering everyone to fan out and recover their power as best they can. Fraudrin wanrs them of the Seven Deadly Sins, which the others don’t seem to know about, Galan saying that he could’ve beaten Meliodas.

But before he finishes, another Commandment tells him that if he’s lying that he’ll have his power reflected back on him. 

The group splits off, only Zeldris and Estarossa left behind. Zeldris says he has something to deal with nearby, Estarossa wanting to enjoy the fresh air after three millennia.

A bird lands on his arm, twisted by his dark power and then killed because it annoyed the demon.

The scene shifts to another town, everyone eating and making merry, Monspiet and Derriere (yes, that's her name, it would seem) arriving. 

And at Byzel’s ruins, where Taizoo, one of the fighters in the preliminaries, is trying to set up a new fighting arena, two more of the Commandments arrive.

As Meliodas returns, everyone’s frustrated at him provoking the demonic generals, saying that he just make things worse.

The Sin of Wrath responds that with this state of things, the Ten Commandments are split up and the group can better fight them in teams, rather than all at once.

Most everyone is done with their training: Hawk has gotten dragon armor of some sort after training with Oslo; Arthur and Gowther come out, the king having a weird creature on top of his head, Slader and Griamore appearing, Dreyfus’ son apparently reduced to a younger state, the others confused.

Elizabeth appears, having completed her training as well, Zaneli giving her a new set of clothes that makes it easier to move around in, Howzer ogling Elizabeth. But Meliodas won’t have that, poking the Holy Knight in the eyes.

Hawk still wants attention, irritated that everyone is ignoring him to focus on others.

But the chapter ends as Elizabeth reveals she actually failed her training, to everyone’s shock.

World Trigger 112

Osamu is managing to shield off Inukai’s attacks as a Gunner, Shiori telling Yuma to get to where his leader is to protect him.

Tsuji attacks Yuma, but leaves him, saying that his opponent will be Kageura, since he and Inukai are supposed to double team Osamu.

The commentators note how dangerous it is in the beginning for everyone, Tamakoma 2 now in fights separately, since they couldn’t meet up.

Osamu thinks to himself about how he can fight a Gunner as a Shooter. Arashiyama told him that the major difference is control of the bullets, but the Gunner has more range to control the fight.

Since Osamu can’t maintain a prolonged fight in the snow, where his mobility is limited, he has to get out of it, so he breaks into a building with some shots, the weather not carrying into the structures.

Inukai moves in as well, Osamu trying to counterattack. But he shields the blow, everyone thinking that Osamu has lost the battle. It turns out, however, that Osamu had some shots waiting in Inukai’s blind spot.

The Gunner managesd to shield against it, complimenting Osamu on his improvements. But he keeps pressing him, Raygust about to break from the assault.

Suddenly, Azuma squad’s attackers burst in, taking out Inukai’s arm with a combined attack. He counterattacks and everyone’s shocked as Tsuji bursts in, taking out Koarai’s legs with a slash.

The situation has radically changed with 4 people targeting Osamu, but 2 of the pairs going against each other as well, Azuma’s threat of sniping keeping Tsuji and Inukai on their toes.

Azuma squad has the advantage according to Kako, since Inukai can’t support Tsuji in a narrow space without risking friendly fire. Tsuji concludes that Azuma did this on purpose to draw them into an indoor fight to begin with.

Koarai and Okudera’s teamwork as Attackers makes them excel against even higher level opponents according to Kazama.

Osamu thinks that since they aren’t targeting him, he should take the moment to attack, but Azuma uses the opening to take out Tamakoma 2’s leader.

Everyone notes that Azuma squad’s leader was the first Sniper, former member of the top A Rank squad, meaning they have a huge advantage in terms of experience.

Osamu Bails Out as the chapter concludes with Azuma squad getting the first point.

World Trigger is off next week.

Magi 276

Judar is still amazed that they’ve been within the world we’ve seen for most of the series, asking the Mother Dragon if they can get to where Hakuryuu and the others are. She says it would take 40 years by foot, since it’s such a massive continent.

We’re reminded by Alibaba that this is essentially the world of the Origin Dragon and the Red Lions, since they couldn’t be incorporated into the new world. Ugo had to drag it from space and connect it to the new planet through the power of the Sacred Palace.

The Origin Dragon explains that this is a world where the concept of a Magi chosen by Solomon doesn’t exist, since it’s disconnected from that world, which is why Judar could only use his own inner Rukh and not the Rukh around him. But he’s also physically weaker, so his magic wasn’t as powerful as it could be with proper training.

Mother Dragon says that she could see everything, including Il Illah. Judar wonders if they have to open up a hole again, but it turns out the world is already connected to Il Ilah.

But it seems that this god’s personality has changed from its original more benign regard towards the world, serving as a ground of being. Now, David, Solomon’s father, has apparently managed to overtake Il Illah and is now the dominant force.

Instead of just drawing out the white Rukh and rendering everything lifeless, David wants to control everything down to the last detail. Mother Dragon thinks it’s somewhat petty, but Alibaba says he cares about his friends and wants to help them live their lives as free as they can.

The Origin Dragon remembers her own family, inspired by Alibaba and replying that she will take them to Aladdin and the others.

As they’re flying towards their destination, Judar asks why this abnormality with Il Illah happened if Gyokuen is dead. Alibaba responds that it wasn’t Gyokuen who was connected to David, but someone else. It was a recent development, but it seems that Sinbad is the one connected to David’s rukh, the chapter concluding as he arrives at Balbadd.

One Piece 797

Luffy’s group heads off, while their captain goes to deal with his issue. There are Marines in the central area looking for the Straw Hats. They attempt to contact the eastern group, but they’ve apparently already been overwhelmed by the gladiators in order to cover the Straw Hats’ retreat.

We see the other gladiators and criminals standing to hold off the Marines as Zoro and Bartolomeo’s group is getting closer to the eastern port.

Luffy is at the palace, Marines reporting this as he calls for Rebecca. She sees him, calling the pirate over to the window where she’s looking out.

Riku tells Captain Tank to get Viola and Rebecca so they can announce the royal family’s return to power.

Rebecca is being shielded by soldiers as Luffy leaps at the window, asking her if she’s okay with them spreading the rumor about her father, since she might never see him again.

The gladiator princess says that she got the letter from Kyros, wondering if he’s doing this because she’s a burden to him or such. Luffy says she has to decide that, Rebecca saying she hates how this has turned out. The two leave to go to where Kyros is, the Marines in hot pursuit.

Riku is told by Tank that Rebecca’s been kidnapped, this sentiment the general interpretation of what happened by everyone besides Luffy, Viola and Rebecca. He leaves her at the hill while he distracts everyone else, so she can meet up with Kyros.

Kyros is leaving, but Rebecca manages to get to his house. She says he shouldn’t try to cover up his identity as her father. Kyros reminds her that he’s killed many people and was generally a hardened criminal, but Rebecca says that doesn’t matter. She still recognizes him as her father, even at the points where she didn’t realize who he was as a toy. Kyros wonders if she really wants him as her father, Rebecca saying that she does and they should stay together.

Viola reveals to Riku that Rebecca asked her to be princess instead, noting that Scarlet did the same thing in the past, suggesting she really took after her mother in that respect, leaving royalty behind.

The chapter ends as Bartolomeo’s group sees that Fujitora is coming, Luffy now the last person that needs to get to the eastern port for them to leave.

Bleach 639

Mayuri comments on how long it’s been since he performed a one armed operation, his work a bit shoddy compared to before.

Pernidas takes this to mean Mayuri’s less confident, but Mayuri says that may not be the case.

The Compulsory’s severed finger regenerates into a separate hand and attacks Mayuri, but he throws acid at it, stopping the assault. He’s impressed at this new trait, noting that severing it into tiny pieces won’t work

But it seems that Pernidas still has some tricks up its sleeve, noting that it’s gotten blood in its eye after willfully tearing off one of its fingers. Mayuri remembers something he read in a book about how the Soul King’s right hand is stillness, while the left hand is progress.

We see that Pernidas has now made 2 copies of himself with his regenerative powers, Mayuri ready to finish this fight by unleashing his Bankai.

Yumichika thinks it’ll be dangerous, since it releases poison, but Mayuri shows that it’s taken on a new form. He’s reconfigured it so that it changes form based on information he sends it through a battle, its appearance much more corpulent.

The new form rips out of the cocoon like form, screaming out in pain. Mayuri says that its nerves are all spread out on the surface, meaning it will suffer immensely with any contact with even the air, let alone the ground.

But as Pernidas tries to take it over, Mayuri reveals that there are 70,000 layers, so it’ll be near impossible for him to control the Bankai.

The new Ashisogi Jizou eats Pernidas, the chapter ending as Mayuri says he can try to fight it, but he’ll have to go through all those layers to have any chance.

Toriko 335

The chapter begins as we’re told about how interrelated all the events have been, from the newborn Herac Horse’s cry, the dance of the Monkey King or even Toriko awakening his Gourmet Cells 2 years ago. All of these events are suggested to be a potential impetus for the Whale King Moon awakening.

The first place where this was felt was Area 5, where Zebra and Brunch are. The forest seems to shake, but Zebra discovers with Echolocation that it’s not a forest at all, but the head of the Deer King, Sky Deer.

Sani and Livebearer see the Mother Snake, looking like a giant wall of scales in their way, while Coco and Tairan are almost hit by one of the Emperor Crow’s feathers as it flies overhead.

Toriko and Starjun encounter a King Land Shark, not quite on the Eight King’s level, but still very dangerous. Toriko’s interested in it because it’s in Jirou’s Full Course, but Starjun says he’s concerned about the Battle Wolf behind it, reminding him of Terry, which he saw in the 1st Biotope back when they were pursuing the Regal Mammoth.

Meanwhile, we find that Terry, Kiss and Quinn are all training with Bambina to get stronger, hiding away in a space that has a tiny hole noticed by Zonge and his group.

We shift to NEO’s hideout, where Nakaume is approached by Teppei, who says he’s not under Joa’s control, noting about the bacteria not affecting the chef. Before they plan their escape, Teppei wants to know what Nakaume saw in Area 1.

The chapter concludes as we see some monstrous aberration in Area 1, possibly related in some way to Acacia.

Fairy Tail 448

The guild is celebrating Makarov’s return, Erza stepping down as master, meaning Makarov is now the 8th master, having gone through this process once already with Gildartz, who left the guild in his hands.

Everyone’s catching up, people especially shocked at Laxus and the Thunder God Trio having joined Blue Pegasus, not matching what people see them as for the most part.

Mest had to calm down Sorano, since they left her behind by taking the ship that Laxus brought, Pantherlily amazed at the idea of the ship that can go underwater. Natsu and Gajeel start to bicker after it’s observed that even Wendy has started to acquire the traits other Dragonslayers have already shown, like motion sickness in vehicles.

Erza is shocked to discover Star Mangoes don’t exist in Ishgar, and Juvia apparently thinks Gray might be joining Blue Pegasus or some other misunderstanding.

Lucy thinks that things have finally gotten back to some normalcy, but remembers about the threat that lies in Alvareth, as well as Zeref’s plan to acquire Lumen Histoire.

Makarov interrupts the festivities, apologizing for breaking up Fairy Tail. The guild forgives him, thinking that he did what he thought was best and they’re all together now. But the guildmaster says that Alvareth is now motivated to attack Ishgar in full force.

Natsu says that doesn’t faze them. They’re going to fight for the sake of maintaining this happiness of everyone spending time together and that’s what will give them strength in this upcoming fight.

Makarov is happy that they’ve resolved to push forward, saying that he’ll support them as his children. Everyone’s thinking about the upcoming battle, Gray thinking about END and Mira and Lisanna saying they’ve been training as well, likely the same for the others we haven’t seen fight yet

Suddenly, Mavis appears, saying that she is here to reveal the secret behind Fairy Heart, the true name of Lumen Histoire. 

The chapter ends as she says that this all connects back to her past with Zeref and something that happened back then.
