Boku no Hero Academia 56

Stain emphasizes how his purge targets both Villains who have no goals and Heroes with no sense of duty.

Shigaraki is irritated at this turn of events, wondering why Stain’s doing this and how the Noumu was killed so quickly.

The Heroes at the scene think Stain took Deku hostage as Endeavor appears, telling them to fight him.

But Gran Torino seems to recognize Stain’s true face as he rips off his torn mask, the Hero Killer now targeting Endeavor.

He says that he must kill the fakes, emitting such bloodlust that everyone is near paralyzed with fear. But he suddenly loses consciousness, one of his ribs perforating into his lung.

Deku, Todoroki and Iida are recovering a few days later, all thinking that Stain must’ve let them live, since he saw something in them that was worth protecting.

They’re greeted by Gran Torino and Chief Tsuragamae of the Hosu Police department.

He explains that the reason why Heroes are accepted today is because their predecessors followed rules strictly. Thus, it is incumbent on him to dole out a punishment for Deku, Iida, Todoroki, Manual Hero (the Hero who was with Iida initially), Endeavor and Gran Torino.

Todoroki says that’s absurd, since if Deku and Iida hadn’t violated the rules, people would’ve died. The chief of police admires that spirit, even if they are young.

Tsuragamae continues, saying that he would do that as a police officer, but that with the situation as it is, he’d rather keep this quiet, allow the public to think Endeavor beat Stain and preserve their reputations.

So things end with Deku, Iida and Todoroki remaining unknown as to their efforts and accomplishments against the Hero Killer, but they escape any official censure or punishment, thinking about their actions and trying to improve from their mistakes.

The chapter concludes as Deku thinks that there were still consequences to that day which no one could have seen coming.

Seven Deadly Sins 137 

The group leaves Jenna and Zaneli, Elizabeth still worried about her failure to get stronger. Meliodas encourages her, saying he failed lots of times to control his rage and she’s already shown she has a great power in her when she saved everyone at the battle at Liones.

We see that Zaneli has likely unrequited love for Meliodas, holding back as the group leaves.

King has a brief talk with Helbram in his helmet, what happened in the cave with Meliodas still bothering him.

After everyone departs, Jenna notes that Zaneli set up Elizabeth’s trial so she’d fail, Zaneli saying she wanted to keep Elizabeth away from Meliodas, so he might come back to her. But Jenna responds that the reason why Meliodas risks everything for Elizazbeth is because she’s Liz’s reincarnation.

The group is still impressed Meliodas fought one of the Ten Commandments, Meliodas saying that he thinks Gil and Howser look stronger. They don’t think they’ve gotten much stronger, but Hawk confirms they’ve increase about 400 from their initial levels.

Meliodas asks Hawk what happened for him to change his appearance so much, the Leftovers Captain saying that he was eaten by a Tyrant Dragon and ate his way out. Now he can shoot fire from his nose and sort of fly with his ear wings.

Gowther and Arthur are still trying to get the weird thing off the king’s head and Griamore is still a child, Slader comforting him like a parent.

Gilthunder asks Hawk about Meliodas’ power level, Hawk seeing it as 3250, which is odd. Merlin corrects him, the actual number 32500. 

But as the group leaves to find Escanor, Melidoas says the Sin of Pride is stronger than he is, though his own power is still a bit unstable.

Elsewhere, we see Fraudrin entering a town, some people observing that he’s changed from Dreyfus’ power quality. The two people in question are other members of the Six Stars of the Azure Sky from before, which included Dogget, Deathpiece and Wayeo, all of which were seen as moderately powerful, though only in the 1000s or so.

These two are much younger, Arden and Deldrey preparing to fight Fraudrin as the chapter ends.

Magi 277

Kouha discerns from the Seven Seas Alliance members from Sasan and Kina came here because Hakuryuu intentionally drew in Koumei’s side to fight them. This gave his allies the pretext to help him, since he was in what amounts to a civil war in a country they regard as rightfully his.

Takeruhiko says he doesn’t like how Hakuryuu’s been doing things, but he has no choice but to help his ally in a war. He unleashes his Djinn, Caim, throwing out a slash that misses Kouha, aiming for Koumei, who he strikes through the chest. 

Kouha thinks to himself that this fight seems to just be a distraction, Sinbad bringing even more Metal Vessel users to Balbadd, while this 3 vs. 3 match continues. He resolves to fight, not willing to let this end with everyone dying against Hakuryuu’s forces as traitors. 

The Leraje Djinn user tells Kougyoku that if they defeat Hakuryuu, the other 2 members of his alliance won’t have any need to be here. But she reacts as if she’s being controlled by Sinbad again, putting her blade to his neck. 

Sinbad reveals himself to Kouha as we shift to Balbadd. The head of the Seven Seas Alliance says he supports ending the conflict in Kou, seeing Hakuryuu as the legitimate successor, since Hakutoku was the original emperor.

Hakuryuu continues along this line, noting how Kouen allied himself with Al Thamen and betrayed the emperor’s trust. He tells the rebel army to lay down their weapons and surrender.

We flash back to Hakuryuu asking Sinbad about his goals, Sinbad saying that they share similar goals of not wanting meaningless wars to be continued by those in power. With Hakuryuu taking down Gyokuen, Sinbad had an opportunity to unify Kou under Hakuryuu’s power. He tells Hakuryuu that their goal should be to take down Kouen, since he’s the last remaining person who seeks those wars to conquer others.

Hakuryuu reiterates this point, shocking everyone with his efforts alongside the Seven Seas Alliance to take down Kouen, who he sees as a false emperor. 

The chapter ends as we’re left on the uncertainty of what Kouen will do against Sinbad and Hakuryuu’s combined assault

One Piece 798

 Bastille demands to know where the reinforcements are, one of the Marines saying that all the bullets and gunpowder, along with anything else that was a weapon in their possession, has been stolen, revealed to be by the Tontatta. Also, the ships have been sewn together by Leo’s Sew Sew fruit and the Marines paralyzed from before are still immobile.

Meanwhile, the Marines that could fight are being delayed by Mansherry, who asks for more Dandedonors to help the injured.

Luffy’s heading to the Eastern Port, while Bartolomeo’s group prepares to hold off Fujitora’s troops.

Sengoku, talking to Law, flashes back to talking with Rocinante about the boy having White Leading Poisoning and reminding him that his primary mission is to stop his brother, Doflamingo. 

He tells Law that he knew a Marine that was absolutely loyal, seeing him as his son. But one day he lied to him, dying in the process. He reveals that this incident was where Rocinante saved Law as well as the Op Op Fruit.

Law says that he wants to know why Rocinante died that day, seeing him as his savior in all ways after sacrificing himself to get the Op Op fruit to save his life. His greatest desire is to avenge Rocinante by killing Doflamingo, but Sengoku wonders if that’s what he’d want for the person he saved.

Law asks if Sengoku knows anything about the D initial, the Inspector General saying he doesn’t and Rocinante knew even less. Which means that he didn’t’ save Law because of his initial, but just because he cared for him as a person and was able to empathize with his situation of losing his family.

Sengoku leaves, saying he can’t do anything here, but that Law shouldn’t try to insist on revenge for Rocinante’s sake, but keep his memory alive. 

Back at the Eastern Port, Fujitora utilizes his Devil Fruit power to levitate the rubble above Bartolomeo’s group, Tsuru telling Bastille to send the order for retreat, since they don’t need help now.

Law arrives, Bartolomeo ordering everyone to head for the ship. Luffy’s in the distance, Bartolomeo telling him to avoid Fujitora and get to the port with everyone else.

But the chapter ends as Luffy punches Fujitora, saying that he’s not going to run away from a challenge like he did 2 years ago.

Bleach 640

 Nemu flashes back to when Mayuri first created her, thinking of the name he first gave her.

In the present, we see Mayuri laughing maniacally, inquiring as to whether Ashisogi Jizou’s digestion has been affected. Knowing that Pernidas regenerated allowed him to design the new form without teeth so that he wouldn’t break him up into multiple pieces.

But it seems that Pernidas still has tricks up his sleeve, exploding the inside of Ashisogi Jizou with his Quiny bow, virtually unharmed. He asks if Mayuri forgot that he’s a Quincy that uses a bow and arrow, the scientist saying that he didn’t forget, but that he’s surprised at the Soul King’s left arm referring to itself as a Quincy, somewhat shameless of him.

Pernidas retorts that there’s nothing to be ashamed of, his speech actually adjusting slightly as if he’s become slightly more intelligent for a brief moment. Mayuri wonders if he’s regaining his memories as the Soul King or if he’s evolving.

The Compulsory forms 5 bows, one on each finger, firing the bolts at him and attaching his nerves to allow for adjustment of the path as well as extend them out to Mayuri’s limbs.

Mayuri is forced to blow off one arm and a second arrow is redirected by nerves on the ground. Nemu grabs the arrow, slicing off her own arm, Mayuri having to pull her off the ground before the nerves scrambled her body.

He asks why she did that, since she’s not supposed to act in a way contrary to what he’s taught her.  Mayuri emphasizes, by referring to her as Sleeping Number 7, that he doesn’t want to have to go through this again and raise the next one in a slightly different way.

The chapter ends as he tells Nemu that she will only die when he says so, not sacrificing herself through her own will, and commanding her to get up, the Soul Reaper obeying.

Toriko 336

 Nakaume’s hair turns white at the thought of what he saw. Teppei notes that he’s heard the 8 Kings are all moving, including Dragon King Deros in Area 1. He speculates it might be due to the coming Gourmet Solar Eclipse or the cooking competition in Area 6.

The cooking is apparently similar to what’s been done by the Blue Nitro for centuries, but Nakaume was one of the few chefs that went to that area. Nakaume says that it doesn’t matter where they go, that this thing will eat everything on earth, seeing a larger form of the abomination as it continues to grow.

Joa is preparing some ingredient, preserving it in a petrie dish along with others like it, when she notices Teppei and Nakaume are sneaking around.

Teppei tells Nakaume that there are people that might be able to take out something of the intensity that he saw, including Jirou and Setsuno.

But they’re attacked by something, whoever’s controlling it even able to temporarily adjust time, catching Teppei in a sticky web.

It’s Mohyan Shaishai, one of the greatest Saiseiya in history. He’s taken on a spider form, saying that he’s merely helping Joa, who is the main attraction. As the two fire attacks, we see that Shaishai can apparently speed up or reverse the growth of ingredients, which explains some of what he was doing before.

Teppei manages to escape, but before he can make another move, Joejoe, Kousairou and Zaus appear, Joejoe’s tongue grabbing at Teppei’s leg.

Alfaro manages to sever Joejoe’s regenerating tongue with new Gold Plates, and Midora also appears, taking out the three enemies, the chapter ending as he appears, Zaus shocked by his presence.

Fairy Tail 449

Mavis explains how she met Zeref by chance, learned magic from him and saved Magnolia from a dark guild. After using an incomplete magic, she was unable to age further, but didn’t seem to care much.

Later, a war for trading rights began, mage guilds drawn into the conflict as mercenaries. We see how Mavis already showed her amazing tactical skills to armies. Yuri and the others are part of the squad that’s meant to face the opposition’s mages. The army, with Mavis’ aid, manages to defeat their opponents, in spite of being massively outnumbered. 

Afterwards, Mavis regrets the loss of life as everyone else makes merry. The Second Trade War ended with 10x the casualties of the first, mostly because of magic getting involved. The guilds unanimously decided that they should pass a treaty that forbade armed inter-guild conflict, creating a temporary peace.

Later, Mavis meets Zeref, thanking him for helping her. She is shocked to realize he’s Black Mage Zeref, the immortal wizard not telling her his identity back then for that very reason. 

After she explains that her body doesn’t age because of using Law, Zeref thinks that she may have become just like him through a curse of Ancselam. He warns her that because of the recent war, she may start to value life more and the curse will affect those around her as well.

She runs away, thinking that it cannot be true as Zeref notes that this is how horrible he truly is.

The chapter ends as we see that Yuri is now a father, Makarov born as Mavis thinks she does appreciate life, but Zeref’s warning still lingering in her mind.
