No One Piece this week

Boku no Hero Academia 58

Deku and Gran Torino part ways as their internship ends. Gran Torino’s a bit disappointed, but All Might’s successor says that he’s grateful for the training that helped him fight against Stain.

Gran Torino warns Deku that he probably damaged his arm slightly in the attack, so he still has a ways to go to become like All Might.

Before Deku leaves, he asks Gran Torino why his name isn’t well known in spite of being strong enough to discipline All Might. The Jet Hero says that it’s just because he wasn’t interested in being a Hero, only getting certified to train All Might. But he tells him that All Might will explain more when he tells him about his past.

As Deku leaves, Gran Torino sees how Deku, in spite of being so different in appearance, is just like All Might in general attitude towards being a Hero. Gran Torino even jokes with Deku, asking who he is, Deku correcting himself by not using his actual name, but his Hero name that we’ve gotten used to.

Everyone else is talking about how their Hero Experience Internships went as we shift back to Yuuei Academy. Most of them were fairly average, though Ochako apparently got a great deal of training from Gunhead, much stronger in appearance, emitting a sort of aura. Minoru was traumatized in some way by Mt. Lady, commenting that women hide their true nature from men most of the time.

But the ones who get the most attention are Iida, Deku and Todoroki, having survived an attack from Stain the Hero Killer. Some of the students think he’s cool, Iida acknowledging that he had conviction, but that he was still in the wrong with his course of action against Heroes.

All Might arrives, saying that the class will now do a rescue race, moving to a new location where he’ll be waiting, the first person in each group of 5 to find him being the “winner”. It’s a construction site with lots of obstacles in the way, proving a huge challenge compared to other locales.

Deku’s group has himself, Iida, Ashido, Ojiro and Sero, all people with great maneuverability. The rest of the class is waiting, only one group going at a time, thinking that everyone in the group has a chance of winning this.

It seems like Sero has an advantage, climbing with his tape to a higher place to get over the construction equipment. But suddenly Deku shows that he’s gotten better at using One For All, utilizing what Bakugou sees as his moves, Deku again imitating him and taking those techniques for his own in a way.

But Deku slips, still not used to using the Quirk at 5% as perfectly as he should, falling to last place, Sero placing 1st.

The chapter ends as All Might congratulates them all, telling Deku to come to his place, where he’ll give the background for himself and All For One.

Seven Deadly Sins 139

Ban has managed to revive the Fairy King Tree as we flashback briefly to the aftermath of King’s fight against the Albion. He also revives King with his blood, the fairies all praising Harlequin for saving them and recognizing him as the Fairy King again.

Before Ban leaves, Gerharde thanks him, but the Sin of Greed grabs her, saying that if she threatens Elaine again, he’ll kill her.

As he departs, King asks Ban if he’s really going to leave, Ban saying that he’s made his decision.

Ban is awoken by Jericho as he’s sleeping in a bar. She’s worried about the men looking at them, the thief saying that they’re targeting her, since she looks good to them, someone they can steal from. They leave, returning to the inn, since they couldn’t get any info from the bar patrons.

They reserve a room, Ban asking about the rumor of someone being revived from the dead, but the innkeeper says he doesn’t know anything about that.

The two start to go to bed, Ban sleeping on the floor since he’s more used to it, Jericho reluctantly getting in the bed that has bugs in it.

Jericho wonders why Ban knows so much about this place, Ban responding that he used to live here. But before Jericho can ask him to tell her more about his childhood, they hear a group of people chasing someone and beating them.

Ban tells Jericho to stay out of it, but once the people say that the person they’re threatening revived someone, Ban stops them.

The person is picked up by Ban, thrown over his shoulder and he throws them at the wall in the inn, knowing that they were more skilled than they let on. It turns out the person is a werefox, having great thieving skills and able to dodge the blows from their assailants well enough that they were barely hurt.

Ban asks him if he really resurrected someone, the werefox saying they have no such powers, humans just superstitious of them. As he moves to leave, he collapses, saying that he’s getting old and likely dying. His clan was intelligent, but few in number, so they were slowly dwindling due to humans pushing them out of their territories.

The werefox says that Ban couldn’t possibly know what it’s like to have to live by stealing, but Ban flashes back to his own childhood, stealing from a vendor and being caught, thrown into Aberdeen Prison.

He meets someone called Zhivago, who gives him some food, telling the child that he’s busting out soon, the chapter ending as we see him, likely the person who inspired Ban to seek out the Fountain of Youth later in life.

World Trigger 114

Ninomiya is told by his Operator that Ema’s leg was wounded, but he’s still in the fight. He asks for Ema’s location, telling Aki to support Tsuji after she’s communicated that information, since he’ll be focusing on Ema while Tsuji takes on Yuma and the others.

Yuma’s fight against Azuma’s two Attackers, Kageura and Tsuji is tough, already losing a leg in the melee to a shot from Azuma, still providing cover fire as a Sniper.

Kako and Kazama both observe that Azuma Squad has a solid control of the environment and are putting Kuga and Kageura at a disadvantage. The best solution would be to disrupt Azuma squad’s rhythm somehow in spite of their lower numbers.

Ema’s trying to get away from Ninomiya, but he blows into the building, Ema telling Kitazoe he can’t hold him off for long.

Yuma is managing to keep Azuma’s Attackers at bay, a Scorpion from his head blocking Koarai’s attack from behind. Tsuji slices off Yuma’s arm in the melee, but Koarai is targeted by Kageura, narrowly dodging, since he has Grasshopper, Kageura less mobile than they are.

Ema Bails Out, defeated by Ninomiya, meaning his squad is now tied with Azuma and Kageura.

Kitazoe fires a volley of Asteroids at Azuma, who snipes them in midair with his astounding skills.

But as Azuma fires to take out Kitazoe, Ninomiya Shields him, saying that he wants the point. Kitazoe fires more Asteroids, explosions disrupting the fight between the Attackers elsewhere.

Koarai is taken out by Kageura, while Okudera is defeated by Yuma, who takes advantage of his arm being detached to distract Tsuji and Okudera and get the point.

Tsuji’s immediately taken out by Azuma, the explosions providing a line of sight for him. 

Now only Kageura, Azuma, Ninomiya, Kitazoe and Yuma are left, the chapter ending as everyone’s still confused as to who got points, Kageura and Yuma squaring off to fight all out.

Magi 279

Kouen emphasizes to Hakuryuu how powerful Gyokuen seemed to him. She was the one who mediated about the Metal Vessels and Dungeons for the Kou Empire to pursue, but she also appeared to not regard even Kouen as a threat to her, let alone the combined might of all the Metal Vessel users in the empire.

He even had the royal magicians research her power to utilize the Black Rukh and convert it to magoi. This enabled her to attack on Extreme Magic level multiple times, meaning any average Metal Vessel user would be powerless against her magical capacity.

But most dangerous of all was the knowledge she had from Alma Torran. She already was aware of the Magic Isolation Barrier than Judar and Hakuryuu used against her, to say nothing of the Djinns, the Dungeons and other such things, so she was easily the most informed in this world, even moreso than Aladdin.

So Kouen sought after knowledge to get closer to her level of skill so he could eventually gain his revenge as well, since he saw Hakuryuu’s brothers as his own.

He’s especially skeptical about Gyokuen’s death because she spoke of her existence being pure consciousness, so her body dying might not have killed her. Hakuryuu noted that he detected the scattering of her Rukh, so it’s likely she couldn’t have survived, unless she could reconstitute herself.

Kouen tells Hakuryuu how surprised he is that he beat Gyokuen, since he thought he’d be the one to do it. The young emperor is irritated as Kouen admits he has lost to Hakuryuu in that respect.

He further emphasizes that he wants Hakuryuu to lead the empire with Kouha and Koumei at his side, while he takes responsibility for starting this war that could’ve been avoided.

Before Kouen can make his final request, Aladdin bursts in, telling Hakuryuu not to kill him, since he would be truly alone, Aladdin still believing both Judar and Alibaba are dead.

As a way to make up for that, he wants to be a Magi that sees that the world cannot be absolutely unified in the way that was sought by Al Thamen, supporting Hakuryuu in his endeavors.

Aladdin tells Hakuryuu that he wants to see how the emperor will live his life after gaining his revenge, since he sought to determine his own fate after this point. Hakuryuu is divided about this, snapping at Aladdin.

He is so angered by their desires being forced on him, saying that as emperor, he decides who lives and who dies.

 

The chapter ends as we see that Hakuryuu has determined that Koumei and Kouha will be exiled, but Kouen will be executed.

Bleach 642

Correction from last week: it turns out Pernida’s last attack he was making on Mayuri before Nemu resolved to help him was actually him using the special ability of Demonic Recumbent Womb from Mayuri’s Bankai to negate his nerve killing serum, another result of his evolving ability with the nerves.

We begin the chapter with a flashback of Nemu talking to Akon, the 3rd seat of 12th Division, wondering why Mayuri isn’t calling her by the technical name she was given, Nemuri Nanagou.

Back in the present at the facility, something activates, turning out to be the previous versions of Nemu, though most of them were horribly incomplete, little more than bits of genetic material. The 4th version was where they started to make a breakthrough, which Mayuri applied to his Zanpakutou to give it the form it has now of a baby.

The 6th form reached the age of 2, but the cell life suddenly stopped and it died quickly at that point. When Nemu reached far beyond that age, Mayuri was overjoyed.

Nemu pushes Akon to answer, but he says he really doesn’t know, suggesting she ask Mayuri, which she says likely wouldn’t yield any real answers.

Akon’s only suggestion is that Mayuri is embarrassed, which Nemu finds hard to believe. But he emphasizes that Mayuri’s dream was to create life from nonlife, befitting a Soul Reaper who normally only kills. At the same time, Mayuri thought it was admittedly bizarre, so he gave the project a name ”Nemuri/Sleeping” to reflect that you were awake while dreaming.

Ultimately the dream of making a Soul Reaper from nothing was Mayuri’s goal, not that of Soul Society as a whole, by Akon’s speculation. Nemu progressing so fast just makes Mayuri all the happier, yet he can’t bring himself to just refer to her as a thing anymore, since she’s become a person of her own.

Nemu wonders if Mayuri will ever call her Nanagou again, Akon saying that she’s too important to Mayuri for him to do that.

In the present, Nemu manages to heavily damage Pernidas and get Mayuri out of danger. He asks how she used such power, Nemu explaining that she has pushed her body to near its limits, Mayuri retorting that he didn’t order such a thing. But she responds that it’s merely her following the purpose she was given, to protect Mayuri.

Mayuri argues her purpose is to progress, Nemu responding that in protecting him she can show how much she has evolved. She throws him away as she moves to fight Pernidas, the Soul Reaper thinking how embarrassing it is that he has to be protected by his creation.

The chapter ends as Nemu shaves off 6% of her very soul and channels it into an attack at Pernidas, said to be able to obliterate whatever it hits.

Toriko 338

As Jirou remains curious about the monster before him, Chichi actually realizes what it is. The top of Jirou is seemingly bitten off, but he actually dodged. Attempting to use Knocking on it doesn’t work, so Jirou starts to get serious. His musculature is enhanced immensely and he starts to use an attack called Big Bang as we shift scenes.

Midora only froze for a fraction of a second, but it was enough for Joa to attack him in that opening. She explains that there is a beast that is only vulnerable every million years for a split second.

It seems as if Midora was the one in danger, but he managed to dodge the attack and counter to strike Joa 8 times, who protected herself with the Life Orbs. The ingredients from before have Food Spirits in them that take the damage, which Joa is impressed that Midora took out 8 of them at once in that instant.

She thinks to herself that it’d be dangerous if Midora went wild here.

Midora asks her if she’s Frohze’s reincarnation, brought back to life in place of Frohze. Joa explains that he (his gender appears to be male, though it’s unclear) is CENTER itself, Frohze’s soul refusing to come back because she feared Acacia’s true goal. 

The Gourmet God sought only to eat everything, to find new tastes. With the memories of the Gourmet Cells, Acacia seeks out The Farthest Land, seemingly in space, where they are drawn by the innate pull in their very essence to find that food and consume it.

It turns out that the big bang itself that created the universe also generated Gourmet Energy, which eventually developed into Gourmet Cells. The promise of food from ancient times is what motivates Acacia, to discover the absolute truth of his desire to eat.

The Gourmet Demon inside Joa speaks about how there is nothing else important in this world besides eating, humans complicating everything with their emotions and regarding Frohze as foolish for holding Acacia back.

Midora responds with anger to this provocation, saying that even if he’s not really angry, they’ve at least brought out a reason for him to fight at full power.

The chapter ends as Midora unleashes Meteor Spice, possibly destroying all of NEO headquarters with the blast.

Fairy Tail 451

Zeref arrives at Fairy Tail, Precht shocked to see Mavis after over a year of her being missing. He explains that he took over the job after she disappeared, Zeref throwing her corpse to the ground, saying he just came to return it.

Precht is stunned, not sure if Mavis is dead or sleeping, but Zeref confirms she’s gone from that body. He explains who he is, Precht realizing that he’s the Black Mage Zeref.

Zeref leaves, thinking that he never should have fallen in love, just wanting to go back to his simulation as the Spriggan Emperor.

Precht notes that Mavis is still faintly alive in some way, putting her in the Lacryma we see her in at present, trying every method to resurrect her, but all failing. He eventually deduced that she was under the curse of Ancselam, keeping it secret that she was the one who killed Rita. Precht announced to the guild that Mavis died, erecting an empty grave on Tenrou Island to remember her.

In that same year, Precht officially became the master in accordance with Mavis’ will, but Yuri died 3 years later, all the while Precht still trying to resurrect Mavis.

30 years later, Precht’s persistence, combined with the innate power of Ancselam’s curse, allowed for a new magic to come about from Mavis’ body, Fairy Heart, the Eternal Magic.

Mavis explains that it’s essentially an endless source of magical energy, something that Ivan, Makarov’s son, sought after, as well as Alvareth once it was known to them.

The sheer power would allow for infinite firings of Etherion, a continent destroying cannon. Mavis speculates that Zeref may want it to stop Acnologia, one of the few threats to his plan.

Happy asks why they don’t just use it to stop both Acnologia and Alvareth, Makarov saying he considered it when faced with the threat of Face, but the power could become uncontrollable.

Mavis apologizes for how her own decisions and the curse that came from her use of Law created such a danger to the guild she held dear. But everyone else says that she had good intentions and they brought all the people in Fairy Tail together today. The bad fortune she suffered shouldn’t override the good that came out of the guild she made that created such strong friendships.

Juvia thinks it’s sad that Mavis has to fight someone she loves, but Mavis says their love is long gone, since he is a threat to the world.

The chapter ends with everyone wondering how they can stop Zeref, Natsu responding that he has a secret weapon in his right arm that he’s been planning to use.
