Boku no Hero Academia 65

The chapter begins by confirming that My Hero Academia will indeed have an anime, though it’s just greenlit at this point: we don’t know the studio, voice actors or the like yet, but it’s very exciting for a series to get this announcement, though this early makes me a bit concerned as well.

We resume on All Might having subdued Deku and Bakugou, the two wondering how it was possible when he says he’s only got about 20 minutes left

They flashback to fleeing All Might, Bakugou still amazed at the #1 Hero’s power to send a shockwave as powerful as he did. Deku wonders if All Might could’ve fainted from that attack, Bakugou saying that’s impossible, since Deku knows better than anyone how strong he is.

He plans to send Deku flying with his bracer if All Might catches up, but as he says this, All Might appears, shattering Bakugou’s gauntlet.

We hear the announcement of Momo and Todoroki’s victory, All Might thinking that he can’t let his guard down because of that. Deku tries to struggle and escape, but All Might pins him down again, Bakugou finally getting the full experience of how strong All Might is.

But Bakugou unleashes a powerful explosion to distract All Might long enough for him to grab Deku and throw him towards the gate.



However, Deku is struck by All Might, who thinks they were naïve to try such a simple tactic.

Bakugou bursts in behind All Might, noting that his gauntlet was just to utilize his full power without risks, but he knows now he can’t win this without taking a chance. He blasts All Might with a massive explosion, telling Deku to go ahead of him to win.

Deku notes that it’ll take him at least one leap in Full Cowl to get there. But even as Bakugou moves to cover his friend, All Might strikes him hard again. 



As Deku sees All Might coming towards him, Bakugou recovers yet again, grabbing All Might. Deku takes the opportunity and punches his mentor with Full Cowl, distracting him enough so that he can grab Bakugou and run through the gate, completing the exam.




The chapter ends as All Might is impressed, the tough situation a motivator for Deku to push past his limits and overcome all challenges.





Seven Deadly Sins 147

As Galan and Merascylla continue to chase Ban’s group, the Commandment of Truth notices that his strength has returned, striking the ground with great force to show off how much Ban stole from him.

Merascylla tells Galan that their targets have slowed, likely from Ban using the maximum extent of his Snatch power. Galan says he’ll test something out as we move to Ban’s group.

Jericho is struggling to hold the two, nearly collapsing or tripping on foliage. Elaine apologizes to Jericho, saying that she was terrible to think all humans but Ban were awful.

But before Jericho can respond, she’s forced to dodge giant boulders that we see Merascylla carving out of a mountain, while Galan hits them like a golfball.

He puts an extra spin on the newest one, Jericho stunned as it turns back after landing. The Holy Knight throws Ban and Elaine to the side, taking the boulder head on, Ban stunned that she survived. But Jericho reminds him that she’s a Holy Knight apprentice, even as she collapses from the strain.

She pushes herself to go on, Ban telling her to stop. But she retorts that even if they’re giving up, it just makes her want to continue forward to save them.

Galan makes another shot, which after crashing near Jericho, knocks her off a cliff. Elaine cushions their fall with a wind blast, the group near a cave that Jericho moves towards.



They find that it goes further in, a door before them that opens into a bar. We see a seemingly mild mannered old man who welcomes them as the chapter ends.



If one isn’t familiar with all 7 Sins, this is Escanor, hinted at by his appearance, which is weak depending on the time of day, not to mention his Sacred Treasure above the spirits he’s serving, as well as the name of the bar, “My Sweet Gluttony,” which is referring to Merlin, who Escanor deeply admired and loved.





World Trigger 120

Yuma and Osamu are confused at the expression “master”, Enedora explaining that it’s more like a foster parent. Hyuse was of low birth, but had decent Trion, so his master picked him up, used the experimental Trion horns and trained him to be a soldier

The Erin family may have been kinder to Hyuse, treating him more like a son than a soldier.

Osamu wonders if Hyuse knew about the plan, Enedora saying that he and Hyuse may have both been tricked by Hyrein into thinking they were focused on one plan, but he was using them both to keep each other in the dark of his intent to have both plans go through: abandon both Enedora and Hyuse for differing, but similar reasons to being in the way of Hyrein’s plan to gain influence in Aftokrator.

Enedora thinks it’s possible Hyuse is suspicious, or at least wants to get back to his family, using Galopoula or Rhodokhroun as an opportunity to return. The group leaves, noting that they need to keep a close eye on Hyuse, Jin’s Foresight only so much to rely on.



Yuma and Osamu talk about the possibility of recruiting Hyuse, since they both need to get to Aftokrator, creating the possibility of a shared interest for an alliance.

Yuma wonders if they should research the vassal nations of Aftokrator, but Osamu says they should focus on Rank Wars for now to advance and improve their overall skill for future missions, like the Away Mission to the Neighborhood.



We see Chika in training firing the Lead Bullet with Ibis, but it’s too slow, as Yuzuru noted. But when it does hit, the person is pretty much immobilized with massive Lead Bullets. The Lightning/Lead Bullet strategy still seems the most feasible, though Izuho also notes that Asteroid or Hound could be a nice backup for Chika, since we saw it was very powerful in the last invasion.

Chika tells the two how happy she feels to be spending time with them and improving as Snipers, not wanting to be in Osamu or Yuma’s way until she feels she can match up to them.

The defense meeting concludes, Miwa accepting an offer from Azuma about yakiniku, while Jin is rebuffed by Miwa, who tells him to stop slacking off. The others say that Jin shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden alone.

The chapter ends as we see a group of Neighbors from Galopoula moving closer to Meeden/Earth, Rhodokhroun only sending Trion soldiers, while the Galopoula Neighbors are noted to have special Trion soldiers and new Triggers.



World Trigger is on break next week





One Piece 805

Zoro comments that the attack from Carrot was like electricity flowing through his blade. Franky is confused at this race, Usopp asking where they got Nami’s clothes. Robin thinks they might’ve eaten them.

As Carrot jumps into the air to see if there are invaders, she notices there’s fighting near Claw City

They head off, the other Mink giving them directions to the rest of the crew’s corpses. As they leave, Carrot notes that they’re going to be shocked at what happens, but her superior says they have no choice, even if they have to fight Luffy, who they think may be attacking at Whale Forest.

The group is confused as to whether the rest of the crew might be dead, Franky thinking they could still be alive, Robin noting that the corpses are still intact. Zoro thinks Sanji couldn’t have been killed that easily.

Robin asks Law if he can contact his crew, the Death Surgeon noting that he has Bepo’s Vivre card. It turns out his navigator is also a Mink, though he doesn’t remember much, since he left the kingdom at a young age. The group heads out to find him, thinking that’d be better than following another Mink’s orders, since Law trusts Bepo as a friend.

We shift to Luffy fighting some of the Guardians that Carrot spoke of. A Bull Mink’s Electro power doesn’t work on Luffy as they butt heads. One of Law’s crew members tells them to stop fighting, but a Gorilla Mink throws him on his back. Suddenly, Carrot and her boss come in, distracting them with a flowing cape and bananas respectively.



Wanda, the Dog Mink, tells the Guardians that she’ll take Luffy out of the forest if they’ll leave, the third Guardian, Pedro, telling his allies to retreat. Luffy’s shocked, seeing that they had him surrounded, Wanda saying it could’ve been worse if the moon was out.



Luffy’s still confused at this place, while Bepo asks how he doesn’t recognize them from Law’s crew. There’s some confusion with Luffy calling Trafalgar “Traffy”, but eventually Bepo realizes that Luffy’s talking about his captain, excited that he’s here.

Robin and the others are still investigating the situation with the city, seemingly abandoned recently, with some signs of life still around, such as a pot of stew. They see a giant footprint, but Law thinks it could’ve been a conflict between the Minks. 



Wanda is explaining the situation to Luffy, the city having fallen into ruin thanks to someone called Jack, possibly the same one that was pursuing Doflamingo.

The chapter concludes as Luffy is told by Wanda that she’ll take him to her friends, though she seems to react oddly when Luffy thinks they’re alive.





Bleach 649

Lille tries to swim out, but finds that the surface keeps slipping away from him.

Shunsui comments that they’re in this together, but also says that it isn’t just their bodies that begin to grow cold, but their wills. He says that it is shameful that the Quincy can be so selfish, but seems to speak about himself as well in breaking an oath. A woman being loyal to him, the compassion she manifests, is implied to refer to one half of Katen Kyokotsu, Sakuranosuke.



She’s fairly hostile, regarding him as a womanizer and generally selfish in nature, but she’s still sticking to her bond of fealty to him, taking in everything he loves and hates.

Lille thinks this is still not enough to beat him, rushing at the Shinigami to kill him.

But suddenly, Shunsui notes again of how a woman can suffer as well for her love, suddenly losing passion.

The Final Stage of his Bankai activates, Thread Cutting Shears, Blood Stained Windpipe. The Ex Axis’ throat is slashed and his reiatsu explodes out of him, seemingly defeated as he falls into the abyss.



Shunsui collapses on Sakuranosuke’s lap, happy to be with her in his final moments. But the Zanpakutou still acts flippant, thinking they’re incompatible to begin with. As the Soul Reaper begins to speak about his true feelings, he’s blasted through the chest with a massive beam from Lille Barro.



The chapter ends as the Quincy still manages to survive in a twisted form, saying that his Bankai cannot stand against his powers as a prophet.







Toriko 345

The mysterious woman who met with Komatsu reminds the chef of someone, possible Frohze or his Gourmet Cell Demon. But she suddenly disappears as they’re surrounded by other chefs from Blue Grill.

They ask what Komatsu’s doing here, the old man saying he’s here for work. The chefs accept it, taking him with them as Komatsu continues to wonder about that woman, her voice familiar to him.

Meanwhile, Chako is given a mask by the person who took him aside, telling him to wear it and go to the line for the Red Pot. He’s taken away as the person worries for him, thinking he has potential to make something of himself, implying it may be his mother after Soul Transaction.

The old man explains to Komatsu that the selection divides people into those with abnormal bodies and abnormal spirits, the latter switched with those who are excellent in nature, allowing them to work and advance in status, like that of the 10 Shell Five. They were revived countless times, so they retained all that experience, seeming like they’ve lived thousands of years.

The abnormal bodies, however, are killed and turned into fertilizer, providing savoriness for the Full Course. Or if they’re lucky, they’ll be put into forced labor.

The group enters the First Kitchen, where AIR is being prepared, Komatsu amazed at them, even commenting how he’s prepared and eaten it. One of the superiors thinks he’s crazy, explaining that it takes several years with their method, developed by Ika, the Soul Reviver.

But Komatsu insists that their method is wrong, saying that he can finish this project with his skill.

We see Jiji’s group in the Back Channel, Damala asking him whether the World of Souls and the Back Channel are the same thing. The Gold Chef notes that the World of Souls is the deepest part of the Back Channel, something comparable to a Safe Zone from a Camping Monster, the greatest of its kind.

We’re told that ANOTHER is the source of all the savoriness in the Gourmet World seas. Whale King Moon is just one of the predators that seeks it, but the mysterious fish managed to escape even the high gravity of Whale King Moon by surpassing the speed of light, entering into the Back Channel, which is a type of Safe Zone that’s greater than those of the Camping Monsters, and of greater scale, it seems.

Even the Warp Kitchen and Warp Road are artificial forms of Back Channel, also allowing flesh and blood bodies to enter the Back Channel, time flowing slower, but still flowing. There is said to be a world called Time Zero, which is the World of Souls, where only consciousness can reach. The gates are where ANOTHER escaped, meaning it became more of a soul in exceeding the speed of light.

Rin asks how they create the artificial Back Channels, Asarudy showing them the kitchens where they’re preparing Acacia’s Full Course, saying that’s part of how they achieved this power.



They explain that this is their goal, Jiji noting that it’s similar to what the Blue Nitro are doing. The chapter ends as we see that Komatsu has done the true preparation method for AIR, Asarudy in shock at this.





Fairy Tail 458




Azir is shocked to see that a blade cut him, Erza revealing that her new Poseidon sword has water properties to harden it. As the Desert King unleashes a wave of sand at her, she uses the Wind God Sword to blow it away, the combination seemingly giving her the advantage.




But then Azir initiates a sand storm that engulfs the entirety of Magnolia, everyone’s vision obscured, only the Dragon Slayers able to seemingly even track someone with their noses.

Wahru even notes that Azir using this suggests he might see Erza as a challenge.

We see that Erza can’t fight against Azir as he’s seemingly mixed in with the sandstorm, firing blades of sand and knocking her back. She’s immobilized as he grabs her, sucking away the life force in her body as water. All he asks is that she call him God.

But Erza won’t back down, saying that everyone knows who to believe in, and it’s not the Spriggan master of sand.

She unleashes Armor of the Morning Star, the light serving as a beacon for Bisca to fire Jupiter Cannon at Azir. The blast strikes him and Erza finishes him off with Nakagami Starlight as the chapter ends with the sandstorm dissipating.
