Boku no Hero Academia 71 and 72
The class arrives at 5:20, meaning
there was no reason for the Wild PussyCats to threaten them with no lunch. The
unnamed Hero who made the earth beasts from before compliments them on
progressing as well as they did, even if it still took them 4x as long as they
predicted.
She’s especially impressed at Deku,
Iida, Todoroki and Shoto’s progress, even thinking she might want to marry them
later, though that’s chalked up to her being in her mid 20s.
The boy with them is the other Pussy
Cat, Mandalei’s nephew, punching Deku in the groin after he tries to introduce
himself. Kouta tells them he doesn’t want to be a Hero like them.
Aizawa tells the group to get
settled in, have some dinner and relax, the real training starting tomorrow.
Everyone’s eating together, the
girls noting how the boys’ dorm is bigger than theirs, wanting to hang out
later. Kirishima and Kaminari are amazed at the food’s quality, even commenting
on the bowls they’re eating from being earthenware.
But the real thing that draws in the
boys isn’t food, according to Mineta, but the prospect of peeping in the girls
while they’re bathing in the hot spring next to theirs.
He uses his Quirk to scale the wall,
even when Iida tells him not to, but Kouta stops him, pushing him down and
telling him to become a better person than this before he even tries to become
a Hero.
The girls thank him, but Kouta falls
over, afraid of heights, but caught by Deku as Mineta falls onto Iida’s face.
Deku is told by the PussyCats that
Kouta’s parents died in the line of duty as Heroes. The fact that he was so
young made it hard for him to understand why people praised them for their
sacrifice to protect others, since his parents were his whole world. He resents
all Heroes, thinking they’re in it for the fame and nothing else, only obeying
the orders of his aunt because he has no other family.
Deku thinks to himself that he can’t
pretend to understand Kouta’s perspective, but he knows that he’s coming from a
point that makes him think about how someone like All Might admits he can’t
save everyone, but still tries his best.
The next day, Aizawa explains that
they’re getting a refresher of their training when they were first admitted,
including the training test that showed the extent of their Quirk development
at that point.
Bakugou’s throw isn’t much further
than what it was 3-4 months ago, Aizawa saying they’ve mostly been improving in
mental or skill based ways, but now they need to push themselves further with
their physical stamina and the like to boost their Quirk powers. The chapter
ends as he hopes they won’t die on him during this training.
The next chapter starts with Class
B’s teacher, Blood Hero Blood King, saying that they need to surpass Class A by
training their Quirks as well. The students are confused as to how they’d
achieve that, the Pro Hero saying that they need to improve through repetition,
like an athlete strengthens their muscles.
We see Class A training in various
ways to improve their endurance in Quirk usage, such as Todoroki sitting in
what seems to be a hot tub and utilizing both sides of Fire and Ice, or Mineta
ripping off the Sticky Balls from his head more than usual, bleeding.
Brad King explains that this is the
method: Heroes who have limits on their abilities, like Bakugou’s Explosion,
must push themselves beyond those constraints, while mutant types like Asui, must
train their organs to get better with them.
Kendou wonders how 6 Heroes can keep
up with 40 students, the Wild Wild Pussycats revealing their full lineup.
Pixiebob (who I missed the name of a few chapters ago), has Flowstone, which
allows her to manipulate earth, Mandelei has Telepathy, Ragdoll has a Search
Quirk, allowing her to monitor up to 100 people at once, and Tiger, the only
male in the group, has an unnamed Quirk that seems to enable him to take a lot
of physical damage or avoid it, it’s not clear
Deku tries to punch him, Tiger
knocking him back as he says he still needs to push himself further.
Kouta watches as Deku continues to
fight with Tiger, Aizawa noting that these 4 are the best to train large
groups, since their Quirks are better able to be used against them.
We find that the students have to
prepare their own meals now, Iida thinking this is to help them when they must
feed the homeless and the like. The students help each other out, Momo
explaining in more detail that her Quirk lets her convert fat to anything, so
she has to eat a lot, which was shown briefly in her Quirk training session
alongside Sato, who was eating sugar to increase his potential.
Deku follows Kouta, who tells him to
go away, since this is his secret base. He reminds Deku that he doesn’t want to
have anything to do with Heroes, since he thinks they just want to show off.
Deku theorizes that Kouta’s parents
were the Water Quirk users, the Water Horses (or possibly Water Hose from Viz’s
translation, referring to just one of his parents), Kouta retorting that it
doesn’t change how arrogant Heroes are in his view, fighting Villains to get
the spotlight and dying like his parents did in a foolish way.
But Deku tells Kouta that he wasn’t
born with a Quirk, so he knows how Kouta feels in a way, admiring Heroes, but
not able to become one because of poor luck. He says that Kouta will end up
hurting himself with this hatred of Quirks and Heroes, leaving him with the
curry they were preparing. Viz’s version suggests Deku isn’t talking about
himself directly, but using a “friend” to talk about his own situation in a way
that doesn’t make it so personal.
We also see something that suggests
Kouta may have a Quirk, the wall nearby damaged by what looks like water.
The chapter ends as we see Dabi and
Himiko along with 2 other Villains, preparing to give a warning to the students
at the camp, in order to change the world for Stain’s goals.
Seven Deadly Sins 154
Outside the building where Denzel,
Fraudrin and Death Pierce are fighting, the other Pleiades are discussing
whether to leave, Dogget meeting them and asking for the incantation ball to
release the Absolute Cube.
Fraudrin says that they don’t have
to believe him regarding Gowther’s identity as the Selfless, but if they’d
killed him, then Gowther would’ve regained his Commandment power, which
Fraudrin has at present.
But Denzel and Deathpierce aren’t
going to let him leave. They’re shocked as the Perefct Cube is negated, the
door opening as they wonder why Dogget is there.
It’s revealed it’s not him, the form
twisting into Grayroad, the Pacifist of the Ten Commandments, a black mass with
what seems to be masks scattered throughout it. He comments that the humans are
weak, though one has an interesting trait (likely Denzel).
Deldrey’s group is preparing to
leave, but is shocked to see the real Dogget, who’s confused at the turn of
events.
The two sides in the research tower
start to square off, but Denzel says he’ll let Fraudrin go for now, concerned
about Grayroad’s Commandment, possibly activating if he kills the Commandment
of Altruism.
Death Pierce thinks that they have a
chance, but Denzel reminds him they can’t capture them with what they have at
hand. But Fraudrin brings up that even if they can’t use magic due to his
Melody power, they aren’t on equal terms, hinting that he has more power up his
sleeve that he hasn’t utilized yet.
As the two leave, Deldrey is
shocked, since Dreyfus should’ve been under her power. But the Absolute Cancel
incantation also negated her spell, Fraudrin stabbing her through the gut as he
leaves her to die.
He tells Deldrey that Dreyfus
insists she should save herself for the person she truly loves. The demon
pauses, wondering why he spared them, deciding to blast them away with Dreyfus’
Break power, a massive explosion collapsing the area nearby.
The chapter ends as the two
Commandments leave, the Pleiades all but destroyed in that attack.
World Trigger 124 and 125
The gate’s opening is about 400 km
to the northeast, multiple readings indicating that this is the planned
invasion Jin foresaw.
But the next round of B Rank wars
are starting with Kageura, Azuma and Yuba squad in the top rank, while Tamakoma
2, Kakizaki and Katori squad in the next lowest echelon. If they’re going to
continue with them, those 6 squads can’t defend Mikado City against the
invasion.
Shinoda says they’ll continue as
planned, but if they target the agents at HQ, they’ll stop them, Azuma guiding
them as their superior. They set up squads in the other areas in case of a
diversion, moving forward with their plans as they inform Kazama and the
commentators as well of the situation.
Jin leaves Yotaro to guard Hyuse,
who noticed the presence of the Idras, which indicates Rhodokhroun’s slight
participation with Trion soldiers.
The child falls asleep, having worn
himself out before with his enthusiasm to guard Hyuse, the Neighbor leaving the
room, locking it behind him as he searches for his Lambiris Trigger. Unable to
find it, he thinks that he’ll have a replacement when he gets home, focusing on
getting to one of the vassal nations to escape. As he leaves, he seems to
regard Yotaro kindly, thanking him for his hospitality.
There are 2 Sniper teams on top of
HQ, ready to target the Trion soldiers that are moving towards the center of
the city. We see the Idras in person for once, humanoid shaped Trion soldiers,
which are easy targets according to Touma.
But as they attack, the soldiers
combine Shield Triggers to defend themselves. The Snipers then decide to target
one at a time, Reiji’s team from the left and Isami’s from the right.
The combined efforts succeed,
Shooter/Gunner squads on the ground supporting them.
The Galopoula group is told by their
superior to continue their assault in spite of Meeden having planned for them,
one keeping the Snipers busy with a rain of tiny projectiles that summon gates
which release the Dog Trion soldiers from before.
Reiji and Arafune hold them off with
their Attacker skills, the other Snipers retreating.
Amo notices that some of the Idras
are a different color. The chapter ends as those distinct Trion Soldiers reveal
that they were the Neighbors from Galopoula disguised, having infiltrated HQ
with a gate used by the other Idras.
The next chapter begins as Shinoda
commands Fuyushima to close off the gates while the others evacuate the C ranks
and civilians from HQ
Gatlin’s group seeks the shortest
route, Wen being the member to take on agents who face them, while 2 others
will draw away the agents outside so they don’t have to engage with them while
they focus on destroying the ship.
One of the Galopoula team asks
Gatlin if they should take Aftokrator’s order to eliminate any captives from
the Holy Land, the captain saying that since that’s what they asked and they
have a recording, they probably should.
Jin appears, assaulting them with
Fuujin, which they manage to defend against, since Aftokrator experienced his
attacks before against Hyrein.
HQ’s Ace realizes that the Neighbors
are after the away ship, but they know that there’s a limit to their tunnel
Triggers, so they focus on heading them off at strategic points after they
escape his sight.
Amo implies the nature of his Side
Effect, able to assess the power levels of any target that he observes, ranking
the Idras as lower B Rank agents, while Gatlin is on the level of Shinoda,
meaning he’s especially strong. The Dogs are meant to be a distraction, but the
Idras as a group become stronger compared to individual strengths.
Instead of pulling in more agents
from outside, Shinoda says they’ll use inside personnel to fight the 3
intruders, but also directing the others outside to find the ones who are
controlling the Trion soldiers outside so they don’t get overwhelmed.
Other Attackers arrive, including
Midorikawa, providing support to the Snipers on the roof against the Dogs.
Gatlin’s group is assaulted by a
Shooter, Wen turning around to fend them off while Gatlin and Ratarykov
continue on. Nasu and Kumagai, the agents who were following them, go after the
female Neighbor, who summons more Dogs with a Trigger.
The chapter ends as Yoneya and Miwa
spot Koskero, one of the two Galopoula Neighbors who are distracting the agents
outside HQ, the battle starting between them.
Magi 288
Alibaba enters Rakushou, surprised
at how empty it seems, no one around, but the buildings also not having changed
much.
As Alibaba and Budel share drinks
and food, the wine seller tells his new friend that he thinks the Kou Empire is
on its last legs
The prohibition of conscription and
slavery hit the Kou Empire the hardest, since that was a major part of their
power and influence. They had a great deal of military strength, which kept the
people in line, as well as the slaves balancing out issues that forced the
country to ration food for those not in the military, where food was
guaranteed.
The military, unable to be maintained
alongside the constraint on conscription, was pushed into a new world and with
their limited skills, couldn’t function. But even the free migration policy
drew people away because there was no economic progress in Kou, since very few
people could start a business, which was where the majority of power was in
this new society. Soldiers and slaves alike were either pressured into the
slums by no jobs or into crime as the sky pirates we saw before.
Because of Kouen’s attempt to unify
culture, there weren’t tourist attractions, as well as a growing surge of
movements for freedom, which Hakuryuu was unable to stop even with new laws,
forced to leave the throne as the International Alliance quelled the riots.
Budel notes that Kou used to be
great, everyone feeling more like equals, while Sinbad’s structure creates a
plutocracy, where money is power. But the wine seller enjoys this state of
things.
The next day, Alibaba asks who the
new emperor is, Kougyoku revealed to be in charge, though she’s doing no
better, Kou in danger of bankruptcy.
Alibaba wants to meet her, deciding
not to use the influence of the pass Sinbad gave him, since he regards Kougyoku
as a good friend, the chapter ending on that resolve to do things simply.
Bleach 656
As Gerard continues to step through
Soul Palace, Askin notices that his fellow Schuhtzstaffel has unleashed his
power, which he isn’t surprised at since Lille was defeated, though he thinks
the Miracle isn’t aware of that.
Askin thinks to himself that Lille
was the first Quincy to be given a Schrift, Gerard and Pernidas already
possessing powers before being given the Schrift as a sign of authority moreso
than actual additional power.
Rumors swirled that Pernidas was the
Soul King’s Left Hand, while Gerard was his Heart.
As he finishes this explanation, we
see that even Ichigo has fallen to the Death Dealing’s power, though he’s
likely not dead.
Orihime and Chad appear, but as they
attack, we find that Askin set a trap called Gift Bad, a pool that lowers their
resistance to the reishi in the area, rendering them nearly immobile because of
how dense its composition is in the Soul Palace.
Yoruichi comments that with his
opponent unable to move, he should just kill them, Askin retorting that such an
attitude is like Bambietta, who’s all brutality and no subtlety.
The former Special Ops captain
unleashes a new Shunkou, saying that she doesn’t care about his demand for
subtle and elegant death through his powers. Askin notes that while she and
Bambietta are beautiful, it doesn’t matter if they don’t have the right
presentation.
He fires arrows at her, but Yoruichi
throws one back as she unleashes her Shunkou’s new power, Raijin Senkei,
Thunder God’s War Form. She says they have to finish this quickly, the chapter
ending as she throws the blast of lightning at the Death Dealing, likely not
killing him, though.
One Piece 810
The fight continued for 5 days and
nights, Zou seemingly gaining an advantage over the Drought of Kaidou’s crew
with their numbers and cycling out shifts. But only Jack was indomitable, the
other crew members that seemed to constantly replace those defeated just a
bonus compared to the captain’s strength and vitality.
It was on the 5th day that Jack used
the gas weapon, releasing it across the country with rapid speed. Afterwards,
the crew started to kill anyone in spite of already being aware that no one
knew where Raizou was. The stronger warriors were crucified and tortured, the
merciless and callous nature of Jack and his men demonstrated clearly.
On the 6th day, the crew left,
though the people of Zou weren’t aware until later that this was connected to
Luffy’s group defeating Doflamingo. Jack left to get Doflamingo back for
Kaidou’s sake, so the Straw Hats were seen as a savior to Zou for their
actions.
But Nami’s group also had great
fortune in arriving soon after. They met one of the Minks, fleeing from
Sheepshead’s assault. Brook stops him, the group retreating to find the rest of
Zou covered in the gas.
Before they retreat, Pedro of the
Three Musketeers pleads with them to help the wounded Dogupine (a translation
that fits with the Cat Viper one for Nekomamushi) and Catviper, saying they
must not be allowed to die, since they’re essential for the kingdom.
Toriko 352
Qualification about Don Slime’s
revival I neglected to realize: Don Slime, being able to split himself off
seemingly infinitely, turned himself into various things in Giant Shell,
meaning that the body which was sealed in the Spirit World wasn’t even the
majority of his body. What coalesced into the body that Asarudy provided as the
host is the main body according to Viz’s translation
Komatsu thanks Blue Grill for the
experience he’s gained by being here longer than he’s been alive since he was
born, but the citizens of the Giant Shell city thank him as well, since
preparing ANOTHER allowed everyone to regain their lost memories.
Chako’s grandfather remembers who he
was, actually the old man that was hanging out in the slums that Komatsu met
when Chako was captured. Chako’s mother also reveals herself to her son,
thankful to meet him after what feels like hundreds or thousands of years in
the Spirit World.
Without the Spirit Gates, no one can
be revived, but Maymay notes that they should live the lives they have now to
the fullest, since they were stagnating with how much experience they were
getting without any real effort on their part. Kakino Kish even thinks she
might want to fall in love, hinting that she’s gained some infatuation with
Melk the 2nd.
Komatsu tells Chako that he’ll be
willing to cook for him whenever, the kid asking for the chef’s autograph as
they move to leave. As they depart, we see Stardust Rivers, the other ANOTHERs
sending them off, Komatsu thanking the ingredients and the city yet again.
Don Slime is eating what seem to be
mountains of fresh ingredients, Komatsu and Jiji talking about how it’s been so
long since he’s been revived, so his appetite needs to be satisfied. But once
Asarudy’s cells run out of energy, Don Slime will disappear again. Komatsu
wonders if Don Slime could just make a copy of his body and revive into that
but Jiji says it’s similar to Nitro’s bodies with how they work.
Gourmet Cells from a Gourmet Cell
Demon or Nitro cannot coexist in the same body, since they’re very selfish in
nature, so a copy of Don Slime’s body cannot house his cells, since they would
destroy each other. There are rare instances, like Toriko, where 2 Gourmet Cell
Demons can live in the same Gourmet Cell, but usually it’s one per body.
The reason why Asarudy was a good
fit for Don Slime is partly because Don Slime was previously Asarudy’s Gourmet
Cell Demon. He’s also in everyone else’s cells to an extent. His main body was
in Ichiryuu’s cells, but after his death, he was in Limbo, his main body
reverting to a smaller form in Blue Grill.
From there, the goal of the
country’s project was no longer to revive Don Slime’s body, but Ichiryuu’s.
After Asarudy ate the Full Course, Don Slime used the energy from possessing
everyone else’s bodies and went into Asarudy’s body, fusing with his cells there
and reviving himself.
The only way this was possible was
due to Blue Grill being a sort of Back Channel in itself, doing such things
likely impossible on the surface.
Love explains that this is how their
souls were able to return to their original bodies. Lala, one of the 0th
Biotope members, stayed behind to figure out if Blue Grill could be used as a
ship, the Gourmet Eclipse only a week away now.
Don Slime reveals that Moon was
eaten by NEO in the Soul World, GOD’s appearance imminent as well.
Everyone’s bodies react, aging
rapidly from the time they experienced in the Soul World. Jiji says it will
balance out once some time has passed on the surface, since it was only about 3
weeks there relative to the Soul World’s decades of time.
Toriko is still trying to take in
all this explanation as we’re reminded of the fights going on: Don Slime versus
NEO, Jirou versus the Blue Nitro and Midora versus Joa, the chapter ending on
the last fight, Midora saying that Joa can’t save himself anymore with the Life
orbs.
Fairy Tail 466
Zeref is approached by Invel, commanding him to
advance the army to Fairy Tail, in order to acquire their ultimate magic, Fairy
Heart. He also asks for a change of clothes, something befitting an emperor.
Meanwhile, Natsu and Happy are recovering, Natsu
still in disbelief at his being told he is END and that killing Zeref will mean
he ceases to exist as well. The two think there must be another way, not
wanting to part.
Dimaria and Wahru’s true form arrive in South Fiore,
thinking that it’s good they didn’t wipe the town off the map. Dimaria still
wants to see Brandish captured, not satisfied with just imagining it. Neinhart,
the 3rd Spriggan in their group, is still on the ship, unwilling to work with
the others.
Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale scope out the immense
number of troops at Hargeon, where Dimaria and Wahru also await, Kagura
encouraging them to fight for their country in spite of the overwhelming odds.
Meanwhile, in northern Fiore, Sabretooth is fighting
Alvareth’s armies. But Yukino sees people fleeing from Bradman, the Spriggan
known as the Grim Reaper, seemingly making people deathly ill, coughing up
blood and the like.
Eastern Fiore is protected by the 3 Wizard Saints
against Serena, August and a new Spriggan, Jacob. The 3 Wizard Saints cannot
forgive the traitor from their ranks in his destruction of his own homeland.
We see that Jacob is lauded as a master of
Assassination Magic, complimenting Jura on his hairstyle.
Back at Magnolia, Marin approaches Brandish, who
demands to be freed. But her servant turns on his mistress, starting to choke
her as the chapter ends with him saying that he won’t take her abuse anymore.
