Magi’s delayed this week again, but it’s not unexpected, since it’s only scanlated by one major group to my knowledge

Boku no Hero Academia 69

Shigaraki is fuming at how Stain has been getting all the attention while he’s doing more to get recognized. Even people that don’t really follow his ideals, like Himiko and Dabi, are idolizing him. He thinks they’re both just destroying what they hate, so he can’t figure out what distinguishes them in the public eye.

The Villain tells Deku they should just act like they’re friends. His Quirk only activates if all five fingers touch something, so he’s holding one back to keep Deku in check.

Deku says that if he killed him, there’d be Heroes swarming the area. But Shigaraki retorts that in the time it’d take them to capture him, he could take out 30 people in this crowded area, women, children, anyone.

Shigaraki explains his frustrations to Deku, demanding to know why Stain is more popular than he is in spite of all he’s done.

While this conversation is going on, Ochako is thinking that she doesn’t have to complicate things and just hang out with Deku, not going along with Aoyama’s thought that she likes him.

Deku thinks that Stain is popular because, despite both he and Shigaraki both being evil, Stain has a purpose, a reason behind his actions. Both Deku and Stain admire All Might and his attitude of protecting people inspired both of them. They follow that in their worldview, Stain even saving Deku once.

The major difference in Deku’s opinion is that Stain is living by ideals, while Shigaraki seems to be doing things on a whim.

This revelation involving All Might sparks something in Shigaraki, thinking all this goes back to the #1 Hero. He thanks Deku for this, thinking to himself that he can use Stain’s hatred of All Might as a stepping stone to achieving his own goals.

Ochako notices Deku with Shigaraki restraining him, Deku trying to tell her to get away.

Shigaraki then acts normal again, leaving them, telling Deku that he shouldn’t follow him.

Deku tries to ask him about All For One’s goals, but Shigaraki says that he should worry about meeting him again instead, since he’ll die next time.

The chapter ends as Shigaraki gains a new resolve, saying that he’s had convictions, but never realized what they were: now he seeks to rid the world of All Might and cause such chaos to show people how weak justice is.

Seven Deadly Sins 152

Matrona is watching her adoptive children hunt, both deciding to go to the river and catch a fish. She wants to go with them, but her husband tells her that they’ll be fine, since the river is shallow and she should go get Diane, since he notices she hasn’t eaten anything since morning.

Diane is still practicing her dancing, not understanding how Matrona explained it, but nonetheless getting to the core of it in her own way, even causing a seed to sprout as she continues.

She panics as it seems like the earth has come up like a wave to crush her, but Matrona calls out for her, breaking the giantess out of her vision, which seems to have just been a feeling more than reality.

As they head back, they see another bird monster, having attacked the children.

Matrona rushes to punch it, but it dodges. She throws rocks into the air, piercing through it and then crushing it into a tiny boulder.

The children are recovering, Zarupa noting that the wounds are fairly severe and they may not pull through. Matrona decides to head to Vaizel (apparently the official spelling of what was originally rendered as Byzel), to enter the tournament, since the winner is promised any wish.

Zarupa and Diane both think it’s suspicious, but Matrona responds that this is her only option now.

Matrona prays to Dolor (previously rendered as Droll because of how confusing katakana in Japanese can be), the god of the giants as they head to Vaizel.

The unknown tentacle Ten Commandment senses the various powerful souls coming to Vaizel, but the giant demon observes how Merascylla and Galan have both been defeated/killed, the smaller demon impressed at who she calls Balor and his ability (likely connected to the Balor’s Eye we’ve seen previously).

He tells her not to call him by the humans’ title, the tentacle demon correcting herself and referring to him as Dolor, the chapter ending on this revelation of him as apparently the original giant.

World Trigger 123

Osamu leaves, thanking Kitora for her advice and assistance and resolving to develop strategies moreso with his team now.

Hikari, Arashiyama’s Operator, is happy that Osamu progressed somewhat, also commenting that Kitora is always especially strict on Mikumo. Kitora says that it’s because if you’re too kind with people, it can backfire on them.

Meanwhile, we find out part of the reason Kako tried to recruit Kuga: their squad only accepts talented people whose surname starts with the letter K. Yuma asks why they didn’t ask Kakizaki, but Kako says he’s not their type.

She emphasizes that being in their team will give him more of an advantage to get to the Neighborhood, but Yuma declines, Kako jokingly saying she’ll force him.

Kageura arrives, having arranged to fight with Yuma. But Osamu calls Yuma back, the Neighbor leaving the higher ranked agents for now, as has almost become a pattern (esp. with Yoneya).

Osamu is talking to Izumi about strategies, Izumi noting that he’ll be the commentator for the next round, so he hopes Osamu will give him a good showing of his skills.

Meanwhile, Katori squad’s leader complains about them getting defense duty on the day of their match. But she also thinks Tamakoma 2 and Kakizaki won’t be much of an issue, only irritated that her teammate, Miura, brings up Kako squad trying to recruit Kuga from Tamakoma 2 and not her, even though they both have “K” in their names.

Their operator, Hana, chastises them for griping about that and tells them to keep at their duties.

The Trion Soldier they destroyed has a new type inside it, a Dog, made for scouting. 

The Galopoula soldiers think that Meeden is decent, though they observe that Katori squad is somewhere in the middle of strength, Yoneya from Miwa squad noted to be stronger by comparison.

They can’t move much in their missions now, since they’ll be caught by the cameras, but they decide that their best moment to strike is during shift switches, the next one coming up at dusk. Their target is the expedition ship going to the Neighborhood.

Jin’s Side Effect activates, telling Shinoda they need to start their defense of HQ.

He also warns Konami that she should keep an eye on Tachikawa, since he sees a future where he may die, commenting on how this new enemy might be more dangerous than they expected as the chapter ends.

World Trigger is on break next week

Bleach 654

Slight translation issue that makes more sense with Viz’s rendering: Nanao’s mother was talking about Shunsui’s brother fighting Hollows, not herself, with regards to the hairpins giving her courage. Nanao’s family was emphasized to be about rituals, so it doesn’t jive with them fighting Hollows like most Soul Reapers would.

As Lille Barro’s body falls apart, plummeting down to Seireitei, Nanao nearly collapses. Shunsui moves to head back to where the others are, but falls over, exhausted.

The rain of light from the Ex Axis pierces through the Shakonmaku, hitting various areas. Some spirits are damaged as Lille Barro starts to reconstitute himself, having lost his halo which gave him the majority of his powers, his form now twisted into something more grotesque.

He starts to rampage, saying that he’ll have to raze Soul Society to the ground to make recompense for him losing his holy powers.

 

Suddenly, he’s slashed by an unknown assailant, revealed to be Izuru, who Lille thought to be dead. The Quincy is pushed back, Kira confused at how he’s alive, though he seems to have been modified in some way, so the exact circumstances are still unknown. The remnants of the Ex Axis continue to amass as Kira moves to fight them.

The chapter ends as we see Gerard being challenged by Byakuya and Renji’s assault, saying that if he manages to beat them, it’d be a miracle, suggesting the nature of his power.

One Piece 809

Robin starts to piece together the flow of the gas weapon’s production: Caesar creating it, Doflamingo distributing it and Kaidou utilizing it in his conquests.

Duke Inuarashi takes an interest in Luffy’s straw hat, noticing it from his days when he met Shanks. Suddenly, he falls asleep, everyone confused. Wanda explains that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi have an awkward relationship, now more contentious than ever, though they used to be good friends.

It turns out the expression of “ruler of the day and night” was very literal, the two splitting their hours into those sections, even the people of the kingdom more diurnal, while the forest protectors are nocturnal.

We flashback to the invasion, Wanda revealed to be one of the Musketeer Squad under the main 3 that protect Inuarashi. He protects her from one of the Gifters’ attacks, Inuarashi appearing to confront Jack. 

He tells the pirate to search the island, but cease their destruction. But the Drought refuses, striking at Inuarashi, who manages to block the attack with little effort, shocking the Kaido Pirates.

Jack is revealed to have a bounty of 1 Billion Berry, Inuarashi retreating as they heard Nekomamushi arriving, prioritizing safety over numbers.

The ruler of the night appears, Jack’s attack turned against him as Nekomamushi shoulder tosses him on the ground.

He tells the pirate that there’s no way a warrior of Wano could be here, since he’d have already eaten him. 

The chapter ends as Jack stands up, seemingly ready to counterattack.

One Piece is on break next week

Toriko 350

Correction on Toriko from last week: the food that goes into Whale King Moon’s stomach doesn’t become Food Spirits, but Spirit/Soul Ingredients that the Food Spirits wish to consume

Komatsu realizes something as he’s preparing the food, the other chefs stunned as he takes on so many Food Spirits. Without ANOTHER, the food’s flavor is lacking, so he needs to prepare it first.

The fact that ANOTHER appears before Don Slime isn’t the amazing part, but that it’s a full grown ANOTHER. They explain that ANOTHER’s original body is somewhere else, but various pieces came off, one eventually maturing. Kaka thinks it appeared because it wanted to be prepared by Komatsu.

Komatsu thanks Kaka for her help in telling him how to prepare PAIR, wondering if she’s okay after being attacked before. She says she’s essentially fine no matter how many times he attacks her in the Spirit World.

The chefs come to the Spirit Kitchen, Don Slime leaving to find Ichiryuu’s soul while the others are told how long it will take to scale and gut the fish that surpassed the speed of light, 150,000 years just for that process.

Komatsu says that he can prepare it a different way, likely speaking to ANOTHER directly as he manages to speed up the cooking so that they just have to wait around 15 years for the stewing of ANOTHER.

He asks about why Asarudy and the others wear their masks, the 10 Shell 5 saying that they’ve long forgotten their original faces, wearing the masks for consistency.

Komatsu thinks that the true nature of ANOTHER isn’t unlocking new flavors, but recollecting ones already remembered from ages ago by the Gourmet Cells. The others think that’d be nice if it were true as he proceeds to shave the cooking time down by massive amounts.

Even with all his effort, the amount of time they experienced was 65 years, the chapter ending on ANOTHER’s preparation finally complete.

Fairy Tail 464

Everyone from Alvareth is stunned, though Invel tells the soldiers that Zeref’s true identity is that of the Black Mage, not the Spriggan Emperor, already aware of it for some reason.

Natsu requests that everyone else get away, including Happy, who notices that Natsu is planning to use his trump card from the start as he’s unwrapping his right arm.

Zeref says that his side should keep a few kilometers of distance from him. Invel protests, but Zeref says this is something only he can do.

The two square off, Natsu saying they won’t hand over Mavis. But Zeref responds that this only came about because they couldn’t kill him, Natsu confused at that.

The Flame Dragon Slayer reveals his arm, a dragon tattoo on it as his magic power surges, Zeref in awe at it.

Natsu initiates the fight with a flaming punch, knocking Zeref back. The Black Mage fires a dark ball of energy, which Natsu negates with a burst of flames.

Zeref is in shock at Natsu being able to stop his magic, Natsu rushing at him with a powerful punch, noticeably hurting Zeref as he slams him even harder with a follow up blow.

He continues to pummel the Dark Mage, but Zeref quickly counterattacks, knocking the Dragon Slayer back.

Zeref’s impressed with Natsu’s strength, the Flame Dragon Slayer explaining that this power is something that he’s inherited from Igneel, which took 10 months of training to unlock. Once he uses the full power, it can’t be regenerated, unlike his other magic that was taught to him.

He initiates Blaze Dragon King Mode, Zeref hopeful that this magic might be able to kill him once and for all.

The chapter ends as he accepts his death, Natsu’s attack landing and seemingly incinerating him.
