2 weeks of manga to start out 2016
Boku no Hero Academia 73
Himiko is complaining about what
look like gas masks of some sort not being cute, but another Villain tells her
it’s more important that they work. Dabi shuts them up, telling them to wait
until the time appointed for their attack.
There are supposed to be 10 total, 3
more Villains appearing behind them to get ready, bringing the # to 6 or 7. The
plan is to show how chaotic things will become for the young Heroes.
We shift to the next day after
everyone’s rested: the remedial group having less sleep and tougher lessons.
Aizawa emphasizes what they all need to improve upon in terms of individual
Quirks.
He tells them to remember what
they’re working for and why they sought to be Heroes, using that as their motivation
to get through these trials, even Uraraka and Aoyama reminded that they just
barely passed the mark.
Deku asks if the other teachers will
come, Aizawa reminding him that they had to act in secrecy and use the bare
minimum of faculty to keep the Villains out of the loop in terms of where the
students were, All Might in particular a major target.
Pixie Bob tells everyone to remember
that after all this hard work, that there will be a test of courage involving
both classes, so they can see that as a reward. Class B is especially
interested with the rivalry they still somewhat have with Class A.
As everyone is preparing their
meals, Shouto asks Deku about why he wanted to know if All Might was coming. He
responds that he needed some advice regarding what to do about Kouta’s hatred
of the Quirk society. Todoroki suggests they back up their words with actions
to show that Heroes aren’t just in it for recognition and fame, but to help
people.
Deku remembers how he inspired All
Might back when he still didn’t have a Quirk, his courage something that
reminded the #1 Hero what is a primary trait of all Heroes.
Todoroki thinks that Deku might just
be able to help Kouta, since he’s thoughtful and yet impulsive in his need to
help others, like he did with Todoroki in the tournament at the sports
festival.
Ashido and the other remedial
students are disappointed to hear that Aizawa wants to give them more lessons
while the others go through the test of courage that night.
The plan is for Class B to try
scaring Class A as they send out pairs every 3 minutes. The class that manages
to scare more people is considered the “winner”, though the main goal is to
help them with more creative uses of their Quirks.
It turns out one person will be
alone in the test of courage, since 5 people were sent to remedial lessons.
Uraraka and Tsuyu are #5 of the
pairs, Class B doing well with their Quirks. But suddenly, a smoke that was
slowly billowing in starts to affect the students, knocking one out.
The gas is discerned to be a poison
by Kendou as she tries to protect one of her classmates with a Quirk that seems
to allow her to grow parts of her body to larger size.
We see Himiko slowly stalking
Uraraka’s group, while the groups that haven’t left stumble upon Pixiebob having
been attacked by 2 of the other Villains.
The chapter ends as we see that
Kouta is in danger of being attacked as well by one of the remaining Villains
in the strike team.
Seven Deadly Sins 155
Diane and Matrona are continuing
their trek to Vaizel, Matrona telling her student that she could still turn
back, but the Sin of Envy insists that she wants to help her mentor.
They’re nearing the city, but as
they cross the hill that shows a view of it, Matrona is shocked to see a giant
maze, the boulder Diane having thrown a few months ago still there at the
center.
Matrona says they won’t go through
the maze, trying to destroy the walls one by one. But the magic of the giant
who made it quickly repairs it.
As they enter, Diane thinks they
should just try to jump on the tops of the wall, but walls appear, blocking her
progress, even sealing the entrance behind them.
After going through the maze a bit,
they stop, both of them seeing illusions: Matrona of Zoru and Dera and Diane of
meat. The two are separated as we find that this is Dolor and the unnamed
tentacle Ten Commandment’s plan: to weed out the participants in the
tournament.
Diane wakes up to see Hawk, thinking
it’s just a pig that she can eat. But once he talks, she pauses, not caring as
she tries to eat it.
However, we see Elizabeth, who stops
Diane, the giantess confused at a human girl being in the labyrinth as the
chapter ends.
World Trigger 126
Hyuse notices the intense battle
happening, wondering if it’s Galopoula or Rhodokhroun, thinking he needs to
make contact with them.
Yoneya and Miwa’s fight against
Koskero continues, the Neighbor doing fairly well against the two. He even
manages to put a mysterious dark substance over Yoneya’s spear, rendering it
unable to damage the Idras Trion Soldiers as they come to support him.
Miwa utilizes his Lead Bullet to
disable the Idras so Yoneya can use his spear, resetting the blade so he can
cut with it again.
Koskero tries to block with the same
substance he put on Yoneya’s spear, but the blade goes through it, slicing off
his leg in the process.
The Neighbor tells Yomi, the support
specialist, to alter the Idras so that they can resist the Lead Bullets, since
they go right through the Idras’ Shields.
Reghi, the other Neighbor soldier tasked
with distracting agents from the attackers inside HQ, is having similar
difficulty, having to face Ninomiya and Kako’s squads.
Meanwhile, Wen’s fight with Rei and
Kumagai is balanced. The Neighbor is doing surprisingly well against the two
opponents, already assessing their strength. She uses one of the many needles
she has in a pack on her back to release a smokescreen. This surprises Rei,
since she’d only been using them before to summon the Dog Trion Soldiers.
Rei thinks Kumagai is behind her,
but it turns out to be an illusion generated by Wen, who attacks the agent in
the distraction, taking out her arm.
Shinoda wonders what the Neighbors’
plan is once they destroy the ship, since they don’t seem to have a solid
escape plan even with their Tunnel Triggers.
Gattlin and Ratarykov are near the
away ship, on guard because of the possibility that HQ has become aware of
their plan.
A team composed of Konami,
Tachikawa, Murakami and Kazama await the Neighbors’ assault, Konami warning
Tachikawa not to be arrogant, since Jin told her that he might get killed in
this attack.
Meanwhile, Jin is debating what to
do, stunned as we see that Yotaro is running with Raijinmaru to some location,
the ace not expecting this development.
Magi 289-290
Alibaba is greeted with hostility by
Kougyoku’s guards, thinking he couldn’t possibly have an audience with her.
As a soldier moves to eject him,
Alibaba quickly dodges and knocks him down, the others finding their assault
equally futile in landing even a single blow.
Amon’s King Vessel notes that he’s
seen this fighting style before with Hakuryuu, his vision not unlike Solomon’s
when he could see the fabric of space and time.
We flash back to Alibaba discussing
this ability with Yunan, saying that it’s like the world is slowed down. The
Magi thinks it must be something like one’s life flashing before your eyes when
you’re about to die.
The explanation for this is based on
Alibaba’s experience of near death, which felt like a century, but was closer
to a few days in reality.
The Dungeon Creature Corps, people
altered by experiments involving the monsters from the dungeons, assault
Alibaba as the soldiers pull back.
Yunan further notes that with his
consciousness having to control a body that was like a puppet, it sharpened his
senses and his connection to life and death to a point where his experience is
much more practiced, as if he fought in countless battles, making any moment
able to be reduced to near motionlessness.
Alibaba easily defeats the towering
beast man before him, arriving at Kougyoku’s throne room as the chapter
concludes
The next chapter begins with
Kougyoku stopping the soldiers as they start to restrain Alibaba, noting that
he is an old friend.
The two are alone, the empress
having sent away everyone for privacy. Alibaba thinks she’s gotten much more
mature from 3 years ago, much more innocent back then.
After the two discuss Alibaba’s
travels, he asks about Hakuryuu, Aladdin and Morgiana, Kougyoku not knowing
where they are.
He’s also concerned about the state
of Rakushou, Kougyoku saying that she remembered when it was better in her
childhood.
She feels hopeless, Alibaba’s
encouragement not helping as she notes how she tried to change the laws to
improve things. She resents Sinbad for using her, creating chaos in the civil
war and hurting those she loved.
Alibaba, aware of Sinbad’s control
over her in the past, feels like he should’ve done something as he reveals his
knowledge of Sinbad using Zepar on her. But the empress says she understands
why he kept it a secret from her, thanking him for being considerate of her
state in the Kou Empire and what it would’ve done to reveal her being a sleeper
agent.
But she also notes that the Kou
Empire is very likely to be absorbed into the International Alliance, since
they cannot pay back the loans they’ve gotten to try to improve Kou’s economy.
Ka Koubun and other assistants to
Kougyoku come in, revealing they’ve developed a better version of the law from
a few weeks ago, trying their hardest to improve things in the limited time
they have.
Kougyoku still thinks it’s hopeless
to try, but Alibaba encourages her, the chapter ending as he says there’s still
something they can use in Kou to stimulate its economy.
Bleach 657
We resume on Yoruichi’s attack on
Askin, Orihime nearly caught in the crossfire, but saved from further injury by
the Queen of Flash. She tells Orihime to heal Ichigo and Chad and go ahead of
her, the Soul Reaper focusing on finishing off the Death Dealing.
Suddenly, Yuushirou, Yoruichi’s
younger brother, tries to hug his sister, being dodged and pushed away. He
tells her that even though she said he should stay with Kisuke, he felt that
his skills were better used to defend her, even though Yoruichi seems to think
he’s still too weak in spite of getting stronger over the years. Her sarcastic
remark flies over his head as he thinks she actually praised him.
Askin comes out of the smoke, not
wanting to interrupt their reunion, which is said to not be as emotional as he
thinks. Ichigo manages to recover, telling Yoruichi to be careful.
As the group gets away, the Quincy
is worried Juhabach will scold him, but Yoruichi tells him they won’t give him
the chance. Askin casually mispronounces the Thunder God technique, Yuushirou
attacking him in anger, partially for his sister’s honor and also because he’s
mistaken for a girl.
Yuushirou’s attacks astound Askin,
thinking there’s no way he could be this strong. But it turns out Yoruichi’s
younger brother has taken over as the 23rd head of the clan, unleashing an
explosive Shunkou attack
Yoruichi compliments her brother for
improving the technique in spite of her teaching it to him recently.
The chapter concludes as Askin
thanks them for giving him so much reiatsu in their attacks, allowing his
Schrift power to activate, rendering their reiatsu useless against him.
One Piece 811
Caesar gloats for a bit at the power
of the gas he made, called Koro (derived from the verb korosu, to kill),
Chopper chastising him to fix it with his Logia powers. The Gas Gas scientist
says that the Mink are notorious, suggesting they let them die.
But after the Rainruption, Sanji
hears Nami’s cry, telling Caesar to fix things or he crushes the heart Law
separated from him before.
We see the scene from awhile ago of
Sanji beating Sheepshead, Caesar meanwhile fixing the Koro gas with the Roko
gas.
As the dangerous biological weapon
recedes, Sanji tells Nami there are likely more hiding out, also voicing his
concerns that Caesar may be right that the Mink aren’t to be trusted.
Suddenly, Wanda attacks, Nami
managing to hold her off and even pin the Musketeer. But Sanji points out that
she has a bomb, the Mink thinking they’re Jack’s allies. She’s stopped by
Tristan, the squirrel Mink nurse, Pedro also showing her that they’re not bad
people, especially since the gas that threatened their kingdom disappeared when
they arrived.
Chopper alerts everyone that he
needs to give out antidotes within 2 days or they’ll be permanently damaged by
the gas’ toxins. Wanda cries tears of gratitude as the Straw Hats vow to save
her people. They do so, Wanda emphasizing how much of a debt they owe to the
pirate crew, which they wish to repay some day.
Jack’s obituary comes up again,
Wanda saying it’s unlikely he died with how much strength he showed in the 5
day battle before.
Chopper wants to check up on Cat
Viper and the others, Wanda revealing she’s not bound purely to the Night or
Day kingdom, able to move freely because she’s what’s translated here as
Ruler’s Bird (King’s Bird in Viz), along with Carrot.
As the group heads out, Zolo notes
that Caesar and Sanji are still unaccounted for in the flashback, Wanda
replying that they didn’t want to worry everyone in the village, since they’re
still recovering from the trauma.
It turns out that as they were
escaping from Big Mam, their destination was leaked and one of her crewmates is
a native of Zou. The chapter ends as we see that member, Pekoms, who resembles
a lion man, telling his captain to leave it to him.
Toriko 353
We’re told that the world is looking
forward to GOD’s appearance at the end of the Gourmet Eclipse. Meanwhile, the
pieces of NEO aren’t doing well in their fights against the Eight Kings,
Heracles and Bambina devastating their opponents with ease, the Monkey King
even dancing around the Gourmet Demon shard’s attacks. Heracles’ breath attack appears in Area 6,
where Bambina is fighting NEO, having pierced through part of the earth.
Meanwhile, Deer King Sky Deer
finally attacks, creating an area of effect that rapidly ages the piece of NEO
in seconds. Mother Snake ate and is digesting the NEO portion that met its
gaze, revealing that it’s eaten ingredients that were in space due to how long
it is.
Emperor Crow released a ball of
light that was like the sun, allowing it to spread its shadow of death in
various directions, defeating the enemy NEO with the Emperor Shadow.
Toriko and Starjun are preparing to
fight Guiness, the Wolf King, since this is the main conflict, GOD likely to
appear in Area 2. But the piece of NEO we didn’t see before appears before the
pair, which the Wolf King was focused on instead of them.
The chapter ends as Komatsu’s group
prepares to use the Warp Road to reach each pair at the Areas before them,
reaching Zebra/Brunch, Sani/Livebearer and Coco/Tairan before finally getting
to Toriko/Starjun to finish this fight.
Fairy Tail 467
We see Lamia Scale and Mermaid Heel fighting against
Alvareth’s forces in Hargeon Port. Wahr Icht locks on with his Machina Magic
and unleashes a storm of missiles. Kagura manages to neutralize some of them
after they start to cut into their forces.
But Dimaria attacks the katana mage, the two
standing off as she emits immense magic power. Kagura’s clothes are suddenly
torn as if the sword slashed at them faster than her eye could perceive.
Brandish awakens in the medical office of Fairy
Tail, still restrained but her hands in front of her.
The Country Breaker remains stubborn and unwilling
to talk, still bewildered at her enemies saving her from Marin’s assault in her
cell. Lucy insists they don’t want anyone to die in this battle, even if
they’re on opposite sides.
Lucy thinks she’s not a bad person, this insistence
changing Brandish’s mind. Her restraints are removed, though the magic sealing
effect is maintained by the stones.
Brandish reveals her mother was one of Layla’s
servants. Layla gave the three Celestial Spirit keys she had to three different
servants, Layla’s mother, Grami, getting Aquarius. But Brandish claims that
Lucy’s mother killed Grami in order for Lucy to receive the key as a gift later
in life in spite of Grami trusting Layla with all her heart.
The Spriggan suddenly pins Lucy down, trying to
choke the life out of her, thinking this is the only way to get revenge.
The chapter ends as the water spilled from a vase
nearby summons Aquarius, who has returned to save Lucy.
