Boku no Hero Academia 76

Deku’s punch causes massive damage to the cliff and knocks Kouta back, almost pushing him off the cliff. He’s caught, Deku grabbing his shirt with his mouth, since both arms are now broken from the fight.

As they move to retreat, we see the Muscle Villain created a wall of fibers to protect himself, Deku losing hope that he could beat him at all.

Deku demands to know why he’s doing this, but the Villain says he’s just here to destroy and use his Quirk to its full power, revealing he’s been holding back since they met and replaces his eye with a black one to show he’s serious.

With Kouta on his back, Deku manages to leap away and dodge the first attack, but the follow up causes rubble to fall

 After they avoid the rocks, Deku stands up, resolving to fight in spite of his injuries. He tells Kouta to run while he holds the Villain off here.

Kouta tells him he shouldn’t have to do this, especially since he’s nearly rendered powerless now.

Deku rushes forward, punching with his broken arm, the attack doing next to nothing as the Muscle villain continues to pummel him into the ground. Deku persists, Kouta seeing how much pain he’s enduring just to keep him safe.

Kouta blasts him with water to distract the Villain, which gives Deku enough time to unlock even more power, going further than even All Might did a while back with 1000% power punches, pushing it up to 1000000%, smashing him with such force he’s knocked back and crashes into the mountain

The chapter ends as Kouta remembers what Mandalay told him about how his parents’ sacrifice shows the value of Heroes and that she’d do the same to keep him safe. Deku is screaming as Kouta’s mind has begun to shift towards Heroes.

Seven Deadly Sins 159

Arthur retches at the taste of the Earthcrawler Meliodas prepared, but the Sin of Wrath thinks he’s referring to his cooking in general, since Merlin probably told him at some point.

The King of Camelot thinks he owes Merlin a great debt and still feels he must repay her, Meliodas commenting she doesn’t really care about that sort of thing.

But before he can finish that thought, he senses something.

We shift to Elizabeth healing Hauser’s wounds with her power, the others amazed. Diane even thinks the power of the Druids the princess wields could help Matrona’s children.

Elizabeth also senses something, apparently her and Meliodas sharing some sort of bond that pierces even the magical barriers of the labyrinth. Arthur is curious at this, since he can’t sense anything, but the link between the two is strong enough that Meliodas trusts in it unwaveringly.

As they move to try to get around the wall, they smell something great, turning out to be Earthcrawler meat prepared by someone. They notice the scent and even taste it, discovering it’s fantastic.

The person who made it is, unsurprisingly, Ban, well known for his cooking prowess.

The rivals clash briefly, Meliodas demonstrating that his power from 10 years ago has truly returned, Ban remembering it well compared to when they met at the prison early in the manga, comparable in scale

After an arm wrestling match, which Ban wins quickly and easily, he explains that he came here because of Escanor’s errand of bringing wine to Vaizel.

Meliodas is more shocked when Ban says he’s with Elaine, but he also congratulates his friend for being reunited with his love.

Ban still thinks Meliodas is too casual and forgiving for what he tried to do when Hendricksen attacked Liones.

Meliodas wonders where the two are, thinking they have to go find them together. With the Sin of Greed and Wrath reconciled, the chapter ends as they head off into the labyrinth.

World Trigger 129

The agents outside HQ are barely managing to hold off the Idras, Ninomiya’s guidance keeping them ahead slightly. They’re commanded to get around their defenses with superior mobility, keeping them occupied with directed assaults and also targeting weaker areas to pierce through.

They think that the Idras aren’t as much of a threat as they could be because the enemy isn’t responding directly.

But a few isolated Idras start to use more precise tactics, targeting the agents in blind spots. But other agents defend them. Yomi tells Regindetz that he’ll distract them so they can break their formation.

Kako thinks she should help the stationary team, but Arashiyama says she needs to stay at the frontlines to maintain their advantage.

Futaba goes with Kitora to take out the faster Idras, while Sasamori is supported by Tsui to keep Suwa and Tsutsuji safe in the meantime.

Futaba and Kitora use combination tactics to overwhelm the Idras controlled by Yomi, but Amo notices the power of another Idras increases. HQ starts to speculate how they’re doing this, thinking it could be a Trigger or people controlling them.

Futaba goes after the next Idras, but Yomi has managed to perceive that her Idaten-High Speed Slash has a predetermined path, so he generates a sword in the area where she’ll be, the attack slightly wounding the agent.

We’re told that Yomi has a Side Effect of “Perfect Parallel Processing”, which explains how he can control 2 Idras with similar levels of power without dividing his attention.

Netsuki wonders if they should send out Shinoda, but he says their formation is tougher by comparison, so they just have to rely on the agents to properly carry out their tasks.

The chapter ends as we see the fight between Kumagai/Rei v. Wan as well as Yoneya/Miwa v. Koskero, seemingly the more important ones.

Bleach 661

Uryuu tells Ichigo and the others to leave while he holds off Jugram, but the other half of Juhabach reveals that the Sun Gates have been destroyed, having seen this coming with the Almighty power.

As Jugram moves to attack them, he comments that he should finish this before Juhabach awakens.

Uryuu pieces this together, telling Ichigo that this is their best chance to attack Juhabach, since he’s powerless in his slumber. The Quincy will hold off Jugram while they go to the highest area of the castle. He tells Ichigo he doesn't have to worry, since he doesn't want to let these be his last words to his friends.

In spite of them leaving, Jugram doesn’t pursue Ichigo’s group, Uryuu asking why. Jugram says that it’s because he knows they will be defeated.

Uryuu contends that they can change fate, even observing that Jugram seems to not fully grasp the powers the Almighty gives, since he was surprised in a way at Uryuu’s appearance. The two begin to clash as we shift to Ichigo’s group moving up the stairs.

Orihime confides in Ichigo that she’s relieved, since hearing it from Uryuu confirms her suspicions that he was never a traitor.

The group is attacked by giant statues, Chad blocking one before it strikes Ichigo. The resulting blast separates the two, Chad saying he can handle this.

Suddenly, Chad sees Ganju appear from under the floor, having followed them. He thinks these statues won’t stand against his techniques.

The pair notes how Ichigo is resolved to finish this and they just have to clear the way for when he returns, the chapter concluding on them standing off against the giant soldiers.

One Piece 815

Pekoms explains that Sanji’s family is the leader of Germa 66, an organization rumored to exist, but regarded by many as nothing more than an urban legend. 

Luffy says he doesn’t really care, just wanting to know if Sanji is coming back. He doesn’t even mind if his nakama gets married.

He demands Pekoms and Big Mam’s crew serve under him, reversing the relationship, but Pekoms says he shouldn’t take a Yonkou lightly.

The Mink notes that Sanji couldn’t refuse the invitation, because Big Mam would’ve killed someone he loved and sent their head to him as a reminder.

To conclude the discussion, Pekoms says that while the Straw Hats as a whole won’t have to join, the marriage will bind Sanji to Big Mam’s family, like the other crew members are by creating bonds of like nature.

Luffy rejects this notion, asking what the Big Mam pirate will do. Pekoms responds that once he heals, he’s going back to get revenge on Capone.

The Straw Cat captain says he’ll go with Pekoms, trying to sneak into the marriage party somehow.

As he leaves to get Chopper, Zoro stops him, telling his captain that he needs to leave Sanji alone.

Usopp, Chopper and Robin meet up with Luffy, Catviper also wanting to see the famous pirate, giving him a big hug in gratitude and exacerbating his wounds again.

Trafalgar’s crew arrives, Luffy brushing off the other members of the Heart Pirates, since they’re not really of importance to the alliance in his eyes.

After they explain the situation to Law, they consider the possibility that both Mam and Kaidou will find their location and target Zou again, destroying the society for good.

The threat is forgotten for the moment as the Mink and Straw Hats party late into the night.

Brook, Robin and Franky stand guard at the border of Zou to keep watch out for Kinemon and Kanjurou, since the presence of samurai, part of the reason for the country being attacked, would just complicate things more

The next morning, Kanjurou, Kinemon and their monkey companion, simply called Ete, arrive, the Straw Hats fallen asleep.

Ete rushes away to deliver a message as the chapter ends, the monkey clearly panicked at the situation.

Toriko 357

Jiji’s explanation starts by noting that the ancestors of the Nitro had prepared gourmet ingredients since ancient times, at least 5 billion years ago.

Even Earth falls under this cultivation, being given Gourmet Cells and waiting over aeons. The only difference is in how they introduced stress to increase the flavor. The Gourmet Eclipse was a way to reduce sunlight temporarily every few centuries to stimulate the Earth to become even more savory and delicious.

But other planets besides Earth had demons called Livestock that directly applied stress to the inhabitants, creating a flavor from their despair and shock of being eaten. Among those Livestock was NEO, who was regarded as a failure, weak and simple, seemingly unable to do the basic functions the others did.

He was left behind after they had finished work on a particular planet, not caring about his wellbeing, since he wasn’t any real benefit to the Blue Nitro.

We see the Gourmet Demon slowly begin to kill some ants, consuming them and sensing an overwhelming and intense flavor. He does the same to other monsters and confirmed something he had observed before: creatures have the best flavor when they die, likely connected to the dopamine they secreted to suppress the pain of dying.

This habit persisted, NEO growing stronger, destroying more and more planets over time, some easily as massive as Earth is now and having hundreds of millions of years put into cultivating them.

The chapter ends as we’re told that this was only the beginning of NEO’s growth and rise to become something unstoppable by even the Blue Nitro.

Fairy Tail 471

As Jacob moves to fight Acnologia, August tells him to stop, since the only person who could hope to defeat him would be Zeref if he acquired Fairy Heart. He says they must get to Fairy Tail and acquire Lumen Histoire to give to their master.

Meanwhile, Natsu is still unconscious, Lucy keeping watch over him. Freed has managed to recover enough to check on his fellow guild members, Evergreen, Bixlow and Ichiya are all still resting, but Laxus has gone with Erza and the others to Hargeon to assist the guilds there.

Erza’s group is preparing to rest for the night, nearly to Hargeon. Gray rejects Juvia’s two person sleeping bag. Charle reminds Erza that she needs to be rested the most, Wendy serving as her healer to get her to fighting condition.

Laxus left the group behind, sitting elsewhere. Gray approaches him, noticing that he’s still suffering from when he inhaled anti magic particles a year ago. The Lightning Dragon Slayer tells him to keep it secret from the others and that it’s only a temporary thing, saying he’ll recover in no time.

The others are sleeping as we shift to Gajeel’s group, most of them resting as well.

Levi talks to Gajeel, both them unable to sleep.  She thinks it’s because she’s scared, since she’s not as strong as the others. Gajeel tells her she’s “under arrest” for complaining as he creates a makeshift jail by summoning iron rods around her, Levi agreeing that she needs to be strong with her friends supporting her.

The next day, Mermaid Heel and Lamia Scale redouble their efforts to fight, Dimaria deciding she’ll target Sherria (which is apparently the official spelling now, rather than Chelia).

She rips the Sky God Slayer’s clothes off as before, but instead of just letting her suffer, she moves to kill the healer of the group.

Wendy appears suddenly, kicking the sword mage in the face to protect her friend.

The others move to support the two guilds that stood to protect Fairy Tail and the continent as a whole, thanking them for putting in this work for everyone’s sake. Gray and Juvia support Lyon, while Erza teams up with Kagura.

Icht is impressed, but is attacked from behind by Laxus, who wants to get revenge for the Thunder God Tribe being defeated by Wahru.

But Wahru says he doesn’t recognize them, grabbing one of Laxus’ arms and seemingly slicing it off at the elbow as the chapter ends
