Boku no Hero Academia 79

Shouji explains that he and Tokoyami heard the warning, but were attacked by Moonfish’s teeth blades, the Tentacle Hero taking a slight hit to one of his duplicate arms to save Tokoyami from severe damage

But Dark Shadow has gone out of control, Tokoyami struggling to wrestle it back into submission as it lashes out at anyone in the area.



Shouji thinks that if they move him back to a lighted area, Dark Shadow can be suppressed. But he also notes that Deku has 2 choices: he can stay with him and try to help Tokoyami or he can take an opening that Shouji can make for him and go to aid Bakugou.

Deku’s deliberating, possibly concluding that he has to help Bakugou even if Tokoyami is also in danger.

We shift back to the Gas Villain, noting that Tetsutetsu is okay, though the gunshot did break his mask, so now the Iron Body Hero has to hold his breath or he’s in more danger.

The Villain continues to attack Tetsutetsu, thinking he was a fool to haphazardly rush in to attack, since he’s supposed to be from a highly respected school. He comments the Hero won’t even be worth killing if he can’t pose a bigger threat.

He fires at Kendou, laughing at their attempt to trick him, since his Quirk allows him to control the gas that comes from him and apparently even sense movements through it, meaning their strategy of having Kendou attack from a blind spot wasn’t going to work.




The Gas Villain offers a mulligan, allowing them to try again, but Tetsutetsu rushes at him, shot at point blank again, possibly doing more damage, since his Iron Body Quirk is wearing off with bleeding visible by Kendou.

He further mocks the Heroes, thinking that they’ve been weakened by Yuuei treating them with privilege and his simplistic Hardening type Quirk making him simple minded in his tactics. Tetsutetsu is kicked in the gut, the gas affecting him as Kendou tries to attack again. But the Villain dodges, thinking Kendou can’t land a hit on him.

She uses her Quirk’s ability to increase the size of limbs and fans away the gas. With the cloud thinned, Tetsutetsu manages to attack him unawares as Kendou tells the Villain that using the gun just told them that he was never confident in close range combat. And she further emphasizes that Yuuei students never give up even when they’re in a pinch

Tetsutetsu smashes the Villain’s mask with a punch, knocking him out as well, the battle concluded as he collapses, having still held his breath through the conflict.

Meanwhile, Bakugou and Todoroki are still unable to get an edge against Moonfish, since he’s got more mobility with his Quirk.

But before they start to get reckless, Deku and Shouji appear, telling one of them to create some light, Tokoyami and Dark Shadow following them in their blind rage.

Moonfish is smashed and defeated in a single blow by Dark Shadow.




The chapter ends as we see that Deku told Shouji to use his Tentacle Quirk to make decoys and draw Tokoyami to where Bakugou and Todoroki were so they could negate his Quirk with light. Instead of choosing one person to save, Deku, in his heroic idealism, wants to save both.





Seven Deadly Sins 163

The rules of the tournament are explained: 1) use of any weapons, magic or even foul play is allowed, 2) to win, you must kill your opponent, render them helpless or knock them off the platform, 3) you can’t abandon or forfeit the battle.

Meliodas and Ban try to tell Gloxinia to take Elizabeth and Elaine out of the fight, but she responds that they became participants the second they entered the labyrinth.

Elizabeth and Elaine tell Meliodas and Ban that they’re fine and they should each focus on their own battle instead.

The assassins are mixed in whether they want to attack the women, but conclude they like it anyway.




Before Elizabeth is struck, Elaine blasts the 2 away with Zephyr’s Imperial Wrath, saying that it’s easy to defeat such trifles for her, the guardian of the Fairy King’s Forest.

Elizabeth is astounded at Elaine’s power, King’s sister equally in awe of how kind Elizabeth is, since Ban and Meliodas are very similar people.

Elaine wonders why they came, Elizabeth saying it was to stop the Ten Commandments as well as Meliodas’ whim, Elaine thinking Ban’s very much the same.

The Marakia Assassin Knights throw smoke bombs and attack Elizabeth with a snake whip, biting her shoulder. She collapses as the other Assassin Knight attacks Elaine from behind.


She dodges, in spite of him erasing his presence, saying she can still read his heart. The Fairy Guardian smashes them with an even stronger attack.




Elizabeth reveals herself, the assassins wondering how she survived the poison. The Druid Princess heals the other assassin, noting how Marakia and Liones used to be allies, but Liones devastated the kingdom, leaving them a shell of their former self.

Elaine wonders why she did this, Elizabeth commenting that she’s the princess of Liones and that forgiveness is something she should practice, especially if she wants to send the right message. The chapter ends on this, the battle at a standstill for now.







World Trigger 132

Kuruma and others are impressed at Tamakoma 1’s abilities with their custom Triggers, but Ninomiya reminds them that they’re going to be at a disadvantage once they deplete their Trion.

Ninomiya notices that Reghindetz is moving away, Yomi asking his comrade why he’s doing that, since he’s heading towards the city. They’re not allowed to attack it, but Reghindetz says that just appearing like they are will draw away some of their forces so they can strike at their weak points.

But Border’s squads see through the bluff, since Jin’s prediction noted the town is safe, and Fuyushima says they can use his teleporter if they are actually intending to attack.

Reghindetz is irritated that no one even paid him mind as the agents continue to mow down the Trion soldiers.

Back at the fight in Border HQ, Ratarikov finds out about the teleporter Triggers in the area, Kazama using one to nearly catch him off guard.

Gatlin tries to push back Konami, missing her as he tries to follow up and finish her off. Tachikawa prepares to attack with Senkuu Kogetsu again, but Gatlin throws a piece of the wall at them.

Kazama dodges, Ratarikov striking him with Despinis, concentrated into a stronger attack.



Meanwhile, with Gatlin in an opportune position to attack from various sides, Kou, Tachikawa and Konami all strike, but find that he’s created a shield with the arms, showing how tough the material is. They think they can’t take him head on, Gatlin thinking to himself about their strategic positions



Konami is the agile member, strong, but keeping him on his toes: Kou is the one defending the target, skilled with his blade as well. And Tachikawa is the one that maintains the flow between the group and has range with his attacks as well. Kazama, mistaken as the youngest in spite of being older than the other 3, is keeping Ratarikov occupied and uses the Camouflage Trigger, thinking the others might also use it.

With his arm cannon having fully charged, Gatlin plans what he’ll do with that shot.

Tachikawa thinks Gatlin can’t afford to delay this attack, since 2 of his soldiers have already been defeated above. He consults with Konami as to what they should do.

Meanwhile, Kazama is focusing on his opponent, thinking that if he can defeat the Neighbor, they’ll have a bigger advantage against Gatlin. He can’t afford to let Ratarikov distract Tachikawa’s group.

The chapter concludes as Gatlin resolves to take out one of the group to change things in his favor while Tachikawa and Konami have finished their discussion and are ready to counterattack.





Magi 295

We see Gyokuen/Hakuei talking to Sinbad, asking why he’s so irritated at Alibaba’s protests. The King of the Seven Seas says it’s mostly because Alibaba reminds him of his younger days when he was more idealistic instead of realizing the cold hard truth he sees now.

But he still says that he’ll never abandon outcasts like the Kou Empire, letting Alibaba do what he wants until it goes bankrupt.




Shifting back to Rakushou, Koumei is revealed as Alibaba’s new strategist, disguised as someone else, even though Kougyoku and some others know his true identity under the mask.

Koumei asks where the Magic Research Facility is, most of them confused. Ka Koubun remembers one mysterious department that Hakuryuu commanded them to continue funding for even after he left.



The facility is revealed to be underground, dug into the mountains nearby, so that even the International Alliance is not aware of its existence. Kouha’s followers are overjoyed to see his brother, promising to give him all the research they’ve done.

There’s been development of a long range clairvoyance magic device equal to that of the International Alliance, they’ve gotten better success with giving Dungeon Monster features and traits to people from 20% to 70%, and they’ve figured out ways to speed up or hold back assimilation by Household members with their Household Vessels.

They’ve also advanced the parallel theories of ki and the Eight Trigrams, connected to the Eight Aspects of Magic we learned about in Magnostadt.

One of the Trigrams is Heaven, which is apparently Life Magic based, since it allows them to stop decomposition and even somewhat revive the dead, which Alibaba sees as troubling, since they use their dead soldiers as a possible tool to invade other countries.

But they persist in thinking that it’s a way to continue their pursuit even after death, Alibaba moving on from that disturbing attitude of the Kou Empire.

Another talisman is Fire Magic based, allowing even someone who can’t use magic to activate the spells.

Alibaba asks why Koumei researched the dungeons, the strategist saying it was because he sensed danger from them. He even started the facility’s development before dungeons were known to the world, somewhat predicting such a possible danger from magic, not regarded highly in the Kou Empire.

Koumei’s foresight amazes Alibaba, since if he was older, they could’ve begun their research earlier than even Magnostadt and truly been the superpower of the world.



The chapter ends as we’re teased that Koumei’s researchers have apparently made strides in something that would help with transportation, likely something time-space Magic related, like Koumei’s Dantalion Djinn.





One Piece 817

Jack is checking the news, frustrated at the reports that he’s dead.

Meanwhile, Kinemon shows off a crest on his back confirming that he has the same alliance as Raizou, with the Kouzuki family (which might just be a varied reading of the kanji, I’m not sure, since technically the getsu kanji can be read as zuki as well in this context). Dogstorm and Catviper also have the emblems, but they continue to bicker, saying the other is just in the way.

Momonosuke stops them, saying that his father would be disappointed in them if they were fighting over such a reason.

The others are confused as Catviper and Dogstorm bow to Momonosuke, Kinemon revealing they lied. He and Momonosuke are not father and son, but he is merely the retainer to his father, Oden Kouzuki, the daimyo of the Wano Kingdom, making Momonosuke the heir.



Kinemon explains that they kept Momo’s identity a secret because of the danger it would pose if it were revealed. Luffy doesn’t really care, never one for respecting authority.

Momo goes to Nami, saying Luffy’s a bully, but Nami’s focusing on the possibility of his father having treasure she can steal.

Dogstorm and Catviper decide to call a truce for now, everyone happy that they’ve reconciled for now.

The group heads to meet Raizou, ascending the whale at the center of Whale Forest and finding a secret door.

Raizou is shown to be somewhat imprisoned, possibly for his own safety, since he seems very excitable. 



Robin notices a giant stone with the Kouzuki clan symbol on it, Catviper and Dogstorm revealing it’s another Poneglyph.

As she goes to read it, the others ask Raizou to show off his ninja skills. They eventually egg him on to do it, in spite of him saying that a true ninja is silent and honorable.

The chapter ends as he poses, Luffy, Chopper and Usopp especially impressed by his display of ninjutsu, including shurikens, a smoke bomb and cloning himself.







Bleach 664

Askin explains that in his Vollstandig, he can analyze all the changes in one’s reiatsu, even as fast as Yoruichi in Black Cat Warrior Princess form, within 1 second of taking the attack. To make this battle go faster, he tells Kisuke more about his final form.

The nature of his immunity is now such that, as long as the base reiatsu or “poison” substance he uses Death Dealing on is the same, it can adjust to any changes overall, rendering it an adaptive immunity that’s near impossible to defeat on its own.

He challenges Kisuke to reveal more tricks, thinking he has to have more means to counter him.

The area is surrounded in a Gift Bereich, a barrier that the Death Dealing says is impossible to get out of.

Kisuke questions Askin’s loyalty, thinking this attitude is a bit suspicious for someone who supposedly obeys Juhabach’s will.



Askin observes that Kisuke isn’t entirely wrong, since he’s very interested in Juhabach’s idea to remake the world after completely destroying it. He’s sticking with the Quincy King because of the potential he has and says that Kisuke is a similar kind of person in having seen so much of the world. He asks if Kisuke also wants to see what kind of world Juhabach will make if he succeeds.

But Kisuke attacks him, saying that neither he nor Mayuri would want to see such a world that someone else created, but make it themselves, since that’s the true goal of any scientist at their core.

Askin, seeing that they can’t agree, uses Gift Ring, throwing a ring with a sphere on it at Kisuke. It disappears, appearing in his eye and obliterating it. The nature of the attack is concentrating Death Dealing to a singular point so it can initiate instant death. 



Before he moves on to destroy the rest of Kisuke’s organs, the Soul Reaper initiates his Bankai: Kannon Biraki Benihime Aratame: Inquisition of the Crimson Princess of the Doors of Avalokitesvara.






Toriko 360

Komatsu’s group arrives at Area 2, Jiji explaining that it’s a continent with various environments and that it’ll be hard to find Toriko. But the chef thinks he knows where Toriko is, Sani wondering if it’s his Food Luck.

Meanwhile, Don Slime continues to fight NEO, seemingly throwing a meteorite on him, suggesting that natural disasters have a will of their own in some sense.



Starjun tells Toriko they need to chase after the Wolf King, but Toriko notices some new smell, very calm in the face of the imminent danger they’re in.



It’s Komatsu’s group coming out of the Back Channel, the combo tearfully reuniting after so long, especially for Komatsu, since it’s been decades, his mental age much more than Toriko’s now.

Toriko notices the smell more directly, which is actually the rest of Acacia’s Full Course, minus GOD and CENTER. The others haven’t eaten any of it yet, preparing to eat it here before the final conflict. Komatsu even invites Starjun to partake as well.

The group is ready to eat, the Back Channel allowing them to somewhat take their time.



Jiji notices the Gourmet Eclipse is nearing, the last ray of light disappearing, but still shining on the group as they’re eating Acacia’s Full Course, making the Golden Chef think that they’re like the last hope of the world now as the chapter concludes







Fairy Tail 474

We get a map explaining the situation of various battles across Magnolia.

Natsu is still recovering, Happy thinking there has to be another way to solve this besides killing Natsu to take out Zeref.

Meanwhile, Mavis asks Warren about the situation across the continent. He notes that the western forces are still at a standstill and the north will be okay once Gajeel’s squad gets there. The Eastern Squad has seemingly been defeated, but one of the Spriggan 12 is down, so there’s some strong fear of the threat from the forces that defeated the 4 Wizard Saints.

But they have some hope, since Erza’s group managed to take out one of the Spriggan 12 on their end as well. Makarov reminds them that with the eastern front broken through and with no backup plan or knowledge of when Zeref will move from the west, they need to consult Mavis.

She says she needs some time to think, having to decide how to face someone she regarded as a friend in the past.

Meanwhile, we see that Meredy has joined the fight alongside Gray, Juvia and Leon. 



Erza and Kagura have come up against 2 of the 4 Knights of Nineheart, imposing figures in their own right. But Erza and Kagura take them out easily.

As the other 2 knights appear, they’re defeated quickly by Jellal, also joining the fight as the leader of Crime Sorciere.



Back with Wendy and Sherria’s fight against Dimaria, we’re shown that the Sword Mage’s true magic is Age Seal, a magic that freezes time completely, making her far more dangerous than Rider of the Oracion Seis, on the same level as Ultear in the scale and intensity of her magic.

As she prepares to kill Wendy, we’re surprised to find they can move as well.



The chapter ends as Ultear reveals she is still alive in some sense, since with her power, she is also able to exist in Dimaria’s space and influence it, what she calls the Jail of Time.
