Bleach has taken an unexpected break, but should be back next week. Magi’s delayed because of various reasons, so we might have it next week or we may have to wait again, since there isn’t another dedicated group for its scanlation.

Boku no Hero Academia 80

Tokoyami and Bakugou see Dark Shadow bearing down on them. But as Bakugou tells Todoroki to use his Fire and Ice power, Moonfish attacks the Quirk with his own teeth spears.

Dark Shadow is unimpressed and seemingly unaffected, slamming the Villain away, knocking him out of the fight.

The pair then weakens Dark Shadow, Tokoyami recovering from being overwhelmed by it. He notes that it was his emotions and rage at Shouji being hurt that caused Dark Shadow to go out of control.

Everyone thinks they need to get to the facility with the Pro Heroes, but they can’t take the path, since that would put them in harm’s way with the Villains fighting the Pussycats.

Instead, they elect to go through the forest to get to the building as directly as possible, keeping Bakugou safe, since they all know he’s being targeted by the squad. The Explosion Hero resists at first, but he’s pushed into it.

Meanwhile, Ochako and Asui’s fight with Himiko progresses, the Villain revealing that she needs more blood to activate what is either a Quirk connected to the machine she’s using or just a tool, meaning she’s not even a Quirk user, but more a tech fighter, like Mei was in the Sports Festival. The machine will suck out more blood than what she tried to get with a knife, seemingly using syringes.

Asui throws Uraraka away with her tongue, telling her they need to prioritize retreat now in spite of being authorized to fight.

Himiko pushes Asui, showing she’s capable in combat in spite of possibly being Quirkless, even mockingly calling her by a pet name to irritate her.

Uraraka decides to turn around, using the martial arts training she got from Gunhead to take down Himiko, pinning her after she tried to stab her with the knife.

Himiko comments that Uraraka’s just like her, that she loves someone and she idolizes them, wanting to be just like them. Himiko admires Stain in a similar, but more twisted, fashion as Uraraka does Deku.

In the distraction, she stabs Uraraka with her weapon, getting away.

Deku’s group meets up with Uraraka, but they find that Bakugou has been kidnapped by a mysterious Villain who resembles a magician, saying that the Explosion Hero will shine much brighter on their side. The chapter ends as Deku demands they release his friend.

Seven Deadly Sins 164

Elizabeth and Elaine are announced by Taizoo as the first winners of the tournament’s preliminaries.

The Marakia Assassin Knights are apologetic, though Elizabeth says they need to focus on resting.

However, the two losers are drawn into a hole made by Dolor, possibly dead from the fall.

Meanwhile, Ban and Meliodas’ match progresses, the Blue Demons they’re fighting going into the air with their wings. The two Sins bicker, Ban’s hand ripped off by one of the Demons, quickly regenerating. The other Demon attacks Meliodas, though he’s so tough, the Demon’s leg is torn off by the force of their attack being negated.

The two continue to debate about their interests in Elizabeth and Elaine’s “assets”, Ban punching at Meliodas, his fist connecting with the Blue Demon as it gets in Meliodas’ range and severely wounding it.

Ban insists that Elaine is better than Elizabeth in some senses, though the debate is a bit unclear as to what they’re even fighting over, besides just whether copping a feel or cuddling is better.

Meliodas kicks Ban into the other Blue Demon as the Sin of Greed thinks Meliodas’ mind is too simple to appreciate such things like just being intimate without lewdness.

The two opponents seem to be defeated, Elaine and Elizabeth wondering what their lovers are even fighting about.

Meliodas and Ban continue to press their points, apparently just debating about who’s better, Elizabeth or Elaine. Ban thinks it was lucky those 2 didn’t get set up against the Blue Demons, with their high speed, but still says Elaine was the best partner for Elizabeth, guarding the Fairy King Forest for 700 years.

But Meliodas notes that Elizabeth apparently converted the entire Demon army, though he doesn’t specify when it happened, leaving it vague for now.

Taizoo announces the pair’s victory as we shift to Gloxinia and Dolor, who note that Meliodas’ strength is truly as they’ve heard.

The chapter ends as we move to Diane and King’s fight, the Sin of Sloth’s nose bleeding at the situation he’s in, squeezed between Diane’s cleavage as she does the majority of the fighting.

World Trigger 133

Tachikawa and Konami confirm their strategy: focus on stopping Gatlin from using his cannon and, if they have the opportunity, do something else, which Tachikawa simply calls the “schwoop” thing. Konami worries that they might be too rash here, but Tachikawa notes that Jin predicted they’d be safe to some degree.

Ratarikov communicates with Gatlin, noting how the teleport Triggers allow them to get the jump on the Neighbors and they agree they need to take out Kou as soon as possible.

Gatlin continues to melee with Konami and Tachikawa, Konami focusing on his cannon, which the Neighbor notices. But he’s also noticed where the teleport Triggers are, since they have high Trion readings, so their surprise attacks will be less effective.

As Kazama is fighting Ratarikov, the Neighbor is impressed at the #2 Border Attacker’s skills, but tries to attack Murakami as well, the #4 Attacker managing to block the assault, along with the Dogs he directs to strike.

Kazama resolves to make the Neighbor focus their attention on him, utilizing his Chameleon Trigger again.

Ratarikov, however, knows that he dealt some wounds on Kazama, the Trion smoke leaking from them enabling him to find his location and deal more serious damage to him. But it turns out it was just an arm as a distraction, Kazama slashing Ratarikov in half at the legs.

Gatlin commands his subordinate to try the last ditch effort attack, Despinis focused on Kou. Kazama slices off his arm to prevent further assaults, Kou still defending against it.

Tachikawa directs Konami to support Murakami while he holds off Gatlin as he’s trying to fire his cannon. Gatlin seems to want to just blast right through his opponent, Kou unable to provide support, since he can’t see the trajectory.

Kazama thinks that even if Kou could block it, Tachikawa will be blasted by the cannon anyway.

But they reveal that Konami was a feint, slashing through both Tachikawa and Gatlin to turn the battle in their favor by using him as a sacrifice to guarantee the hit.

The chapter ends as Reghindetz encounters Hyuse, recognizing his horns as identifying him from Aftokrator.

One Piece 818

Raizou and the others from Wano are mourning their inability to help their trusted allies and vow to do all they can to repay the debt they owe.

Catviper tells everyone that Robin’s finished deciphering the Poneglyph.

Nami notes that what Robin has told her is on the slab seems to be a guide to a point somewhere in the Grand Line.

Catviper and Dogstorm explain that the Poneglyph is revered as a Road Stone, Robin wondering if it’s meant to direct them to Raftel, where One Piece itself may be.

But Dogstorm further qualifies that there are 4 such stones and the point at which all 4 locations intersect is where Raftel is, a location which hasn’t been seen in hundreds of years.

Luffy plans to get Sanji and then focus on finding the Poneglyphs.

Catviper says he’s in luck, since there’s only 1 Poneglyph they don’t know the location of. The other 2 are in the possession of Big Mom and Kaido, so Luffy is further motivated to fight the Emperors than he was before, since defeating them and taking back the Poneglyphs they possess will get him that much closer to One Piece.

But Catviper then says they don’t need to get the stones themselves, since there are copies that have been made that are likely in the possession of the pirates in question. Taking them would allow them to not need to heft around giant stones

Robin’s safety is prime in Catviper’s mind, since she’s one of the only people who can decipher the Poneglyphs and once they start getting the knowledge of the Void Century, people will start to pursue her even more doggedly.

The Straw Hats and allies wonder how the Minks know so much about the Poneglyphs, Catviper saying that it was because of the abilities of their allies in the Kouzuki clan. They’re known as stone masons with exceptional talent, their ancestors the ones who created the Poneglyphs themselves.

.

But it’s graver than that, since the secrets of reading the Poneglyphs, which were to be passed down to Momonosuke by his father, were lost when Oden was executed by the shogun of Wano. And now Kaidou’s pirate crew is occupying the kingdom, Kinemon’s group in danger because they likely know the same secrets that Oden confided in them, since he, along with Gol D. Roger, are the only people that have gone to Raftel and returned.

The chapter concludes with this massive revelation, bringing together the importance of the Void Century with Luffy’s goal of becoming Pirate King even more.

Toriko 361

The first dish the group eats is ANOTHER, Toriko taking his portion. Everything around him looks like delicious food, his Gourmet Demon’s tongue lashing out and snatching rocks from the air to consume.

The others have a similar experience, Starjun seemingly viewing a Gourmet Cell memory with him and Toriko in the womb, which confuses him. All of them note how it’s different from PAIR, which let them see the Back Channel, since these are the Gourmet Cells’ memories.

Jiji explains how each of the Four Heavenly King’s inner Gourmet Cell Demons were fearsome threats in the universe, able to dominate entire planets with their power or destroy them outright.

The group finishes off the other parts of Acacia’s Full Course, Komatsu stopping Toriko as he brings up the Golden Can they found in Area 2. Toriko smells it, thinking that whatever’s inside, he’ll add it to his Full Course

They couldn’t open it before, but after Melk made a can opener when they were preparing the Golden Cookware, they now have the opportunity to open it.

The chapter ends as he prepares to open it, Jiji thinking it’s something he didn’t expect to be sealed away.

Fairy Tail 475

Wendy and company are shocked at Ultear’s appearance, Dimaria wondering if she was the one who resumed time. But Ultear says time is still frozen, since she can only exist in these valleys of time, rather than the proper flow of time, where she is presumably gone from.

Dimaria is enraged at Ultear interfering with her world. Ultear further explains that this battle would’ve been over had she been the only one able to move, since that explains how she’s able to do so much in such a brief instant in previous battles.

Ultear’s Arc of Time magic allows her to, in this world, manipulate the flow of time for Wendy and the others. But she can only last for so long, since she’s a concept, a thought form, unaffected by Dimaria’s attacks, but unable to directly assist in the fight, only providing basic support.

Wendy and Sherria fight the Sword Mage, but Dimaria unleashes a new ability, knocking them away and a burst of power blasts even Ultear back slightly.

It turns out Dimaria can use Take Over Magic as well and has invoked God Soul, specifically that of the god Chronos, who controls time, Ultear in disbelief at this kind of power being used.

Chronos explains that Dimaria is the descendant of the people from a civilization who worshipped her and that is how she achieved such a connection to the divinity.

Sherria thinks with her God Slaying Magic, she’ll have a good chance of evening the odds, but Dimaria targets Wendy, Charle pushing her out of the way and taking the blast. Her Future Sight allowed her to see it, but couldn’t move fast enough to not take damage herself.

Thankfully, Ultear stopped Charle’s time in the Time Valley, but it’ll only last so long before she’ll truly die when time resumes for her. In the time they have left, they need to defeat Dimaria and then heal Charle, but time is short, since Ultear’s thoughtform is slowly cracking, her influence waning.

Ultear is impressed as Wendy and Sherria are prepared to fight such an opponent, offering a way for them to have a chance, since she thinks Dimaria’s power of Chronos is too much.

But there is also a great sacrifice to be made for gaining such power as they might have in the future, since they will lose their ability to gain magic, the double edged sword of Third Origin, the chapter ending on this revelation.
