Black Clover 61

We start with the 4 members defeated to the shock of the priest, as Yami suggests they bet on who will win

The mage Asta beat thinks his magic should’ve blocked Asta’s attack without realizing he uses an anti magic sword

The others move on, but in spite of Yami’s encouragement, the high priest says that the top 3 are considered upper tier Magic Knights.

Finral is still trying to escape, but the priest throws some magic to interfere with that, also confirming he can’t use his teleportation magic to get out of the temple, stuck until the game is over.

He manages to escape, Yami suggesting another monster for the priest to summon

Meanwhile, Charmy is eating various fish she found, using her Cotton magic to make servants to prepare it. She’s approached by another one of the mages, who uses Song Magic to knock her out, meaning that the Black Bulls won’t make a clean sweep, which creates tension in this competition.

Asta is blasting through the monsters, sensing someone nearby.

He meets Kiat, the grandson of the high priest, who wants to be a dancer, but can’t go into the kingdom to show his moves. 

The Temple Knight is fast, Asta narrowly dodging his attack. The two clash as we see Kiat’s face, meaning these are masks that they wear. They both want to fight to show their ideals, a fitting match.

We shift to the dolphin Temple Knight meeting Noelle, who’s panicking slightly.

They take off their mask, revealing themselves to be Kahono, who greets Noelle as the chapter ends.

Boku no Hero Academia 90

The clash between All Might and All For One sends a shockwave across the area. Both the #1 Hero and Villain comment on how they’ve gotten weaker over the years.

All Might tells All For One he won’t let him escape like he did 5 years ago, rushing to attack, But All For One releases a powerful attack that blasts All Might through the city

All For One explains that he combined an Air Push Quirk with other enhancements to make it stronger, but it’s still not enough to kill his rival.

He forces Black Mist’s Warp Quirk to activate, teleporting the group further, since he can’t do that with the Quirk he used before, limited in range and how he can teleport others. The warp is open as All Might and All For One clash again, Shigaraki’s teacher telling him to keep aiming for more power.

The Villain Alliance moves to escape while All Might’s occupied, Deku’s group contemplating how to help Bakugou.

The Explosion Hero is trying to fight off the Villain Alliance, who are attempting to capture him by force this time and barely holding them off.

All Might is dragged back by All For One when he tries to help, Deku concluding that in this situation, they still can’t really fight.

But suddenly, an idea strikes him, asking the others to help, so they don’t have to fight, but they can still act to save Bakugou once he’s gotten some distance between himself and the Villains.

Using Iida’s Engine Quirk’s full power and Deku’s Full Cowl, they burst through the wall with Kirishima’s Hardening Quirk as a buffer.

Then Todoroki uses his ice power to lift them into the air with the momentum on a ramp.

And only Kirishima can do the last part, calling out to someone he regards as a rival. Bakugou takes the opportunity, blasting himself into the air with his Quirk and grabbing on as the chapter ends on their escape. 

Seven Deadly Sins 174

Elizabeth’s group is still in shock at the Ten Commandments appearing before Meliodas, some recognizing Fraudrin/Dreyfus as one of them.

One of the assassins from Marakia explains that Hendricksen and Dreyfus were the ones to destroy their kingdom in the past.

Arthur notes that Galan is missing as Jericho explains that Escanor beat him. Ban is frustrated that Merascylla’s alive, but Elaine reminds him that it’s her ability to manipulate spirits of the dead that kept her alive, so her existence is proof that Merascylla’s power still works.

Elizabeth demands Gilfrost to teleport Meliodas back, but the mage says he’d have to teleport there himself and the Ten Commandments wouldn’t give him the opportunity.

Meliodas slashes at Zeldris, his brother tearing the arm off with the sword. But the Sin of Wrath kicks his brother away, using his demon powers to draw the arm back to him.

Zeldris stops it by stepping on it, calling for Graylord to initiate a spell, Cursed Chains of Enmity.

Meliodas gets away from Zeldris and manages to reattach him arm. He then turns around and punches the ground creating a smokescreen.

But even when it seems like he escapes, the spell Graylord cast on him brings him back to the location he was before

So his only option is to either defeat the Ten Commandments or be defeated by them.

Derriere attacks, Meliodas managing to counter for a while. But it seems that her attack power is increasing, Monspiet explaining it as Combo Star, allowing her to add more force to each successive attack if she doesn’t pause in her assault.

After landing 53 blows, Meliodas’ arms are heavily damaged, the 54th blow knocking him back.

Monspiet catches him and throws the demon knight into the air, saying he can’t use Full Counter without his arms.

But even after he launches his attack, Imprisoned Firebird, Meliodas flies out of it, Lostvayne in his mouth as he slashes the Commandment.

It seems like he almost decapitated him, just falling short as Derriere notes how lame Monspiet was to get attacked like that.

The chapter ends as Meliodas continues to fight in spite of his injuries, the fight not looking in his favor.

World Trigger 143

Kakizaki Bails Out after his Trion body reaches its limit, Yuma having blocked the major damage with a concentrated Shield. And in order to keep Trion from leaking out, he uses Scorpion to create a patch for the wound.

Tokieda and Izumi compliment both Kakizaki for changing strategies so quick and Yuma’s quick thinking to stop the Trion leak from getting worse.

Now Yuma has to decide whether to help Osamu or Chika and Teruya has to figure out her move now that her teammates have both Bailed Out.

Teruya thinks that Chika’s the easier target, Katori squad trying to figure out a way to take out Osamu before Yuma gets here, since they’re more dangerous together.

Since Teruya’s drawing Chika’s attention, the Operator tells Rokuro and Yuta to circle around behind Osamu while Yoko draws his attention.

Teruya is getting closer to Chika, but her sniping is more accurate by association.

Usami figures out Katori squad’s targeting Osamu, but Yoko tries to draw Osamu’s attention by asking why they’re trying so hard to get into the away squad. The rumor about their friends possibly being true doesn’t matter to her, since she thinks they’re naïve to conclude that hard work will get them there in spite of their big loss to Ninomiya.

Osamu responds that he’s doing this because it’s the right thing to do, which irritates Yoko.

Rokuro and Yuta try to attack, but Osamu distracts their attention with red wires, Rokuro tripping on one he didn’t see.

Osamu uses Raygust’s Thruster to pin him and fires Asteroid bullets at close range in a spot he can’t dodge away from.

Yuta is told to back up Yoko as Rokuro takes the hits.

Yuma comes in and attacks Yoko, the leader of Katori squad thinking she needs to take him out or Kakizaki will get the points when he Bails Out.

Her hesitation allows Yuma to slash off her arm.

Yuta goes to protect her, but Yuma dodges and keeps his attention, Osamu blasting him with Asteroid from a blind spot, both Rokuro and Yuta Bailing Out as Tamakoma 2 is in the lead with 4 points.

The chapter ends as Katori emphasizes how irritated she is, alone in her squad to take on Yuma and Osamu.

Magi 305

Sinbad and Aladdin’s conversation continues, the King of the Seven Seas noting how Aladdin never opened up to him even when he asked him to be his Magi years ago.

Aladdin says he doesn’t hate Sinbad, he just doesn’t’ agree with what he’s doing.

Sinbad retorts that any changes that they can accomplish in this world will fall apart once the king perishes. So his goal is to use Solomon’s Wisdom to enter the Sacred Palace and rewrite the principles of the Rukh to make the world perfect.

But Aladdin responds, saying it’s conveniently Sinbad who will change those principles to whatever he thinks is right for everyone.

Sinbad says that’s how it should be, since he’s the only one who can see the flow of destiny, meaning he is the arbiter of the world’s fate in his eyes.

The nature of destiny suggests that someone is in control: previously it was Ill Illah, then Solomon and now it’s free again.

Sinbad condemns Solomon’s irresponsible actions, leaving the world to chaos and suffering. He thinks that there must be a ruler or the world can never be as it ought to.

Aladdin notes how Sinbad’s made mistakes, Sinbad responding that they were necessary for things to come to this point.

But the Magi argues that he’s still imperfect, he makes mistakes, and he should accept them to improve himself rather than taking on the burden himself, alone.

But Sinbad refuses, Aladdin retreating as he rejects that worldview entirely.

Arba thinks they should just try to take Solomon’s Wisdom, but Aladdin has fled with Hakuryuu and Morgiana, explaining to them that Gyokuen is back in Hakuei’s body.

They’re attacked by Arba, Hakuryuu sending Morg and Aladdin away with Zagan’s powers, while he stays behind to confront Arba, hoping to finish her off for good as the chapter ends on their fight.

Bleach 674

Orihime goes to help Ichigo as Juhabach stands up, ready to fight seriously. Ichigo stands up and rushes forward again, narrowly dodging the Quincy King’s attacks.

Juhabach cautions Ichigo not to be so reckless, saying he should value his life that took so much effort on his part. He considers Ichigo’s power his own, Juhabach proceeding with the idea that he will take it back from his son.

We shift back to the fight with Gerard, Rukia and Renji narrowly saved by Byakuya, who tells them to go help Ichigo. He insinuates that Gerard is as strong as Juhabach is, but Rukia and Renji are confused. Byakuya notes that he doesn’t need them here, but Ichigo doesn’t require their help either.

The pair seems to understand what he means, trying to keep them safe from the more imminent foe and offer their support to Ichigo, someone they have close ties to.

They leave, Toushirou commenting on how Byakuya failed to deceive them, his concern for their safety obvious in spite of his harsh words. He also observes how Rukia and Renji would be better suited to help Ichigo, if only because of their bonds from the past.

Byakuya wonders if they’re fit to make such decisions as Soul Reapers, but Toushirou comments that Rukia and Renji would do it anyway.

Back at Jugram and Uryuu’s fight, Haschwalth explains how people’s lives are like a scale, balancing between right and wrong in their choices.

He wonders what Uryuu’s true form is, unsure with his recent decisions that bring his loyalty into question, wanting to help humans. Uryuu responds that he doesn’t know such a thing himself and won’t until he defeats all of Wandenreich, readying a new bow to fight.

The chapter ends as we see Ryuuken and Isshin appear in the Soul Palace, having used a portal to one of the Sun Gates that Souken, Ryuuken’s father, placed decades ago to escape from the Wandenreich when he was exiled.

One Piece 826

The Straw Hats aboard the Thousand Sunny think they’ve met Sanji by looking at the person at the head of the ship, but  it turns out he’s not, calling himself Yonji, a member of the Vinsmoke family that they speculate could be Sanji’s brother

He reacts similarly to Nami’s beauty as his brother does, but as Luffy’s poisoning gets worse, Chopper asks for an antidote. But Yonji refuses, saying they should try to steal it from him if they’re pirates.

As they move to leave, Yonji is stopped by another member of the Vinsmoke family who kicks him away, called Reiju, Yonji’s older sister.

We see that Yonji, in spite of being kicked off the ship, is floating in the air, Brook noting how Germa 66 was known for being technologically advanced, as well as a group of royals that once ruled all of North Blue.

Reiju confirms that they are indeed still royals and that they are considered a nation, even though they don’t have a country, allowed to participate in the Reverie.

She notices Luffy’s symptoms, commenting that she can help him, sucking out the poison with no ill effect to herself, since she’s the Poison Pink of Germa 66.

Luffy, awake now, asks about Reiju’s relation to Sanji, apparently his older sister as well.

She explains that Sanji left their family a while ago and they’ve been looking for him ever since. His initial bounty poster was actually of Duval (making me wonder if they’re related in some way) and then they found the picture from the Marine HQ later on, Sanji’s father authorizing the change in status from “dead or alive” to “only alive”

Luffy demands them to return Sanji, but Reiju and Yonji decide to not get involved, wanting to let the wedding go smoothly. They leave, the chapter ending on one of Jinbe’s allies communicating something to him about Luffy’s location.

Toriko 371

Acacia is astounded at GOD’s presence, but annoyed at what he perceives as flies, 4 tiny ones and 2 big ones, telling them to not get in his way.

Toriko calls out Acacia, the Gourmet God impressed at how well known he is. Coco notes how famous Acacia is in the Human World, having founded the Gourmet Era, regarded as one of the most famous people in history.

Joa starts to make a Back Channel, not wanting to waste time in front of GOD, Starjun stopping her.

Acacia observes how Toriko and Starjun are the 2 big flies he spoke of before, the major threats to his success.

Toriko observes with his scent knowledge that Acacia killed Jirou, Joa wondering if he could tell that he defeated Midora, but Toriko retorts that he didn’t win that fight.

Toriko asks why he killed Jirou, Acacia explaining himself.

He first killed and ate an ingredient when he was only 4 or 5 and from then on his appetite grew, consuming his every waking moment, making him wonder if he was really in control or if his appetite dominated his life.

Eventually, he had eaten every ingredient in the world and still felt empty. He was approached by NEO in his mind, telling him there were still new tastes to experience, Acacia continuing to run, still unsure of his true self and his destiny.

Acacia entrusted the food of the people and his fate to Ichiryuu before he left to meet the Blue Nitro. He comments that Jirou dying was just fate, GOD giving him a great destiny, even regarding himself as a god.

Toriko grabs him, saying that he can’t blame everything on his Gourmet Cells and appetite; that people have their own wills and they live by those, not by things that they’re born with in some innate physical sense that they can’t control at all.

Acacia thinks Toriko is arrogant to grab his collar, comparing it to grabbing at the universe. But Toriko responds that Acacia’s little more than an amateur chef, Acacia asking his name.

Coco tells him he’s Toriko and that his generation is over.

Acacia is frustrated, asking Joa what’s taking so long. The God Chef responds that he can’t affect them with his fungus, the group having some resistance to it.

Toriko’s confidence annoys Acacia, saying people like him taste awful and wondering why they can maintain such hope, like Jiji did just before he was eaten.

It turns out that Jiji did manage to communicate the general idea of preparing GOD to the Four Heavenly Kings in just a 1/10 of a second, perceived by their enhanced senses.

We see PAIR and some of the other Blue Nitro that survived waiting for CENTER to be brought to them, hoping to finish things soon by sealing Acacia/NEO.

Acacia is seething with anger, ready to turn their hope to despair. Coco asks Toriko to leave the fight to them, but Joa uses Tokage to summon what appears to be some of the manipulated chefs from before.

The chapter ends as GOD appears to be reacting in some way, but it’s unclear what it’s doing.

Fairy Tail 485

We see Natsu, Happy, Lucy and Brandish all heading to negotiate with August, the Spriggan explaining how August is the most reasonable, but he’s still devoted to Zeref

Natsu notices Mest/Doranbolt following them, the mage wondering why Natsu and the others trust Brandish. He thinks they’re being too soft, especially in removing her magic stone restraints.

The issue comes up of distance, Brandish deciding to use her magic to increase Happy’s size so he can fly them there.

Back at Fairy Tail’s basement, Cana is still unable to use her full power on Mavis, not willing to use so much strength on a friend.

Mavis observes how Cana somewhat resembles Zera, though their personalities were different enough that they would’ve grown up to be different people entirely, Zera having died young. She encourages Cana to do this not to hurt her, but to save her friends.

Back with Gajeel’s group, the fight is overwhelming, the Iron Dragon Slayer using a powerful attack to somewhat clear the battlefield.

Sting and Rogue are still recovering, Yukino slapping Sting as he beats himself up for his failure. She believes in him, Sting encouraged by this as he rallies the guild to fight again, Blue Pegasus also inspired by this rousing speech.

Eileen’s subordinates note how things have changed for their enemies, but she thinks that Bradman and Rakheid will handle things

Bradman’s magic starts to affect people on the battlefield as they retreat, but Gajeel throws countless steel pillars into the Spriggan, pinning him against a tree.

With this reminder of what he did to Levy and her friends 7 years ago, Gajeel says he’ll make Bradman pay for this.
