There will be delays on Magi for the next 2 weeks, it seems, according to the scanlators, so we may get a double feature on the blog in the future to catch up.

Black Clover 63

We see Sekke in the aftermath of what’s implied to be Vett’s attack on Racque, having taken out about 50 mid to high level Magic Knights.

Back at the Water Temple, Luck and Magna are impressed at his strength, Luck even observing how his magic seems to be higher than even Yami’s.

The Temple Knight Vett defeated seems to still be able to move after the attack last time. He asks Vett what he’s doing here, the Beast Mage saying that he wants the Magic Stone as well, insisting that he’ll make everyone here feel despair before he leaves.

Vett’s subordinates move to attack elsewhere while the priest’s son thinks Vett’s underestimating him, saying he’s the strongest in the temple. Vett says they should prove it by exchanging blows with magic

The strongest Temple Knight uses his Neptune’s Hammer again, striking Vett with amazing force. But Vett reveals he was using Rhino Armor, making the attack pretty much ineffective on him.




Vett combines Cheetah Charge and Bear Claw to defeat Dio, the strongest of the Temple Knights and the priest’s son, astonishing them with how powerful he must be. Yami tells the priest to let him in, since things are getting serious now.



But the priest says his magic doesn’t allow them to enter or exist until the game is over. Yami moves to use his Shadow Magic to slash into the area, but finds that another spatial mage like Finral has created a separate dimension, trapping them inside and preventing his entry.



Vett says he’ll leave eventually and show Yami the despair of seeing his comrades dead.

Yami, through the priest’s magic, is able to communicate with the other Black Bulls, explaining the situation and saying they have to defeat Vett and his allies. 

 

The priest changes the rules, the time now unlimited and the goal to defeat Vett and the others in his group.

Asta and Kiat’s fight is postponed as well as any others, the 2 groups now allied to fight the mage from the Eye of the Midnight Sun

Vett’s moving onto a new prey, but we see Luck and Magna are still ready to fight, their auras more intense now as they ready their grimoires to fight more as Vett thinks they should’ve given up when they had the chance. The chapter ends as their fight is set to begin.







Boku no Hero Academia 92

Todoroki contacts Deku, confirming that they’re safe, heading in the opposite direction and guided by pro Heroes. Deku’s group is in front of the train station, Bakugou trying to say he wasn’t saved, just decided to go with them so he wouldn’t get in All might’s way

Deku wonders if they did the right thing as we shift to All Might’s fight.

We find that Shimura Nana, All Might’s master, was indeed a woman, All For One calling her pathetic in her tireless pursuit of justice.

All Might is enraged, knocked into the air by All For One’s attack. Gran Torino catches him, telling his student to not get caught up in talking with his rival, since that’s what cost him the chance last time 6 years ago.

The strategies have changed, so All Might is advised to wait until he’s vulnerable and take him out in that moment.

Newscasters are covering the scene, still unaware of the connection between All Might and All For One and their fight.

As people watch the news, seeing the destruction in Kamino, they begin to speak as if the Heroes are slacking off. All For One sees this as an opportunity to truly shatter people’s trust in Heroes in this day and age.

All For One tells All Might that as much as he hates him, he also hagtes the #1 Hero, wanting his death to be as disturbing as possible.  As he moves to attack again, whether All Might should dodge or not is brought into question, people possibly being in danger if he lets the attack go elsewhere.

The attack blasts him, his weakened form exposed to the world through the cameras following the incident.



All Might ignores All For One’s taunts, saying that he cannot break his spirit like this.

But All For One says he’ll reveal something more important to him: Shigaraki is Shimura Nana’s grandchild.



All Might doesn’t believe him, but All For One insists it’s true, saying that he must feel awful for not knowing such a thing and raising a hand against a relative of his master.

The Symbol of Peace is divided at first, but a woman in the rubble encourages him, other people following suit.




The chapter ends as All Might pushes himself to restore his power again, saying that he won’t lose, because he has to protect people, even if it may kill him









Seven Deadly Sins 176

Estarossa continues to step on Meliodas as the others are relieved he stepped in before the Sin of Wrath used Revenge Counter.

Merascylla asks Gloxinia to heal her wounds, the Fairy King agreeing as we see her burnt form restored to its healthy appearance from before

Meanwhile, Derriere and Monspiet comment on how they’ve felt something watching them, realizing that it’s Meliodas’ allies through the scrying orb.

Estarossa then talks to Meliodas, asking when he planned to betray his new comrades, like he did the Ten Commandments in the past. Meliodas was seen as one of the greatest ever, making even the Goddesses cower in his presence, many thinking he would be the successor to the Demon King.

Estarossa admired Meliodas, but his betrayal not only crippled the Ten Commandments by killing 2 of them, but then left a gap where the Goddesses turned the other races against the Demon Tribe. He continues to mock Meliodas, thinking he’s just imagining some way to use his new friends and make them suffer as well.

Merascylla chimes in, saying she should be the one to kill Meliodas, since his allies hurt her and Galan.

Ban is told about the situation as he embraces Elaine. He asks Gilfrost to teleport him to where Meliodas is

Merascylla is putting forth the effort to pull out Meliodas’ soul, succeeding.



But in that moment, none of the Ten Commandments realized that Ban appeared on the scene, his presence negated by Zero Sign, an ability he may have had or recently acquired through training, it’s unclear



The Fox’s Sin appears behind Merascylla and snaps her neck. He then initiates Fox Hunt, ripping out her throat.




Meliodas says he shouldn’t have come, but Ban thinks he was equally crazy to do what he did before.

The chapter ends as Ban says that they’re both fools, so they’ll be good allies in this fight






World Trigger 145

Katori unleashes a barrage of bullets on Yuma and Osamu, but their reaction makes Izumi and the others think she’s getting frustrated and they’re trying to wait her out so she’ll waste her Trion.

Meanwhile, Teruya is getting closer to Chika, who seems to be ready to fight her, should she get in close range.

Teruya leaps into the air, Chika firing a shot to take advantage of the positioning. But Teruya then pulls a piece of the broken structure nearby and blocks the shot, allowing her to get in range.



As Teruya gets right near Chika, she deactivates her Sniper, using a Hound instead, combining it with Lead Bullet to lob a storm of bullets that pin Teruya down with the weights that pierce through her body.



But with a final burst of energy, Teruya releases her own Hound, the shots arcing around to get past Chika’s shield and take her out as well. Teruya uses Bail Out herself, since otherwise she’d get taken out and Kakizaki’s position would be worse off.

They have 1 point, the other possible point depending on how Katori fights against Yuma.

Katori has a chance to get even in points with Tamakoma 2 if she takes out Yuma and Osamu, since the survival points will boost them up to 4 as well.

She doesn’t think she can really do it, but she has to try her best to not lose to them anyway.

Katori uses her disabled arm as a way to create tension on the wire and bounce herself at Osamu, using a Scorpion on her other arm to nearly slice off his head. 



The Trion loss makes Osamu Bail Out, the commentators impressed that she was able to attack using the Wires that were meant for Tamakoma 2’s advantage.

As she moves to attack Yuma, Izumi recognizes that Osamu did something, his last attack a Wire that Katori couldn’t see.

Since she’s caught on it, Yuma uses the technique he’d been studying from Kageura to stab her through the body with a stretching Scorpion blade, the chapter ending as she Bails Out, Tamakoma 2 winning the match






Magi 307

We see Morgiana training with the Fanalis, seeking to get stronger.

Meanwhile, back at Kina castle, Hakuryuu is training with Takeru in polearm fighting. He asks him to advance to the next level with Metal Vessels, but Takeru says he’s getting a bit old for that, Aladdin even commenting that he’s middle aged, practically.

Aladdin thanks Takeru for letting them stay here, the king of Kina saying he’s grateful as well, since it was thanks to Aladdin that they could make the kingdom float in the air. Aladdin explains it’s also due to the country’s landmass being a collection of magoi from Alma Torran, making it like an ancient artifact in a way.

Takeru emphasizes how this enabled them to become independent of Sinbad, not wanting to be tied down by the International Alliance. He regards Sinbad as his rival, partly because they’re of the same age and he wants to become a ruler like him, hailed as the King of the Seven Seas.

Nashime, another retainer of Takeru’s like Nanaumi, notes how Aladdin is being pursued by Arba, someone who took the cannon fire of Kina and survived, regarding her as a monster.

But Aladdin says that with their training, they won’t be beat so easily. They go to meet the Origin Dragon before they head out to the other side of the Great Rift.



She comments that they met after she took Judar and Alibaba from the other world. Aladdin, being blessed by the Rukh, should be able to sense the distortions slightly, along with Judar, meaning they could be relatively aware of each other in spite of being in 2 separate areas of the world, the Dark Continent part of the old world past the Great Rift.




With Morgiana trained by the Red Lions, Hakuryuu by another Metal Vessel user and Aladdin with the Origin Dragon regarding magic, they are stronger now, like Solomon’s group was when they fought against David.

She asks if Aladdin will kill Sinbad as Solomon killed David, but the Magi says that Sinbad isn’t evil, that his world has good in it. Sinbad does want to rule the world like David, but with Alibaba, he can show Sinbad another way.

The group heads out with Aladdin’s teleportation magic, but before they start their travels, Takeru asks what’s so great about Alibaba.

Aladdin says that in spite of being so ordinary, Alibaba encourages others to do great things and thus helps everyone in the grand scheme of things as a person who can change the world.

Hakuryuu is impressed at Alibaba aiding his empire with Kougyoku. He even compares Sinbad and Alibaba to those who draw others forward and those who move forward with others, almost like the difference between a black hole and a sun

The chapter ends as Aladdin’s group heads out to find Alibaba and face Sinbad.







Bleach 676

Inoue is fearful of Ichigo’s new form, since it reminds her of when he fought Ulquiorra at Hueco Mundo, being uncontrollable and dangerous. But Ichigo assures her he’s still in control this time.



Juhabach observes the new form’s resemblance to a Hollow and inquires about its nature in relation to Ichigo’s innate powers.

Ichigo explains that with the reforging of his Zanpakutou, he’s now gotten more of a balance and control with the powers, though he still required Juhabach’s reiatsu to rein in his Hollow powers when he releases them with his new Zanpakutou.

Juhabach is impressed, Inoue shocked as Ichigo moved so fast that he got around her barrier in the blink of an eye. He tells her to get back to safety while he fights.

The Quincy King unleashes his sword, blasting a path in front of him.



Ichigo rushes forward to attack, the clash of the two exploding outward to destroy the walls around them.

But it seems Juhabach can still stop the blade barehanded, saying that this new power is still insufficient.

Ichigo pulls back, starting a Getsuga Tenshou, which Juhabach thinks he can handle.

But he realizes something’s different as the Getsuga Tenshou is becoming white. We see that Ichigo’s melding it with a Gran Rey Cero, the chapter ending as he attacks Juhabach, the blast cutting deep into him as the Hollow powers are seen as poison to a Quincy.







One Piece 828

Luffy’s group and Pudding are both in shock at the revelation of their identities to each other. Pudding in particular is concerned for her safety, brandishing a knife at them, thinking they’re dangerous, especially since they sneaked past security for getting into Big Mom’s territory.

Pedro grabs her, putting his blade to her neck, Nami stopping him. They quickly resolve the issue off panel as Pudding explains how her being Big Mom’s child means she’s resigned herself to not picking her own spouse. She says that one of her sisters left at some point, possibly Lola.



Brook asks about her being the 35th daughter of the Big Mom family, Pudding qualifying that Big Mom actually has 39 daughters and 46 sons, meaning they have quite a large family, spread out amongst 43 husbands, some of the children even having their own children. And this is implied to be biological in relation, albeit there are likely many half siblings

They ask if Pudding’s met Sanji, the patissier confirming she has once and she’s quite smitten with him, making the forced marriage potentially less distressing that it would otherwise be. The group is happy that such a nice person is marrying Sanji, given the circumstances of it being political in nature.

Pedro says they should restrain her and keep her prisoner, since otherwise there’s a huge risk that she could reveal them and get them captured by Big Mom’s crew.

Pudding chimes in, saying that she and Sanji share a great deal in common, especially the fact that they don’t want to get married to someone they don’t truly love. With that in mind, as well as meeting Sanji’s friends, realizing that he’s not being selfish, but truly wants to continue being with the Straw Hat crew, she gives them a map, showing a secret route that will get them to Whole Cake Island unnoticed.



She sets up a meeting with them on the southwest part of Whole Cake Island, where she’ll bring Sanji to them. The group escapes while Pudding is picked up at the door by soldiers who are going to return her to Whole Cake Island for the wedding

The group picks up their food supplies and returns to the ship, but finds Pekoms isn’t there, discovering a note that tells them to turn back. But Luffy says they’ll keep going forward



We shift to another island in the New World, where Germa 66 is fighting a war on behalf of a country being invaded. They finish off the remaining soldiers and get their reward, leaving to cheers of the people, praising them for helping to end the conflict

The pair is contacted regarding the wedding, saying they’ll get there in 2 days. Both of them seem to be more of Sanji’s siblings, one of them interested in meeting his brother, while the other thinks he’s lying as the chapter ends on the wedding’s date coming closer.



One Piece is on break next week




Toriko 373

Aimaru and Brunch are still heading towards where the Gourmet Slime Mold is directing them.

The Gourmet Knight’s face is changing, Brunch thinking it’s connected to a Gourmet Cell Demon. The irony is palpable, since the Gourmet Knights espouse a simple diet. But he thinks that his appetite is also being drawn to what his Gourmet Slime Mold is pointing them to. It was awakened when he ate Acacia’s Full Course, the drive he had to compete with Toriko much clearer than it was before.

The location, according to his appetite, is the place where the meteorite that changed Earth landed many aeons ago.



It’s called Area 0, where the Gourmet Cells erupted, also known as the Land of Origin, which then split into the 7 continents in the Gourmet World today.

They’re heading to the center of that continent, where CENTER lies, the origin of life on earth all those years ago. If you take every first letter of the ingredients in Acacia’s Full Course, it even spells out Pangaea, the original continent that was split into pieces when the flavor burst forth with the Gourmet Cells out of the earth’s core.

Brunch wonders if this means CENTER is more important, Acacia saying that those who ate GOD in the past were led to Area 0, suggesting that it’s the Farthest Origins spoken of by those who seek the ultimate flavor.

There is a secret entrance nearby to Area 0 from Area 1, but Brunch and Aimaru are interrupted by Derous, flying over them. They think this means all the Eight Kings are heading to Area 0 as well, rather than engage with GOD.



We shift over to NEO’s headquarters, where the survivors are trying to figure out what’s going on. They discover the Golden Cookware, Joa having amassed much of the Gourmet Material that never decays to prepare these tools in order to prepare Acacia’s Full Course.

Nakaume feels strangely confident holding the Golden Cookware, saying he wants Teppei to take him to where GOD is. The others think it means his Food Luck is especially powerful, Teppei noting that he’s become quite determined in spite of his previous trauma that turned his hair white.

As they start to leave, the secretary of the IGO, Umeda, seemingly never being controlled by Joa, moves to stop them, Zaus and Apollo, another chef in the area, preparing to hold him off while Teppei and Nakaume leave to travel towards GOD



We see Toriko still being affected by Acacia’s Hard Back Channel, the Gourmet God explaining how with eating NEWS, the sheer speed of Gourmet Cell division, said to be able to exceed light speed, is awakened. And when you push it to its limit, you can slow down time so much that even though 1 second may have passed outside, a month has progressed inside the Back Channel, Toriko being sized up by NEO all that time.

But Toriko isn’t fazed, saying that his Gourmet Cell Demons have been doing some observations as well in that time

 

Toriko bites into NEO to his shock, tearing off some of his flesh. The chapter ends as Toriko states that, even though he has nothing against NEO, he will make him the meat dish in his Full Course





Fairy Tail 487

We see Brandish’s group approach August, Brandish explaining that she’s here to negotiate. He asks about Jacob’s status, Brandish confirming he’s been taken captive. She inquires regarding God Serena, August suggesting he’s still alive in some sense.

The amount of power August has seems to dwarf even Brandish’s in the eyes of Natsu’s group, particularly Mest.

Brandish answers August’s question regarding what she means by negotiation, saying she wants to stop his advance. He concludes she hasn’t been tortured, thinking she has betrayed them. The Spriggan retorts that she’s loyal to Alvareth, but sees no meaning in the war.

August claims that very thought confirms she has betrayed Zeref, since she swore to uphold his will.

We shift to the fight in northern Fiore, both Fairy Tail and Sabretooth doing their best.

Gajeel and Levy’s fight with Bradman is resumed with the Reaper saying that there are 3 seals he will open: the first negates their magic, the second reveals the underworld and the third passes judgment on their souls. Beyond the third, they have no hope, but Gajeel says his power seems weak.



Bradman qualifies that what he manipulates is not magic, but curse power, meaning he channels the power of the Tartaros Nine Demon Gates, utilizing Ezel’s sword powers. We see him use the other powers, Levy and Gajeel managing to counter Torafusa’s Tenchi Kaimei and Silver’s Ice Demon Roar, but Bradman then unveils his third seal, Over Skelter, trying to send their souls to the underworld by force.



The whirlpool of skeletons seems to absorb them, but they avoid the brunt of the effects. Levy’s mask, however, has been removed, the mage coughing up blood. She explains that anti magic particles can be absorbed through the skin, so she was never safe to begin with.

Gajeel rushes to attack Bradman, his iron pillars ineffective now and the Spriggan stabbing him in return.

The Iron Dragon Slayer remembers how he’s always fallen behind, not getting an Exceed partner until later and not learning Dragon Force yet in his training.

We see Gajeel resolve to save Levy, even confirming to fans that he indeed does love her, sucking in the anti magic particles to Bradman’s disbelief.

He metabolizes the iron in the particles, changing his body’s power to that of the curse, able to harm the Spriggan with physical attacks. After a barrage of blows seemingly destroys Bradman, Gajeel is satisfied in his victory.



But the chapter ends as Bradman’s tentacles of curse energy draw the Dragon Slayer into a portal, saying that he will take him as well, trapping him for eternity in the underworld.
