Black Clover 78

Bell the Sylph is jealous of how friendly Asta and Yuno are, even shocked when he reveals how close they were in the orphanage.

Charmy is acting lovestruck in her own way, but Bell thinks she’s harmless until Yuno says something she misinterprets as him forcing himself on her.

She thinks Charmy must’ve charmed Yuno with magic, but the Cotton Mage responds she’s older than Yuno and doesn’t need magic, both of them insisting the other is too immature physically to do so.

Rangils appears, noticing Finral and still berating him as the failure of their family, which frustrates Asta.

The Golden Dawn’s vice captain thinks that the Black Bulls don’t have anything to contribute to the battle with the enemies all being beaten by William.

But Rangils provokes Finral by saying that the Black Bulls seem to have become an orphanage, regarding Charmy and Asta as children, Finral retorting that he can make fun of him all he wants, but he won’t get away with insulting his teammates.

Suddenly, the Slime Mage from before appears, swearing to take out Rangils.

With the way he’s set things up, the hostages would be harmed by Rangil’s magic. He moves to sacrifice them to take out the enemy, but Finral stops him.

The Black Bulls combine their abilities, Charmy flinging Asta at the enemy, Finral teleporting him and Asta pulling out his anti magic sword with his mouth and attacking the enemy. Finral moves him behind the Slime Mage with another teleport, Asta finishing him off with a second attack, as Rangils is impressed with their capacities as Finral says they’ll match up to the Golden Dawn soon.

The chapter ends as Yami compliments William on his Yggdrasil Magic, asking him to take off the mask, thinking there’s something off and trusting his gut instinct.

Boku no Hero Academia 107

Bakugou’s attack, which is a specialized version of his AP Cannon from before, knocks the mysterious Shiketsu student’s Quirk back at him

He still insists that Bakugou doesn’t understand that he should behave in a manner fitting for his standing as a student of Yuuei, but Bakugou just presses forward.

Kaminari fires off some projectiles, but this barely distracts the student as he had set up one of his bizarre Quirk fingers to attack Bakugou, crumpling him up like Kirishima.

We find out the student’s name, Shishikura Seiji, and his Quirk, Processed Meat/Meat Ball/Meat Packer (translations are all over the place here), which allows him not only to temporarily crush people’s bodies into a compressed ball of flesh, but also manipulate his own body to an extent, separating parts off and controlling their positioning, etc.

Shishikura thinks that society should try to have more Heroes after All Might’s retirement, but that the exam is trying to weed out the weaker to create a showing of the best Heroes possible, which is why he’s showing his own power to them in order to reflect that he is one of the best.

Kaminari thinks it’s odd that he’s not even trying to finish the exam, but Shishikura seems confident enough in his skills as it is and tells the Lightning Hero he can’t just flash off his attacks, since the people affected by his Quirk are still able to feel pain

Shishikura is stunned as an explosion happens, Kaminari using a grenade-like device from Bakugou that he lent to him in the distraction.

This puts him in a position where Kaminari can use a new device Hatsume gave him to zap his enemies. It consists of a target device and the connector, which allows him to direct the lightning to that point within a range of 10 meters and even change the targets with a dial.

Kaminari comments how Bakugou may seem harsh, but he was avoiding the use of more dangerous explosions to keep him and Kirishima, along with the others, safe from damage.

As Kaminari continues to damage Shishikura, Bakugou and Kirishima are freed from the meat prisons and tag team him with a dual attack. We see that the others are freed as well, the trio from Yuuei ready to fight them off.

Meanwhile, Uraraka and Sero have created a combo, making pieces of debris lightweight, attaching tape to them and then releasing the Zero Gravity Quirk to send them crashing into the ground, pinning down people caught under the tape as well.

This allows Deku to pass, the number of participants who have succeed at 79 now. Mera is impressed that Yuuei hasn’t lost a single student so far, seemingly a great deal of them having passed the first exam.

The chapter ends as he entrusts the second exam to a group of experienced Heroes, many of them appearing much older and experienced, on the level of Gran Torino.

World Trigger 158

As Ouji Bails Out, he compliments Yuma, while Hounds he placed before pierce through Yuma’s leg as he narrowly dodges the last ditch effort.

Chika, under Osamu’s orders, targets Oki with Lead Bullet, somewhat affecting his mobility as her own legs are taken out from under her by his counter shot

Yuma rushes over to Oki’s position with Grasshopper, dodging Ikoma as he does so. Oki tries to attack, but Yuma, seeing the positioning, avoids the Sniper and takes out his Trion supply, making him Bail Out as well.

But as Yuma tries to dodge Ikoma’s Whirlwind Kogetsu, he’s unable to do so, the captain able to improve from seeing the technique before using Grasshopper for a high jump.

Even as Yuma is defeated, Chika Bails Out, ending the match with Tamakoma 2 narrowly the winner by a point, Ikoma’s Survival Points tying them with Ouji unit.

The commentators think that Ouji had a good flow, but Tamakoma 2 disrupted it well, protecting their Wire formation as well.

Ouji still has to work out counter strategies, which Tamakoma 2 has to predict as well, while Ikoma moved at their own pace and worked with the assumption of the Wires being a threat from the beginning, allowing them to keep up with Ouji’s strategic thinking.

Isami comments that Tamakoma 2 was lucky Ikoma didn’t also target them or they wouldn’t have been able to get the 4 points they did. Tamakoma’s strategy relies on having fewer people target them so they can build up the Wire zones at the start to maximize Yuma’s combat ability. Chika also provides cover fire that ignores Shield Triggers as well.

But if any one of them is defeated in the initial phase, they can’t establish this near unbeatable formation, Chika and Osamu the weak links here compared to Yuma.

With this in mind, they require another vanguard, someone to serve as a front to keep the two weaker members safe relative to the positions they appear in relative to each Rank War battle. The chapter ends as we see Hyuse, likely hinted at being that part of Tamakoma-2’s strategy in the future.

Seven Deadly Sins 192

Merlin is eager to experiment on Greyroad, though Guila brings up that they need to help the other people affected by his demonic egg power.

Fraudrin moves to retreat, blasting those who pursue him.

But he sees that Hendricksen has managed to catch up, his Acid Tower attack failing.

Fruadrin tries to attack him again, Hendricksen tricking him with a smokescreen from the Acid Tower and using Purge on him

But Fraudrin knocks him away, his power insufficient to purify the Commandment.

The two clash again, but Hendricksen is still too weak against Fraudrin utilizing Dreyfus’ skill and power. The Selflessness says there’s nothing the two of them can do to redeem themselves from the sins they’ve committed, but Hendricksen says that they’ll decide that, not him.

Before Fraudrin can finish Hendricksen off, he’s attacked by a lightning strike of massive proportions.

They think it’s Gilthunder, but it’s actually Zaratras, Hendricksen in disbelief at his superior being alive after he was killed before his eyes.

The two pair up to fight Fraudrin and free Dreyfus, Fraudrin thinking they can’t bring themselves to kill their friend

The chapter ends as Hendricksen thinks it’s impossible to exorcise Fraudrin’s soul with Purge, but Zaratras has another plan in mind.

Magi 320

Arba explains that there is another way to get to the Sacred Palace besides using Solomon’s Wisdom: the Metal Vessels. Since they’re based on the Sacred Staves that connected people to the power of God and the World Hole made above Magnostadt is still open, Sinbad, being a Singularity of great power, could aid with his connection to David’s knowledge.

The only problem is the lack of magoi, of which they need a great amount of it to open the Sacred Palace by force.

Sinbad thinks that things aren’t that simple, even doubting his status as a Singularity, since he can’t hear David. Arba merely thinks that means he’s advancing beyond that, and if he could acquire the power of the Sacred Palace, he’d become a being able to control the Rukh to his will.

Arba insists they can still do the ritual even with the little magoi they have, but the success rate is very low and if they fail, they’ll likely cease to be.

Sinbad asks her why she’s pushing him towards this path, thinking that she’s desperate with her power being drained by Aladdin’s efforts along with Hakuryuu and the others. She disappears in frustration at what he says.

Jafar sees Sinbad getting dressed in the middle of the night, asking him to try and stop Kou from leaving the International Alliance, since he fears they might create more chaos and ruin all that Sinbad achieved in the past 3 years.

But Sinbad says they don’t need to focus on that, since even with the success they have now, they cannot hope to preserve the peace into the distant future of a thousand years. So instead, he says he’ll be trying the method Arba suggested and fundamentally change the world’s foundations to make it peaceful for a longer time by comparison to his machinations now.

Jafar says that Sinbad has become foolish and too focused on the future: they fully admit that they cannot preserve things forever with their actions, but they trust that their pursuits will bear fruit and people in the future will seek to change things as well if war comes again between countries.

As a King Vessel, Sinbad has a great power that he has shown in contributing to the peace that exists now. Jafar insists Sinbad should not ignore the present to protect some possible future.

Sinbad agrees with Jafar, thinking that he might’ve been too arrogant in regarding himself as a god.

But the chapter ends as he still persists in doing it against Jafar’s wishes, going with Arba to unlock the Sacred Palace with the ritual that may end his life.

One Piece 840

Yonji explains that the people in the tubes are in fact Germa 66’s soldiers, manufactured with their advanced science. Judge once worked alongside Vegapunk and discovered what was called the lineage factor, a way to engineer people, close to comprehending the nature of life itself.

The World Government discovered this and arrested Vegapunk, but Judge managed to avoid it and continued his experiments independently and achieved what the Germa 66 has now, an army of Clone Pawns with bases of great soldiers in history.

With this power, they have created an army that inspires both fear and envy in other countries, only 5 years required to generate a soldier of full maturity at 20 years old.

Ichiji and Niji come in as well, commenting that they thought Sanji might mature as a pirate in the real world, but he became worse in their eyes

Sanji attacks Niji, knowing he was the one who attacked Cosette. But they counter that he should watch what he does, since they can still kill Zeff and the others are Baratie at a moment’s notice.

Niji counters with a move that seems to resemble Soru’s speed and knocks Sanji down with Electromotive, a similar technique to what Judge used before, generating electricity to enhance the attack.

Sanji is told that he should remember the hierarchy of their family, that he was a failure even in the past as we see a flashback.

Judge tells his children how special they are, that they will become rulers of his new world order after training. But Sanji falls short, the scientists commenting that in spite of his genes being modified, he is just a normal human, while his siblings have matured faster and become more powerful, like adults in their physical and mental capacity.

Sanji is told that he must continue to work harder, but he still fails, eventually being locked away, his death faked and Germa 66 treating him as if he never existed, the chapter ending on his imprisonment by Judge.

Toriko 388

Acacia mocks Toriko’s tearful interaction with his Gourmet Cell Demon, Midora stunned that it fed itself to its host instead of consuming it.

As Acacia rushes forward and attacks Toriko, he’s suddenly attacked himself, the force knocking him across the earth’s diameter and back to where Toriko is.

The power of GOD flowing through Toriko impresses him, feeling as if he’s grown up and the earth is now much smaller in perspective

Now that he’s eaten the main dish of his Full Course, the only thing left is NEO, the meat dish.

The Eight Kings are mostly recovering, only Bambina recovered enough to support Toriko after eating GOD.

Toriko hears Komatsu’s voice, telling him that GOD is finished, but he doesn’t want to eat it first, preferring to have others eat before him. But Coco and the others, recovered after Chichi’s assistance, say that he should be the first to eat it.

GOD opens its mouth, Komatsu, Nakaume and Ootake walking out.

Acacia thinks everyone’s too confident that things are now in their favor, but is surprised as we see Midora has stabilized Starjun before he died with Knocking.

The Gourmet God asks the others why they eat. He thinks it’s not just to survive or to pass on their genes to their descendants, but ultimately because appetite drives us to. That selfish nature is why sharing food with others is not the true reason for eating to Acacia, because otherwise it would run counter to appetite’s egotism.

Any emotions are distractions from appetite, seeking out new flavors that enrich life and further the desire that appetite is, all consuming and eternal. Fear is the only thing that Acacia thinks enhances flavor in any meaningful way, his love for Frohze nothing compared to the appetite that he thinks was what even spawned Toriko and Starjun.

Acacia moves to crush the earth, his appetite such that he can manifest a hand to crush it in one fell swoop as everyone is paralyzed in disbelief. PAIR warns them not to despair as we shift elsewhere.

The chapter ends as we see Aimaru pass into Area 0, surrounded by a cornucopia of ingredients.

Fairy Tail 502

As Eileen is still drawing Fairy Heart from Mavis, Zeref walks in and demands to have a final conversation with her. She begrudgingly accepts, in spite of thinking that it’s foolish, since they’re so close to the end.

But it turns out that the Zeref requesting that and the Mavis before her are an illusion, which explains why it was taking her so long to extract the magic.

Mavis is moving out to meet the guild, though with the army in between her and the rest of her friends, it seems much more difficult. Mest appears, offering his services to transport her there.

Meanwhile, Jet and Droy are having a trying time against the army, but Gajeel appears to support them, regarding Levy’s allies as his own now. Pantherlily also comes to assist, impressed at his master’s change of heart.

Levy arrives, kicking Gajeel in the face, mad at him for making her think he was dead. He’ll back up his promise and take her back to the guild.

Zera is watching this, spotted by Jet. They notice that she’s becoming transparent, which means Mavis is slowly remembering things and Zera will soon disappear completely, Mavis’ friend trying to soften the blow by saying she’s been dead for 100 years, so there’s no need for Levy and the others to be so sad.

Mavis realizes that it was Zera who brought everyone together, her mind seeing a vision of Zera merging with her, the two friends becoming one as they support the guild they founded together.

She tells Mest that with things as they are, they’re now ready to move on and retake their guild from Alvareth, Gajeel’s group also encouraged by the promise of learning about Fairy Tail’s past from Mavis.

The chapter ends as we see Lucy and Natsu taken captive by Dimaria, who promises to torture them. But Brandish is told by Porlyusica that Natsu’s tumor is something worse than anti magic particles, that danger even more prominent now.
