Black Clover 82

Finral and Noelle arrive at a house, opening it to find someone naked, shocking Noelle as she blasts him away.

It turns out these are people from the Diamond Kingdom that Asta and the Black Bulls helped at some point in a separate novel, one of them a magic item crafter and the other a former director of military affairs. The third is unknown as to what she does, though she shares their same fate of running from the law, hiding in a place that’s in need of repairs.

Domina, the magic artisan, says she thinks the Witch’s Kingdom, a neutral zone in between the Diamond and Clover Kingdom, might have a way to reverse the curse magic.

But she and Vanessa are fugitives from the kingdom, which forbids witches from leaving. Vanessa going back means she might be in danger and the Witch’s Kingdom boasts powerful magic.

Noelle still insists on going, Fanzel and the others agreeing as they pick up Asta in the middle of training

Meanwhile, we see Vanessa speaking with the head of the Witch Kingdom, who berates her student for falling in love with Yami, taken in by him to leave their perfect life.

She smashes the wall behind Vanessa, the String Mage not faltering as she demands to be taught how to dispel ancient curses as the chapter ends.

Boku no Hero Academia 111

The Hero Association is discussing the test standards 3 weeks earlier in a flashback, the National Police Agency telling them they need to change them to focus more on cooperation rather than individual ability assessment as they did in the past. Instead of waiting for someone like All Might again, they’re going to create Heroes that value group thinking and collaboration.

In the present, Deku and the others realize the Villains are near the first aid area, needing to decide how to act quickly.

Mera explains how the second phase of the exam is judged based on overall points deducted from an initial pool allotted to each student, factoring in proper use of Quirk, etc. Anyone who falls below 50 points automatically fails

Shindou tries to direct everyone to take the injured further inside, to keep their distance from the Villains. He’s stopped mid attack by Gang Orca, who uses one of his abilities associated with the Killer Whale Quirk, a sound attack that paralyzes Shindou.

Todoroki, Ashido, Ojirou and Tokoyami arrive where the Villains are, leaving evacuation efforts to Asui and others, while they handle the Villains.

Inasa arrives as well, people commenting that he’d be good with his combat ability in fighting against the Villains. Todoroki still thinks he’s being unnecessarily flashy, insisting that Inasa aid with the retreat of the injured.

But he blasts a gust at Gang Orca’s group, Todoroki also attacking with fire, which disrupts the wind. The two bicker as to whether they’re really helping in this situation, Todoroki hit by a Cement Gun from one of the Villains.

Todoroki insists his father has nothing to do with this, Inasa saying that he and Endeavor are the same, focused on getting all the recognition and ignoring anyone around them, including himself in the past as a child.

He thinks that he’s gotten over his issues with Endeavor, but realizes that he still resents his father, especially with Inasa reminding him of how he used to be like his father only half a year or so ago when they first met before Yuuei’s entrance exam.

Todoroki and Inasa’s Quirks clash again, the flames threatening to engulf Shindou as the wind redirects it.

The chapter ends as Deku pulls him out of the way, screaming at Todoroki and Inasa for their squabbling in the middle of this exam.

Seven Deadly Sins 196

Hawk, having pooped out the Red Demon skin they ate, has reverted to normal, remembering what happened. Since they think their mom’s dead, they start to cry, but are stunned when she appears, seemingly unharmed.

Escanor greets Merlin, each of them complimenting the other, though what’s more pressing is Meliodas being confronted by Ban.

He says he’s glad to have his captain back, while Escanor and Merlin discuss Meliodas’ curse and how he will always come back from being killed, but anytime he’s resurrected, his emotions are consumed, leaving him vulnerable to reverting back to his state of the fearsome Commandment under the Demon King

Merlin thinks Fraudrin, in spite of his involvement with things, didn’t deserve to die how he did.

The funeral is held for the 4 Holy Knights who died, one less well known, though his death is still felt by Howzer. Denzel and Dogget of the Pleiades are mourned for, as well as Jericho’s older brother, Gustaf.

Hendricksen and Dreyfus are insulted by Jericho, resenting them for living while others had to die while trusting them. But Bartra, Howzer assisting by defending Drefyus, says that they need to unite in order to repair what has been damaged by the Demon attacks.

Meliodas finds some alcohol and ingredients in the ruins of the Boar’s Hat, putting it together as Elizabeth arrives, Meliodas thinking he should drink to his avenging Liz’s death in the past.

Elizabeth and Meliodas eat the food, still tasting bad, but the Princess noting how it has the taste reflected from someone who has a kind heart that prepared it, remembering how he treated her with such compassion when she was at her lowest point

Meliodas replies that he’s scared of how he’s changed, unable to see what Ban feels, unable to suppress the joy he still has at having killed Fraudrin.

But Elizabeth encourages him, saying she will stay by his side always, no matter what happens, the chapter ending on her embracing him.

World Trigger 161

As everyone’s waiting for Michael and Yuri to return, Reiji seems a little off, fixing Chika’s collar because he doesn’t want to be embarrassed.

The pair enter, Reiji volunteering to take their luggage, though they already sent it ahead with a delivery company.

Yuri, an Operator for Tamakoma, introduces herself as Rindou’s niece and is happy to meet them, while Michael initially goes with his alias as Canadian before being told they know he’s a Neighbor.

Yotarou and Rindou arrive, Yotaro talking about making Chika his second wife, Yuri already decided as his first.

Michael is introduced to Hyuse, told about him being passed off as his relative.

The group discusses the next match, against Kageura, Azuma and Suzunari 1. With the points the way they are, Tamakoma 2 is tied with Ikoma at 30 points and they need to surpass Kageura’s 34 points to be in the top 2, so they have to get 5 points in the next 2 matches. Osamu’s confident with their new member and strategies they have a solid chance against even Kageura squad.

Michael and Yuma go with Hyuse to decide his Trigger setup, while Shiori reviews the team’s previous matches with Osamu.

They note that he’ll be staying here, school on break for a while, preparing for the matches a higher priority, since they have recommendations for the local Mikado high school from Border.

Yuri asks Chika and Reiji to help prepare Osamu’s room, Chika noticing how Reiji acts around her.

Meanwhile, Hyuse, Michael and Yuma all discuss what Triggers Hyuse should use. Hyuse is thinking of using Kogetsu, but is also interested in the Escudo Trigger that Karasuma used in spite of the Trion consumption being higher. For a Shooter Trigger, he wants the Viper type, which can change trajectory.

Hyuse leaves a spot open, saying he wants to test the layout in a match against Yuma, who agrees.

Chika leaves as Osamu enters the room, Yuri leaving him to get settled. Osamu notices the name on the door is “Kido” implying that Masamune Kido, the head administrator of Border, used to live in Tamakoma 2

Magi 324

David is shocked at Ugo still being in control of the Sacred Palace. Ugo responds that he saw through his and Arba’s plan to use Sinbad, but David says that’s not possible, since he absorbed Ill Illah’s power.

But Ugo retorts that he doesn’t think creation should be entirely separate from the god that created them, able to perceive the flow of destiny to some extent or be able to go against it a new rule he implemented in the world he made with Solomon’s magic.

Ugo notes that he has become a different kind of God, noting that in his free time, he’s discerned that there are ranks of gods and he managed to supersede Ill Illah’s abilities.

David is astounded at this, thinking he and Ugo can be friends, but Ugo ignores him, grasping the interloper in his hand.

Arba awakens in the Sacred Palace, confused as to where David and Ill Ilah are. Ugo directs her to see them in what appears to be a fish tank with a jellyfish and a black hole. David has been allowed to create a lower tier world, where the beings won’t comprehend their god or even themselves, more like cells that comprise a human body.

This infuriates Arba, but Ugo notes that he’s just fulfilled Ill Illah’s will.

Ugo says that he is an all powerful god and Arba realizes she cannot oppose him, focused on his task so much after losing Aladdin’s companionship.

He asks Arba if she can be his friend now, since with time not passing in the Sacred Palace, it feels as if time is near infinite, so he’s grown bored.

But Ugo is also confused as to why Aladdin and Yunan haven’t chosen another king with their fear of Sinbad’s power.

We see David in the process of creating his world, but perceives something is off, the chapter ending as Sinbad reveals he is still conscious in spite of being within the flow of the rukh, saying that David was a stepping stone to this point of his ambitions.

Magi is on break next week

One Piece 843

Luffy’s attack sends Cracker flying all the way back to Whole Cake Chateau, crashing into Big Mom’s throne room, where the other 2 Sweet Commanders, Potato Starch and Smoothie are waiting.

The Ministers of Butter, Whipped Cream and Cheese all crowd around Cracker’s battered body, wondering who could’ve done this. The Minister of Butter, Galette, remembers that he was heading to the Seducing Woods with Straw Hat Luffy as his target.

Whole Cake Chateau goes under lockdown as they prepare to retalitate.

Meanwhile, Luffy is slowly deflating as Gear 4 consumed so much energy. Nami is ecstatic at their victory, though Pound and Baum both note that they’re in a dangerous position now, Nami especially with having a Vivre Card of Big Mom’s soul.

Pound remembers when Snack, the 4th Sweet Commander, was defeated, Cracker’s forces swarmed into the sea and Big Mom unleashed a storm that decimated the enemy. She’s rumored to be able to summon storm clouds and the wrath of the sun itself.

Luffy’s still frustrated at Sanji just leaving them with the letter and not telling them anything. He wonders why things have happened in such a way so far: Pekoms disappeared, Sanji and Pudding not showing up at the meeting place, getting lost in the Seducing Woods. The imminence of the wedding is still fresh in their minds

Baum is commanded to carry Luffy back to the city.

Nami briefly communicates with Chopper and Carrot, who are still trapped in the Mirror World, trying their best to get out.

Luffy is still shrinking, nearly back to normal as Baum sights the Germa 66 procession. Nami and Luffy both call out to Sanji as Niji and Yonji both seem to be smitten with Nami as their brother is.

As Luffy tells Sanji he’s here to bring him back, Sanji thinks about the threats to himself and his friends from Big Mom’s crew and associates.

Sanji kicks Luffy away, saying that he never regarded them as friends, just keeping his royal blood a secret because he didn’t want to disappoint them. And he emphasizes that with things as they are now, he’d prefer to stay with Germa 66 instead of going back to the Straw Hats.

The chapter ends as Luffy insists he doesn’t believe Sanji as the Black Leg Chef moves to defeat his friends and end this conflict quickly before the wedding.

It’s doubtful Sanji is being truthful here, more than likely a bluff to protect his friends from the wrath of his family.

Toriko 392

The explosion of CENTER from the earth shocks Teppei, a massive life force present in it.

Toriko explains to PAIR how he’s recognized that NEO is slowly taking over Acacia’s personality and consciousness, very little of the Gourmet God’s mind left. This is because he never ate a truly compatible ingredient, unlike Toriko and the others

Acacia attacks again with even greater force as Toriko is pushed back and screaming. But it isn’t one of despair as NEO desires, his assaults being pushed back by the rage.

We see Toriko giving thanks to the ingredients, his Gourmet Luck manifesting his hands that were bitten off before.

Toriko unleashes a massive assault of Nail Punches, Forks and Knives in his Full Course of Rage, but it still doesn’t fully defeat Acacia, NEO’s power still too great.

He tries to eat Toriko again, but the Gourmet Luck, as it did before, takes the attacks as a substitute, Komatsu and the others actually safe from the attacks that would’ve killed them.

But Starjun observes that Acacia is intentionally eating the Gourmet Luck, even consuming that of others, somehow still not exploding from the gluttony he’s manifesting with his appetite.

Acacia stabs Toriko again, saying that this will finish everything, but he’s shocked to see Toriko’s third Appetite Demon manifest, consuming the black cells of NEO.

The mysterious Appetite Demon comments that he cannot be out for long, but that this Full Course of Rage is complete and Toriko need only say the final words of gratitude

As Toriko does so, the unknown Appetite Demon touches Acacia and the rage explodes outward as NEO’s form is seemingly destroyed with the chapter’s end.

Fairy Tail 506

Mavis remembers how she was the one asked to name Makarov when he was born and become his godmother, breaking down at the loss of someone she’s known for so long.

Laxus encourages her, saying that Fairy Tail still needs her help and Makarov would’ve wanted it this way.

Zeref asks Eileen about the status of things, the Enchantress reporting that 70-80% of their main forces are defeated, though none of the remaining Spriggan 12 are affected, so she thinks that things will remain the same.

Meanwhile, Natsu and Gray’s fight continues, neither side giving an inch. Gray pushes back Natsu slightly, though Natsu’s power seems to be overwhelming even in the face of Gray’s strength inherited from his father.

The two are ready to finish each other off, but as they clash, Erza stops them, tearfully asking why they’re fighting as the chapter ends.
