Shounen Jump and Weekly Shounen Magazine will likely be taking breaks again, since it’s New Year’s, but we’ll be back to a regular schedule by January

Golem Hearts 8

The Sodom arcanist and Carles are both shocked as Noah reveals he’s a golem. But Noah ignores the insults of their attacker, used to it

The enemy golem is enhanced with Acceleration, ready to attack as it manifests the Porcupine Golem Art. As it pierces Noah’s hand, the gauntlet seems to regrow and destroys the golem breaking it into pieces

Carles asks Noah to help him, resurrecting his golem and constricting the Sodom arcanist with Amphisbaena (two headed serpent of Greek mythology). They press the arcanist to reveal where the Golem’s Tear is, revealing he had it on his person

Noah remembers that they have to help the others, but Erebus appears, saying he’ll be taking it, even if he has to force it from Noah

Egmont says they only need one individual for the Federation, but as we see the results of Erebus’ fight with the other Sodom arcanist, his power is far more immense than Noah’s, creating massive rifts in the ground from his golem’s Berserker form

Noah tells Erebus he doesn’t have time for this, throwing the Golem’s Tear into the air and breaking it into 3 pieces. Egmont’s assistant Lotte is shocked at this, but Noah responds that they can’t just think logically, or they’ll just be a regular arcanist

Since Noah’s aiming for the top, he won’t do things normally. He insists that since there are 3 pieces and Carles, Erebus and himself are here now, that means they’ve all passed.

Lotte claims that because they broke the thing they were supposed to acquire, they fail, but Noah retorts that the Federation arcanists can repair it with their skills.

Egmont acknowledges Noah’s resolve, in spite of it being foolish, telling them that all 3 of them passed as the chapter ends

Dr. Stone 41

After Ruri takes the sulfonamide, Senkuu does a quick examination, checking her lungs with the cup he used to give her the medicine, which is a slight shock to her. He hears something like a whining goat, thinking there might be water on her lungs.

He notices the corpse of a rat, bringing it to the lab for an autopsy, though Kohaku thinks that they might’ve intended to eat it, to Gen’s disgust

Senkuu thinks that there’s an inflammation of the lungs caused by germs from rats. The problem is that if it’s tuberculosis, the drug isn’t guaranteed to be able to eliminate the disease.

Suika calls everyone back, Ruri having a coughing fit that, according to Jasper, is much worse than in the past. Turquoise blames the drugs, saying that the “sorcery” is the cause of this problem with Ruri

But Senkuu thinks that what’s happened is that the germ’s special ability to spread the number of infectious bacteria, something doable by streptococcus pneumonia, meaning her disease may be something as basic as pneumonia.

The goal now is to keep utilizing the sulfonamide, but Kokuyou won’t have this, attacking Senkuu. Kohaku stops him, saying she believes in Senkuu and in science, Chrome and others echoing this sentiment

Senkuu notes that Kohaku may have been a crucial point in Ruri’s survival, the hot water baths slowing down the progress of the disease so she could live to be 18

Ruri’s health improves, Kokuyou happy at this development, his oldest daughter now able to run surprisingly fast, almost as her sister does.

Kokuyou, in gratitude to Senkuu, declares him Ishigami Village’s chief, Senkuu shocked at the village’s name

Ruri reveals that she was aware of this as well, Senkuu’s last name Ishigami, holding some significance that we still don’t know with the chapter’s conclusion

We Can’t Study 44

Rizu finds that she didn’t score very well on her practice exam, disappointed that she can’t show Yuiga any improvement

Fumino, Uruka and Asumi are all talking about the beach, Fumino dismissing it when they bring up swimsuits.

Rizu says that her scores were E’s, the other girls misunderstanding her and thinking she was talking about cup sizes. They quickly fix that mix-up, Uruka and Asumi saying that Rizu should start to understand how much influence her bust could have, since they think men tend to focus on that

Yuiga’s tutoring Rizu that night and he asks her about her scores, whether they’re E’s or F’s, Rizu thinking he’s asking her bust size, which she says is actually around a G now. 

This confuses her tutor, still trying to encourage her in spite of not knowing what the grade means. But Rizu thinks he’s still interested in her cup size, taking his words of encouragement the wrong way, even leaping to the conclusion that he wants to grab her breasts.

She offers them to Yuiga for him to feel, her father angry at the situation he sees out of context.

The two go outside, Yuiga finally being told that she was talking about test scores, to her irritation.

He says that they can still work on this, Rizu happy that he’s not that interested in her boobs, though he does glance over again, the chapter ending as Fumino is dismayed that Rizu has G-cups.

Black Clover 139

Gauche asks what the Eye of the Midnight Sun’s goons are doing here, Rades saying they came here to smash their hideout.

The Mirror Magic attack is deflected away by Sally’s Gel Magic. She says they’re not supposed to kill them even though she has no interest in them, unlike Asta.

Gauche thinks to himself that the others, Yami, Charmy, Finral and Vanessa, are all away from the base, the three of them having to protect the base themselves

Sally injects a Dark Magic Tool into one of Rades’ zombies, greatly enhancing its strength.

Gordon shows a form of his Curse magic, Poison Curse: Aufwachen Dachs (Walking Badgers), which he’s able to use fully because the enemy before him isn’t human

Grey shows off her own abilities, managing to change the Gel magic to Crystal magic with Magic Convert, Gauche sending his Reflect Ray through it to shatter the giant salamander

 

Sally is impressed at this, but Valtos helps Rades by summoning his 0th Servant, Michael Caesar

The corpse uses two types of magic, devastating the other zombies around him with tornadoes and thorns.

Rades reveals this corpse is made from two different Magic Knight Captains, a force to be reckoned with, the hideout getting holes put in it

Both Gordon and Gray remember how they felt outcast from their families, either because of their magic being seen as bizarre or not having self confidence.

But Yami and the other Black Bulls accepted them as they were, the two resolved to protect their new home. Gauche is ready to fight as well, but Rades says they can’t possibly win

Suddenly, the base seems to react to the danger, shifting around and someone coming out of a new passage as the chapter ends with their identity unknown, possibly another Black Bull member

Boku no Hero Academia 165

The training exercise continues, Bakugou frustrated as the kids have taken part of his Hero costume and Camie still not entirely understanding what to do. Present Mic and Mera tell her that as long as it’s not too dangerous, they’re free to try whatever they think is appropriate.

Present Mic asks the teacher what she wants, the stressed educator explaining that the elementary school years are essential for personality formation and they try to counsel the students accordingly. She hopes that interacting with students who have dreams to become Heroes may help them open up again.

Bakugou thinks that there must be a kid that’s the boss of sorts, creating the base for their attitudes. He suggests they find them, beat them up and show the kid how insignificant they are, Present Mic and the others shocked at this

Inasa decides to try a different approach, asking the kids if they want to become Heroes. Many respond enthusiastically, and he says that if they bother the teachers, they can’t become proper Heroes. But one of the students brings up how he’s also doing that by making the teachers and public workers like Mera hold extra training sessions, Inasa taken aback by this revelation

Bakugou insists that violence can be a motivator to problem children, but Todoroki thinks there’s another way, Bakugou remembering from the sports festival how he learned about Todoroki’s past with his father.

Endeavor tells All Might that he’s entrusted everything to his son. After he achieved the #2 Hero spot at the age of 20, he realized he couldn’t reach All Might, since he wanted to be the strongest, but couldn’t be like the Symbol of Peace

All Might says he doesn’t really know what to say, having just wanted to be a light to inspire people and show Villains that there was someone who wouldn’t give up. But he also admits that he had his flaws, pushing away people who wanted to help him, shouldering the burden on his own, such as with Nighteye.

In spite of people comparing them, he says that they need to be recognized as two separate people. Endeavor must find his own way, not just imitating All Might as Deku did, which caused his own problems.

Todoroki tries his method, seemingly showing a kind of fatherly love in Camie’s eyes, which impresses some of the girls who were angry at her, though they quickly revert back to being jealous

He starts to explain things, but it’s very rote and boring to the kids, since it’s stuff that’s going over their heads in regards to his resenting his father and not getting along well with his class initially.

Camie suggests they just show off their Quirks to really reflect their personalities and connect with the kids that way.

The kids seem to realize what’s going on, remembering that their parents and people on TV have brought up their uncertainty as to whether they can rely on Heroes. They start to bring out their own Quirks, saying their generation will be better like their parents claimed.

The chapter ends as Bakugou and the others get ready to fight as well, Present Mic shocked that they had to resort to this for grade school kids, but not saying it out loud.

One Piece 890

Everyone’s still shocked at Big Mom’s emaciated appearance, even Perospero not having seen her like this in a while.

The Yonkou starts to tear apart the Sunny, but Jinbe reveals that there is no cake, which she also starts to notice, saying she’ll kill her oldest son if it turns out to be the case.

Perospero is getting nervous, but then Big Mom moves to attack Jinbe, saying he shouldn’t call her son a liar.

Napoleon combines with Prometheus to utilize a technique called Cognac, setting the blade on fire.

Jinbe uses Haki, called Shark Skin here, but even as he manages to take the blow, Big Mom pushes him back with her own power into the ocean

As Big Mom continues to wreck the ship, she gets near the room where Carrot is, Nami shouting for her to stop. She attacks Nami with Napoleon, the navigator narrowly dodging.

Chopper protects Nami with Guard Point, Big Mom impressed at his power.

The flames have started to spread to the sails, Brooke panicking. But Jinbe uses Fishman Karate to douse the flames, Big Mom stopped temporarily as well with Prometheus being injured by the water

Then Jinbe rushes at Big Mom, using Fishman Karate’s ultimate technique, Vagabond Drill, pushing her off the ship, Zeus narrowly catching her.

Jinbe tells Brooke and the others they need to keep trying to get away, since if Perospero and the others catch them, they’ll be doomed

Nami moves to tempt Zeus again, but he zaps her. It turns out she used Mirage Tempo to make Brooke look like her, immune to lightning himself.

Big Mom starts to slash at Brooke with a longer Napoleon sword, but he shockingly asks to see her panties. This distracts Big Mom enough that Brooke can use his swordsmanship, Notch Slash, to cut through Zeus.

Nami releases Positive Charge Black Balls, unleashing another massive shock into Big Mom

Prometheus catches her as we see that Zeus is now shrunken to a much smaller size than before

Nami tells him that he should serve them or she’ll kill him, the chapter ending as Big Mom now rides on Prometheus to pursue.

Seven Deadly Sins 248

We see Cusack mourning his inability to protect Zeldris, smashing a portion of the castle with just his hand gripping it. Chandler tells him he should just straighten himself up for the future.

But Peronia steps in, telling Cusack something in secret that makes him decide he must leave. Chandler comments that Meliodas is the best candidate for Demon King, the only thing making it difficult Elizabeth’s presence

Elizabeth is begging Meliodas not to go through with this, since him becoming Demon King could still result in Elizabeth losing her memories and even if she didn’t, Meliodas would likely have to leave Britannia, the sheer power of the Demon King more than the world could bear

Meliodas says that Elizabeth doesn’t need to worry about being separated from him, claiming that her love that’s persisted through each reincarnation has only been imprinted by the Supreme Goddess’ curse, to Elizabeth’s shock. He says it’d be impossible for her to have loved only him all this time

Elizabeth says that Melidoas should have just left her if he believed that, since she’d have forgotten him anyway. But Meliodas retorts that he can’t help but love her in every form, reverting to his previous form, the demon markings no longer present.

He’s embraced by Elizabeth, who insists that she fell in love with him every time through her own free will. She says they should try to find some other way with their friends

Meliodas returns to his demonic form as he says that he feels nothing when she embraces him now, the only thing motivating him the promise he made to her that he would break their curse by any means necessary

As Meliodas tries to restrain her, she slaps him, the Sin of Wrath saying that if she wants to hit him, then she can. Elizabeth then utilizes Ark and strikes him with its power, knocking him back into a wall, smashing it out. She prepares to attack again as she says she won’t give up

We shift back to the Boar’s Hat, everyone worried about the immense magical power coming their way. But Merlin is calm and collected, saying she’ll negotiate with them, bringing out Merascylla

Zeldris is the first to arrive, not recognizing Merlin even though she seems to know him. As she reverts to her childlike appearance, Zeldris realizes who she is.

The chapter ends as we’re told that she’s been blessed by the Demon King and the Supreme Goddess, someone of immense power in the scale of the world. 

Translation here says she’s the daughter of the Demon King and Supreme Goddess, but this seems to be a mistake, since the word used in Japanese is musume, which can mean daughter, but also just a girl in general. Japanese says she has received a blessing from the Demon King and Supreme Goddess, a shukufuku

Shounen Jump was on break last week and Weekly Shounen Magazine was on break the previous week, so here’s a combined post of both weeks

Golem Hearts 7

Egmont explains that the item the arcanist students will be trying to acquire is the Golem’s Tear, an item crafted out of diamond and a national treasure of Chernozem. But he also qualifies that only the student who acquires it will pass

As everyone else is complaining, Noah has already gone to the door, knocking on it and asking Sodom to return it, claiming that it’ll be better than fighting him.

Everyone else is utilizing Golem Arts to prepare their golems for combat, but Noah readies an attack to punch the door, breaking it to the shock of one of the students who planned to shrink his golem and get in the keyhole to open it

Carles and Erebus are staying back, suspicious that there’s no security there, Erebus even saying that Nyx, his golem, can see into the building and that there’s no one there.

Egmont says this is odd, thinking that the arcanists who discovered the hideout may have been captured, his assistant Lotte saying that they should warn them. But Egmont responds that they expect people to be able to adjust to the situation.

Carles rushes to the hideout, telling Noah to get out as he’s standing on a balcony, claiming that there’s no danger, just a golem in a room. But as Carles moves his golem to pull Noah out, the golem in the hideout uses a golem skill, Porcupine, stabbing out needles in all directions, fatally wounding most of the participants

Noah is unscathed, but Carles has taken some damage as well, thinking this pays Noah back for saving him before the exam started from the other golem user.

But Noah insists that they’re friends and that he doesn’t have any debt to pay him, Carles confused.

The Sodom arcanist is disappointed he didn’t kill everyone, moving to kill Noah and finish the group off.

Noah readies himself to fight, but we see someone else attack Egmont’s group, Erebus’ golem managing to stop the attack.

The Sodom arcanist that appears looks the same as the one fighting Noah. He brags that he’ll tell them where the Golem’s Tear is if Erebus can destroy his golem.

Erebus is confident, calling his golem junk, which angers the arcanist, claiming that he’s killed nearly 100 arcanists and almost as many golems. This only irritates Erebus further, utilizing Golem Art level 5, Berserker, to attack the enemy arcanist

The chapter ends as Noah uses Hammerman on himself, Carles shocked that he could do such a thing, ready to fight as well.

Dr. Stone 40 

The village is still baffled at the turn of events, Senkuu seemingly married to Ruri in a quick ceremony. But Kokuyo opposes this, saying an outsider shouldn’t be chief of the village, some of the villagers wanting to support him, but others saying that Senkuu won fair and square.

Senkuu demands booze, one of the villagers bringing out some jars that have become vinegar, which are also something he needs, not wanting them thrown out. Senkuu’s told that the wedding ceremony will involve lots of drinking, but as Ruri coughs up blood, he says he’ll divorce Ruri, taking the jars of alcohol and vinegar, time short to help her

Ruri mourns her divorce, though she says this to Chrome in particular, suggesting she may indeed wish to marry him in the future.

As Kokuyou demands that Senkuu is captured, Kinrou steps in, saying that he has seen Senkuu’s deeds and that he isn’t a bad person, risking his life for the sake of others.

With Kaseki’s help, Senkuu make a watermill out of bamboo, spinning around for some unknown purpose. Senkuu tells them they’ll wait until tomorrow when things start to get interesting.

Gen is about to leave, but Kaseki asks that he stay with him to watch the waterwheel so it isn’t damaged, threatened by the old man’s muscles to agree in spite of his opposition

Senkuu explains that they should be done with the sulfonamide by tomorrow. He asks Chrome, who he brought back and woke up with smelling salts, to find some coal, but Chrome sees that there’s nothing left, having used it for the iron furnace before

But thankfully, they just need the dregs, getting some from the furnace. Senkuu starts the process, which will involve around 25 steps to conclude as the sulfonamide itself, Chrome amazed at how much work this entails in just one night.

They gather some sea sponges to make a filter, the work continuing as we shift back to Gen and the waterwheel

He looks in it and finds that it’s generating carbon dioxide, which he deduces is connected to the cola that Senkuu promised him.

But as Gen returns, he sees that the lab suffered a slight explosion, Senkuu and Chrome still recovering. Senkuu explains that they were mixing various chemicals and added a bit too much at one step. He also notes that they’ve progressed to a stage where they have something akin to hydrochloric acid (far more advanced that sulfuric acid)

After making baking soda by mixing the carbonic acid with sodium hydroxide, they pour that over the creation and create the sulfa-drug. After a half year of work, they finally have reached their goal to help Ruri, Kohaku tearing up at the hope she has now.

Gen stays behind, not wanting to go to the village, but he finds that Senkuu, by combining some other primitive methods, even making caramel from burning honey, along with lime and coriander, combined with carbonated water (possibly derived from the waterwheel as well?) to make him the bottle of soda, which he quickly guzzles down.

The chapter ends as Ruri is about to be given the sulfonamide, the story taking a new turn after this moment.

We Can’t Study 43

Uruka takes Yuiga to their old middle school, saying she can come here because she’s an advisor of sorts for their swimming club. Yuiga thinks it’s not exactly appropriate for them to enter when it’s so late and during summer vacation

But Uruka ignores this, saying that she remembers that they used to sit next to each other, Yuiga saying it was only for one semester. When they first met, Uruka thought he was just a gloomy guy, but she catches herself before she says more about her unrequited feelings, instead saying she’s surprised they stayed in touch like this

They reminisce some more, passing by a place where Uruka remembers first hearing about how Yuiga admired her back in middle school for being so devoted to swimming. After that, she started to realize her growing feelings for him, even practicing in front of the mirror to greet him.

Her friends, realizing that she changed her high school choice to Ichinose because of her crush on Yuiga, say that they’ll try as well

As Yuiga and Uruka are about to turn a corner, someone comes up, the two narrowly avoiding him. It’s Gotou, a teacher from their middle school days, who’s gotten heavier after getting married. Uruka has permission, but she’s still worried about Gotou getting mad at her.

The two sit at the pool, Uruka saying she wanted to come here because it was where Yuiga and she first talked, Yuiga motivating her to keep at swimming when she was about to give up

But Yuiga confesses that that day also helped him, since it was close to when his father died. He was dedicated to studying, but he was also discouraged by his grades not improving. When he saw how Uruka was succeeding at swimming, he was motivated to keep at it.

Uruka grabs his hand, sad that she brought up something so painful for him. Yuiga quickly tries to change the subject asking if she’s confessed to her crush yet. Uruka is flustered at this subject, saying things have made it difficult for her to bring it up

Yuiga then volunteers to be her practice partner, Uruka shocked at this, since he doesn’t know her crush is actually him. She decides to ask him to call her by her first name to make things more realistic

He does so, to her shock and she’s a bit frustrated that he can say it so easily. But then Uruka blurts out that she loves him, Yuiga saying they should do it over, since he’s not her crush (or so he thinks).

Uruka pushes him in the pool, Yuiga calling her by her surname again. She asks him to keep calling her by her first name, which Yuiga says is awkward. But she pushes him, the chapter ending as she pulls him out of the pool, wondering if she actually made things more complicated between them

Black Clover 138

Raia is unable to fight back effectively, the sheer power of Mereoleona’s Mana Zone something that is shown to enhance not only the strength of the magic, but even reaction speed, explaining how she was able to move so effectively before.

Asta and Zora are amazed that she’s taking on a Third Eye by herself, having had so much difficulty themselves

We shift over to Yuno, attacking people from behind with his magic, Mimosa commenting that it’s like Mana Zone, that ability connected to Spirit Dive as well

Yuno notices something pulsing deeper in the hideout.

Back at the Black Bull’s base, Gauche, Grey and Gordon are all waiting around. Gauche wonders why Grey and Gordon are being so close to him, telling them that he’ll take on the orders that come up. But Grey and Gordon insist that they’ll accompany him

Gauche tries to leave, but they stop him, saying that it’d be too embarrassing to be alone together. Grey tries to strike up a conversation, Gauche showing off the figure of Marie he’s making.

Gordon shows off his collection, Grey thinking they’re voodoo dolls. Gauche leaves to go to the bathroom, asking where it is, since the hideout changes locations of various rooms day by day

But suddenly, zombie like humans start to attack the hideout, Sally, Rades and Valtos all arriving to start their invasion

But Gauche uses his Mirror magic, the others preparing to fight as well with the chapter’s end

Boku no Hero Academia 164 

We see Todoroki and Yoarashi talking, Inasa still trying to be Shoto’s friend, but Shoto insisting they not force it, since they already have clashing tastes in food and personality differences

The test begins, Mera explaining that they’ll be adding an eleventh member to the group of ten that’s been working on their provisional licenses so far.

All Might doesn’t want to stand out, denying Present Mic’s claim that they should get closer to see the action, but Endeavor draws everyone’s attention to them as he does his best to cheer his son on

We see that Camie is the eleventh person in question, since even though she technically appeared to progress properly, she had some blanks in her memory (because of Himiko impersonating her), so she’ll be participating as well.

Camie’s mannerisms are vastly different from what we saw when Toga mimicked her, talking much more in modern slang. She was drugged from what the police found by testing her blood, asleep for 4 days. But everyone was none the wiser until after the fact, Seiji beating himself up for not noticing.

Gang Orca takes over, berating the students for their failure, acting like a drill sergeant by saying they’re worthless and need more guidance to become proper Heroes.

Bakugou, Todoroki and Yoarashi in particular are seen as the worst examples, relying on their strength instead of having a strong sense of heart, understanding the victims they seek to protect and rescue from danger.

So they’re given a special trial with what appear to be kindergarteners, raucous and annoying. Bakugou yells at Gang Orca about how this is supposed to be a major challenge, making one of the kids cry, while Todoroki, who has some first aid treatment tubes on his suit, fails to explain to the kids that it’s not a “pee pee”. Yoarashi is getting punched by the kids, thinking that he won’t be like Endeavor, who treated kids like him with disdain.

Camie asks why she’s also included, Gang Orca saying she didn’t go through the test proper, so this will serve as her test overall. She hugs one of the male students to her chest, some of the female students attacking her, jealous of her trying to “seduce” him.

The teacher apologizes again, the students seen as problem children. Gang Orca says that the four of them will try to reach the hearts of these children, Bakugou reducing it to being their nannies as the other students go to more lectures.

Present Mic, needing to do something with the otherwise simple test, decides to offer color commentary as the emcee.

All Might asks Endeavor what he wanted to talk with him about, the #1 Hero of the present asking the former Symbol of Peace what that truly means, since the crime rate has gone up since his retirement, the chapter concluding with this serious conversation.

One Piece 889

Daifuku attacks with his Hoya Hoya Fruit, the genie he summons slashing through many of the ships to try and get Carrot.

Jinbe explains that the Sulong form is an awakening of the Mink’s ancient feral memories. But it can be dangerous without training, the Mink dying within one day of fighting if they cannot control its rage.

Brook rushes towards the ship, able to run along the sea because he’s only bones. The others move to defend their rear being attacked by more of Big Mom’s fleet

Perospero notes that Big Mom has been rampaging for 8 hours since her eating disorder was triggered, longer than any other time in the past. She’s becoming more and more emaciated as time goes on, calling for Prometheus and Zeus.

But when Bavarois reveals that Pudding is bringing the cake on Bege’s ship, Perospero thinks the cake must be sabotaged somehow.

Bege and Sanji are debating this, Sanji saying they shouldn’t mess with the taste, while Bege says they should take this opportunity to make it so Big Mom will be killed. He thinks that Sanji is trying the impossible to satisfy the taste of someone who’s eaten as many delicacies as Big Mom has, but Sanji is willing to take that challenge

Sanji gives Bege some of the cream from before, the sweetness overwhelming his senses. He relents on his plan, Sanji saying he can try to kill her after she eats the cake. The group is getting closer to finishing the cake and closer to where the Straw Hats are.

We shift over to Zeus and Prometheus bickering, both of them having delayed getting to Big Mom, but heading her way as fast as they can

Carrot is running out of stamina through her attacks, Daifuku still trying to take her out.

Brooke comes to her assistance, rescuing her from falling into the sea after putting a ship to sleep. She tells him that she can revert back if she blocks her eyes from seeing the moonlight.

As Carrot is brought back to the ship, Bavarois tells Perospero that Daifuku has failed in his attempts.

Big Mom has Napoleon change into a sword, Zeus and Prometheus supporting her and fusing with her body respectively, her form more menacing than before.

The chapter ends as Big Mom rushes at the ship, ready to attack as Jinbe tells the others they should be prepared to abandon ship.

Seven Deadly Sins 246-247

We return to Meliodas taking Elizabeth with him, Chandler following behind as Meliodas vows to become the Demon King and defeat Elizabeth’s curse. His former teacher is still angry as Elizabeth tries to stop him, but to no avail

Estarossa is having a dream, in a field alone (similar to a vision Elizabeth had in the past where she met the Commandment of Charity). But then he sees Elizabeth, asking if he got in a fight with his older brother (likely Meliodas), which wakes him up from his state of recovery

He’s greeted by Peronia, a Demon who appears to be somewhat enthralled by him, even complimenting his healthy body. She explains he was asleep for about 3-4 days, but is fully healed now. They both react with shock as Meliodas arrives.

As Meliodas enters the castle, Zeldris and Cusack comment how he’s quite brazen to walk in here as a known traitor and bringing Elizabeth along with him as well

Chandler tries to defend himself, but Meliodas silences him, stating his business is simple: he wants to become Demon King. Zeldris says he will take that title, but Estarossa comments that he feels left out

The Commandment of Charity says he really doesn’t care, but if his brothers are vying for Demon King, then he wants in as well

Elizabeth and Meliodas both react to Estarossa’s presence, Meliodas impressed he’s still alive and Elizabeth thinking she has met him somewhere before. Estarossa comments as much, seeming to recognize Elizabeth, but Elizabeth insists she hasn’t met him before

Estarossa decides to give up on pursuing the Demon King’s throne, but in exchange, asks Meliodas to give over Elizabeth. Meliodas refuses, Zeldris and Estarossa moving to attack him

But as they strike, Meliodas quickly counters, taking them both to the ground with Hellfire and even striking Cusack before he can defend Zeldris

Zeldris is stunned, unable to move even with the Demon King’s power that he’s been granted. Estarossa manages to struggle slightly but Meliodas pushes him back down

The chapter concludes as he says he wants to discuss things, but they need to be certain where they stand in terms of power

The next chapter begins as Elizabeth convinces Meliodas to release them, so as not to actually kill his brothers

Estarossa apologizes for his actions, acknowledging that Meliodas is truly as strong as his father claims he is. He still intends to plot against Meliodas somehow, but Zeldris is more forthcoming, saying that Meliodas only wants the Demon King’s power to release both he and Elizabeth from the curse.

Meliodas doesn’t deny it, even saying he intends to take the portion of the Demon King’s power from Zeldris, though he also thinks that won’t be able to negate the curse

Zeldris rushes to attack him, Estarossa trying to take the opportunity and capture Elizabeth, but dodges an attack from Meliodas.

Meanwhile, Zeldris is pinned by Meliodas, who tells him he knows why he wants to become the Demon King, whispering the reason in his ear, which makes his brother stop, giving up the fight

He agrees to help Meliodas, though he asks him how he intends to stop the Demon King, since even the power Zeldris has is nothing compared to the true Demon King

Meliodas comments that he’s aware of how his father divided his power into 10 pieces rather than the half he initially had in mind, which formed the basis of the 10 Commandments.

Once they acquire the power of those Ten Commandments, Meliodas will have power comparable to the Demon King.

Zeldris reveals he already has the Commandment energy of Gowther, Gloxinia and Dolor. But he says that they can’t just take them by force, either requiring the consent of the Commandment or rendering them powerless by combat. With Gowther, Gloxinia and Dolor they had abandoned their loyalty, so it was easy, but the others are more faithful

Estarossa asks if they can just kill them, Zeldris saying that the Commandment power would remain in their corpse. Meliodas reveals he has Grayroad’s Commandment power, stolen from him after he was captured by Merlin, though Galan and Merascylla’s whereabouts are still unknown to him

Zeldris and Estarossa, not being distrusted by the Demons, are given the task of recovering the rest of the Commandments, Chandler thinking this is also to keep Elizabeth safe from outside attacks by Meliodas staying close to her

We shift over to the Boar’s Hat, Elaine worried about Ban, Diane encouraging her by saying he’ll definitely come back

Merlin realizes Grayroad’s Commandment has been taken, reacting to a sudden magical presence, Estarossa and Zeldris both heading their way as the chapter ends
