I mis-remembered the date: we won’t get Seven Deadly Sins until at least next week

And Fairy Tail also seems to be delayed, so we’ll be back to semi regular schedule soon

Black Clover 93

Asta and Mars rush at Fana, but are slowly getting burned by her fire magic the closer they get. Mars manages to heal them so they can persist in taking her down.

Both Asta and Mars are impressed at each other; Mars for Asta’s resilience, thinking he’s the epitome of a knight with his dedication to helping anyone, friend or foe and Asta for Mars’ strong devotion to his friend

Noelle, Finral and Vanessa are staying behind, wanting to see this to the end even if they can’t directly help Asta.

As Asta is nearing the range to attack Fana, she prepares to finish him off, but the antimagic sword hits its mark and destroys Fana’s spell.

Fana persists in her rage, but Mars rushes forward and hugs her, saying that he feels terrible for not being there when she was suffering or being able to fight for her.

He tells her that they need to see the world together like they promised.

Suddenly, Fana’s magic changes and her third eye slowly fades away as she recognizes him and agrees, the chapter ending as Mars cries with happiness that his friend has returned to him.

Boku no Hero Academia 122

The assembly finishes with a bizarre speech from Hound Dog, a Hero who seems very barbaric and feral in nature. Vlad manages to translate his ramblings, which are commenting on the behavior of Bakugou and Deku, telling the other students to behave themselves better.

As the third years return back first, one of them seems to be interested in Deku and Bakugou.

Aizawa starts class the next day, saying that they need to focus in spite of the difficulties they’ve had, things only getting harder from here.

Asui inquires about the Hero internships Nedzu mentioned in the opening ceremony, Aizawa explaining that they’re more hands on versions of the Hero shadowing they did a while back.

Uraraka and Iida are confused as to why this is done when the Sports Festival was supposed to be a way for them to get scoured by Hero agencies.

Aizawa says that if they don’t get those connections, it’ll be more difficult to do the Hero internships to begin with. It used to be that the agencies all did recruiting individually, but it created too much chaos, so they simplified it to the Sports Festival as a way for students to stand out and get recognition.

He moves on from homeroom, leaving it to Present Mic for English class in first period.

 Later, Deku and Bakugou hear about class from the others, particularly their speculations about how to get internships, such as going back to where they did their Hero shadowing.

Deku feels frustrated at being out of the loop, Iida not even allowed to tell him anything as part of the punishment.

As Deku goes to take out the trash, a face comes out of the wall, shocking him as it tells him that he should be careful and that they’ll meet again soon.

The chapter ends as Deku returns back from house arrest, 1 day before Bakugou, and Aizawa introduces three students who are involved in the internships, one of them the person who showed up before Deku, part of what are called the Big Three, the top students in their class at Yuuei

Magi 332 + 333

Morgiana is confused at Alibaba’s anger at her, but Alibaba insists that the woman he loved wouldn’t want to just die like this.

He further insists that his dream is not to focus on the future, but the present and live with Morgiana as a couple.

Morgiana wishes to aid him, but hesitates because of her Rukh being manipulated. Alibaba explains the situation, his fiancée enraged at the proverbial chains that bind her, reminding the Fanalis of her enslavement before.

Alibaba tells Aladdin his resolve, Aladdin saying that’s what he wanted to hear. But his King reminds him that he’s part of this as well and not to just shift the responsibility back onto him.

Aladdin realizes that Alibaba never saw him as someone superior or special because of him being a Magi, but just recognized him as a person, as he does with everyone else. This shows Aladdin that he made the choice of the best King in Alibaba.

Afterwards, Aladdin explains that their goal should be to destroy the Sacred Palace, since that’s what’s ultimately causing the issues they face now.

And destroying the Sacred Palace will allow them to get around the problem of Black and White Rukh, since there wouldn’t be anyone to control the Rukh afterwards and things would be more like the Dark Continent, separate from such people’s influence

Aladdin wonders if they really should do something like this, Alibaba saying that they must, even if the other people don’t wish to return to their original state apart from Sinbad’s machinations.

But the chapter concludes as we see Hakuryuu and Judal, also unaffected by Sinbad’s manipulating the Rukh because of their falling into depravity.

The next chapter begins with Alibaba, Aladdin, Judal and Hakuryuu getting the Metal Vessels back.

Their plans involve Aladdin using Solomon’s Wisdom to open a gate to the Sacred Palace

There’s a risk that someone could close it off and they’d be trapped, but Aladdin utilizes the technique his mother, Sheba, developed that expands the coverage of the Borg to an immense level, manifesting as 8 serpent heads.

The group starts to debate who should stay behind to continue and flow magoi into the gate and keep it open, but they decide they should find a 5th member to aid them.

Judal and Hakuryuu first consider Hakuei, whose Rukh was rewritten by Hakuryuu’s alchemical magic, but she’s still in a comatose state.

The chapter ends as Alibaba wonders who the 5th person is and we see that it is Nerva, one of Reim’s Metal Vessel users, noted to be a bit of a spoiled rich person. 

One Piece 852

Reiju is recovering, waking up to Sanji, who explains about her memories being altered by Pudding.

Meanwhile, Jinbe has freed Luffy and the others in Mont D’or’s books by burning them, Luffy remembering when he and Jinbe met at Impel Down.

 

Jinbe explains that his Sun Pirates were under Big Mom and that now he’s rebelled against her. He says they should head somewhere to hide, but Luffy says he needs to go to Sanji, since he’s found out about Pudding’s deception, leaving them behind in spite of his hunger and injuries.

Reiju believes Sanji, but her brother thinks things are even more hopeless than before, his plan to sacrifice himself pointless with Big Mom’s plan to kill the Germa 66.

She thinks that the Germa 66 should be killed off, willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of her brother.

Reiju remembers her mother and father fighting before Sanji and his brothers were born, Judge only focused on giving his children the power to wage wars, while her mother wanted them to retain their humanity.

In order to try and stop Judge’s ambitions, she took a drug that nearly killed her. Yonji, Niji and Ichiji all manifested their powers, but Sanji, seemingly affected by the medicine’s ability to counter the lineage factor manipulation, maintained his human emotions and was weak in Judge’s eyes.

She slowly began to die from the drug’s aftereffects, but she was happy beyond belief that one of her sons had become such a kind person. Judge regarded Sanji as a failure, but Reiju insists that Sanji is the opposite, a true manifestation of his mother’s kindness.

Smoothie is told about Jinbe’s rebellion, trying to settle things without letting Big Mom know, since she could become irrational and dangerous if she found out.

Reiju tells Sanji that he needs to leave her behind, the bracelets actually a fake and not a threat to him now. She’s unable to disobey her father because of the surgery still affecting her mind in some manner, the chapter ending as she says that Sanji has met truly great people, who will enrich his life more than his blood family ever could.

One Piece is on break next week
