One Piece is on break this week

Fairy Tail will be ending in 2 volumes according to Hiro Mashima, which would be about…18 chapters or so, meaning we’ll see the end of Fairy Tail by September or October, depending on if we get double chapters and such.


Dr. Stone 11

As we see Tsukasa think of what his life could have been like if he had befriended Senkuu, Taiju cradles Senkuu’s seemingly lifeless body, in shock at his friend dying.



Tsukasa tells them they can at least give him a burial as his friends.

Taiju seems to snap, Tsukasa thinking that in spite of Yuzuriha being a potential hostage, the remaining male in their group may lash out in fury, in which case he’d have to kill him

But Taiju picks up a boulder, whispering something to Yuzuriha as she agrees with whatever plan he told her.



Taiju throws the boulder into the air, Tsukasa thinking it might be a decoy, but didn’t expect that Yuzuriha would run over and throw the urn of black powder, which he instinctively kicked, spreading it all over him.



Taiju remembers how he, Senkuu and Yuzuriha promised to fight against Tsukasa, this last ditch effort their attempt to take him down with what Senkuu left behind for them.

As the rock lands on the volcanic area, the sparks ignite an explosion right at Tsukasa, the chapter ending as he’s engulfed in it.



The author put a twist here, Senkuu at least thought of as dead for the moment, though now the question remains as to whether Tsukasa will be killed here or merely retreat.




We Can’t Study 13-14

Uruka finds out that there’s a ball sports tournament today, having forgotten about it because she was so tired after yesterday’s practice. And to her dismay, she also neglected to wear a bra this morning, mortified at the thought of Nariyuki seeing her like that.



She’s wearing a jersey as she and her friends watch Yuiga try to make a hit in a baseball game. He misses completely, a more handsome student called Kobayashi taking his place, to the excitement of Uruka’s friends.



Takemoto snaps out of her daydreaming about Yuiga working out, wanting to stay away from him especially.

But it turns out there’s a basketball tournament that’s co-ed and Uruka’s facing off against Yuiga, who’s teamed up with Sawako and Kobayashi, Takemoto teamed up with Fumino and Rizu. She thinks it might be okay, since the jersey’s black.

Fumino passes the ball to Takemoto, but she freezes up at the idea of everyone possibly staring at her chest.

Yuiga steals the ball from her, Takemoto trying to focus afterwards.

She moves quickly to make a shot, but Yuiga, wanting to improve his grades in physical education with this tournament victory, moves to intercept her, brushing against her chest, which makes Takemoto stop immediately in embarrassment

As they’re taking a break for halftime, Yuiga approaches Takemoto, wondering if she’s feeling okay. He concludes she might just be stressed out under the pressure of everyone counting on her, saying that she shouldn’t worry, since she stands out when she plays sports.

Takemoto misinterprets this conversation to suggest Yuiga is confessing his feelings indirectly, inspired to ignore her plight and do better.



She ties the game with amazing shots, only 30 seconds left.



Yuiga moves to intercept and after she misses the shot, they both move to catch the ball, Uruka’s chest brushing up against Yuiga’s again. She tries to push past her embarrassment, but ends up slipping and falling on him chest first onto his face.



Fumino makes the shot, winning the game for Uruka’s team.

Takemoto’s worried about Yuiga noticing her braless situation, Yuiga commenting that she feels like his sister, making her even more embarrassed.

The chapter ends as she thinks she should’ve just worn her swimsuit underneath

We start the next chapter as Yuiga’s class is going on a 3 day, 2 night training camp in the mountains. But Yuiga’s classmate Oomori is depressed at the idea of them just going into nature to study, wanting there to be mixed bathing or such. 



Yuiga isn’t focused on that, seeing a plant he could use in tempura, but dragged away by the teacher before he can pick it up.

Fumino notices that Rizu’s been looking at Yuiga, asking what she’s thinking. Rizu thinks she’s talking about someone else.

Later on, she wonders if she really was looking at Yuiga too much, moving to offer him an eraser as his is getting smaller while they’re doing a test.

But Fumino and Takemoto both offer Yuiga erasers as well, which he accepts, nearly looking up Takemoto’s skirt as he moves to pick up the one Fumino accidentally dropped. Rizu seems frustrated at the missed opportunity.



She’s going to get milk, thinking she must be low on calcium to explain her irritation. Yuiga helps her press the button on the vending machine that she can’t quite reach. He asks her if she needs any help, Rizu running away, trying to avoid confronting him about her confused feelings as she blurts out that it’s not his business, confusing Yuiga.



Rizu is playing a card game in the woods, wondering about how she should apologize for her outburst. She sees the plant that Yuiga was interested in before, getting a bunch, but losing track of time and even how she got there.

It starts to rain heavily, Yuiga not knowing where Rizu is. Sawako also asks Yuiga if he’s aware of Rizu’s location, since they can’t use their smartphones in the training camp.

Yuiga thinks Rizu must still be out in the rain, going himself to find her.

Rizu is sitting on a hill under a tree, her only solution to being lost to wait for someone to find her, which she thinks will be likely come tomorrow at the latest.

She imagines Yuiga coming to help her, thinking that’s illogical to imagine such an unlikely scenario.

But Yuiga appears before her, having noticed a card from the game she was playing float down a hill and deducing she must be higher up.



She offers the edible plants abruptly, trying to pass it off as just something she found.

Yuiga wonders if she’s unable to get down as she hesitates on the hill, but Rizu moves down, slipping and accidentally kissing Yuiga as he tries to catch her with the chapter’s end 







Black Clover 110

Asta is still wracking his brain for a way to continue his way up Ultime Volcano. He tries to just scream out “Transform”, but it does nothing, Meleoleona leaving him to his devices.

After remembering that he was nearly dead when he transformed into the antimagic form before, Asta thinks he could leap into the lava, but decides against it.

He’s initially starting to get jealous again, but focuses on what he has, thinking that Meleoleona commented that he doesn’t know himself fully yet.

What he concludes he does have is 1) the ability to use the antimagic sword and cut down magic, 2) a trained physically fit body and 3) the ability to detect ki, to avoid dangers like falling rocks.
 
He then notices that if he concentrates, he can feel his own ki and some black energy flowing from the sword, trying to see if he can make the two flow together, managing to activate the anti magic form, which pulls him into the air towards some high source of mana




We see that the source is a giant lava monster, the Crimson Lions not able to fight it effectively, Noelle having difficulty just keeping up her Mana Skin.

Asta goes flying through the monster, destroying it and going right past them.

Turns out he’s now going towards Yuno, who stops his flight, Asta heading into the lava, to his shock.




Meleoleona appears, dodging his attack and punching him out of his descent into the lava, Yami and Charlotte impressed at her combat abilities.



Asta is happy that he’s gotten some understanding of his ability, even if he can’t fully control it, Meleoleona complimenting him for improving. She then asks him to get ready for the hot spring, Asta confused as the chapter ends





Boku no Hero Academia 138

We’re told that Nighteye’s Foresight saw the location and path that the underling of the Eight Precepts of Death took to get to Eri’s room. They also give out lists of the known Quirks that the members have so they can be careful in their infiltration.

Nighteye wants to be clear of everyone’s positions so the villains can’t have time to react and hide themselves, the Yuuei students especially nervous, though the Big 3 seem more confident. Ryukyu tells Asui that she didn’t learn this stuff when she was in school, so it’s a big opportunity for the fledgling Heroes to learn for themselves.

Since something has happened with Tsukauchi’s investigation, Gran Torino isn’t able to make it.

Aizawa reminds Deku that he’s here to keep him in check, the rest of the Heroes told that they need to be careful of the yakuza Villains and how they operate, everyone moving out.

The warrant is being read and everyone is ready to start the mission, the Key Hero Lock-Lock (name is unclear since it’s in katakana and we don’t have an official spelling like with other Hero names from a few chapters ago like Mirio’s Hero name Le Million) a bit irritated that they have to be reminded of this.



The commander pushes the intercom button, but the gate is punched open by a giant Villain, knocking some of the police away, saved by Deku and Aizawa.

The Villain attacks Ryuukyuu, who uses her Quirk to turn into a dragon, saying she’ll hold them off with her group while the rest go into the hideout proper.




Some of the other Villains attack the group that’s getting into the building itself, but are easily pushed back.

Overhaul is told about the situation, telling his subordinate to act like he wasn’t here, that the Heroes attacked on their own accord



His pawns, wearing masks because it allows him to not breathe the same air as those who do his dirty work, are prepared to hold the Heroes off while Overhaul and the others move their operation elsewhere, including Eri, the chapter ending as we see the rogues gallery of the Eight Precepts of Death.





Magi 348

Alibaba reiterates that he has a plan that’s different from Aladdin’s idea of destroying the Sacred Palace or Sinbad returning everyone to the Rukh.

His status as one who died as a human, became one with a god and then came back as a human, living and breathing unlike Arba’s spirit form, makes him uniquely qualified

More importantly is how Alibaba achieved his revival with the help of everyone in Ill Illah, thinking that even if he’s weaker than Sinbad or Arba, collaborating with others may be the key to doing something more amazing.

Arba suggests he might have no worth apart from others, but Alibaba notes that his skill is that assisting of others. And even Sinbad aided him, Alibaba’s achievements in no small part because of Sinbad’s contributions, which even Sinbad cannot seem to fully understand.



Sinbad acknowledges Alibaba’s plan as having worth, teleporting Aladdin back here at Alibaba’s request to further discuss.

Alibaba begins by explaining how Sinbad’s goal is vertical, trying to break the ceilings to achieve higher status than the upper tier gods, but that it would involve sacrificing everyone to the Rukh’s flow.

Aladdin’s plan is horizontal, trying to break the dichotomy between black and white rukh, which would still end up with some other god taking over the system eventually.

So instead, Alibaba thinks they should remove both the vertical and horizontal aspects.

Alibaba died and was sent to another dimension by Belial’s scythe and then was sent back by the magic that the people of Alma Torran created. Since they connected dimensions, even if only for a brief moment, Alibaba thinks that this can be applied to Sinbad’s idea of breaking through the layers of the world, like a building’s floors.

But there’s still the matter of the Rukh being scattered, people from this world, Alma Torran and Al Thamen all in different dimensions, seemingly there because of some rule that’s considered immutable.

But Alibaba thinks with the magic they developed, it could be possible to connect the worlds and break the horizontal and vertical boundaries, making the Rukh truly free. This plan seems to shake Sinbad and Aladdin both.



The chapter concludes as we see the Djinn observing this, Ugo in disbelief at this plan and thinking it cannot happen, that he won’t allow it.








Seven Deadly Sins 217

Diane and King are greeted by the other Sins, Meliodas included, to their shock, only mildly affected by Diane falling on him, thankfully.

Bartra is about to say something, but is interrupted by Diane and King freaking out over Meliodas, thinking he’s a ghost. After they confirm he isn’t, Ban and Meliodas comment on King’s new wings that he’s starting to sprout.

Meliodas also notices something about Diane, who confirms her memories are back, to everyone’s happiness

Diane tells Gowther than in spite of his attempt to wipe her memories, they stayed deep within her, brought forth by Demon Gowther’s magic when they saw him 3000 years ago.


With this, she says they will help Gowther find his lost heart.

Meliodas and the others are a bit confused at the mention of them seeing things from 3000 years ago, Merlin commenting that it could be a magic from the Goddess Clan (meaning it may not have been Gowther who gave Dolor and Gloxinia the magic they used, but Elizabeth or another member of the Goddess Clan)

Merlin explains to the others that Gowther did once have a heart, Bartra chiming in and revealing the magical object.



But Gowther flees, to their confusion. Merlin, curious about the heart, asks to see it, while the others move to help Gowther, Meliodas quoting one of the bylaws the Seven Deadly Sins abide by, helping one another if they’re in trouble.



As they’re moving towards Gowther, Ban asks Meliodas about his knowledge of the Sin of Lust, Meliodas explaining how he knew Demon Gowther and how his Commandment of Selflessness was given by the Demon King to him because of the power he had as a magic user. Gowther created the doll version of himself as a young boy to not arouse any lust within him and protecting him from the Commandment’s consequences should he have such a feeling of desire.

Gowther being a doll makes it harder to find him by normal means, Ban and Meliodas at their wits’ end.


We see Gowther struggling with his emotions, not remembering what happened when he lost his heart. He moves to erase his memories with Lost World, but Diane stops him with a flying kick as the chapter ends








Fairy Tail 535

Lucy starts to convulse, Gray finding she’s hot to the touch as something feels like it’s burning inside her body.

She thinks this might be the way she can save Natsu, by tracing this source to his core, Happy thinking they could possibly even overwrite the Demon part of him

Gray uses his Ice Demon Slayer magic to cool Lucy’s body, saying they’ll work together to save Natsu.



Natsu’s revival shocks Zeref, though he thinks a second wind won’t help him, since any further rewriting would probably kill the person involved according to his knowledge of the text and its power.

The Flame Dragon Slayer thanks his friends for reminding him what is truly important in this fight: it’s not his feelings, it’s protecting the guild and everyone in it. With that, Natsu is powered even more by the feeling of his guildmates.




Meanwhile, Jellal is barely pushing back Acnologia, trying desperately to move him towards the Ravines of Time to defeat him and protect Erza, ignoring her cries to get away.

Christina crashes, Acnologia beginning to crush Jellal in his claws




Natsu is punching Zeref with his newfound strength, barely damaging him, but the Dark Mage still insists that Natsu is wrong, that his Neo Eclipse plan is for everyone’s sake. Natsu retorts that all Zeref is doing is being selfish, not caring about the suffering of others.

Both of them ready their finishing moves, Natsu’s Blaze Dragon Demolition Fist and Zeref the Stygian Blast Circle, the two attacks clashing as the chapter ends.
