Next new Jump Start is Shuudan by
Yokota Takuma, author of Straighten Up. Now we have even more competition for
sports manga, this one being soccer based.
U19, a series that had an
interesting premise and setting of dystopian Japan where the adults oppress
children, sadly got cancelled in Jump this issue, which makes me think
cancellation may be in the cards for another series with this recent
pattern. 22 series or so is usually the
limit in Jump
Dr. Stone 15
Taiju and Yuzuriha are still calling
out to Senkuu, but as the rain stops, they’re worried they might be attracting
Tsukasa’s attention with the noise.
But Senkuu returns to consciousness,
praising his friends for figuring things out. He emphasizes they should move
on, not focusing so much on being thankful that they don’t progress otherwise.
Yuzuriha pulls out a flag that she
put together that she thinks looks like a rocket, something that Senkuu could
use as a symbol.
She also moves to splint his neck,
though Senkuu insists he’s fine, Taiju amazed that the petrification managed to
heal in this situation, referring to it as a Dr. Stone of sorts
Senkuu thinks to himself that it is
odd, suggesting that what turned them to stone may not have been an attack,
possibly even having some restorative properties in some respect.
Yuzuriha wonders if they could still
heal those who are broken statues, Senkuu getting an idea from that.
He tells her his plan, which she
thinks is risky, Taiju asking directly what it is.
Senkuu explains that since Tsukasa
thinks he’s dead, that Taiju and Yuzuriha should join him and infiltrate his new
country as spies for Senkuu to get information on him.
The details of the plan are
something only Yuzuriha knows, Taiju told to focus on protecting her.
Taiju’s worried about Tsukasa
possibly getting access to more things, wondering how Senkuu will get his
resources to fight against him with a new scientific army. Senkuu responds that
he intends to find those groups that set the signal fires, including the girl
from before, to generate his own group.
The two split off, fighting on two
fronts as they bid a brief farewell, Taiju trusting his friend. Stopping
himself from screaming out beyond calling out Senkuu’s name, he holds up a fist
Senkuu takes the flag, tying it to a
stick and vowing to bring forth the kingdom of science as the chapter ends
Very nice turn of events, especially
because it allows for the cast to diversify without necessarily taking away
from Taiju and Yuzuriha’s contributions as well as emphasizing what Yuzuriha is
good at and can bring to this Stone World.
We Can’t Study 18
We see that Yuiga’s three students
are all improving greatly in the areas they performed poorly at initially, the
headmaster impressed at their growth.
Kobayashi and Oomori notice Yuiga smiling
to himself, asking if he’s dating one of the three girls he tutors, which Yuiga
thinks is absurd. Oomori even jokes that he would’ve gotten a kiss from them at
this point if it were him, which makes Yuiga act odd, revealing that he did
kiss someone implicitly.
Uruka’s walking down the hall
studying her vocabulary when Oomori runs past her, furious that Yuiga got a
kiss from a girl. She’s confused at this, later bringing it up when she and
Yuiga are studying interrogative questions, asking him if he’s kissed a girl.
Yuiga asks how she even knows this,
Uruka thinking he’s confirmed it as she runs off, saying she has to go to
swimming practice.
We see her on the roof, getting a
bit sad, though she blames herself for not acting before. Fumino approaches
her, Uruka asking her about the love problems under the pretense of it being
for a friend, though she’s blatantly obvious about it being her and Yuiga.
The revelation that Uruka has a
crush on Yuiga is one thing, but Fumino’s also confused about him supposedly
having a girlfriend. She encourages Uruka by saying they don’t know for certain
he has a girlfriend, so her friend can keep pursuing him.
Uruka is grateful, hugging Fumino as
Rizu finds them like that, a bit confused. As Takemoto goes to head back and
study, they hear that the rumors regarding Yuiga have spun out of control, much
more than just that he kissed a girl, suggesting they’ve been going steady or
the like.
But Uruka tries to pretend she
doesn’t care, Fumino worried how she’ll do on the upcoming tests.
Rizu drops her books, seemingly
thinking that her kiss with Yuiga at the study retreat might’ve been revealed,
Fumino curious as to why she’s acting like that.
The next day, Fumino’s scores are
improving, but Takemoto and Rizu’s have both fell back down to single digits,
Yuiga wondering what happened.
Fumino starts to piece things
together, thinking both Rizu and Takemoto like Yuiga, divided between who she
should cheer on.
The chapter ends as the headmaster
says he needs to talk to Yuiga regarding the recent rumors and such, Yuiga
worried what will happen next.
Black Clover 114
Asta yells at “Zachs”, saying he
should help them, but he responds that he’s tired and can’t function without
sleep, so it’s better for him to do this, not to mention he doesn’t really care
if they win or not
Meanwhile, we see that the Crystal
Magic user, Rick Cornell, can confirm whether someone is faking sleep or such,
able to discern their condition accurately. The other two, Forte Gris and
Curtis Warren, prepare to attack as we shift back to Asta’s group
Mimosa uses her Plant Magic to
generate a map of the area, discerning the location of their opponents and that
they’re generating more magic power to finish them off in the next assault.
Asta manages to get an idea of where
the attack is coming from and counter attacks, cutting the blast down, to
Mimosa’s shock.
She suggests they team up together,
ignoring their lazy teammate and get to the enemy’s crystal to take them down
while keeping their own crystal safe as well
The spectators are shocked that Asta’s
group is doing such a reckless strategy, Yuno confident Asta won’t lose.
Rick Cornell is shocked that Asta
and Mimosa have figured out their location and are able to push forward so
well.
Mimosa reveals her attack magic,
blasting at them with a laser from a flower she summons, blocked by a stone
wall Curtis creates.
Forte and Curtis observe that Asta
is dangerous in close range with his antimagic sword, so they decide to split
up, trying to draw their attention between them.
Mimosa figures out that Forte has
the crystal, but also observes that Rick and Curtis are generating their own
powerful attacks.
With things as they are, Asta can’t
defend against all three and any one attack would shatter their crystal.
But Asta is caught in a paralysis
trap magic that one of them set, all three attacks coming at him as the chapter
ends.
Boku no Hero Academia 142
The Cleansing Salvo is
impressed at how well Suneater uses his Quirk, but says they’ll finish him off.
Amajiki thinks that he still has
more he can utilize with how much he’s trained his Quirk; simultaneous
manifestation, size variability and precise selection of which ability to use.
He unleashes Chimera Kraken, massive
tentacles thrashing around, making it near impossible for Setsuno and Hojo to
counterattack.
But Setsuno says now it’s time for
Tabe to use his Food Quirk, which allows him to eat and consume things quickly
and effectively, digesting it near instantly as well.
Amajiki realizes that Eraserhead
knew that Tabe’s Quirk was the most dangerous against Suneater, so he took him out
to allow him to defeat the others, but he thinks he can still fight.
Trying to make a defensive mask out
of the crab qualities, it’s taken away by Setsuno’s Larceny
Hojo lands a solid blow, Amajiki
barely able to react enough to defend, pushed back further.
Tabe is moving to eat again,
Suneater manifesting the neurotoxin from the common octopus, but Setsuno steals
the tentacle away, Hojo following it up with another attack, Suneater not able
to fight as effectively
The Cleansing Salvo trio notes how
they may be considered useless, but they have strong camaraderie under the
Eight Precepts of Death. Each of them was seen as useless or was betrayed, now
wanting to be of use to Chisaki in some way because of viewing him as their
savior
Amajiki thinks this is more like
brainwashing almost, but thinks he has a way to counter them.
He first knocks some debris at
Setsuno’s eyes, blocking his vision so he can’t use Larceny, needing to see
what he wants to steal. After seemingly consuming Hojo’s crystal and gaining
some of its properties he uses him as a shield, knowing that Tabe wouldn’t eat
someone he considers a friend, slamming both of them into the wall with his
chicken leg
The chapter ends as he notes that he
can’t understand their situation, but he does know they’re not without some
goodness in them even now.
One Piece 869
As Luffy’s group moves to enter Bege’s
castle form, Big Mom’s family and associates are scrambling around themselves, Du
Feld, one of the underworld higher ups, coming across the Tamatebako
Brulee is pulled off Caesar’s back
by Katakuri, the Mochi Man, along with Smoothie, Daifuku and Oven all attacking
the Straw Hats before they can escape, grabbing Nami, Carrot and Chopper.
But Sanji motions to his family to
help, the Germa 66 putting on their Raid Armor suits, able to ignore the flames
that surround them, to Perospero’s shock.
Ichiji, Niji, Yonji and Reiju each
attack one of the Big Mom family, Nami, Carrot and Chopper freed as they run
towards Bege, Judge also going with Sanji into the Castle Man.
We see Du Feld try to open the
Tamatebako, but another shockwave from Big Mom knocks him off the tower to his
seeming demise.
Bege tries to attack Big Mom with
his cannons, but Perospero creates a candy wall. And his efforts, along with
Katakuri’s, make Bege unable to attack or move, using candy to stick him to the
ground and mochi to block the cannons from firing.
The others inside Bege are mixed in
their reactions, though Bege is especially concerned, since his castle body
makes him more vulnerable now and if he dies from the damage, his allies are
all lambs to the slaughter.
Bege reacts with immense pain as we
see Big Mom is grappling with his castle body, even breaking parts of it, the
chapter ending as she demands they all come out.
One Piece is on break next week
Magi 351
We see Katargo, a province of the
Reim Empire, where the villagers seem to speak Torran from the previous world.
An angelic shaped figure comes out
of a cage of black rukh that surrounds the area and slices down a massive
sword, creating a black circle that seems to vaporize the people, draining
their rukh away to some unknown location (possibly the Sacred Palace)
Back in the Sacred Palace, the
others are confused at the magic that’s meant to return everyone to the rukh
flow still working, Hakuryuu and Judar also appearing as Ugo speculates someone
else is manipulating the system of the Sacred Palace
Aladdin asks if someone else could
be doing it, though Ugo thinks it’s impossible, since Sinbad’s the guardian of
the Sacred Palace ultimately.
But suddenly the ceiling is broken
and we see David grab Ugo, revealing he’s still somehow above this world as a
god
He explains to Ugo that he used the
same magic Ugo did to change the positioning of gods in the hierarchy on Ill
Illah in the past, stealing the guardian position from Sinbad and reactivating
the magic.
It’s thanks to Ugo that David can
build on that to create things as they are now. He comments that he used to
view Sinbad as his God, but with Sinbad changing his mind, he thinks that
Sinbad’s merely become another rock, someone who doesn’t want to move forward
anymore to complete David’s plan
He reemphasizes that he will
complete Sinbad’s plan in his place, summoning more angels across the world as
Ugo is paralyzed with confusion.
The chapter ends as we see that
Aladdin’s group has moved forward, saying they will stop David.
Seven Deadly Sins 221
Elizabeth’s older sister Margaret,
Bartra’s eldest daughter, is told by her servants that she shouldn’t leave, but
she insists that she must find Gilthunder and Vivian
Meliodas is impressed that Margaret
would do such a thing but thinks it makes sense with Gilthunder being her lover
and such.
He admires the view, Elizabeth
saying she doesn’t remember being here with him when she was younger.
But Elizabeth brings up how she saw
the past through Zaratras and that Liz, Meliodas’ lover, died around the same
time that Elizabeth was found as a baby.
Meliodas tries to pass it off as a
coincidence, but Elizabeth notes Diane and King’s mention of meeting someone that
looked just like Elizabeth 3000 years ago, the Sin of Wrath reacting as if
she’s coming closer to the truth.
Elizabeth admits the idea is still
unthinkable to her, Meliodas noting she might be over-thinking this and needs
to rest.
But Elizabeth also remembers that
Derriere recognized her as someone else from 3000 years ago, everything
seemingly linked together to the past and something she doesn’t know.
Meliodas still plays dumb, claiming
he doesn’t remember anything regarding that, Elizabeth leaving him as she says
she trusts him not to lie to her.
King and Ban were nearby, not quite
hearing the conversation, but observe that the two of them seemed to be
fighting. The Fairy King was asking Ban how to propose to someone and they just
happened to be in the area.
Ban asks what caused such a
disagreement between Meliodas and Elizabeth, Meliodas knocking them both away
as he thinks to himself that even if Elizabeth is willing to listen to what he
has to say, he’s not fully ready to disclose it himself.
We shift over to Hendricksen and
Escanor looking over Merlin, who seems to be sick, affected by what the Druid
Knight thinks is some sort of curse, too powerful for him to do anything about.
But Hendricksen thinks of Elizabeth,
calling her to help Merlin with her powers, which we’ve learned before were
truly the Goddess Clan’s rather than the Druids, which are only a close
approximation.
As Elizabeth uses her Ark power, she
enters into Merlin’s soul, seemingly engulfed in pitch black darkness.
Suddenly, she encounters Zeldris,
who refers to her by name, even though she herself doesn’t’ remember meeting
him at all.
The chapter ends as Zeldris calls
her the Cursed Goddess and asks why she continues to bother Meliodas.
Fairy Tail 539
The others in Erza’s group notice the crack in the
sky, shocked that Acnologia could possibly break out after all the sacrifices
they made.
But Acnologia shatters free of the Ravines of Time,
breaking out, feeling the power of the time magic he devoured flowing through
him.
The Apocalypse Dragon unleashes Eternal Flare,
seemingly innumerable blasts raining across all of Isghar, destroying
everything.
Erza is knocked underwater, but she swims back to
the surface, refusing to give up.
But she sees Wendy attacked by Acnologia, who says
he will devour all Dragon Slayers and become a Perfect Extinction Dragon.
We shift over to see the other Dragon Slayers
affected similarly, also explaining why Natsu disappeared earlier
The chapter ends as we see Natsu awaken in an
unknown place, explained by Acnologia in his human Dragon Slayer form to be the
Ravines of Time, now under his control
