Dr. Stone 19

Senkuu’s amazed at Chrome’s stash of minerals, the primitive sorcerer noting that he won’t lose in terms of a collection even if he’s less of a scientist compared to Senkuu.

Kohaku just thinks they all look like rocks, but we see Senkuu and Chrome look at the individual samples, including one that’s lead. Ginrou doesn’t really see the appeal anymore than Kohaku, commenting how he used to collect bugs but is grossed out by them now.

Kinrou says it’s fine as long as they stay outside the village, Kohaku leaving to give the hot spring water to her sister.

Senkuu explains that Chrome even has cinnabar, which can be melted down to become mercury and used like a philosopher’s stone in a sense with gold. He submerges Kinrou’s spear, making it gold. But Kinrou isn’t moved by this act of kindness at first, but later thinks it’s okay as he imagines showing it off, since his name means Golden Wolf.

After seeing that Chrome has a bunch of medicinal herbs, Senkuu is told by Chrome that he’s only tested them out on himself so far, but he became a sorcerer to try and heal Ruri, Kohaku’s sister of her disease

We shift over to Ruri, thanking her sister for bringing even one jug of the water, though Turquoise and Jasper say Kohaku isn’t taking things seriously if she only brought half of what they need.

Ruri asks to talk to Kohaku alone, the other two not wanting to leave their priestess alone, though she insists since it’s her sister.

She observes that Kohaku’s knot changed, meaning she must’ve been in danger, though she starts coughing after straining herself. Ruri tells Kohaku she shouldn’t do such things for her, since she thinks she doesn’t have much time left herself.

Chrome asks Senkuu if there’s any way to heal Ruri, Senkuu saying they need more materials if he’s to even get some remote cure. But first he says he needs to tell Chrome about what happened 3700 years ago

After learning about all the amazing achievements that existed in the past, Chrome is in anguish over all the loss, but Senkuu says that he has all of humanity’s knowledge in his brain (an exaggeration, of course) and that they can bring back society together.

The chapter ends as Chrome vows to build Senkuu’s kingdom of science and defeat Ruri’s illness.

We Can’t Study 22

Yuiga’s thinking he hasn’t had as much time for his own studying. But before he can think of making time, he sees a cat stuck in a tree.

Kirisu sensei sees him climbing the tree and the cat jumps out. She dives to catch it, Yuiga impressed at her grace. But she trips, twisting her ankle, which means Yuiga has to shoulder her to her apartment, which she begrudgingly accepts.

As he moves to leave, Yuiga hears a crash from Kirisu’s apartment, opening the door to see if she’s okay. Turns out, her room is quite messy and he has to pull her out of a pile of books.

She goes to change, Yuiga still nervous about this intimacy. Kirisu comes back in her high school jersey that he saw her in before a few chapters ago.

Yuiga comments on how different her public and private clothes are, Kirisu saying she won’t try to hide it from him, though he thinks that could be interpreted oddly outside of context

Kirisu tells Yuiga to take it out, which is initially misinterprets, though she quickly reveals it was simply his textbook so they can study. The time passes by quickly, Yuiga impressed at how well she teaches and how engrossed he is.

Yuiga accidentally brushes his hand over a bra, Kirisu quickly hiding it as Yuiga asks her to let him clean.

He stumbles on a display case with awards and a picture that appears to be Kirisu sensei in the past as a figure skater.

But Kirisu tells him that the general longevity of a figure skater is quite short and she feels that she wasted her time, though she tries to pass it off as someone she knew rather than herself. She asks him if he still agrees with the idea of not encouraging a student in their talents and following their emotions instead.

Yuiga responds that even if there was failure and regret, he’d gladly support people who wanted to improve themselves even if it was more difficult. He acknowledges that Kirisu supports talent, but Yuiga supports those who are seen as lost causes, like two parallel lines.

He thanks her for the study session, Kirisu thanking him for cleaning. Yuiga brings up the awkwardness of being a male let into her room, though Kirisu dismisses him, thinking he’s trying to flirt with her or such.

As Yuiga leaves, Kirisu again worries about her façade being broken and showing vulnerability in front of a student as the chapter ends.

Black Clover 117

People are impressed at Kirsch’s magic, able to confuse the enemies, create clones and even make a path to the enemy’s crystal for Sol and Magna (which I was confused about before, thinking it was a path to their crystal, but the point was to destroy the opposing team’s crystal).

The sheer magic power he has is considered a product of his Vermillion blood, Asta amazed at it, though Kirsch still regards him as filth. He also says that Asta can’t hope to beat him with his weak container of magic, but Asta uses a metaphor regarding old containers that Sister Lily gave him, saying that they’ll last longer because of the feelings behind them, though it doesn’t quite register to Kirsch

Before the next match starts, we see Finral’s team discuss strategy, Leopold and Jamon disagreeing at first about how to fight, but the Spatial Magic user saying that they need to use his abilities to increase their mobility, Finral’s experience with the Black Bulls making him stronger.

Leopold and Jamon are impressed at how skilled Finral is, able to direct them with his magic to the best locations so they can unleash their own attacks with full force, easily winning their match

The others are impressed that the Black Bulls have this much power, Finral’s brother Langris noting how he’s changed from his cowardly self.

Sekke’s group, which also has Langris, has their match next, Sekke unsure of how well he can fight as a lower ranked knight, though Fragil, one of his teammates, says that rank doesn’t mean anything with the Black Bulls’ showing of talent

The opposing team has their strategy ready, enhancing the crystal with defensive magic and having traps set up, but Sekke, using his Bronze Magic to make the team more mobile, allows Langris to blast through the defense with his advanced Spatial Magic in one wave of his hand

The chapter concludes as Finral and Langris square off, Langris warning his brother not to take him lightly, even warning him to not disappoint someone from his past, while Finral says he’ll win to make sure such a thing doesn’t happen

Boku no Hero Academia 145

Kirishima thinks that he’s not even really a man, let alone a Hero, thinking that someone like Ashido has more of a manly spirit, willing to put their life on the life when things are dangerous. He also remembers that when his Quirk first manifest, he cut his eye and cried about how he didn’t like his Quirk. Kirishima wonders if his admiration for Crimson Riot was connected to them having a similar Quirk

He throws a book at his bookcase, knocking a hologram projector that shows an interview with Crimson Riot. His tendency to be reckless makes people wonder if he doesn’t have any fear, which the interviewer inquires about.

Crimson Riot responds he’s afraid all the time, but he pushes past it. When he was a sidekick he hesitated before and failed to save people, but that experience made him more determined than ever to rush into the fray and save people, because that’s what a Hero does. It’s not even a gender thing, in spite of him saying “manly spirit”, but just a tendency in any person to stake their life and protect citizens, to live without regrets.

Kirishima is then inspired to say he will join Yuuei, training hard along with Ashido after he apologizes to his classmates about not saving them before, though they say it’s normal to be afraid.

We see him accepted and enter Yuuei, Ashido surprised at Kirishima’s new hairstyle, comparing it to horns. Kirishima tells her he intends to say goodbye to his old self, but Ashido thinks he’s still focused on the past and needs to move on and truly become a new person.

Kirishima’s worst fear wasn’t dying in battle or the like, but reverting back to the coward he used to be.

The chapter ends as Fatgum tells Tengai and Rappa that they underestimated Red Riot, much like he did at first, but that their combined manly power will defeat them, the punch seemingly blasting through Tengai’s barrier.

Magi 355

Sinbad reiterates how he and David see the same destiny, David even noting that a singularity such as Sinbad cannot fight destiny, in spite of how much he may hesitate with the argument Alibaba gave him of forging an alliance with the other dimensions.

Ugo is shocked as Sinbad tells him to convey to Aladdin and the others that he cannot keep his promise, the two gods facing off to see who will become the god of this universe.

David thinks to himself that even if this battle goes on forever, eventually the world will be returned to the Rukh and then he will surpass his present form

Ugo moves to do something, not wanting to just be passive and wait.

Meanwhile, Alibaba and Aladdin are still fighting off the angels, observing that they’re coming from the Great Rift, Aladdin deducing that David’s real body must be there and they have to defeat him.

But as they move to stop the angels, Heliohapt’s forces, led by Sharrkan, appear to stop them. He hesitates slightly at fighting not only his student, but someone who shares a similar background of being born into royalty, exiled and yet still wanting to protect their country.

Sharrkan wonders why Alibaba is fighting him, thinking there might be something more important than returning to the Rukh.

Aladdin says that they can’t bring themselves fully to fight against people important to them, but Sharrkan insists he will do anything to protect his country.

The chapter ends as Sharrkan still wavers as to whether he is willing to do anything for his country or if the country is more important than returning to the Rukh, but Alibaba tells his master that everything is okay.

One Piece 872

We flashback to King Neptune learning that the Tamatebako will explode and that it was given to Big Mom by Luffy, hoping it won’t blow up.

In the present, the collapse of Whole Cake Chateau is causing panic both inside and outside, even the people nearby running as the building threatens to fall

Luffy’s group moves to escape, taking the opportunity provided by the confusion from the explosion and imminent destruction of the tower

Inside Bege, Nami and the others observe how Whole Cake Tower is swaying.

Outside, Bege and Caesar think this might be the best situation, since they won’t even have to directly attack them, that Big Mom and the others will die from the fall.

They flee, the people despairing at the tower about to fall on them. But suddenly Streusen uses his Devil Fruit to turn the entire tower into various ingredients, protecting people from the injury and death that would’ve occurred.

Big Mom is disappointed in spite of everyone surviving, since Streusen’s Devil Fruit doesn’t make ingredients that are especially tasty even if they make you full.

Mont D’or says they need to find the Straw Hat and Fire Tank Pirates, thinking they can’t be too far away

Bege lets everyone out, saying this is where they split up. Caesar demands some recognition, though Nami still points out how horrible he was in the past to the kids at Punk Hazard. The Gas Man is elated as Bege hands him his heart, happy to be free of that bondage

After Vito sees that everyone at Whole Cake Tower is alive, Bege notes it must’ve been Streusen and his power.

The two groups split, Bege even putting up a sign to point to where the Straw Hats are escaping as he runs away with Castle Tank

The Straw Hats split up slightly, intending to meet up back at the Sunny.

As Big Mom’s crew moves to split up and get Bege and the Straw Hats, the chapter ends as Big Mom is showing signs that she’s going to have another fit of hunger for food, only stopping when she’s sated, meaning Luffy and Bege may get away by virtue of Big Mom’s rampage occupying everyone’s attention.

Seven Deadly Sins 225

We see Peliodas, a character connected to Gowther from much earlier in the series, brazenly claim to his father that instead of offering travelers as sacrifices to the Demons, that he’ll defeat them. One of the Demons hears this, others appearing as the villagers despair at the situation, thinking they’ll be devoured along with him

Peliodas is grabbed by the Demon, but the boy isn’t afraid in spite of being beaten by him already, saying he’ll take them all out once he becomes a Holy Knight.

Suddenly, Gowther intervenes, manipulating the one Demon that was threatening Peliodas to punch himself in the face, while King takes out another bigger one with Chastiefol’s power.

Meliodas tells Merlin that even though this was out of the way, he wanted to respect Gowther’s wishes and it reflects well on them as Holy Knights to save the people.

The people are impressed at this, Peliodas convinced now that Gowther didn’t lie to him out of hate, but to protect him, using his alias as Armando before he was called back by Meliodas and the others.

Meanwhile, we see Ban face off against the demon who punched himself in the face, moving to attack the Sin of Greed, but he’s easily beaten away as Ban thinks to himself that he was too hasty in lashing out at Meliodas, as if he didn’t know the suffering of seeing the woman he loved die before him, when his friend has seen Elizabeth die many more times. 

Ban destroys the Demon, thinking that his injuries are such that he’d love to die, but can’t because of his own immortality. He also wonders what he should do as Elaine thinks to herself that Ban is a fool, likely because of how he’d be willing to sacrifice his own happiness for her life.

Gowther asks Peliodas a question in regards to what he would do if his friends were in danger and only he could save them, Peliodas saying it’s obvious, though Gowther is still confused.

Diane and Escanor both blame themselves for Elizabeth being in the state she is, but Hawk says they should focus on Meliodas suffering as he is and hope there’s a way to save Elizabeth.

The group arrives at Corand, but we see that Zeldris is protecting the dimensional distortion’s source, Meliodas moving to attack as the chapter ends

Fairy Tail 543

Gray tells everyone that all hope isn’t lost, he, Leon and Juvia moving to make a boat with their magic, while the others focus on drawing Acnologia’s attention.

The others prepare to join hands and gather their magic for Fairy Sphere and Lucy heads there. Freed and Levy move to make a massive magic circle of their own for protecting the others, while Lucy heads to Hargeon.

She remembers that this was where she first met Natsu and where their journey will start again.

Natsu still stands against Acnologia, who says his mission is not finished until he eliminates all Dragons. But this makes the Flame Dragon Slayer laugh, pointing out that Acnologia himself is a Dragon.

He says that the Dragon Slayers are still ultimately humans, the Dragons that trained them kind and noble. But Acnologia retorts that the Dragons he’s encountered were evil, sparing not even children as he unleashes more power to finish off his opponents.

But Natsu is given the powers of the other Dragon Slayers by Wendy’s enchantment and becomes the Seven Flame Dragon as he moves to conclude this battle once and for all

Outside, Fairy Tail is making the final preparations to mobilize Fairy Sphere, while Gray, Leon and Juvia have completed the boat. Erza and Mira are continuing to press against Acnologia, knocking him onto the boat.

The chapter ends as we see Lucy moving to activate Fairy Sphere, connecting everyone’s thoughts as Natsu readies his attack
