Dr. Stone 24

Gen brings up that he’s still divided between Tsukasa’s kingdom, where he can be offered a harem of women and easy work with his skills and the Senkuu’s kingdom with the scientific items they’ll make, but the difficult work involved.

Suika still thinks the ramen is better, Kohaku thinking they should lock Gen up or kill him. But Senkuu deduces that if they do either, Tsukasa will come to check on Gen and that wouldn’t be good for them.

Gen wonders why Senkuu’s so confident that he’ll convince him to join the kingdom of science. He responds by saying that he intends to build a power plant, to Gen’s disbelief.

Senkuu takes the raw copper from Chrome’s storehouse, planning to melt it down to make copper wire.

But suddenly, a storm starts to come in, Senkuu thinking this is the worst possible outcome, since they’re not ready

The villagers panic, thinking the storm is the wrath of the sky,

Gen wonders if Senkuu’s trying to make a lightning generator, but instead Senkuu notes that he needs to make a stronger magnet than the ones they made with iron sand. If lightning strikes the iron rod, they can make a high powered magnet themselves with science.

They get to work quickly, melting down the copper. Senkuu notices lacquer on Kohaku’s shield, Suika bringing some to coat the iron rod in as an insulator.

With a plank from the bridge, they make indentations to create a mold for the copper wire, which they wrap around the iron rod.

The other villagers hear about the bridge being damaged, thinking that Senkuu summoned the storm.

Magma, a tough looking guy, moves to confront them, Kohaku and Chrome saying he can’t be reasoned with.

Gen tells Suika to gather some flowers, presenting them to the opposing group and saying they want to stop the lightning, which they don’t believe. He then makes the flowers seemingly disappear using a magician’s technique called back palm, shifting them behind his hands, which distracts them.

Meanwhile, Senkuu and the others head up to the mountain where Chrome found his magnet, which they deduce must be a place where lightning often strikes.

They move to try and stand up the lightning rod with wood, but Kohaku thinks they can use Kinrou’s lance.

She steals it from him, stabbing it into the ground after tying the iron rod to it as the lightning strikes it.

Gen is impressed as the next step to making a generator is in place, his hand strongly shifting toward siding with Senkuu’s kingdom of science as the chapter ends.

We Can’t Study 27

Yuiga is walking home and runs into Kirisu sensei, who stops him. Her apartment has gotten dirty again, but worse than that, there’s a cockroach that she can’t deal with. 

It gets away, Yuiga cleaning up and moving to leave. But Kirisu stops him, saying that she doesn’t want to be here alone with the bug, offering to help him study.

Things go smoothly, Yuiga impressed at how much progress he’s making. Kirisu orders takeout, which turns out to be from Rizu’s udon shop. She decides to enter the house in spite of likely having deliveries, complimenting Kirisu on the space, even though Yuiga was the one who cleaned.

Yuiga thinks both Rizu and Kirisu are tense and awkward around each other for reasons that are likely inaccurate, such as him deducing Kirisu doesn’t want Rizu to realize she’s scared of a bug.

He suggests they play one of Rizu’s board games she brought with her to break the ice, but it only makes things worse, since Rizu still isn’t good at such things, while Kirisu handily beats her consistently.

After Kirisu leaves to make coffee, Yuiga tells Rizu that sometimes people care about others, but can’t show it well, Rizu misinterpreting this to mean that Yuiga’s implying something about himself.

He continues to emphasize his point, Rizu thinking he might be talking about Kirisu, but doesn’t see how she could care as a teacher with how harsh she is.

Suddenly, Kirisu rushes out into Yuiga’s arms, the cockroach having returned. Before Yuiga can move to stop it, Rizu smashes it instead, her restaurant experience helping her to deal with bugs.

Kirisu is thankful, though she still points out Rizu’s shortcomings when she was studying with her and Yuiga, Rizu retorting that she’s working towards overcoming them.

While Yuiga and Rizu are heading home, Rizu admits that she wasn’t trying hard enough to see other sides of Kirisu, regarding her just as the harsh tutor she remembers her as. She thanks Yuiga for bringing it to her attention and that she’ll make an effort in the future to see that a teacher’s care for the student’s success is love in its own way, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first.

The chapter ends as she asks Yuiga if he’d get rid of a bug at her place, Yuiga thinking it’d be pointless, which makes Rizu angry, making Yuiga feel awkward again about saying the wrong thing

Black Clover 122 

The elites are stunned at their defeats by Noelle and Yuno, the four leaf clover Magic Knight thinking that such nobles fall hard when they’re defeated by “lesser” opponents

Asta compliments Noelle on beating her brother, Noelle saying she was holding back, thinking to herself that she’s gotten better control of her magic, able to use Sea Dragon’s Roar 2 more times today.

The Wizard King is amazed at the matches, then signaling for mages to change the scenery with magic, turned into more rocky terrain now for the quarterfinals.

Kirsch is confident that he can still win, Mimosa telling him to not underestimate Asta. “Zechs” is thinking about how he’s up against Kirsch and his power, telling Asta and Mimosa they should try more teamwork.

But Asta noticed that “Zechs” wasn’t quite confident when they changed the scenery, thinking he must have placed traps across the whole arena. “Zechs” is impressed, since it means Asta sensed his ki changing.

He explains that he did place traps everywhere, having figured out that this was the location, though Mimosa wonders how he could’ve discovered such a hidden secret.

Asta thinks it’s not fair, but “Zechs” tells him that there’s nothing in the rules that says he couldn’t plant traps after scouting out the location, Asta begrudgingly accepting that they’ll have to proceed without him revealing the secret areas where the traps are placed.

The match starts as Kirsch says he will free Mimosa from the corrupting influence of the commoners, unleashing his Wild Blossom Storm, which Mimosa notes she can’t find any openings in, while “Zechs” doesn’t want to move hastily, preferring to wait for them to fall into his traps.

Asta decides that he has to use his antimagic sword’s full power, manifesting the demonic aura from before, to the shock of his teammates

He spins in a circle, using a technique called Black Hurricane, which lets him knock away the cherry blossoms and even destroy Zechs’ traps in the process.

The chapter ends as Asta tells “Zechs” they should work together now, his teammate frustrated, but still willing to collaborate in spite of that.

Boku no Hero Academia 150

Mirio tells Chisaki that he’s here to rescue Eri, but Overhaul brings up that he pretended to not notice she was in danger before, meaning he’s only a Hero now because he knows the facts and can fight versus when he was with Deku, playing it safe.

As they leave, Mirio rushes at them, but finds his vision is affected by someone’s Quirk, who makes him feel drunk, seemingly because he’s drinking himself, hanging from the ceiling.

Nemoto Shin, the right hand man of the Eightfold Cleansers, moves to fight Mirio, somehow forcing him to reveal how his Quirk works.

He claims he’s different from the others, invaluable because of his Quirk and talents, able to make things go smoothly even though he’s not a frontline fighter. Mirio admits out loud that he did something similar with ignoring Eri’s plight to be safe in his Hero duties, Shin’s Quirk explained to be something like hypnosis that draws out the truth from people.

And the other Cleanser, Deidoro, has a Quirk called Dead Drunk that affects the equilibrium of anyone in his area of effect.

Shin continues to press his tactics, saying that Mirio is just using Eri as an excuse for why he failed, Mirio unable to move after hearing something that rings so close to the truth

The pair move to take Mirio out but he takes them out with Phantom Menace, bouncing himself with Phasing to strike them from the walls of the narrow corridor.

He explains that he’s always known how weak he is, so he’s trained that much harder. And Deidoro’s Quirk barely affects him, since he’s always feeling vertigo when he uses his Quirk to its fullest, only feeling his mass and nothing else for those brief moments.

Mirio won’t let Eri suffer anymore, quickly moving forward and attacking Chisaki and Chronostasis, Overhaul narrowly dodging, while Eri is dropped by Chronostasis.

She tells him to stop, that Chisaki will kill him, but Mirio says he’ll protect her as the chapter ends.

Magi 360

We see more people from the International Alliance mobilize against Hakuryuu and Judal elsewhere. There’s even a magic circle allowing troops from Reim to appear on airships. Kougyoku is supported by more Household members under Kouen’s power, who say they’ll allow her to negotiate with Alibaba.

Kougyoku pleads with Alibaba as he remembers when they first met, saying they should return to the rukh together. But Alibaba refuses, saying that he won’t let them do it and he won’t return either.

The Kou Household members attack Alibaba, who narrowly dodges their assault.

The Reim airships unleash explosive barrels at Alibaba, but he absorbs the heat magic with Amon’s Metal Vessel. One of the Kou Household members lets out more flame attacks at Alibaba, thinking that he can overwhelm him with more magoi than his body can handle.

The chapter ends as Alibaba says that he’s willing to take that risk, seemingly invoking his Ultimate Magic to attack.

One Piece 877

The group is amazed at how much power Nami unleashed with Zeus in combination with her Clima Tact. But Jinbe hears Big Mom’s footsteps, the Yonkou smashing her way through the ground as she continues to demand wedding cake, unstoppable in her hunger tantrum.

As they flee, Pudding and Chiffon appear, Luffy getting angry at her arrival, since she tricked them.

But Sanji is happy to see her, Chiffon telling Pudding to tell them what she came here to say.

Pudding keeps messing up, taunting and insulting Sanji’s group instead of speaking kinder words that she intends to. Chiffon finally tells Sanji that they need his help to make a cake to stop Big Mom’s rampage.

But Pudding tries to pass it off as a coincidence, her true feeling hidden under her anger as her third eye shows again

Chiffon explains that they’ll need to go to Chocolat Town and make the cake, transporting it with a ship to distract Big Mom. But they have to occupy her until then, the Straw Hats needing to set out on Thousand Sunny to draw enemy attention.

Big Mom unleashes Nation’s Might again, the groups narrowly dodging the shockwave. 

Pudding notices the group is getting sidetracked by the Seducing Woods, using her Memo Memo Fruit’s power to make the Homies relive their memories of the previous owners with Flashback, distracting them so they can’t assault them or change the path.

But Luffy’s group sees Brook and Chopper on the Thousand Sunny, moving to help them.

Sanji, Pudding and Chiffon fly away on Rabiyan, the chapter ending as Sanji says they need to focus on making a cake so good that Big Mom will be knocked out by it.

Seven Deadly Sins 230

Missed an important point when Elaine transformed: she didn’t attack Merascylla, she pulled Ban out of her mouth

Meliodas appears to be going berserk, Elizabeth worried this might be the case. But Merlin says it’s different and Merascylla confirms Meliodas has returned to his fearful form back when he commanded the Ten Commandments

Merlin uses Perfect Cube to seal Escanor and Meliodas inside its impenetrable walls, Merascylla thanking them for making it easy for her to defeat the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Ban moves to try and take out Merascylla’s last heart, but she reveals she can move it anywhere in her body, blasting him with poison. He’s melting, able to regenerate, but not enough to fully defeat the poison, a vicious cycle that could only happen to one such as Ban.

Elaine wants to help, Elizabeth stepping in and using Invigorate to neutralize the poison on Ban.

Diane starts to use her Creation power to shift the earth around Merascylla, who narrowly dodges. She thinks that the giantess is all brawn and no brains, rushing up to attack.

But this was Diane’s plan, punching Merascylla and then smashing her with Gideon. King follows up with Chastiefol’s Bumblebee attack, the Faith thinking the attacks are like Dolor and Gloxinia’s level of strength

Merlin notes that with her snake form, Merascylla can’t fully utilize her magic power, so her fighting the Seven Deadly Sins as she is, even only 5 of them, means that she’s lost

She moves to escape, but Elaine unleashes a mass of tornados behind her, sealing off escape. Merascylla thinks Elaine is foolish to even think of killing her, since it will mean Elaine dies as well.

Gowther then quickly uses Breaker Off to paralyze her nerves for 10 seconds, all the time they need for Elizabeth to use Tranquilize, purifying the miasma from Merascylla’s body.

It’s revealed her true form is a tiny snake, smaller than even Hawk, slithering away, but captured by Merlin in a beaker for further study. Absorbing so much miasma from the Demon World is said to be what made Merascylla so powerful.

The chapter ends as Escanor and Meliodas square off, Meliodas truly in control of his mind as he calls Escanor a lowly human, which just makes the Lion’s Sin all the more ready to fight.
