Magi chapter is delayed, so hopefully we’ll start again next week

Dr. Stone 27

Suika returns with news of the culprit behind Gen’s attempted murder: it’s Magma. We see him gloating to Mantle about killing him, though he also wanted to take out Kohaku. Now that they’ve defeated Gen, they think even Kohaku should be an easy target. He even thinks that he could make her and Ruri his women in the future, Mantle saying that’d be awesome.

Kohaku deduces that Magma must’ve thought that Gen was the outsider sorcerer that she brought rather than Senkuu, not knowing what he looked like, only having heard about him.

Chrome and Senkuu find it hilarious that Gen managed to trick him, though Kohaku finds it a bit sad, since Gen had to be beaten up. The two men say that it’s fine, claiming that men aren’t supposed to pity each other and that their laughing at him is proof that they’re friends. Senkuu still tries to say it’s just an alliance, Kohaku finding the whole thing silly.

Senkuu asks why Magma would want to kill Kohaku, the reason behind it likely being the Village Games, a tournament of fighters to determine the next chief and the spouse of Ruri, who had recently turned 18.

In between matches, Kohaku heard Magma speaking about how he doesn’t care about Ruri, just wanting the position of chief, even threatening to kill her and make it look like a suicide.

The winner of the Village Games was Kohaku, her father Obsidian enraged at the turn of events and Turquoise wondering what they’ll do about her husband

Kohaku explains that they’re redoing the games in a month, Chrome thinking that must be why Magma tried to kill Gen.

Senkuu thinks that this makes things tougher, since Magma becoming chief would mean that they couldn’t give Ruri the cure-all even if they managed to make it.

Kohaku counters, saying that if someone from the Kingdom of Science manages to beat Magma and become chief, they can marry Ruri and then give her the cure-all, as well as expand the populace of the Kingdom of Science in the process.

Kinrou and Ginrou are asked if they’ll help, Ginrou more than willing, though Kinrou speaks as if he still is obeying the rules, incidentally hearing the situation rather than asking about it directly. They both agree to start training under Kohaku, Chrome considered too weak to be trained for the tournament by Kohaku.

Chrome remembers when he vowed to help Ruri when they were younger, willing to travel anywhere to heal her disease. He says he’s fine as long as she’s healthy and happy, even if Kinrou or Ginrou marries her.

He and Senkuu focus on making the sulphonamide for Ruri, the next step actually making glass according to Senkuu. In order to do the chemistry required, earthenware won’t be good enough.

The chapter ends as Senkuu says this will help them get the melon gourd off of Suika’s head and reveal her true face, pulling it off to her shock.

We Can’t Study 30

We see that Rizu actually didn’t kiss Yuiga, hesitating at the last moment, leaving Yuiga even more confused as to why she didn’t close the distance.

The next day, the group is reviewing their tests to improve their future performance by looking at the answers they missed

Uruka and Fumino leave, Rizu and Yuiga studying alone together. Rizu asks Yuiga about a passage from a book regarding a scene where someone hesitates to kiss someone they’re interested in. She asks him why someone would hold back like that, Yuiga saying they can discuss that later.

Rizu surprises him by constantly coming close for a kiss and then pulling back, Yuiga eventually stopping her. She explains that she wanted to learn the nature of kissing through an experiment. After their accidental kiss, she thought she’d try to do it willingly but still hesitated when she tried to kiss Yuiga yesterday.

She realizes that she might have done something rather inappropriate, explaining to Yuiga that she’s always had this focus for finding an answer and it alienated her from people when it came to things that didn’t have a clear cut answer, different feelings generating multiple answers in the language arts.

Rizu asks Yuiga if she’s weird, Yuiga affirming as much. But he also qualifies that such a quirk is what makes her cool since she can be so focused on something and want to find the answer, something Yuiga lacks.

But he still chastises her for treating a kiss so lightly when he thinks it should be regarded as very important, almost sacred. Rizu agrees to tell him next time so he can help her with such questions, even saying he seems to know a lot about kissing, Yuiga embarrassed at her saying that when it’s clearly not true

Rizu notices that her anxiety about the dream with Yuiga kissing her has disappeared, the two continuing their studying session with new vigor.

The pair heads home, cicadas chirping to show that it’s still summer. Yuiga moves to get one off of Rizu’s head, which she mistakes for him leaning in for a kiss, the chapter ending as she’s angry at him confusing her.

Black Clover 125

Asta is against the wall, unable to fight both Kirsch and Magna, but Zora tells him to take out Kirsch, since he’s placed a magic circle on the crystal that reflects Magna’s spells back

Magna moves to hit it back again but the spell even duplicates the disappearing ability, blasting him, seemingly out of the match for good now.

Kirsch prepares a final attack to defeat Asta once and for all, regarding his antimagic as something worse than being a commoner.

But he’s caught in a trap that Zora placed in midair, giving Asta the opportunity to beat Kirsch down again.

Sol appears to destroy the crystal, but finds her golem can’t move, revealed to be restricted by Mimosa’s Control Magic Vine that she implanted into it while trying to attack with Sunflower.

Asta and Zora have bought enough time for the vine to allow her control of the golem, revealing the crystal that was hidden in it, Asta slashing it in two with his sword to win the match.

Zora criticizes both Sol and Magna, saying they can do better if they just focus on refining their magic and not explain their techniques respectively. And he attacks Kirsch more harshly for being so arrogant and being defeated by someone he initially wrote off and losing his composure to be defeated again.

Kirsch is approached by Mimosa, admitting to his sister that commoners can be driven to extremes, but they can be beautiful in their efforts. Mimosa admits that Kirsch has become more beautiful now in his willingness to fight beyond how he limited himself before. He begrudgingly admits to himself that the fight of Asta and Magna was beautiful in its own way.

The chapter ends as we see that Finral and Langris’ teams are the next ones to face off in the quarterfinals. 

Boku no Hero Academia 153

We flashback to Deku and Aizawa’s group trying to figure out how to get out of the labyrinth of halls that Irinaka has created. Since the drug’s worn off, his Quirk is far weaker than it was before, so they can’t get out normally, though Nighteye says he’s figured out where Eri’s room is.

But everyone’s also concerned about the League of Villains being involved, the police not wanting to let them go. Rock Lock tells Aizawa and the other Heroes to leave it to the cops, their priority to save Eri.

Deku promises to do so, Rock Lock remembering that he has his own kid and that colored his judgment of having the Yuuei kids in this mission, but they surprised him, showing that they’re just as capable Heroes as the adults, the Key Hero saying he’ll hold Deku to that.

We shift over to Toga and Twice, both wanting to get out of here, though Toga also wants to see Overhaul suffer. They think that if the Heroes meet up with the yakuza, the fight will definitely reach its end and they hope that both sides will be too weak to fight back against them

As Deku bursts into the scene, he rushes at Overhaul, punching him. The rest of the group moves to take down the yakuza leader, unable to use his Quirk due to Eraserhead’s Quirk. 

But Chrono, out of Aizawa’s field of vision, uses his Quirk to slash him with something like a hand from a clock, Chrono explaining that whoever’s damaged by it will have their movements slowed, though Deku was pushed out of the way by Aizawa at the last second

Chisaki thinks to himself that his plan worked out, using the moment he could activate his Quirk to repair Chrono’s damage so he could attack unawares.

Chisaki manages to push back the Heroes as Aizawa has to blink and turns to Nemoto, destroying them both in an instant and then fusing them together in a new monstrous form as the chapter ends with Overhaul demanding that they give Eri back to him. 

One Piece 878

We flashback to when Pedro had 50 years of his life taken by Big Mom, returned to Zou by ship. Perospero taunts him, saying he’s lived as if he’s 77 now, even though he’s only 27. He further mocks the name of the pirate crew Pedro’s part of, the Nox Pirates, meaning “night”.

Pedro retorts that every night will proceed to day, implying it’s symbolic as we see him remember meeting Roger, unable to join him to find the One Piece.

As the scene shifts back to the present, Pedro remembers that he wanted to become the groundwork for the dawn of the New World and if he has to sacrifice his life, at least he’ll choose the way he dies.

Everyone’s in shock at Pedro’s sacrifice, but Perospero’s Devil Fruit powers are negated, the Thousand Sunny freed from the candy and Brook and Chopper no longer being turned into candy. Oddly enough, even Big Mom falls unconscious for some reason, the situation ideal for the Straw Hats to escape.

Nami has to hold back Carrot, saying that this is their best chance to escape

Luffy asks Nami if they’re ready to use Coup de Burst, Nami confirming as much, Jinbe asking them how to use it, ready to set sail. Luffy emphasizes that they need to take this opportunity or they won’t be able to face Pedro

Katakuri is readying himself to attack, the vessels from Big Mom’s crew ready to unleash their assault as well.

Carrot is enraged, remembering how Pedro encouraged her to become a strong warrior and reminding her that every person will have their moment when it’s their time, alluded to before with regard to Pedro sacrificing himself.

Katakuri easily knocks down Carrot as she rushes him, Luffy insisting that their ship will sail, though Katakuri wonders if Luffy has the power to stop him

Luffy uses Gum Gum Elephant Gun, blocking Katakuri’s movement so he can’t attack anyone else.

The ship is ready to leave, Big Mom’s fleet firing their cannonballs.

But suddenly, Big Mom herself appears, threatening to take down the Thousand Sunny.

Out of the cloud of dust from the explosion, Nami is stunned to see Perospero, still alive, though barely standing as we see one of his arms was blown off along with his Candy Armor.

Luffy tells the others that he’ll meet up with them again, Jinbe initiating the Coup De Burst as the group flies into the sky, Amande reporting as such to the others.

We see that Luffy, Brulee and Katakuri went into the Mirror World, Luffy smashing the mirror that connects back to the Thousand Sunny, the chapter ending as he and Katakuri prepare to fight

Seven Deadly Sins 234

Arthur notes that Orlondi’s screaming brought another demon to their location. He dodges it, opening up a passage that Orlondi follows him into.

Suddenly, Orlondi can’t even sense Arthur’s presence anymore, wondering how he did it. But then Arthur appears behind him, to his shock.

Arthur asks about Merlin, though he thinks she’s fine and he doesn’t need to worry about her.

He opens a door, people from Camelot swarming him, concerned for their king’s well being. Orlondi is introduced as Merlin’s familiar by Arthur, but Cath, the cat that’s appeared on Arthur after his training with the Druids, mocks him, saying he’s just an eyeball.

Everyone’s celebrating as Orlondi comments that they’re so carefree in spite of demons sacrificing humans to break the Goddess Seal in Camelot’s capital. But Arthur says they need to have positive feelings so they can face the problems that they experience now, such as losing their loved ones to the demons.

But the people say that they truly believe Arthur can reclaim Camelot, Orlondi thinking that’s impossible for Arthur. Cath then lands on Orlondi, squishing him as if to mock him for making light of Arthur.

Nanashi appears, having been scouting the area. He notes how the Goddess’ Seal is weakening, 55 presences coming out of it. Arthur says he’s defeated twice that many, Nanashi praising him for his improvements, though Nanashi is credited by Arthur for his training to become this strong.

We see the demons continuing their rituals, but the group is suddenly killed by some unseen force, slashed into pieces as if by a blade.

Shifting back to Arthur, Nanashi tells him they should initiate the plan. Orlondi wonders if they’re all going to march on the capital, but Arthur says only he’ll go, needing to get something to guarantee their victory against even Zeldris.

That thing is Excalibur, the Holy Sword, something we see even Zeldris cannot pull out.

A Gray Demon reports that 100 demons have been killed, Zeldris frustrated that they still cannot figure out who does this, like some angel of death swooping on them unawares.

Suddenly, he gets a communication from the Demon King himself, who says that the Demon King is awakening, not referring to himself, but the one that will become the inheritor of his title, Meliodas.

The chapter ends as the Demon King commands Zeldris to rescue Meliodas, the new threat on the horizon for our group.
