So Magi ended roughly this week in
Weekly Shounen Sunday, so I’ll cover the final 2 chapters now.
Dr. Stone 33
Senkuu and the others bring back the
sulfuric acid, Kohaku excited about the making of Ruri’s medicine. But Senkuu
explains to her that they still need to make the other parts before they can
start, planning to make it all in one go.
First they make hydrochloric acid with
a special glass bottle made by Kaseki. Afterwards, they take mineral deposits
Senkuu got from near the sulfuric acid lake and boil them, mixing it with the hydrochloric
acid to make chlorosulfonic acid.
Using the generator, they break down
saltwater to have the materials for sodium hydroxide. Each of these materials
is explained by Senkuu to be something dangerous, Kohaku wondering why they’d
make Ruri ingest it. But he explains that these are just for the process
itself, not the parts of the medicine she’ll take.
The ammonia needed involves Senkuu
and Chrome peeing into a bottle, Kohaku even more infuriated at this, still not
understanding that these will help make the sulfonamide
Senkuu explains that they only have
three substances remaining, but to make them, they’ll need alcohol to work
backwards.
Kaseki explains that the winner of
the tournament will have all of that they desire, the group excited since it
starts the next day
We learn that the rules don’t
prohibit Kohaku from participating again, the only limits being over 14 and
unmarried in order to ascend to the position of chief.
Jasper reveals to Kokuyou that
another competitor has entered, Ginrou explaining that it’s Senkuu, the two
intending to help out Kinrou by throwing their matches against him.
Kinrou thinks it’s dishonorable to
do so, but Kohaku doesn’t care, wanting to even the odds so they can win.
We learn that it was 5 months since
Senkuu arrived and this is the first time he enters the village proper.
The chapter ends as Ruri seems to
recognize Senkuu somehow, not sure exactly the method.
We Can’t Study 36
Rizu’s parents will be away for the
night, her father thinking she’ll be lonely, though she rebuffs his attempts at
affection.
As she heads home from summer
school, Rizu hears some girls talk about a movie at the theater where she and
Yuiga watched the romantic film before.
Yuiga is at home when he gets a
message of Rizu which sounds like she’s in danger, rushing off on his bike
Turns out she saw a horror movie by
mistake and was scared, hiding under a blanket, though she insists she’s just
perturbed at her meal being tasteless so she wanted Yuiga to keep her company
Rizu’s spooked by a gust of wind,
spilling her food on herself. She takes a shower, insisting that Yuiga stay
nearby to make sure it’s safe, though Yuiga’s embarrassed at the proximity to a
naked girl.
Suddenly, Sekijo bursts in, saying
she got Rizu’s text as well, but Rizu wasn’t responding, Rizu coming out of the
shower, both of them embarrassed at the situation.
Sekijo leaves, thinking that Rizu
and Yuiga are romantically involved, Yuiga unable to explain the situation
before she’s gone.
Rizu tells Yuiga that even if it’s
only a small possibility, if aliens or ghosts exist, she should be reasonably
afraid. Yuiga suggests they turn on the TV, but it shows a program
investigating ghostly phenomena, Rizu clinging to Yuiga.
Fumino and Uruka come by, also
getting Rizu’s text, but Fumino is the first to enter, quickly confirming
voicelessly that Yuiga and Rizu aren’t doing anything improper and covering for
him so Rizu isn’t embarrassed either, the two leaving for ramen.
Rizu tells Yuiga he should stay,
holding her hand until she falls asleep. Yuiga thinks to himself that Rizu
normally seems like a small animal or such, but he recognizes that’s she
actually beautiful in her own way too. Rizu suddenly leaps into Yuiga’s arms
again, her restless sleeping still bothersome
Suddenly, Rizu’s dad comes home,
seeing Yuiga and her in that position. Rizu wakes up the next morning, Yuiga
still holding him off as they have to explain the situation, her father
forbidden from coming within 10 meters of her again as the chapter ends.
Black Clover 131
We see that both crystals were
destroyed at the same time, the match a draw as Zora insults Langris and the
other nobles further, saying they were too arrogant, too scared or just blowing
smoke. He even admits to himself that he was in the wrong and needs to rely on
his friends more, like Asta.
Asta falls unconscious as his form
expends the rest of his energy, but is held up by his friends
We see that Luck and Lill’s teams
are the next to fight, everyone inspired to do their best.
Lill is waiting for an opportunity,
but Luck’s team combines their magic to make a massive ballista to fire a lightning
arrow that they claim can’t be blocked.
Suddenly, Lill unleashes a new
painting, God’s Play seemingly from his past, turning the attack back on them, shattering
their crystal in an instant.
Yuno’s team is the next to fight,
their match finished off panel, as expected from Yuno’s strength.
Because Asta and Langris’ match would’ve
been one of the two final matches, the true final match now is between Lill and
Yuno’s teams as the chapter ends on their imminent fight.
Boku no Hero Academia 158
We see Chisaki explain how Eri’s
Quirk was enhanced by his research to return people to a state before the Quirk
mutation evolved, rendering them Quirkless. Eri is at the center of his plan to
destroy the world’s basis on Quirks.
He attacks, but Deku at 100% power,
knocks him away with immense power. Deku thinks to himself that Eri’s lack of
control is similar to how he was when he first used One For All’s power
Meanwhile, the clone of Compress is
melting as Toga and Twice watch the fight, Uraraka taking Nighteye to the
ambulance as Ryukyu throws her up through the hole
Chisaki remembers how he clashed
with his boss in terms of how to repay his debt he felt he owed to them for
taking him in. His resolve doesn’t change, explaining to the boss about how
they can use the drugs and develop them further to make both Quirk erasing
bullets and a Quirk restoring serum through the same principle of Eri’s Quirk,
playing Heroes and Villains both to get them more money.
But the boss tells him to stop such
thinking, wondering how he can treat humans like that. Chisaki then moves
forward, saying he won’t let him stop the plans he has in mind, likely using
his Quirk to put him in the state we see him in at present.
In the present, Chisaki rages at
Deku saying Heroes don’t see the big picture of trying to radically change the
world and focus on the tiny aspect of justice instead.
Deku attacks again, recognizing that
Chisaki has a moment where he restructures himself with his Quirk, but now that
he has 100% One For All’s speed, he can push past that instant and keep
attacking him so he can’t regenerate. Deku emphasizes that he has to win to
prove that he’s All Might’s successor.
The chapter ends as Nighteye is in
shock at Deku’s power, thinking that the future he saw might have changed
Boku no Hero Academia is on break
next week for Horikoshi to do research.
One Piece 883
Luffy starts to use Gear Fourth but
is stopped by Katakuri, who says he won’t underestimate him. He uses his Awakened
Devil Fruit to turn the Mirror World into mochi, burying Luffy under it to
suffocate as he leaves, saying his snack time is already 40 minutes late
The chefs offer him the special
treat as Katakuri tells them to not enter the shrine he makes out of mochi.
They’re impressed at his diligence to focus himself.
Luffy bursts out of the mochi,
having eaten it as he runs around to burn the calories off. He then bursts
through the temple, revealing that Katakuri is actually lying on the ground
eating the donuts happily, radically different from his serious self.
The Mochi Man stabs the chefs,
saying no one is allowed to see his true self, moving to finish off Luffy as
well, using Square Mochi to seemingly toughen and enhance his attack strength.
The two clash, Luffy’s hands hurt
from the strike. He notices something as Katakuri readies his attack, suddenly kicking
him, which surprises both of them that it managed to connect. Luffy claims he’s
figured out that Katakuri has a method to his fighting style and that he’s not
invincible.
The chapter ends as Luffy dodges the
Rain Mochi attack, striking Katakuri with Gear Fourth Kong Gun.
Magi 368-9 (END)
Everyone’s still deliberating whether this is the
right thing, to destroy the Magi system and the power of the Metal Vessels by
association, but Alibaba and others are confident in spite of their misgivings,
the older Metal Vessel users convinced that they can do this.
As Aladdin is pushed to his limits by forcing back
David, we see Yunan and Titus appear to help suppress the rukh flow on the
surface.
Even the Household Vessel users appear to assist in
the fight, along with Magicians and others using their own abilities like Magoi
manipulation to fight against the angels. Everyone’s efforts combined together
shift the tide of battle.
But Aladdin is threatened by David’s upsurge of
power, Sinbad intervening to protect him.
Sinbad is finally fading away, telling Aladdin that
it’s better this way, that he should stand as a symbol for what happens when a
single king tries to dominate everything.
But Alibaba tells Sinbad that he can’t disappear
yet, that a new world without the Magi or Metal Vessels is the perfect place
for an adventurer like him.
Everyone utilizes their Extreme Magics to push back
David’s magic and destroy the towers, while Aladdin is assisted by the rukh,
Ugo, Solomon and Sheba all providing motivation to him, the chapter ending as
David is seemingly vaporized and defeated for good.
The final chapter starts with Alibaba telling
Morgiana they should get married, but she brings up that things are destroyed
and reconstruction should take priority, the wedding postponed for now to
Alibaba’s dismay.
Alibaba explains that it’s been 2 months since the
final battle, the Alibaba Trading Company assisting with the rebuilding efforts
across the world.
Olba and Toto, seemingly together romantically, are
flirting, others telling them to get back to work.
Remano is at the center of things, everyone from the
other countries meeting together to put together a new census, a new
constitution and most importantly deal with the radically changed landscape to
determine new borders for the countries.
There are massive floating islands now, everything
rearranged radically in regards to what should normally follow, even parts of
the ocean floating in midair.
Everyone is working together now to rebuild and
restore the world to some semblance of normalcy in spite of their differences.
We see Drakon has returned to his human form before
assimilating with his Metal Vessel (an event that occurred in Adventures of
Sinbad). He mourns the loss of Sinbad but thinks he can’t depend so much on his
master
Alibaba tells Hakuryuu, Muu and Takeruhiko about his
wedding being postponed, Hakuryuu thinking it was cancelled entirely, while Muu
and Takeruhiko tease him that Morgiana doesn’t love him anymore.
After running away in frustration, we see Alibaba
explaining things to Cassim’s grave. The magicians are searching for a way to
communicate across dimensions and that with that, things will truly start to
change, interacting with other worlds.
In spite of everyone being different, Alibaba thinks
that’s all the more motivation to try and change things, such a thing not a
problem so much as an opportunity.
As Alibaba returns home, he’s shocked to see
Morgiana in her wedding dress, unable to speak about what he thinks of it to
her irritation.
Aladdin says they should start the wedding,
remembering how he had to part ways with Ugo and the others as he returned to
the surface.
The chapter and series ends as we discover that the
world opened up a great deal with the Great Rift disappearing along with the
Sacred Palace, the Red Lion Fanalis in the Dark Continent appearing as well,
the journey continuing onward with Alibaba and Aladdin.
A fine end to the series, though not without some
flaws in rushing to an end of sorts or glossing over particular points. I’d
recommend the series, especially in regards to the great intellectual and
philosophical points it brings up throughout. And if you want more, then the
prequel series, Adventures of Sinbad, is being scanlated by fans. Hopefully Viz
may pick it up with Magi’s volumes eventually catching up to Japan’s in the
next year or so.
Seven Deadly Sins 240
We see Chandler with a sizeable hole in his chest as
King flashes back to meeting Meliodas, who knew that he had been falsely
accused for the killing of humans that Helbram did.
King thinks Meliodas wouldn’t understand his
suffering, having neglected his friends and family, even Diane. As he cries,
Meliodas comments that he’s impressed, not having seen a king cry over the
suffering of his subjects, saying that he’s a great king.
King remembers this as we flash forward, hoping that
he’s become even better for when he reunites with Meliodas. Diane hops on
King’s shoulder, still naked, to his embarrassment. But they wonder why she
hasn’t returned to normal size yet or why the night is still present.
Gowther falls over, apologizing to everyone and
saying that he can’t go any further.
We see that Hawk didn’t affect the seal at all, so
Chandler’s Absolute Order still affected Gowther and is destroying his body,
Elizabeth unable to heal his artificial body
Cusack is impressed that they managed to defeat
Chandler, but observes that even Chandler’s imperfect strength was enough to
cause them a loss as well
Zeldris says that Cusack doesn’t know Chandler that
well; stating that he maintains that façade of a kind natured old man, but if
he realizes that he can’t bring Meliodas back, his true nature comes out and no
one can stop him then.
Chandler stands up, his wounds healing with demonic
energy and his portly body enhancing with muscles. He even pulls out an
exceptionally long sword from his cane.
King tells the others to leave as he holds Chandler
back with Chastiefol’s Bumblebee form. He insists that Ban and the others can’t
help him and that he’d rather sacrifice himself to serve as a fitting end for
him as a king, Diane calling out to him as she’s pulled away.
Chandler unleashes an attack, breaking Chastiefol as
a massive explosion results.
However, we see that King is still alive, Gloxinia
and Dolor appearing to help King, saying that a ruler can ask for help
occasionally. They vow to protect Meliodas and Elizabeth, their old friends
from 3000 years ago
The chapter ends as the former Fairy and Giant King
face off against Chandler’s new form, ready to serve as the foundation for the
Seven Deadly Sins to save the world.
