Dr. Stone 32

Wasn’t intuitive before, but the giant tubes on Senkuu and Chrome’s backs weren’t extra containers for sulfuric acid, but part of the primitive gas mask apparatus at large, the activated charcoal and potassium carbonate serving to filter the gas as it comes in there

Ginrou is panicking at the idea of going back to the sulfuric acid lake, his silver spear turning black even worse to him than the birds dying.

But Senkuu assures him they can fix it, rubbing some alkali on it to remove the blackening from the hydrogen sulfide

As they arrive, Chrome suddenly realizes more explicitly how dangerous the situation is, where breathing even a bit of the gas means death

Meanwhile, Senkuu just goes ahead, telling Chrome that worrying will make him perspire more, which will negatively affect the ability of the gas masks to purify.

Chrome understands, but thinks Senkuu’s still being overly fearless. He notices, however, that Senkuu’s hand is shaking and sweating, both of them pushing past their fear and entering the area to collect the acid



Shifting back to the village, Ginrou is complaining about how he has to stay behind, saying Senkuu and Chrome are crazy to try this plan.

Kaseki says that Ginrou seems to be projecting his own self loathing onto them, since he’s safe, but is nonetheless insulting those who were willing to risk their lives.

He notes that a leader doesn’t have weakness, that such a thing is innate to people, since someone who responds to their fear is more likely to survive, such as from predators. But he also says that everyone seeks to not be a coward.

Ginrou thinks that’s probably true, noting to himself how Kinrou is willing to fight Magma even with his blurry vision.

Kaseki explains that reason and heart can overcome such fears, Ginrou remembering Kohaku when she asked them to save Ruri.

We see that Kaseki made an extra gas mask, leaving it aside as a hint to Ginrou, who seems to be willing to help Senkuu and Chrome now

Shifting back to the sulfuric acid lake, Senkuu’s tube for his gas mask is about to break, Chrome warning him as he quickly fixes it.

But then Chrome has suddenly slipped, about to fall into the sulfuric acid lake. It seems like he won’t make it, but Ginrou rushes onto the scene, saving him by extending his spear out so Chrome can grab on.



Ginrou is breathing heavily in his panic, Senkuu telling him to control his breathing so he can win against fear and allow the gas mask to last longer.

Chrome encourages Ginrou by saying that nature, while powerful, has no heart or mind to use, humans able to fight by focusing their will to defeat fear that nature inspires.

Ginrou then pulls Ginrou back with a second wind of strength, the chapter ending as they acquire sulfuric acid.








We Can’t Study 35

Rizu, Uruka and Yuiga are studying, Rizu leaving to help out at the udon shop. With Uruka and Yuiga alone, they have an awkward tension between them.



Yuiga confides this with Fumino, trying to say it’s about his friend when it’s clearly about Uruka. Fumino wonders about how to solve this, since she wants to support Uruka romantically as well as Rizu.

Uruka also tells Fumino about her concerns, thinking that maybe the guy’s feelings were hurt, just wanting things to be normal like they were before and not having to lie about liking someone else because of how he’s focusing on studies now.

The next day, after Uruka’s swim practice, she’s with Yuiga, the two of them still having that unease between them going on.

Fumino is nearby in disguise as the two remember that she said they could text her for help.



She says to bring up a common friend to start a conversation, the two talking about Asumi’s family clinic and how unusual it was.

Uruka blurts out about how embarrassing it was when they got rained on and the girls’ tops were see-through. Fumino reacts as well, the two almost realizing it was her, but her bra pads make her seem too different from behind.

They tell Fumino about how things took a bad turn again, Fumino moving onto another strategy, though bringing up school supplies and shrines just reminds Yuiga and Uruka of awkward moments connected to them, like a pencil bag being mixed up with Uruka’s used swimsuit and the sexual tension at the shrine when Uruka was trying to be more forward

Fumino asks Uruka about the girl and if she wants the guy to like her, Uruka confessing that she does like the guy and just wants things to go back to normal for now, willing to wait for Yuiga to finish exams, though she still insists it’s not her but her friend.

Fumino then gets a text from Sawako asking about which hairstyle Rizu would like more (seemingly pushing more hints that Sawako may have a crush on Rizu that have been throughout the series), confusing the two texts and mistakenly sending one to Sawako instead of Uruka, wanting her to be upfront about her crush on Yuiga so they can maintain their friendship.

Yuiga seemingly got the text regarding Sawako’s hair question, complimenting Uruka’s hairstyle. This makes her happy, asking him to say it again and again, Yuiga noticing that the tension is disappearing.




The chapter ends as we see that Fumino’s changed her hairstyle, seemingly developing her own feelings for Yuiga more clearly, Sawako confronting Rizu to say she doesn’t have romantic feelings for her at all, wanting to be friends, since Fumino sent her the message meant for Uruka





Black Clover 130

Langris isn’t fazed by Zora reflecting his attack back, his own magic power surging as he unleashes a counter and negates the empowered magic to everyone’s shock.



He mocks them, saying he’s truly superior to them and that their efforts were for nothing.

But Asta, his black antimagic form manifest, rushes in front of Zora, saying his actions weren’t in vain.




Langris still insists that he is beyond them, Asta acknowledging that he is special with the spatial magic he possesses rare even among nobles. He even admired the Magic Knights, similar to Zora’s father, but he also says that nobles like him shouldn’t ignore the efforts that lesser people like him have put in.

Asta reminds him that everyone here shares a common goal of wanting to protect the people and trained to become stronger so they could join the Royal Knights and protect the Clover Kingdom.

Langris ignores this, telling him that he’s just a nuisance as he readies another attack.



But Asta counters, his antimagic form negating Langris’ abilities easily as he also slashes the crystal in half, the chapter ending with his victory.







Boku no Hero Academia 157

Major additions for last chapter: something I didn’t even notice at first was that Eri was also forcing Nemoto out of Chisaki’s body, reverting him to the form he had before. Also, Mr. Compress was how Toga and Twice got out, using his Quirk to compress the area so it would make holes to slowly create an opening. This means Twice’s Quirk definitely doesn’t require touch at all, so he wasn’t lying in regards to his Quirk just needing precise information about the target to duplicate them.

Deku reaches out for Eri as Eri does the same, clinging to him, her Quirk seemingly healing him to his surprise.



Chisaki moves to get her back, Deku not able to counter as well in midair. But he still insists he won’t give up Eri, remembering how Mirio asked him what kind of Hero he wanted to be, Deku saying he wanted to be someone who saved others and never lost

Deku moves to kick with One For All’s power, Chisaki manifesting more earth spikes. But Deku and Eri suddenly disappear unexpectedly, a massive shockwave following as Deku and Eri reappear aboveground. 



Deku wonders if he overused One For All’s power, but his legs are fine, suggesting Eri’s power may be involved in some way

Chisaki wonders if Eri somehow learned to use her Quirk, saying he needs her as he moves to fuse himself with Rikiya

Ochako and the others hear from Nighteye that they need to save Deku, since he’s the target of Chisaki’s attacks. But Nighteye warns them that they can’t win even if all of them fight Chisaki together

Ochako says they won’t know unless they try. Nighteye tells Tsuyu to go where Mirio is and asks Ryukyu and Ochako to help him to the surface

Deku realizes his injuries are healed, thinking it must be Eri’s power. It starts to negatively affect him, Chisaki telling him as much.



We see that Chisaki’s new form is monstrous, more animalistic than before, multiple arms branching out and his true body in the mouth of Rikiya’s fused part of the body

Chisaki says as long as Deku holds onto Eri, she’ll revert him further, that he’s the only one who can stop it.

But Deku thinks that as long as he’s accumulating injuries like before when he used 100%, Eri’s power will keep him safe

The chapter ends as Deku manifests Full Cowl 100%, asking Eri for her assistance.







One Piece 882

Katakuri tells Luffy that many people die against their will, not because they desire to as he moves towards him.

Brulee appears behind Luffy, praising her brother’s strength, claiming he’s never been defeated and never has even laid his back on the ground.

Luffy moves to punch her, but Katakuri grabs him before he makes contact, slamming him into the wall

He stabs with his spear, even rapidly spinning it as Luffy narrowly dodges. But even as he dodges, the sheer impact causes massive damage behind him.



Katakuri explains that the spear is named Mogura, referring to a mole, also known as an earth dragon in Japanese. He says he’ll take Luffy’s parts one by one starting with his eyes, Brulee wanting him to take his neck first

Brulee thinks to herself that she knows about Luffy’s discussion with Nami due to her Mirror Mirror powers. She tells this to Perospero, who’s in shock at this revelation.

He tries to tell Big Mom, but she doesn’t listen, heading to Nuts Island instead of Cacao Island, ignoring his explanation about the wedding cake being made at the latter location

Meanwhile, Luffy is still fighting Katakuri, narrowly dodging his attacks to the Mochi Man’s irritation, since normally his Observation Haki and general power allows him to easily defeat an opponent. We see that Katakuri’s Devil Fruit is Awakened, like Doflamingo’s, as he turns the ground to mochi.



Luffy is about to initiate Gear Fourth, Katakuri seeing as such in the future to his interest

Mont D’or is confused as to why the sea slugs in the area haven’t communicated the new location of the Thousand Sunny, telling Pekoms to stop crying about Pedro’s death.

Tamago offers his condolences to the Mink for the loss of his brother. He thinks they need to be vigilant and not underestimate Luffy and the Straw Hats, since many unusual things have happened since they arrived.

The Minister of Custard reports, saying that the sea slugs haven’t reported for them either on Bege’s ship, Mont D’or telling people to go and check the sea floor immediately.

Bege’s ship, the Nostra Castello, is heading towards Cacao Island to rescue Chiffon, taking advantage of the situation with the sea slugs and Den Den Mushi communication issues.



Mont D’or receives communication from Nusstorte, who was pursuing Germa, telling him that they defeated them all, preserving the cloning technology.

But as the chapter ends with Mont D’or rejoicing at this, we see that Germa 66, seemingly just the forces of Ichiji, Niji, Yonji and Reiju, managed to defeat Big Mom’s forces and Ichiji is deceiving them as to where the Straw Hats are heading.








Magi 367

Sinbad justifies his choice of Alibaba by saying that he has the potential of crossing dimensions with his previous experience.

But Kouen disagrees with this plan, saying they should just destroy the towers. Sinbad retorts that such a thing, even if it were possible, would create a new problem: the Magi system, as well as the Djinn and Metal Vessels, would cease to exist.

With the lack of even the distinction of those that have hatred towards destiny being classified into the black rukh flow, chaos would ensue

In order to prevent this, they should seal the towers in a different dimension rather than destroy them and they can only do that by combining the Metal Vessels’ powers

Muu thinks to himself that Reim couldn’t sustain itself without the Magi system that aided them for the last 2 centuries

The others think similarly, that if they destroyed the Magi system, the world would regress to a point before it was remotely unified under the International Alliance. So their sacrifice could lead to a single King unifying the world after the chaos

Arba notes that they’re really just changing God from Sinbad to Alibaba, but thinks it might be best if they had someone the others trusted.

The others also think that it’d be best, Sinbad telling Alibaba they’re counting on him, but he refuses.



He explains that even if he weren’t to become a dictator, the world could still become chaotic again in some other way. Living based on what others expect of you only works so long as they’re aiding you, but when you lose that assistance, it starts to crumble

Alibaba says they need to decide what to do as individuals, everyone thinking that they were ruled by the expectations of people they admired in the past. He even says he falls short compared to Sinbad, Kouen and others in motivating the various countries as a leader.

Hakuryuu and Judar agree, thinking they need to confront the problem directly instead of just avoiding them with a quick solution like this.



Kougyoku and Morgiana also agree, wanting to solve things as a group.



Alibaba emphasizes that everyone, regardless of their standing, can contribute to things in this world, remembering how his friend Cassim said as much




Everyone in this world will aid in making it better, Aladdin manifesting all the Rukh, both black and white as the chapter ends with the group moving to finish things once and for all







Seven Deadly Sins 239

Chandler says such an idea of Meliodas needing allies that aren’t Demons is ridiculous, launching Grudge Blade at them, which King counters with Chastiefol. He then sends the spear at him, which Chandler Full Counters back, King managing to block it as well with the spear’s form of multiple blades, which the Demon is impressed at.

King is confident that he can fight well in this kind of battle, the others ready to defend Meliodas and Elizabeth as well.

Chandler comments that his magic is less than half now because of Gowther’s attack, meaning this is almost a fair fight in his opinion with that handicap on his side.

The group rushes him, saying that Meliodas needs Elizabeth even though Chandler claims otherwise. Diane emphasizes this as she punches Chandler, her small form seemingly not negating her strength that much.

But Chandler stops her in midair, suddenly grabbed from behind by Ban, who takes King’s rain of blades along with Chandler.



Ban still berates himself for being so cold to Meliodas, acting like his suffering was greater than the person he called his best friend.

Chandler isn’t fazed much, even knocking Ban away and slicing off his limbs temporarily, saying his immortality doesn’t mean much in this battle or against his immense power.

The Demon clashes again with King, one attack managing to get through and hit Elizabeth’s shoulder.

Diane asks why Chandler is being so reckless, since he could kill Meliodas too, but Chandler retorts that Meliodas is stronger than that, so he doesn’t have to worry.

Ban tries to attack again but is blasted away by Chandler as he did back when he fought Hendricksen as a Demon

Gowther still can’t act, the seal on Chandler’s right hand the key to it, which Hawk hears, thinking he has to do something.

King is pushed back, nearly unable to stand as Hawk suddenly starts to lick Chandler’s right hand, trying to get rid of the seal, though Chandler just smacks him away



King and the others are healed by Elizabeth with the threat of Chandler looming on them, Elizabeth saying she won’t let them be hurt anymore.

Chandler tries to attack again, but he’s managed to be affected by Gowther, the seal on his right hand seemingly distorted by Hawk in some way.

King lets loose a massive attack that seemingly defeats Chandler as the chapter ends with the Fairy King exhausted from the fight
