Shounen Jump and Weekly Shounen Magazine will likely be taking breaks again, since it’s New Year’s, but we’ll be back to a regular schedule by January

Golem Hearts 8

The Sodom arcanist and Carles are both shocked as Noah reveals he’s a golem. But Noah ignores the insults of their attacker, used to it

The enemy golem is enhanced with Acceleration, ready to attack as it manifests the Porcupine Golem Art. As it pierces Noah’s hand, the gauntlet seems to regrow and destroys the golem breaking it into pieces

Carles asks Noah to help him, resurrecting his golem and constricting the Sodom arcanist with Amphisbaena (two headed serpent of Greek mythology). They press the arcanist to reveal where the Golem’s Tear is, revealing he had it on his person

Noah remembers that they have to help the others, but Erebus appears, saying he’ll be taking it, even if he has to force it from Noah

Egmont says they only need one individual for the Federation, but as we see the results of Erebus’ fight with the other Sodom arcanist, his power is far more immense than Noah’s, creating massive rifts in the ground from his golem’s Berserker form

Noah tells Erebus he doesn’t have time for this, throwing the Golem’s Tear into the air and breaking it into 3 pieces. Egmont’s assistant Lotte is shocked at this, but Noah responds that they can’t just think logically, or they’ll just be a regular arcanist

Since Noah’s aiming for the top, he won’t do things normally. He insists that since there are 3 pieces and Carles, Erebus and himself are here now, that means they’ve all passed.

Lotte claims that because they broke the thing they were supposed to acquire, they fail, but Noah retorts that the Federation arcanists can repair it with their skills.

Egmont acknowledges Noah’s resolve, in spite of it being foolish, telling them that all 3 of them passed as the chapter ends

Dr. Stone 41

After Ruri takes the sulfonamide, Senkuu does a quick examination, checking her lungs with the cup he used to give her the medicine, which is a slight shock to her. He hears something like a whining goat, thinking there might be water on her lungs.

He notices the corpse of a rat, bringing it to the lab for an autopsy, though Kohaku thinks that they might’ve intended to eat it, to Gen’s disgust

Senkuu thinks that there’s an inflammation of the lungs caused by germs from rats. The problem is that if it’s tuberculosis, the drug isn’t guaranteed to be able to eliminate the disease.

Suika calls everyone back, Ruri having a coughing fit that, according to Jasper, is much worse than in the past. Turquoise blames the drugs, saying that the “sorcery” is the cause of this problem with Ruri

But Senkuu thinks that what’s happened is that the germ’s special ability to spread the number of infectious bacteria, something doable by streptococcus pneumonia, meaning her disease may be something as basic as pneumonia.

The goal now is to keep utilizing the sulfonamide, but Kokuyou won’t have this, attacking Senkuu. Kohaku stops him, saying she believes in Senkuu and in science, Chrome and others echoing this sentiment

Senkuu notes that Kohaku may have been a crucial point in Ruri’s survival, the hot water baths slowing down the progress of the disease so she could live to be 18

Ruri’s health improves, Kokuyou happy at this development, his oldest daughter now able to run surprisingly fast, almost as her sister does.

Kokuyou, in gratitude to Senkuu, declares him Ishigami Village’s chief, Senkuu shocked at the village’s name

Ruri reveals that she was aware of this as well, Senkuu’s last name Ishigami, holding some significance that we still don’t know with the chapter’s conclusion

We Can’t Study 44

Rizu finds that she didn’t score very well on her practice exam, disappointed that she can’t show Yuiga any improvement

Fumino, Uruka and Asumi are all talking about the beach, Fumino dismissing it when they bring up swimsuits.

Rizu says that her scores were E’s, the other girls misunderstanding her and thinking she was talking about cup sizes. They quickly fix that mix-up, Uruka and Asumi saying that Rizu should start to understand how much influence her bust could have, since they think men tend to focus on that

Yuiga’s tutoring Rizu that night and he asks her about her scores, whether they’re E’s or F’s, Rizu thinking he’s asking her bust size, which she says is actually around a G now. 

This confuses her tutor, still trying to encourage her in spite of not knowing what the grade means. But Rizu thinks he’s still interested in her cup size, taking his words of encouragement the wrong way, even leaping to the conclusion that he wants to grab her breasts.

She offers them to Yuiga for him to feel, her father angry at the situation he sees out of context.

The two go outside, Yuiga finally being told that she was talking about test scores, to her irritation.

He says that they can still work on this, Rizu happy that he’s not that interested in her boobs, though he does glance over again, the chapter ending as Fumino is dismayed that Rizu has G-cups.

Black Clover 139

Gauche asks what the Eye of the Midnight Sun’s goons are doing here, Rades saying they came here to smash their hideout.

The Mirror Magic attack is deflected away by Sally’s Gel Magic. She says they’re not supposed to kill them even though she has no interest in them, unlike Asta.

Gauche thinks to himself that the others, Yami, Charmy, Finral and Vanessa, are all away from the base, the three of them having to protect the base themselves

Sally injects a Dark Magic Tool into one of Rades’ zombies, greatly enhancing its strength.

Gordon shows a form of his Curse magic, Poison Curse: Aufwachen Dachs (Walking Badgers), which he’s able to use fully because the enemy before him isn’t human

Grey shows off her own abilities, managing to change the Gel magic to Crystal magic with Magic Convert, Gauche sending his Reflect Ray through it to shatter the giant salamander

 

Sally is impressed at this, but Valtos helps Rades by summoning his 0th Servant, Michael Caesar

The corpse uses two types of magic, devastating the other zombies around him with tornadoes and thorns.

Rades reveals this corpse is made from two different Magic Knight Captains, a force to be reckoned with, the hideout getting holes put in it

Both Gordon and Gray remember how they felt outcast from their families, either because of their magic being seen as bizarre or not having self confidence.

But Yami and the other Black Bulls accepted them as they were, the two resolved to protect their new home. Gauche is ready to fight as well, but Rades says they can’t possibly win

Suddenly, the base seems to react to the danger, shifting around and someone coming out of a new passage as the chapter ends with their identity unknown, possibly another Black Bull member

Boku no Hero Academia 165

The training exercise continues, Bakugou frustrated as the kids have taken part of his Hero costume and Camie still not entirely understanding what to do. Present Mic and Mera tell her that as long as it’s not too dangerous, they’re free to try whatever they think is appropriate.

Present Mic asks the teacher what she wants, the stressed educator explaining that the elementary school years are essential for personality formation and they try to counsel the students accordingly. She hopes that interacting with students who have dreams to become Heroes may help them open up again.

Bakugou thinks that there must be a kid that’s the boss of sorts, creating the base for their attitudes. He suggests they find them, beat them up and show the kid how insignificant they are, Present Mic and the others shocked at this

Inasa decides to try a different approach, asking the kids if they want to become Heroes. Many respond enthusiastically, and he says that if they bother the teachers, they can’t become proper Heroes. But one of the students brings up how he’s also doing that by making the teachers and public workers like Mera hold extra training sessions, Inasa taken aback by this revelation

Bakugou insists that violence can be a motivator to problem children, but Todoroki thinks there’s another way, Bakugou remembering from the sports festival how he learned about Todoroki’s past with his father.

Endeavor tells All Might that he’s entrusted everything to his son. After he achieved the #2 Hero spot at the age of 20, he realized he couldn’t reach All Might, since he wanted to be the strongest, but couldn’t be like the Symbol of Peace

All Might says he doesn’t really know what to say, having just wanted to be a light to inspire people and show Villains that there was someone who wouldn’t give up. But he also admits that he had his flaws, pushing away people who wanted to help him, shouldering the burden on his own, such as with Nighteye.

In spite of people comparing them, he says that they need to be recognized as two separate people. Endeavor must find his own way, not just imitating All Might as Deku did, which caused his own problems.

Todoroki tries his method, seemingly showing a kind of fatherly love in Camie’s eyes, which impresses some of the girls who were angry at her, though they quickly revert back to being jealous

He starts to explain things, but it’s very rote and boring to the kids, since it’s stuff that’s going over their heads in regards to his resenting his father and not getting along well with his class initially.

Camie suggests they just show off their Quirks to really reflect their personalities and connect with the kids that way.

The kids seem to realize what’s going on, remembering that their parents and people on TV have brought up their uncertainty as to whether they can rely on Heroes. They start to bring out their own Quirks, saying their generation will be better like their parents claimed.

The chapter ends as Bakugou and the others get ready to fight as well, Present Mic shocked that they had to resort to this for grade school kids, but not saying it out loud.

One Piece 890

Everyone’s still shocked at Big Mom’s emaciated appearance, even Perospero not having seen her like this in a while.

The Yonkou starts to tear apart the Sunny, but Jinbe reveals that there is no cake, which she also starts to notice, saying she’ll kill her oldest son if it turns out to be the case.

Perospero is getting nervous, but then Big Mom moves to attack Jinbe, saying he shouldn’t call her son a liar.

Napoleon combines with Prometheus to utilize a technique called Cognac, setting the blade on fire.

Jinbe uses Haki, called Shark Skin here, but even as he manages to take the blow, Big Mom pushes him back with her own power into the ocean

As Big Mom continues to wreck the ship, she gets near the room where Carrot is, Nami shouting for her to stop. She attacks Nami with Napoleon, the navigator narrowly dodging.

Chopper protects Nami with Guard Point, Big Mom impressed at his power.

The flames have started to spread to the sails, Brooke panicking. But Jinbe uses Fishman Karate to douse the flames, Big Mom stopped temporarily as well with Prometheus being injured by the water

Then Jinbe rushes at Big Mom, using Fishman Karate’s ultimate technique, Vagabond Drill, pushing her off the ship, Zeus narrowly catching her.

Jinbe tells Brooke and the others they need to keep trying to get away, since if Perospero and the others catch them, they’ll be doomed

Nami moves to tempt Zeus again, but he zaps her. It turns out she used Mirage Tempo to make Brooke look like her, immune to lightning himself.

Big Mom starts to slash at Brooke with a longer Napoleon sword, but he shockingly asks to see her panties. This distracts Big Mom enough that Brooke can use his swordsmanship, Notch Slash, to cut through Zeus.

Nami releases Positive Charge Black Balls, unleashing another massive shock into Big Mom

Prometheus catches her as we see that Zeus is now shrunken to a much smaller size than before

Nami tells him that he should serve them or she’ll kill him, the chapter ending as Big Mom now rides on Prometheus to pursue.

Seven Deadly Sins 248

We see Cusack mourning his inability to protect Zeldris, smashing a portion of the castle with just his hand gripping it. Chandler tells him he should just straighten himself up for the future.

But Peronia steps in, telling Cusack something in secret that makes him decide he must leave. Chandler comments that Meliodas is the best candidate for Demon King, the only thing making it difficult Elizabeth’s presence

Elizabeth is begging Meliodas not to go through with this, since him becoming Demon King could still result in Elizabeth losing her memories and even if she didn’t, Meliodas would likely have to leave Britannia, the sheer power of the Demon King more than the world could bear

Meliodas says that Elizabeth doesn’t need to worry about being separated from him, claiming that her love that’s persisted through each reincarnation has only been imprinted by the Supreme Goddess’ curse, to Elizabeth’s shock. He says it’d be impossible for her to have loved only him all this time

Elizabeth says that Melidoas should have just left her if he believed that, since she’d have forgotten him anyway. But Meliodas retorts that he can’t help but love her in every form, reverting to his previous form, the demon markings no longer present.

He’s embraced by Elizabeth, who insists that she fell in love with him every time through her own free will. She says they should try to find some other way with their friends

Meliodas returns to his demonic form as he says that he feels nothing when she embraces him now, the only thing motivating him the promise he made to her that he would break their curse by any means necessary

As Meliodas tries to restrain her, she slaps him, the Sin of Wrath saying that if she wants to hit him, then she can. Elizabeth then utilizes Ark and strikes him with its power, knocking him back into a wall, smashing it out. She prepares to attack again as she says she won’t give up

We shift back to the Boar’s Hat, everyone worried about the immense magical power coming their way. But Merlin is calm and collected, saying she’ll negotiate with them, bringing out Merascylla

Zeldris is the first to arrive, not recognizing Merlin even though she seems to know him. As she reverts to her childlike appearance, Zeldris realizes who she is.

The chapter ends as we’re told that she’s been blessed by the Demon King and the Supreme Goddess, someone of immense power in the scale of the world. 

Translation here says she’s the daughter of the Demon King and Supreme Goddess, but this seems to be a mistake, since the word used in Japanese is musume, which can mean daughter, but also just a girl in general. Japanese says she has received a blessing from the Demon King and Supreme Goddess, a shukufuku
