One Piece is on break this week
Golem Hearts 14
Lamech is reading the paper and sees
the front page story about Noah and friends stopping the Riddle Golem
He’s impressed at how fast Noah’s
progressed, thinking he’s much like his wife, who he remembers from a picture.
Til, Lamech’s wife, was already rank
9 in the Arcanist Federation, while Lamech kept failing the arcanist test. She
encourages him to keep trying, saying that he’s inspired her. Her family
suffocated her with their expectations, but Lamech made her laugh and have fun.
In spite of it being more work for
her, Til says she’ll help, saying he’s made her dream of having a happy home
come true, asking him to give her a child.
The two are married and awaiting
their child, but Til is killed by an attack by a neighboring country’s golem,
unable to have seen it coming
Lamech left his village and traveled
to pursue his dreams, eventually creating Noah, even though he otherwise was
terrible at golem arts. He thinks that in a way, Noah was his attempt to bring
forth his child that he and Til would’ve had. And he’s very proud of Noah and
all that he has and will accomplish
We see Noah remaking the Riddle
Golem into a healing golem, wanting it to help people instead of hurt them.
Erebus says he doesn’t intend to
rebuild any golems, just destroying them. Noah volunteers to help Erebus by
rebuilding the golems he breaks, the two still maintaining their rivalry to
become the #1 arcanist.
Back at Chernozem Army HQ, we learn
that Garbo, the military officer who attacked Noah and Lamech at their village
is a high ranking general of the Chernozem army as well as the leader of Sodom.
The loss of the Riddle Golem in Adelaida is reported, though he doesn’t care
about that so much as the Arcanist Federation interfering with his plans
He’s also told that they’ve made
even more Riddle Golems, totaling 78. Garbo orders his subordinate to send them
to the Arcanist Federation headquarters, but warns him to keep Noah alive,
still wanting to take the special golem for himself as the chapter ends on this
threat
Dr. Stone 47
We see Hyouga and the others leave,
along with Gen, as Senkuu tells them to convey the message to Tsukasa that
they’ve made lots of guns
Kinrou is recovering thanks to
Senkuu’s medicine he made along with the sulfonamides during his experiments.
But he’s not quite at 100% the next day, still needing to rest, even though he
stubbornly insists he needs to keep watch
Senkuu assures him he can predict
when Hyouga’s group will attack again, Gen spreading the message to them that
they should attack when it rains, so they can’t use the matchlock guns he says
they’ve made
But Hyouga thinks that’s what they’d
want them to do, thinking they should go back and regroup with the rest of
Tsukasa’s army.
One of the men taunts Hyouga, saying
he’s nothing without his hollow spear, Gen curious about it, though Hyouga
tells him not to touch the attachment that seems like a bamboo pipe
Hyouga concludes that attacking is
preferable for now, since the other fighters are itching for battle and they
can serve as sacrificial pawns to figure out what the Kingdom of Science can do
Shifting back to Ishigami Village,
Senkuu has made some makeshift glasses for Kinrou, also repairing Suika’s
helmet.
But he says they need to be ready,
advising Kaseki on making something else that Gen hinted at, which excites the
blacksmith so much that he flexes his muscles and tears his clothes off.
Three days later, a storm is coming,
Hyouga’s group mobilizing to attack.
Senkuu stands waiting, Kohaku,
Kokuyou, Magma, Ginrou and Kinrou all appear behind him, brandishing Japanese
swords, to the amazement of the brawny fighters.
The chapter ends as Senkuu admits
they’re a bit shoddy, but they’ll still be far and away the better weapons in
this stone age.

Can’t Study 51
Rizu notices her bangs are getting
long and wants to fix them up. Her father interrupts her, seemingly messing up
her cut
Fumino and Uruka see Uruka the next
day, her bangs cut very straight. They say it does look a bit different, but
they try to make her feel better by saying she looks younger, though that makes
Rizu wonder if she looks like a little kid.
She isn’t fazed much, saying it’ll
grow back eventually and she can see in front of her beter.
Fumino says she should try to be a
bit more feminine, but as Rizu runs away from Yuiga as he greets everyone, she
thinks Rizu is still fairly innocent anyway
At school, Rizu is still stressing a
bit over it, but decides she should apologize to Yuiga in the afternoon.
Suddenly, Sekijou bursts into the
bathroom where Rizu’s looking in the mirror, showing off her own new hairstyle
She’s taken aback, thinking Rizu has
changed her hair as a sign of their friendship but Rizu thinks Sekijou thought
it was weird
At the study session, Yuiga is
trying to explain ancient Japanese language, but is still trying to figure out
why Rizu is suddenly wearing a weird mask over her head
Yuiga wonders if Rizu hates him,
Fumino thinking that Rizu’s not helping to progress her relationship with Yuiga
when she sends mixed signals like this
She pulls off the mask, Rizu
embarrassed at what Yuiga might think. But he seems to not recognize the
change, frustrating Fumino and Uruka
Yuiga is following Rizu, trying to
figure it out, though she says she doesn’t really care even though she
definitely does, even though she doesn’t understand why herself
Yuiga then refers to Rizu by her
first name, taking her by surprise. He insists that he’ll find out, trying to
guess, but Rizu doesn’t even seem to care anymore.
When Yuiga says Rizu’s expressions
are more diverse now, she’s also stunned, but when he says that she might have
started to trust him more, Rizu decides to lie and say that he got it right,
which makes him happy
The chapter ends as Rizu’s still
trying to process these feelings, irritated at her dad, telling him he can’t
get within 30 meters of her, which means he can’t even get into the house
Black Clover 146
Yami demands to know what Vangeance
is doing, Licht introducing himself, saying William is sleeping now.
Marx is watching from a distance,
Yami telling him to get Owen the medic to help Julius, though Licht says he
won’t survive, though he does respect the Wizard King in spite of saying they
won’t ever see eye to eye.
Licht picks up the other 2 Magic
Stones, Valtos appearing to pick up the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
Yami tries to attack with Dark
Cloaked Dimension Slash, but the group gets away, to his frustration
Julius compliments Yami as he’s
supported by the Black Bulls captain, saying that the next generations are
already showing great promise and will support his goals
Back at the Eye of the Midnight
Sun’s hideout, we see Mereoleona continue to blast Rhya, but he moves to blow
himself up with a self destruction spell
Suddenly, Asta attacks, having
discerned this after seeing Fana and Vett both trying to do it in the past,
managing to stop the magic. He asks why Rhya’s trying to do this, even
wondering why he’d attack humans if he’s human himself.
Asta wants to understand why they’re
doing this, saying he’ll hear Rhya out if he listens to Asta as well.
Mereoleona says they can’t expect to
understand each other, but Asta disagrees, saying that both of them are angry
at things being taken from them, at having their homes attacked.
The Wizard King says the same thing
as he seems to be dying, Asta reflecting this attitude, which shocks both
Mereoleona and Rhya in wanting a world with no discrimination on class or race.
The Disloyal comments that Licht said the same thing before,
thinking it might’ve been better if all humans were like that.
But the chapter ends as Rhya says
they’re too late and that they cannot be stopped now as Licht and Valtos
approach the tablet with the magic stones, their plan nearly complete
Boku no Hero Academia 172
Momo offers her piano expertise to
the band, set up for keyboard, and with Jirou on bass, the only roles left are
guitar and vocals
Ashido thinks they need to consider
staging as well, things that add to the atmosphere for the dance party. She
suggests Uraraka levitating Todoroki and Kirishima, Red Riot smashing away at
Todoroki’s ice and with Aoyama as the “disco ball”, they’ll have a big
sparkling effect, which Aoyama doesn’t really like
Deku, Tsuyu, Uraraka and Kirishima
return from supplementary lessons, Uraraka surprised that Jirou isn’t singing.
Mineta, Kirishima and Aoyama volunteer, but they’re all awful in various ways
When Jirou finally gets up the
nerve, her talent is astounding. They still need the bass and guitar, Kaminari
and Mineta wanting to, though Mineta can’t reach the fret board because he’s so
short
Tokoyami surprises everyone with his
guitar talent, the band basically wrapped up.
Mineta’s irritated at all this,
Ashido saying she’ll let him dance with the girls around him, changing his mind
quickly
At 1AM, all the parts have been
decided: Jirou, Kaminari, Tokoyami, Bakugou and Momo are the band, while Kouda,
Sero, Todoroki, Aoyama and Kirishima are the staging team, everyone else in the
dance group.
Deku meets with All Might the next
day, asking him for advice about how to fight against long range attacks, his
20% One For All only able to work as well as it did because of Eri’s
assistance. All Might says Deku should have long range attacks as well
They move to a different location,
Deku told to unleash Full Cowl at 20% and then attack from where he’s standing.
The sheer force is able to create an attack of wind pressure to Deku’s
amazement.
All Might says that Deku’s already
been able to do that since he got to 15%, but now he needs to learn to control
it and release that power in bursts that are concentrated in particular areas
rather than focused across his entire body, which just limits his mobility now.
The chapter ends as Deku resolves to
practice this and the day of the cultural festival arrives as Eri comes with
Mirio.
Seven
Deadly Sins 255
King and the others are trying to stop Merlin, who
wants to go ahead of Stigma and the others to rescue Arthur in Camelot. Escanor
is especially dismissive of Arthur, which irritates Merlin
Hawk asks why she’s willing to go so far for him,
Merlin simply saying he was chosen by the Holy Sword to lead Camelot
We shift back to Arthur facing off against Meliodas,
along with Zeldris, Cusack and Chandler.
Meliodas mocks Arthur, saying he’s much more
impressive now than when he was moaning about how he couldn’t protect Merlin,
Arthur retorting that Meliodas is no longer the person he knew
Zeldris inquires about the sword, Meliodas saying
it’s neither Demon nor Goddess in origin.
Chandler moves to attack Arthur unexpectedly, but
he’s cut in half, Cusack recognizing the sword technique from somewhere.
Cusack’s arm is sliced off, Arthur catching Cath and turning to block Zeldris’
attack.
His defense is amazing, Zeldris saying it’s like
that of a blind swordsman he saw in the past and then being pushed back by a flurry
of stabs, the move of Tartenos, another famous fighter
Meliodas says the techniques used on Chandler and
Cusack were by a swordsman by the name of Carfen.
Arthur explains that the sword was said by Merlin to
be something very dangerous, only to be used when a true threat to Camelot
appeared
Diane asks about how Excalibur chose its kings,
Merlin saying that it was originally a sword with no magical power. Carfen, in
his dying moments, cleansed the sword in blood, imbuing it with his essence.
This process continued over the millennia, eventually gaining such power from
the many warriors that it developed a will of its own, choosing worthy warriors
itself.
The chapter ends as we see that Arthur has wounded
even Meliodas and Zeldris, Merlin saying Arthur is truly a king among kings to
be chosen as the next bearer of Excalibur
