Dr. Stone 56

As Magma escapes from the hole as well, Senkuu jokes that if they’d been in there any longer, he’d have had to share Magma’s warmth, making Magma vomit at the thought




Senkuu is delighted when they find a skarn deposit, created by magma super heating water which then flows through limestone and reacts to various chemicals in the stones to create a “jewel case” of ores.

As Magma moves to start excavating, he thinks that he could attack Senkuu and Chrome from behind, but doesn’t, striking the stone instead. This makes Senkuu bring up how last time, Magma was apparently trying to push Senkuu out of the way from the mica caving in under his feet rather than what it initially appeared to be



Chrome apologizes, Magma saying it doesn’t matter now, since he needs to make up for his attempt at killing them, smashing through the rocks and acquiring tungsten




As they leave, Chrome comments that the bonds they’ve made are as tough, if not stronger, than the tungsten they’ve acquired, though Magma and Senkuu think that’s really corny

Magma remembers that Gen told him to bring Senkuu and Chrome back in three days, blindfolding Senkuu as they arrive at the village

Senkuu thinks they’ve betrayed him, Gen planning to give him up to Tsukasa to maintain the village’s safety



But it turns out it’s January 4th, Senkuu’s birthday and the village has put their efforts together to make a telescope. Senkuu’s amazed at it, though he wonders how Gen was able to figure out his birthday. Gen says he told him how many days he’d lived, but Senkuu says he’d still need to know how long he’d been petrified

Gen reveals that he found the date that Senkuu wrote on a wall when he came out of stone, amazed at how precise it was



He says everyone’s been like that in a way, the chapter ending as Senkuu comments that it’s a cheesy line, Gen admitting it is.





We Can’t Study 60

Yuiga meets Asumi at the local library, who asks him to get a book on a shelf she can’t reach. As he gets it, he slips, Asumi moving to help him. 



But she ends up spraining her wrist in the process, Yuiga feeling guilty about it

The two start to study, but Yuiga’s overly helpful attitude, even though Asumi’s dominant hand wasn’t injured, makes her think that there is a way he can help with the situation

She asks him to feed her like the boyfriend he’s supposed to be in her dad’s eyes, serving as a way to show them that they’re a couple



As Asumi eats, Yuiga’s worried that her father is angry, though he’s just thinking about whether they should marry in a church or a shrine

Asumi goes to work at the maid café, though this just makes Yuiga worry even more. She insists she’s fine, but as she goes to take her break, Yuiga told to take her staff meal to her, Yuiga sees that it does actually pain her more than she let on

She’s trying to study in spite of that, Yuiga impressed that she’s persisting through the pain and inconvenience

At home, they’re back to studying again, Asumi teasing Yuiga by noting that her back’s gotten sweaty from work, asking him to wipe it down for her, which means unhooking her bra



He does so, blindfolding himself to make sure he doesn’t get a peek at anything.

Asumi’s surprised at how forward he is, Yuiga saying that Fumino’s helped him try and understand a woman’s feelings, though he comments that her hiding that her injury still hurts didn’t help in his understanding her position

He says he’s upset about this, even if their relationship as lovers is fake, Asumi thinking that he’s saying something odd for him, though Yuiga doesn’t hear that

As they continue to bicker slightly, Asumi’s dad thinks that their relationship might proceed fast enough that he may see grandchildren in the future

Later on, Asumi meets up with Yuiga, Fumino, Rizu and Uruka. Yuiga’s embarrassed at meeting her, thinking that he might’ve been too forward

The chapter ends as Asumi teases him again, calling him Back Wiper, which sounds similar in Japanese to a character in a series called Moomin that embarrasses Yuiga






Black Clover 154

Asta asks if Yuno really is his rival and not an elf in his body, Yuno telling him to shut up as he tends to. Bell is excited to point out that she and Yuno both have pointy ears, which Asta pointed out before, though Asta and Yuno don’t really care

As Klaus and Hamon try to attack, Yuno pushes them back with his magic

Rhya notes that both Patri and Yuno, with Licht and another elf soul in their bodies respectively, still haven’t fully reincarnated, their dormant souls still struggling for control

Yuno notes the situation as well, his supposed allies attacking again, saying that they must destroy the humans that keep him from being able to awaken as an elf

But Yuno resists again with even more power, saying he won’t forgive them manipulating the bodies of his superiors in the Golden Dawn

Asta is amazed at this power, Yuno telling Asta that he’ll stop them, but Asta says he won’t let Yuno do it alone




Klaus and Hamon combine their magic into Chateaux De Vere, the castle structure rushing at them



But Asta and Yuno aren’t fazed at all, unleashing their strongest powers and combining their efforts to blast through their opponents’ magic as the chapter ends







One Piece 903

Sanji tells Luffy and Chopper that he doesn’t want a scientific Germa 66 item that Niji gave to Luffy, having slipped it into his pocket when he first met them



He says he doesn’t want his strength to come from science, Nami bringing up that her Sorcery Climatact is a combination of science and Usopp’s engineering.

Zeus pops out of the Climatact, Sanji bickering with the cloud, claiming he was Nami’s “slave” long before Zeus came around

As they continue fighting, Luffy and Chopper irritating Sanji by asking him to put on the Germa 66 tech, Carrot gets the newspaper

It says that Luffy, Jinbe, Sanji and Bege tried to assassinate Big Mom and Sanji’s bounty has nearly doubled to 330 million berry, 10 million higher than Zoro’s at the moment. But Sanji’s name is given as Vinsmoke Sanji, which makes him depressed to be associated with them

But Luffy’s bounty has seemingly gone down to 150 million (though I wonder if that’s the case, since Luffy could easily have misread it), the others taken aback at that, since it was 500 million before

Reverie is beginning, Neptune told by Shirahoshi that she wants to attend, not willing to let Luffy down and call her weak again

But even more important than Reverie at the moment is news that has spread of Luffy threatening Big Mom’s position as a Yonkou, having 7 pirate crews under his influence and managing to convince Germa 66, the Sun Pirates and the Fire Tank Pirates to ally together and deal a blow to Big Mom’s kingdom. This makes Luffy recognized as an unofficial 5th Emperor of the Sea

Sakazuki is told that the princess of one of the kingdoms heading to Reverie was kidnapped by pirates and we see that same crew moving in a submarine towards the ships holding Dressrosa and Prodence’s dignitaries.



They fire a torpedo at the ship, but it’s redirected, exploding harmlessly elsewhere by Coby, now a Marine Captain. The pirates are captured by Helmeppo, the princess Komane rescued as Coby looks at the newspaper, overwhelmed with emotion at seeing the pirate he met when he was still a rookie rising in the ranks this much

Various people are commenting on how Luffy has been recognized as an Emperor, such as Kaidou and Blackbeard as well as Shanks.

The chapter ends as it’s revealed that Luffy’s bounty is actually 1.5 billion Berry







Boku no Hero Academia 181

We flashback to earlier when Ectoplasm was contacted by Hound Dog about the intruders, as we learn that the cancellation of the festival is based on whether there is hostile intent

Gentle insists to Hound Dog that he just tripped, not invading at all, but the Hero recognizes the scent of one of the students



As Gentle tells Hound Dog that the student is over there, he thinks to himself that he must change his ways now, Deku having inspired him to do something for another person, La Brava in this case. Gentle always had a heart that cared for people, but he was too self-centered to realize that until now

The Gentle Criminal claims that he brainwashed La Brava, who tries to say otherwise. 



Deku tells the Heroes that Gentle was just trying to pull a prank, Snipe confirming that this appears to just be someone who trespassed on U.A. property, not an emergency situation

Gentle tells Deku that his crime spree was born from his despair of being a Hero dropout, hoping that Deku can change more peoples’ minds



Deku panics as Ectoplasm reminds him about the festival and Class 1-A’s performance in less than an hour

As he manages to get to the performance just in the nick of time, Deku thinks to himself that he and Gentle did have a similar mentality of fighting for others, Gentle for La Brava and Deku, in this context, for Eri, the chapter ending as the performance starts, Eri smiling naturally







Seven Deadly Sins 264

Sariel and Tarmiel tell Estarossa that their combined power will vaporize him so there’s no way the Demon can regenerate anymore. Estarossa seems to activate his Commandment for some purpose as we shift elsewhere



Meanwhile, the main army notices that a presence has vanished in the fight, and the soldiers ask Howzer if they should kill Derriere, since she is one of the Ten Commandments

Derriere asks Elizabeth if she knows the words that Monspiet was keeping hidden away because of his Commandment, but the Goddess says she wouldn’t be aware

The Purity mourns that she never was able to help Monspiet, who always assisted her even though she was reckless. Elizabeth says they’re similar in that respect, Meliodas making so many sacrifices for her.

Elizabeth notes that with that in mind, she has to live in a way that will do all in her power to save him, saying that Derriere knows her own feelings, so she should live her life in Monspiet’s memory

As Sariel and Tarmiel arrive, they say Estarossa is defeated, but Guila points out that the Demon is right behind them, his form more twisted than before. The Archangels are shocked, since it would require power of their level in order to escape that dimension



Hawk observes that his power level is now 88000, seemingly much stronger than before. It’s also noted by Elizabeth that he’s more deranged than before, Derriere seemingly realizing something too.

Tarmiel is surrounded by darkness, falling to the ground as he’s unable to use his Ocean Grace to shift to liquid.




Estarossa tries to grab Sariel, but his Tornado Grace blasts him back. However, to his shock, the Goddess is grabbed by the Love, his sheer force able to break past the sphere of wind. Sariel slashes the Demon in half with a wind scythe, but he’s already starting to regenerate

Tarmiel blasts Estarossa into the ground with a pillar of water, but even that isn’t stopping him

We see that Estarossa absorbed Galand’s Commandments he had from before into his body, now doing so with Monspiet’s Reticence (which Derriere recognizes), in order to increase his power so he can defeat the Archangels.



Sariel and Tarmiel are blasted through the chest with Estarossa’s power, the others retreating, Guila telling Elizabeth even she has to leave.

The chapter ends as Estarossa refers to himself as the great Meliodas, his mind seemingly even more twisted than before with the newfound power he’s acquired, his form enveloped in a garb of darkness energy.
