Dr. Stone 57

Suika is amazed at how the telescope lets her see so far, Senkuu warning her not to point it at the sun

The scheelite glows blue as expected, though Kokuyou, Kohaku and Ruri’s father, doesn’t understand why they need the stones, thinking they’re for throwing.

Gen and Senkuu reiterate that with this tungsten in the scheelite, they can make the vacuum tube resistant to the heat it generates so they can make the cellphone

Kohaku asks how they’ll get it out, but before Senkuu can explain, Magma starts smashing it, which Senkuu admits is part of the process, though Ruri and Kohaku think he was a bit too reckless

Kokuyou is impressed that Magma is willingly cooperating, Senkuu not saying what happened in the cave

Afterwards, they take the blue dust and Senkuu does some process that Gen says they wouldn’t understand anyway. The last step is to remove the impurities with hydrogen and they’ll have tungsten

To do that, they need to heat it up, but in such a way that they don’t damage the glass container, needing more precise equipment. Senkuu suggests splitting up the work, Chrome tasked with making the equipment with his scientific skills

Kaseki says he’s jealous of them, having worked alone as a craftsman from an early age, but not having anyone that was a kindred spirit. Chrome says he and Senkuu are like his crafting friends. This makes his overjoyed and crying in happiness

Senkuu tries to explain the process of preparing the crushed scheelite, but Gen only understands the mixing with honey at the end.

Chrome reveals his plan, using a lens like the tactic he managed to win against Magma in the tournament with. But it needs more power generated to increase the heat it produces, even Kohaku and Magma’s power only getting to iron’s temperature. Chrome decides to throw in electric power to increase the intensity of the heat as well

As Senkuu and Gen come back with the scheelite mixture they refer to as like toothpaste, Chrome reveals the setup, Senkuu saying it’ll work great, since the electrified water creates hydrogen that will remove the impurities

The chapter concludes as we see that with everyone combining their efforts, they’ve finally acquired a tungsten filament for the cellphone

We Can’t Study 61

The chapter starts after a popularity poll where Mafuyu placed first, Fumino losing that place by over 1K votes.

Rizu and Fumino, along with Yuiga, are going to do mock interviews for university, though it’s especially nerve-wracking for Rizu, socially awkward as she is.

Fumino and Yuiga try to make her feel better, Fumino bringing up that they’ll be interviewing with Fujita-sensei, a nice math teacher.

But it turns out that Mafuyu has to substitute for Fujita sensei, who has fallen ill. Fumino and Rizu almost bolt, going to get udon instead, but Yuiga stops them

Rizu is first, explaining that she wants to study psychology to help her better understand human social complexities.

Mafuyu seems to praise her at first, but then brings up that she doesn’t appear to have a solid career plan in mind and that she might do better in math or science, Rizu freezing up

Fumino does a bit better, but Mafuyu brings up similar shortcomings that she has, such as not being able to apply her subjects she excels in to her studies in astronomy

Both of them are despondent after the interviews, Yuiga trying to cheer them up

He’s drawn into the interview next by Mafuyu, who quickly advises him about posture and such being just as important as your answers in the interview itself

Yuiga tries to calm down by imagining Mafuyu in her jersey, but instead sees her in her school swimsuit, then changing to the maid outfit instead as he panics, the outfits changing more and ending on a Chinese qipao dress.

Mafuyu asks him why he wants to go to the university and he answers adequately, but when she inquires about his strengths, he answers with something unrelated to studying, which Mafuyu quickly rejects. She emphasizes that he needs to answer based on something that will make the university interested in admitting him

Yuiga says he may not have anything he’s good at, starting to leave. But Mafuyu stops him, saying that his willingness to accept his faults and improve himself from them may be seen as a sort of strength itself, his tutoring a testament to that. Yuiga leaves, Mafuyu thinking that question for interviews is problematic, since even adults don’t necessarily know their own strengths

The chapter ends as Fumino and Rizu are more determined to ace their next interviews, Yuiga thinking to himself that Mafuyu has been the only one to point out that he has a talent for improving himself after recognizing his weakness besides his late father.

Black Clover 155

As Klaus and Hamon are defeated, Rhya is impressed, especially with Yuno not having awakened even though the reincarnation magic has increased his overall abilities, though it makes both him and Asta a formidable team

But as Patri sees his allies beaten, Licht appears to awaken, using sheer mana concentration to levitate them and himself into the air. He manifests a sword, similar to Asta’s in how black it is, but that starts to come off, glowing white.

Yuno warns Asta about the mana power emitting from the sword, the wave of power knocking them back.

Asta is ready to fight back, but Licht moves faster than even his ki detection can perceive, touching his magic absorption sword and making it become white as well. He blasts them back with another wave of mana, using a series of cutting techniques, taking Asta’s sword in the process

Asta is wounded, barely able to stand, Yuno utilizing one of Sylph’s magic attacks, but Licht uses the Demon Dwelling sword to absorb it and turn it back on Yuno

Yuno then tries an attack from behind Licht using Mana Zone, Licht stabbing it with one of the swords

But as he’s distracted, Asta rushes at him from behind Yuno, ready to attack in a combo with Yuno as the chapter ends

One Piece 904

We see that the Revolutionary Army has been forced to move their headquarters to Kamabakka Kingdom. Some of the executives are late, but Sabo and Dragon decide to move ahead with their plans, which involve attacking Reverie as a way of declaring war on the Celestial Dragons

Meanwhile in the Kingdom of Lulusia, Pinkbeard, given that title by Blackbeard, is attacking, telling his men to search for the Celestial Gold he hears about that the town gives to the Celestial Dragons

But suddenly a Giant bursts from the ground called Morley, hinted at before by Sabo as a Revolutionary, along with Belo Betty, Lindbergh and Karasu, the 4 leaders of the armies from the 4 Cardinal Directions

The commanders, using their various abilities, help the people to fight against them, Belo Betty’s Cheer Cheer Fruit letting her bring out courage in them, while the others utilize inventions or Devil Fruit abilities.

The chapter concludes as they move to meet up with Sabo and Dragon, as we’re told Reverie is still in 2 days.

Boku no Hero Academia 182

We flashback to when Deku arrived at the cultural festival, Aoyama wondering what happened. Deku is told by Ectoplasm he needs to clean up a bit, not wanting to worry the audience

Aizawa and Present Mic are in the audience, Aizawa commenting that some of the viewers are upperclassmen who want to be critical of Class 1-A. We see a few commenting that this feels like self satisfaction for the class of up and coming Heroes

But when the performance starts, people are amazed, the beginning explosive with Bakugou and Jirou’s Quirks aiding in that effect

Deku and Aoyama do a slight variation on their routine, Aoyama’s Quirk letting him do what people say is like human fireworks, Eri amazed at it when it happens

Everyone combines their efforts to make an even more amazing finale, Uraraka even floating people into the air with her Quirk, Sero keeping them stable with his tape

Jirou remembers how she told her parents that she wanted to be a Hero rather than a musician, but they accept it, saying that the two aren’t entirely different, both something that can help others

Eri, in spite of Chisaki’s hold on her mind, is able to break free for a moment, smiling and crying out in happiness at the performance as the chapter ends

Seven Deadly Sins 265

The chapter starts with a flashback of Elizabeth meeting Estarossa when he was younger (though he looks a lot like Meliodas in the present), asking if he had a fight with his older brother again. Estarossa says he’s an embarrassment, since he’s so weak.

Elizabeth picks up a dog that had been injured, now recovered and happy. Estarossa says he will become strong and end this war. He thinks to himself that he’d always loved Elizabeth, likely because of the kindness she showed him.

But as we continue forward, Estarossa happy to be acknowledged by Meliodas as they fought together and then discovering that Meliodas was Elizabeth’s lover, we learn Estarossa wanted to be his brother, jealous of him, maybe even resenting him.

In the present we see Estarossa again claim he is Meliodas, Elizabeth confused, since she seems to remember him, but can’t recall from where, possibly because he and Meliodas looked so similar in the past.

Estarossa says he’s happy to see Elizabeth, Guila moving to protect her. He tells Derriere that he’s here to take her Commandment. Derriere tells the others that Estarossa already has 3 Commandments, which would have normally killed him except that he’s managed to retain his form somehow as the son of the Demon King like Zeldris and Meliodas are.

He rushes at Derriere, Guila unleashing an attack to stop him. The explosion still hasn’t cleared, but Diane senses danger, making a Diamond Shield in front of them to stop the Demon’s attack

King throws Chastiefol’s spear form at Estarossa as well, but we see that Derriere is somehow attacked and the shield is slashed in half, Guila wounded by the attack as well and Estarossa unaffected by King’s attack

Sariel and Tarmiel combine their efforts, slashing Estarossa from both sides, but he spins his body around, slashing them in return

.

He tells Elizabeth he wants to be somewhere quieter, threatening to kill everyone around him.

But Elizabeth tells Diane and King to stop, that she’ll go with Estarossa.

The chapter ends as Estarossa flies off with Elizabeth, the situation growing worse for the battle between the brothers as well as the Goddess Alliance and the Demon Clan.
