Dr. Stone 62

Chrome’s group heads out, thinking that this explosion will draw out Homura and, as long as Senkuu and the others keep her occupied, they can get the cell phone to Tsukasa’s kingdom

Suika spots where Homura is moving, Kohaku rushing to stop her. Homura narrowly dodges using gymnastics, indicating that she’s from the past by her scarring (which only people revived from stone have) and this knowledge.

Kohaku chases Homura towards the village, their plan to surround her, since she’s so fast otherwise.

Senkuu throws a flashbulb he made into the air, covering his own eyes with goggles as he unleashes the light, letting him pin Homura to the ground in the distraction, though this means Kohaku is out of commission for a bit

But she manages to escape, her gymnast strength able to overwhelm Senkuu easily, managing to escape up to a tree, where she lists off many of the villager’s names, having figured them out through observation

When Homura realizes Gen, Chrome and Magma aren’t there, she starts to piece things together as to where they are and what they’re doing, chasing after the group

Senkuu and the others decide they have to pursue as well, Senkuu revealing a lamp and also that he must’ve put something on Homura in the struggle, her trail lit up by patches of light where she’s stepped (possibly magnesium?) as the chapter ends on their chase of Tsukasa’s agent

We Never Learn 66

It is indeed Mafuyu dancing with Umihara and Kawase that shocked Rizu at the end of last chapter as we flashback to an explanation of what happened

Yuiga thinks that this would be the best solution, Uruka thinking it’ll be fine

But Kawase and Umihara wonder if Mafuyu could even memorize the choreography before the show starts in a few hours

Kirisu-sensei indeed manages to do so by viewing the video, amazing the other students.

But since Uruka would have to go out in a t shirt, Yuiga has another idea to help with that

The show is a hit, especially with fans of Full Pure, recognizing that Uruka is in a costume inspired by a brand new character, Full Pure Darkness. Yuiga, using spare black fabric from the haunted house, threw it together from remembering the appearance when he saw the show with his sister.

Uruka’s singing, surprisingly good, manages to cover up that Mafuyu is just lip syncing, unwilling to sing herself; while Mafuyu’s moves are amazing to students who just knew her as a teacher.

As the show concludes, Uruka, using the audience’s excitement, convinces them to eat the udon that Rizu brought and promote the class’s shop in the process

Afterwards, Yuiga thanks Mafuyu, wondering if she made some memories, though she says it’s unnecessary. Uruka is happy to have worn Yuiga’s handmade costume, which Kawase and Umihara tease her about.

As Mafuyu leaves for her lecture, Yuiga notices a stray thread, pulling it. This makes Mafuyu’s costume fall apart, Uruka thinking it was an attempt to imitate the transformation

Yuiga is still wondering how to sell more udon, Kashima from Fumino’s class approaching him and saying she could help.

She takes him to the dressing room, where he puts on a bizarre costume that doesn’t seem to match with him being a prince that would kiss Furuhashi (though he just thinks he’s helping in another way apart from performing).

As Yuiga leaves, the teachers that were looking for Mafuyu’s costume find him, the outfit he has the one intended for her instead.

Kashima is told about Yuiga disappearing, the chapter ending as we see Fumino in costume waiting for the play to begin as Kashima’s cronies go to find the prince.

Fire Force 130

When Joker asks what the notebook is, Burns says it’s the diary of a high ranking official in the Church of the Holy Sol, Raffles I’s wife

The rumored holy scriptures don’t exist, Burns having investigated as well after the Adora Link incident

All he could find was this notebook, explaining the founding of the Tokyo Empire and the Church of the Holy Sol from the founder’s wife’s perspective.

Shinmon says this doesn’t seem to reveal anything new, but looking closer, it reveals that Raffles I’s wife observed that her husband behaved differently after he returned.

This reminds the 7th Brigade Captain about one of the Preacher’s followers who could use heat to alter their appearance and impersonate anyone, meaning that this could be the same individual. Since Infernals can live indefinitely, this whole religion could have been founded by the Preacher to keep people in line

The destruction of the caravan with Raffles I and his behavior afterwards makes this theory add up, but very few people know the truth, not even Raffles III

We shift to the Preacher’s group, Inka, the newest recruit who can see the threads of flames and see the future of such conflagrations, shocked at Jonah’s ability to make himself appear as Raffles III. He says it was indeed the Preacher who told him to found the Church of the Holy Sol 250 years ago, leading humans to Adora for whatever plans they have

Back with Burns, Joker and Shinmon, they conclude that their real target is the Preacher’s group, Burns saying he’ll deal with the situation at the church, no real consequences coming from it, since only one person died and they’re in the shadows anyway

The next step is to investigate Haijima Industries, connected to the Preacher in some way with their construction of the Amaterasu reactor.

Shinmon is concerned, since Konrou, his superior, requires treatments for his Ash Sickness (happening when one overuses 3rd Generation powers), but Joker says that Haijima could refuse such things after the reveal of their attack anyway

Burns says he can’t do anything with Haijima, his connections lying with the Church

Back at Haijima, we see workers talking about how their “dolls” aren’t giving good results, but one has potential, awakened by one of the traitors from Burns’ division, Rekka, a while ago in the story. A boy called Nataku Son is shown to be almost a zombie after the bug that awakened him as a special Infernal was given to him, the chapter ending on this reveal

Black Clover 161

Luck has transformed after his revival from defeat, moving faster than Magna can see, stabbing him in the stomach with an attack

But Vanessa’s String magic effect from Rouge makes it so that Luck misses, the elf wondering who will last longer in this battle

It seems that Luck has won, holding up Magna by the throat as he mocks their weakness.

But Magna and Vanessa are still willing to fight, saying that they won’t give up on trying to save Luck.

The elf thinks this is pathetic, since he believes humans are innately traitorous to each other, saying that Luck’s soul is disappearing and that their human bond is worthless

Magna counters that such a thing doesn’t make sense with Luck crying, his soul still there.

The two insist that Luck is fighting, but the elf moves to kill Magna

Rouge uses the last of its magic to create a situation where Asta has managed to arrive, knocking away Luck’s attack

The chapter ends as Asta reflects the same sentiment as the other Black Bulls, that they are Luck’s friends, ready to fight and free him

One Piece 908

Shirahoshi’s minor injuries are healed by Mansherry, the two princess’ sizes a massive gap that makes it more amusing for the others to see. Neptune thanks Mjosgard for helping them, the World Noble promising that he will stay by Shirahoshi’s side to help the Fishmen.

Vivi, approached by Pell, her guardian, asks where her father went, the Falcon Zoan user saying that he went to meet with King Riku and Fujitora, having been given a letter

Meanwhile, Charlos is approaching the Celestial Dragon gate to enter their area, his father meeting up with him as his servants explain what happened.  Rosward comments that all the Donquixote family are crazy, such as Doflamingo’s father who left 30 years ago and Mjosgard, who doesn’t own a single slave

The Queen Dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom slips in as the two discuss things, Kuma, Rosward’s slave for the day, revealed to have been a former king himself and seen as an ideal slave with his situation as a cyborg, not feeling pain anymore.

But it turns out Jewelry Bonny was the Queen Dowager, seemingly connected in some way to Kuma.

Sabo and 3 of the Revolutionary Army captains, minus Bello Betty, prepare to start their own mission, wanting to get revenge for Kuma, one of their allies, being turned into a cyborg by the World Government to serve as an example to the other rulers.

Reverie begins, the 50 representatives from the 170 countries in the World Government talking about the situation with Luffy as well as Wano being a non-allied country, suggesting that it could be a lawless area

The Five Elders (Gorousei in Japanese) wonder about how the stability of the world can be maintained, especially with the Nefeltari family, the only one of the 20 founding families that didn’t become World Nobles, seen as traitors to the World Government

The chapter ends as we see the person from the end of last chapter sit on the Empty Throne, the Gorousei asking him, called Im-sama, if they know the name of the “Light” that must be extinguished to keep the balance of the World Government’s power. 

One Piece is on break next week

My Hero Academia 187

The chapter begins as we meet up with and learn the names of some of Todoroki’s family, including his sister that we saw before and one of his brothers, Fuyumi and Natsuo respectively. His mother, Rei, is also there, the three of them talking about Shoto and how he’s working hard at Yuuei.

But Natsuo brings up how Endeavor has become #1 and the situation with his family. Fuyumi tries to stop him, but Rei says it’s fine. Natsuo comments on how he doesn’t even feel any connection with his father and he’s furious at how Endeavor hasn’t given any sort of apology or attempt at reconciliation with his youngest son and his wife.

Rei says Endeavor’s trying to change, though she still hasn’t met him face to face, even ten years later, her trauma still too deep. Her husband brought a flower to her hospital room that she said she liked once in the past

She says that Endeavor is probably making an attempt to face the bad things he’s done as we shift to his fight

Endeavor, still floating in the air with his flames, observes how the Noumu, High End, regenerates from the damage he did. He remembers the reports, only the black Noumu having these kinds of special abilities

But as the Hellflame Hero tries to bind the Noumu, since it can talk, wanting to ask it questions, High End grabs and pushes him through the building, much faster and stronger with its abilities, such as stretching its limbs.

Hawks manages to save the people as the top of the building starts to collapse with the damage from High End and Endeavor fighting, his Quirk, Mighty Wings, letting him manipulate his feathers, super dense and numerous.

The chapter ends as Endeavor has made another attempt to bind High End, surrounding him with flames as Hawks asks if this is his final move, which the #1 Hero says is absurd to even ask.

Seven Deadly Sins 271

Meliodas and Ban wonder if Wild is talking about Hawk, though the Purgatory pig says that his brother’s name was Mild, but he was lost after he was born, so he could’ve forgotten his own name

He inquires if the two have met someone like him, Meliodas confirming as much, which makes Wild cry with joy

The group goes to his hut, shaped like himself and furnished with lots of things, Wild offering a gross tea made from warts of a monster from Purgatory

Wild explains that Hawk was taken away by the Demon King millions of years ago, the amount of time only making sense because of the discrepancy between the flow of time in each world.

Meliodas thinks that Hawk was chosen because he had a connection to Purgatory, letting the Demon King be able to keep an eye on him

Before that, there were animals in the real world, like Waddle the parrot we saw in flashbacks, but they didn’t last long, so using a Purgatory beast was the best choice

This makes Meliodas recall how tough Hawk is, even taking an attack from the demonified Hendricksen before and surviving.

Meliodas and Ban tell Wild more about his estranged brother, which makes him excited, though him being so different does shock him for a bit.

In the end, Wild says it doesn’t matter, because Hawk is his precious little brother, Meliodas happy to hear that.

Wild was so determined to find Hawk that he fought the Demon King, never able to win in over 12K battles

Ban brings up that Meliodas has a little brother as well (technically 2), Zeldris, not wanting to pry into his friend’s past, but observing that Meliodas had a strange expression when he heard about Wild’s love for his own brother.

Meliodas says that the story isn’t that interesting, but he’ll tell it anyway

He was considered the next Demon King, Commander of the Ten Commandments and Zeldris, revealed to be the youngest brother, not Estarossa, idolized his brother even more than the middle brother.

Meliodas didn’t understand why Zeldris admired him so much until he met Elizabeth, finally understanding the feeling of having someone to protect and that considered you precious as well

Zeldris had someone precious to him as well, Meliodas learning from that experience.

But as opposed to Zeldris, who was cold-hearted in his pursuit of war, Meliodas sought to end the war, but his betrayal with Elizabeth was part of what caused the Holy War 3000 years ago

When he betrayed the Demon Clan, Meliodas inspired the Vampire Clan, who hated being under the Demon Clan’s power, to rebel

Zeldris was told by his father to kill his beloved, Gelda, along with the rest of the Vampire Clan, divided between his feelings of love and loyalty. He instead sealed her away as a compromise, though they were released about 13 years before the present time, defeated by the Seven Deadly Sins

Meliodas regrets not being able to help his brother, saving the story of Estarossa for another time

But as he tries to remember his other brother, he can’t recall, the Demon King saying that such things are unnecessary for his son, the chapter ending as he appears before the group
