Kubo Taito of
Bleach fame has released a one shot called Burn the Witch in Weekly Shounen
Jump. It’s a fantasy series with some mild love comedy elements, where London,
having an issue with dragons (general fantasy creatures in this universe rather
than specifically the reptilian flying monsters), has a group called Wing Bind,
formed by wizards and witches, to manage them. Noel and Ninnie, two members
just doing harvesting, are called to exterminate a dragon, which turns out to
be 2 dragons connected to Virgo, an acquaintance of Noel’s. But when he’s
bitten by one of them, he becomes a were-dragon/dragon-possessed and has to be
taken care of by Wing Bind, apparently a Western Branch of Soul Society from
Bleach by the ending panel.
Dr. Stone 67
Gen and Senkuu are told by Nikki
that the fake Lillian barely gets a grade of 55, but she also says that she can
help them in fooling the others, Gen a bit worried
Nikki notes that the biggest concern
now is Ukyo and his hearing, since he could discern the song as a recording if
they play multiple times and he eventually hears it
Taiju suggests they just minimize
the amount of times they play it, Yuzuriha thinking they can have it be played
to a group and distract Ukyo to make it so he doesn’t hear it, Nikki agreeing
Gen notes that Ukyo was revived because
he used to work sonar on a submarine and since he’s fighting Chrome and Magma,
he wonders if they’ll be okay
We see Chrome, seemingly shot with
Ukyo’s arrows, Magma claiming he’ll avenge his friend
But Chrome narrowly dodged the
attacks by sheer luck, Magma using that opportunity to try and figure out where
Ukyo’s shooting from. He fails, Chrome realizing that Ukyo’s also using the
smokescreen to his advantage and mobility to keep them on the ropes
Thinking about how the arrows missed
him so precisely even though Ukyo has such a precise visual range, Chrome
deduces Ukyo must be intentionally missing, trying to capture them instead
He waves a white flag, Ukyo
capturing and tying him up, which Magma sees with Chrome walking around restrained,
to his frustration, fleeing the kingdom
We see that Ukyo and Chrome have an
agreement now, Ukyo complimenting Chrome’s decision-making in the dangerous
situation to keep Magma and Gen safe, though Chrome has to stop himself from
getting into his flow and let more information slip
Chrome is brought before Tsukasa,
truly captured and in the enemy’s territory fully
Magma returns to the village,
explaining the situation of Chrome being Tsukasa’s prisoner. Kohaku is running
to help him, but Senkuu, turning the telephone into a megaphone, stops her by
calling her a lioness (something she hates)
Senkuu thinks their best move now is
to collaborate with all of the village members to make an encampment near Tsukasa’s
kingdom and mount a rescue operation
Suika, Gen and Kinrou all say that
bringing the massive amount of science equipment with them by hand is
impossible
Senkuu stuns Gen again as the chapter
ends with him saying that they’ll make an automobile to transport their
supplies on their mission.
We Never Learn 71
Yuiga is being embraced by Asumi as
we flashback to 2 hours earlier to find out what led up to this
Asumi and Yuiga, doing a job as housekeepers
from the maid café, arrive at a rich woman’s house, giving off a vibe that
impresses them
But when it’s revealed that she
doesn’t just have a cat as a pet, but an iguana, a tortoise and a ball python,
among others, Yuiga’s worried that Asumi might freak out
She’s quite good with them, Yuiga’s
worry making her joke that he’s jealous, petting him on the head as well
Yuiga heads off to feed other
animals in another room, thinking that Asumi’s pretty cool.
When she comes in, Yuiga has found a
hamster, called Hammy-chan, which she’s suddenly scared of. It jumps into her
dress, Yuiga getting it out as she hugs him in fear, returning to the present
The hamster, afraid of Asumi, runs
away, getting out of the house. Yuiga and Asumi go after it
Yuiga asks why she’s so scared of
rodents, Asumi telling about how she was traumatized when she went to the house
of a patient at her dad’s clinic where he was raising rats, a massive amount of
them all over the house because of how fast they breed
The idea of Asumi being vulnerable
makes Yuiga think it’s a bit cute, but that’s forgotten as he spots the hamster
clinging to a branch
As they try to figure out how to get
to it, a bird flies at the hamster, ready to eat it.
Asumi appears, grabbing Hammy-chan
and scaring the bird away, Yuiga going along with her idea to tie the
clothesline they had for work around her waist and lower her down
Afterwards, Asumi is relaxing in the
bath, thinking that things went pretty well. But Hammy-chan appears before her,
apparently greatly admiring her now
Yuiga contemplates how he can use
this to his advantage to seem more reliable to Asumi so she won’t tease him
But that’s forgotten as Asumi runs
into her room, barely having a towel to cover herself as Hammy-chan clings to
her hair
The chapter ends as we see that
Hammy-chan continues to try and meet Asumi, running away from home
occasionally.
Fire Force 135
Shinra is confused at how Kurono’s
Black Smoke affected him even though the blow didn’t make contact, wondering
how to combat it.
Utilizing the Rapid technique,
enhancing his speed, Kurono is still able to stop Shinra’s assault, easily
deflecting him away twice.
Shinra, furious at Kurono for his
abuse of the children, ignores the scientist telling him to use his Adora Burst
Kurono explains that his black smoke
is connected to his senses, letting him perceive even the fastest attacks to
counter them
Shinra doesn’t buy it, using a
flurry of attacks to push Kurono back, but the Grim Reaper unleashes his smoke
again
This time, he begins to solidify it
into weapons like kunai and daggers, slashing Shinra after using smokescreens
from the weapons exploding into smoke
After using Hidden Eclipse, a
smokescreen covering a dual slash attack with daggers, Shinra is still
standing, which impresses Kurono
But when the scientists ask him to
take a break, Kurono instead unleashes his smoke to cover the window and the
room’s temperature starts to increase
Another scientist comes in, saying
that something’s happening to Nataku, the chapter ending as we see that
Nataku’s arm is feeling hot and the Adora Burst is starting to activate.
Black Clover 166
We start a flashback, William
speaking about how he was somewhat aware of Patri sharing his body with him and
sympathizing with the elf, even using it as a way to keep persisting through
his tough childhood.
After he grew up a bit, around age
9, he started seeing dreams, memories of Patri’s life, which inspired him to
protect him even more.
When Julius approached him at 13,
treating the boy as a regular person and not caring about his scar, William,
after receiving the mask from the Wizard King, decided to dedicate his life to
him as well.
At 16, Patri awakened and the two
came to an understanding, William truly understanding that he was sharing his
body with another soul
After they gained the ability to
switch souls that controlled the body and their forms, William still felt
divided between his loyalties: to Patri, like a sibling to him and Julius, a
leader figure that inspired him to be a Magic Knight.
Patri made the choice for him in
killing Julius, William deciding to sacrifice himself and let his friend
continue on without him.
As Patri wakes up, realizing the
resurrection is complete, he thanks his friend, going to find where Licht is
(meaning Licht has been reincarnated elsewhere in the capital), the elf leaving
the corpses of the others
But we see that Rades has managed to
survive, his Soul Corpse magic having evolved as his soul was threatened by the
elf soul, now able to return souls back into their body, reviving Sally and
Valtos as well.
The chapter ends as the trio
teleports to where Asta and the Black Bulls are, Rades saying that they will
have their revenge (even though he also wanted to make Licht suffer)
One Piece 912
Luffy tells Tama straight out that
Ace is dead, which she doesn’t believe, fainting at the thought.
The tengu, Hitetsu, is angry at
Luffy for not knowing that there should be some tact in revealing such a thing
to someone.
Hitetsu also explains how every
place except the Flower Capital has become part of a lawless region only
controlled by Kaidou’s goons, including X Drake and Basil Hawkins, some of the
Headliners
Amigasa Village, where Hitetsu and
Tama came from, was one such place and when Ace’s crew washed ashore, they tied
them up and took their food. But Ace, after freeing himself, just asked for
dessert, not angry at them. The crew even stayed a few weeks, Tama growing
attached to them
Luffy decides to take Tama to get
medical help, Hitetsu telling him to dress in a kimono so as not to stand out.
But the Straw Hat takes a sword he found, the tengu warning him that it’s
cursed.
Tama wakes up as Luffy continues on,
Komacchiyo offering him a ride. She’s angry that he’d say Ace is dead so
casually as we learn that Ace promised that she could join his crew when he
returns if she becomes a great kunoichi.
The trio then gets through a bamboo
grove, finding that indeed, a lot of Wano is a wasteland, populated by vicious
monsters, like a giant tiger, boar and even a croco-shark.
Luffy is warned by Tama that he
can’t eat the beasts, since they’ve drank from the polluted water, but she says
that there is a place where Orochi and Kaidou get clean food and water.
As Tama falls unconscious, her fever
getting worse, Luffy heads out. He sees a woman fleeing from some men, but
someone else knocks them away, defeating the bandits.
The woman and others with her thank
him, but the man says he just wanted their booze, Luffy recognizing him as Zoro.
They both catch up briefly, though
Zoro and Luffy ignore the warning Tama gave the Straw Hat, eating some of the
food Zoro had.
Suddenly, Basil appears, saying that
he’s been searching for Zoro, still labeled a criminal and concludes that Luffy
was the one who beat up his subordinates on Kuri Beach.
The chapter ends as Zoro and Luffy
decide to square off against Basil, thinking they can apologize for causing a
disturbance even though Kinemon warned them not to.
One Piece is on break next week
My Hero Academia 191
Endeavor recognizes Dabi as the
villain who attacked Snatch, but Dabi just utilizes his Quirk to surround
Endeavor, himself and Hawks with flames, blocking out other Heroes.
Hawks says he’ll hold off Dabi, but
Dabi responds that he’s really just here for the Noumu
When Dabi rushes to attack, Mirko
manages to push him back, ready to assist the other Heroes.
Dabi, asking for help from someone
called Ujiko, disappears into a liquid, similar to when the League of Villains
was teleported by All For One in Kamino, Mirko unable to catch him.
The news reporter thanks Endeavor
and Hawks for saving everyone at the risk of their own lives, the events
finally concluding
Later, we see Dabi and Hawks
meeting, the two actually having planned things out. Hawks objects to the Noumu’s
attack in the city as well as it being much stronger, but Dabi says that Hawks
bringing the #1 Hero changed the plan as well in terms of the scale, also
noting that he needed to make sure Hawks was trustworthy.
It’s revealed that Hawks is allied
with the League of Villains, providing information that he acquires as a Hero
in order to aid Dabi and the others
But we learn that Hawks was actually
assigned to be a double agent to gain more information for the Hero side to combat
the League of Villains in the future, Hawks a prime candidate because of his
attitude
The chapter ends as Hawks apologizes
to Endeavor for his betrayal and we see Dabi seemingly crying after he realized
he did kill Snatch
Seven Deadly Sins 275
Mael recognizes Gowther as connected to the Ten
Commandments, King saying that Gowther shouldn’t have revealed such a thing.
But Gowther says it’s for the best, Mael rushing at
him and smashing the doll into a wall, berating him for all he’s made the
Goddess Clan member do in the Holy War and to the present.
He then blasts Gowther away, catching up and pinning
him with his foot as Mael asks him why this had to be done and why he was
targeted.
Gowther explains that with Meliodas’ betrayal, the
power balance between the Goddess and Demon Clan needed to be corrected and
Mael was considered the strongest to be used as a traitor for the Goddess Clan.
But the Holy War had already begun and the Goddess Clan, to avoid further
casualties and losses, used the Coffin of Everlasting Darkness and ended the
conflict.
Mael is unsatisfied with that, planning to inflict
1/1000 of the suffering he experienced onto the doll. But as he discovers that
Gowther doesn’t feel pain like others, he’s further frustrated
King bursts in and knocks Mael away, telling Gowther
that the Seven Deadly Sins stick together when one of their own is in trouble
Mael moves to kill King, but he defends himself with
Chastiefol and counterattacks. However, the Goddess then uses Arrow of
Salvation, striking King and inflicting suffering on him that is due to the
nature of the attack, normally killing Demons painlessly. Gowther begs him to
stop, but Mael still intends to make Gowther suffer, even if it’s emotionally
rather than physically
King, in spite of his injury, utilizes Chastiefol’s
true form and unleashes Spear of Judgment on Mael, but he’s able to block it,
saying that this will let him continue to try and stop him so he can prolong
Gowther’s punishment
Sariel shocks Tarmiel when he says they will help
the Seven Deadly Sins. The Archangel protests his ally’s idea, since King is
defending Gowther who made Mael out to be a Demon.
But Sariel insists that they must save Mael, since
with his form as an Archangel, he’s gaining control of the Commandments, which
is beginning to corrupt his body with the power of darkness.
Gowther tells King to stop, willing to sacrifice
himself to save the others. King retorts that if he really values other people,
he shouldn’t be so willing to give up so quickly.
Mael prepares to attack Gowther and King again, but
the chapter ends as we see Sariel and Tarmiel move to attack Mael as well.
