Dr. Stone 68

We see Senkuu explain the rough process for acquiring the tires, furnace and steam engine for his “automobile” as he did for other things like the phone and sulfonamide

Everyone’s confused as Senkuu draws a massive amount of blueprints for the car, saying that they’ll make an oscillating engine, the first step using the waterwheel to create a lathe cutter that will etch out pieces.

They also take the steam furnace that was made for winter, repurposing it to be the core of the oscillating engine’s power, as we see the process for the constant flow, Kaseki impressed at it and ripping his clothes off again

Some people are worried about Chrome, Senkuu saying he’ll be fine as long as he doesn’t run his mouth, though Kohaku says that’s the exact problem they should be concerned about

Tsukasa speaks to Chrome, asking why he’s a scientist, thinking it’d be normal to fear being seen as obsolete in this Stone Age.

But Chrome is confident in his position, saying that he’s going to teach Tsukasa how awesome science is, bringing up his initial trick of changing the color of fire

Hyouga hands Chrome off the edge of a waterfall, Tsukasa telling Chrome that he does use basic science, like making fires and tools, but he says there must be moderation against someone like Senkuu corrupting things

Tsukasa and Hyouga suggest Chrome betray Senkuu, giving him his science practices in exchange, Chrome seemingly going along with it

But instead, he says he’d never do something like that, Hyouga dropping him off.

Chrome is resolved to die, however, Ukyo saves him with an arrow, seemingly signaled from Tsukasa.

The leader is impressed at how strong Chrome’s courage was in the face of death, giving him a bridge to climb back up and telling the others that he won’t betray Senkuu regardless of what they do

Hyouga asks Ukyo where he found Chrome, the archer lying and saying Chrome was looking in the cave of miracles for nitric acid. This confuses Chrome, wondering if Ukyo is trying to start some revolution within Tsukasa’s empire

Meanwhile, Senkuu and the others take the molds they made and pour in iron, next soldering the parts together after they cool

The chapter ends as we see the vehicle, more like a locomotive train as Gen says the Industrial Revolution has finally come to the village

We Never Learn 72

Uruka greets Yuiga as they head to school, but is shocked when she sees bites on his neck that seem like hickies, though she tries to avoid that implication, giving him some bandages for the “bug bites”

We see Uruka panicking over the hickies even though she tries to say it could be an accident. When she tries to do it on her arm, she sees it couldn’t have happened that way

She remembers that Yuiga didn’t have them when he left school yesterday, so after recalling he was with Rizu when she left, Uruka asks her about it

Rizu said she left to go home after studying with Nariyuki, Uruka thinking they must’ve been doing something else.

But Rizu remembers that Yuiga went to see Mafuyu, Uruka asking her about it. She was asking Yuiga about his homework assignment, Uruka wondering if there was some kind of punishment for Yuiga getting something wrong, more of her wild fantasies.

Mafuyu directs Uruka to ask Fumino, whom Yuiga had gone to give his notebooks yesterday.

The idea of someone as innocent as Fumino doing it makes Uruka think it’s silly, but she overhears Fumino apologizing to Yuiga about not sucking well enough and it leaving a mark

Uruka thinks they’re talking about Fumino giving Yuiga a hickey, but it turns out she was talking about trying to get the tea out of Yuiga’s notebook that she spilled onto it.

She tries to ask Yuiga directly about the hickeys, but stops herself, asking him more generally about if he went home without seeing anyone else

It turns out Kobayashi was also someone Yuiga hung out with, studying until late in the night

Uruka notices from the picture Kobayashi shares that Yuiga didn’t have the hickey then, thinking there must’ve been something between them that led to them.

She leaves Kobayashi confused as she thanks him for helping her figure things out (thinking it was something just between guys that didn’t mean anything)

Yuiga’s sister Mizuki notices the marks on his neck as we learn that it was Kazuki and Hazuki, his younger brother and sister, the twins, sucking on his neck when they were asleep, dreaming about ice cream 

The chapter ends as Yuiga recalls that Uruka had what looked like hickey marks on her arms, not wanting to think about it as he continues studying.

Fire Force 136

Black Clover 167

Asta and the others are confused at Rades’ group appearing, but the necromancer ignores them, saying he wants revenge on Licht for his betrayal

After pointing out that they know he’s in the capital and that Valtos can teleport them there, Rades says they should team up, Sally enhancing their magic with her tools and even bringing the Black Bulls’ base with them

But Asta rejects his offer, saying Rades just wants revenge, while the Black Bulls want to help people. He insists Rades would just go back to his bad ways, saying they should help people from now on

Realizing he doesn’t need Rades’ help, Asta talks to Valtos, who says he feels guilty for going along with Licht’s plans and wants to confirm things for himself

Sally just wants to experiment more, Asta volunteering his own body if Sally helps them

Rades is still resistant, but as Valtos and Sally take some of Charmy’s magic-restoring food, he begrudgingly goes along with things, insisting he’s still doing his own mission, he and Asta butting heads as they eat

The chapter concludes as we see the capital has been devastated by Licht’s moving dungeon, but the Black Bulls’ base arrives, ready to fight

My Hero Academia 192

Two days later, we see that Endeavor did survive the attack after Recovery Girl’s healing and some other surgeries, left with a scar on his left eye.

Hawks apologizes to Endeavor, though the Hellflame Hero says he’ll take responsibility for his own injuries. But the #2 Hero avoids suspicion from Endeavor when he wonders why the Noumu targeted them so directly, saying that it could’ve just been rumors or the recent popularity they had with the rankings

The two part ways after Endeavor tells Hawks to be careful in his future investigation.

We see Hawks remember how he was recruited early on as a child when he saved people from a dangerous incident and that person shaping him into the person he is today, willing to be corrupted so he can make his dream of a world where Heroes can take it easy a reality some day

Back at the Todoroki house, Endeavor arrives, Fuyumi greeting him, while Natsuo decides to leave

Endeavor tells his son if he has something to say, he should tell his father directly, but Natsuo retorts that Endeavor kept them away from Shouto, seen as failures in his eyes, so he can’t talk about communication

Natsuo thinks Endeavor hasn’t really changed, not confronting the things he did to his wife Rei and Shouto, even mentioning an older brother Toya (possibly Dabi’s true name?) and leaving in disgust as Endeavor tells him he’ll face his past head on now, not believing him

Fuyumi is sad at this turn of events, but Shouto tries to encourage his dad, commenting on the reports recently that Endeavor, while a bit uncertain in his influence to some people with the recent battle, is still doing his best as the #1 Hero

He acknowledges that his father is a great Hero, but Shout is still waiting to see how Endeavor changes as a father.

Endeavor thinks to himself that All Might’s words of inspiration to him were meant to say that he must protect the future for Heroes in training like his son as he leaves, to Fuyumi’s disappointment

We shift over to Deku, who crashes in bed after a long day of training. But he has an odd dream, seeing the faces of people, clearer than when he had a similar moment fighting Shinsou in the Sports Festival tournament

The chapter ends as we see that Deku is seeing the memories of One For All from the past, particularly when things began with All For One and his brother

Seven Deadly Sins 275.5

This chapter is a series of vignettes elsewhere in the story

Jericho greets Elaine after doing her patrols, the two bonding briefly about their brothers, even though Gustaf, Jericho’s brother is dead. But both of them agree that their brothers cared about them, Jericho’s new power of manifesting ice seen as evidence of that

Elaine actually notes that Gustaf’s spirit is floating over Jericho, still chastising her, even though after she flees, Gustaf actually encourages his sister

Ban is shopping for food as Diane rushes over to tell him that the captain and Escanor are having a fight

Turns out it’s actually Hawk and Escanor, fighting over Merlin’s attention. They’re eating Meliodas’ food, which has always been regarded as terrible

Escanor manages to win, getting an item from Merlin that he mistakes as her love, though it’s actually a strong laxative that makes him stay in the bathroom for 2 days.

We also get a side story involving Elizabeth thinking about what to get her father for his birthday and Hawk trying to explain how he beat Hendricksen in the past (even though it’s fabricated entirely)
