 Dr. Stone 127

Kirisame has thrown a fake petrification weapon, Ibara saying that Mozu may not be loyal to them. Senkuu warns the others to get away in the lab car, but Gen has been taken by Magma, who stole Yoh’s gun, planning to attack Ibara.

Nariyuki and Mafuyu, driven into the gym storehouse by sudden rain, avoid being caught by baseball club members who also briefly take off their wet clothes. After they get free, the girls’ mentioning about a carefree school life (connected to anime clichés) makes Mafuyu reminisce and Yuiga sees her (hallucinates again?) as a high school when he comments that he likes mid-winter (her name meaning the same thing)





My Hero Academia 248

Deku, Bakugou and Shoto all are encouraged by Endeavor in learning to build up their power in order to temporarily have maximum output or, in Deku’s case, to achieve multiple things simultaneously for his Air Force attack.

As Moz acts like the hooded warriors are too strong, the setup for the Kingdom of Science to take the petrification weapon when Kirisame throws it seems perfect, down to the location and all the methods they have.
