My Hero Academia Chapter 246

Image
In the secret laboratory of Daruma Ujiko, the doctor prepares to perform an operation on Tomura Shigaraki. Before starting, Daruma asks Tomura why he wants more power, considering that his Quirk Decay has become so powerful that he is literally the destruction incarnate. Tomura replies that he had promised him more power if he met his requirements, so now he is willing to claim his due. Responding then with more sincerity, Tomura tells Daruma that, although powerful, his Quirk is not infallible and there is always the risk that the enemy survives his attack, just as Re-Destro did during their fight. In addition, when he used his Quirk at full power, he himself was affected by the Decay, leaving his right arm full of scars, so it is not a power he can use as many times as he wants against the Heroes. Therefore, he wants to use everything he has at his disposal to obliterate the drags All Might left behind. Daruma likes Tomura's proclamations and explains the situation...

Endeavor notices that there is something unusual about Hawks's expression while he is offering him Destro's autobiography. Hawks gives him the book asking him to make sure he reads it well. Seeing how Japan's No. 2 hero recommends the book, Izuku expresses his desire to read it too, thinking he could discover the secret of his speed. Upon hearing him, Hawks gives him, Shoto and Katsuki extra copies that he carried with him. Izuku comments that it’s like he is spreading a gospel, to which Hawks replies that it is a fairly accurate comparison since he had already recommended the book to friends, colleagues and other Heroes. Before leaving, Hawks suggests to Endeavor that he should at least glance over the sections he marked, saying that's his second recommendation in so many words. Izuku and Shoto are impressed despite being only 22, Hawks has a very different perspective than them. To Katsuki, however, Hawks ticks him off. Once Izuku, Shoto, and Katsuk...

In the days prior to the Fire Festival, Orochi had ordered his men to destroy the bridges connecting the country's regions in order to prevent the Kozuki alliance members from convening on Port Tokage. He also had his men attack the Thousand Sunny after finding out where it was, and in Ebisu Town, the citizens drew Holdem's wrath after claiming to have eaten the food rations that the Nine Red Scabbards stole.  In the present day, the Scabbards decide that they must go forward with their plan no matter what, remembering that Oden told them the tides of the world would only change once Wano's borders are opened.

As the others are amazed about how striking the Heart Kingdom looks, Finral wonders where they should dock the boat. Suddenly a voice tells them just continue going forward, which Mimosa notices who that voice belongs to. The voice introduces himself as the director of spirits, Gaja, and that he has been charged with guiding them. Gaja tells Mimosa that it is good to see her again since her last visit, which Mimosa replies that it is good to see him too and that she is happy that Gaja remembers her. Gaja explains how Mimosa was among the most popular of the exchange students, and then offers them a drink that gets sweeter the more mana that is flown through it. Mimosa thanks Gaja for the drink, while Noelle comments about how good it is. Asta asks Noelle to send mana through his, which Noelle decide to do it since Asta has no mana. As the boat reaches a dead end, Finral wonders were they are going to go know. Gaja says that her majesty will bring them to where they need to g...

Yami informs his squad that its is hopeless since there is no way to get into the Heart Kingdom. Yami explains how the Heart Kingdom has its borders surrounded by a special Trap Magic that will mark anyone that springs the trap, and they will be wanted instantly. Vanessa comments about how this is a tough situation, because Rouge's power won't allow them to slip though. Noelle remembers that Mimosa has studied aboard in the Heart Kingdom a long time ago and tells Yami this. Noelle also tells Yami that some nobles are currently travelling abroad for studies, which Yami tells Finral to help them out. Finral is glad that he can get away from eating Charmy's Master chef's food just to keep supplying Henry with more mana. Asta and Henry are cheering Magna, Luck, and Charmy on, which Magna wonders were everyone else is at. Luck informs Magna that Gordon is at his family's home studying and that Gauche and Gray are sleeping in. Yami wonders were Zora went off to...

Gordon is shocked when Yami tells him to go to meet his family, in order to gain information about curses. Yami also comments about how Charlotte told him about how Gordon's family is famous in the school of Curse Magic. Yami also says that it won't hurt in trying to ask them about the forbidden curses. Gordon decides to head back home, since this will help Asta. Yami also has Asta, Gauche, and Grey join Gordon since he doesn't want to go. Asta thanks them for going this for him, which Gauche wonders why he is going while Grey finds it embarrassing to meet new people for the first time. While on their way there, Gordon thinks about how he was not able to make any friends since his family has always made their living by cursing others. Gordon then thinks about how he was never told how to dispel ancient curses by his family, when Asta was curse by the Eye of the Midnight Sun. Gordon thinks about how this time will be different since he now has his brave friends wi...

Haikyu!! Chapter 369

As they leave the court, everyone on Karasuno is unusually calm about the end of their journey at the Spring Interhigh. Nishinoya tells Asahi that he isn't beating himself up about the fact that he was unable to receive the last spike. Daichi praises Tsukishima's blocking for being one of the reasons Karasuno made it this far. Tsukishima's mind is occupied, as he is already thinking about reviewing the recording of the game to improve.  Daichi tells the team that they have all grown immensely, and they should be proud for having made it this far with their inexperienced team. Kageyama, however, interjects that he wishes he could've taken this team even further. Sugawara, tearing up, proclaims that if Kageyama feels that way about his team now, then he will feel the same way about any team he is a part of in the future. Finally, Daichi thanks Takeda for being their advisor this year, as they wouldn't have secured all those practice matches or gotten Coach ...

The ball falls. Karasuno has lost the final set against Kamomedai with a score of 23-25. Daichi, exhausted, falls back and stares at the bright lights in the ceiling before standing, unsteady, and joining the rest of his team. Both sides line up, bow, and shake hands. Hinata, watching with the borrowed tablet from the hospital waiting room, bows with his team.  The third year members of Karasuno take one last time to bow to the court and the audience. Meanwhile, Kita tells the Miya twins his view that winning isn't everything. Even if they feel that results are everything, especially for those only focused on the competitive aspect of volleyball, the experiences that they shared on the way here were worthwhile. At the very least, it kept them active and healthy. Back in the Karasuno audience, Tenma reassures Saeko that he's sure that Hinata hasn't given up. Saeko tells him that, if Hinata hadn't seen him on the television several years ago, then he never wo...

Kageyama serves. Nozawa manages to keep it in the air, but the ball ricochets back toward Karasuno's side of the court. Bessho is able to slam it past the net, and Nishinoya dives for the receive. Tsukishima sets the ball up for Tanaka, who spikes a super inner shot past three blockers. Kanbayashi saves the ball, which bounces back to Karasuno's side.  They rush forth with a synchro attack, and Kageyama sets it high for Tsukishima--but he gets a cramp in his leg at the most inopportune time. The ball falls to the ground. The score is 22-23. Coach Ukai is divided on who to sub in for Tsukishima. Due to the current rotation, he wants the tallest blocker available in Yamaguchi, but he also values the experience Sugawara would bring at this dire stage of the game. But Sugawara reads his coach's mind--he knows Yamaguchi is the better choice here, and he is willing to do whatever is best for the team.  Yamaguchi is subbed in and immediately grabs a point for the te...

Attack on Titan Chapter 122

Frieda Reiss tells her sister Historia that she should be like the girl in her storybook, because she is kind and always thinking of others. However, the girl lives in a harsh time when her people are enslaved by the Eldian tribe. When one of the slaves lets a pig escape, Fritz, the tribal leader calls for his slaves to identify the culprit or he will gouge out an eye from each of them. The other slaves point to a single girl, Ymir. She is surprised, but bows her head and takes the blame. As a result, she is set loose in a forest and chased by hunters on horseback with dogs and arrows. Blood runs from one of her eyes and she is struck multiple times, but she still runs until she finds a gigantic tree with a crevice at the base of its trunk. Ymir walks inside and stumbles into a chasm, where she falls headfirst and lands in water. A spindly substance is beneath her, lined up with her spine, and tendrils of it reach up to her back as she drifts down. The forest erupts ...

Attack on Titan Chapter 121

Still inside Grisha Yeager's memories, Zeke is surprised that Eren was raised without the same indoctrination he received. Given Eren's freedom to choose, Zeke is puzzled that Eren would betray him and carry out his father's plans when he received the Attack Titan without being told a thing. However, Eren replies that he has always been this way. The two of them arrive at the memory where Eren killed two of the three robbers who had kidnapped Mikasa Ackerman while they were children, and Zeke is as surprised as Grisha by the bodies. As Grisha scolds Eren as a child, the present day Eren explains that Zeke expected the two of them to be similarly scarred, but Eren fights because that is who he is, and not what his father made him. He is different from Zeke, who Eren sees as a man who can only define himself by his willingness to deny a father who died years ago. Zeke chooses to express gratitude instead, because Grisha opened his eyes to the dangers of Eldia. ...

Izuku, Katsuki and Shoto are chasing after Endeavor through the city for their internship. Izuku remarks that Endeavor is extremely fast, which Shoto recognises as his Flashfire technique. In a business district, Starservant is floating high above the streets between the buildings, proclaiming that the world will soon be cloaked in darkness.  The civilians see him as more of a nuisance than as a threat as they go about their business. Starservant suddenly starts absorbing the glass from the windows of the buildings, gathering the glass into a giant sphere to prepare his super move, Enlightened Fallen King. He launches the glass ball down the street, calling for the root of the darkness to appear. The glass ball does not go far before Endeavor flies into it and shatters it with Flashfire Fist. Endeavor confronts Starservant, who flees. As Endeavor gives chase, Starservant leads him through an alley where he has three minions ready to ambush him. As the minions prepare to ...

The chapter begins at Marine Headquarters. Fleet Admiral Sakazuki is talking with Admiral Fujitora on the radio, remarking how pleased the latter must be with the abolition of the Shichibukai system. Sakazuki was against it, but was powerless to do anything in the face of world's royalty. Fujitora retorts that the good far outweighs the bad and how Sakazuki fails to see that. He tells Sakazuki to put his faith in the SSG and how the balance of power in the world will now change dramatically. Sakazuki agrees, and changes the subject to Wano and the Yonko, going on about Big Mom and Kaido's tentative alliance.  This startles Issho, who calls it Rocks' second coming. Sakazuki tells him not to be so dramatic, saying how this is all real and when it rains, it pours. Elsewhere inside Marine HQ, Brannew and Sengoku are briefing a group of Marines about the Yonko alliance. Brannew clarifies that Kaido and Big Mom are planning to form an alliance and have not done so yet....

For New Year's Eve, the U.A. Staff allows their students to return to their homes for a day, escorted by pro heroes. Izuku returns to his apartment to enjoy the holiday with his mother Inko. Izuku tells her what happened to him during the Joint Training Battle, and how he was helped by Ochaco and Hitoshi, although what Inko hears makes her almost faint from the impression. Once she calms down, Izuku shows her mother a letter that Eri wrote to him, thanking him for having invited her to the school festival.  Although with spelling and grammar mistakes because she is learning to write, Izuku is happy to have received it. All this makes Inko to cry a waterfall of tears of joy. Inko confesses to Izuku that she has always been worried about him, because that despite being born Quirkless, he has always tried to help others, even if he ends up with bruises. That's why she always thought she had to be there to protect him, but seeing him now how much he has matured and progr...

While the other maids are lowering and trying to disassemble the chandeliers in the main hall, Mey-Rin worries about Ran-Mao. Throughout the day, she tries to get away to search for Ran-Mao, but her maid duties keep her busy. When Mey-Rin finally finds an opportunity to sneak away, Jane catches her and tells her to get back to work.  At night, Mey-Rin gears up to search for Ran-Mao and lowers herself down on a rope from her bedroom window to get to Chris Heathfield's room without being seen by Jane who wanders through the corridors. When she enters Heathfield's bedroom, there is nobody inside, but she notices a draught coming from somewhere although the windows are all closed. Mey-Rin follows the trail of the draught and pushes away a bookshelf to reveal a hidden staircase. Mey-Rin climbs down the stairs which lead to a room filled with hospital beds and machinery. The beds are filled with all the maids Heathfield summoned to his bedroom and liked.  They are all...

After removing most of the rubble from the city to her dream world, Dorothy leaves the rest of the work to her squad. The squad agree to it, while thinking about how amazing their captain is when she is awake. Dorothy then heads over to Noelle, which Noelle begins to talk about her mother. Dorothy stops Noelle and tells her that that is a matter that must not be spoken out loud or she would be cursed. Dorothy brings Noelle into her Glamour World spell and explains how it is a space that is separated from the rest of the world and that she has complete control of it. Dorothy creates some tea for Noelle, and explains how she normally uses this space for punishing prisoners or transporting rubble or injured people. As Noelle drinks her tea, she thinks about how someone can use this large-scale magic and that its even completely under her control. Suddenly Asta shows up, which Noelle wonders why he is here even though he is supposed to be with captain Yami. Asta says that that d...
