Toriko

Wait, so the toriko and rin getting married thing was real?

I thought he said it as a joke.


Chapter was hype though. Can't wait for the gourmet world.

Toriko has no time for those cheesy romance arc. All those oblivious MCs should learn a thing or two from Toriko, hahaha.

NARUTO

Honestly didn't expect that.... Also, I wonder what Sasuke said to the Sage, I doubt it's similar to Naruto. I doubt Kishi would deprive us of that confrontation between him and Naruto.

It was pretty much a straight homage to how Goku and ChiChi got married.

Which is how every shounen writer who sucks at romance should handle that stuff.(they're married, they fucked, had kids, lets move on)

Problem with that is they have to know they suck .
 
Not necessarily manga related, but I'm so happy to finally get ahold of this. The art in it is just absolutely beautiful.

Finished Koibana Onsen. I really liked this, but I really felt pretty terrible for poor Fuuka. For such a upbeat love story, her fate sucked pretty hard. Also some of the non Nonoka/Akiyama relationships were quite a bit less interesting. Would have preferred more of that in the final third or so.

Really surprised they skipped the wedding.

man, i should give this a re-read
 
You know can someone explain to me what manner of black magic Mashima is using that enables him to pump out so many dense Fairy tail chapters week after week(and sometimes more than one chapter a week)

HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS!!!!!

Kyros gives absolutely no fucks whatsoever. Donflamingo got fucking decapitated in an instant, he isn't getting up after that. Unless his power is a lot crazier than we've been led to believe it is.

Read our spoiler discussion above, chances are Law used room, because he wants to kill him on his own or Dofla has crazy power and is like a marionette

(silent announcement: officially, for a month in June/July, upandaway will become a Los Angeles. And get lots of streetpasses and buy a laptop and a bunch of Vita games without having to pay for import delivery fees. yey)

Toriko

How is the snake even getting in there. I don't think we ever saw her full body in one panel! Hahaha. Also surprised the penguin didn't grow ridiculously large like the rest of the pets.

I love how Komatsu's pretty much officially the entire four's combo partner now. I don't remember it was a thing for Coco to gun for the drink, but it was probably mentioned before and I forgot. It'll be amazing if Zebra gets a pet in the Gourmet World.

Really hyped, it's been a few years since the last miscellaneous ingredients arcs. That Toriko is the best Toriko.

Shimoneta toiu Gainen ga Sonzaishinai Taikutsu na Sekai 1
Sixteen years after the laws to ban dirty jokes were enacted, Japan has become a perfectly sound yet boring society.

This is a story of two rebels against the status quo, via obscene acts of terrorism.

Haven't been this dumbstruck by something in a long ass time. MUST READ

Zebra should've kept that big horse he had, I like how they mentioned it could've beaten the 4 Beast by itself by Zebra told it to take a hike.

Chaos is about to happen and i can't wait to see it , up coming chapters going to be crazy .
Kyros was awesome this chapter as for Donflamingo there is no way he is dead his DF could be more hax than we thought .
Maybe he could be a puppet and his real body else where they , have few more theories out there on how he can live.
Sabo move was also nice to see .

Here.We.Go.

All those people (and animals?) from the past ten years are back! The upcoming chapters of One Piece are going to be great.

So the finalists in the tournament are going to fall down to the SMILE factory and I'm assuming they're going to make contact with everyone in the Officer Tower. Damn I'm so hyped to see what happens.

Good shit.

But I can't believe there is even a *single* person here who contemplates the question: "Is Don Flamingo dead?"

Of course he isn't dead, geeezzz. You think Oda would just off someone as important as him so nonchalantly like that?

You're probably right, but the marines are still around so they may wind up being the big bads for Luffy to fight. Or Kaido shows up. Or Big Mom.

More Dragon's _____ attack
Goddammit, just show that Sabo is Dragon's direct protege already Oda!
The next chapter will be hell for sure, I wonder how our admiral Fujitora handles it.

I still love One Piece, but I really hope we will have chapters focussed on one characters fight again like we used to have in the Alabasta or Enel'y Lobby Arc. I loved those and I kinda feel to much is happening in some chapters these days.

[Naruto]

"Man, I left them precise instructions on how to gain immense power just so they wouldn't do it, and lo and behold... Heh. At least, I tried."

"The problem was that I didn't pay enough attention to you, Indra. So that's your answer? You did answer, right? I think you did. What's that? Yeah, the other one got all the Tailed Beasts. No, you didn't. Does it look like you did? No, it doesn't, so there you go. Ugh, I just remembered why I picked your brother as my successor."


So what's the deal with the Rinnegan, Kaguya just popped out two sons who had some weird eye mutation that she didn't even have.
I guess Kaguya's weird Rinnegan/Sharingan thingy went to Hagoromo as a Rinnegan, and to his descendants as a Sharingan.
And I imagine Kishimoto came up with Hagoromo's brother to explain that old "the Sharingan comes from the Byakugan" thingy: he's the ancestor of the Hyûga and got the Byakugan from his mother.
It's messy but at least, Kishimoto tried...

There'd still be some stuff to explain though... Like how Madara survived that old fight (but was thought dead)... Saved by Kaguya, the Real Final Boss? Three more volumes!

And how about why Kurama told Sasuke that he would regret it if he killed Naruto, now? Good luck with that one! ;þ
(I still believe the original plan was to have the Yin half of the Nine Tails hidden inside Sasuke... Besides, doesn't make much sense for Karin to describe Ashura's chakra as "dark".)

You know what? I REALLY hope Doflamingo is dead.
If someone deserves killing him, its Kyros! He should have been dead 10 years ago and was only saved by Sugars hax DF power.
I know, missing blood, it's shounen etc.

But it would be great if he is really dead...

This is an arc all about creating chaos and now went to his high point. But Doflamingo must have some kind of emergency plan or an ace in the hole for this situation or this is going to be one hell of a beating for him. Not only has he lose control over the country, there are now a lot of powerful people looking for revenge. I can't believe, that he wouldn't have a plan for this possibility and trusting his whole empire on a little girl, which needs to be conscious all the time.

Of course, Doflamingo isn't dead and there were Law's powers at work. Why else would Oda showed him noticing Curos briefly. The question is, why did he save him? Law could have planed to get captured and needs Doflamingo alive to fulfill his goal. It fits into Law character of "all according to keikaku".

Seeing as the manga actually took the time to show Law awake I have no doubt
he saved Doflamingo from being decapitated
. As far as to why, I can only assume we will be going into Law's past real soon and his attachment to the Doflamingo.

Sidebar,
how fucking awesome is fishman karate and Sabo? So awesome.

Bleach

Only a couple attacks and the chapter is over. At this rate the fight is going to last over 5 chapters. It is still Shakespeare compared to...

Naruto

I am guessing the surprise is that Don Flam has a string logia rather than a paramecia. Would give an easy way out for his survival.

I have a feeling Doflamingo's status in One Piece is going to be around for a long time. As in, the arc right now pretty much has closure storywise, and Doflamingo is in such a bad position it's likely he'll take his ball somewhere else...possibly towards Wano Country so we can have that arc too. Maybe that's where all the fighting will happen kind of like what Enies Lobby was.
