Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

Eyeshield 21 279

Well now I can’t say I saw Monta throwing away his prized possession (Honjou’s glove) into the ocean coming. Honestly though it’s all for the best and I’m glad his moody period didn’t last long. Still, if what Taka has shown so far in word and in movement Monta still has a long way to go before he can put up a decent fight in the Christmas Bowl. That said I really loved seeing the gloves Sena collected from all the other receivers Monta went up against in the past. Personally I think that those are worth much more than that baseball glove ever did.

One Piece 498

My, my! This chapter introduces us to a lot of new characters. All of these new characters happen to be pirate captains with bounties that exceed 100 million. Damn, I never thought about there being that many more pirates which extremely high bounties. It’s going to be very interesting to see how they interact with Luffy and the crew in future chapters. I’m especially curious and interested in Jewelry Bonney for quite obvious reasons. Kid seems to be extremely badass and has a bounty that’s higher than Luffy’s (only by 15 million though). Still, his bounty is only so high because he’s also done things to civilians and not just the Marines. I can hardly wait for the next chapter to see if Luffy ends up meeting any of those Captains and the engineer who is supposedly stronger than all of the Captains, including Luffy.

REBORN 190-191

So the main attraction here is the Ryohei/Gokudera vs. Gamma fight. Meanwhile Tsuna is about to start his training to perfect the X-Burner. I’m not really that psyched about the current fight but I do want to see Gamma beaten for the last time. So far he’s gloated about being so many levels stronger than the last time he fought but Gokudera has also been training. This fight will most likely show us the results of all his training. I especially want to see what that cat of his can do.

Psyren 20

Gah! This is a setup chapter that ended on a cliffhanger. I had thought that we’d at least see the very start of the fight but it was good anyway. Amamiya showed a few cute parts of herself after worrying about the safety and well-being of Yoshina and Asaga. I don’t know if their plan is going to work but I’m looking forward to see how it all turns out. Asaga is obviously going to try and save Tatsuo and I’d like to see if it’s possible to save someone who was turned into a Tavoo.

Mx0 97

Oh? What’s this? It seems like things have just gotten tons more interesting with what seems to be the start of a new story arc. It seems like the alumni Taki has come specifically to give Taiga a real magic plate instead of MO. Still I can’t help but feel that things won’t go so smoothly especially with the chapter title “Farewell Seinagi”. What does that mean? Is it a literal farewell or the farewell of the Taiga that used M0? It’s hard to think that he’ll just give up his M0 after all the hard work he put into upgrading it to a black plate and such (not to mention the series itself is entitled Mx0). I’m really excited to see where this arc takes us. ^^
