Episode Summary

Black Clover is back! The manga returned this month and the story picked up right where it left off. Asta and Yuno continue their battle with Luscious and his clones. The Black Bulls, who recently received some of Asta's anti-magic, jumped into the battle too with Luck and Magna teaming up to take down a clone Luscious.

With Black Clover joining Jump Giga and releasing quarterly, we had a lot to speculate on. Topics include, whether Lucius will revive more characters for arch angels, if Acier and Morgen can be resurrected, and what roles the Black Bulls will play in this final fight.

First, we witness the end of one era and the beginning of another in My Hero Academia. When one hero falls another rises. But will he be enough to end the threat of All for One once and for all? Next, One Piece brought us two flashbacks that have been long overdue. Not only do we get Kuma's backstory, but we also get a look into the infamous God Valley incident. Who do you think Jinny is?

* SPOILER WARNING *

We’re back with another Shonen Heat Week! My Hero Academia is on a break, so in this episode, we covered chapter 238 of Jujutsu Kaisen and chapter 1094 of One Piece. The battle between Sukuna and Kashimo reaches a conclusion and we already have two more fights on the horizon. While Sukuna displayed some incredible power, the real conflict came from the philosophy of the two fighters. Meanwhile, in One Piece, the Strawhats are confronted by the most powerful enemy they’ve ever faced - a member of the Five Elder Stars, St. Garcia Saturn! What does his arrival mean for the faith of the Strawhats and Vegapunk? Follow us on social media and join the conversation!

Episode Summary

* Spoiler Warning *

We’re back with Shonen Heat Week! One Piece is on a break this week, so we reviewed Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 237 and My Hero Academia chapter 402. Following the defeat of Gojo, we pick up right where we left off in Jujutsu Kaisen as the battle between Sukuna and Kashimo begins. Both these fighters, once viewed as the strongest of their time, clash in philosophies and use special one-use techniques that will make this fight more interesting. Taking a page out of Jujutsu Kaisen’s book, Chapter 402 of My Hero Academia features the presumed death of a beloved character. Ironically, a manga chapter filled with callbacks back to chapter 0 left us considering the future. Does Deku have what it takes to overcome the loss of his mentor and contend with the two strongest villains preparing to attack? Follow us on social media and let us know your thoughts!

Episode Summary

*Spoiler Warning*

This is definitely the saddest Shonen Heat Week we’ve done. In Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 236 we bid farewell to a fan-favorite character. But is he truly gone? Next in My Hero Academia chapter 401 the fight between All for One and All Might has all but concluded. The former number-one hero has given his all, but was it enough to stop All for One from reaching Shigaraki? Finally, in One Piece the battle between Luffy and Kizaru rages on. However, once the tides of change start to swing in the Strawhat Pirates’ fortune, a force we’ve long awaited begins to make his move. Which one of these chapters was your favorite? Follow us on social and let us know!

Episode Summary

*SPOILER WARNING*

We’re back with Shonen Heat Week! Jujutsu Kaisen is on a break, but since we missed last week we had to touch on what happened in chapter 235. The battle between Gojo and Sukuna has concluded and Gojo is HIM! In this episode, we explore the latest developments in "My Hero Academia" with Chapter 400. Aoyama and Hagakure’s fight concludes with the former making a stunning declaration. All for One and All Might’s fight continues as All Might displays more Class 1A quirks in his armor. Things take a turn when an unexpected ally joins the fight. 

Then, we set sail with the Strawhat Pirates for chapter 1092 of One Piece Chapter. Akainu confronts Kuma in the Holy Land and Luffy continues to battle with Kizaru. The admiral was able to contend with Snake Man and make his way to the crew and VegaPunks, which recently cracked York’s code, but how will he fair against Gear 5? 

How will the fight between All Might and All for One end? What about Luffy vs. Kizaru? Let us know!
