Considering mangazone did this chapter I'm surprised how readable it was. I guess they had time to do proper translating since they weren't trying to beat mangastream to this week's Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece chapters.
That translation is pretty bad, actually.
 
Naruto

Madara. He be sweatin'

Lol just noticed all the juniors, when did they get here?


Bleach

So I'm a bit confused, did that one character die? Considering this is Bleach and that char was arguably good I guess not, but it felt that way.


Naruto

An empty panel filled with footsteps has been my favourite Naruto panel in several years.
I hate this manga.


One Piece


Lol at Zoro doing a Ryuuma and beheading a dragon, go figure.

Decent chapter that seems to introduce a whole bunch of ... things to the fray.

Apparently Law is on the island and he might be a shichibukai, which is interesting.

Someone called "M" (master) that wants to kidnap pirates because they won't be missed .. Arguably this means kidnapping pirates rather than either marines or regular people. But I doubt we'd be seeing regular people around this island so who knows who they are?

Brook left behind ... lol.

Half a samurai. Why can he talk? Maybe he's using his second mouth.


I have no idea where this arc is going. If smoker's gonna show up as well I feel like it might be an intensely dangerous gathering of powerful guys though. Curious where it'll end up.

HxH

Still have to think what I have to say about this, god that chapter was weird.
 
Naruto

Meh. Why waste a double spread on footprints.

One Piece

I'm glad it was an actual dragon and not just a fruit user.

Law does seem the most likely candidate based on the abilities we've seem so far. Although, even when Law separated people they still needed a head to talk, which this guy doesn't have.

He wasn't really "talking" though when he was just a head was he. He was speaking in thought bubbles and the crew wasn't responding to what he was saying
 
Hunter X Hunter

I do not know what to think of the Gon Ging meet-up. :|

Also, even if there's going to be an hiatus (assuming the decreasing quality of his drawings is an indication), there should be at least two new volumes out this year in my country, so that's cool at least... I guess.
 
bleach
caught up, hope it's worth it, also that one captain is ugly as fuck

hxh
yo fuck ging. holy shit illumi vs killua? want to see illumi fuck his shit up
 
One Piece

My first thought was : Oh Buggy!

Then I saw this panel:

The legs were connected to the dragon, just like this guy was connected to a barrel:

So that must be Law's work.
 
That's some pretty convincing evidence right there. Looks like Law really is a Shichibukai. The attachment thing to the dragon makes a lot of sense.
 
Oh God One Piece. Amazing chapter.

Law a Schichibukai though, after the shit he pulled during the great war? I'm finding that hard to believe for now. Why would he attach a samurai to a dragon? XD!

This chapter has me completely stumped so far.
 
One Piece: that dragon was stronger then hodi lol. I hope that bodiless guy ends with the crew, That'd be better then jinbei.

Naruto: Don't care. I don't care about you sasuke. Why can't you go away and die.

Bleach: So nothing important happened last arc? What a waste. Back to Kubos terrible pacing.
 
HxH :
Woah Pariston is the Troll!
Totally unexpected outcome.
The meet up is actually pretty much how it should be, I mean this is Ging we're talking about he was trapped there it only make sense he would act like that.
The next chapter is going to be great too it seems!
 
cant help but think that the quincys involved in this final arc have hollow powers or were slain by hollows and became hollows themselves whilst maintaining some conscience and became the new breed of hollowfied quincys
 
Maybe i need to reread Naruto, but is it me or is there way too many footsteps in the double pages spread? It's like Sasuke was drunk or had fun jumping left and right so he could have as many of them as possible.

Or maybe that wasnt his own footsteps but all those guys in the previous pages...

I assumed the first set were his friends' (side by side, yadda yadda) and the ones on their own were Sasuke's (alone, going down a different path)

That translation is pretty bad, actually.

It definitely wasn't perfect, but in comparison to the crap they usually put out I could at least "read" through it without focusing on mistakes in every panel. Definitely looking forward to mangastream's version though.
 
Naruto

The chapter was off to a great start. I like how Tobi actually considered that he was sweating. Naruto's swag is too good. The chapter starts to drag when it starts to focus on the other participants of the war. I feel that this wasn't a good time to focus on the hidden leaf nin, especially considering how little development they got. Hinata is just... urgh. If she ends up with Naruto at the end of the series I'll be mad as fuck. Talk about an undeserved bullshit pairing. The Sai panel made me want to shoot myself in the head. Repeatedly. (He already fucking said this this 350 chapters ago) Sasuke's appearance was alright, but he didn't even do much. The footstep double spread was alright, though the 2 pages could be used for actual content. Alright chapter, definitely one of the weakest chapters in the entire arc.

Bleach

Ichigo enters a room filled with tables. He wanders for a bit until he spots the right one, a table of 3.

Ichigo: Hey guys, long time no see.

???: Oh hey Ichigo, yeah its been ages.

???: (is too busy eating*)

Every week, Ichigo would meet up with his 2 friends, Naruto & Luffy over lunch (brunch?) and reminisce. However, before he can take his seat?

Ichigo: ?!? Who's that?

Luffy: Oh yeah, Toriko kinda took your spot while you were gone. No hard feelings right?

Toriko: Nice to meet ya.

Ichigo: :|

Anyway, this chapter was pretty cool. The first half anyway. I've always had a soft spot for Mayuri, and his shenigans were amusing. The chapter starts to drag when it introduces 2 of some of the most unlikeable Bleach characters ever. Stock character A, and Stock character B. A is a shy, mild mannered guy who's a pussy, while B is a bossy, short tempered female. I WONDER WHERE I'VE SEEN THOSE CHARACTERS BEFORE. Fuck, I couldn't care less about their bullshit. Glad Ichigo showed up like a boss to kick start this arc into high gear. This is the final bleach arc, so i'm positive Tite Kubo won't fuck it up. All in all, it was a decent chapter, a step up from Naruto.

One Piece

Oh man...! On one hand, we got an awesome fight against a big Dragon. (I was seriously expecting this chapter to be a huge misunderstanding;
Dragon: HOHOHOHO I'M SORRY I ATTACKED YOU, I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE MARINES! THEY KEEP TRYING TO ATTACK ME.
But no, they actually end up killing the damn thing. They're teamwork was nearly flawless to, oh man. Zoro and Usopp were in perfect synch at the end of the fight. Part of me wanted it to stick around for the remainder of the arc, but thats ok. I'm actually glad Zoro ended up killing the dragon on his own, he needed this badass display of feats imo. Anyone notice the awesome callback to Ryuuma. In fact, the panels where Zoro kills the dragon is nearly identical to the panel where Ryumma's. The rest of the strawhats getting kidnapped has actually made me happy. It means that Oda can focus on the current group (Luffy, Zoro, Usopp & Robin is probably my single favorite SH division in the manga)

The chapter was incredible, but thats to be expected from One Piece.

PS: Luffy asking a pair of legs to become his Nakama. Don't ever change Luffy lmao.
 
Holyland 151-160

Loving it! This manga is just so consistently good. I think the next volume is the final one. I'm super keen to see how things are wrapped up.

Will Shougo realise he's being an idiot? Will this plan of theirs come off and if so how will Yuu and Izawa react? EXCITE! I can't wait for these next few fights!
 
ONE PIECE

The battle with the dragon was cool. Basically it just showed the crew is strong enough to defeat a dragon. When I first saw the legs i thought Buggy, as most people did, but now I; just confused. I think if anyone is a shiki its Buggy not any of the rookies. Remember the government did send a letter to him which we STILL don't know what it says. I am loving the cover story arcs. Great way to tell a lot of the missing stories at once.

Toriko

Does anyone else care about this manga? This is one of my favorite ones and, in my opinion, one of the best ones today.
 
i thought that was the dragon talking? I guess not... aaaaaaah I need to reread it when I'm not half asleep

Luffy hears a voice and thought it was the dragon talking, everyone else thought he was crazy, then they start hearing a voice themselves.

At first I thought the legs were talking through the dragon, but the legs talk after getting seperated, no idea if Law's DF is capable of that side effect.
