Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 104 – Erza VS Misaki: Unshatterable

A dimension that distorts the flow of time within the body opposed to the time externally affecting it. That is the ability Misaki wields to trap her opponent within the inevitability of defeat. Her seemingly absolute sovereign within her Blue Dimension allows her a precedence capable of extinguishing any challenge within a matter of seconds. Immobilizing physicality, Misaki capitalizes on the confusion to launch fatal blows on her enemies that don’t usually get back up after the initial encounter. But there is a first time for everything and it appears Misaki may have met a obstacle she cannot break. An unshatterable individual who doesn’t get washed away by the flow of her techniques.

One Piece Chapter 1044 – Luffy VS Kaido: Joy Boy Awakens

The hands of fate tick forward guided by the age ascending to the dawn. And with its ascent, it cast out reverberating waves of sound that embody the beat of drums carrying liberation within its breath. Empowered by this resonance, Luffy has reawakened and within his spirit so too the representation of the Sun. Joy Boy has arrived and the truth surrounding Luffy and the Gomu Gomu no Mi has come into focus. How will Kaido react to Luffy’s current state when he discovers that the opponent before him is the Joy Boy he is aware will bring the world to salvation. Instinctively, Kaido already knows Luffy is special. Relief colours his smile and satisfaction imbues his breath. All Kaido needs is proof that Luffy is Joy Boy. And Kaido will receive it in this battle.

Edens Zero Chapter 184 – Elsie VS Ziggy: Impact

It is not easy to vilify a parental figure within your life, especially one who removed you from circumstances embedded in destruction, terror and war. When Elsie looks at Ziggy, she is reminded of a time in her life impressed in joy, love and salvation. Ziggy did save Elsie and the subsequent care she received aboard the Edens Zero established an environment within which she could recover physically, mentally and spiritually. To Elsie, the image of Ziggy had become synonymous with shades of altruism. And to now reconcile those feelings against the current reality that Ziggy is in fact a madman seeking to end life, the step she is required to take may in fact be too heavy within this moment.

Elsie was the spark that ignited the conflict overflowing within factions of the Kaede Cosmos. She may not have been the cause for the conflict but she did become the basis on which the dissenting factions could maneuver their antagonism through. Under the pretense of “unraveling an unchecked power that grew too strong” war was waged. Guilt would have been one of the elements gnawing away within Elsie as she sunk within misery but it was due to the crew of the Edens Zero that her young self could navigate out from that darkness and onto a path filled with hope and motivation. Elsie is who she is because of the time she spent aboard the Edens Zero. Such emotions within her heart resonates every moment she interacts with Ziggy. The battle she wages is not only against Ziggy but also against the impressions of her heart that recalls happier times.

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 103 – Lucy VS Kiria: Memories

In those moments when Lucy’s back is against a wall with her comrades behind her and no where to go but through the enemy, she displays flashes of potential that ascends her capabilities to levels embodying that of some of the strongest mages in the story. The manner in how Lucy evolves her Celestial Magic in addition to being able to continuously improve how she can stack her spells on top of her summoning establishes how immense her capacity for magic is. If Lucy was one who naturally sought out strength, how far could she push her Celestial Magic? If she could tap into her boundless potential without the need for external circumstances, how powerful of a mage could she become?

Edens Zero Chapter 183 – Elsie Crimson: Home

Lendard was not only a former kingdom in the Kaede Cosmos but it was in fact the homeworld of Elsie Crimson, whose real name is Elsie Le Lendard. This planet was the one where Elsie’s life changed forever after attempting to end the obsession the kingdom had for arms development. In pursuit of such an end, she unknowingly initiated a war that would engulf the whole Cosmos and end the rule of the Le Lendard family. Her choices driven by innocent hopes of peace resulted in the destruction of the society existing within the Kaede Cosmos. Additionally, it was during her escape from Lendard where she lost/injured her right eye. Now having returned home, Elsie seeks to put a stop to Lendard’s weapon manufacturing once again. This time by defeating Ziggy.

One Piece Chapter 1043 – The Return Of Joy Boy

After this chapter Yamato’s relevance has begun to touch the realms of essential. The path forward is very much set-up to be alongside the Straw Hat Pirates. As the story begins to embrace the significance of Joy Boy more, Yamato becomes more necessary as the agent of Oden who intends to assist the one the world has been waiting for. Dissenters can can disapprove. They can disillusion themselves. They can attach their hope onto something that may or may not manifest. But what they can’t ignore is the direction of the plot and the writing of Oda. Joy Boy has returned and with it a will spanning 800 years has been inherited by Luffy who now takes on such a role. No one expected this out of Luffy, except Yamato, who realised Luffy’s importance to the person the world has been waiting for after Ace’s execution two years ago. The pieces of information Yamato possessed in the form of Oden’s journal, the newspaper articles and even what little information they had from Kaido and the Beast Pirates, he pieced it all together to arrive at the conclusion that the one person capable of fulfilling the promise left unfulfilled by the ancient figure is Monkey D. Luffy.

One Piece Chapter 1042 – Luffy VS Kaido: Trauma Of Victory

Ever since the moment it happened, that event has haunted Kaido. Persistently. Relentlessly. And Continuously. The unearned victory he claimed over Kozuki Oden who represented someone capable of overwhelming him never embodied a victory within Kaido’s mind. Not really. Kaido’s anger following Oden’s defeat in the presence of underhanded tactics took the form of an execution carried out on the one directly responsible for the situation. Kurozumi Higurashi was killed. And now with the same scenario playing out in front of Kaido but with different actors, I don’t see the reaction from Kaido to be any different in regards to the one responsible for the intervention. Rather, the resulting consequence would be many fold more severe.

Edens Zero Chapter 182 – Enter [Sword Of Edens]

Ascend to the pinnacle of form and cast out all doubt staining ones edge from the clear path of craft. Whether it be by the blade or the weapons of code, the pursuit of transcendence defines itself within the journey of self-discovery. Know oneself before knowing the enemy. Despite the differing abilities between the Four Shining Stars, they each possess unrivaled abilities that shoulder the Edens Zero. And through their conveyance of resolve, an avenue toward an end of death and destructive is paved. Hermit illuminated the path and Homura cleared it for those now carrying the responsibility forward.

Edens Zero Chapter 181 – Appearance Of A God

What an unexpected complication for there to be within this eleventh hour. Not only was Ziggy able to ally with Deadend Crow but it has now also come to the Edens Zero’s attention that Ziggy too engaged into an alliance with God Acnoella. The terms of such an agreement remain a mystery but with another member of the Oración Seis Galáctica joining Ziggy, the battle at hand has become an insurmountable task for those looking to end death and destruction. Ziggy has revealed part of his hand and now it is up to the Edens Zero team to respond. Will another potential ally of there’s reveal itself or can their current forces handle two Oración Seis Galáctica and Ziggy.

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest Chapter 102 – Lucy VS Kiria: Dominion

Strength is such a variable concept as no matter how overwhelming it becomes, there can arise a seemingly inconsequential attribute that serves to completely dismantle the power that initially appeared infallible. This is the form Kiria’s Dragon Slayer magic takes. On face value, it doesn’t appear to be as immense as other magics but the fascinating aspect of Kiria’s abilities is how it can distort both the magical and psychological aspect of the target. What Kiria cuts when she attacks is the hostility directed towards her that is entrenched within the individual. Which in turn establishes the obedience that she exploits. Kiria did it with Erza before and now with Laxus. Amusingly, it does seem set-up that Lucy will take the role Kiria played during her battle against Erza and Laxus in regards to overwhelming them with her magic. Lucy will utilise a magic that will in the end dismantle Kiria’s strength.
