Haikyuu!!! Chapter 235:

Karasuno is still in a dogfight match with first-round foe Tsubakihara. After losing to Shiratorizawa last year, the guys from Tsubakihara Academy is more than determined to beat the very same crows that defeated Ushiwaka 'the Eagle.'

Although Kageyama somehow found his groove back in the last chapter, problems continue to surface as the match progress. Hinata is clearly not his best and Kageyama doubts the pressure of playing in front of many people is affecting his buddy and the team as a whole.

Meanwhile, members of the Date Tech, the last team Karasuno had a tune-up with before the inter-high competition, are anxiously watching the match. The two previous captains of Karasuno were also in attendance and proud of Daichi Sawamura's accomplishment.

Shokugeki no Soma Chapter 196 :

Saiba has always been known for serving failed dishes to his dorm-mates, including first-year Jun. Being the top cook in whole Totsuki, Saiba was picked to represent the school in the World Young Cooking Competition, known as the "THE BLUE." But before the actual competiton, Saiba decided to have a cook-off with Dojima and Azami, which he won convincingly.

Saiba considered the Polar Star Dormitory as the best place to hone his skills presumably because of the quality of competition in the Dorm. Saiba's entry to The BLUE was shrouded by controversy after 50 students accused him of bribing organizers of the event. Feeling insulted by the accusations, Saiba challenge the 50 students to a Shokugeki (Regiment de Cuisine) with his participation in the BLUE at stake.

As expected, Saiba obliterated each one of them and even beat 10 of them all at once. He was truly a prodigy, a title the young Saiba abhored so much. Soma's father believed the title of genius or prodigy diminishes the work he put in to master all kinds of cuisines.

At the time too, Dojima and Azami noticed that Saiba was no longer the same person they once knew. The smile had gone and a new Demon (Ashura) rose up.


Boku no Hero Academia Chapter 120:

The issue opens up with the result of the popularity contest. Kacchan garners the top spot with Deku, Shouto, Eraserhead and Eijirou rounding out the top-5. All Might apparently is only the sixth popular character in the series.

Back to Deku vs. Kacchan show. Deku/Modoriya admitted that he was quite surprised with his speed. H experienced dramatic change in his speed as he shifted gears from 5 to 8 percent.

Deku went on to say that when 'the feeling of I need to win surpasses the feeling of I need to rescue,' he has tendency to say bad words. However, in the end, Deku still considers Kacchan the image of victory.

Deku and Kacchan decides to settle the fight mid-air. Deku hits Kacchan with a massive punch, but Bakugou counters with an explosive right. That proved to be the telling blow as Kacchan finally came on top in the fight.

All Might arrived in the scene with the purpose of solving the rift between the childhood friends. He told Kacchan he understands what he feels but his decision to give One for All to Deku was based on the latter's exemplary hero attributes.

Then again, All Might explained to the two that they need to both win and rescue for them to be successful heroes. After hearing All Might's words, Kacchan promised not to tell the secret to anybody. A pact that will be tested in the coming chapter of My Hero Academia.
