My Hero Academia
by Kohei Horikoshi

All for One is scary. Even if I saw the guy walking down Market Street in San Francisco, I'd be scared. In fact, I'd probably go outta my way to cross the street to make sure he's on the other sidewalk. And to give you an idea on just how powerful he is, he's fighting All Might...by himself...and from the looks of things, he's winning! But All Might does have a handicap when fighting this malicious villain...Bakugo's safe recovery!

Hunter x Hunter
by Yoshihiro Togashi

Can this fight get even more epic? Chrollo's really taking it to Hisoka, using all sorts of trickery and strategy to confuse and stun the seasoned fighter. But, despite all the obstacles and drawbacks in his way, Hisoka is...truly happy! Only a battle-hungry nutter like Hisoka can find beauty in Chrollo's systematic and deliberate methods to take him out. Will all that extra, loving attention Hisoka pays to Chrollo's battle prowess help him flip the script at the end? Or is he doomed to drown himself in a sea of pain and happiness?!

Toriko

You know how people claim to see God in near-death experiences? Well...though this isn't quite the same, Toriko and friends are literally in the presence of God as the world crumbles around them! God takes on the form of an incredibly strong frog-like creature, easily swatting away Toriko's attacks. And now the situation is even more dire with the appearance of both Neo and Joie!
