Rubber man versus food! I have the feeling Luffy would absolutely destroy any other character in Weekly Shonen Jump manga in an eating contest. His stomach is practically limitless! This is but a mere snack to him!
One Piece
by Eiichiro Oda
Luffy's fought a lot of baddies, but he hasn't sumo wrestled much. Until this chapter! But sumo wrestling isn't like scrapping—there are very specific rules. Sumo is kind of a slappy sport. You can't strike with a closed fist or kick, which are two of Luffy's big moves. Looks like he's gonna have to learn fast because he's up against a sumo wrestler the size of a house!
Dr. Stone
story by Riichiro Inagaki, art by Boichi
Chrome is busting loose! Armed with the power of science and all the determination in the world, he's going to be quite a match for Tsukasa's uneducated forces. But what they lack in know-how, they more than make up for it in muscle. It's the classic brains versus brawn battle!
Black Clover
by Yûki Tabata
The Crimson Lion Kings are under attack by a powerful foe who bears a slight resemblance to Orlando Bloom! But this handsome foe is not acting when he's trying to murder everyone in sight. And he's got the power to do it. Even the senior mages are getting tossed around like rag dolls. Who can possibly stand up to this really good looking enemy?!
My Hero Academia

We Never Learn

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
story by Yuto Tsukuda, art Shun Saeki, contributor Yuki Morisaki
What seemed like a fun day at the beach has turned into a nightmare. A finals nightmare, that is! The students of Totsuki Institute have to man a restaurant on the beach and pull in one million yen a day or they fail! Erina, the new Dean is not pulling any punches. Can they meet their daily quota?

One-Punch Man
story by ONE, art by Yusuke Murata
The Hero Hunter's got a grudge against the Monster Association, and he's taking it right to their doorstep. It's been quite a week for him as he's nearly been beaten to death a few times. Strangely, he only seems to just keep getting stronger. But when he comes face-to-face with a hellish dog with a threat level of "Demon," he just may end up being a doggy treat!
