    New Solo Leveling Sequel Seasons Officially Announced In Latest Update

    Over the last few years, Solo Leveling has become the world’s most popular manhwa series. The story by Chugong has redefined the medium and has inspired countless manga that came after it. Sadly, Solo Leveling’s novel ended in 2018, and its manhwa, which brought that novel to life, ended in 2020.

    With no anime return this year, we’ve all instead been captivated by the sequel to Solo Leveling, known as Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, which follows the story of Jinwoo’s son, Sung Suho. Previously having gone on hiatus in January 2026, Redice Studio finally makes a comeback with Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 3 on November 5, 2026.

    This return was highly anticipated, and based on the content that this new season is about to cover, it cannot feasibly conclude Daul’s novel. Instead, we have more future seasons officially set up. At the very least, we are definitely going to get Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 4 and 5, with a lot of exciting events and story arcs awaiting our new protagonist.

    Solo Leveling Ragnarok Returns With Season 3 on November 5

    When speaking of Solo Leveling, the most popular character of the series, who stands as the highlight of the franchise, is undoubtedly the main character, Sung Jinwoo. The story of his rise to power after his debut as a meek Hunter has captivated every reader and made Solo Leveling as big as it is today. Sadly, Jinwoo’s story is already over, at the very least, as a novel and as a manhwa. That said, even though his own story is over, his son’s adventure has only just started. Solo Leveling has its own sequel, known as Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. The sequel sees Jinwoo’s and Cha Hae-In’s son, Sung Suho, take the lead, possessing similar powers to his Shadow Monarch father but using them with his own twist.

    Sung Suho’s story ended as a novel in 2025, when Daul, the new author, concluded the book with chapter 375. However, the manhwa adaptation, handled by Redice Studio, the same studio behind Solo Leveling’s original manhwa, is nowhere near its conclusion. Previously, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok went on hiatus starting January 7, 2026, due to the sudden departure of the artist Jin, who was enlisted in the South Korean military.

    Finally, after months of delay, a new artist has taken on the role of drawing Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. Sanjimseung, the artist previously highlighted in works like Ice Lord, is now working on this sensational story. With Sanjimseung on the team, the Manhwa of Solo Leveling: Ragnarok has kickstarted Season 3 on November 5, 2026, with three new chapters, those being Chapters 69, 70, and 71. For the foreseeable future, we’re going to be getting more releases for Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 3. However, this new season is far from being the end of the story, with a lot more content on the way for Sung Suho.

    Solo Leveling Ragnarok To Get More Season Installments Following Season 3

    Image created by the author Rei Penber using official assets.

    As previously mentioned, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok, the sequel to the original story, has two completed manhwa seasons. The first manhwa season was serialized from August 1, 2024, to April 2, 2025. It contained, in total, 47 chapters, which adapted 57 chapters of the novel. Season 2, which started on August 6, 2025, and ended on January 7, 2026, continued the story, but published only 21 manhwa chapters, adapting up to around chapter 110 of the novel.

    Now, when it comes to Season 3, a lot has changed with the departure of Jin and the arrival of Sanjimseung. The new author is continuing with new weekly releases and completely taking over. Sanjimseung has thus picked up the work and started adapting past chapter 110 of the Solo Leveling: Ragnarok novel. It’s hard to predict how long Solo Leveling Season 3 will be and how many chapters of the novel it will adapt. As Seasons 1 and 2 have been wildly inconsistent, with varying numbers of chapters and unfaithful adaptations of the novel, we can’t predict exactly when the season will end.

    Image by Rei Penber created using Solo Leveling assets

    If we assume that Solo Leveling Season 3 adapts up to 30 chapters, then there are still many more installments to look forward to for Solo Leveling: Ragnarok. For context, the novel of Ragnarok has 375 chapters in total, and it’s only now that the story is really heating up. With that in mind, we can assume that there will be at least two more seasons following Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 3, each adapting more than 30 chapters of the novel story, featuring potential modifications that Redice Studio sees fit along the way.

    In other words, we will have Solo Leveling: Ragnarok content for at least 2 to 3 years to come, possibly even longer. Of course, it also all depends on how consistent Sanjimseung is with his work and how many breaks along the way the team will take. For now, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok Season 3 is not ending anytime soon, and certainly not in 2026.

    The Future Of Sung Suho’s Story After Ragnarok Season 3

    Image by Rei Penber created using Solo Leveling assets

    In general, Solo Leveling has gotten a lot of attention over the years due to it blowing up internationally. With that being said, Solo Leveling Ragnarok is far from being the main focus of the fanbase. In fact, most fans are only familiar with Sung Jinwoo’s story, as it is the original series and has received all the projects and global attention. The biggest highlight of Solo Leveling has been the anime adaptation by Japanese studios Aniplex and A-1 Pictures, which also made it Crunchyroll’s most popular series and a global icon recognizable to any anime fan.

    However, Sung Jinwoo’s story isn’t all that long. After the release of the upcoming movie, Solo Leveling: Beyond the System, in 2027, at most, Solo Leveling will have two more animated projects afterwards focusing on Sung Jinwoo’s story. With the grand acclaim of the franchise, we’re sure that the studios will turn their attention to the story of Jinwoo’s son, Solo Leveling Ragnarok. By that point, the Solo Leveling Ragnarok manhwa will definitely be over, which means that we will likely get an anime adaptation bringing Sung Suho and his story to life. This anime adaptation will allow Sung Suho to gain great fame and popularity. While Solo Leveling: Ragnarok might never be as popular as the original, it still has massive potential as the successor to the original Solo Leveling.

    Solo Leveling Ragnarok Season 3 is currently ongoing. Season 1, Season 2, as well as the ongoing Season 3, are all available on Tapas until March 31, 2027.

  • OpenAI’s Lockdown Mode Was Bypassable: Researchers Say Chat Histories Could Be Exfiltrated — BigGo Finance

    OpenAI’s Lockdown Mode Was Bypassable: Researchers Say Chat Histories Could Be Exfiltrated — BigGo Finance

    OpenAI’s Lockdown Mode, a security setting designed to blunt prompt-injection attacks, could be circumvented in a way that let an attacker pull an entire ChatGPT conversation history off a victim’s machine, according to research from Check Point Research. The flaw has since been closed.

    The weakness lay in the HTML preview feature OpenAI added to ChatGPT code blocks in February 2026, which renders model-generated web code inside a sandbox. That sandbox permitted popups, so a nested frame could spawn a new window that fell outside Lockdown Mode’s protections, and data flowing from that window could be routed to an attacker-controlled server. Check Point said an attack could be launched through a malicious prompt, a malicious GPT or a shared chat.

    The exposure was not uniform across clients. In a browser, the victim still had to click the preview, though an attacker could dress it up to look innocuous. The Electron-based ChatGPT Classic desktop app was the more dangerous surface: it opened new windows without any user action at all, so simply holding a conversation was enough to leak the chat history, according to the researchers. Phishing forms opened from that same window also appeared to be part of ChatGPT itself, making fake sign-in screens harder to spot.

    OpenAI patched the issue on September 18, and Check Point retested afterward and confirmed the technique no longer works. Users do not need to take any action, since the fix was applied on OpenAI’s servers.

    Element Detail
    Root cause HTML preview sandbox in ChatGPT code blocks allowed popups, letting a nested frame open an uncovered window
    Attack vectors Malicious prompt, malicious GPT, shared chat
    Browser exposure Required a click on the preview
    ChatGPT Classic exposure New windows opened with no user action; conversation alone leaked history
    Fix date September 18, 2026
    Verification Check Point retested and confirmed the technique fails

    Note: Dates and details as reported by Check Point Research and OpenAI documentation.

    The HTML preview was also implicated in a separate flaw involving shared ChatGPT links that exposed private conversations the previous month, a reminder that preview rendering has become a recurring weak point in the product’s attack surface.

    Lockdown Mode itself remains a worthwhile control, but OpenAI is explicit that it is not a universal setting. The company says it “is not intended for everyone” and positions it for individuals and organizations handling sensitive data. Enabling it disables a substantial list of capabilities: web browsing is confined to cached content, images are not fetched from the web, and Deep Research, Agent Mode, live connectors and file downloads are switched off. Image generation continues to function. The toggle does not affect whether conversations are used for model training, which is governed separately through data controls.

    The setting lives under Settings, then Security, then Advanced security, and is available to eligible personal accounts and self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts depending on plan and rollout. It can be turned off for a single chat from the chat menu. For shared chats of unknown provenance, opening them in a private browser window without signing in is the safer route. The per-chat PIN lock, meanwhile, only prevents someone with physical access to a device from reading a conversation; it offers no defense against the class of attack described here.

    Separately, OpenAI this week introduced GPT-6 Cyber, a model it is restricting to vetted security teams rather than releasing publicly. According to the company, the system identified 948 privilege-escalation vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel over seven days at a token cost of about $1.21 million, work it framed as equivalent to roughly 50 years of human security research. OpenAI said the model also surfaced 81 previously unknown high-severity flaws with reproduction code and patches, some of which shipped to users in Firefox 159. The company paired the launch with a $1 billion “Daybreak Defenders” funding program.

    The two developments point in the same direction for enterprises weighing AI deployment. Model capability is advancing faster than the guardrails around it, and the safeguards that do exist tend to be narrow by design. Lockdown Mode reduces a specific category of risk, but the Check Point findings show that a single rendering feature with permissive defaults can undo much of that protection, particularly in desktop clients that act without user consent. Security teams evaluating ChatGPT for sensitive work should treat preview rendering, shared-link handling and desktop client behavior as distinct risks rather than assuming a single toggle covers them, and should press vendors on how quickly such gaps are patched and disclosed.

    For OpenAI, the disclosure is a test of how it manages the tension between shipping features quickly and securing them. The company fixed the flaw before public disclosure and the research firm confirmed the fix, which is the outcome regulators and corporate buyers want to see. But the episode also illustrates why Lockdown Mode’s own documentation warns that it is not for everyone: the strongest protections come at the cost of functionality, and the weaker ones can be routed around.

  • Baby Giant may sariling bahay na, thankful kay Coco Martin

    Baby Giant may sariling bahay na, thankful kay Coco Martin

    NAKABILI ng sarili niyang bahay si Baby Giant o mas kilala bilang si Oweng sa “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” kaya abut-abot ang pagpapasalamat niya kay Coco Martin dahil handpicked siya para sa karakter niya at parte siya ng Tropa ni Tanggol.

    Inabot din ng tatlong taon si Baby Giant sa serye at kusa niyang pinapatay ang karakter niyang Oweng dahil hindi na niya kaya ang pagod at puyat sa tapings.

    Naikuwento it oni Baby Giant sa “Unplugged” vlog ni Julius Babao na kaka-upload lang nitong Biyernes at umabot na sa 1.4M views.

    Aniya, “Dapat sabay kaming mga tropa (mamatay lahat) ako lang ‘yung naiba sa amin kasi ang totoo no’n nagpaalam talaga ako.”

    Nagulat si Julius, “Ahhh, nagpaalam ka?  Ano ang istorya no’n?”

    Baka Bet Mo: Barbie Imperial ibinandera ang ‘boyfriend’, sino nga ba?

    Oo nga naman ang dami-daming gustong mapasama sa mga program ani Coco Martin at nanalangin na sana hindi sila mawala dahil may regular silang pinagkakakitaan pero iba ang kuwento ni Baby Giant.

    “Bumaba ‘yung immune system ko kasi nagpa check-up ako no’n kulang ako sa tulog, bumaba immune system ko, nagpa-palpitate ako, obesity ako no’n, ‘yun ang case ko at kailangan ko raw ng mahabang pahinga. Grabe talaga ang itinaba ko sobrang bilog na bilog ‘yung tiyan ko, eh,” kuwento ni Oweng.

    Ang dahilan kaya tumaba si Baby Giant ay, “siguro kasi kain ako ng kain wala akong exercise (at) nakakapag-exercise lang ako pag takbuhan ang eksena.”

    Tuwing Lunes, MIyerkoles at Biyernes ang taping ng Batang Quiapo kaya hindi nakakabawi ng tamang tulog si Baby Giant kaya kapag ang eksena ay takbuhan ay nagpa-palpitate siya.

    “Lagi akong tsine-check ng medic kaya nagsabi ako sa producer ko tapos pinakita ko ‘yung medical (certificate) ko at nag-aprub naman sila,” kuwento ni Oweng.

    Inamin din ng kilalang content creator turned actor na hindi siya nagdalawang isip na iwan ang Batang Quiapo kapalit ng health niya dahil hindi nito alam kung anong susunod na mangyayari sa kanya at bata pa siya sa edad na 24.

    “Sabi ni direk Coco na may eksena kami at kung kaya ko pa na puwedeng burahin ‘yung eksenang ginawa na namin (patay siya).

    “Tanong ni direk Coco, ‘kaya mo pa?  Kung kaya mo pa ‘yung kinunan nating namatay ka, babalewalain natin’ buhay ulit ako, e, tanggap ko na sabi ko,” natatawang kuwento ni Oweng.

    Sa tatlong taon niya sa BQ ay nakaipon siya ng pambili ng bahay na may mga kasamang gamit na dahil ito ang pangarap niya para sa kanya at eventually makasama ang pamilya niyang nasa Antique.

    “Sabi ko sa kanila (pamilya) na sa Pasko magsama-sama kami at makikita nila ‘yung bahay ko.  Sa ngayon kasi Tito ko ang kasama ko,” masayang sabi ni Baby Giant.

    Bukod sa bahay ay nakabili rin ng sasakyan niya at motor ang aktor na nagagamit niya sa tapings noon pero ngayong wala na siyang regular serye ay ang pagiging content creator at live streaming ang pinagkakakitaan niya para sa araw-araw nitong pangangailangan.

    At ngayong nakapagpahinga na siya ay open na ulit siyang mag-trabaho at sana mapasama siya sa Sigabo na umeere ngayon.

  • 7 Anime Swordsmen Who Can Defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni

    7 Anime Swordsmen Who Can Defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni

    When it comes to anime swordsmen, Demon Slayer‘s Yoriichi Tsugikuni easily qualifies as one of the strongest. His swordplay is one in a million, making him a force of nature on the battlefield despite his ordinary human body. He is responsible for countless demon kills throughout the series, even coming close to killing Muzan Kibutsuji himself.

    Although Yoriichi Tsugikuni from Demon Slayer is an unparalleled swordsman in his own universe, several anime swordsmen can surpass him in both power and swordsmanship. They are superior to Yoriichi in almost every area, making the breathing style progenitor seem relatively weak in comparison.

    Asta’s Incredible Speed and Strength Put Yoriichi at a Major Disadvantage

    Asta unleashes his power, accessing Devil Union mode.

    While Asta isn’t the most serious anime swordsman, there’s no denying his exceptional skills. He wouldn’t be a suitable Wizard King candidate without mastering his anti-magic swords, which grant him unique advantages on the battlefield. He can perform incredible feats with his weapons, from riding and enlarging them to protecting the entire living world, all while negating magic.

    Although Yoriichi’s swordsmanship is unmatched in Demon Slayer, his overall power pales in comparison to Asta’s, making this an incredibly one-sided matchup in favor of the five-leaf grimoire user. Despite possessing extraordinary Sun Breathing techniques capable of killing demons in an instant, Yoriichi would struggle to keep up with Asta’s overwhelming speed and combat abilities. Asta could easily catch the legendary swordsman off guard, as Yoriichi simply cannot match the speed and power of a fighter operating on his level.

    Kisame Hoshigaki Can Overwhelm Yoriichi Without Even Drawing Samehada

    Kisame Hoshigaki is one of the most dangerous swordsmen in Naruto, with phenomenal displays of power that easily earn him a place among the franchise’s strongest characters. Wielding the iconic Samehada, Kisame becomes a ruthless opponent who can overpower even formidable shinobi, especially those who dare challenge his swordsmanship.

    Kisame is also one of the Akatsuki’s most formidable members, capable of completing dangerous missions alone or alongside a partner. Even without Samehada, he possesses powerful ninjutsu that would allow him to easily overpower Yoriichi, giving the legendary Demon Slayer little chance of winning.

    Benimaru’s Swordplay Is More Than Yoriichi Can Handle

    Demon Slayer anime swordsmen who can defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni

    Rimuru Tempest has an outstanding swordsman under his command in Benimaru, whose exceptional swordsmanship earns him the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Jura Tempest Federation’s military. Combined with his formidable magical abilities, his mastery of the blade makes him one of Rimuru’s three most powerful subordinates.

    On the battlefield, Benimaru often infuses his sword with flames, almost like a Flame Hashira from Demon Slayer. However, unlike the flames produced by Breathing Styles, his fire is real and incredibly deadly, capable of burning massive groups of enemies to ashes. He also possesses two distinct sword styles, allowing him to prioritize offense or defense depending on his opponent. Neither style would give Yoriichi much of a chance, as the legendary swordsman has no reliable way to counter Benimaru’s overwhelming firepower.

    Yoriichi’s Sun Breathing Cannot Stop Arthur Boyle

    Demon Slayer anime swordsmen who can defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni

    Arthur Boyle eventually becomes the strongest fighter in Fire Force, thanks to his broken abilities and unique swordsmanship that no other character in the series can replicate. His strength is directly tied to his imagination and sense of knighthood, as the more he embraces his identity as a gallant knight, the more powerful he becomes as a swordsman.

    If Yoriichi were to fight Arthur, catching him in a foul mood would be his best chance of winning. However, Arthur rarely holds back, as he approaches nearly every battle with the determination to defeat his opponent and prove his superiority. In a serious matchup, Yoriichi would have no chance against Arthur, whose overwhelming abilities put him far beyond the legendary demon slayer.

    Yoriichi Cannot Keep Up With Roronoa Zoro’s Haki and Sword Techniques

    The Straw Hats have a formidable swordmaster in Roronoa Zoro, a gutsy pirate who dreams of becoming the world’s strongest swordsman by eventually surpassing the mighty Dracule Mihawk. Armed with multiple katanas, powerful Haki abilities, and incredible physical conditioning, Zoro has everything he needs to turn his ambitious dream into reality.

    Enter Yoriichi, the legendary progenitor of Breathing Styles in Demon Slayer, who stands as the series’ equivalent of Dracule Mihawk due to his unmatched swordsmanship. However, despite Yoriichi’s extraordinary blade skills, Zoro’s ever-growing strength and increasingly powerful sword techniques put him far beyond the legendary demon slayer. In a potential showdown, Zoro would have the clear advantage and emerge as the likely winner.

    Yoriichi Would Struggle to Survive Inuyasha’s Tessaiga

    Inuyasha is one of the iconic swordsmen of older anime, known for wielding the immensely powerful Tessaiga. This legendary sword can absorb demonic powers, deflect energy attacks, and extend to an enormous size, allowing Inuyasha to unleash devastating strikes against his enemies.

    Although Inuyasha is a reckless fighter, his mastery of the Tessaiga allows him to keep up with a superior swordsman like Sesshomaru. With the legendary blade at his disposal, Inuyasha can easily overpower Yoriichi, forcing the Demon Slayer to surrender due to the enormous gap in their physical abilities and overall power.

    Igris Can Defeat Yoriichi Without Relying on Jinwoo

    Demon Slayer anime swordsmen who can defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni

    Igris is arguably the greatest swordsman in the world of Solo Leveling, with even Sung Jinwoo acknowledging that his swordsmanship surpasses his own. Armed with the Demon King’s Longsword, Igris can take on powerful magic beasts and even stand against Monarch-level opponents. When it comes to pure swordsmanship, few can match him, unless Jinwoo continues developing his own blade skills.

    As such, Yoriichi, who operates on a considerably lower power scale than Igris, would be at a severe disadvantage. Unlike ordinary swordsmen, Igris can repeatedly return to the battlefield as long as Sung Jinwoo’s shadow powers remain available to resurrect him. Killing Igris permanently would be nearly impossible for a human like Yoriichi, even with his exceptional swordsmanship and mastery of Sun Breathing.

  • Orbiter Detects Signs of Activity on Mars

    Orbiter Detects Signs of Activity on Mars

    While many scientists have long held that Mars is “geologically dead” inside, new research is adding to the growing body of evidence to the contrary.

    As detailed in a new paper published in the journal Science Advances, an international team of researchers examined data collected by the European and Russian ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter in 2021, which found that Mars is slowly belching hydrogen chloride gas. The researchers suggest this gas is being released from hot magma deep beneath its surface after discovering intriguing new fissures along a massive volcano, indicating the planet may be geologically active after all — or at least it was until relatively recently.

    The research could have significant implications for the possibility of ancient life on the Red Planet, hinting at a far warmer and thicker atmosphere — and an abundance of liquid water on its surface — in its not-too-distant past.

    “Our findings suggest that Mars has retained enough internal heat to support volcanic activity until recently, and possibly still does,” said colead author and Polish Academy of Sciences professor Daniel Mège in a statement about the research.

    While scientists have long observed variations in hydrogen chloride emissions across the Red Planet that coincide with its seasons, they were puzzled by spikes that occurred in unexpected places and at unusual times. More specifically, they observed spikes around the flanks of the Alba Mons, the biggest volcano on Mars in terms of surface area.

    The team discovered new fissures measuring thousands of feet in length around the region, suggesting ongoing activity underneath the surface. The researchers discovered discolorations along these fissures, concluding that they may be the result of seeping gases leaving mineral deposits similar to volcanic gas vents on Earth.

    “The Trace Gas Orbiter was able to find the smoking gun,” Mège said. “It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It’s truly amazing that it spotted a handful of molecules from a perhaps intermittent source, whilst moving continuously along its orbit to monitor the whole martian atmosphere.”

    The fissures could also be a perfect place to find evidence of past life on the Red Planet.

    “Looking for martian life in the seeping fissures of the Alba Mons region would make a lot of sense,” Mège argued. “If hydrothermal systems are active, they could contain the ingredients and energy needed for microorganisms to develop, and shield microorganisms from the hostile and changing environment above the surface.”

  • Samsung Expected To One-Up Fitbit Edge With Bonus Feature

    Samsung Expected To One-Up Fitbit Edge With Bonus Feature

    The Fitbit Edge has one obvious missing feature, NFC for wireless payments. But Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Fit4 may well have it according to the latest leaks.

    As spotted by SamMobile, leaked screenshots of the Samsung Galaxy Fit4’s app interface suggest Samsung’s next Edge alternative is likely to have it.

    The screenshots show an entry for a Wallet feature, implying NFC will be on-board.

    It’s notable not just because the feature is not present in the Fitbit Edge, but because it is not seen in the Samsung Galaxy Fit3 from 2024 either.

    Google’s excuse for leaving it out of the Fitbit Edge, when it was present in the Fitbit Charge 6, was that fewer than one per cent of owners actually used it. I see plenty of folks using an Apple Watch for wireless payments or public transport tap-ins, but other wearables? I have very little sense of how often NFC is actually used.

    One other interpretation is Google wants to shave every cent it can off the Fitbit Edge’s manufacturing cost. But then again it absolutely was not stingy in other areas. An Edge has a barometric altimeter, dual temperature sensors and ECG capability — I would not be surprised if the Samsung Galaxy Fit4 lacks all of these.

    Fitbit Edge Versus Galaxy Fit4

    Last month Android Authority posted leaked renders of the wearable, which appear to show it’s very similar to the Fit3 on sale today. This suggests it’s going to be a GPS-free tracker, one likely to sell as a much lower cost than the Fitbit Edge. The Fit3 currently sells for just $57.99 online.

    There’s a complicating factor here, though. The Fit4 went through FCC certification in August, and that filing made no mention of NFC, just its Bluetooth 5.4 credentials. NFC is by no means confirmed for the tracker, and it could potentially be a feature only seen in some markets, rather than globally.

    The next big question: when will the Samsung Galaxy Fit4 arrive? It can’t be long given a listing for the device’s Manager app — used by Samsung wearables — has appeared on the Galaxy Store already.

    Other features you can expect from the Samsung Galaxy Fit4 include an OLED display, long battery life approaching two weeks and 5ATM water resistnace, all of which are found in the Fit3 and are standard for the category. The big question: is the Fitbit Edge worth up to $100 more?

    NAGBABALA ang ABS-CBN talent management arm na Star Magic kaugnay sa mga negatibong komento na natatanggap ng mga “Pinoy Big Brother: Collab 3.0” na sina Cianne Dominguez at Shea Valerio.

    Sa inilabas nilang opisyal na pahayag nitong Biyernes, November 3, kinondena nila ang mga negatibong komento na ibinabato sa dalawa pati na rin sa ibang housemates.

    “Star Magic strongly condemns the online bullying, harassment, and personal attacks directed toward Cianne Dominguez, Shea Valerio and other ‘Pinoy Big Brother’ housemates,” saad sa naturang pahayag.

    Pagpapatuloy nila, “While public opinions and criticisms are part of reality television, they should never be an excuse for hate or cruelty.”

    Baka Bet Mo: Cianne Dominguez sinita ng mga fans ni Jeo Ong, anyare!?

    Hinihikayat rin ng Star Magic na maging responsable sa mga ibinabahagi sa social media.

    “We encourage everyone to practice responsible social media engagement and remember that differences in opinion should always be met with respect and compassion,” dagdag pa nila.

    Matatandaang kaliwa’t-kanan ang natatanggap nina Cianne at Shea dahil hindi nagustuhan ng mga fans ang ginagawa umanong backstabbing nila sa kapwa housemate na si Gehlee Dangca.

    Samantala, hindi rin nagustuhan ng netizens ang ginawa ni Cianne kay Jeo nang sabihan niya ito na may mabahong hininga.

    Samantala, nilinaw naman ng celebrity dentist na si Dr. Ralph Figaroa Delas Alas o si Doc RFD na fresh ang hiniga ni Jeo dahil siya ang nangangalaga ng dental health nito.

  • Black Clover Creator Tabata Unveils Asta’s New Strongest Weapon

    Black Clover Creator Tabata Unveils Asta’s New Strongest Weapon

    Black Clover, a magical shonen series, follows the story of the main character, Asta, for over 10 years. Asta began his journey with no magic, but after acquiring his Five Clover Devilish Grimoire, he obtained one of the most overpowered abilities of all in the form of Anti-Magic. Anti-Magic allows Asta to cancel and nullify all mana-based abilities. However, to wield this power to its full potential, Asta needs an Anti-Magic weapon.

    In the Black Clover story, Asta has possessed four main weapons, but out of these, the newest guidebook confirms that his very best is the Demon-Slasher Katana inherited from Yami. This katana grants him dimensional slicing powers and the ability to cut anything he wishes.

    Asta’s Anti-Magic Weapons Make Him An Unstoppable Force

    Image by Rei Penber created using Black Clover assets

    Asta, our main character in Black Clover, was first introduced in Black Clover Chapter 1 in 2015, released in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 12. While Asta’s goal was always to be Wizard King, he did not possess the abilities to reach that rank at the beginning. That said, this went on to change in Chapter 2 of the series upon his acquisition of a mysterious five-leaf Clover Grimoire, said to host the Devil itself. This grimoire allowed Asta to use a great ability referred to as Anti-Magic. With Anti-Magic, Asta gained the ability to launch attacks that cancel out his enemy’s mana-based abilities. This ability is quite broken, but to make appropriate use of it, Asta absolutely needs powerful weapons, and this is where the Anti-Magic weapons of Black Clover come in.

    Anti-Magic weapons allow Asta to channel his power and to dish it out more efficiently. Throughout the story of Black Clover, Asta has acquired four main weapons. His very first one was known as the Demon Slayer Sword. This weapon was present in his Grimoire, so he acquired it at the very beginning. Originally Licht’s sword, it came into Liebe’ possession and was corrupted, making it an Anti-Magic weapon. This sword is massive and is generally used for close-range combat by Asta. The Demon Slayer Sword is his most basic one, and while it allows him abilities like flight, it’s definitely not his greatest weapon. Through the run of the story, he eventually upgrades to better ones.

    The second main sword is acquired by Asta in a Dungeon in Black Clover chapter 18, which was released on June 22, 2015, in WSJ Issue 30. This new sword was the Demon Dweller Sword, and it is an ancient artifact that he got his hands on from a treasury. Needless to say, it has greatly boosted his overall power. The Demon Dweller Sword is also a very large sword, albeit not as big as a Demon Slayer Sword. This sword, however, has more perks to it. For one, it allows Asta to absorb the magic of others. Upon absorbing enough, he can dish out the damage back as ranged projectiles. Asta has even shown the ability to combine both the Demon Dweller and Demon Slayer swords for dual-wielding swordsmanship.

    His third weapon is one that he has acquired through the Gravito Rock Zone’s floating dungeon. This one is quite a unique weapon, both appearance-wise and skill-wise. The Demon-Destroyer Sword possesses a more blunt end with a clover symbol on top. It’s a large weapon but one that especially stands out thanks to its unique ability to not only cancel magic but also cancel its effects. This ability is known as Causality Break, and it’s a power unique to it. This sword thus can nullify magic attacks and their effects; one example being poison.

    Finally, the last sword that Asta acquired through the run of Black Clover was the Demon Slasher Sword. This sword was entrusted to him directly by Yami, the leader of the Black Bulls. The sword was previously a normal blade but was corrupted with Anti-Magic after coming into the possession of Asta. This weapon is smaller than the rest, being just a katana, but it possesses its own innate ability that allows Asta to cut through anything he wants. All of Asta’s weapons are undoubtedly great in their own ways, and certain scenarios might make room for them to shine in their own ways, but out of them all, a clear winner stands out.

    Demon Slasher Is Asta’s Strongest Weapon With The Power To Cut Anything

    Black Clover technically ended on May 1, 2026, in Jump GIGA’s Spring Edition. This ending came through the last batch of chapters released by Yuka Tabata, which included chapters 390, 391, and 392. Black Clover’s ending was arguably rushed, so fans were left wanting more content. Luckily, Yuka Tabata did return for a brief moment on August 4, 2026, with the release of Perfect Grimoire, a brand-new guidebook revealing never-before-seen lore about the Black Clover world. It is through this guidebook that we officially know now which of Asta’s four anti-magic weapons is the very best.

    While the Demon Slayer sword was never truly in the running for being the strongest as his most basic weapon, his other three weapons all had their own perks that could have made them the strongest. Within the fandom, there was an argument to be had between Demon Slasher and the Demon Destroyer swords. This is because both of these swords possess some unique abilities. The Demon Destroyer sword, being able to negate the effects of mana, is quite an overpowered weapon, but overall, the Demon Slasher sword is the one that’s on top.

    We know that because, in Perfect Grimoire, Yuki Tabata reveals the true power of this weapon. For one, Tabata reveals that this weapon’s innate ability allows it to specifically cut anything its user wishes. That is how Asta was able to defeat Paladin Lily and simply cut away at her Paladin soul without damaging her original. A feat like that would have been impossible with any other weapon, and Asta achieved it through Demon Slasher: Infinite Slash, which severed Lucius’s Soul Magic effects.

    Not only that, but through the August 4 release, Tabata goes on to state that the abilities utilized through the Demon Slayer Katana defy time and space. In the description for the Demon Slasher Infinite Slash Equinox attack in the guidebook, Yuki Tabata clearly states that when this attack is launched by Asta with the Demon Slasher sword, it loses no momentum over distance. It bypasses the rules of time and space.

    Overall, it must be said that, at the end of the day, the Lucius battle was only won through the powers of the Demon Slasher sword. It is heavily implied that Lucius eventually succumbed and died because of Asta slashing his soul with Yami’s former Katana, cementing it as his very best and an unbeatable sword that can deal damage at a dimensional level.
