Astro Royale chapter 11 recap

The chapter begins with Torazo and his group, along with the Hibaru faction, setting off on their journey to Roppongi to meet Shio. Torazo asks Hibaru to keep a watch on top of their jeep. However, the boy dozes off and eventually falls from the vehicle.

Upon waking up, he meets a girl named Nono, who gives him a three-leaf clover, something she can transform using her Astro powers. The girl reveals that she acquired the power while praying for her mother, who is in hospital.

However, just when she is about to visit her mother, an Astro Hunter, named Senei Kariyazaki, cuts the girl's Astro Link in half. Senei reveals that he serves Shio and is on a mission to eliminate powerful Astro Links.

The Astro Hunter's ability allows him to extend a long blade from his fingertip. He targets Hibaru, but the boy is saved by his comrades just in the nick of time. On their way to Roppongi, Hibaru and others notice several government buildings in a dire state.

Torazo reminds him that with the fallen law and order, no one has been able to stop Shio's rampage. Suddenly, they come to a halt in front of a checkpoint set up by the Hawk Faction.

Everyone except Terasu, is ready to face them. Eventually, the big brother steps out of the vehicle and approaches Shio's Hawk Faction. The Astro Hunter, Senei, confronts him and extends his blade to attack Torazo, but the blade shatters upon contact.

Hibaru reveals that Torazo is the strongest of the 13 Yotsurugi siblings in hand-to-hand combat. The chapter ends with Hibaru's brother furiously staring down at Senei.

Considering how the latest issue ended, Astro Royale chapter 12 will likely continue Torazo's onslaught against the Astro Hunters.

Even though he doesn't have an Astro Link anymore, his brute force could potentially give him an edge over Shio's lackeys. Aside from that, the chapter may finally show Hibaru and others facing their brother Shio.
