And like, I give 5 seconds thought about this chapter and so many questions pops up about her.
- Who.... exactly does she expect to kill now under AFO?
Innocent people? (Which just confirms she's just a hypocrite psychopath.)
Bad heroes? (Who already retire and flee asap after the war and that's like, the exactly same thing she did before)
Just heroes I guess??? (Who stayed and fight because their responsibility and good will so they do not deserve it. Not to mention probably a part of them are literally children due to short shortage)
- Why does she STILL want to kill people?
- What exactly does she get out of this? A ruined society that people living in fear? Is that a better world in her eyes?
Maybe I didn't read enough into her words but this Reddit comment pretty much sum up what I understand from her point:
“I’m tired of being used as a tool for murder by shady hypocritical higher ups for ‘the greater good’.”
“Let me be a tool for the biggest criminal overlord in history, at least he’s honest about killing people and being evil.”
And I wouldn't have any problem with her wanting to work for AFO so she can freely kill people without being held back, if she's being honest about that. Cos her action and her reason just don't make sense to me.
Too Little to Late
As much as I want to like Lady Nagant, I just can’t. Her design is cool, but I really wish she had been brought in sooner, as well as her backstory having more impact on the story as a whole.
The problem with Lady Nagant is that her backstory doesn’t tie into anything or anyone. The fact the HPSC had her assassinate anyone they thought was a threat, including Heroes they thought weren’t up to snuff should be a big deal, but it falls flat for me.
The HPSC is pretty much gone. Regardless of whether it’s realistic or not, they’re no longer really around and certainly don’t have any power anymore. They don’t matter, especially right now, when the Main Villain of the series AfO is out and the entire country is in ruins. It’s a little late for this revelation to have much of an impact because Izuku can just promise he won’t let the HPSC be rebuilt and that can be handwaved as good enough.
It also doesn’t shed any light on any of the more important characters. The assassinations apparently propped up All Might, but he doesn’t know that, so it doesn’t suddenly cast a shadow of doubt on what sort of person he is. It doesn’t make any of the Heroes look bad because they were equally kept in the dark. The good guys are still the good guys.
Nor does it add any depth to the main villains like Shigaraki and the LoV. None of them have ever said anything about the HPSC or targeted them in anyway. Spinner wasn’t worried about being killed because he joined the League, and Dabi doesn’t mention it when he tells the entirety of Japan about how Hawks killed Twice. So they obviously never knew about this either, which means that their beef really is just with the Heroes, who apparently don’t have any members who abuse their power because those bad Heroes were all killed off by the HPSC. So the bad guys are still bad.
I mean it feels like this reveal should have more weight and connection to the main story and characters but it just doesn’t. Even Hawks doesn’t fit into it much because he also seems to not know the full story behind Lady Nagnat. So, for me it just falls flat on it’s ass–like why should I care? There’s more pressing problems and this one can’t really be dealt with until they start rebuilding the country and can put a better system in place. It’s not an enemy that needs to be actively fought anymore.
Unless Horikoshi ties Hawks into the Lady Nagnat story going forward, or the HPSC comes back and suddenly gets an huge influx of support and power, making them a genuine threat again, then this entire thing feels like a weird side story that’s just here so Izuku can say the system isn’t black and white, even though just knowing Hawks backstory would have given him the same insight.

I had a VHS of Boku No Hero Academia and there was an episode called “The Experiment” where it centered around a bunch of scientists kidnapping Quirkless people.
