A theory about Sero's highlight

I'm thinking about how Iida and Shoto are likely to run by Takoba Arena, where Sero, Satou and Ojirou are.

And how that's the one battlefield the villain wasn't revealed at yet. Coincidentally having one villain name-dropped but not appearing... Gashly... a character seems to have been created on the basis of Gashlycrumb Tinies, a gorey alphabet book about children dying in freak accidents.

Among them, a kid named Ida, who drowns in a lake.

Now, without knowing his exact quirk, the whole villain theme of Gashly could be targeting lost children and then there is Iida whose hero goal is to save lost children. Plus, Shoto being portrayed as a "lost child" in the last chapter.

We know that Sero will get a hype moment and there is some foreshadowing that it has connection to Shoto.

So what if this Gashly dude will ambush / attack Shoto and Iida as they pass by the arena, and Sero will save them? And that's how the Takoba Arena battlefield will loop in?

I wonder if this is where we're going to get Sero's big moment. It seems like it's one of the last active battlefields, and Gashly looks absolutely horrifying. I'd love to see him team up with Ojiro and Ryukyu, feel like it's been a while since we've seen them.

The official translation of 353 has been out for 24 hours, and fans are freaking out over Toya and Gashly. But cliffhangers and horror-inspired villains aren’t new for Horikoshi. Plus, it’s the end of the story and he’s going to put it all out there for the fans, which is GREAT! Keep calm and carry on with this in mind:

Toya went into Kamino intending to die. But he lived because Shoto was there. We don’t know anything beyond that, because Toya hasn’t said a word. The sound effects indicate he’s probably warming up, because the same sounds occur when Endeavor is raising his heat. But whether Toya is healing, preparing an attack, or another person is using a quirk on him can’t be known yet because we have NO reaction from Toya. It’s a cliffhanger and we just have to wait and see (to quote Neil Gaiman).

Some positive thoughts — Ujiko and AFO saved Toya at Sekoto Peak, and Toya repaid them by burning down their facility. But that situation and the current one are very different. Ujiko and AFO wanted to remove Toya from his family. Shoto wants to bring Toya home and share a meal with him. Ujiko and AFO wanted Toya’s flames to be murderous. Shoto wants Toya’s flames to be heroic. Toya may not be 100% ready to flip to the heroes’ side, but Shoto has now done more for Toya than Ujiko and AFO.

Iida is by Shoto’s side, supporting his desire to help his big brother. Burnin, Kido, and others are there too, and they’re NOT trying to hurt Toya. Remember All Might had help in Kamino too — the other pros showed up and rescued the trapped people so All Might could go all out against AFO.

Gashly is an assassin, apparently named after an Edward Gorey story about a man who kills children. Creepy, yeah. But 1A has faced assassins since USJ. Think of Stain, the forest camp, Shie Hassaikai, Ending, the war arc, the Deku retrieval with Dictator. For sure, Gashly will pop up to throw a monkey wrench into the heroes’ plans. But these kids have seen mortal danger before; they’ve all got pro heroes by their side too.

There will be more challenges, cliffhangers, fake-out deaths, and possibly some “real” (fictional character) deaths too. That’s part of having an emotional, high stakes final battle that gives closure to long-running character arcs…and that’s what fans want, right???

Okay, so with leaks coming out tonight, might as well put out my prediction for the chapter.

In my opinion, considering how Horikoshi ended last chapter, we're going to be staying with AFO vs Endeavor. However, I think that only half the chapter will be dedicated that and the other half will focus on either Kamino or the other fights at the Gunga Ville ruins.

This is mainly due to the fact that AFO can and probably will mop the floor with Endeavor and Hawks. To be honest, the mere discussion that Hawks and Endeavor could hold off AFO is illogical. AllMight vs AFO nearly ended in AllMight's death and during said fight, AFO easily kept Endeavor, as well as the other heroes present, away.

So yeah, we'll either get a really short chapter that focuses on only AFO vs Endeavor or we'll get a split chapter.

If the chapter does go to focus on Kamino, we'll probably see what the orb on Touya's chest is and/or someone like Ghastly or Stain will arrive to cause problems. Ghastly is more likely due to the references surrounding his name (this Twitter user talked about it here).

If we don't though, and focus on the fights at Gunga Ville ruins, we'll most likely see Tokoyami vs this guy:

The reason I say that is because he's probably a Tartarus escapee like Kunieda and Gashly. When the heroes are discussing how lucky they were not to end up with Gashly and Kunieda there are 6 silhouettes in the photo. 2 belong to Gashly and Kunieda, of course, and they are the easiest to see, but you can somewhat make out that the figure hidden by the speech bubble has dreadlocks, just like the guy above.

He's also taller than the others which tracks with how big the guy is.

So, yeah those are my general predictions for how the chapter will be structured.

(Note: This is hard to make sound decent in English. Mic is saying that Kurogiri is like their plunder or spoilers or stolen treasure that is the color black, which is a pun on the "kuro" (which means black) in Kurogiri's name. This pun will continue on the next page. The best corollary I could think of in English to keep up that pun is a stolen piece won in a chess game that is the color black.)

"That day, we released a bit of a white stream inside him at Tartarus..." (Note: Like I said, this pun really does not work well in English lol. He's saying they unleashed a little stream of Shirakumo inside him that's trickling into the river that is Kurogiri. The use of the color white is a pun on the "Shira/Shiro" (which means white) in Shirakumo's name.)

Some Vain Attempt At Giving Every Member of Class 1-A (plus one more) a 'Nemesis' Pt. 1 of 3 - Jailbreakers...and Slidn' Go.

Now this is something that's been on my mind since like, what, a year now? Back before this blog existed a comment from @stillness-in-green asked why I thought Tsu should have been Spinner's 'Nemesis' instead of Shoji...

However, due to a combination of shyness, scattered thoughts and business, not only did I pretty much hold off on giving my thoughts, I also got hit with an idea that I'm both loving...and deeply regretting!!!

"Say, instead of just doing why I think Spinner and Shoji aren't a good match-up...why not give legit everyone in Class A (and a certain someone else), a Nemesis. Because what I'm doing isn't hard enough to explain as is!"

So I did, and have practically everyone else mapped out. What you see below are basically, most of the tertiary squad of Class A get their due facing against a Villain that I feel would be roughly on par with them and still be a meaningful clash (though not as important to those that got the League/upper MLA executives).

In addition, I added pretty much how I would write their 'arcs' so to speak concerning their clashes with these Villains. Nothing full blown, but just a bit of concepts had in mind that I feel would make their last battle meaningful.

Now, concerning these pairs I did have some rules going in place (because I can't make it easy in myself, why...) First rule is that the Villains chose have to be members of the League of Villains or its alliances. For example, Paranormal Liberation Front or whatever the Hell the Final War villains are called, are game. That said, I can't use Villains from spin-off or movie material, and Nomu's aren't allowed either (the former due to just wanting to contain things to the manga as much as possible, and the latter is more for balancing reaons).

Also, on that note, concerning the likes of Dabi/Shoto, Toga/Ochaco, and Deku/Shigaraki, they aren't going to be listed since...well, they're pretty much established enemies in canon! No real need to re-state them here. Also, AFO is hard locked to All Might if you were wondering, so he's not making an appearance here either. Neither is Gigantomachia or the Advisors (except one), due to balance and just being way too easy to fill up the roster with.

So with that stated, here we go!

Slidin’ Go - Sato

It’s speed vs power with this one, a match between the traitorous Hero who can, ideally, weave himself away from heavy blows against someone who can be stronger to take him down, but has to find a way to get that solid hit in.

Character wise, I want to imagine this being a storyline where Sato becomes insecure over his Quirk’s weaknesses and how unreliable he feels it might be. In a class where people can harness the elements, shoot intense soundwaves, and warp gravity - having a Quirk with a cognitive drawback and intense fatigue + being yet another strength Quirk would actually be a good way to explore the inner doubts of feeling redundant or unneeded.

As a foil to Sato, Slidin Go could be a Villain with heroic intentions at one point. However, Slidin Go was eventually overshadowed by speed/mobility Quirks that were functionally better (like Ingenium) and his popularity dropped to the point he became borderline poor given how low he was in the Hero rankings. S.G. joined the MLA as their man on the inside, in exchange for promoting him to rise higher in the rankings. Because, at his lowest point, all he cared about was just being able to sustain himself. The price to pay for being seen as redundant and how he sympathizes with Sato.

Assuming this takes place in a timeline where S.G. is participating in the Final War, Sato thinks outside the box to best S.G. With the last of his cognitive strength, he shatters the ground to trip SG up before taking him out in one strike. Sure, his Quirk might be ‘redundant’ in the face of others, but what matters in the moment is not caring about one’s status but doing the right thing, in spite of it. A lesson that Slidin’ Go forgot long ago...though maybe, in time, after his arrest he can regain that spark?

Kunieda - Aoyama

Now this is one that, really, already played out in the manga, but will restate it here briefly since there is an interesting dynamic here, if brief. Aoyama and Kunieda offer a unique spin on the ‘loyal ally versus the traitor’ plot. Aoyama is the Traitor, a double agent for the Villains that goes against them for the bonds he made undercover and to make up for his wrongs. In contrast, Kunieda is someone actually loyal and grateful to All For One - his liberator (heck, one of the few that seems to genuinely be loyal to AFO in the Second War) and hates Aoyama for switching sides. It’s to the point Kunieda personally wants to kill Aoyama just to keep up AFO’s streak (which, to me, gives credence to Kunieda being a former associate to AFO and not just a random Jailbreaker).

In media, I always found it interesting when the heroes are people who betrayed their former allegiance for someone else, and their rival end up being someone fanatically loyal to their old group. I think its because, if alignments were reversed, it’d be easy to portray the Traitor as being self-serving and cowardly, compared to those who remain whose loyalty to their boss who would be seen as virtuous. Given both of their personalities, with Aoyama actually struggling with cowardice and Kunieda being fiercely behind AFO, its not an unreasonable thing to consider at all.

Here? It’s pretty much saying that not only is it okay to betray someone who you work for, if they’re as toxic and awful as AFO, but the virtuous thing in this instance is to go against them to save others, with loyalty to the ‘boss’ being a vice that’ll just bring you down. If I were to make their fight stronger storywise, perhaps Kunieda could have been someone that got the better end of AFO giving out Quirks. Perhaps, he was also Quirkless or had a weakish Plant Quirk before running across AFO one day. In exchange for the Quirk he currently had, he swore loyalty to AFO to be a supplier of corpses for him, before being arrested by Endeavor.

Gashly - Sero

At the time of this writing, Gashly is likely slated to be Sero’s opponent. Can’t really get into too much specifics since I don’t know how that’ll play. So I’ll just give brief thoughts on why I think they’ll work, how I’d write Sero to make it evern more appropriate, and what Gashly deal might be.

Sero is the laidback, witty guy of the Class A who provides support and levity to his allies. In contrast, I imagine Gashly to be the type that only wants levity for himself in the form of his crimes: making twisted stories that involve brutal deaths of kids. If I were to write Sero’s arc, I’d probably make his jokey side both his reason to be a Hero and a bit of a front for insecurities of people taking ‘the guy who shoots tape’ seriously (especially after Shoto beats him in the Sports Festival). His victory against Gashly is him proving to the Villain and himself that it’s far more of a threat than people give it credit for.

For the Top Ten that beat Gashly before, I want to imagine Ryukyu did the deed. A fantasy creature Hero beating a storyteller is just fitting.

"Fang"/2nd Hired Gun - Ojiro

Yep, its Ojiro against the second Tartarus Jailbreaker AFO sent after Deku…who got his ass beat so very quickly. Name and power? Nope - just a reminder that Deku is so OP now not many can compare, because that certainly helps brings out the threat of even escaped criminals. Distaste aside, Fang (for lack of a better name) was chosen because, design wise, I feel a gangster type contrasts well against Ojiro being a disciplined martial artist.

Ojiro always had to face people criticizing for fighting ‘plainly’  with his Tail Quirk, and his own arc here could be accepting that, yeah, while not as flashy, as his peers, his Tail is more versatile in its simplicity and incredibly effective. Fang, as a dark reflection, could be what could have happened if Ojiro had a ‘flashier’ Quirk and let the fame of it go to his head. Since he’s a Tartarus Jailbreaker, and had quite a bit of jewelry on him, I’m going to give him something like a Metal Absorption Quirk. Something that, in theory, could pose a problem to Deku (if Fang didn’t get his ass beat so quickly). Whatever metallic substance he touches, his skin reflects it. In this case, befitting his chain around his neck, he skin becomes gold. I like to imagine Fang was originally overconfident and based too much of his pride in his Quirk. So much so that he was a bully that turned to a life of crime as head of his own crime gang. A gang that I imagined was stopped by one of the Top Ten heroes like Edgeshot.

Fang’s downfall, assumign he made it to the Final War, could be that arrogance biting him in the ass. He’s so cocky he fails to realize that, while Ojiro can’t necessarily hurt physically due to his Quirk, he can still use his tail to take him out by other means. Such as restraining Fang and knocking him out by suffocating him with his tail. Is Ojiro’s Quirk flashy as the others? No way, but he doesn’t need for it to be flashy to be effective. He just needs a chance to make that ‘plainess’ work extremely well for him. Leading for Fang to once again be defeated by someone both more humble and creative than him.

Dictator - Hagakure

It’s everyones least favorite clown villain - Dictator! But now he gets to face off against our perky spy!

So what would Hagakure’s storyline be for this? Before Sato and Ojiro's dealt with issues of the world such as feeling of being Outclassed or Plainness. So I figured an interesting contrast for Hagakure is to deal with personality and powers not really mixing. Her arc could be struggling to be an efficient espionage Hero when she longed to be in the spotlight, getting praises and such from the crowd like her friends If I were to rewrite the story, Hagakure's personality would be tweaked to be more of a cocky type, inspired by her bout of overconfidence during her 1B battle.

Early on she'd be extremely boastul & playful concerning her invisibility, blinding her enemies and taunting them throughout her fights...up until people eventually wisened up either by paying close attention to her voice, laying traps to trip up Hagakure or just using AOE moves if they had it. I could see another change could be that she might volunteer to go after Mustard in the Training Camp attack but ended up losing because she overestimated her own ability and her cockiness gave him an opening to knock out her out. Following that, her training under Yoroi Musha could be to grant herself more discipline and find different ways to channel her mischeviousness into being a better spy - one that can get a victory worth celebrating for and cheers at that!

So how would this relate to Dictator? Well, given his Despot Quirk and clown theming, I’d expand on this short guy as him being a ringmaster that wanted to put on the best show in Japan…problem is that he forcibly recruited/enslaved those he saw potential in his ‘circus’ via his Quirk. He’d trained them to Hell and back under very dangerous performances, up until an investigation was enacted. Something that lead to him taking over everyone, cops who came to arrest him and panicking audience, until Crust defeated him. In short he’s a tiny fella that wants to be in absolute full control from start to finish.

A control freak to the core against someone whose a master of surprise, it works out surprisingly well. For their fight, and to show how Hagakure’s grown, she’d silently wallop Dictator who’d be in utter panic over getting hit by seemingly no one. Enough that he loses his grip on Despot and release his prisoners by accident. Thus, giving Hagakure enough time to blind him before knocking him out with an uppercut…and celebrating with an appreciative audience for good measure.

"Neptune"/Hired Gun No# 3 - Shoji

Finally, Shoji would have Neptune, for lack of a better name, as his Rival for the War fight. Now, why? Especially given that Shoji was meant to reflect Spinner. Now, on this end, I have said I disliked their pairing and I think that reason has to do with importance at the end of the day. Storywise, meaning. On Spinner's end, on the Villains side, he's had load of character development from his beginning as our lovable Stain cosplayer, to reluctant leader just trying to help out the one who cares about most. It's actually a remarkably clear and steady growth that leads up to his role in the Final War...

Yet, his Rival in this instance is Shoji. While Shoji's whole arc did have a few crumbs (such as his Pony fight), let's be honest he hasn't had any near enough importance or build-up in the story that really feels earned to be Spinner's Rival, nor do I feel that, given both of their roles in their respective groups, do I think they made even a natural match. Neptune here is meant to be a substitute for him that gives him a climatic finish and Spinner someone different to butt heads with (and will it be Tsu still?! Who knows!!!!)

Neptune here would be a mutant rights activist, though was dubbed a Villain after his protests involved taking a violent stance against those that harmed him and his shipping crew. In his case, I imagine Gang Orca was the one to defeat him, and given Gang Orca’s whole deal with being considered one of the scariest Heroes, Neptune might consider this a betrayal from someone in the same boat.

His role in the Final War arc would be assisting in the freedom of Kurogiri, and intercepting Shoji. Neptune would be the stance of physical rebellion - that change can not occur unless those affected fight back physically and showing their discontentment. Shoji would represent emotional rebellion - that change can not occur unless you show others by your character that you are different. Both aren’t really wrong  in their ideals or their feelings on the matter, but it's Shoji that recognizes that working under All For One, someone who has no one but his own interests in heart, is not going to give the Heteromorphs the better treatment that they yearn for.

For Shoji's character arc in particular, I would change things so that the Heteromorph discrimination would be more out in the open in UA, likely in a history class that covers the great Jeda purge or 6/6 incident, and him being a bit more vocal concerning the reputation of mutants. Have it be a case where the class, naturally, is disgusted by such genocide, but seemingly think that its just a case of evil in a bygone era…up until its Shoji who ends up doing a report on just how many Heteromorphs make up the majority of the arrests in Japan kind and victim reports out in the slums, boonies and even the case of the cities they thought were safe from such prejudice. He isn’t condemning them for not knowing, but it is his words that get them to consider how they’ve been acting towards those who were like Shoji so far (like Shoto and how he treated the police chief). Just something to help boost the plotline a bit more.

I also think Neptune just fits with Shoji given their sea animal/monster theme, too. As for their fight, I imagine it’d go similar to Spinner fighting against Shoji, although in this case, I imagine Neptune’s need for water might eventually make him lose a battle of attrition against Shoji in the end. Though compared to Dictator or Fang, he’d be a Nemesis that Shoji does actually succeed in getting him to stand down and possibly even get rehabilitated for the future.

-

But, yeah, this has been the first part of the series, so far. Hope its been at least an interesting read through, and these match-ups make sense from your views.

I was very conflicted when it came to giving these guys Nemesis since they didn't really fit/other people in the Class were more fitting to get the likes of the League or MLA guys. I originally was going to pair the likes of Sato, Ojiro, Hagakure and Shoji with the High End Nomu, but a combo of the realism concerning them facing one, and just feeling iffy on them had me scrap the idea and put up the Nomu rule in effect. I wanted the Villain they face to not really be a monster like a Nomu.

I also did toy around with the movie stuff, namely the Heroes Rising Villains coming into play, though it would have been just Shoji, Hagakure, and Ojiro going against Chimera, Mummy and Slice, but figured it'd be best to stick to just the manga.

If you're wondering about Slidin Go', he's like the only exception to the Advisors showing up here due to being a thing before the group. He also was supposed to be who remained of Sato, Ojiro or even Sero as like a filler choice if I couldn't find a suitable villain. Sato happened to get the short end of the stick. SG is also here because still writing about the MLA guys, who are next, and had his completed first.

I actually had Hagakure locked into facing Mustard, but once it hit me to use the Jailbreakers, thought it'd be best for Mustard to face someone with more story importance and who could be a better contrast too. Aoyama was considered to but it felt awkward for me.

Here's hoping the next part comes out soon...or at least this year!

What does Aoyama need to do?

We left him about to fight this dude - Kuneida, one of the new villains for this arc.

The other mentioned by name - Gashly - is still yet to show up. I'm thinking he's gotta be with Sero and the others.

(Also, there are all the Gashly will kill Iida theories - their encounter has become more plausible, considering Iida and Shouto should pass by the stadium).

"Gashly is an assassin, apparently named after an Edward Gorey story about a man who kills children" one of the kids that man kills in the story is named ida

@megashadowdragon Yep! It’s quite the clever reference. (The wild literary references are one of the things I love about MHA! One week we’re all looking up phosphorus on the periodic table, the next it’s an American illustrator with a sarcastic, morbid, Victorian-influenced style.)

Does it mean danger for our beloved Tenya? Maybe! He’s in Kamino, and that’s where AFO had Dictator stationed, so it’s possible another villain is standing by. Also, Tenya is right near Toya and his mysterious glowing orb. Tenya’s armor isn’t 100% and he’s recovering from both the heat and cold harming his engines. The next logical place to take an injured Toya is Central Hospital, which is currently under assault by Spinner. Or who knows, maybe Tenya will have to rush the Todoroki boys to Gunga (maybe via Kurogiri in the hospital?) to help a wounded Endeavor face AFO. Maybe Shigaraki will escape his UA cage. Stain hasn’t reappeared yet. So much might happen that another Tartarus escapee running around isn’t freaking me out.

Personally, I want Tenya to have a happy finale with Tensei telling him how he’s so proud that Tenya fully lived up to the Ingenium name. But, it’s the end of the story, so we all need to expect cliffhangers and characters in mortal peril before we reach the finale. We can’t say anyone is 100% safe, although I generally believe all of 1A, the LOV, All Might, Aizawa, and Mic will be okay.

[cynosra]

Like many other people, I was pretty surprised that Dabi's final fight with his hero counterpart seems to be the first one to hit its conclusion. I was sure that out of the three main League members, Himiko would obviously be the first one to get saved as Tomura and Dabi hold more narrative importance than her.

However, I think I understand now why Horikoshi decided to start with Dabi instead of Himiko.

Back in the first war arc, Tomura was the first out of the three to get into a confrontation with his heroic counterpart Izuku. This was followed by the fight between Himiko and Ochako and finally the first battle between Dabi and Shoto.

And this time around, it appears to go in reverse order: Dabi first, then Himiko, and last but not least Tomura.

Interestingly enough that would also mean that Dabi's character arc, the one that got started last, will be the first one to get completed. (Though there might be some more character development in store for him after he's joined the heroes in their fight against All For One and villains like Kunieda and Gashly).

And, of course, Tomura's arc is the exact opposite: the first one to get started, but also the last one to conclude (which makes perfect sense since, at this point, he is the most important character in the story right after Izuku).

Here's a sample so you guys understand.

My name is Sevi Chi Nowydh, I am 35 years old and am from Mevagissey, Kernow. You may know it as Cornwall, a region in southwest England. It's a small land but it's quite lovely with brae a coastline and so much sight to see. Gashly if you missed it, but alas not all outsiders are given the chance to see a land with such a bloody beautiful environment. But when you've seen such a sight for so much your life, it gets repetitive and repetitive.

But ain't what repetitive? Those.

I'm right now waiting for the echoing in my ears to go away but never they will. So many years agone this wouldn't happen, but now it does. I'm cursed, I'm given stress. I'm targeted and I'm tormented. The echoing sounds like whispering, whispering of a woman, yet I look over shoulder and nothing be there. She say, "We all watchy you. We all see you. Escaping be the unavailable…"

"The unavailable, say she…" I repeat aloud, quietly muttering about afterward but I know I show no comprehensibility. Perhaps, daresay I, that I shouldn't be to a public transport saying such. I'm on Great Western Railway with my husband, Ynyr. Heading to Penzance, it's 15:22, we should get there on 15:58 or sooner! Or later.

"The unavailable? Daresay… I ask why?" Ynyr asks me the biggest question, slowly he speaks but such factor does not diminish the unanswerable it is. I fossick thy cauch of an internalised processor I hold and groan, there be no answer. "Wasson?"

"There be no answer, me ansome. She give no answer, such dilemma means no gazol to respond with. Tis quite despair, but it be truth. I should be lying if I say I met a response," I say to him, feeling breath catch in my throat just some. Tis a ticking bomb, I have not more than 30 minutes until it blows and is only 15:24. "30 minutes."

TheJaku Battle will be upon us! I pray we finally get the name of Hose Face/Scuba Man/Midnight's Killer/Mr. Only Advisor To Be Given Somewhat More Importance Than the Others. Honestly, it actually is one of my most anticipated battles, since its refreshing to see a field not dominanted by the top stars for a bit. Same reason why I'm still hyped to see the Parking Lot and Sero fights!~

+

Sorry I didn’t manage to get to the first one of these before the chapter came out, @shockersalvage!!  orz orz orz

Re: Hose Face, I wasn’t really expecting to get his name.  Honestly, once we failed to get a canon name for Scarecrow even after he served as a focal point for two full chapters, including a big dramatic speech laying out the nature of the grievances of 15,000 people, I pretty much gave up hope of ever getting names for any of the advisors sans Slidin’ Go and Sanctum.

But I did have some hopes for the confrontation—or, well, perhaps more like fears, some of which proved true and some of which the chapter did, thankfully, manage to avoid.  XD  I’ll go over this in the chapter post, too, but from just the evidence of the leaks+scanlation, I was not obliged to suffer through watching Hose Face get verbally humiliated by the likes of Kirishima, which was my number one Please No, so thank heaven for that.

It would have been nice if we could have gotten more from him about his actual motivations, which we could at least posit from Scarecrow’s scar, and if he could have managed to get through the chapter without spewing a bunch more might-makes-right rhetoric that makes him nice and easy to hate, even though it sits oddly both with his apparently fairly basic quirk(?) and a flashback to Re-Destro that—as has been the case with literally all of RD’s dialogue to date—been far more about alliance and liberation than about supremacy.  More on that in the chapter post within the next few days!

The Machia element is so weird and freighted with double standards.  Expect lots more on that, also in the chapter post.  (Preview: So brainwashed villains get to be regarded as their own people, not weapons or trick plays to be leveraged against the enemy, only so long as they’re friends with the heroes, huh?)

As to the other fights, I’m honestly not really expecting to see much of the fight Sero’s at unless we’re due a sudden reveal about a significant villain showing up there—which we could, I guess? We've gotten nothing but a namedrop and a choice between two silhouettes on “Gashly,” and it seems a little odd to get as much for one of the Tartarus escapees and not have them crop up.[1] So maybe we’ll get back to the Sero fight yet, and Gashly will be there? 

The parking lot fight, though!  That, I’m very ready to get back to.  I’m not expecting much additional nuance or anything, but Kunieda’s got a neat design, an extremely cool quirk, and Aoyama and probably-Hagakure have got a lot of catching up to do in terms of attention and development from the story.  We deserved a lot more internal conflict with Aoyama, and even if I’m not expecting us to get that, at least there’s the conflict of being incredibly terrified but finding the courage to do the right thing anyway, a plot beat we haven’t gotten out of any of the A-list students[2] since, like, Kamino.

Also, just to reiterate, Kunieda looks like a blast. More killer plants and obscure philosophy references, please!

Thanks for the asks as always, SS~~~

[1] Though not any more odd than the amount of attention the advisors get without ever warranting names, or Miss GIVE HER A NAME, HORIKOSHI herself.

[2] I would count these as Deku, Bakugou, Shouto and Uraraka.  Your mileage may vary, but they’re the ones who get the most sustained attention and stand to have the most direct impact on the story and its themes about winning and saving.

Fun fact.. kinda: The villain named Gashly is probably a reference to "The Gashlycrumb Tinies".

An alphabet book about the deaths of twenty-six children.
