My favorite part of this chapter was probably the lowkey interaction between Shigaraki and Toga - "....so you will destroy things I like too?" "Nah, I respect wishes of my allies, I will spare things you like." "YAAAAY!!!!"

He may be a broken nihilistic psychopath, but he is growing as a leader. :3:

That's probably going to cause problems later when he wants to destroy Deku.

Same. You can sort of see the gears spinning in his mind when Shigaraki mentioned he wants to destroy everything. He wants to reform the system, and completely destroying everything is not what he signed up for.

If anything I think that was Spinner reacting to Shigaraki calling himself Empty before he met AFO. Which is exactly how Spinner described himself before he saw Stain's last stand. I think he just kinda relates in a messed up way.

Spinner is in over his head in that basically no one really shares his ideals at this point, and unless he's hiding some really killer quirk he's utterly outclassed by both the heroes and badguys he runs with. As far as not being MENTALLY into it he has proven capable of murder at least so far as trying to kill pro heroes, the students, and definitely killing mutie-hating racists.

Spinner wants to destroy Hero Society, so he'll get that out of Shigaraki's "destroy everything" mindset. Afterwards...yeah, I'm not entirely sure why he thinks he'll get the society he wants instead of a complete wasteland. Shigaraki did say that they could keep whatever they wanted though.

Even Shigaraki doesn't really know what comes after "destroy society." His whole plan is idiotic but understandable considering he was raised by a megalomaniac and a mad scientist sociopath after having the most traumatic experience you could imagine. I'm more wondering what the hell Mr Compress is getting out of this since he seems like the more generic villain of the group who could go back to his day job as a magician if he really wanted to probably.

The entire chapter you could see the wheels in Spinner's head turning as he's figuring out he probably got in with people that aren't really in the same frame of mind as him.

SyntheticPolygon

The entire thing that connects the League together is wanting to destroy society or feeling like there's no place for yourself in current society. And Shigaraki's whole deal is still basically all for that, so I can see the gang kinda being cool with it. Hard to tell with Compress though, we still don't know anything about him. Maybe he just doesn't give a poo poo about the ideology and is sticking around for his own reasons, like Dabi basically seems to be.

As for Spinner, we first see him reacting from the Empty Shell comment and not the "Let's destroy everything, i'll show you heaven and hell" spiel. I think his reactions through the chapter aren't entirely about Shigaraki's whole destroy the world thing.

Spinner's reaction is a bit hard to read, though he's definitely not 100% on board with Shigaraki's goals. He might be having a realization that he is/was on the same path as Shigaraki but a few steps behind, and this is shocking him out of that, or maybe this is the first he's heard of Shigaraki's past and he's just horrified.

Also yeah, that stuff at the end is definitely Giran's weird intestine-scarf thing and a severed finger. RIP Giran maybe. He's definitely not having a good day, at least.

Someone else probably has beaten me to this idea but I'm kinda feeling All for One somehow have Shigaraki that quirk in order to create that event. That reveal would be supremely hosed up and I kinda hope we never see any more flashbacks because they were brutal.

It seemed pretty obvious to me he used forced quirk activation on shirigaki

I'm starting to realize the same. I care about MHA far more when it focuses on anyone except the heroes. This My Villain Academia segment has been the most interesting thing in a while, and Vigilantes is far better now than the main series (though I'm a chapter behind). I'm not sure why, I definitely enjoy the hero side most of the time, but it's gotten...stale, I guess?

Not a lot of stakes or major shakeups. Deku's multi-quirk revelation is interesting but it's not really much of a change for him as a character. He previously had a very hard to control power he had to master- he still has essentially the same problem.

The league doesn't have complete plot armor like the kids seem to: barring Shigaraki any of the league could die- even if it meant closing off some of their potential plot arcs. They can gain more immediate allies they can interact with where 1-A can't really grow much outside of say Shinsou. I'm about 100% sure we'll never see any of kids die violently, but we sure as hell could see a bunch of the league go.

Everything happening to the students seems to be for checking off boxes. Todoroki and Bakugou getting licensed is basically Hori gating them back into the story because he's going to have some ringers for them to fight. Todoroki and Bakugou were sidelined for the Overhaul arc because they're too strong and would've ran over basically anyone in Overhaul's mook squad- also Mirio never would've been able style on the both of them the same way he did the rest of the class so naturally Bakugou is still on suspension from his fight and Todoroki literally just...sits it out.

I agree that the villain focus chapters have been great since twice's focus chapter, but tbh that's probably in big part because we don't see them that often and there are just less of them than 1a students. so we get the occasional in depth look into how a character thinks and there's way less time for them to just be on screen but unimportant. iida's a good example since he had a good little focus arc and was a cool character for a while, but hasn't really had the chance to do anything since then in spite of all his screen time and proximity to the protagonist. less people in shigaraki's camp also means there's less chance for a sugarman situation

endeavor and hawk's stuff was also really interesting, but again they're tertiary to the plot so they don't get the screen time to be useless for a while

The more I think about it the more I agree that UA has to be blown up or shut down or something. If they cleanly graduate then any potential weight of "Shigaraki destroys Hero Society" doesn't have remotely the same punch to it. Suddenly being dumped out in the wild and having to scrape together a resistance is much more befitting becoming the Greatest Hero than simply inheriting All Might's mantle as top cop.

Pitting Gigantomachia against UA and taking down both Gigantomachia and also a bunch of teachers seems like a nice way to go around it, at once taking away the VA's nuclear weapon and the heroes' fallback cushions and caretakers. Though I think that might end up feeling like a redux of All Might vs. All For One.

shigaraki and the league are ironically in the more traditionally heroic position right now, a team of scrappy underdogs facing a foe with unimaginable power and resources, scrounging for allies while learning the true meaning of friendship along the way

the institutional advantage the heroes have in MHA is ridiculous and the story seems kind of hesitant to confront that
