Serious question, because this has been ongoing for a while and I might have forgotten some details: did the Quirk Bullets actually do anything aside from cost Aizawa a leg? Because it seems like Amajiki and Mirio both lost their Quirks for a little while, then got them back, and the rest were just melted and destroyed before they were used to any effect. Does Shigaraki still have more?

The one that hit Amajiki wasn't a perfected version, it only had temporary effects. And because it's "quirk genes" that give the superpowers Aizawa figured cutting off his leg before it spread to the rest of his body would stop it. I think that was the last bullet, Shigaraki laments at all the doctors hard work going to waste. I'm guessing losing your quirk isn't going to be a big plot device going forward. Alternatively they somehow spring the doctor loose too and go to the secret volcano lair.

Reconsidering the whole 'this might be the end' thing with this tbf.

I always thought Mirio would be a final absolute in the 'everyones about to be killed' ace in the hole trump card that theyd have Eri pull back. However if hes back & Best Jeanist it kind of ruins the return of both of them. Idk

I am also legitimately confused as to how anybody at this point was still thinking this was the end of the manga. You do realize that if one of the most popular manga currently running in Jump was going through its final climactic battles, we would loving know, right? They'd be making a big-rear end deal of it.

Now that the chapter is officially out: gently caress yes Lemillion returns! I have to guess that this was an incredibly recent event spurred on by the present chaos. Now the question is, does this mean Eri has some control over her powers now (in which case that might be another way to fix Deku's body) or did he do it on his own somehow?

Wouldn’t it be perfect for Overhaul’s master plan with the bullets to have ended up half asses and incomplete like everything else about him? I think that’s the most likely path here, that the effect of the bullet wore off after a few months

Yeah the bullets wearing off on their own would have a nice thematic resonance to it.

Kinda worried about our boy Deku trying to replace his ruined limbs with whips and floating, glad that might not be necessary.

Also, a minor thing, but I like when Horikoshi plays with the paneling. The panel where Jeanist is restraining Machia has threaded borders, and then the page with Dabi saying "By your flames!" has flame-like bordering on the vertical panel.

I'm really starting to worry about what Deku's mental state will be like after this battle. He's destroyed his body and is beating himself up about how he hasn't actually saved anyone yet, meanwhile the guy Nighteye kept saying should have gotten One For All just showed up to save the day.

I imagine that hopefully Mirio gives him a similar pep talk that Nighteye gave Mirio, how he held the line until the cavalry arrived. I mean, everyone would be dead if Midoriya hadn't gone ham and gotten new plot powers. Part of me wonders if the next arc will be Midoriya and Shigaraki severely hosed up and recovering (mentally AND physically in Midoryia's case) in order to pad out the time and give other characters a chance in the limelight.

The most recent panel of Eri has her horn almost invisible, just like after the fight with Overhaul. Looks liker her power was either used or went off on its own again. I imagine we'll see that soon.

As you alluded to this whole thing kind of parallels the ending of the Overhaul arc, where this time Deku sacrificed himself to hold the line and kept fighting passed the point that he should be incapacitated with Mirio turning up to save the day at the nick of time. Time which they only have because of Deku saving everyone's rear end which crippling himself. We'll have to see how big of an effect that Mirio can have but apart from Machia he should be able to take out everyone left imo.

Ehhhh. Deku outright saved every single person there from death, multiple times. Lemillion gets to come in and clean up but there's no doubt who did all the heavy lifting today. Deku was hard on himself because he couldn't finish it the way All Might might've, but I think it'd be a bit too dour after a bunch of heavy chapters for it to end with Deku feeling inferior to Mirio. We squashed that with the Overhaul arc.

No one would ever blame Deku for not leaping back into it or say he failed everyone, but that theoretically wont stop Deku from thinking it. It might not even strictly be "i am worse than mirio" at this point and just "I didn't do enough".


Honestly considering all the insight into his thoughts this fight, Bakugo's thoughts on all this and even some of flashback All Might's comments I Think Deku's next big character moment is breaking his self-sacrificial tendencies.

Once I read the translator notes I remembered that panel from 276. How many more chapters until we get to the resolution/reset phase? I feel like Hori will want to have things set up for the next arc by 300

maybe the time skip arc will be Deku doing PT and some mental health things to help break those self-sacrificial tendencies :unsmith:

I think it is almost certain that Deku is going to have to directly address his self-sacrificial impulse, for like a million reasons, but none more plot-critical than this impulse is exactly why All Might was All Might, but also why All Might eventually burned out and Japanese Hero Society lost their Symbol of Peace.

Deku's trajectory isn't going to be All Might's, by definition it has to be different.

It's true that it's not a healthy mindset, and he's doing a lot of unproductive beating-himself-up here when he's clearly too broken to keep fighting, but I don't know if he had any alternative for the actual attacks he did that damaged himself so badly.

Yeah this is the enduring problem. It really doesn't matter how much soul searching he does about how being too self-sacrificing is dangerous, or how many trusted mentor figures advise him to stop; almost all of the times he's straight up destroyed himself against an actual villain, it was pretty much the only possible route he could have taken to save lives.

He's turned most of his body into chunky salsa here, but if he hadn't done so it's pretty much guaranteed that everyone present would have died before the cavalry arrived, and Shigaraki would be fully conscious to continue giving Machia orders.

Speaking of destroying your own body, I wonder how much is going to be left of Dabi after this? We already know he gets hurt by his own quirk and he's going all out right here. He's going to be a burnt out husk if he keeps this up. I'm not really sure he cares much at this point, but still.

And it would have been a lot easier to ignore if they didn't keep bringing up the idea, but since they do I could very easily write a hot take about how Deku isn't actually a hero at all, just a suicidal, self-destructive teenager.
