Jokes on you. I don't know the names of any characters so I'm hard to spoil.

I'd advise following that one instead so you don't accidentally find out that Mineta was the traitor or that Eri is actually a clone of Shigaraki,

I admittedly have not read all of Vigilantes, though I have read enough to know what's going on with Koichi's Quirk and his mom's suppression of it. My only issue with the recent chapters has been the frequent use of

Six: Haha, now I will do this thing that kills Koichi.
Six: Oh no, I'm blindsided by this thing that prevents me from killing Koichi.

I feel like that's been a frequent cliffhanger or, at least, a frequent subject of chapters.

For a big chunk of it the point is that Six is desperately trying to make his gimmick work and it isn't working and he tries harder which just makes it work less because he's fighting specifically in the Crawler's strong space. In comparison in the most recent chapter it seems like he had a fairly good chance of straight-up winning until he got Fuckin' Dusted.

Yeah, that's the thing. The O'Clock in 6's head pretty explicitly that he couldn't beat Koichi using his quirk, but he kept plugging along anyway. I can understand that seeming OP or something, but it really is just a story about a very bad matchup where the guy who wants to run away can't, and the guy who needs to run away won't.

I do agree with the criticisms about Pop, though. Unless she's explicitly mentioned, I sometimes forget that this has technically been about her.

That's fair. It does seem like Six is not exactly good at knowing when to take the L and give up.

I like the background gag of Mineta trying to copy Todoroki's poses

Mineta shocked me, because he was actually funny, instead of gross, for once. Outside of that, nice breather and I'm absolutely expecting some kind of attack during Class A show for the refugees, to make up for the culture festival that went through without a hitch.

And of course:

This was the hardest I’ve laughed at MHA in a long while, Hoshikori is pretty funny when he tries to be but that entire absurd bath sequence was something else. I really hope his next manga takes off too, I’m really getting “last night of fun times before the final dungeon” vibes right now.

Transcript of Stain's letter on the final page:

quote:

Only a true hero may act as the recipient of this information.

That disqualifies the phonies, riffraff, and outlaws who bear false mantles and act solely out of contemptible self-interest.

All Might is the only hero worthy of my respect.

All Might is the only one worthy of ending my life.

Now, more than ever, the masses cry out for that unshakable sense of justice he embodies. That pure, absolute justice.

The world has grown dark indeed, which is precisely why the Symbol of Peace must stand at the vanguard and lead us all ___ more just society.

____ ___ information such ___ ______.

I didn't notice in the scanlation, but I love the detail of Ochako sleeping in mittens to keep from using her quirk on sheets and blankets in her sleep. Have we seen that before?

I'm almost positive it has come up before or at least in her character bio.

To interrupt the hootin' and hollerin' very briefly;
I've been very on board with Koichi vs 6 the whole time, so I'd like to know what people who maybe have been a bit down on Vigilantes lately think of this chapter. I'm not trying to call anybody out or anything, just wondering if this has been worth it to those folks.

it's a pretty good fight chapter by chapter but imo it's been going for a while now so i hope the old man can put this arc to rest and pop can be a character with agency again sometime this year
