Remember when we were worried about a traitor and everyone was drawing evil Kaminari pictures?

Good times.

It's still funny that Hori leaned into that with Kaminari thinking Stain was supercool and then doing the libertarian villains' handpose.

okay opening the chapter with the battlefield diagram only to immediately render it irrelevant is actually one of the funnier things hori's ever written

lmao at all of this but something that struck me as particularly absurd was giving mt. lady's defeat/death (who knows) and hawks losing his quirk the same level of importance as THE RETURN OF DEATH ARMS, the real hero of the manga

was there a time when speedwagon didn't get trolled
"Why aren't you losing quirks when you're rewinding back in time?" "ehh don't worry about it even though that's a really important question as far as this fight is concerned."

Also lmao that Horikoshi took the time to draw a map to try to give things a sense of space and direction and then immediately invalidated it by having AfO fire a super kamehameha beam out of nowhere and own everyone instantly before moving on.

So tell me again.. How is Deku gonna be the greatest hero if this body count is racking up. Like am i alone this is worse than Madara? Like Hiro is doing bleach levels of no sell at this point. Its hey character helping out! AFO no sells. repeat and print. Also thats not how the rewind quirk wooooorks.

If there are no other heroes left standing by the end that pretty much makes Deku the greatest by default

Horikoshi you better not have killed Mt. Lady, cuz that makes 4 data points and at that point we can draw a polygon. Also, I suspect the idea is that AFO is getting more and more youthful and peppy so he's able to bust out this poo poo, since he's clearly not losing his age-appropriate memories or he'd just be thoughtlessly thrashing. Is Deku waiting for him to become a baby before he gives him the United States of Smash?

AFO will regress to a baby that Deku wants to raise right and not evil, but is stopped by Stain killing the baby

All For One will be defeated when All Might shows up in a mech suit to fight him as an evil baby.

Also I guess this was all happened far enough away from where Dabi and Toga were that they're all unaffected by all of this?

The rewind quirk is an overall powerup for AFO, it's what is allowing him to no-sell all these attacks and not matter. It has a consequence that he will end up a baby or just stop existing, but until that point he seems to be literally unkillable and able to regenerate from attacks that completely vaporize everything around him. So previously a good punch could just take him out.

And even then it feels like this is gonna end with Shigaraki popping him like Kaguya did to Madara.

It's too bad rewind isn't affecting his memories, it would be funny if at this point he had no idea what he was going on other than a desire to find Shigaraki.

I think I missed a chapter or had a stroke. Where did the rewind power come from?

It was from the start of all this. iirc he took a pill or something that had Eri's rewind effect. He knows it's gonna rewind him to nothing, he's just trying to buy time and cause chaos while whatever is going on with Shigaraki happens.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


Drawing a little map at the start of the chapter out of a sense that "maybe people are starting to lose the thread of where everyone is and what's going on", only to have roughly four different perspective shifts in the course of a single chapter with no clear guarantee where the next chapter will pick up.

I cannot possibly remember all of the different ongoing situations that are hanging in the air. Is Gentle holding up a falling sky island? What's going on inside that sky island, are there people still running the generator or building concrete blocks or whatever? The replicating clone blob is a thing, is anyone still fighting Nomu? Is Dabi near Iida and Todoroki (and I guess Stain)?

If someone here could actually list all of the ongoing situations right now and who's where, I'd really appreciate it, but I'd also be very impressed.
