Gotta give AFO some credit, the evil overlord turning into a Giger monster at the end is a classic.

I hope Bakugo completely no-sells what's coming next to make up for the past year of AFO doing the same. I also hope Bakugo gets to punch a baby immediately afterwards.

Cool that you can see Hawks' head in the mass but I can't really make out Stain's at all. Also spent way too long looking for Ragdoll's before I remembered he gave that one to Shigaraki.

I liked the part where AFO was like "I need to conserve my strength for the transfer... is what I thought BUT SCREW THAT." Like in Jujutsu Kaisen's "But that's how losers think!"

The whole "killing any woman that even made contact with him to eliminate his bloodline" thing reminded me of something similar in One Piece.

Gonna be real Bakugo seeing AfO's Ultimate Move and going "that's stupid" is pretty good

The official translation is almost exactly the opposite! Japanese sentences not specifying the object/subject strikes again!

Actual chapter discussion:

Weird that this is when AFO thinks Bakugo looks like Kudo, since the time traveling Bakugo theory was largely born of them both looking like stern assholes. His eyes are distinctly less Kudo-like in these chapters, since he's shown warmth in his eyes for the first time in the series not too long ago.

Maybe we are finally going to hit the point where the culmination of everyone's super moves finally mattering but I feel like if that giant crab laser cannon didn't do anything whatever sweat explosions Bakugo has shouldn't matter either.

Maybe he'll get swallowed and unleash his Quirk from the inside (I figure that AFO's currently at the point where he wouldn't bother stealing another Quirk)

They're different targets, at least. Man, that discrepancy between Tamaki's beam doing nothing on a suppressed Shiggy vs Nagant's bullets working on a freed Shiggy still bothers me.

I thought it was extreme sarcasm, like, 'Oh no, what ever will I do?!' with a smirk as he sets up his counterattack.

I mean that is explicitly what is going on. Every bit of damage the dude has taken has contributed to him becoming a punchable baby and Bakugo's goal is to reach that point. It isn't a case of "oh, Bakugo is STRONGER", it is that everyone has been wearing the dude down and Bakugo is (theoretically) the dude to push him over the finish line.

whatta weird payoff to the bakugou kudo connection. it's weird it was even foreshadowed to begin with.

i like that all might literally sent this motherfucker to the morgue. makes sense with how AFO was able to get his head tenderized and still walk away from that fight

I'm too cool to be extinct.

That’s why there was a whole chapter explaining that this was an evil, selfish baby who ate his own dead mom’s flesh. So there’s no quandaries about what Bakugo is about to do.

I mean all jokes aside, I think the most likely thing is Bakugo hitting AFO hard enough he turns into a baby and then dissolves, rather than actually punching the baby, but we'll see.
