super sucks that the resolution to spinner's arc was "you freaks need to be cooler about how we're racist to you" and "all your friends are dead"

This middling end only seems fine because every other plot beat leading to it was bungled as hard as possible and you don't have to give it to this for not falling on its face as hard as every other part.

Jury is still out on Toga's status. If she manages to survive, she'll probably be better off than the rest of the League. Compress is still alive, just with no rear end.

So we can’t possibly have too much left to go at this point can we? Seems like from here we can probably move into epilogue territory and finally let this series die I’d still like a Vigilantes anime someday however

Nephthys posted:I think the story had enough to justify Deku's decision since it turned out that he really couldn't beat Shigaraki in a straight fight, so it didn't feel like Deku was risking everything to save Shigaraki so much as saving Shigaraki was the option left to win. Ytlaya posted:Yeah, this at least seems to be the case. It seems like giving OfA to AfO/Shigaraki was necessary to make him beatable, since it caused his body to break down (even if it feels kinda silly for an ultrapowerful guy with super-regeneration to not be able to handle OfA). While OfA hosed up Deku early on, he was still fixable, and AfO/Shigaraki's regeneration is like 1000x as strong as Healing Girl's (or whatever her name was). If that's what he was going for, sure, I guess, but it doesn't make any sense with what we know about OfA. OfA kills you if your body is too fragile to handle it. All Might was fine because he was yoked as gently caress and Deku got better and better at dealing with it as he got more fit and comfortable with it. AfO Shigaraki is a genetically altered invincible superman with hyper regeneration that eats up railgun shots and an innate mastery over hundreds of quirks. It would have made substantially more sense for the OfA users to rampage around inside him and gently caress him up like Star did(remember that plot idea?) to act as the catalyst for "Deku punches Shigaraki's Soul" to work than "oh no, I cannot handle this quirk that a teenager who was quirkless a year and a half ago and had to go on a crash muscle building regime to even receive it was handling". There's also the whole thing where "killing Shigaraki" wasn't actually the original goal and that this happened to work is a happy accident, since the plan they were down to once it didn't immediately work was "Deku physically punches AfO Shigaraki again but with only embers of his power and now the villain has all the powers Deku used to have".

Watching AfO try to no sell another punch only for everything to crumble into dust was pretty satisfying after seeing him do that for over a year in earlier chapters.

I thought it was less that his body couldn't handle One For All and more of a combination of his body being greatly weakened from the previous battle(All For One mentioned that after he regained control) making him more vulnerable to big punches and the souls of One For All and Shigaraki waking up and fighting back from within

It burns out the bodies of normal people who already have a quirk because bodies can't handle having more than one quirk. AfO is a dude who explicitly has hundreds and hundreds of quirks already and he's also in a body that is genetically engineered to be close to invincible and be able to tank railgun shots and plasma cannons and jet lasers.

...Huh. That was a pretty unsatisfying ending to the fight but there were some nice panels and moments in this chapter so I have mixed feelings. I hope Horikoshi gets to write enough of an epilogue to help round things out a little more. I think he's earned it.

TheKingofSprings posted:And it burnt out anyways, yes. Did you think that was building to something? I assumed that if they were going to have him be destroyed via mind palace, they'd actually use the example they established on screen of when Star went hog wild in Shigaraki's head except with the 8 OfA ghosts that Deku blew off his arms to inject in there or by him waking up Shigaraki's spirit to go hog wild in AfO(either of which would have given Star's arc some retroactive meaning and purpose). Instead he just goes "oh no my tummy hort" and the ghosts don't wake up until after he's already dying. Having Shigaraki involved in the defeat of AfO probably would have felt more satisfying, too.

There’s a lot that could be said about this manga past a certain point, but in all honesty I got what I wanted a while ago (Bakugo giving Deku an actual “I’m sorry, I was a loving hater Izuku, you were the real hero all along) and then he bullied a evil coughing baby, so it’s really okay, all things considered.

Did Sasuke ever apologize to Naruto or Sakura? And he sure had a lot more to apologize for, too, what with all the attempted murder and stuff. Listen, I can't vouch for how I'll feel about MHA's ending, but I have faith that Hori will not have something as outright disgusting as the whole Karin situation. "Fangirl is nearly murdered by her obsession." "She looks like she'll finally overcome her delusions and hate the man who nearly ended her, even after she had devoted herself to him." "....not! She loves him again!" If anything like that happens in MHA, I might turn on it, but I don't think it will.

He has another half-assed apology towards the end for stabbing Sakura in the gut and telling her she's poo poo, which was apparently enough to make up for all of the verbal abuse, physical abuse, attempted murder, and treason because they get married afterwards.

NikkolasKing posted:Did Sasuke ever apologize to Naruto or Sakura? And he sure had a lot more to apologize for, too, what with all the attempted murder and stuff. They're literally all child soldiers. They spent large arcs that were exams just beating the poo poo out of one another. That's not a huge deal in universe. Sasuke's crimes are "Trying and failing to kill the kages and getting his poo poo rocked." and "Killing the Ninja CIA Guy with all his family's eyeballs installed in his arm" which....that's a weekend of public service and a medal IMO. Oh and 'treason' I guess but the series is not very positive on how the leaf village had been run both historically and very recently. See: The Ninja CIA doing Orochimaru poo poo just right behind the curtain. Like Naruto's entire childhood is framed as a failure and gently caress up by the town and those that run it and when we finally get to meet the old leaders of the town its "A guy who tried to do good but hosed up repeatedly". "That guy's brother the racist hyper phrenologist that explains the uchiha brain pan is unable to feel joy or love after it gets too sad" The third who sees the generation of failure as his own sin to bear and Naruto's dad.
