It was genuinely kind of hosed up and upsetting having Nana see her adult son physically abusing her grandson. That's some really heavy stuff, and I'm not sure if the text even accurately acknowledges how upsetting that would be for someone in Nana's position.

Edit: and to have it happen because of her own actions/choices, and with a son that (IIRC) she last knew as a young child before she died


it seems extremely extremely obvious we should've cut 10-20% of the lead up for more time with this alone. It's one of the most potentially actually interesting character beats in the entire series and because horikoshi won't engage with the world or characters he made and has no interest in the interior lives of women it just lands with a thud.

e: like the actual text will never explore the idea that nana pretty obviously simultaneously succeeded and failed re: her son, on her own terms, by both saving his life and materially contributing to the defeat of the baddest guy but also failing to build a world where her son would be cared for, let alone any observations that go beyond that surface level, and the few panels we get can't carry that.

Do you want to know what we do to artists?

So, Shigaraki? :haw:

They actually have a character in this arc who actively didn't want to be redeemed and continually lashed out at the people trying to help him to the point of blowing himself up into a flaming skeleton in the process of trying to kill those people in Dabi, and the manga still came down on the "we still want to save him" side of things.

I'm still not sure we can consider Dabi "saved" considering he's a blind torso at this point.

The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money
The real villain was child abuse all along.

Please forget about endeavor.

Ya make two unbeatable super bosses. So broken, they are, that one of em is defeated moreso by their own idiocy than the actions of any one hero. The other...uhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah I dunno, mind palace this poo poo.


I'm not as down on this chapter as I sound, but taking it all in big picture I just think the invincible final boss poo poo needs to go. I've rarely been entertained by it. Maybe Cars from Jojo?

Did you ever finish Metal Gear Rising?

Shigaraki bravely sacrifices himself to destroy Mt. Fuji, the real villain of the series.

If Deku screamed "Jack is back" and then fist of the north star'd Shigaraki we'd be living on the best timeline

I mean, I don't think it's terribly likely, given how most other characters Deku has reached out to have survived through pretty clear death flags.

bakugo got to kill off an irredeemable shithead and deku's taking his shot at redeeming an rear end in a top hat who thinks he's an irredeemable shithead

Deku redeems Shiggy who turns into a widdle kid.

Bakugo then comes along and kills said kid because Bakugo isn't loving around.

Shiggy successfully blows up Japan, leaving himself and Deku as the only survivors of the named cast. Shiggy flies off to do the same thing for the Yellowstone supercaldera. Deku knows he is so close to breaking through to him!

Fans broadly agree it's fine since 99.9% of victims were background characters, tragic backstories means no agency, and shiggy was not an evil baby.

How long has it been since the last chapter? It feels like it's been a week, but maybe I just haven't been paying attention. I only realized it's been a while after hearing that leaks for this week's chapter just dropped.
