Kinda disappointed at everything but the tetsutetsu vs. gasmask fight really.

I was hoping for a more lasting consequence to someone getting an arm removed and having it become just another serious, but not permanent injury takes some of the previous impact away. It's not like it's a surprise that the villains aren't winning outright but this is the third time they have been routed pretty thoroughly. It is starting to get old.

I think the excuse will be that the attack happening at all in lieu of UA's security precautions and the aftermath of Aizawa authorizing them for combat will overshadow the fact that a really organized group of villains who knew how to fight (one who had recorded kills on pro heroes, nevermind the others with recorded murders) and executed a well-planned ambush got mopped up without too much difficulty.

Not sure how that's going to spur recruitment drives after the second complete "party wipe" to a bunch of kids and pros with comparatively weak quirks.

You know, that kid Midoriya saved must have some conflicting feelings about the dude who murdered both his parents being defeated by a high school student hero-in-training. He doesn't know the true nature of Deku's quirk, so to him it must seem like both his parents combined were just weaker than a high school student.

Then again he also just saw Deku's arms turn to pulp from the force of hitting that dude. He might understand.

Seems kinda early for something like that to happen but it would be interesting.

Also, it'd be horrifying for the kids and teachers who don't know about All For One/Noumus. Getting turned into a Noumu is kinda worse than death but it's not technically DEATH (and you could hold out hope it was reversible). I also doubt they'd think they kidnapped him to turn him to the dark side per se.

Which means if I was them the only conclusion I'd be left with is they kidnapped him to do insanely horrible poo poo to him- like execute him ISIS style or torture him or something really hideous.

And Midoriya again will be the only one who likely knows the potential truth. I suppose AFO could just take Bakugou's quirk in the event he refused to work with them and dump him off somewhere; leaving him quirkless. That'd be ironic.

Now I want to see this happen, and see him go on to become the character that so many people wished Deku had become. What I mean is have Bakugou stripped of his awesome quirk, which has been mentioned by a number of people as being an extremely powerful ability. Let him angst about it for a while, but then have him get over it and team up with the one gadget girl from the tournament to make a ton of explosive gear. He goes on to be just as effective a fighter using home made bombs and explosive tech as he was with his quirk.He becomes the Batman-esque character that so many people were looking for.

Bakugou losing his quirk would be interesting because his whole superiority complex came about because even as a child his quirk was so much better than everyone else's and after always being told that his quirk was amazing and spectacular and all that, and he began to think of himself as the best because he was told his quirk was the best. Which is also why he began to bully Deku because he had no quirk and was thus the weakest.

So i think it'd be an interesting thing if he lost his quirk because of how that might play into his issues. But it's not going to happen anyway.


Also, this chapter was cool and it is neat that some side characters got a chance to shine. I hope we get a bit more out of everyone this arc as well, because it's a good chance to show off some characters outside of the main group.

My only issue with the gas guy fight was that it seems like it should have been far easier to win. Why couldn't Tetsutetsu just continue bumrushing him after getting shot the first time (which obviously didn't do that much damage)? I understand him having trouble after not breathing for a while, but a minute or so is more than long enough for him to just run up and beat the guy down. And the girl using her hands to push away the gas seems so obvious it's weird she didn't just do that from the beginning.

Bullets have a lot of force behind them. Bulletproof vests stop penetration but result in broken ribs. Tetsutetsu was bumrushing him, but he kept getting pushed back because he had no real plan. As for pushing away the gas, the girl probably had to make sure she wasn't gonna get shot at first.

Yeah, it was a surprisingly accurate depiction. Not like in a lot of manga where bullets are just lasers with a bit of lead behind them.

If Bakugou lost his power, he'd go loving mental, because like his entire identity, the core of his personality, is wrapped up in having a quirk and being a person with a quirk. He'd have a mental breakdown!

Also: really cool chapter, wow! Nice clever fights and I like how spiderteeth got punked in a single blow by Dark Shadow. That was fantastic.

It would be very rude to keep Tokoyami in the immense pain he seems to be in and real heroes would save him rather than use his pain to their advantage to harm others.

I would say that the core of his character is "I am the best." His quirk is a significant component of that, but I think his overriding sense of SUPERIORITY can overcome even that.

And a huge part of that which people seem to be forgetting is that he couldn't deal with his own feeling that Deku was always looking down on him. Bakugou is all about finding some way to prove himself to himself, and he will likely never succeed.

He needs to be more chill basically. And feel like it's ok to have friends or whatever.

Don't know what it would take, but taking his quirk would be the most "mediocre" way of resolving his struggle, by having him artificially sink to others "level".

I really like the little weekly/semi-weekly images Horikoshi does.



Midoriya can't not be awkward about Uraraka. Also I guess Uraraka's quirk works like Shigaraki's in that it works when she touches anything with all 5 fingers on one hand rather than her "manually" activating it when she touches something with them. Weird I didn't notice but she avoids touching stuff with all 5 fingers the same way Shigaraki does throughout the manga- she just favors lifting her pinky than her middle finger.

Weird he gets THOSE details right all the time but kinda forgets which limbs characters get impaled through in combat.
