I have no idea how this op is supposed to work.

1. So you have a warrant. Are the police involved? You have to serve it first. It's not a license to just bust in and wreck the place up.

2. Aizawa is letting the kids go because he knows some of them will probably just act on their own anyway, but keys dude is right about it not being a great idea. They're high-school students; provisional license or not- a potentially violent entanglement with local mafioso isn't the same as dealing with spontaneous street crime.

3. Nighteye knows the kid is there because he read the mook's future. Is the warrant to give them permission to seize her? On what grounds? What if Overhaul just moves her again after the mook leaves? If the mook's a non-combatant and flees/hides during the raid you have no idea what goes on in the meanwhile.

4. What're you scouting for again? You already knew where his hideout was. You were scoping it out from the start.

It's a raid to rescue a child who is being abused. They don't have to be nice. No-knock warrants are a thing in real life. And Nighteye knows the kid will be there at the exact moment of the raid because he read the mook's entire future.

That said, the raid has already been compromised somehow. poo poo probably ain't gonna go well.

Nighteye's precognition is a serious drama-killer, so I figure he's either going to bite it or get blinded.

Unless the VA went and fed the Eight Precepts info from THE TRAITOR nothing's been compromised yet. Of course then that means that the identity of THE TRAITOR has been narrowed down to 7 High Schoolers and 1 Teacher

The no name heroes suddenly showing up for this hero confab are totally marked for death at the moment. Of course Dragon Lady and DJ Doctor Nice as well as Nighteye's sidekicks are also possible deaths.

The last raid was conducted in concert with the police who haven't been mentioned thusfar as being involved outside the warrant.

They have no evidence Eri is being abused other than literally GUESSING how his whole scheme is working. The circumstantial evidence is weak. If Overhaul was (and he won't be likely because we can't have combat that way) a proper mafioso/yakuza he'd cross his t's and dot his i's to survive a police raid or inspection. The police and heroes only gotta be wrong once for him to be able to sue them into oblivion for kicking his door down and finding nothing; he just has to resist the urge to fight back (he won't, probably because the league will be present).

I can almost guarantee that if he isn't beaten and caught by the police, that this has a decent chance of ending with Overhaul fleeing the scene alone with the VA after his henchmen are beaten- and Shiggy, realizing that Overhaul's usefulness has come to an end thanks him personally for the "lesson" and disintegrates him.

The last page had Overhaul turning and muttering "So you've come..." all dramatic-like. Unless that was a red herring, he knows they're attacking.

Yeah, there's no way that isn't an intentional fake out. He's actually talking to someone who showed up serendipitous as the heroes are about to raid his joint. Almost certainly Shigaraki or another member of the VA. There's no way the kids are posing outside his window and he's rhetorically talking to them.

no name heroes have to be showing up or else we get into "why doesn't batman call the justice league for help" bullshit. I think the only time we're really going to get a death is when shigaraki makes his real debut as a villain with an alias and everything, nighteye will probably be the victim of a completed quirk killer dart because his power does cause some problems.

For lots of franchises they're the cheapest and most accesible pieces of merchandising.

And yes, the All Might is totally believable as an in-universe product.

it's for when you have no personality so you put poo poo on your desk to give you something to talk about with people and cos they all look the same you can say to the weeb girl you think is cute in the cubicle over that you got a deku pop so that she'll smile at you while screaming GET AWAY FREAK in her head and after she gives you the cold shoulder you can go over to the next cubicle over from that one and show them your deku pop and say it's jojen reed from game of thrones so that sally from accounting might smile at you while thinking about how hard it is to get a restraining order filed on a colleague not speaking from experience or anything though hahaha

All I'm saying is that a Nendo is about four to five times the cost of a regular Pop and they're fourty to fifty times the quality, so imagine what kind of great Nendo (or Figma, 'cos same company) we'd have if all the pops ever sold, all that money went to Goodsmile instead.

You'd have a Bakumom Figma.
Do you want a Bakumom figma?
Of course you do.
