I think they bodyswapped, so it's actually Bakugou getting a kick out of being in Momo's body. They all have facial expressions that match up to the original owners of the costumes.

The framing of the last page, with the bullets and Eri, seems to have a lot of specific intent behind it. Mirio is probably not the target, but shooting at Eri would force Mirio to act to his own detriment. And what's more, the bullets were in a separate case, on Overhaul's person, which would lend credence to them potentially being the "finished" version with stated permanent effects. As much as I like Mirio, it's a bit hard to shake the feeling that he's around to impart some sort of a hard learned lesson upon Deku. He might wind up losing his quirk (or life) here. e: wrote a post and didn't post and posted it later, whoops

The biggest thing Mirio has going for him is the shot being fired as an ending stinger page. These sort of cliffhangers are almost always subverted.

TheKingofSprings posted:Could Deku potentially be immune to quirk cancelling bullets? they havent really given a lot of detail on how quirks actually work, especially in deku's case. The only real mention is the "quirk factor" stuff that came up when suneater got darted. If the quirk factor is a thing you are born with, and thus deku doesn't actually have one or something like that, then yeah he's potentially immune to the darts.

I can see deku getting hit and saving the day anyway. It's a good callback to the intro and he's ripped as gently caress

The bullets definitely don't do DAMAGE physically- but I could imagine Mirio not wanting her to get shot with ANYTHING could play into that.

Fabricated posted:I'm not sure how Eri getting shot up with her own flesh and blood would harm her quirk, which is that her flesh and blood destroys quirks. I guess the finished bullets might do something depending on how they work but whatever quirk-destroying antibodies or whatever the hell it is she has I dunno if even a concentrated dose of it really makes a difference? She dampens quirks (See Suneater's getting shot). The quirk destroying bullets is a finished refined version of the serum that they just completed (hence the limited vials).

Oh, I have no idea if it would actually work. Just saying that if her quirk got disabled permanently, she'd have a shot at safety. Also, we know she has no special quirk immunity. Also the anti quirk bullets may have undergone refinement outside of her body--but it's entirely possible that all the refinement they were talking about was Overhaul messing with Eri's body.

Josuke Higashikata posted:I'd be very surprised if Fallout Boy dies but I think the manga and horikoshi as a whole would benefit from it happening. Why, though? What would Mirio dying here add to the manga? Sure shonen manga has a tendency to skirt around death, but if death is going to happen I'd rather it serve a narrative purpose rather than just making the manga darker, edgier, or more realistic. We haven't had Mirio around long enough for his death to have a big impact (outside of those who immediately became infatuated with him, myself included) or teach any of the surviving characters any lessons beyond 'hey don't go off on your own.' Slime posted:That would support the theme that's been going on of having a single hero be some symbol is a bad idea, and that the world needs more that one person to do the job. Giving Mirio One For All, how much would that actually boost him up? He'd be able to punch real hard but he already prefers finesse to pure power. He'd be better, but not by much. Certainly much less of a boost than it is for Deku. Better to have two real strong heroes than a single stronger one. EDIT: Also re: the chapter, the bullet is absolutely aimed at Eri. They'd have to suddenly dumb Mirio way down for him to not be able to phase through bullet he can both see and hear coming.

I think we know Mirio plenty well enough for him getting killed would be affecting; I don't think it'll happen just because this arc is implied to be long and no way would Aizawa and the UA faculty want Midoriya to continue his internship if Mirio gets gacked here.

I don't think mha is gonna kill any of the students at any point, full stop besides which ua is on thin ice and one of their best students straight up dying would probably get them shut down at this point. it'd be the bakugou situation but worse

Agreed, UA having that many student abductions/injuries/fatalities back to back would be really bad for them. 'why is this yakuza base full of dead children' Fabricated posted:Mirio getting de-quirked would be interesting depending on how he deals with it. And it would be affecting in that people would be sad to lose such a great character, but I think death in shonen manga has to have more value than just being sad, especially if they're an important but not main character. Mirio is apart from the cast and has no personal ties to Eri or Chisaki, if he dies here... he just dies fighting a villain. Maybe the lesson is just 'these things can happen sometimes' but I don't think that's good enough to make it worth doing here. Eri taking the bullet, or him taking the bullet for her if we want to do the quirkless route, are much better than just killing him off just to kill him and let Chisaki get away.

Manatee Cannon posted:I don't think mha is gonna kill any of the students at any point, full stop The real baffling thing is the first-years being here, even if they are accelerating their education in an attempt to prep them for more VA attacks. Mirio is 17-18 and is considered better than most working pros and has been at his internship for a year without incident. The 1-A kids are 15 and pretty fresh outside of having to defend themselves a few times. Fabricated fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Sep 1, 2017 |

I'd prefer if it nothing permanently bad happened to Mirio cause it would sort of deprive Midoriya the chance to surpass him through hard work and determination.

Best option is if Mirio gets de-powered and kicks the poo poo out of Overhaul anyway because POWERRRRRR knows no handicap.

If Mirio or Eri gets depowered, maybe Shigaraki would step in to help? While he would probably have no interest taking in Eri, I can see him either stealing or destroying the rest of those Quirk Destroying bullets/vials and gloat to Overhaul that he got this far because he trusts his allies. It's the only way I can see the heroes fulfilling their primary objective of saving Eri without any student death while also showing the VA is improving and show them as a threat.

So basically Shigiraki becomes Eri's new hero and she joins the VA? I hope she gets a costume and everything.

Eraserhead stops you flicking the switch but the serum smashes the switch with a hammer.

Because MHA has been increasingly generic in terms of story telling this past year, which has "coincided" with a pretty large drop off in quality for the product as a whole in comparison to what it has been in its first couple of years. Something to play outside the box of generic shonen would allow the the story to take a turn which is less expected and would allow Horikoshi to grow as a mangaka. Mirio biting it would be impactful because he's not actually an established character so you're not losing a lot overall, rather he's someone we're told and shown as being extremely talented, he has significance to All Might and Deku as the would be successor and the one AM chose before he chose Deku. I totally doubt any student will die in the entirety of the manga, unless there's a time skip to when they're legal adults towards the end of its run.
