Yeah, that's a fair reason for him to be harsh towards the kids, really.

Also, oh dear. Aizawa was slowed and then Overhaul did his crazy spike thing. There's really no excuse for him being able to dodge it other than Overhaul having poo poo aim, so I'm worried about him. His power is kind of a hard counter to nearly everyone else, so I can see something bad happening to him here to write him out.

And wow, Overhaul, you fucker.

Overhaul seems to be gotten increasingly unstable, so it wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't aim his attack very well.

Great chapter. this almost certainly seems to be it for overhaul. I guess the VA might try to make off with the serum and bullets?

Overhaul is definitely the best quirk besides the obvious All for One. He'd be the best healer in the world, he could turn any disaster site into a state of the art hospital and evacuation site, his power's unbelievably versatile in a fight on top of the one hit kill/ko. He can do everything Momo can do but without any restrictions. People are comparing it to FMA but FMA requires circles and has restrictions on humans and what not. He wouldn't necessarily beat the most unstoppable 1 on 1 fighter around (as we saw with Mirio, and even that I feel like could've been written the other way rather easily) but all the other things he can do are so insanely versatile and useful.

Maybe there's some restrictions and weaknesses we don't know about built in but as it's been presented so far it'd be my #1 quirk choice.

It's a ridiculous quirk no matter what, but I imagine there's a chance the complexity of a remodel makes it take longer to do, if nothing else because he would need to conceptualize the result. So creating a hospital at a disaster site or whatever might be possible, but it might also require a while of him planning out how to create the structure (and he'd also be limited to the materials at hand). I wonder what the range limit is for his ability. Like, can he just suddenly destroy every building in a city by destroying their supports or whatever?

It's interesting you mentioned Momo, because yeah, he's basically like Momo except radically, dramatically better. The only thing I think Momo can do that he can't is created certain materials from scratch, while Overhaul is presumably limited to the materials he has access to.

edit: By the way, it seemed like that Lock hero has some ability to "lock down" people on contact. If so, that's pretty good; it's sorta like Stain's quirk, but arguably better (depending on if he needs to remain in contact with them to keep them "locked down."

edit2: Wait, Overhaul fused with Nemoto, but Nemoto doesn't really have a useful quirk for battle (and the added mass of another person isn't likely to give him physical strength/ability on par with Deku).

There's a possibility that people are overlooking, if Chisaki has Deku's quirk.

Nemoto's quirk can make Chisaki force Deku to tell him how his quirk works and what weaknesses it might have.

I remember some vague line where using his ability uses a lot of energy so if Overhaul is super exhausted after doing something crazy then that would be the mitigating factor. However he's pretty much gone nuts with this fight so it seems like he's even more busted than Momo since she's at least constrained by her own body's nutrients.

Yes, but Overhaul just essentially ate one of his minions. He's probably back up and running.

I feel kinda bad. I love lemons and all the heros shown but I just do not care about this plot at all and I have no idea why. I'm just not feeling any excitement from it and I kinda want it to over sooner rather than later.

Eggplant Squire

I like parts of this arc and dislike others. The art is some spots has been hard to follow, too much time was spent on backstories for various characters (although I appreciate Mina break dancing) which broke up the flow of fights, and there were a lot of ancillary characters we suddenly were supposed to care about. On the other hand I like Mirio's fight a bunch, Overhaul has made me want him to go down, and the Villain Alliance backstabbing the yakuza was also fun. I think it's the sort of thing that will be better when you read it in a book instead of having to wait every week.

there's not much tension. like the hero forces vastly outnumbers and outguns the villains and they're also being sabotaged by the VA. the only casualty so far is mirio losing his quirk (unlikely to stay permanent)

Yeah there was some tension in the Mirio fight because he was fighting against a bunch of guys, had the handicap of protecting the child, and Overhaul's power is absurd. Now that everyone has broken in, it's pretty lopsided against Overhaul and I'm not sure how him eating his lackey is going to make a huge difference.

How many people are actually there? Eraserhead is likely incapacitated and can't really fight, Nighteye is only good for attacking as a relatively normal human and Overhaul likely just picked up a quirk that should counter his ability hard, and Overhaul has two lives left from his other lackeys if his ability is repeatable.

Even if it's just Deku, Nighteye and a hurt EraserHead all they have to do is stall until the people outside enter. But there's also Double + Toga.

Overhaul isn't a superior version of Momo. His ability is limited by what is available to work with on hand while Momo is basically limited by her knowledge of materials science. He'll, she can conjure flashbangs out of nothing.

It might be because Overhaul isn't very interesting and the other cool stuff surrounding this aren't enough to pull him up for you. I was in the same boat until the VA showed up because i'm very invested in their story and I liked the 2 chapters of Mirio a lot as well, but i'm in a weird situation where I don't actually care about the main character's fight with the main villain of the arc at all and i'm more hoping the bad dude gets away so he can get killed by cooler villains.

Overhaul can rearrange existing particles. Yaomomo can rearrange her own fat cells on a subatomic level to create any material whatsoever.

But also they're just super powers and aren't beholden to any form of science or realism. Yaomomo made a million flashbangs without having to stop and eat. Overhaul can temporarily combine someone with a tire, or merge with someone and use their quirk. It's comic book science, don't worry about it.

This arc turned a 180 for me about when the VA showed up. Feels a bit early IMO for Overhaul to go down but ah well I guess. I was expecting a longer game of cat and mouse with him.
