Oh, poo poo, I know where this is going. Re-Destro's going to call an army of thousands of pawns to rise up and just get just a wet fart of support. And then Shigaraki will beat him with a handful of people he actually cares about. It'll be kind of the culmination of the character arc that Overhaul started.

Shirigaki is just gonna disintegrate Re-Destro and take over his operation, starting a villian version of Luffy's Grand Fleet.

He's gonna lock the guy up in a dungeon somewhere so Toga can drain his blood and take over his business in order to use it's resources for the League.

This is what I'm thinking too, more or less. At the least it seems like a very likely possibility.

If that spoilered speculation is what happens, then it's being foreshadowed in his introductory chapter, where the company's move into hero support isn't going as well as they anticipated.

Incidentally, while rereading Chapter 218, I notice that the CEOs are holding up their hands in the shape "L" as Re-Destro is entering the meeting room, and he holds his hand up in that shape as he addresses them. Guessing that's their sign for "Liberation" (and not "Loser" :v:)

Also in that chapter, the assistant says he read the book and thought it was pretentious garbage. Most of the people who bought it probably think the same thing.

This villain group is a bunch of CEOs, they are definitely just a bunch of rich people who are huffing their own farts. Any real followers they have were probably bought, not convinced.

I mean there are plenty of people not only willing but stupidly eager to huff rich people's farts, and that's in society where you are not banned using your inborn ability to fly to work and avoid commute or to help your family company with anti-gravity power or to create infinite gold and tank global economy, because it wouldn't be fair. (and billion other reason's and you could theoretically get a permit to use your quirk to some degree, but the whole fairness thing is definitely on forefront).

We've already seen a follower try to attack hero society, in Chapter 186. It's not going to be 110k but it's not going to be nothing, either.

Yeah no evil CEO has ever had an entire army of stupid followers that were loyal to them for no reason, why someone like that could become president.

I think Spinner might actually be at risk of falling for the Liberation Army's ideology, if he's feeling disillusioned with the league he might be shopping around for a new belief system.

Part of what makes a villain arc interesting is Horikoshi's got a lot more plot structural freedom to work with - even though Spinner's a minor goof character, he's free to get killed off, or become cynical, or turn face, or buy into Shigaraki's vision. How the League become world-class threats to the heroes who seem to have all the advantages right now is more of an open question than the heroes' own journey.

If the abyss gazes long into you then stare right back;
make it blink.
The apocryphal advise on severing fingers to get people to talk is that if they are going to talk your best chance is after the first finger. If the captive can handle that then you are probably never going to get anything out of them that way and continuing is just going to maim and torture them for no gain.

This situation really makes it clear that the League are not good guys but they are way better people that the Liberation army.

I appreciate that Redestro looks just as deranged as Shigaraki at his most deranged, but in an entirely different way.

I think the best way would be how Crunchyroll does it, where the newest chapter is behind the paywall for a week and then it becomes free.

poo poo meaning ineffective or poo poo meaning undesirable? Rewarding people who check every week seems like a good way to please the most committed fans, who are also probably the most likely to want to invest further in the site anyway.

I feel like "free to access the beginning and the newer stuff" is better than "everything but the newest stuff is free and even that's only not free for a week." Access to the vault is what keeps me subscribed, even if I mainly only read new chapters. Also I want to support Jump.
