All Might managed to stomp all over his own death flags, I'd like to see Endeavor do the same.

:same: I don't want Endeavor to die because the Todoroki family's arc of an abusive parent trying to atone to his victims and where they'll go from now is way more compelling than if he just died to make the situation more grim.

Endeavor is definitely 100% going to die within the next 10 Endeavor focused chapters.

But they'll get his heart started again real quick and he won't even be dead for a full minute.

Yeah, the Todoroki family situation has been genuinely compelling in a way that just killing Endeavour off wouldn't be, and much more than if he were just instantly forgiven in the typical Weekly Shonen Jump fashion.

But h o o b o y he's been throwing around death flags left and right

The big attack by the league that's possibly coming in 4 months in-world is one of two things:

1. The final battle of the manga and basically the end.

or

2. The first half of Hori's MHA Infinity War, or specifically- the opening of the third act.

If it's the first then Endeavor and All Might maybe stand a chance. If it's the latter we're gonna see a lot of loving people get clipped. We gotta have an "All is lost!!" thing going on and the second movie is stealing part of it (Deku and Bakugou nearly dead, leading to some genuine combo attack from them) so it has to get punched up somehow.

Volume 25 is out today, it has a colored picture of Burnin in it. Her hair(fire) is green!



Here are some other pages(with translations taken from reddit)



"Burnin (25) Moe Kamiji

Birthday: 1/18 Height: 169 cm Likes: Festivals

THE SIDEKICK Endeavor Agency is filled with ambitious people. Even amongst them, Moe’s ambition and high motivation to improve herself is particularly remarkable and she stood out quickly after joining. She wasn’t originally an Endeavor fan, but working closely with him and seeing the way he works she has come to respect him."



"Kotaro Shimura (32)

THE BUSINESS

Birthday: 7/13 Height: 178 cm Likes: Nao (his wife), Hana, Tenko, Mako (mother-in-law), Chizuo (father-in-law), his mother (Nana)

THE SUPPLEMENT He just wanted his family to be happy.}



"Dabi

Birthday: 1/18 Height: 176 cm Likes: ???

Fire resistant clothes. Detnerat Company made them for him.

THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES The decorations on the cuffs of his sleeves were inspired by a stove burner. I was inspired, not Dabi. When I was making instant ramen."



"Shigaraki ver. 2 Version 2 that totally fell apart in this volume. I really liked this look but it was hard to draw.

Trench coat + A military coat-like coat Big hood"



"I mentioned it in volume 23 too but let me say again there’s going to be a second movie!

But really, if there was a bowl for putting all of the things I’m grateful for in, right now that bowl would be absolutely overflowing and this room would be full of gratefulness. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I’m really excited to see how it turns out. And this time the movie actually takes place at right around the same place in the timeline as this volume 25. Surprising right. I think it’s made so that even people that haven’t been reading the manga can enjoy it, but if you read this before you see the movie there should be some things that make you think “Ooh” and nod your head. Like Hawks hasn’t even been in the anime yet.

Anyways! Here’s the start of volume 25! Actually it’s already started! This is page 22! Oh well~~~!!"

Here are the rest of the extra pages

The pacing seems way too slow to be wrapping up any time soon. Deku has a load of undiscovered abilities still to go, and there's a lot of stuff around hero society and the quirk singularity that has really only been ticking over in the background until now. The attack will probably be the beginning of the second half of the series, if anything.

That's quick turnover for Burnin. I wonder how long he's been waiting to draw her and if he timed it right so he could get her on the cover.

Yeah, but then Nighteye popped up with the whole "you're going to die in the next year or two" prophecy, raising even more death flags.

Plus, we now know that even if All Might does die, he'll just pop back up as one of Deku's quirk ghosts.

Deku proved that Nighteye's predictions aren't infallible.

(God, Nighteye as a character sucked horribly and his quirk was really stupid.)

I mean, it's kind of weird that Nighteye just randomly shoved his subordinate into a tickle fetish machine out of nowhere to teach her a lesson.

It's doubly weird, because he never does any weird poo poo like that ever again for the rest of the story.

Nighteye follows up the weirdass tickle torture thing with gaslighting Izuku over the job, and then spends most of the work-study telling him that he doesn't deserve his Quirk or his dream.

He also acknowledged Deku had shown skill and was legitimately impressed with how he performed during his 3 minute trial before going into a fatal one on one fight he almost certainly knew he was going to die in to make sure Deku and everyone else can escape.

It's honestly probably a little of both. The kanji is from the former but the reading is the same as the latter.

It's cool for exactly why you described. Everything involving Deku, Mirio, and Eri has been fairly good. I particularly appreciate Mirio's bit about capes, and Deku refusing to make the same mistake again (putting Eri down).

It's just that Overhaul feels like the villain in one of those Naruto feature films where they have to get through 90 minutes without significantly altering the status quo. I get why people are grumpy about it.
