To be fair if this IS leading to Act 3 and not just the final battle, AND he has the balls to do the Infinity War-level culling to open Act 3 he's gonna probably kill a bunch of people.

for real though he'll probably just kill adults; Hawks and Endeavor better have life insurance policies, and All Might better hope those flags still aren't good. Throw some dice for the UA faculty too.

That's one way to get Shinso into Class A.

Question for everyone: Why do you think Horikoshi killed Magne (aside from the obvious two answers of "Establish Chisaki's credibility and how dangerous his Quirk is" and "Raise the stakes")? Did he honestly not see her character going anywhere?

The first one. As for why her specifically, dunno- it could've been Spinner, Magne, or Compress who got blown up.

It's possible he just saw her as the least interesting of league members, particularly quirk wise.

Compress's utility as a plot device later on likely made him too important to kill off, Toga's almost certainly making it to the end of the series, Dabi has Todoroki plot to resolve, and Spinner's got really high odds of dying later to show Shigaraki's really done loving around with people not marching to his drum.

Is this a real chapter? The art doesn't seem like Horikoshi's, and the translation is... kind of insane, yo.

Huh. This isn't really a spoiler, but this chapter's reveal makes a lot more sense if you've read the Vigilantes spin-off, or at least the last ten chapters of it or so.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

That must have been some good planning on Vigilantes part. The timing is pretty perfect.

amigolupus

This is just really weird. So Kurogiri's a Nomu. But we know Nomus are just mindless dolls, while we've seen Kurogiri show sentience and character. So does that mean Kurogiri's some sort of super special prototype?

One thing I'm curious about is whether this is actually Shirakumo's consciousness, or if they just used his body and stuck someone else's brain into him. Shirakumo in Vigilantes was more of an upbeat airhead which doesn't really match how Kurogiri was more of a levelheaded caretaker to Shigaraki.

This sort of continuity synergy is just like in western comic books. Hori's really stepping up his game in taking inspiration from it. :allears:

Oh, was the chapter you're talking about during his farwell party? If so, then around chapter 51 or 52.

Vigilantes has been directly connected to the main series for a while now through various means but this dovetails the plot right into it finally.

Also Vigilantes is very good- read it.

While we wait for the Viz translation, if anyone is interested the Mangastream scanlation is significantly more coherent than the JB scanlation: https://readms.net/r/my_hero_academia/253/6393/3
