Lariat is the 5th holder of One for All, then.

First panel on Page 4 shows the fourth inheritor, a man with shaggy light hair and a facial tattoo, giving OFA to Lariat, who then hands it off (via blood, apparently -- neither appear to be grasping anything) to the 6th user, a black-haired man with a long collar. Collar is handing his hair to presumably Nana at the end of that panel.

We know the first user is AFO's brother, so I believe that just leaves the second and third users as people we haven't yet seen.

Viz chapter for these who like reading two pages at a time: https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/my-hero-academia-chapter-257/chapter/19849

Cook's trivia should be ready later tonight.

For some reason this whole chapter feels really ominous to me, and that's even before I got to the cliffhanger at the end.

Well yeah, we already know something bad is coming so all these kids sitting around having fun while Deku reflects on how blessed he is to be at UA is just reinforcing how hosed they're about to be.

Plus All Might and Aizawa talking about how him just being alive and around is enough to help the kids.

What I found weird was that quick comment near the end bringing up Stain. Is he going to make his comeback soon?

I feel like that's the third time All Might's been teased as talking to Stain. Or maybe he just keeps delaying it over and over again.

Why does All Might even need to talk to Stain? Is that something he wanted to do or does Stain have some useful info?

Hmm... Gran Torino warned him not to, but I think All Might still wants to figure out Shigaraki's deal. Stain is one of the only people they have access to who had personal contact with Shigaraki.

It makes a lot of sense imo. Stain is what basically kickstarted this whole thing and caused support to flock to the LoV plus he idol-worships All Might. If All Might can reform him and get him to publicly denounce his previous philosophy they probably expect support to erode hard.

It won't work of course because Shigaraki has finally figured out to put points in Charisma and he's moved things way beyond Stain.

Still wish we could see those convo's tho.

I'm not sure what Stain's reaction to seeing All Might will be-will he turn out to be just as much as a fanboy as Deku? Will he just be excessively polite? Or will he act somewhat normally?

Stain was in prison before All For One and All Might had their last fight, right? Is he even aware of his current form? That might be a shock to him.

I'll be sad if anyone dies but Aizawa, Mirio, Eri, and Mina are all absolutely NOT allowed to die. Please take note, Horikoshi, as you engage in your daily reading of this thread.

I want each volume of the manga to end with Bakugo explaining and showing how to make a recipe.

Look I know we don't want to see children die, but are you gonna be that crushed if say....Sugar man just didn't appear anymore in the comic?

There's some chaff here before it starts getting real is what I'm saying.

I don't think the character you're describing exists in this manga.

There's some Frog girl who occasionally says a line that, while sensible, most of the cast kind of just ignores. I think she cried at some point about wanting to go back to being care free children right after they saw the pillar of modern society fall in front of their eyes. Maybe had a fight off screen I think? Easy enough to be rid of.

He may have more now that Ujiko trusts him; Ujiko is clearly far beyond Overhaul in the evil science department.

If Horikoshi is gonna do it and have a real nasty Act 3 opener, we're gonna see people from the primary and secondary class get clipped all at once. Some of the adults are absolutely going to die, but it depends on Horikoshi's feelings about killing kids on screen if any of 1-A/1-B go. If you see anyone from 1-A/1-B die when the big event happens I'd say prepare for a bloodbath- if not, assume pretty much everyone is gonna live.

I've never felt death flags pop up for All Might since before his fight with All for One, but man, they're going off pretty fierce. I can practically see the post-apocalyptic time skip peeking over the horizon.
