At this point, All Might has so many death flags, that I think we are looking at Mr. Burns situation, where they all cancel each other out and All Might is going to live forever.

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.

I'm still standing by the silhouetted one with tall hair being the tool Noumu from the camp arc.

Interestingly, it seems to suggest that atleast 4 and 5 handed down One For All more as a matter of urgency because they were on the edge of death rather than picking a particular successor ahead of time and then going off to fight AFO after handing it off like Nana and All Might did.

I'm guessing 4/5 didn't really die fighting AFO directly? It seems unlikely he'd let them get away with handing it off like that, so presumably they died in the process of fighting his criminal empire as opposed to the man himself.

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.

Deku is trying to not follow in All Might's shadow as much, so he'll go to Europe or something instead.

Honestly, of people I predict to die, I can only really see Hawks, All Might, maybe Endeavor, and possibly one of the smaller or less notable heroes/teachers like Cementoss.

They will kill everyone except Bakugo, including Deku. With his dying breath Deku will give OfA to Bakugo and we'll start the true series.

The reveal at the end of this chapter, unless it's kind of a headfake is not what I was expecting.

So maybe a significant number of pros just outright vanish, and the big thing coming next is the kids having to do full-fledged pro hero work themselves to make up the difference? I could see the UA staff/faculty not liking the idea and the kids (including the other hero schools) basically being press ganged into full pro work by the government to prevent a panic.

A part of me wonders if the "Heroes disappearing" bit at the end isn't as literal as we think it is.

Like, heroes don't start dropping like flies or going poof, they mean it more like "Dr. Ujiko cracked the science behind the Quirk erasing bullets and now Spinner, Compress, and Geten are on a Quirk-assassin mission to stop all heroes in the city dead".

If Hawks still needs to maintain his cover, he could probably get all of the major heroes in a room for an ambush.

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.
Off screen?? Tsuyu led the absolute best fight of the entire Class A VS Class B training battles and is a champion. There are 19 other kids in Class A worth cutting before her and I will not let you use your lovely memory to sully her good name.

Considering how the other two are posed it is most likely a big moment in the fight where Deku saves them.

Maybe all the heroes vanishing actually has to do with their final exam? Or maybe they already skipped past finals, I forget how Japanese school years work.

The kids first year ends in the middle of March if they go by normal Japanese school schedules, and it's now March. So they got finals, then the closing ceremony- then it's on to year 2!

I believe it's always translated as just first year, second year, third year. Not sure if the original Japanese is more nuanced.

I know in Pokemon you see Senpai and Kouhai get swapped to Senior and Junior. More of a relative thing, though.
