It's almost like that scene was deliberately written to make Tokoyami look cool, but with enough caveats as to not ruin the power levels in our punch comic.

For a dude who owns a support equipment company you'd think he could have better fake legs.

I imagine fake legs are still hard thing to get right. As they were creaking under his size increase. Tokoyami attacks pushed them over the limit.

The liberation front guys are all going to be defeated or captured by the end of the arc and we will be back to our core villain group + Gigantomachia.

Destro just got beat with the gravitas of that large mafia man from the Overhaul arc, except he didn't last near as long. It seems really likely.

I don't particularly care for them but it's funny that despite joining the Liberation Front being what supposedly elevated the VA to a giant threat they haven't really done anything for them besides Sushi parties.

I'm now remembering All Might's advice to Deku about not relying too much on support items because if they break down, you'll be left vulnerable.

There will be another school festival arc. It just will be held by the PLA.

MHA and Kimetsu No Yaiba spoilers this week are are just- geez.

Actual Spoilers, actual things happen, just FYI: Hawks barely pulls himself and Twice out of Dabi's flames. Twice escapes to go find the others and Hawks (who is burned and has lost most of his feathers) confronts Dabi. Twice may have died??? The Twice that Hawks pulled free starts to fall apart (or he makes another clone in the pages we don't see???) and turns to goo in Toga's arms after finding her. I'm confused???

My opinion: It makes no sense that he'd turn to goo or whatever but I bet he's dead. Ujiko made a point to say that he lost the noumu thing he made with Twice's quirk. Twice is too powerful to leave in the equation, he has to go, plotwise. :(

The opposite, I think he's too useful to the plot to go. He really shone during the Training Forest arc--Dabi got to strut his stuff and fight a hero, and when he was defeated, goop. We'll see Dabi again later, unfortunately. He gets to continue as an antagonist. Twice lets you skip setting up a backstory for every single fight. And when you try to have fights without backstories, you wind up with the eight precepts, who sucked.

not gonna lie, out of all the villains Twice had the most redeemable qualities and he finally fixed his trauma so it would be a bummer to see him go

If Dabi actually killed Twice, I have to suspect he's a mole. No one in a story is that incompetent consistently without something being off.

Dabi probly figures hell, there’s probly another Twice hanging around somewhere and it’s not like we need the original. He’s awesome. I wish I could be that effective and that incompetent at my job.

It seems more likely that Twice realized he's in danger and made a clone to send to Toga instead of exposing himself again.

The only way this could be funnier is if Hawks somehow convinces the rest of the League that Dabi is the traitor instead of him and keep his cover. "He killed Twice and he's secretly Endeavor's son, how could he not be a spy?"

okay, it's a bit clearer now: The real twice gets knocked off a balcony by Hawks and he presumably dies. One of his clones tells Toga what happened and falls apart.

Sorry about that, this week's stuff is one of those things that can spark a lot of speculation. Also the scans are all really bad quality- so if you avoid spoilers this week's chapter will be way worth seeing officially when it doesn't look like poo poo.

Well they still have Geten the ice dude, who we know is very powerful, Toga could also do some damage depending on who's blood she has on hand to copy(and she'll be out for revenge for Twice), and of course Gigantomachia could wake up at any moment.

I dunno, it really seems like the fight has been very one-sided at this point. I know there's an expectation that there will be a turnaround but we haven't even seen like, Gang Orca or Mount Lady get into the fight, and the League tough guys have not had a good showing against the supposedly weaker students.

Mostly I'm bummed about Twice dying. Poor Twice!
