Yeah. If I was going top five 1-A students to swear, it'd be Bakugo, Bakugo, Uraraka, Bakugo again, and Deku (but only when he's getting into his whole Bakugo combat mindset).

Iida's right next to Momo and Koda in the "I can't see it" category.

I know this is a classic element of manga and anime but we could use maybe a few less reaction panels of characters' faces looking shocked scattered around the borders of every page.

She seems like a good candidate to get powers stolen by Shigaraki, since flight and energy attacks are both pretty standard and useful abilities

Honestly I figure she's going to get dusted. We already have "Oh no I lost my powers!" and "Oh no my mentor is gravely wounded!", it wouldn't add much to the story for Nejire to have yet another instance of that.

Endeavor is right there in range of a pretty much fully healthy Dabi, though.

The main villain is still standing and his army just arrived and the only people here still able to fight are Shoto, Iida, and Nejire. Sure hope Momo's anesthesia starts working soon.

I'm guessing Shiggy passes out from destruction and the big mountain boy decides its time to retreat to save his master. Since the league is on his back, they are forced along with him since they don't want to risk splitting up with their leader.

Machia picks up Shiggy and heads off after another skirmish; both sides retreat in a bloody draw and begin to dig in for a hero-villain cold war. Deku loses his arms and needs super-prosthetics, Torino and maybe Midnight bite it, Hawks' back is burned to the bone so his flying days are over, Mirko gets prosthetics as shown in a cover, Eraser gets a new leg, Hatsume Mei suddenly becomes a very important character, Momo has to be talked out of suicide, and Deku has to spill the beans about OFA cause too many people have too many questions.

That, I believe, is what happens next.

Best Jeanist is absolutely going to show up at the last moment and capture Gigantomachia. I dunno if he STAYS captured, maybe. Gigantomachia can't really be contained, so unless he somehow gets killed the only way to contain him would be to literally just keep him in a coma with sedatives which is sorta hosed up for heroes to do.

If Shigaraki has to retreat, he probably heads for Tartarus- barring some other hidden fortress.

It's gonna be pretty funny when Uraraka is the one to figure out that "saving everyone" includes the villains before Deku does. That's basically whats being set up, right? She'll realise that Toga is still able to be redeemed and promise to help her figure out how to live her Normal Life without hurting people (non-consensually) or something. Probably with a bunch of yuri undertones on Ochacho's part and overtones on Toga's.

I have to assume that AfO knows that Shiggy is about to pass out if he does any more, rendering AfO unable to help him from the beyond, and will be captured by whichever survivor next turns up (presumably Jeanist), which is the only reason he isn't letting Shiggy dust everyone here and is actively holding him off the ground.

As for Deku, lord knows what'll happens. I assume that there'll be some development that lets him keep his arms, because it would be pretty bloody stupid if the spirits made their declaration that they've chosen Deku as their successor right after he irrevocably blew his own arms off.

We still have another shoe to drop in the quirk/predecessor that All Might was concerned about. I'm still taking bets on it being regeneration with nasty strings attached.

Ochaco's from a family of low-class construction workers.

She knows words that would make Bakugo tell her to watch her loving mouth.

Back in those days when Iida got as much focus as Todoroki and Bakugo.

All that's missing is the ring.
A full character arc that is still relevant to the story for Iida is a lot more than the...fourth male protagonist usually gets in a shonen story. Not sure what the criticism is about on that one unless you want Hori to put out 3 issues a week.

Wish the girls would get more focus but that'll always be a shonen problem.

On the other hand, I think this and a chapter or so ago might be the most screen time Tsuyu has gotten in a while now.

Horikoshi made a conscious decision to spend huge swathes of the manga focusing on characters who are not part of Class 1A, so it's not like there hasn't been any space for characters like Iida and Ochako to have screen time, he just chose to spend that space elsewhere.

If it is some kind of regeneration quirk, then I'm betting it'll be a "regenerate now, shorten your overall lifespan later" type deal.

That, or it permanently draws energy from other people, which even if you only do it on villains is a pretty big yikes.
