Imagine if Overhaul also levels up and finds out that he can use his powers so long as there's any hands in front of his wrists.

So he draws some hands on the floor with some water and wouldn't you know it...

The next arc is going to be a low stakes school arc, except Deku is going to be tied up in the background of every shot, being forced to have fun with his friends instead of going on a one man crusade against evil.

At this point, I half expect Deku's friends to just Talk no Jutsu him until he cries and goes back to UA with them. :v:

I think the downside of that is to use it well Overhaul's quirk required a huge amount of practice and somewhat in depth knowledge of the human body. Maybe i'm just imagining it but didn't Overhaul acquire that talent with it by not worrying about the results on the earlier victims? Accidently killing a few dozen yakuza underlings for practice isn't something Monoma can do.
True, although this almost seems to suggest a heroic arc with Monoma - he warms up on Deku's arms (Deku is a moron and would probably be glad to let Monoma try several times until he got it right) and moves up to like irrecoverable coma patients with consent of next of kin. He could also ask Overhaul for advice, although the dude is a punk.

A nicer way of doing this is that I believe with that villain doctor's Quirk technology, you could remove someone's natural Quirk and give them a synthetic duplicate of Overhaul's quirk. This also has the advantage that you don't have to carry Overhaul around with you like the Child in the Mandalorian.

Overhaul will take a page from Deku and realize he can use his quirk with his feet.

Overhaul meditates until he discovers that time is an illusion and uses the hands that he will have after he heals himself in order to heal himself in the present.

Unfortunately, then he discovers lunchtime is doubly an illusion, and promptly starves to death.

This is cool, but it's partially falling flat for me. Probably because we didn't actually see most of these flashbacks when they supposedly occurred. And to bring up Vigilantes (I know, I know), seeing how that series has utilized the sense of community that was developed from the very start, this can't help but seem a bit weaker.

I like "all of them are using their powers in concert to try to stop him from running away" a lot more than "let's have a fight" as a story beat.

I don't think so. She did come along on the Bakugou rescue mission, but when it came time to actually come up with a plan to get Bakugou out safely, Momo was the only one who didn't have a part in Deku's plan.

I'm hoping for Uraraka to slap Deku again, like at the beginning of the manga when she saved him from impacting with the ground.

And then everyone will make up and we'll get a pan out shot that shows Deku floating slightly off of the ground.

The waterworks today will be nothing compared to when Iida and Ochaco get their chance to talk to him. Bakugo is definitely gonna be the one to bring him home though

Additionally, notice how Deku isn’t reacting as sharply to what Class A is doing. Part of it is that he’s tired, but since they aren’t coming at him maliciously, Danger Sense isn’t going off either

Deku trying to shrug it off by saying "Eh she doesn't need me, someone else can give her candy apples" really sold the whole Deku-repressing-his-feelings to me. Amidst all the superhero powers, claiming that people who care about you can just move on without you is very real.

Knocking the mask off to reveal he's crying underneath is also a nice touch.

There's been plenty of purely SOL sections. All the interactions the characters mentioned did happen on panel I'm pretty sure.

A lot of these connections are just so tenuous that it makes this whole fight seem really silly.

Again, as with all things in this manga, half of class 1-A should be there right now

E: That translation also butchered something when Deku escaped Ragnarok, Danger Sense should be going hog wild right now but it's not because there's no danger or malice, not that the other kids sense it.

With the exception of Todoroki Bird and maybe Frog it was the wrong-rear end half

E: For real though, is Momo's arc now just drugging her enemies? Because that 100% tracks with what her mentor (Midnight) did but it's just a bizarre way to go
