It's incredibly likely that Horikoshi is a wrestling fan, right.

Todoroki in the ghost costume I assume? Since his left eye is on fire.

Now I can remove the spoiler tags:


Also on pages 12/13 you can see that she's lost her All-Might-like face when she switches her second Rule from herself to the lasers.

It seems clear this isn't going to kill Shigaraki, right? So this should convey to Deku that he's going to have to figure out another way to take down Shigaraki, not through sheer firepower or punchharder or whatever.

I've assumed that has always been the plan since Deku wants to save Shigaraki.

Listen, I'm going to ignore/forget about panels that tell me exactly what's going to happen in the story so I can get smug satisfaction for "calling it", and you can't stop me.

I think the difference is that before it was an ideological decision because Deku wanted to save him, where now it's looking like that might also be the only practical decision anyway. I don't think it undermines Deku's decision earlier, but it might mean that everyone gets on board with Deku's plan of not killing him now knowing that it's kind of a moot point anyway.

I saw the new movie.


These finales are getting kinda hard to parse. Visually impressive but incoherent at times. The movie only buddy character was fun, though. Good quirk.

Same, but with how insane OFA is Deku could absolutely punch even harder than this.



Also, I'm sure the official translation is more competently done but "I'll pulverize him in ways that are illegal in Japan" is a much better line.

i really dig the panels where stars and stripes has an almost lichtenstein pop art vibe

between this and the opportunity for non-stop star wars references, i think horikoshi must be having an absolute blast with these chapters

Making Star Wars references and drawing buff women is Horikoshi's therapy for dealing with the weekly mangaka schedule.

Right, up until what's about to happen, it was still on the table that Deku has the killviolence as a fallback if he can't successfully do whatever to get through to Tenko. Now it's save or lose.

I'm not so sure about that. We haven't seen Deku using Fa Jin to power up a punch yet. If he manages to land a 100% Smash that's been boosted a few times I find it hard to imagine it wouldn't just explode whatever it hits (and probably Deku's arm too).

Saw World Heroes Mission today, I thought it was really cool. The finale wasn’t as batshit as Two Heroes with Deku giving Bakugo OFA, but it was still balls to the wall 100% OFA effects which was really cool

I think that you can count on your fingers the number of series where technology is stronger than whatever superpower system they have.

The tactical nuclear strike will fail, but Deku will be able to punch even harder than ever before.

It's pretty classic superhero storytelling to present the hero with a problem they simply can't solve by punching it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if physically overpowering Shigaraki For One is off the table.

How is Deku going to get the ultimate PUNCH GOOD/SMASH power and not win by punching all his problems? :colbert: That doesn't seem very Plus Ultra of him.

Deku doesn't even get to punch as hard as All Might, who already couldn't punch hard enough to permanently remove All For One as a problem

Deku is just going to use his whip ability to give Shiggy the big hug he needs to not be evil.

Clearly Deku needs to take inspiration from Superman's superdickery toward Jimmy Olsen and trick Shiggy to stop being evil. Have him force Shiggy to marry a gorilla, who's actually Spinner in a suit, who is actually a robot Deku got from Mei.
