Like the whole Stars and Stripes diversion was a huge waste of time with no benefit. It's just incredibly weird how he's trying to speedrush to the ending and finish the series while still hitting every plot beat he wanted to include at some time.

It's such a waste of a good series and really went down a bad path the moment Shigaraki got into that machine.

This is why you don't listen to those people that complain about plot armor or whatever. A major character is going to die and it feels so empty.

Good news!

Even if he doesn't die due to Eri or whatever, it will still be empty!

This fight feels like a slog. Its Madara levels of boring. it wont even be that great when afo is a stain on the wall . Constantly having the villain go NUH HUH I CANT BE BEAT is loving grating.

It’s amazing that despite how drawn out the final battle was Vigilantes was still overall a better manga than the main one is turning out to be (also please give us an anime adaption even if it has to go somewhere else besides the channel MHA is on)

Waiting For Goku sucked when dragon ball z did it as well.

In fact the only show that's ever done that well is one punch man.

I don't actually remember because I'm completely tuned out but basically Eraser is shutting down all of Shigaraki's power and ALL he has left is the magical ability to create huge amounts of super-strong super-durable human mass around himself right? Which DEFINITELY SOMEHOW isn't a quirk? This is what the entire fight is happening around?

Yeah it's dumb as hell and it's the result of giving Shigaraki a million quirks and then having to erase them all to make him not instant win but then oops of he's just a regular guy he's going to get instantly defeated by everyone so...

Yes! The whole fight is essentially based around “this superpower is not actually a quirk, because ?????” on account of Horikoshi either being unable or unwilling to either kill off eraser or meaningfully nerf shigaraki, both of which being things that were clearly set up and then hastily abandoned.

I think its instructive to remember at moments like this that jumps primary demographics in the home market are bored salarymen on the train too dead inside to appreciate writing, and literal children.

This fight is happening around Shiggy/AFO's sheer capacity to scream NUH-UH to everything anyone else does on the at all times, and the playground monitor has completely checked out for a smoke break and he just keeps getting louder.

Is that an All-Might OFA quirk ghost? How is Bakugou talking to him? Is the movie were he gets OFA for five minutes canon??? Is that future-Deku narrating how Bakugou is blowing hinself up internally?

at this point I actually logistically do not see how this fight would even happen unless the second’s quirk is, like, Gold Experience Requiem or something similarly insane

I skimmed through the last few chapters after dropping this series for a few months? Years? And it's a shame that this series that started with such a cute and fun premise (and such endearing designs!) turned into whatever this is.

The name of this series is My Hero Academia. As in, My Education on Being a Hero. A fun school thing! And now it's just...whatever this is.

Madara at least sometimes managed a "gently caress, man, that was pretty close" when a side character failed to beat him. I kind of love these series that make Naruto look better in retrospect.

Ehhhh let's not rewrite that. He sucked just as much.

Nah Deku left already, he's flying towards the Saiya—I mean Shiggy right now. Uraraka's with Toga, and Asui I think.

Last I heard the manga was selling great still.

It's going to be funny if the next chapter cuts away from dead Bakugou to check up on how the other students are doing.

If there is one thing I know for sure it is that dramatic 'this character is doomed' scenes in shonen are always what they appear, especially in cliffhangers.

In unrelated news I can't believe the invisible girl was the traitor all along.
