I try not to be negative in anime threads too often, but I’m just getting tired at this point. My least favorite thing in manga is when the villain side just keeps getting stronger and the heroes just keep losing. There needs to be back and forth. As it is we’re already way past the point where if you ask how the heroes can win, the only answer is “the script says they do”. Bakugo just died and the villains are STILL getting stronger. Why? I already have no clue how they can reasonably be defeated by anyone other than Izuku using a new ability, and it’s been that way since this arc started. Are we now seeing that actually the other villains than Shigaraki are also too strong for the side characters so Izuku has to solo the entire villain alliance?

I've run out of opinions to have on the actual plot that's happening so I just want to say that Iida and Todoroki look incredibly pretty in their one panel.

I'm coming around on all of this actually since it's more interesting than what was being set up earlier which was Dabi getting chumped inside of a chapter and a half and everyone successfully sandbagging Shigaraki in a boring manner where nobody gets the upper hand until Goku shows up. If you're gonna have the badguys *really* get the upper hand for once in this series you may as well just go for it. I dunno what to tell you if you really think Deku is gonna fly around fighting everyone's fights for them. I will say the timing and arrangement of all these events is still weird to me. Feels like putting the cart before the horse. Fabricated fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Aug 19, 2022 |

Any shot of him where you can see his body in perspective at all makes his weird giraffe neck more prominent. It's a funny gag but looks even weirder when you got this guy in this life and death situation where major characters are getting brutally killed, lol

Story’s not doing a great job at establishing when everything is happening so it looks like All for One just had the slowest regeneration while everyone stood by and watched.

So this feels like the the end of act 2. We are now at a new low point the villains are so much stronger that they are just going to win and move forward doing their poo poo. what possible turnaround turn around are we going to get that it feels like it's earned to make this the actual final battle? We already had the villains at what Seem to be their strongest and the heroic turnaround quick turnaround and now we're doing another turnaround?Just loving end the story

I'm speculating entirely here, this is spoilered because it's about the current chapter: We've had pretty much the entire relevant cast show up at this point, strongly signalling this is the endgame. Who's missing, other than Deku? All Might, Eri, and Overhaul. If All For One gets to revert his body back to Prime AFO, what's to say that this isn't a setup for Eri/Overhaul to temporarily revert All Might to Prime Might and take down AFO one last time (more quickly on-page than in Kamino, probably), likely dying in the process and fulfilling Nighteye's prophecy? edit: Further, all the fights we've had so far were mismatches. This was signalled early by Deku v. Toga being tossed aside quickly as a distraction, for the "real" fight to be Toga vs. Froppy/Uravity. Endeavor needs to personally resolve Dabi, Deku needs to be fighting Shigaraki instead of having Bakugo fight him and die, etc. Who "should" be fighting AFO? All Might.

CuwiKhons posted:If All Might shows back up at full power then there's been no point to literally this entire story since the beginning. You're not wrong, but I've kinda felt that way since the Star and Stripe fight. For one, whatever depth the villains had seems to have been thrown out the window to focus on "cool" (I can't really make out half of what goes on in the fights anymore) shonen stock and that was a big hook for me before.

If we didn’t already know this was the final arc I’d say this was going to end in a loss for the heroes and timeskip. Only thing I can think of to save this is the international heroes will show up(hopefully with The Crawler) to give the heroes some time to regroup

I can't wait for Shigaraki to reveal that he still has two transformations left. I also can't wait for that to actually happen and feel despair that my dumb joke came true.

He doesn't need transformations, this is him fighting well below his full power. Regarding the chapter, I still don't know what could reverse Bakugo's death. Maybe some ridiculous rear end-pull about Shiggy's been fighting Camies illusions the whole time?

what a snooze. as has been pointed out, there was already no clear way for the heroes to win short of "Deku's punches are just that crazy powerful" (boring, seems inconsistent with what we've been presented so far), "the Second's quirk is powerful enough to turn the tide" (lame), or Deus ex Eri or other device (eh). this turn doesn't actually change that, and has been foreshadowed since May (Dabi's weird glow) and clearly incoming since June (AFO regenerating). It'll probably read a little better in volume format but boy is it a slog right now.
