Yeah I can't tell if they're sleeper agents or just intensely disturbed by whatever Skeptic is putting out but that could be because I've had a hard time parsing some of the panels in the past year or so. .

Those people were shown to be sleeper agents all the way at the beginning of this arc just before the battle got started.

Uuuurgh. Like, I get what the manga is trying to do, the issue is that it is doing it pretty badly. About the only "twist" that did not elicit annoyed groan in me was the sleeper agent thing.

I don't really get how Dabi apparently has such a bad constitution that his flames destroy his body, but he also has a good enough constitution to do things like imitate Phosphor.

They're really going to have to reveal that AFO gave him a little extra something like Spinner, because it's loving nonsense.

It's possible that that's going to be how they reverse this by revealing that a) AfO is reversing himself out of existence and only has a short amount of time to operate at his 'peak' and that b) Dabi is going to burn himself to ash just to try and kill Shoto. La Brava hacking Sceptic is a good shout. I'd love it if Gentle shows up and stalls AfO out as well, just for the hilarity of him essentially getting beaten by the shittiest villain ever.

Bakugo gets saved by, I guess Overhaul?

He's been a fiery skeleton for the entire fight though. How much longer is this going to last? 5 Namekian minutes?

We're operating in final arc manga battle time, so it has probably been single digit minutes in time since he showed up, started melting, then got turned into a popsicle for a minute after punching Shoto twice. It's been a really short fight but we cut away to do the fight that should've been real actual lead-in to the climax for some reason

Pssh. Amateur. In Chainsaw Man

Denji ripped out his own heart nearly two years ago to win a fight. He then used Power's blood to circulate automatically to keep going until he could put his heart back.

Last time we saw Deku, he had ran into something while flying his way back to UA. Considering we didn't see what it was during this whole "everything is going to poo poo" montage, I have to assume it was help of some kind? Not sure who could show up at this point to turn things around though. The international heroes? Koichi? Would be funny if those villain sleeper agents just get knocked out by Knuckleduster and the Vigilante crew hanging with the civilians. Maybe Death Arms will be there too and be inspired to be a hero again.

The angle on everything there seems so confusing. It read at first glance he was like a ghost self in the sky, looking down on them. But that's obviously not the case (?).

I'm not sure there were any. I think those bunkers were supposed to take them to Shiketsu through underground tunnels, but it looks like Skeptic is bringing them back to the surface now.

Maybe we'll see Inasa, Camie, and... I don't know, loving Meatball again then. Because I assume Hori's not going to let Skeptic's thugs just start carving through civvies like foxes in the henhouse. That'd make for a super loving depressing ending if the good guys beat the bad guys but all their families are dead.

The scene changes to Hawks and Endeavor (who were fighting All For One) as a mysterious man who just so happens to have the same lettering and speech bubbles as All For One and Shigaraki, and also Hawks literally addresses him as All For One.

I wonder who this could be.

I've narrowed it down to Sarge or Rosemary the telephone operator.

Anyways I fully believe Shiragaki will overthrow AFO's control at the cost of his life thanks to Deku's speech, and then Shiragaki will develop a time travel quirk but be unable to use it because he's dying, so he'll teach it to Deku (who can learn it because he has OFA), and Deku will use the quirk to travel back in time and punch AFO and Shiragaki, undoing the deaths of Bakugo + all the other supporting cast and instantly defeating the main villains.

Please, this is all I have
Remembering when Bakugo was a tactical genius who had incredible awareness of his surroundings and in the last fight he just had guns that shot more explosions and now the two major villains and the main character all have a dozen different quirks each that are ill defined enough they could do absolutely anything and it's the least creative fighting in the series so far
