It kind of sounds like we're being set up to see another hero (or multiple?) from America arrive, explicitly against the American government's wishes.

I really hope this isn't an excuse to have The Hauler show up and get his Quirk stolen or something.

I'd say killed, but lmao considering Shigaraki somehow failed to kill Gran Torino and AFO hasn't managed to take out anyone.

I'm bummed that we're either not gonna see that fight between Toga and Tsuyu/Ochako or it's going to be in a flashback.

I do think it's kind of funny that Twice went from being afraid he was just a clone at the beginning of the series, dying knowing he was real, to coming back from the dead as a clone army here.

Unless there’s some really hard limit or justification imposed there’s basically no reason the manga shouldn’t simply end with a fully powered Twice coming back lol

Weathergirl is right, and All For One destroys the planet in a firestorm. The only inhabitants left are 8th generation Twice clones.

Weathgirl is cool and I'm a fan. :colbert:

Kurogiri shuffling the fights again is big whatever, it's not like the heroes were dominating their battles. Twice being back is not a super big surprise since Toga had the ability to do it the whole time, but also it just make heroes slightly more hosed so once again him coming out know is also pretty whatever.

In general I feel that this arc really screws up the tension. Heroes are facing against overwhelming odds and all their efforts are countered by villains, but villains are also oddly toothless and most of their efforts result only in further increasing the already overwhelming odds the heroes are facing, without actually inflicting significant loses to heroes. Bakugo dying, as dumb and half-baked as it was, would be at least something.

Unless it's actually just Skycrawler and he one shots Shirageki and then knuckleduster rolls up and just puts a bullet in AFO when he's not looking I'm not sure what this can do to make this better.

Skycrawler just pushing Allforgekione into space like he's Kars.

Even worse: he died not that long after he gained internal peace over learning he wasn't a clone just to come back as one.

Unironically Crawler would be the best person to beat All For One now. He's only going to be alive for a short amount of time because Rewind is going out of control, and no one is better at wasting a villains time that Koichi.

The final fight with #6 had actual pacing and earned escalation that lead to genuinely good character moments from almost the entire cast and actually shows all the people Koichi's working to save AND has the heroes be actually competent at what they do


What I'm saying is it's an infinite amount better than whatever this last year of MHA main comic has been, especially these final fights.

Outside of Deku none of the heroes seem to be in great spots either, and were already disadvantaged.

I wonder if these fights would be better if they were better paced. every chapter it feels like the tables have turned 100% before they turn another 100% and we’re right back where he started. Someone reveals
a climactic new power nearly every chapter. there’s like no rhythm to anything.

Seven idiots and a bear walk into a dragon's lair.

Dabi got teleported to the same place the Twice clones are going so obviously that means that Dabi is about to accidentally destroy all the Twice clones with his big fire attacks because he's a loving idiot.

I'd be enjoying this much more if I had something to latch onto here. We keep cutting away from the fights before they end so it feels like we've been running in place, nothing changing, nothing learned, for the last several months

Sleep, rest, do your best.
If the villains end up hindering each other because they're not actually unified by much other than nebulous ideas of revenge and that is the key to their defeat it would actually be pretty good.

I've read this chapter three times and I still don't understand if Toga's just used her power to turn into Twice or not. Either way, the three most popular girls in the manga just had a brawl off panel and I really feel like I'm reliving Bleach's final arc all over again
