Deku activates his final, completed form of OFA, but AFO manipulates the future to make it so that Deku never completed OFA.

Luckily, it turns out that Deku was never actually quirkless, and that he had a hidden quirk that only activates when his quark is deactivated, by by temporarily taking away OFA, OFA has actually awoken Deku's quirk.

Deku beats AFO in a single panel after awakening his true quirk.

Manga over.

But then AFO reveals his new power to prevent the manga from ending or himself from being defeated that derives from his refusal to read to the end of the story, and the fight keeps going.

I was actually trying to make a Bleach reference but realized MHA didn't have Tsukishima or a Tsukishima-equivalent so I had to change the ending.

Just remembered that with Spinner's back story being cut from the anime that the movies cover the anti mutie racism more than the anime proper

The chimera guy from Two Heroes became a villain because of discrimination, and even calls Shouji out I think.

Then Shoto unceremoniously murders him

The way to remember is that they stupidly have their titles switched. Two Heroes is about the heroes fighting their way up a skyscraper while Heroes Rising is about two heroes fighting together against Shigaraki-lite.


Also this whole arc hasn't been half as long yet as the loving Obito fight. That dick took a good 70 chapters to die.

It was at least 100. From whenever he ran into Naruto with the Edo Tensei Jinchuriki in 500-something, to when his ghost left in 692 after Kamui-ing out of the afterlife to give Kakashi Double Mangekyo and a Perfect Susanoo.

I could just cut to the quick and say that the Madara copypasta's only inaccuracy is that we don't know if he actually has Amaterasu or Tsukuyomi. For as bullshit as Kishimoto made him, he still had permissable room to make him EVEN MORE bullshit.

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


Are the Twice clones actually clones of Toga transformed into Twice, rather than clones of Twice himself? Like, when the blood transformation runs out, do any surviving clones just turn back into Togas?

Also kinda looks like Gang Orca and some background heroes managed to pin down the Nomu, so I guess those guys are just off the board for now, unless they also got teleported?

I don't think the heroes actually knew Toga had Twice's blood -- Hawks expresses surprise that she has it, and Froppy assumes it's AFO/Shigaraki's blood -- it's just that Toga is so suspicious and fearful right now that she assumes that they knew.

Delphisage posted:

It looks like they expected the large Nomu to have super regeneration, so Gang Orca was ripping it apart to try to prevent the regeneration from working. But it turns out the large Nomu was able to autonomously control its parts (like the lizard girl from 1-B?), and when Froppy broke Toga's first vial, she got marked with the scent that attracts the Nomu parts which immediately attacked her.

Actually an interesting question. Like, Twice's powers were to make copies that were either Twice's impression of them or just exact copies of when Twice last knew or measured them. Does that also apply to when he duplicates himself? And that goes even harder for when Toga's replicating the quirk. Are they self-impressions of Toga as Twice, are they all Toga's impressions of Twice, are they all exact duplicates of Twice, or are they impressions of impressions? We really should have this addressed, it's extremely confusing and has the potential to go in any kind of story direction, and probably put it to bed whether quirks are biological magic or spiritual magic.

Though we know the Twice clones do have a time limit of lasting that isn't just based on damage, given how the Redestro clone that destroyed the HPSC didn't dissolve until it's been a while after Twice himself was dead, and probably not even through any significant damage it took, so that implies they work on their own timer rather than Toga's.

Any clones of twice created by Toga while transformed are in fact, Twice and not duplicates of transformed Toga. Twice's clones are based on a mental image. So even after Toga's time runs out and she transforms back, Twice can continue to replicate himself until all the clones are destroyed.

I know this is still selling well in Japan but its really interesting to see how much interest has dropped off outside.

A new chapter a year ago would have got 50+ posts in this forum in a day, never mind on reddit etc. The only time it breaks 50 in a week is if we're talking about Naruto instead.

It's selling well in the US, too. Not Chainsaw Man well, but it tends to top the charts the month it comes out, and often by a healthy margin.

Might be delayed impact, or it might be that most fans just don't care as much about those things as the fans who care enough to post on forums.
