AFO is entirely confident in being able to beat the heroes in the current situation, and I think the last thing he'd want is a bunch of clones of himself and/or Shiggy that are just as strong, just more fragile. I don't think Toga's copy power gives her any of the personality of the person she's copying (quirk ghosts might change that) but the one thing all the villains have in common is they're mentally unhinged so it's just not a good idea to give them that much power unless they've been groomed for it/you are psychically controlling them to some extent, as he did/is with Shiggy.

Yup. The pacing is so completely hosed at this point. It feels like Hori slammed on the accelerator and we're along for the ride, but also we're wearing a blindfold and Hori is occasionally lifting it for a second at a time.

One foot flooring the accelerator, one hand yanking the e-brake

Alternatively, it's like Hori suddenly switched from Automatic to Manual without learning the difference

To me it's like hori had a manuscript for the whole final arc and tripped while taking it to the office and dropped it, then picked it up and it was completely hosed up and out of order and he decided "eh, gently caress it" and turned it in

Toga might not love AfO or Shiggy enough to use their quirks. Her "love" for Ochako was how she first unlocked the ability after all.

Hey Spinner's fight ended. That's gotta count for something, right?

Wonder if Toga and Dabi realize that Spinner is a mush brained corpse at this point?

Part of the issue with the pacing is the frequent breaks (which I don't at all begrudge), which makes it harder to remember what's going on.

Nope. Spinner's only been beat up a bit, and he wasn't even fought at full power by Present Mic. That means he's still involved in this, and will probably get used as a plot point death to piss off Shigaraki even more.

Maybe Ochako with a touch based quirk like Shigiraki will follow the same thought line and just send everyone to space by touching the ground.

No, we'll cut back to a fight that by all means should've been resolved between Spinner and the other two guys to pad this manga for no reason

It'll flow 'better' without the wait between chapters, but the constant hopping around is not helping for me personally because I forget details like "AFO's fight was taking place above a bunch of smaller fights".

Didn't one of the Star Wars movies have, like, 5 or 6 concurrent but completely separate climactic scenes? And none of them were good? Maybe this is another homage.

It's actually the anime adaptation I'm most curious about. The show's currently working overtime to get the previous most-chaotic-arc to fit a television format, and the finale arc will be an even harder task. They're absolutely going to have to rearrange some chapters and maybe the order of events themselves to avoid each episode having to intercut six different fights.

I hope they do something completely different and off the wall with it. Because I'm remembering season 1 and how terribly it was paced because there just weren't any natural stopping points.

He's a natural for Twice so they can CG in a million Chris Pratts.
