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


If you were mapping out the finale ahead of time, I'd definitely be tempted to use what happened in this chapter as the template - have Allmight in his big robot suit gunning for AFO from the start and interlace all of the class A supporting cast students' individual battles with his use of their quirk-inspired gadgets.

You've still got the big names like Todoroki getting their own separate stories and fight, but it could provide more scaffolding for the parts of the finale so far that've felt like random lurches across the battlefield. It definitely strengthens Allmight's arc as we see here to make the metaphor that his strength comes from what he passes on to the next generation.

All Might defeats AfO, and then Deku is defeated by Shigaraki. All Might then shows up and defeats Shigaraki as well.

Sleep, rest, do your best.
The Lich and Sweet Pea is a far better villain and patsy dynamic than AfO and Shigaraki.

But that’s not really fair because the Lich in Adventure Time is a top ten villain for me.

Speaking if more compelling villains than AfO and Shigaraki: I’m pretty sure this series peaked with Deku vs Gentle Criminal, but this current fight is giving it a run for its money.

If Deku's Ultamate AFO Smashball Attack isn't called Manifest Destiny then the whole series goes in the trash.

He also needs a sonicball (Philadelphia Roll)

I'd ask why they can't just give Hagakure clothes, because god knows every other media with invisible people have come up with some way to make invisible clothes, but I suppose this is still the manga with Mineta in it.

We also had a shapeshifter who had to be naked as well. She was given the technology to suck up blood easily, and she had an evil genius who can imbue people with quirks and can create artificial life but no suit to help with that shapeshifting.

It's super uncomfortable that Mirio's quirk had the exact same issue but they came up with a way for him to have functional clothing but nope Hagakure has to be rear end naked.

Not that it helps, but Mirio's suit supposedly took a while to develop and make, since it required a lot of his hair for the fibres that phase with him. He also definitely didn't have it during his year 2 sports event because Izuku remembers seeing his clothes fall off during it (and I think they outright say that Mirio only became actually good with his quirk/fighting in year 3).

Obviously this means that we already know how to make Hagakure clothing, just gather enough of her hair that she can have clothes that are invisible. Sadly I don't think Momo can make hair?

It’s a fictional story so they can just make up any excuse they want as to how Hagakure has clothes

Instead they just really wanted to draw a naked teenage girl

There was a time when they were running both the MHA collab and a DBZ one at the same time and had both the Deku Smash and Kamehameha weapons in the game at the same time. It was wild.

One of the funniest quirks of modern gaming is that the entire original concept of the game was kind of a failure and the battle royale mode they added as a fun side mode took over the game entirely and turned it into a juggernaut.
