Onmi posted:I don't think it's literally a copy of Overhaul's quirk, but was a similar one in stock of "Destruction/regeneration." When he’s talking about the quirk, it shows a flashback to Overhaul in the orphanage. I think it’s pretty strongly implied.

I recall someone also mentioning there was a detail back in Overhaul's arc that had visual ties to AFO's orphanage.

I remember when people theorized that AFO is Deku's dad. It turns out he was Tomura's (in a manner of speaking) all along.

I mean, Aizawa did need his final hero moment but. Lol. EDIT 2: Dumbfuck prediction Shigaraki, when regaining control, will decide he doesn't want quirks anymore and give away all his quirks, including AfO's factors back to Deku. This way, the manga will get to have Deku's final sacrifice but also eat its cake too and have Deku stay the strongest hero. Hell, give Deku decay while you're there, why not.

This is all kinda dumb since while it was telegraphed he gave Tenko the decay power, him meddling to that extend is pretty absurd and removes a lot of the agency from the other characters. Of course that is probably the point so later Shigaraki can be another AFO victim and not responsible for his many ridiculous crimes. However I like Sero a bunch so having the C team of the class get to have a baller moment where they straight up attack the final boss without him seeing it coming because of his evil gloating and save the main character was pretty awesome.

the absolute losers of the class being the last resort reinforcements is a cool idea but this fights dragged on so long and hit the same beats over and over that it feels less like a cool moment and more like horikoshi desperately reaching for anyone to drag this out another chapter.

my theory: eri comes in through the gate too and uses her quirk to give deku his limbs back and then he bullshits out a win against afo and then ending

Honestly I would have been fine with this completely if AFO hadn't ALSO been out of jail and walking around and fighting for ninety chapters. Like imagine he'd died in prison or in the earlier All Might fight while laughing that it was part of his plan or something, and only now was this revealed. Frankly it makes sense, and even ties in overhaul's arc.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by AFO doing yet another rear end pull and coming back after being beaten for what must be the 10th time but it's severely disappointing.

We spent all that time debating if Shigaraki deserved to be saved, but I think the real question is if he would have been better off just dying in a fight instead of being put through all of this.

It's because wherever they're ending this season, they didn't have enough episodes to stretch it out to a full cour, so the season doesn't really begin until May, these are just recaps to catch people up on the story and to fill the timeslot until then.

Yeah, I’m kind of curious where even would be a good stopping point for this season (maybe after the Ochako/Toga fight or immediately after Bakugo reenters the fray) For that matter, where in the timeline are they even putting the upcoming movie?

I can't think of any other point that would work.

Rhonne posted:At this point All For One deserves to win, he clearly wants it more. Basically this. All the previous OfA holders got devoured by Shiggy because his ego was so powerful and his rage was so pure... then 2 chapters later AfO shows up again and casually mindjacks Shiggy. You can say that this was a deliberate weakness that AFO engineered and that it needed Deku to destabilise Shiggy to trigger it, but still the whole sequence makes the heroes look like chumps. I doubt MHA will go for a downer ending, so I very much expect that Shiggy will reassert himself as the dominant personality (maybe Toga and Spinner will convince him he’s got a wonderful life of quirk Supermax ahead of him) but still this looks like a colossal fuckup from team hero.

the giving him the quirk thing is nice and well telegraphed, but just this context really looks like he either also went and put abusive brain waves into his dad or was just "oh man, sure hope that works out lol" this leading into another round against AFO is the dumbest, tho. Sure, it's cool that the side cast will get to land hits at the end, but my understanding is that the whole last year was that lmao

I do enjoy OFA saying "Now begins the terribly empty and pointless final goal, world domination." Even he seems kind of bored by all this, like he's not even looking forward to winning.

I saw a theory on another website that sounds like a plausible way to redeem Shigaraki without all of the messy "Now he has to go to prison forever" stuff: his body dies, but he gets to live as a Vestige inside of Deku.

Well One For All has seemingly been lost and All For One can't sense his brother anymore, so he's technically failed at his main goal. All that's left is to make the rest of the world pay.

It's kind of funny how little effort it would take to do these same twists but make it work better. Have AFO have nothing to do with Kotaro- just frame it as AFO finding out one of his shell companies employs Nana's kid and him thinking it'd be loving hilarious to get a successor out of him. He thinks about doing his plan with the girl, but decides against it when Kotaro mentions he has another kid on the way. He steals Tenko's quirk, gives him decay, and just lets nature do its work. Have AFO sell it as "Hey, I know hero society is a hosed up wreck underneath. I didn't have to do anything but give you a dangerous quirk. I knew your dad was bitter about his mom, all kids want to be heroes because of hero society, the arguments would always start around when you started to get your quirk, I knew Decay would probably manifest with you killing someone in your family, and I know society is rotten and wouldn't help you. I just set the pins up, but your beliefs about what knocked them all down was correct." Reemphasize that AFO had a lot of irons in the fire as far as manufacturing someone hosed up enough to be his successor, but Tenko worked out beautifully.

Theory for upcoming story beats that I’m spoilering since it involves this recent chapter: I feel like since we’re clearly in the dumbest timeline the next story beat is going to be AfO realizing that he also stole Deku’s quirk as a baby, which will cause Shigaraki to start fighting for control again. Since we’ve seen that vestiges or ghosts are related to quirks, Shiggy is able to somehow force AfO to give back Deku’s original quirk which will be a force field, which hasn’t appeared in the series yet and is a hard counter to Shigaraki’s decay.
