Honestly, I am beginning to like the traitor subplot a bit. Like yeah, the buildup for it and the development of Aoyama sucked (or better said, neither of those things happened at all), but the manga is handling the fallout, both on the emotional side and on the plot side about as good as it could. Also Shinso joining in might be fan-service, but I still like that there seems some role planned for him in the final battle.

Shinso will trick One For All into answering him by going up to him and asking "BOfA?"

I don't know if it's phrased the same in the original Japanese but there's a line in the dub (when they're picking names I think) where Sugarman accuses him of not even being French. I always got a kick out of that.

His strength has no upper limit but at a certain point leaves him completely (temporarily!) brain dead, so Sero and Dark Shadow have to physically work him like a puppet to make him do the actual punching.

There. Teamwork.

Holy poo poo, is that the return of the slime villain from the very beginning of the manga?

And hooray, Toga's back! That's not a lot of Twice's blood but it's certainly enough to cause a problem.

To be fair, Gaston doesn't have many redeeming qualities either and the Beast has apparently been living without parents since he was a tween.

Vigilantes: I really hope this series doesn’t end with Koichi dying because this chapter seems to be throwing up some major flags, and if so then at the very least I hope Pop makes it out ok.

Yes, it's very strange indeed that we're expected to hate Gaston simply because he... *checks notes* says that women shouldn't read because it gives them ideas and states on numerous occasions that he will have Belle regardless of the fact that she's explicitly rejected him in no uncertain terms.

I mean, we all thought Captain Celebrity was going to die when he was drowning in death flags, I'm sure Koichi will make it out of this too...right? :ohdear:

Koichi gets the Yin-Yang talisman and separates himself into into two people. The Quirk half goes into a reckless rampage that ends up getting a building dropped on top of him and he dies in the process.

Same. I'm confident that the writer is good enough that it won't go this way, but I've been very wrong about poo poo before. I would almost prefer that he die rather than having his quirk stolen, even though I really don't want that either.

AfO doesn't really seem like the kind of guy who would see a quirk, say "Wow, it sure takes a lot of work to use that quirk well!" and then steal it. It seems like he prefers simple, easy to implement quirks.

Never quacked for this
Vigilantes: Dude's "at the top of his game, somehow", having flashbacks, hallucinating(?) his dead/dying friends and that remark about drawing power from somewhere could easily be interpreted as him burning his remaining life here. He's got as many death flags as All Might had back then.
The only reason I think it might not happen is that Pop would be sad once she wakes up.

From memory he actually does show a lot of interest in Best Jeanist Quirk, specifically calls out how much time and effort mastering it would take; and how he’d love to steal it. But that it would be a poor fit for Shigaraki so he’s not going to do that.

Vig: With that logic in mind, Koichi's quirk would be completely useless to a guy whose quirk was touch based until incredibly recently. Or it's why Shigaraki can now does his poo poo at a distance.
