When you're not on-screen you can do anything! 'Hi guys it's me Hatsune Mei! Look at this Robo All Might I made! Also Momo can make Mythril now'

The only way to make this interesting is if he is doing something absolutely insane like he rewinds himself to a baby because what kind of hero would kill a baby. As is it's just a fancy senzu bean in a fight that didn't need to happen thats already going on too long. ZenMasterBullshit fucked around with this message at 13:54 on Jun 27, 2022 |

352: Shoto vs. Toya concludes. 353: We get somewhat of a breather chapter. News of Dabi's defeat spreads across Japan. We get a preview of the various duels in the pipeline. Dabi's body begins ticking. AFO taunts Endeavor. 354: Hawks & Endeavor battle AFO. AFO shocks Endeavor by revealing that he took in Toya, then critically wounds him. Jiro & Tokoyami show up and deflect what would've been a killing blow on Hawks. 355: Endeavor reels on the ground. AFO's quirk ghosts begin revolting. Jiro, Tokoyami, and Hawks crack AFO's mask with a combo attack. 356: Tokoyami shatters AFO's mask with Ragnarok. AFO regains control, reassembles his mask, and rips off Endeavor's arm. Endeavor KOs AFO into the ground via Fire Punch. 357: Endeavor grabs AFO and drags him through the forest, before incinerating him with Prominence Burn. While dying, AFO threatens a "sacrificial moment". I don't think this fight could've been paced any faster, really. 4 (and a half, if you count 353) chapters for one of the major antagonists seems about right.

Scholtz posted:Do we know Eraserhead wasn't there though? He was in the room when Mirio asked. Eri looks at him and he nods. He was absolutely in on it. But more to the point, All for One doesn't "train" quirks so even if Eri figured out how to control it, I doubt he could.

I think it's cool endeavour might just straight up kill afo here. Like I know hawks did it to twice but it's rare to see in a superhero comic

Shere posted:He was in the room when Mirio asked. Eri looks at him and he nods. He was absolutely in on it. I'm pretty sure AFO trains quirks, or at least puts a lot of thought into their strengths and weaknesses and thinking of how they can be used, which is similar. We had his whole internal monologue in the Stars and Stripes fight where he was puzzling out the limitations of her quirk and how to get around it; there's no reason why he wouldn't try doing the same with Rewind. His comment on Jeanist's quirk was that the quirk was too complicated for how impatient Shigaraki was, not himself.

It's great because as soon as Shigaraki got All For One, he instantly intuited how all his quirks work and even started combining them in novel ways. What a lovely teacher who doesn't believe in his student.

In AFO's defense here, Shigaraki at the time of Kamino really was an angry manchild with no patience who regularly threw baby tantrums if things didn't go exactly the way he wanted. He only stopped being that way once everything fell apart.

Also, let's not forget the iconic scene of Shigaraki completely whiffing his first super jump and faceplanting into the dirt. So he's not completely perfect at using them. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if he tried to use Jeanists quirk in the final battle and accidentally ripped his own pants off. I understand AfO not wanting to risk it.

You know what this scene reminds me of? It reminds me of a scene where you have two actors, and one of them is phoning it in, and the other one is trying really hard. Bakugo is actually trying to have a fulfilling moment here while Shigaraki is babbling like a discount JRPG villain.

I really don't give a poo poo about All for One or Shigaraki anymore, but this chapter at least had some good stuff in it.

The exasperated "how is that not a quirk?!" captures the calvinball nature of the fight, where Shigaraki can just waggle his (endless) fingers and say "it's just not". Real "well I have a laser-proof forcefield!" energy from the kid on the playground who never admits defeat.

oh yeah speaking of those they contrived this whole arena to take decay off the board and give minor characters a chance against shiggy until deku shows up, and immediately shiggy goes "LOL, i have a massive AOE non-quirk anyways" and now none of the decay countermeasures we spent a whole chapter detailling matter because shiggy's just flying around throwing hands at people

Decay is still an issue because if Monoma/Aizawa get messed up at all, all of those hands can presumably turn everything they're touching to dust.

I'm mainly wondering what the point of showing us all the support work was if it was gonna immediately not matter. Like why not skip right to the aizawa thing.

How does Shigaraki's body work now anyways? Does he weigh thousands of pounds with millions of hands just condensed inside him at all times?

It's not entirely clear to me why he isn't just shooting a giant wall of absolutely-definitely-not-a-quirk fingers at Monoma/Aizawa. All of the other heroes are extremely occupied trying not to die, and it's not like he even needs to actually kill Monoma/Aizawa, he just needs to disrupt them to instantly win.

Literally only needs to make Monoma blink once. Or smash the floor to throw up enough dust to block his vision.

Monoma and Aizawa are not actually there, also the Fingers are part of his body so if they are being looked at it turns off his quirk.

MonsterEnvy posted:Monoma and Aizawa are not actually there, also the Fingers are part of his body so if they are being looked at it turns off his quirk. How is that possible? Aizawa's quirk requires direct line of sight, and the battle is taking place in a floating thunderdome arena far above the ground. Monoma and Aizawa have to be physically present in said arena to see and thus dequirk Shigaraki. If they're close enough to de-quirk the fingers, they're close enough for Shigaraki to attack them.
