My Hero Academia - Manga Spoiler thread (Untagged spoilers)

The final blow will be Deku using his pinky toe to use Air Force when he's thought to be dead to rights, capitalizing on the "having an extra toe bone" factoid.

"RHODE ISLAND SMASH!"

And "Rhode Island" due to being the smallest state in the USA.

Kek, so much for Shiggy getting redeemed.

It's not over yet, man, just wait and see.

Or maybe he's not redeemed but willingly turns himself if there's nothing left in his world.

Shiggy still has spinner. They can still play Lo L together.

Assuming Spinner's brain haven't been fried (thanks to AFO) to vegetable-level yet.

And how would that prevent him from playing LoL ?

So he can still play League of legends then.

'd lol

Can't wait for AFO's Lo L account reveal.

Account? He was secretly the lead of the development team, of course!

Okay, so AFO is behind everything. Literally, from start to finish, Nana's plan never mattered, because AFO is galaxy-brained. And, of course, we connect Chisaki to it too, why not? (although that was first noticeable in Dabi's backstory; the place did look similar) And not only was Decay given to Tenko, his original Quirk was also stolen. And now Shiggy is gone (I doubt he's gone, but AFO seems to think so), and AFO shrugs and goes "welp, world domination".

And Sero comes in, together with Ojiro and Sato and even Aizawa (I'm assuming the next chapter will move to the Gashly "fight" and the Kurogiri thing). And AFO goes "damn, they are so weak I didn't see them coming at all", like he hadn't deleted half of Japan several chapters back in his original body like it was nothing. And, last time I remember Aizawa being in such a fight, Hands for One decided "rules for thee, not for me", and just evolutioned all over the place. If he's going to be inconvenienced by them for longer than a minute, that's already inconceivable.

Also, Midoriya finally took meaningful damage to his limbs! The kind that completely checks him out of a fight short of an Eri miracle, which we've established is not happening (it will happen).

...so yeah.

But at least we know En's full name now.

So basically, AFO (the Copy) didn't even need to reach Tenko in order to set off the trump card. It was just a formality for it then?

Even so, I can still see Tenko be saved.

If that body still have the original quirk, then there should still be a Tenko-vestige in it somewhere.

Which ironic because it means things did go according to AFO's plan all along... but the original AFO ended up dying thinking his plans was completely undone and ruined, underscoring how he really didn't have faith in himself all along. Like, he could have just died happy and content knowing his vestige survived and took over (and not actually live to see that vestige inevitably be defeated)... but his paranoia was great that he died full of fear and whininess.

From what I understand, Deku interacting with Shiggy accidentally caused the thing AFO was trying to initiate.

And that is why the "I can fix him" meme does more harm than good.

Well, I guess real AFO couldn't even imagine that Deku would actually try to save Tenko, much less kinda succeed... so from his point of view, his vestige would be forever suppressed by Shigaraki's hatred.

Anyway, Horikoshi keeps giving me one thing I hate and one I love each chapter. AFO manipulating even the freaking children was honestly pretty ridiculous, and not in a good way. At least we avoided the worst case scenario of him manipulating Kotaro into being an asshole... he "just" pushed young Tenko towards heroism so that he would trigger his father even harder. Still, this whole thing is pretty meh.

On the other hand, Deku breaking down (pretty literally!) and needing help from his classmates was something I hoped would happen. His heroism isn't about solving everything by himself like Allmight, it's about pushing others to take action.

Now we'll see what happens when Shigaraki inevitably regains control. I like how his And I Must Scream current situation is represented in the dialog baloons.

So, what do you think could be Shiggy's final fate?

Last chapter it was estabilished that his true, deepest desire is still to be a hero. Also, AFO should still have Tenko's original Quirk inside. I think these two factor will come into play.

Then we could either have Shigaraki Dying As Himself as he keeps AFO immobilized for the heroes' final blow, or he could regain control and have a last 1vs1 with a rewinded Midoriya, this time fully admitting that he's fighting for his friends and not because of irrational hatred. Or maybe he could see the villains have alredy been defeated and just give up... there's a lot of options.

One thing for certain, that body and the original AFO needs to go. They are too powerful for the setting at this point to be contained.

I think that Izuku has to get in one last time into the vestige-world, get Tenko who is being shielded by Nana, who gets spotted by AFO that tries to decay them all away in one fell swoop.

And in the end, Tenko gets to live as an Vestige, inside of Izuku's mental world due to OFA's original function being used one last time (by Nana's insistence) to get him and Izuku out before AFO self-destructs alongside with the Body.

End result: Izuku gets a quirk. Tenko gets to live. And both get to become "the Hero for the Villains" as common ground.

Just letting everyone know, I made a page for the new movie.

Chapter 420: From Aizawa-kun

The chapter begins with Aizawa, Mic and Kurogiri on a tiny island. Mic is holding Kurogiri by the shirt and telling him to wake up already. He says that Shirakumo's corpse shouldn't have been violated like that and is about to punch Kurogiri while his eyes get teary

Aizawa points out that he's crying and Mic says he doesn't cry, since he's a man. But Aizawa says he was talking about Kurogiri. Mic tells him that's impossible, since he's a Noumu. It must just be the raindrops

Mic says that Aizawa shouldn't expect another miracle like the one that happened at Tartarus. They're 31 years old, no longer 2nd years at U.A. But Aizawa says that Shirakumo died while he was a student. Besides, there must be a reason why he saved them both from dyingAizawa says that they managed to generate a white spark that mixed with the darkness. It will never be 100% white again, but it's not 100% black either. And now, as U.A. teachers, they need to guide the student until they graduate — as long as they remember their origin

The mist increases in size and Kurogiri says "Yamada...". Mic starts to cry even more and says that memories never die. Cut to Tsukauchi in the control room and Aizawa asks him (through the comms) if Monoma can still fight

Tsukauchi says he can't, because he hit his head and is unconscious. Aizawa then asks how many people can still fight on each battlefield. Cuts to Aizawa arriving at the underground shelter and telling Ectoplasm that they're now able to use Kurogiri's portals

He says he doesn't know how long Kurogiri will work, so he needs to gather as many heroes as possible in the shortest possible time. Death Arms volunteers to go fight and so does another hero. It's none other than Astro, from Barrage!!! (Horikoshi's previous manga)

The civilian who didn't want to let Deku into UA takes off his shirt and gives it to Aizawa, asking him to use it to treat some hero's wound. Several other civilians do the same and Aizawa thanks them. Tsukauchi says that the Takoba battle still isn't over

Cut to Takoba and we see Gashly fighting Sero, Sato, 13 and other heroes. All seems lost, but suddenly Tokage, Kamakiri, Ectoplasm and other heroes arrive through the portals. "Phase 3 of the Divide and Conquer operation: start", says Aizawa

Cut to the present and Aizawa asks how long it's been since Deku lost his arms. Deku says he doesn't really know, since it all happened in the mental world. Deku says that in UA he could feel Shigaraki rebelling inside AFO, but not anymore. What's going on?

We see a flashback of Eri giving her horn to Aizawa. She knows she can't go to the battlefield, so she wants at least her horn get there. He asks how she did that and Eri replies that Ectoplasm helped her cut it. Ectoplasm apologizes, but says that Eri learned from Aizawa

She's rational like Aizawa, but she also does crazy things from time to time. Aizawa says that this can permanently damage her quirk and Eri says that she wanted to do this to helps All Might and "Kacchan-san" too, but she couldn't. So now she wants to help

Eri says her dream is to sing like Jirou, and she wants Deku and everyone else to have fun when the war is over. Cut to the present and Aizawa pierces Deku with Eri's horn. Ectoplasm says that she didn't have much energy, so it should take 2-3 minutes for him to heal

Aizawa says that Deku can't die until he hears Eri singing. The chapter ends with Mineta, Kaminari, Shoji, Momo, Kouda and other heroes coming out of the portals. They say they're exhausted, but the fact that Midoriya is doing his best makes their bodies move on their own

break next week

chapter theme lol

Huh. Well, that answers the question of if Eri will heal him, but also how they'll keep her from being a Reset Button, I guess.

Also, this girl maimed herself, possibly permanently. Shit.
