#mha chapter 270

[thequietmanno1]

Thelreads, MHA 270, Replies Part 2

1) “We- We`re inside Shigaraki`s mind or something? It must be, since he`s there and there`s a, quite frankly, concerning number of disembodied hands floating around.

we`re about to go down a fucking weird trip, aren`t we?”- We’re going on an inception trip into shiggy-boy’s braincase….in fact, we’re not even the first ones taking up residence inside his cracked mindspace…

2) “Fuck if I know Shigaraki, you have quite the interesting imagination, I wish my dreams were half that abstract. Then again, I was never comatose, as far as I know.”- And as a side-effect of his awakened/ascended mentality, Tomura’s ‘ethereal’ white hair has become almost negative space around his head, almost looking like Horikoshi simply didn’t draw the pages around him. 3) “OH OKAY FUCK FUCK FUCK I KNEW THINGS WERE GOING TO GET WEIRD

WE`RE GONNA DEAL WITH A BIT OF THAT LINGERING TRAUMA FROM THE PAST, AREN`T WE?

I AM NOT READY FOR IT

NOT AT ALL”- Hard to call it ‘lingering’ when AFO actively cultivated Tomura’s mentality to keep it first and foremost inside his emotional core, always pushing him forwards even when he’d repressed the hell out of it. His mind is nothing but trauma, and he’s only now recently started to mature enough to start owing that damage as being what he thinks of himself as. He sees himself through the broken mirror of his mind, each piece a cracked reflection of the boy he started as and what he could have been. 4) “OH IT`S STILL HER, AND SHE`S REMINDING US AND SHIGARAKI OF THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT”- If this broken landscape is what makes up his mind, then tragically, the pieces of it that allow him to hold his ‘self’ together and avoid floating away in the chaos are the very ones that relate to his childhood trauma- the thing that breaks him inside paradoxically holds him together even beyond what other people could endure. 5) “I wonder, do Shigaraki even remembered that she apologized for what she had done? He wasn`t paying much attention at the time, but did he ever recalled that she regretted making him suffer like that?”- Being that this seems to almost be like Shigaraki’s memories of his family overlapping with that night and what he’d think they would say to him now, it sorta implies that he does remember – like, this whole sequence is a little unclear if it’s all in his head, or if him being technically dead means that he’s communing with his family’s lingering ghosts, or if he’s using the memories of his family to talk to himself through their images, putting the words in their mouths to converse with himself as he processes his current situation. Nana herself seems to be the anomaly here, but that itself might also be because of her lingering vestige preserved within OFA…which itself has some undefined link to AFO, as shown by him likewise sensing the changes to the twin Quirk within Tartarus when the additional Quirks started awakening. 6) “AGAIN, DID SHIGARAKI EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HIS DREAM SINCE THEN? EVEN IF ONLY TO SAY “FUCK THAT, HEROES SUCK”?”- I think he’s thought about it by not thinking about it – like the answer is one he already known deep down on an emotional, instinctual level, but it’s all wrapped up underneath the layers of trauma and pain involved with that night, and he finds it easier to think about the hurt that motivates him more than the uncomfortable answer lurking underneath all that sorrow and lashing out. Eventually, he will have to give a voice to that answer, but at present, his current situation means he can focus on attacking the heroes rather than wasting time navel-gazing and considering whether it’s even a possibility to turn back anymore. 7) “SOMETHING TELLS ME HE DIDN`T, CONSIDERING HIS EXPRESSION TOWARDS THE GIANT IMAGINARY MILF. OH GOD, EITHER THIS WHOLE SHIT IS GOING TO GO REALLY BAD, OR IT WILL GO REALLY, REALLY BAD”-Considering that the ‘itchiness’ is tied thematically to Tomura’s apparent longing to ‘destroy’ things, she’s as good as telling him that his revenge on the world that denied him will only lead to him wanting to destroy more and more until he has nothing left, but AFO has groomed Tomura so thoroughly that he’s convinced himself that existing in this miserable situation of his own violation is what makes him ‘him’ now, like he’s felt this pain for so long, it’s warped around to being comforting. Like Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, Tomura has immersed himself in the role of the villain, even if it’s in opposition to his childhood dream, because he feels like he has nothing else left outside of it, and can only make the best of his situation by embracing the perks it provides him, even if he’s unsatisfied with it all at his core.

8) “FUCK FUCK FUCK IT`S BABYGARAKI AGAIN

OH GOD OH FUCK THIS IS REALLY SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL”-He says he’s ok, but only because he’s gotten so used to the misery of his current existence that he can’t imagine a life where he’s not the villain anymore, where he’s not the outsider rejected by society who can only destroy. His body reverts back to the child he was when he first found the photograph, showing that the desire to be a hero is still deeply wrapped up in his core identity, even if he’s convinced himself it’s impossible, and his eyes aren’t quite focused and full of emotions like they were when he was idolising nana’s image. He claims he’s fine, but it’s clearly deflection on how he really feels- and given this may be part of his own mind speaking to him through his memories, it could also be seen as him burying the last shreds of his conscience before he awakens to bring misery to all, reaffirming that this is what he wants to himself.

9) “OH OKAY IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE REACHED A CONCLUSION TO THIS WHOLE SPIRITUAL TRIP TO THE PAST, AND THE RESULTS ARE IN:

EVERYBODY RUN THE FUCK AWAY, SHIT`S GONNA OBLITERATE THE FAN”- As he affirms that he’s fine with being the destructive villain, the memory of his father attacking him surfaces- the first time he used his power maliciously, and thus the first time he experienced the pleasant joy and satisfaction that came with using his powers to hurt those who oppressed him, essentially the part of his mind that  revels in the joy of being a villain reminding him of the origin of that desire.

10) “WELP, THE TRAUMA PUT HIM ON THIS TRIAL, AND SHIGARAKI DECIDED ON HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. THE ONLY WAY HE EVER KNEW OF DEALING WITH IT”- It’s tragic, but Tenko’s confidence and fearlessness in facing what would normally be a traumatic memory that repressed him and destroying it with his own willpower and the strength he now possesses is somewhat inspiring as well. You can’t help but wonder how he’d have turned out if he was given some positive learning experiences instead of a troubled upbringing before he massacred his family.

11) “OH, NOW IT`S YOU. RIGHT. YEAH IF WE`RE TALKING ABOUT TRAUMA OF COURSE YOU WOULD SHOW UP IN HIS HEAD. THE FUCK YOU`RE GONNA SHOW HIM AS WELL?”-Well, he did help plant the bad thoughts of Tomura being an inherently destructive monster in his head in the first place- it gave him an easy way in in more ways than one… 12) “WAIT WAIT THEFUVKX THAT IS NOT AN HALLUCINATIOLN

THAT IS NOT

FUCK

THAT`S THE REAL ONME ISN`T IT

OH GOD WHAT THWE FUCK

HE`S TALKING TO HIM

AND HE`S TELLING HIM TO COME TAKE HIM OUT OF HIS CELL”- Not quite- the devil can’t take your soul entirely unless you willingly sign the contract of your own free will…. (MHA ch 246)

13) “Now, the doctor just wants some clarification before he gets started, and I’m wondering how many quirks he’s gonna shove inside his twink frame. He still needs to leave some room for the cherry on top of the cake, the quirk of All for One, that one is still behind bars, but soon he’ll be back…

Soon™”- Or he’s prepping him for All For one’s quirk all along, because it’s better long term for him to just finalise his body right from the start and have the ability to stockpile unlimited power already in him, rather than building up to it gradually by adapting his vessel pieces by piece to handle multiple quirks. All For One does seem to have some kind of innate resistance against the natural devastation that would result from containing multiple quirks at once, a trait shared with its twin, much to Deku’s benefit, so rather than toughen Tomura’s body up by adding increasing numbers of quirks into his modified frame one by one, it’s easier for Ujiko to just prep him to handle the entirely of All For One all at once and let the quirk’s natural abilities handle the blowback of gaining so much power in one go. Granted, the process isn’t pretty by a long shot, but Tomura’s made it quite clear he doesn’t give a damn about winning any beauty competitions, which is good, because he was looking worse off than even Dabi on that operating table. @thelreads

So, BNHA & JJK have ended! Can I ask you, your final score for both series? For me BNHA is B and JJK is B- (sorry, I don't think both endings are that bad, yes not satisfying, but there are many good points in both series, too)... My top 3 from each series are : Izuku, Katsuki & Ochaco and Yuuji, Sukuna, & Gojo.

I have talked about my thoughts on the ending of mha and jjk together in a previous ask but I haven't ranked them.

Honestly I suck at ranking things but I would give jjk's ending a 4.5/10, sukuna's ending and the gojo flashback were phenomenal and its probably the only reason why I ranked jjk this high especially since the last chapter doesn't give us much of a conclusion for a lot of things like the mysterious kenjaku panel we saw in chapter 270 among a lot of other things.

Mha on the other hand will get a 4.4/10 ending because while it managed to at least wrap up its points a lot of the series messaging and the characters fates wasn't great. I did like toga and ochako's ending so I will give them that but the todoroki family plot line was atrocious.

Since both of these series ended I will give my top three based on the series current writing.

MHA : Mei hatsume, toga himiko and Tenya iida

JJK : Geto suguru, Gojo satrou and Maki zenin

Jujutu Kaisen Chapter 270 - A dream's end

We continue dreading near the end of jujutsu kaisen today.

I'm intrigued where this is going, it seems like the end will be weird. Like with MHA i'm expecting everyone to complain or say it's the worst ending as always.

I remember that from Naruto, The promised neverland, a bunch of stuff actually. Well it'll probably be bad but a good ending in manga is rare so I'm not expecting much.

Oh, sweet

Megumi and Shoko on Tsumiki's grave

Well I get you Shoko, you take care of the bodies even though you don't believe in anything past it

Last rites can also just be a form of respect without any meaning behind them

Wait TENGEN IS ALIVE

or is it just remains ?

That immortality techniques is fucked up

alive after being consumed

ewwwwww

Okay so no Tengen is well dead but her barriers are preserved

Oh the principal is not being a dick for once

Well, they can put stuff in place and then be young and happy

Well maybe the principal is going to sacrifice himself ? He seemed weirdly determined

Maybe a form of pact ?

To maintain the barriers

Ah yes, will they get rid of the incarnated players ? Will they agree ? Not that they have much hope of surviving

Oooh, Maki is being nice

well what about the poor dudes and gals whose body are being controlled ?

Weird exception Maki

Well Maki will end you my guy, you're strong but she is too

Oh nooo, the french mangaka

Jean Charles was it ?

urgh

(says a french guy)

I PASSS

have fun drawing your manga my guy

?????????

OH NO

KENJAKU ???????

Oh my god, well be gay and do fun scenes together. I'm pretty sure this is not Kenjaku and Gege is baiting us but we never know

WHO ?

UUUUH ?

Well who are the top brass now ? No more big clan alive ?

Good luck Higuruma

Angel ? What again ?

This is always confusing when they keep jumping between characters but I get that Gege doesn't have the time and page number to properly conclude every loose ends

But the ones he does are werid

Oh no, not a random relationship brought from just one interaction

PLEASE GEGE NOT THAT

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

again Gege, who are these people

I'm lost and I don't care about that

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW

okay it's maybe a random return to normal missions ?

Well that's not good, sorcerer will keep dying to curses then

Until the next earth, sea, forest and human curse appear ?

No HE DEFINITELY MORPHED

KILL HIM NOW

IT'S A TRICK

WHERE IS THE CURSEEEEEEEE

KILL IT NOW

One last mission ?

Okay well let's go

the last chapter will be weird

all of this was so weird

I'll see how I feel about all this after the last chapter

[bookworm-blogs]

**MANGA SPOILERS +253**

Kurogiri. The man made of mist. The caretaker of Shigaraki Tomura. The loyal servant to All For One himself. The lost boy.

We all know him and love him as Shigaraki's evil Alfred to his Batman, as well as the once aspiring hero Loud Cloud-- aka Shirakumo Oboro in the Vigilantes spin-off series-- who died much too soon in a villain attack that wasn't even directed for him. While the object of the high-end nomu is at large in recent manga chapters, I want to bring something up that I feel is completely overlooked about Kurogiri's character. Something that many people tend to forget.

Today, I want to point out how Kurogiri could be one of-- if not-- the STRONGEST NOMU in the series.

Allow me to explain.

Kurogiri's quirk, or the amalgamation of quirks, is known as Warp Gate, which gives him the ability to create portals through the black mist his body is made up of. Not only is this ability highly valued by the villains as a means of transportation, but also for its impressive attacking capabilities. As shown in the fight between All Might and the USJ nomu, Kurogiri damn near cut both ultrapowered beings in half with very little effort. Warp Gate may not be a physically powerful quirk, but it is definitely one that is incredibly lethal if used smartly-- which Kurogiri does.

That in and of itself makes Warp Gate an incredibly powerful quirk, but I argue that there is more to it than that. As far as we can tell, there is no quirk capable of destroying Kurogiri's body, and as shown in Chapter 254, Kurogiri's mist cannot be erased. This makes Kurogiri's body almost entirely invulnerable, something unique from other high-end nomu that Miruko noted to be "easy enough to kill once their heads are destroyed."

Of course, Bakugo discovered that there is a solid in Kurogiri's body, and when I looked back at the scene, I saw it was his head, but that's about it. Kurogiri is fully capable of expanding, contracting, and moving his body to impossible degrees. If he really wanted to, Kurogiri could have minced Bakugo to bits with his warp gate and escape captivity from Gran Torino all within seconds.

Why didn't he?

Because of Shirakumo's nurturing spirit.

Unlike the other high-end nomu, Kurogiri doesn't have that internal drive for fighting, but prefers to seek out peaceful resolutions or something that involves little to no conflict. This is Kurogiri's greatest strength as well as his greatest weakness. Because Kurogiri doesn't want to fight, he allows others to take advantage of him, which leads to his own imprisonment.

His quirk alone makes him a powerful foe, but if Kurogiri was more driven for combat like Hood and the other high-end nomu, he could easily take out an army of heroes in an instant. All it takes is several well placed portals and boom, they're minced to bits as easily as grated cheese. Hell, not even erasure can get rid of Kurogiri's body, and even without Warp Gate he is easily a threat-- nobody can touch him, but he can touch them.

However, since Kurogiri is a pacifist, everyone seems to forget about this, and thank God for that, too. If Kurogiri were a man with a taste for blood or a lack of empathy, he could easily be a villain many, many times deadlier than Shigaraki, maybe even All For One.

[vannahfanfics]

Me after reading the newest My Hero Academia chapter. 😱

[commander-erwin-smith]

I don’t often do meta, but here I am. After seeing a post regarding this panel from the chapter 270 leaks:

And the theory basically becoming re-confirmed how that the hands in this panel are the same hands that he has on his body in the exact locations (his dad’s hand, his sister’s hand, his mom’s hand, his maternal grandpa’s hand, his maternal grandma’s hand, and two random street guy’s hands—which was confirmed before this chapter), The person from the original post which I have linked above brought up how Shigaraki’s hand on his head which was Shimura Nana’s hand in this panel, got destroyed and All for One apparently gave him another hand which was thought to be Nana’s other hand.

So then this got me thinking some angsty things. That All for One has Nana’s body somewhere—that it wasn’t destroyed to smithereens in the explosion during her fight with him in All Might Rising. It makes sense if All for One was giving Shigaraki her hands. What if he made her into Woman (the female Nomu)? We know how Kurogiri was Shirakumo. So what if Woman is Nana? What if All for One still has some of Nana’s blood?

From those what ifs I started thinking about All Might and how his possible death may happen. I wrote a short post about how I was thinking that Shiragaki would be the one to kill him since he’s Nana’s grandson and how All Might would die trying to save Shigaraki and get him to hear the truth. (To a lesser extent I was thinking All for One would kill him, but I feel like his battle with All Might is done.) Now with the possibility that All for One might have Nana’s blood, that would be a perfect way for Toga to use it to transform into her and go after All Might. All for One’s trusted doctor Garaki Kyudai/Ujiko Daruma embalmed the hands for Shigaraki and made the Nomu so it could be possible that he is holding onto Nana’s blood since All for One is in prison. Due to his closeness with the doctor he could have told him about Nana’s fate and how Shigaraki is her grandson.

Now Toga would have to learn about Nana in order to impersonate her, obviously. She’d have to disguise herself to get into the prison to talk to AfO or just take the easy route with the possibility that the doctor knows about her. Then she’d get the blood sample from him and drink it. Boom. Transformation. Then once she got to All Might she’d convince him that “she’s” still alive and try to convince him into believing that she’s the real Nana. It would shock him so badly and break his heart. Even more so when she turns on him and attacks him. Maybe blames him for not staying to fight to help her. After a fatal blow to All Might, Toga goes back to her actual form and All Might feels even more heartbroken as he lays there bleeding out.

Now with the Woman theory to lastly connect to the hands from these 270 leaks, Nana being made into her and going after All Might. In his true form he wouldn’t be able to do as much despite still being agile. Woman was described as a more intelligent type than the other Nomu and could talk with complete sense and good grammar despite being aggressive and bloodthirsty. Due to that maybe Woman/Nana retained memories of her past, but suppressed them. Let’s say that her intelligence allows her to find All Might. Due to her being made that way she has inner conflicts inside of her mind due to still retaining those memories of him. She attacks him fatally because of the memories trying flooding when she gets to him. And then he finds out that Woman is Nana and he’s lying there heartbroken and slipping away.

Man, I love destroying my feels with my love for All Might.

[yeah-mani]

IS HE INSIDE ALL FOR ONE??

[thequietmanno1]

Thelreads, MHA 270, Replies Part 3

1) “WHOS TRYING TO STOP HIM?

IS IT HIS FAMILY?

BECAUSE THAT SPEECH BUBBLE MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THIS ISN`T JUST HIS IMAGINATION, THIS MAKES IT SEEMS LIKE IT`S A REAL PERSON STUCK IN THERE AS WELL”-  It does seem to be the spirits of his family, but it could just as easily be himself using their memories to avoid fully accepting at the last moment- the word bubble is made of that same greyish mass that symbolised his growing anger and resentment that apparently powers Decay during his flashback, and what ultimately motivates Tomura is the desire to tear down everything that restricts and imprisons him in society, everything that rejects his will and tries to tune him out because he doesn’t fit in. Accepting the Quirk AFO would grant him the power to enforce his will through any obstacle, but it likewise means utterly submitting himself in spirit to AFO’s machinations, and some part of Tomura may instinctually recognise that, may realise that what comes from accepting this deal will be bad for him in a way totally different to anything a heroes could do to thwart him, but Tomura’s simply too resolute after having thought through his origins one more time to be waylaid by any doubts at the last step. 2) “THE HANDS ARE FROM THEM, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET HIM AWAY FROM THIS MONSTER, THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE HIM

BUT TO HIM, THOSE HANDS ARE NOTHING BUT PAIN, THEY ARE NOT SEEN AS TRYING TO SAVE HIM, BUT TO HURT HIM”- The memories of his family used to bring him comfort, but now they are shackles holding him back from becoming what he wants- or rather, what he’s been groomed into believing he wants. AFO has not spent more time with Tomura then Tenko did with his own family and been spending every minute of it carefully twisting his mentality to support his ultimate goals – is it any wonder that Tomura wouldn’t be talked down at the last step, especially when all of those people failed him in one way or another? 3) “THE WORST PERSON THAT COULD SHOW UP HERE. HE WANTS TO SAVE HIM, BUT HE ALREADY BROUGHT SO MUCH PAIN THAT HIS PRESENCE IS A SIGN OF THE OPPOSITE FOR SHIAGARKI

NOW HE IS CERTAIN OF NOT STOPPING”- And when it seems like he might maybe think about it because of the rest of his family, it’s the sight of his father that again hardens and focuses his resolve.

4) “IT`S HER

SHE`S HERE

HOLY FUCK IT WAS REALLY SOMEONE STUCK IN THERE

AFO TOOK HER QUIRK BEFORE HE KILLED HER, DIDN`T HE? WHAT IS TO SAY HE DIDN`T TOOK A PART OF HER AS WELL? IF BOTH OF THE QUIRKS CAN TRANSFER PARTS OF HOLDERS, THEN WHAT`S TO SAY THIS ISN`T REALLY NANA HERSELF?”- Actually, he couldn’t steal her Quirk, for the same reason that Izuku is guaranteed to inherit it alongside all the other holder’s – Nana’s Quirk had merged into the ‘core’ of OFA and become a part of it, meaning they were no longer separate Quirks, but one and the same. Nana possessing OFA effectively merged her natural Quirk into the power when it was passed on, which makes it unclear if she was becoming Quirkless when she faced him for the last time on her own waning embers of the power, but as OFA is the only known means of defending against AFO’s unique ‘absorption’, possessing it likely would have granted a measure of defence even if the Quirk factors had remained separate, since it can simply say ‘no’ to any attempts he makes to remove a Quirk from the target’s body. That said, the ‘spare’ being her hand has…disturbing implications. It means that not only did AFO kill her, he preserved her body, presumably exclusively for the purpose of using it to psychologically torment her student in some fashion when next they met, or if the timeline matched up, perhaps even repurposing it into a Nomu’s to fight against him like he’d later do with Tomura himself. And apparently they only reason he didn’t do that is because he went the extra effort of tracking down Nana’s family in the aftermath to add more salt to the wound and switched priorities to corrupting Tenko when he realised what a golden opportunity he had. Of note, somebody on tumbler tallied up the damaged hand and confirmed that her hand is the only surviving one of the originals, which he keeps on him for the ‘brand recognition’. After much as he’s willingly stepping into the darkness and the point of no return, it feels significant that the physical reminders of his family who let him down are gone, but the only one that remains is the grandmother who never directly hurt him, and even inspired him at one point. 5) “YEAH, THAT WAS EXPECTED

HE WAS GUIDED DOWN THIS PATH AT FIRST, AND NOW HE WALKS IT OUT OF HIS OWN WILL. HE FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO TURNING BACK, AND HE`LL MAKE SURE THERE ISN`T SOMETHING TO GO BACK TO ONCE HE`S FINISHED.”- He was mocked for being weak-willed as a Villain before, now his will is even more unbreakable and resolute than Izuku’s, and their first proper clash of mind and body is imminent. 6) “WAS THAT NANA TELLING HIM THAT BEFORE SHE GOT PUSHED BACK INTO OBLIVION?”- No, it was Tomura telling her that he won’t be rejected anymore. Even if he’s been manipulated to think it’s all his own decision, he wants to be the villain now, and he won’t let the world or anything else tell him that’s the wrong thing to do. (MHA ch 265) 7) “Been quite a while I must say. So much so that I had to look back at what happened in the last chapter, and boi am I regretting it, because it reminded me of the fuckstorm we`re in the middle of. The Sad man`s parade got started, Hawks will have no choice but to kill Twice, and Dabi is on his way to kill Hawks, and so on, so on… Things are looking grim, and they`ll definitely get far worse, now that we`re starting Chapter 265: Villains and Heroes”-Ready for things to get Worse? This here, is the timestamp moment. (MHA ch 267) 8) “Oh hey look, it`s the doc and Shiggy`s tube, geez, I wonder what Mirko is gonna do to them, I just bet is gonna be really fun, Shiggy is full of energy and ready to play a lot with his friends (:  “ - His alarm clock’s gone off, and he’s cranky after being forced into an early rise. (MHA ch 267) 9) “AND IT WAS ENDEAVOR! HELL FUCKING YEAH, HE AT LEAST MANAGED TO SAVE MIRKO`S LEG FROM BEING SENT TO THE SHADOW REALM

AND OH JESUS, NOW THAT`S THE POINT OF NO RETURN

THAT LEG IS GONNA HIT THE TANK

AND BOY OH BOY, THIS MEAN THE NEXT CHAPTER IS TRULY GONNA BE LIT.”- No, the next chapter was the hope spot that things weren’t about to go to hell for everyone. But as Tomura awakens, that hope dies. (MHA ch 268) 10) “I don`t even remember who the fuck those last two were supposed to be. I think I saw them with the rest of the group, but I have no idea what their names were.”- Well, the guy on the far right might as well be called ‘dust in the wind’ considering his current situation. There’s literally no way he can do anything to save himself, and he knows it.

(MHA ch 268) 11) “ In which case better not let Present mic here, if he screams you can bet that Shigaraki is gonna wake up from his nap.”-Well, he screamed, and Tomura woke up after a moment or two, so I guess you were right. (MHA ch 269) 12) “I MEAN, SHIGARAKI WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO WAKE UP, THEY WOULDN`T AXE HIM LIKE THAT, BUT HOLY SHIT IF HE ACTUALLY WAKES UP NOW THIS WON`T BE PRETTY.”- Well, he’s awake now the main characters are out of the immediate firing line…shame about that ‘ranged’ aspect to his decay quirk now…. (MHA ch 269) 13) ”So, I think we`re approaching the end of this arc soon, and so… I think the Kaminari reveal is gonna happen soon, to keep the ball rolling and bring Shigaraki actually into play. “-Not quite the sequence of events that brought him back. That question will have to wait for another day. (MHA ch 269)

14) “AND HERE COMES REINFORCEMENTS

HO YEAH, WE`RE GONNA BE FINISHING THIS PART OF THE ARC PRETTY SOON.

and then… then I`m scared for what the future hold for us.”- So many targets, so little time to evacuate… (MHA ch 269) 15) “HOLY SHIT ITS ALL OF THEM

DRAGON LADY, ROCK LOCK, GRAN TORINO, THAT ENDEAVOR MUMMY SIDEKICK, I CAN SEE THE FIREFIGHTER FROM THE FIRST CHAPTER AND EVEN FUCKING MANUAL THERE

WE GOT THE WHOLE PARTY READY TO FUCK SHIT UP”-Or get their shit fucked up. Wanna bet on which of them is gonna survive this?

16) “IF NANA IS IN THERE, THEN THAT MEANS THAT THE PART OF HER WAS THE ONE THAT HAD THE PART OF THE PREVIOUS HOLDERS

DOES THAT MEAN THAT SHIGARAKI HAS A PART OF NANA THAT IS SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO THE PART OF NANA INSIDE OF MIDORIYA?

ARE THEY ALSO CONNECTED SOMEHOW?

IS THAT HOW HE KNEW?

OH THAT`S FUCKED UP, THAT`S GONNA FUCK THINGS UP”-

Reminder that AFO also somehow sense Izuku’s new Quirk’s awakening, so he’s also connected to that ethereal bond in some way. Stuff’s gonna get fully Harry Potter in here, with the big bad villain having a backdoor into the hero’s mind/soul. @thelreads

[a-sleepy-gnocchi]

I saw a post that mentioned that Aizawa’s quirk has literally been targeted by almost every main villain in the series. That hits a little different when tying it into Vigilantes (because I’ve been obsessed lol). As a kid, he thought his own quirk was weak and unheroic, an obstacle even. The same quirk that the doctor was actively trying to get his hands on. He had no idea how valuable his quirk was to other people. The only person who actively and verbally saw the potential/value of his quirk was Shirakumo (at least to Aizawa’s face, anyway). Not only that, but he pulled Aizawa along in pretty much anything that he did. There’s no way Aizawa would have became as confident as he is in the main series without Shirakumo’s friendship. It’s so sad to me that the same day Aizawa really stepped into his own confidence concerning his quirk (when he took down the villain in Vigilantes) is the day that he should have died, but Shirakumo died instead. The day All For One almost got his hands on the quirk Aizawa thought was a burden/useless. And then the realization, that after years of him probably thinking that he should have been the one to die instead of Shirakumo, hearing that he was, in fact, the actual target and one of his best friends got caught in the crossfire? That shit’s gonna hurt BAD. Especially after having survivors guilt for 14ish years and not processing it until he saw his friend’s reanimated corpse on the enemy’s side.

I swear, if Aizawa dies in this arc, I’m gonna be so pissed. Yes, because he’s my favorite character, but also because I wanna see how he handles that information now that he’s not actively pushing people away or avoiding the situation alltogether. And with that, my TED talk is done thanks for coming we’ve got refreshments in the back-

[ellectric-blue]

Okay so

忘れないでね

Means “don’t forget” since we can clearly see it’s from nana’s dialogue bubble, maybe she’s trying to remind Shigaraki of Shimura Tenko, the guy he was before AFO with the help of his family.

Then, Shigaraki escapes the grasps of everyone and says

俺を否定するな

Means “don’t deny me” it’s likely Shiggy’s the one saying it bc the me they’re using is ore, which is not usually used by women so it can’t be nana. So maybe it’s Shigaraki asking whatever’s controlling him to let him use his power? Like, don’t deny me of my power?

[grembitc-archived]

OH Holy Fuck

Half way through the chapter I couldn't stop saying Oh fuck
