Thelreads, MHA 278, Replies Part 1

1) "And just as Gigantomachia is trying to crash the party, Mt. Lady there showing why she’s a bad bitch. Thing are about to turn bad if she caves in, so, get ready for Chapter 278: Disaster walker”- Title could mean anything from “walking disaster” to “disaster follows where he walks”, and honestly, Machia seems to fit both of those descriptions, even more than Tomura. For one, he doesn’t have any of Tomura’s current handicaps with his powers being sealed, unfortunately for the heroes.

2) “BAD NEWS INDEED, MINETA HASN’T BEEN K.I.A. DURING THE SKIRMISHES

Also Machia is coming this way

…

HOLY FUCK MACHIA IS COMINGT HISWAY”- Well, if Machia’s heading towards Mineta’s current position, this could be good news in a very heavy disguise. Like, a twilight-level disguise.

3)“Also fuck you Tommy Wiseau, Shigaraki is your boss and god, forget Heinz Doofersmith, he’s gonna be arrested anyway, even more now that he doesn’t even has the nuclear dissuader that was Machia by his side.”- Dunno if this has been shown before, but a bonus page revealed that Dabi was the one specifically to forcibly drag along Skeptic on their current jaunt, with something in mind he’s been thinking about for a while…

 

4) “Oh yeah, I think that Machia is indeed the juggernaut of our story, nothing can stop him once he gets moving

And I think Mt. lady is gonna find that out the hard way”- Arguably Izuku could…if it was an Izuku operating at 100% full Cowling again, or at least have a few more years to train his upper % higher. Sadly, giving the hero time to train up for the big fight is an old trope that All For One was well aware of and determined to prevent, so unless somebody’s got a hyperbolic time chamber lying around….

5) “Are you telling me there’s not a single crowd-control hero here that can stop him? Where’s midnight, she could be useful here I suppose. I think. Would machia even be affected by her quirk?”- Given that Momo falls back on using massive quantities of drugs when Midnight’s direct approach fails, it can be assumed that Machia, needing to breathe and everything, does still have a working biological system that can be affected by chemical compounds like anybody else’s… and if it’s impossible for the heroes to damage him externally without a continental missile or equivalent superhero on All Might’s level, they they’ll have to go for weakening him internally. Of course, there’s also the factor to consider with how large he is, whether or not the drugs would even be able to slow him down much even if they do affect him. Like, do we need to make him swallow a tanker of the stuff to make him woozy?

6) “FUCK YOU GETEN, WE ARE DEBATING A SERIOUS TOPIC HERE, STOP INTERRUPTING SHIT”- Genten doesn’t want debates to slow down the march of Liberation today.

7) “OH THANK YOU CEMENTOSS, HE WAS SO RUDE INTERRUPTING US, PLEASE PUT HIM IN HIS PLACE

ALSO, IS THAT A VEIN ON YOUR TEMPLE JESUS FUCK”- Moving that much concrete mass that fluidly must be putting one hell of a strain on him, not to mention how ineffective it is at holding down Genten so long as Re-Destro’s smashing up the place and breaking any restraints Cementos creates, thus further forcing him to exert himself to temporarily corral the other forces running around as best he can until Edge shot scores a win.

8) “Huh, is that Tokoyami emerging from the ground with Dark Shadow?”- Nope, it’s the other edgy dark-themed hero, who is ironically engaging a foe that comes off as a discount Dark Shadow on a rampage. Like, I wonder how a protected brawl between them would pan out, if they were underground and Re-Destro still had his legs. Tokoymi would fold in a single hit, but he can attack from a distance with a strong dark Shadow, and Re-destro’s stress ability must have a limit to how long he can remain in that stressed-up state before he exhausts his power supply. It’s impossible to remain stressed 24/7, no matter how bad your job is.

9) “Ah, nevermind, it was just the stressful hulk

Well, I suppose that now that Machia is on the move there’s no longer an option of waiting around, it’s either kill or be killed, and I have a feeling he is not intending to go gentle into that good night.”- Machia already evacuated the important members of their top brass, so all that’s left for him to do is try to rally the ground forces and catch up with his head-long dash before it’s too late to participate at Tomura’s fight…for whichever side is still standing by the end.

10) “Yeah, The End walks the earth, the true Calamity of our age, but he is not completed yet

And as long as this fight keeps going, he won’t be able to return to his slumber and finish the process. Not that it is as simple as that, since the Doc is on his way to be executed, but even so”- Shit’s bad, but it’s not completely fucked. This summation will be in place for several chapters. Can you guess when it’ll stop being relevant?

11) “Oh don’t worry dude, he still is just as terrifying and lethal as you expect him to be, I think you should rush there and give him a big ‘ol hug, he missed you so much (: “- Well, apparently, they expected him to be a god upon the Earth who could re-shape the planet’s surface with a gesture. A stupidly-terrifying power-level difference, but then again, they really didn’t want another All Might appearing to mess up their goals, so the best way to avert that is making it just impossible to fight Tomura, let alone beat him.

12) “BUT YEET GOES MT LADY

THROWN LIKE AN EMPTY CAN OF POP

ALAS, THAT WAS TO BE EXPECTED

TIS WAS INEVITABLE, I DARE SAY”-  It should be pointed out, Mt lady doesn’t have shoes on. The inability to create growth-capable metals to transform with her means that her hero outfit is basically a size-stretching fabric, allowing it to be easily torn or damaged in a fight. For that reason, Mt Lady needed to place a car onto her foot when busting open the backup hideout at Kamino to protect herself. 

Consequently, her attempts to slow down Machica and the trees breaking underneath her feet are giving her a massive case of splinters with every mile he pushes her back – you can see her soles bleeding and impaled from the damage. She doesn’t just tackle his leg at the end out of desperation, she’s also genuinely having trouble standing up anymore

13) “Time for this Giant to know the scent of the Night”- Not if Dabi has anything to say about it. He’s got an express ride straight to the big fight scene, and he’s clever enough to predict any upsets the heroes can throw in his way…not to mention sadistically gleeful at the chance to thwart their best efforts.

14) “that looks like a troll face jesus fuck “- Somewhat ironically, now that Dabi’s actually starting to emote more and open up, it turns out he’s got a personality not unlike a spite-driven troll, not only wanting to tear others down, but make them feel bad for doing so. He wasn’t just keeping his head down to lure the heroes in closer for his blast, he was doing it to give them false hope before he snuffed that out. Similarly, he strung Hawks along with his double-agent act until he got what he wanted, and then made sure to rub it in Hawks’ face that he murdered a man who deserved a second chance right before trying to kill him, just for the sake of hurting him more.

15) “OH NO NOT THE MARBLES! QUICK MIDNIGHT, EVASIVE MANEUVERS! “- Sadly, Midnight can’t manoeuvre mid-air, and without Kamui being able to help her swing about with his branches, she can’t dodge getting hit with such large chunks of rubble when they suddenly appear out of nowhere.

16) “Dammit Midnight, that maneuver sucked

And don’t you fucking roll your eyes at him young man, who you think he is, endeavor?”- Dabi’s so anti-team player, he’s annoyed whenever somebody picks up his slack and aids his side, because it shows him being incompetent and not as capable of doing it all alone like he prefers. The fact that that’s true doesn’t matter, he still doesn’t like help.
