You know what? Something tells me things aren’t gonna end well for Shirakumo. Brace yourselves now, y’all. We’ve reached the beginning of the end.
It’s a new semester and Aizawa and Shirakumo are still interning at Purple Highness’ agency. They’ve become a great team, so much so they (And, by “they” I mean Shirakumo) decides to partner up in a 2-on-2 training battle. Yamada and his work-study teammate, Sensoji, also team-up. By the way, whose agency are they working at? And, what’s the homeroom teacher’s name? I still need details damn it!
Anyway, Sensoji, being the established Class Jerk that he is, rags on Aizawa using goggles because he’s decided he should be the only one in the hero course with eyewear. Even though he stole the idea from Present Mic. What a meathead.
Sensoji challenges Aizawa and Shirakumo to a fight with their goggles on the line. High stakes, people. High stakes. We learn Sensoji’s quirk is Blast, and from what I can tell he fires a beam or energy force from his hands that causes a lot of random debris flying in every direction. Hence, the need for him to wear protective glasses. Anyway, Sensoji charges in on his own without Present Mic and quickly loses to Team Aizakumo.
Later, we learn Shirakumo wants he, Aizawa, and Yamada to form an agency together after they graduate. Because they’re all so close and such good friends who’ll always be together forever. Did I mention Shirakumo has a crush on Midnight? Yep, a lot of focus on Shirakuma towards the end of the chapter.
And then, the last page happens…
You see, one week later, Purple Highness and a hero trainee wearing goggles are wounded in a villain attack. Uh-oh! I wonder who it could be?*coughShirakumocoughcough*
A good chapter. Obviously, it setup Shirakumo and Aizawa teamwork and friendship only for it to all come crashing down at some point. I just didn’t realize that “some point” was now. It’s all downhill from here. So, what do we know? Assuming the wounded trainee is Shirakumo, he’ll probably survive the attack and somehow the experience with cause him to spiral down until he finally leaves U.A. For someone as positive as Shirakumo to fall into disillusion, it’s possible Purple Highness may die or be so injured he’s forced to retire. We also can’t rule out Shirakumo receiving a permanent injury.
It’s gonna be sad, y’all. Prepare yourselves now. I already got my tissues and 10 pounds of ice cream stocked up and ready to go. Give me your worst, My Hero Vigilantes. I can maybe take it.
