Blaster Master [My Hero Vigilantes 63]

Go get ’em, Aizawa (He’s screwed.)! You got this buddy (You really don’t.)!

We turn back the clock on the flashback and see how His Purple Highness and one of the goggles users were hurt. Turns out the goggle guy taken down was Shirakumo while he was protecting pre-schoolers and their teacher. Could Shirakumo’s injury be the catalyst for him eventually leaving UA? Honestly, that’s the only way I can think a positive guy like him who’s dead set on becoming a hero can fall. We’ll just have to wait and see I guess. For all we know, Shirakumo may bounce back and help Aizawa take Garvey down.

Speaking of Garvey. He looks very, uh, bioweapony. If not for Midnight running down his rap sheet I’d think he was one of Ujiko’s creations sent out for a test run. Midnight did say he seemed more powerful. Ujiko/The Villain Factory probably had a hand at that. Keep in mind this flashback takes place when Aizawa was in highschool. Ujiko’s been a busy little mad scientist for quite a few decades, huh?

That’s pretty much the chapter. Aizawa and Shirakumo run into a giant villain while out on patrol. There a scene where Shirakumo tells Aizawa he’d make a good teacher but that’s about it. So, how will Aizawa handle a giant villain capable of absorbing attacks? He won’t. I’m guessing he’ll do what he can but Shirakumo or other heroes will back him up for the win. It’s just way too early in Aizawa’s career for a solo takedown against a villain this strong. Hm. I wonder if All Might will show up?

A nice chapter. We’re at the fighty-fight part of Aizawa’s backstory, a point that may end badly for Shirakumo and cement in Aizawa’s mind that heroes at meant to be set to a high standard. A reasoning which may lead to expelling students he feels can’t cut it in the future. Or, maybe he’s just a jerk. Sometimes the simplest answers are the best.
