Invisible Snitches Get Invisible Stitches [My Hero Academia 259]

No, I’m not talking about the Doctor working on Shigaraki. I mean the Invisible Girl AKA Toru Hagakure. Where exactly is she? I don’t see her among any of the heroes spreads.

Yeah, yeah. She’s invisible. I get it, but so will the heroes after she warns the Paranormal Liberation Front of what the heroes are doing. Yep, it’s a mass takedown of everything PLF. Ujiko, their hotel HQ, even their bases are all get raided at once. But, hey, I’m sure things will go smoothly, unlike last time with the Kamino Arc and All For One. …Damn you, Toru! Don’t fudge this up!

My, my, my, we learned a lot about Doctor Ujiko, didn’t we? Got his real name (Well, it’ll be changed due to a controversy linking his name to horrific WW2 events, but you get what I’m saying), public accomplishments, learned he’s quirkless, and know Shigaraki is “just over a month” away from completion. Hm, quirkless? Sure, he was born quirkless but I wouldn’t be surprised if AFO give him a little something-something in case of emergencies. Basically, don’t count the Doc out yet.

Quick side notes: With Ujiko getting revealed in the main series, there’s nothing stopping him from showing up in My Hero Vigilantes. Yay! Thinking about it, he has to. He’s the Big Bad behind the trigger drug experiments, kidnappings, flying monsters, and No. 6. All roads lead to Doctor Evil. Hey, we may even get his backstory in Vigilantes! If it can happen to Aizawa, it can happen to Ujiko.

Let’s talk about Shigaraki for a moment. Safe to say he’s not sleeping through all this. And no doubt, even incomplete, he’s gonna be a force of pure destruction. Bye-bye Unnamed City. It was nice knowing you. Incomplete Shiggy also opens the door for him needing One For All. If the Doctor gets caught by the end of the arc, One For All is Shigaraki’s only option for achieving the perfect body. Ooooh! Things are gonna get nasty!

I hope Hawks is okay at Hotel del Liberate. Guess he’ll try to capture Twice and escape. But, he’ll be okay. Hawks can take down any of the commanders in a one-on-one fight. Of course, they could all gang up on him. And, then there’s Gigantomachia.

……Well, nice knowing ya Hawks. R.I.P.

Another great chapter. I’m loving this build-up. Once again, we’re shown how competent the Police in this universe is and how well they can coordinate with the heroes. Yeah, the Kamino parallels are huge but no one should think this will all go smoothly. Crap is hitting the fan either next chapter or the one after that. Get really, y’all.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to figure out what the hell Detective Tsukauchi meant by Ujiko “promoting community-based medicine rooted in quirks”. Is that like using quirks to grow medical Cannabis or something? If so, sign me up!
