An Old Navy Hero Returns [My Hero Academia 288]

Told ya he wasn’t dead. Welcome back, Best Jeanist! Or, is it? Maybe it’s someone else like…um… Yeah, I got nothing. It’s Best Jeanist, Y’all. No ifs, ands, or (denim) butts about it.

So, what’s Best Jeanist gonna do where so many other heroes have failed? Well, if you kept up with My Hero Vigilantes like I’ve told you you’d know Best Jeanist has the power to manipulate ALL fibers. Even carbon fiber cables. See…

And, whaddya know, that helicopter has large spools of wire inside. Coincidence? I think not.

My guess is Best Levi’s is gonna try restraining Gigantomachia and hopefully keep him otherwise occupied until that sedative finally starts kicking in.

Good on you, Spinner. I love that speech he gave Toga. I hope it’s a sign he, and even Mr. Compress, will step-up as more fleshed out characters and cement how much of a family the League of Villains are despite Twice being gone. But, every family has an asshole or two. And, that’s where Dabi comes in.

What exactly does he want Skeptic to do? Whatever it is he’s as happy as kid in a CBD candy store. For me, that brings it down to two options: It’s Endeavor related or Stain related. Dabi mentioned Endeavor before so maybe he’s gonna take another crack at him knowing he’s got to be injured and weak after fighting Super Shigaraki. And, then there’s Stain in Tartarus. With ALL the Top 10 (and most in general) heroes occupied with Gigantomachia, the PLF, Near High-Ends, evacuations, climate change deniers, etc., now would be the perfect time to bust Stain out of that maximum security prison. Even better with Skeptic there to hack Tartarus’ computer systems. There’d never be a better time to do it and Dabi knows it.

Toga VS Ochaco. Who wins? Gigantomachia, naturally. They’re in his path so I’m betting their fight will be interrupted. But, that’s not the point. Toga wants to know if Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Deku are gonna try to kill her just because she’s a murdering psychopath. Those judgmental bastards! Anyways, I’m not sure where Horikoshi is going with this plot. Mostly because Toga is kinda cray-cray so it’s hard to know how she’ll react, but my guess is it won’t be good for the heroes.

This was a great chapter! Mostly because of the return of Best Jeanist and seeing Froppy and Uravity helping people. But, come on, Hori. End this arc already. I just wanna get to the aftermath. I’ll even take some algebra, just show me how f’ed Japan is after a giant mowed down multiple cities. My calculator’s all warmed up ready to go. Wait, do students use physical calculators these days? Probably not, but cassette tapes are still popular, right? Right?!
