The Defenders [My Hero Vigilantes 89]

We got the team-up. We got a goal. We got a villain. Don’t fret. Just come as you are.

Rappa, Mirko, and O’Clock working together. I honestly didn’t think about that happening until it did. I love it! But, who’s the person in the hoodie at the end? Hoodie… Oh! Hood! Remember him? The first High-End that fought Endeavor and Hawks in the main series? The one who’s base body was an underground fighter? Yeah, I guess it’s him, but is Pre-Hood worthy of being called a “top resource” by AFO?

Well, maybe Pre-Hood was slowly altered over time. An upgrade here, an upgrade there until BAM, welcome to High-End town. Or, maybe it has something to do with Pre-Hood’s quirk. Hm? What is Pre-Hood’s quirk? If I had to guess I’d say it’s flying (Hood could fly.). Remember, My Hero Vigilantes is about speed, and no way a slowpoke stands a chance against Mirko, Rappa, and O’Clock. Add a trigger boost and/or some upgrades by Ujiko and got ourselves a huge threat. Pre-Hood might even be a Number! Now that’s what I would call a top resource!

Who’s using the Warp Gate quirk? Could it be Kurogiri assisting All For One? It did seem like All For One was talking to someone at the end, but it didn’t sound like the prim and proper Kurogiri. My guess is Ujiko watching the live feed too while his BFF All For One steals any out-of-control quirk he’s interested in. Ujiko, huh? Just one more reason to think Pre-Hood could be a Number.

This was a good chapter. In typical Vigilantes fashion, we get the slow arc build-up until reaching the climax. I’m excited to see our Defenders working together and how that could be a detriment to the trio. Mirko hates team-ups for a reason, you know? Did whatever gave her that conclusion happen at the Underground Masquerade? Guess we’ll find out. Or, not. Frankly, as long as Netflix’s Iron Fist doesn’t show up I’m good either way.
