Get a Grip, Deku! [My Hero Academia 321]

I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.
-Helen Keller

Show, don’t tell. A phrase uttered describing the best kind of storytelling. It’s also a good way of showing resolve. In this chapter, we got both.

Deku had to be shown Class A isn’t weak. That they can keep up with the power of One For All. It looks like they finally got through to him. Seriously, do you know how insane it is for Ida to grab Deku going at Faux 100% speed? That’s quite the feat! Props to Ida, Uraraka, Bakugo and the entire freaking class for pulling that off. Passing grades all around!

I’d like to give a special shout out to Shoto for saying Deku’s loner actions were probably part of All For One’s plan to capture a mentally and physically weakened Deku.

Annnd, that it. Well, I guess I could mention Endeavor allowing Class A to reach Deku without Pro-Heroes interfering, but, yeah; it was a pretty straightforward chapter.

This was a great chapter! Lots of emotion. Lots of teamwork. Lots of wonderful friends being wonderful friends. Looking forward to what Deku and the class do moving forward. …Wait a minute! Where was Shinso? You jerk! Did you even text Deku asking if he was alright? Nope, you were too busy posting pictures of yourself in your new hero costume on Instagram. It’s always a shame seeing success go to one’s head.
