The stage is set. The actors are ready. Now, go out there a break a leg. A couple of ribs too; AFO deserves it.
The ol’ double cross. Always a good start to a fight scene. Nice going, Aoyama. Maybe not Oscar worthy, but you’re definitely getting a MTV award for that performance. AFO mentioned stealing his lie detector quirk from someone whose descendent’s working with All Might. If you read My Hero Vigilantes, you know AFO’s referring to Detective Tsukauchi. While not confirmed in the spin-off series, we know his sister, Makoto, has a lie detection quirk. Don’t take a Nezu to figure out the good detective has one too.
Are we all in agreement Shinso brainwashed the Aoyama Family over the phone so AFO couldn’t detect them working against him? Yes? Okay, then. Moving on…
Pretty smooth having Monoma copy Kurogiri’s quirk to transport the heroes to Deku’s location. I wouldn’t be surprised if he also copied Aizawa’s erasure quirk. Will probably use it to keep Shigaraki from KOing everyone, then teleport him away from AFO along with Deku into the loving arms of Bakugo, Hawks, Best Jeanist, Mirio and anyone else needed to take him down. And you thought those guys were just on a coffee break. Silly My Hero fan! This war’s taking place at multiple locations. What? I’m not gaslighting you. You’re crazy!
The villains could be clones, you say? What? That’s insane. I’m sure AFO didn’t have a back-up plan just in case something unexpected happened. I have a better idea: Toga made clones of the League of Villains and the real ones are still waiting to attack or elsewhere doing…stuff. What? That was your idea? Come on, don’t be jealous.
This was a great chapter! I’m surprised by how much I loved the setup. We even got some insight into AFO’s ultimate goal. If you could call it insight. Is it any shock he’s a megalomanic desiring world domination? Seriously, AFO, buy Disney and Amazon. Instant king of the world if you do that. Just don’t invest in the NFT market. Trust me on that.

I was NOT expecting anything from Monoma- I truly, truly wasn’t. Then again; I’m glad we got this instead of Kurogiri becoming Shirakumo again- in a flashback. That would have been AWFUL.
I didn’t expect Mirko’s arm to look like that. I knew she’d come back- she’s too much of a Fighter to let something as “small” as a missing arm get in her way!!
Clones? Possibly. But she only got that little bit of blood; whatever she’ll use it for HAS to be “Do-Or-DIE.” Saying that; I feel like these are the Genuine Articles and she’s going to use Twice’s powers in a fit of rage when Uraraka comes at her.
Though that opens the question: When the effects of her quirk where off- when she turns back into my lovely Himiko chan again- What’ll happen with all the copies? Will they…….. stick around? And what if she makes a replica of Twice?
Shinso’s why they were able to lie so effectively? Could those under his influence talk? I thought he could only make them do actions that wouldn’t require much thought. Well, whatever; Shinso’s gonna have SOME involvement in this- something IMPORTANT.
I think that this will be the site where they deal with the Nomu, via the pilots that came with Star. No WAY will they leave before giving All For One a great big Middle Finger- even if it means being Court Marshalled! Monoma will transport the key players to their designated sites, though they’re obviously not gonna stay in their spots.
Imminent Deaths: Aizawa after he does something that leaves an impact on the rest of the fight; Aoyama in an act of Redemption; All Might trying to save the D@mn Nerd………….. That Seems Like All Of Them………. unless you see some other characters with Death Flags as high as those(come to think of it; Aoyama’s aren’t really that High- nor varied. But I still feel like THIS All For One is going to make him pay for that…………Oh man; All For One doesn’t feel like himself anymore.
I don’t even know what his “ulterior” motive is aside from what Aoyama said. What MORE could he want? He’s getting a new body; One For All is RIGHT THE F*CK THERE, and- as far as he’s considered- ALREADY IN HIS HANDS; he’s about to get rid of the Japan’s Remaining Heroes all in one fell swoop- WHAT MORE IS THERE?!
But I feel like the Mis-characterization came from him killing 2 people in front of Aoyama. The All For One I know wouldn’t resort something as “vulgar” as that to make someone do his bidding! Ugh; not my favorite All For One moment.

Fear is a great motivator sometimes. He probably killed them to quickly make the Aoyamas fall in line.
Deaths? I don’t know. Midnight got off-screened (Hate it) so anything goes I guess. Well, maybe not the students. I think they have an extra layer of plot armor to keep them safe.
I forgot about All Might dying. I wonder why he’ll go to the battlefield? Seems like a dumb move. But, the fight could just wind up near him.
