Bonney got her revenge, sorta.

Luffy caused most of the damage to St. Saturn, but sure, let’s all agree Bonney got her resolution. It’s a weak ending to a weak-ish arc villain. Saturn, you suck. Sure, you’re evil and all, but you lack the charisma or swag other big One Piece villains have. Here’s hoping you fall into the sea and die.

I was so sure Admiral Kizaru would attack one more time. Doesn’t look like it’s happening. I get it. His heart isn’t in this mission and it’s affecting his fighting ability. Still, I wonder if the Five Elders will try to put some blame on him? I mean, what else are they gonna do? Blame themselves? Ha ha ha ha! Not happening. Kizaru might be in danger, Y’all. But I guess most of the Vegapunks dying will help salvage Kizzy’s career. Still, I wonder what the admiral will do going forward?

Even Thor’s jealous of how much thunder Luffy stole from Bonney.

Is this the calm before the final storm?

This was a surprising light hearted, slice-of-life chapter—mostly. I love seeing Class 2-A interacting with each other both in classroom and on a “mission” while just being friends. Shinso fits naturally into their dynamic along with a calmer Bakugo so much it makes me sad we won’t see much more of it soon.

What’s the lesson that’s coming? Uraraka’s sad over Toga despite the country coming together to rebuild. Deku’s also thinking about what that jackass Spinner told him before. Hmm… Could the takeaway here be not forgetting the past? Maybe the world according to Deku and Uraraka currently seems to have or want to forget about Toga and the League of Villains and moved on. But doing so will also erase what lead those villains down a dark path and ignore the problems which lead to those said paths. Basically, if you forget the past, you’re doomed to repeat it. And that, my friends, is a big no-no.

Raise your hand if you had to look up what *convalescing* means?

Optimus Emet is about to rejoin the Matrix.

Over 900 years is a good run. Sure, your best friend died and the planet flooded, but at least the WIFI still works. Emet’s about to die, Y’all. For real this time! Let’s just hope he survives long enough for Vegapunk’s recording to give us the name of the Ancient Civilization. But, hey! Oda gave us a Chekhov’s robot powers. I’m sure we’ll see what Emet can really do in the Void Century flashback.

Anyone else get the feeling Emet’s gonna self-destruct? That’s usually how it goes, right? Nothing else works but you can bet your sweet bippy the ole self-boom is oiled up and ready to go. Besides, it’s the one thing that could possibly slow down the Five Elders long enough for Team Luffy to escape.

Emet’s gonna use his secret weapon: Tattling. The Five Moms are gonna spank ’em good!

Spinner’s writing a book. Hope he finishes it before his execution.

It wasn’t stated in the chapter but Spinner’s on death row, right? The dude was a prominent member of the group that almost destroyed Japan. At the very least, he’s getting life in prison with no chance of Hulu.

I do like the juxtaposing of the chapter being about Tomura Shigaraki’s best friend while showing bits of a Shigaraki’s exposé broadcast. The public doesn’t know much about him, so I guess Spinner’s future book on the guy is gonna be a bestseller. I wonder if Spinner can get Mr. Compress to narrate the audiobook version?

Before I go further, let me just say that I like Spinner as a character. His intentions were good joining the League of Villains, but he quickly got swallowed up by the desires and charisma of very bad, very powerful people. All of that said… Screw you, Spinner!

Yes, and I love strawberry cheesecake with ice cream on top. Just because you like something doesn’t mean it’s good for you or right.

This motherforker had the gall to call out Deku for killing Shigaraki like it he was the bad guy. What. The. Hell?! I get Shiggy was your best bud and Player-Two in your gaming sessions. I get it. But don’t forget Spinner… You best friend…is a MASS MURDERER. He personally killed people, destroyed property resulting in deaths, and lead an organization whose followers killed and injured people. F*ck you. Seriously, f*ck you! You should be on your knees thanking whatever entity you worship I wasn’t there in Deku’s place. If you had said that to me I would’ve shoved my last ember of One For All right up your ass!

Nika Bonney sucks.

I figured stamina would be an issue but Ms. Nika barely did anything! Well, the powerscalers are at least happy. Also, I guess mastery of haki comes with Bonney’s Nika Package. Sure. Why not?

Alrighty! Let me see… Five Elders. One (St. Mars) got Team Rocket’d. St. Peter and St. Warcury are being held back by Gear 5 Luffy and Emet, the ancient robot. …That leaves St. Saturn and St. Nusjuro. How much you wanna guess those two are what’s holding up the Thousand Sunny Group?

Don’t think Emet forgot you owe him money, St. Warcury.

If true, then Team Nami needs a distraction. Enter Atlas wanting to check up on the Sunny. I really don’t see Lilith dying, so what does Atlas want them to do? Well, I guess they could try to sacrifice themselves but the Straw Hats will stop them. And, the hold up could give Stussy time to help and hop aboard the Thousand Sunny. Either that or she finds and escapes with Edison somehow.

The Todoroki Saga comes to an end.

With news My Hero Academia is ending in August, we begin the farewell tour with the Todoroki Family. Dabi’s dying, but this time it’s for real. I love that final interaction between him and the rest of the family. It’s even more impactful knowing that scene will be the final time the entire Todoroki fam is together in one place.

That’s right, Y’all. Natsuo’s going no contact on daddy Endeavor. Did you also notice Natsuo was the only family member who didn’t speak to Toya? Yeah, I don’t think Natsuo’s visiting Toya again. I get the vibe he just went there to support the others that one time. Natsuo seems to be over it all. He’s done with the drama and just wants to live a happy normal life with his soon-to-be wife and the less crappy members of his family. I respect that. Bravo to Horikoshi for giving us a more realistic ending instead of a typical happily ever after scenario.

Every member of the Todoroki family carries scars, physical and emotional. And platinum credit cards. Posh drama is best drama.

Natsuo’s getting married without having a ceremony. Fuyumi quit her job as a teacher. I wonder if that’s because Japan is in a state of restoration and rebuilding or because they’re getting backlash over being related to a prominent member of the League of Villains? I’m not a Japanese culture expect, but from what I think I understand, being related to a criminal in Japan can damage a family’s reputation. Basically, people blame the family for the actions of one. Is than another reason Natsuo’s distancing himself from Endeavor? Is it also another reason Fire Daddy’s spending his retirement taking full responsibility for Toya’s behavior? To protect his other children? Hmm…
