Operation: Shigaraki Crackdown [My Hero Academia 413]

Psychological crack is wack, Y’all.

Shigaraki, after getting a taste of One For All, now wants more. But this OFA addict hasn’t realized Team Deku actually wants him to overdose on that good quirk stuff. That’s basically the plan. Kudou, the Second OFA User, wants to “throw” himself at Shigaraki’s mind space. Specifically, toward the mental crack in his hateful head. That could eventually lead to the crack opening enough for Shigaraki to have a glorified psychological meltdown. Weaponizing trauma, huh? Sounds like my ex-partner. Wait does that mean I was the Shigaraki in that relationship?

Will Kindness Defeat Crazy? [My Hero Academia 412]

What’s the point to all of this Deku?

Even if you “save” Shigaraki, it won’t undo all the crimes he committed. Trespassing. Disorderly Conduct. Oh! And, lest not forget Mass Destruction, Terrorism, and Murder. A LOT of murders. Whether or not he repents means nothing to the multitude of citizens/victims who want him dead for what he’s done. Tartarus? Ha! Shigaraki will be lucky not to get convicted then immediately thrown into a volcano. You know? Like the one he’s trying to turn Mt. Fuji into? Come on Deku, my dude. Get a clue!

Danger Was My Middle Name [My Hero Academia 411]

Danger Sense got stolen? You should’ve seen that coming, Deku.

Shinomori sure didn’t! The Fourth One For All User, along with his Danger Sense quirk, are now apart of Shigaraki. And, it looks like with that comes the added benefit of limited access to the ghostly OFA users’ Psychic Space. Basically, Shigaraki and Deku are even more connected than before with them each holding one of the Shigaraki Twins quirks.

I Wish You Were Never Born [My Hero Academia 410]

My wish didn’t come true. But, I got the next best thing!

Yes, my friends, All F. One is finally dead! Yahoo! Yipee! Who wants a slice of my AFO’s Dead Celebration Cake? Its got buttercream icing. Yum!

Jeez Louise! That battle lasted a long time! Sure, it had some good moments with All Mech throwing everything but the kitchen sink at AFO. But, still, learn how to get in, show the good stuff, then get out, Horikoshi. I know. I know. It’s not so much a Horikoshi problem as it is a shonen problem. So what? It’s my AFO Funeral Party and I’ll whine if I want to.

To the people who claim all babies are cute, I present to you: Exhibit A.

Bakugo’s Sweaty Balls [My Hero Academia 409]

Who knew balls of sweat could be so powerful?

And who knew Bakugo could encase his explosive sweat inside regular sweat to use as time bombs? Also, regular sweat? He can do that?! My Bull Crap Detector’s beeping, but there’s no other way for anyone to win against AFO. AFO is so overpowered, it’s gonna take a lot of B.S. to put the wanna-be Demon Lord down for good. And, hey, I’m getting tired of AFO, so let’s all agree to look the other way and move on.

What the…? This is what happens when Horikoshi doesn’t take his nap.

It Ain’t Easy Being Evil [My Hero Academia 408]

All For One only wants to rule the world. Is that so wrong?

Yes, it is. But, in any case, it’s great we finally got to see AFO’s origin. And, surprise surprise, he was always evil. Actually, I’d rather we gotten more focus on the OFA Users. AFO’s a one-note villain, but all the OFA Users seem interesting. Was Yoichi enjoying his life away from AFO? How did Kudo and Bruce meet? What the heck is Nana Shimura’s hero name?There’s lots of unanswered question that I think Horikoshi isn’t gonna answer this late in the series. Frankly, I would’ve loved an entire arc focused on AFO and the OFA Users.

AFO’s been hiding monsters up his butt all this time. No wonder he’s so grumpy.

Boss Baby [My Hero Academia 407]

All For One killed MHA’s Charles Xavier!

I’m talking about the then grown up Glowing Baby. That person was trying to unite humans and “mutants” under the banner of peace. And, from what little we learned, it was working. They were gaining more and more exposure and followers. Basically, AFO set the meta human/human peace movement back years, maybe even decades. All because AFO was jealous. Damn.

Are we to assume the Shigaraki Twins never had someone take care of them? That AFO came out the box, so to speak, with enough competence or instinct to survive from day one? Yeah, that’s a bit too much to swallow.

Normally, kids don’t start sapping their parents’ life force until they start asking questions.

Mad Men [My Hero Academia 406]

One For All flashback incoming?

Now’s the perfect time for Horikoshi to give us the full story on One For All’s creation, along with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd user’s history. I’m not exactly a fan of flashbacks in-between fights but I’m curious about OFA’s origin and the “dark times” when AFO ruled unopposed, so I’ll allow it.

I think he’s referring to Detective Conan, Bakugo.

Boom Goes The Dynamight [My Hero Academia 405]

Oh, so now you’re Mr. All Business, AFO.

It’s a little too late for that. Your “fun” with All Might wasted lots of time and damaged you enough to allow Eri’s Rewind to make you a child. Just how many more huge attacks can you take before you’re rewound out of existence? Answer: Just enough before Bakugo collapses from his injures.

Who’s “we”? No way am I helping. I’m still nursing a hangnail injury.

I Wish I May, I Wish I All Might [My Hero Academia 404]

Superpowered teamwork makes the heroic dream work!

Not much to say about this short chapter except I think we’re seeing how Sir Nighteye’s Foresight quirk can be countered: by wishes. A strong desire along with action to change fate can indeed change it. At least, that’s how I’m seeing it.

Bakugo’s right! Time for Deku to win against two overpowered supervillains. …Oh.
