Not only does Katsuki Bakugo win Japan’s recent My Hero Academia Popularity Poll, but his official hero name is revealed. And, that’s not all…

It’s safe to say Bakugo’s having a great week for someone impaled by Super Shigaraki several chapters ago. #1 in Shonen Jump’s My Hero poll for the fifth time and we learn his hero name is Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. It’s a dumb name but I’m guessing everyone will just call him Dynamight so just going by that I like it.

There’s another interesting development for Bakugo this chapter: He’s focused on saving people and not winning. Remember, his thing was “fight to win” while Deku was “fight to save”. Well, when attacking the Near High-Ends, Bakugo remembered how powerful his explosions were when saving Deku several chapters earlier. He’s now realized first hand to strength that can be drawn from an intent to save. Sure, Deku has leveled up but Bakugo is right on his heels. Don’t count the overrated brat out yet. He’s still got a lot more room for growth!

We have confirmation Eri did indeed heal Mirio with her Rewind quirk. Good job, Eri! Have fun getting kidnapped. What? I’m just saying Eri’s too powerful even with having to store up power before using her quirk for big projects. She’s way too temping a target for the Paranormal Liberation Front. Especially, with Doctor Ujiko captured by the heroes. If they want erasure bullets they’re gonna need a lab to replicate a bullet or Eri herself.

This is one hell of a roller coaster!

This arc one twist and turn and reveal after another. Now, we’ve got one more: Lemillion is back.

Still no Wash, but we got the next best thing. With Lemillion’s return it’s hard seeing the League doing much to stop him. I would say it’s time for the League of Villains to escape but every time I do something else happens. Could the League actually be captured this arc? Would Horikoshi surprise everyone and go down that route? …Nah! The League’s still endgame enemies. They aren’t getting captured until the final arc.

So, how did Lemillion get his quirk back? Eri, probably. Yeah, no shock there. But, here’s another question: When did she do it? Was it during the time skip by a trained Eri and Mirio kept it secret to surprise everyone? Was it while the battle was going on and Mirio decided to risk getting erased by Eri’s power to save everyone? And, how did he get to Team Deku so fast? I don’t know the answers but this chapter has officially put Eri fixing Deku’s arms on the menu.

If you do not tell the whole truth, you can mislead people just as if you tell them an outright lie. -proverb

That being said… Bravo, Dabi! You, Sir, have joined Super Shigaraki and Gigantomachia in completely destroying Japan’s absolute trust in their current hero society forever. As if the confession and DNA test wasn’t enough, you recorded Twice’s death! I freaking forgot about you having some sort of device in your possession back at Gunga Villa. Oh, Hori, you lovable scamp. You sure do love dropping clues to future plot reveals. It’s just one of the reasons why I love you (Call me!).

Did you notice that little flashback was in Endeavor’s POV, y’all? That’s right. Hori was nice enough to give us a little taste, but the real meat and potatoes will be shown once we see everything from Toya’s POV. It’ll pick up right after Toya’s fire quirk started hurting him and will, hopefully, include how he survived the fire at Sekoto Peak (No doubt in my mind Toya continued training his quirk in hopes Daddy Endeavor would accept him again.).
