Shigaraki’s at 75%.

…Okay, you can leave now.

What’s left to say? This was a super straight forward chapter, y’all. Endeavor and friends came backing up Mirko who managed to break the glass barrier containing Shigaraki. He’ll wake up incomplete, which paired with Aizawa, will help (most of) the heroes survive the fight. But, let’s be real, it’s gonna get real nasty once Shiggy wakes up. I’m keeping Crust on death watch. All that’s left to seal the deal is him announcing out of nowhere he’s retiring next month.

Why’s Aizawa there? No, I’m talking from a meta-perspective, not in-story. Will his quirk allow most of them to escape to fight another day, or will it be revealed Shigaraki can easily counter Aizawa? I hope it’s the latter. Let’s take Aizawa’s Erasure quirk off the table right now, removing any hope of it saving the day.

Where the hell do I start? You know what? Let’s start by giving props to Tokoyami and Endeavor, the ultimate wingmen.

Horikoshi, now you’re just being a troll, blacking out Dabi’s reveal like that. We all know he’s Toya. Stop milking that cow and tell us, damn it! Screw you! If you won’t tell us who he is, Hawks will. Well, he may if he doesn’t die first. He could be getting the Sir Nighteye treatment, dying from his injuries. In fact, put me down for Hawks dying BUT his recorder having Dabi’s confession on it. Remember that? Yeah, it’s gonna come into play eventually.

Dabi fooled me, y’all. I really thought he was all in with the League of Villains. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure he cares somewhat for the gang, but in the end, they’re a means to an end. That end being a world like what Stain envisions. That’s right, kiddies. Dabi’s still a Stain fanboy. What a reveal! I thought he simply dropped it, but no, Horikoshi was using it as Dabi’s motivation this whole damn time! Damn. Just…damn.

Horikoshi. How could you kill him? How could you kill Twice’s doubles, you fiend! Wait, you thought I was talking about the real Twice? Ahahaha!

He’s not dead.

*sigh* I’m been bouncing back and forth over whether Twice is dead since I first read this chapter days ago. Was his speech to Toga and Mr. Compress his dying words? Could Twice somehow survive and pull off a win for the Paranormal Liberation Army? Well…yes and no.

Hear me out. Hawks said it himself he’s very good at avoiding a person’s vitals when attacking if he wants. Check it out:

What is Hawks aiming for? Twice’s heart? Maybe, but I doubt it. His lung? Possible. Wherever Hawks is going for I’m thinking he went for a vital organ or something that would cause him to lose consciousness from it plus the damage he’s already received.

So, if I’m right, was it all a fake-out? Not really. Dead or not, Twice is down for the count, completing Hawks’ mission. All he has to do now is grab Twice and retreat. Twice may not be dead, be he won’t be doing much of anything for a long time.

We got confirmation Tokoyami can control Dark Shadow in the dark. Them and Kaminari. Hm, looks like everyone’s leveled up during the time skip. Time to step up, Sugarman! I wanna see you spouting Maya Angelou quotes while punching people in the face!

Calm down, Re-Destro fans! He’s not “weak”, he simply lost because one of his legs broke. The bigger question is if he can still fight? If not, then the Paranormal Liberation Front has lost one of their two greatest physical powerhouses at Gunga Villa. The other being Gigantomachia who’s watching Animal Crossing Twitch streamers on his phone. Looks like he’s not to be bothered even with the mansion above collapsing. Fat Gum reveals he won’t budge unless he’s got to use the bathroom or Shigaraki orders him to attack. And, let me tell ya, that guy can hold his bladder for days!

Chapter Music Recommendation 

Hawks hesitated to strike Twice with his feathers. Yet, he supposedly killed his colleague Best Jeanist. Riiiiight.

If that doesn’t convince you Best Jeanist is still alive, nothing will. Anyway, we’ve got a betrayed Twice in the front and an angry Dabi in the rear. Hawks has got himself smack in the middle of a beautiful I’m Screwed Sandwich. Extra spicy, of course.

My heart goes out to Twice. Here he is ass up alone in a room with Hawks, probably thinking some kinky fun’s about to go down, and then the number two hero drops the bomb that he’s been lying the whole time. So, now Twice has a broken heart and blue balls. Hawks, you jerk!

I really have to give props to Dabi for not only being smart enough to know Hawks betrayed to Paranormal Liberation Front, but not blaming Twice for it. You know what they say: Bros Before Birds.
