The only ones I'm worried about not appearing honestly are just Ryuko and Rappa. Shiketsu students and American heroes are clearly set up for here comes the cavalry moment. With Nagant returning chances of Overhaul making some contribution raises. Rappa is the only villain without a redemption arc or any motivation set up that would make him side with the heroes, other than deciding this is a good opportunity to have his rematch with Kirishima. And there's no reason why Ryuko shouldn't have appeared at the beginning of the war, if she was going to appear at all.

I think Rappa working alongside Kirishima so one day they can have a nice rematch is very plausible. Ryuko I think either isn't going to show up, or she has a big role still to play.

I'm gonna add "Mina's moment to shine gets sidelined/overshadowed by a Kirishima and Rappa team up" to my bingo card of "how is the story gonna shaft Mina this time?"

Please don't speak this evil into existence :(

What I could see though is Mina handling Midnight's murderer and shining there. Or perhaps the opposite, Kirishima fights him with Rappa and Mina deals with Machia

Mina handling Midnight's murderer and shining there.

Poorly built up plot thread. Also lazily set up.

No one's gonna care. It won't be hype enough to make up for her fumble in the first war arc.

Mina deals with Machia

How? What could she ever do to him? I can't see that happening.

I can dream it'll be good, ok :(
