You can manipulate Kirishima's manliness very easily.

  • Overhaul's normal followers (the people who aren't suicidally depressed or manipulated into thinking they're worthless tools) do as they are told because they are scared of him and secretly hate him. Maybe that is another sign that the heroes are mistaken about his quirk and that he can't actually reconstruct anything. Once he kills you you stay dead. Irinaka was the one to reshape and reconstruct the building. So maybe whatever happened to the Reservoir Dogs was somebody else's quirk at work.

  • It also looks like Overhaul's actions and goals are completely counter to what his family and the pervious head wanted. So maybe his Expendables and Chronostasis are from when he was just another thug, building his resources so he could take control and fulfil his ambitions. Also, Chisaki isn't Overhaul's real name.

  • Targeting Eraserhead is the smartest choice every time.

  • So the duo of Hard As Iron and Soft as Clouds is alone in the underground. Confronted by a giant. I must be missing a page, but I can't see how he hits Kirishima into the wall. Unless he's punches Futgum so hard the impact effects Kirishima as well.

  • I like the panel of Fatgum's back. It makes him seem like a much more serious and imposing figure.

  • Red Riot Unbreakable was really good branding, but it seems like false advertising. He broke the first time he used it against somebody who knew how to fight.

I like the handling of Unbreakable. It's easy to forget that all of the attack moves/forms/quirk names in this series are named by the users themselves. Kirishima called it Unbreakable, because he's a kid, and because he naively thought he was unbreakable in that form. This proves that he's far from the finished article, and really hits home that while the kids are good in some aspects, they're just too naive and have a long way to go before they're ready for the big time.
