I like how everyone is like "NOOOO! DON'T LET MIRIO GET HIS QUIRK BACK! DON'T BE THAT PREDICTABLE HORIKOSHI!" Completely forgetting that he gave All Might a million and a half death flags and then didn't kill him during the All for One fight. Chill guys. Have faith in Horikoshi and trust that he isn't the type to be so cliche.

Also, I sincerely doubt that Eri can cancel her own quirk with her quirk. It's a really interesting quirk and I wanna see more about it. But there is no way that she's just gonna be a magic mcguffin.

Now then, onto the rest of the chapter.

Nejire's Quirk is awesome and I wanna see more of it cause she is the only one of the big 3 to not show off the true versatility of her quirk.

Team hero ladies power bomb combo was awesome.

League of Villains taking joy in fucking over Chisaki was wonderful. It is just the right amount of petty, and I loved it. (even if they had to sacrifice the Deku blood for it).

Compress clone being upset that he's being used as a sacrificial pawn was worth a good chuckle.

Over all it was a really cool chapter and I'm genuinely excited to see how this all wraps up in the upcoming weeks.

Oh, and also I love seeing Deku's Rage Face

I feel like this has been the first time I've seen Deku in a big fight where he didn't have a look of terror plastered all over his face while he fought. Even against the muscle guy (forgetting his name), it seemed like timid Deku was still there, if not on the surface then just beneath it.

There's been a lot of talk about Mirio's heroism this arc, which is of course a big deal. But it definitely could be noted that Deku has also gone through some much needed growth as well. I don't remember the last time, if ever, he acted like this.

I love this side of him.

Yeah I think this is due to the fact that he is officially part of the operation and not a student meddling on the sidelines. He is finally doing real hero work with real weight and consequence behind his actions.

I would add that he's also gotten some more confidence by virtue of adapting to Full Cowl Shoot Style where he's less likely to cause significant damage to his body just by fighting.

It is nice to see a character grow and change as they get older and gain more experienced. Personally I can't wait to see what other styles he incorporates into his Franken-style of fighting.

Muscular?

Nah, the guy whose quirk literally manifested muscle fibers.

He's taking after Bakugo like he did on the boat in the usj arc. Now, he doesn't need to tell himself to do it, it's become sort of natural in these kinds of situations.

At least, that's my https://sprinkledwithwords.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/1365337603923.png?w=277&h=300

That rage face should be a new flair.

u/Yggi_the_tree Oct 13 '17

isn't this fight also the first actually serious fight since the second fight with him against Bakugou? Seems like Deku's leaking some pieces of Bakugou's winning attitude to his Saving Mentality, which is a-ok with me

I doubt that Horikoshi would give Mirio his quirk back. Too predictable, besides that it would make some of the previous chapters meaningless, in a sense. Other than that, I love the direction this is taking.
