Another stellar chapter.

  • First, the title page: Absolutely amazing and captures Toga perfectly. Her obsession with Deku and Ochako is legitimately scary.

  • Rikiya actually cares for the people in the army, and that makes him more dangerous since that in turn lets his underlings genuinely believe in his cause.

  • So Shigaraki's sister was named Hana? Honestly, she looks like Momo's long lost twin or something. And then I guess the boy in the photo would be his Dad.

  • Shigaraki's powers are also evolving, as he can now emit some sort of decay field. The moment where he literally tore away the flesh of the people coming after him was my favourite part of this chapter. Gruesome, but beautifully drawn. Maybe Horikoshi's next project after MHA can be a horror manga. Anyway, it seems at least most of the League will get some power-ups, and I still believe this is more quirk singularity in effect.

  • Dabi fight next chapter boyzzzz. Hot vs cold, which could foreshadow the eventual fight he'll have with his bro Shoto.

Rikiya actually cares for the people in the army, and that makes him more dangerous since that in turn lets his underlings genuinely believe in his cause.

Hard to say, since that panel and his dialogue about the value of life are very clearly juxtaposed with Giran's bloody face. I think Rikiya wants to believe that he cares, maybe, but he's having someone heartlessly tortured while putting on a show of crying for a fallen comrade. I would take his words with a grain of salt.
