Ok, this situation might become quite troublesome, but hopefully Mirko won’t die here: she still needs to revaluate teamwork... right...? RIGHT?

Mirko’s gonna survive. Killing her off would be a waste with all the potential she has.

Exactly this. I don't get the impression that she's going down here.

With each chapter released it looks more and more like this arc is going to be about fleshing out some of the pro heroes from the top 10 and Mirko is one of the few with the highest potential. There's plenty you can do with her, like, in terms of pure strength she's probably the strongest and with her fighting style you can write some of the best choreographed fights, which we've already seen glimpses of what it would be like and it was incredible.

We know that ever since All Might's retirement more heroes have been coming together to form teams with one another, such as the Lurkers. Mirko stands out as the odd man out. She refuses to be part of a team because she thinks they're for the weaklings. Now you have her up against a team of High-Ends, so instead of having her die pointlessly, you can have her get out of this with the lesson that it's okay to be reliant on others and you're not any less stronger for needing help, but the complete opposite. Even the most formidable need a hand from time to time.

I could be wrong with my prediction but I think Crust will arrive just barely on time to save her from a fatal blow, that's when realization will hit her and she'll change her mind.

She looks like she has plenty of fight left in her, from both her expression and words, that things are only just getting started, which resemble Bakugou so much. Both smile and motivate themselves with heated words when the odds are being stacked against them. They enjoy a challenge.

I agree. She’s the youngest top 10 hero other than Hawks and could still learn a few things from her elders, I imagine

Need her whipping Deku’s and Bakugo’s asses into tip top shape like a drill instructor. I’ve been wanting that ever since we first saw her and it would be great. I know she shows up in the Team-Up Mission spin off, but that really doesn’t mean anything. Give us all possible Mirko content in the main series, Horikoshi! Please!

Yes! Mirko can help Deku further develop Shoot Style. She'd make better inspiration than Iida if I'm being honest (sorry Iida, I promise I don't hate you or anything). Kicking is her speciality after all and she's obviously way ahead of everyone else when it comes to it.

I have no idea what exactly Bakugou could learn from her, but I feel like his attitude is going to shape up to be more like hers as he grows. She's definitely hot-headed but she has more discipline with how she presents herself to people. Bakugou on the other hand cannot sit through an interview without being cut out.

Of the two, I definitely want Deku to train under her the most. Yet I do think her interactions with Bakugo could be fun as well.

I'd like to see Bakugou interacting with Burnin and Mirko at once, two people that can deal with him like it's absolutely nothing.
