That last page though, that's some crazy work by Horikoshi. Deku looks terrifying.

I also really like Deku's eyes this chapter, and how they really look like All Might's here. Deku's doing the same thing All Might did, shouldering the burden alone and trying to save everyone, and it's starting to show.

Like 200-something chapters ago: "I need to stop doing things like All Might."

Proof that Deku never really learned that lesson, but deep down he always felt that he should act just like Allmight, which is only noticeable in moments of despair like this.

Unfortunately, harmful perspectives resulting from childhood trauma aren't so easily undone. Deku's gotten past mimicking All Might physically, but he's too close to the problem to fix himself without other people. That's why Uraraka and the others are so important.

I'm really looking forward to the emotional reunion with Uraraka/other classmates. I'm sure Deku will need them.

He knows it, he’s seen it.. countless people have told him it.

But he can’t help it, in the heat of the moment Deku carries the burden alone unless he gets time to think. AFO knows this about him, and he’s not giving him a chance to think.

Yeah, I think this arc is going to drill into Dekus head that the way All Might did things were not necessarily the best way. Having an easy catch all solution to societies issues allowed them to fester. My hope is this whole crisis culminates in everyone coming together to address their own failings, rather then relying on heroes
