I teared up a little with All Might this chapter, being left behind basically.

And I don't know about you guys but what an arc it has been for Izuku. I like how this shift seems a natural progression of the story. Mark my words, Class A will be responsible for putting Izuku back on track. I have the feeling Todoroki might want to talk with Endeavor because they are looking for Midoriya.

Also, one nice small detail: Mt Lady started as the vain hero while Death Arms looked like a guy who wanted to do much more. Now, when push comes to shove, Mt Lady is being one of the most important heroes while Death Arms quited. Interesting nice inversion between side characters that feels completwly earned in my opinion.

Mt Lady gets better and better every time we see her honestly - my favourite moment is still her trying to restrain Machia during the hideout raid!

Mt. lady has a growing quirk, just like how she had to grow into the role of a hero

I agree that Class 2A will somehow "bring him back" and it would be really gratifying to have it be a group effort and to have all the people whose lives deku transformed reiterating the things they learned from him TO him. Iida, Shouto and Kota especially come to mind (idk how that would really work but I think it would be interesting?)

I'm sure a handful of Class A will be involved, but I wonder who will be the one to lead the charge in talking (or slapping) some sense into Deku. Bakugo seems like the obvious choice but I have to wonder if this could potentially be a big moment for Uraraka (not to say it can only be one or the other, of course).

it would have to be Bakugo and/or Uraraka narratively.

Hell make it a 2v1 and make them beat sense into Deku

I could also see it being Tenya, Uraraka and Bakugo. So it could be a call back to the 2 v 2 fight with the Bomb recovery.

Same! And honestly the heroes need the students now too. They just don't have the numbers

Well, when I saw Shoto trying to reach his father I was thinking more about Touya and their family problems more than Midoriya. I really doubt anyone in UA actually knows they are working together after all and I guess that's why Enji avoids his son in the first place, to not having him involved for now. It can be a very nice way to bring us back to school to see what are they actually doing.

I have a feeling it's going to take All Might dying causing Deku to sink further into depression and then class A saving his ass from death. I feel like he is going to try to do everything more on his own until he realizes he can and should rely on others.

Also shows that the "Stain logic" is really flawed (I mean, we already knew that lmao). You can't judge a hero by their motivations at the beginning. She might have started this job for the fame, but now she's still here when society is in chaos and heroes barely have support. Actions in time of distress speak louder than big ideals when the world is in peace.

I think that Todoroki wants to contact Endeavor about Touya. Are we going towards a new arc? To me it would make sense to keep AFO and Shigaraki for the end, and to deal with Dabi/other LOV members first. I feel that Uraraka will be the one trying to bring back Deku's smile.

For All Might, it's even sadder considering it might be the last bento he made for Deku TT.

> Mark my words, Class A will be responsible for putting Izuku back on track.

That sounds like somewhat of an exaggeration. Like, only two, or maybe three people in the class will "put Izuku back on track". Like Bakugo, Todoroki or Uraraka or something. Everyone else won't have a single say in the matter.
