Dabi not dead just detained, and an orb on his chest starts glowing when Shoto turns his attention away from him, when Dabi thinks about “why he is still alive”. Easiest set up out there, I don’t even need to say anything. That is what we call “early judgement” ladies and gents, Shoto hasn’t won shit but a timeout before Dabi goes plus ultra on his ass and everyone else. Whether AFO snuck a quirk on him just in case he was defeated or he’s awakening, doesnt matter, he’s about to go super saiyan.
And there’s more battlefield’s that weren’t initially shown! We’ve got one at Jaku Hospital, one at the Provisional License Exam area (Takoba Stadium) and one at the Central Hospital. That’s a total of like 8 battlefields going on right now, almost double what we initially thought. VERY wide spread war.
Ashido and Kirishima are at Jaku and it’s also where Machia is being held captive. Who could have POSSIBLY guessed that Machia would be in the FINAL GOD DAMN FIGHT of the manga. I swear, the pessimism towards this final battle has been off the god damn charts. Also the guy that killed Midnight is there so we can see some vengeance for her from the students. Main thing from here is that Machia might wake up which will be very ****** up and could resolve Ashido and Kirishima’s arcs. Also Mt. Lady is there.
Takoba Stadium has Sero, Sato and others but not much else other than Sero looking worried. Wonder what they’re going to fight?
In the parking lot with Fat and Aoyama is another AFO hit man who says the villains will be going to kill Aoyama. The design of the hit man, Kunieda, is really cool too. Looks like an interesting battle over there.
Central Hospital though has SHOJI VS SPINNER BABY LETS GO. And Spinner is a giant and seems amped to hell, I’m talking GIANT SPINNER. He doesn’t believe Dabi has been defeated either, and has accepted new quirks from AFO due to believing fully in his role of helping Shiggy. He’s commanding mutant Liberation Front soldiers and is going hard af. Props to the real goat underdog of the villains, and I can’t wait to see the dichotomy of Shoji and him.
AFO is back and he’s showing off some new quirks a little bit, probably set up for next chapter where he actually fights. He has separate quirks active on each of his fingers. One seems like some flame and another moon blades? A face growing out of another, rivets from another and some kind of goop. I think he’s about to start flexing his new toys on Endeavor, who he is taunting in classic AFO fashion.
All in all another set up chapter but it’s set up A LOT. Like way more. We’re about to see a ton of fights on a lot of fronts from a lot of characters, and many characters still haven’t even shown up yet on both sides. Not to mention we’ve still got the already established battlefields like UA and with Ochako going on.
This war is shaping up to be something crazy indeed.
