AFO got smacked in the face by Gang Orca’s sound waves and shrugged them off, so I guess that’s a resistance to sound/paralysis? Thirteen actually managed to pull his attack down with Black Hole, and he seemingly overpowers the “Trajectory Changing” from Endeavor’s sidekicks. He might have a weakened, damaged vessel, but he’s still clearly well above everyone else here. Also seems he’s only doing things through sheer depression, no ego, no hatred, no fear, just melancholy and I guess sadness. Really has nothing going for him anymore, which I wonder is gonna play a part in the Vestige world with his quirks?
Also, like we briefly saw, Deku has the embers, and now he gets to stand and fight alongside everyone one last time. This final assault on AFO is gonna be cool asf, and Aoyama being the one to take his hand and pull him along to be there with them, even with his Quirk gone and still fading, is powerful.
Surprised AFO can even use his quirks considering Aizawa is there, but I guess that’s what having only one eye does. I’m sure he’ll have a clutch moment where he nulls AFO at a good time.
And yes, I think it’d be cooler to have Koichi’s hoodie but having it be the shirt of the civilian who originally hated and blamed him instead is more powerful.
All that’s left is to defeat AFO now, but I don’t think that Deku is ending this Quirkless. Now that we know he still has the embers, and especially since an echo of Tenko still exists, we’re not ending this without one last vestige world clash. The fact that Shinomori is also still around through Danger Sense gives even more credence to that, since I doubt we’re gonna get rid of AFO and never talk about how Shinomori is still alive in him.
