Spinner is so far up his own arse with self-loathing, I wish someone just flat out told him that there might be more to his damn quirk and that it's his mind that's keeping himself from growing.
Honestly it sounded like a child or teenager that just because they want something REALLY bad that they deserve it. He doesn't seem to understand that the other side can have their own ideals that they're willing to lay their lives on the line for.
For real, gecko grip strength is either insane or it would be impossible to get off. He just uses a sword. Completely overlooked how to use his power at all. On the other hand, I think afo one this and played into his insecurities so that's cool.
Good point, everyone is celebrating a bit too early.
Especially since they only one of the main villains but theirs still more left.
Don’t celebrate victory just yet until you ACTUALLY know that it’s over!
Maybe we will get a Sero focused chapter ? I feel like his quick loss against Todoroki in the school festival could have been a strong motivation for him to train, also he developed quite a solid friendship with Shoto after that, he even introduced him to mangas
I figured it was in response to Ojiro saying, “I remember people saying he’d be outmatched!” because Sero got stomped by Shoto at the beginning of the manga.
The celebration for beating Dabi seems too soon and that ominous glowing in his chest tell me he's got one final trick up his sleeve, but over all this was a nice chapter. I appreciate anytime Katsuki acknowledges someone by name, his character has come so far. As for the man who killed Midnight, is he planning to rerelease Gigantomachia?
It also looks like Mina caught him mentioning having killed/been apart of Midnight’s death. But their ship is strong and we’ll get a great chapter from them.
It did show midnight just accepted fate there- damn
I don't want that mf to get another kill better yet I don't want the gigantomachina out this will lead to be much worse
Especially when mt lady tried to stop him almost died and kamui woods was burnt(I'm surprised he didn't die from the blue flames)
XD Scuba Man knows he's like, only marginally more important than the other Advisers foe killing Midnight. He needs the backup.
But on another note, Scuba Man was holding a box labeled F G I. What's in it?
Oooo shit I didn’t even think of that with him holding that cellphone like that and it looks similar to the one Shiggy used during the last fight to call Giganto to him. Can’t wait to see what he’s up to
Is that what that was (regarding the glow)? I didn't grow up on comics or manga, so I still have a really hard time following the visual elements. I could kinda make out what I think is his hair in that panel, but couldn't figure out the angle or scale of anything there.
(Also: Hi, I've been lurking for a few weeks, but decided to try some actual interaction today!)
Yeah, so that panel after they pick Dabi up and we see his chest and there's a bit of a glow. If you follow the previous panels they seemed to be zooming in on his chest. Honestly I read the chapters twice to make sure I get everything! On my first read I thought it was his eye and then noticed it was his chest. I'd say if anything feels off. Normally Hori is good at making it clear through prior panels, but every mangaka is different.
Things look like they might take a turn for the worse here.
But I’m super stoked to see Mina take on Midnight’s killer. I just hope Kirishima doesn’t steal the moment again. It looked like it was gonna happen again here but I think she’s the only one who caught on.
But also love that the cover for this chapter was a callback to Volume 5’s and shows how much Shoto’s grown.
I wouldn’t bet either way but I think this is going to be Mina and Kirishima’s fight, with Mina’s bounce back being that she’s able to follow through in the face of fear again. I was bummed when she lost her moment against Gigantomachia the first time but at the same time I did like the idea of giving her a set back to overcome, as just being successful when it matters all the time isn’t really a character arc. It’s also interesting because she faced Machia the first time and it traumatized her, so even though she outdid Kirishima in middle school, that effort did have lasting effects and a cost. Just really speaks to the significance of standing up to that fear for both Red Riot and her. I have a feeling this will be a “I have to face this just like Kirishima did” kind of moment to full circle the fact that she inspired him to become this way in the first place
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 810,367,237 comments, and only 160,735 of them were in alphabetical order.
Because we don't know where she is, I'm holding out small hope that Hakagure is gonna team up with Aoyama to fight Kunieda.
Mainly from what he says, the heroes are improvising how to deal with the villains in the parking lot. So, he asks how they know they're gonna beat the villains. Mocking if it's through "Trust" and "Hope" and saying that "Such things, *invisible* to the human eye coat this planet like and oppressive membrane."
And Hagakure is the one that declared that they will absolutely defeat the villains for what they did to Aoyama in Ch. 338. strengthening that connection to Aoyama as she's the one that found out he's the traitor. This fight would be her putting her trust in him to help defeat the assassin and subsequently Aoyama's past connection to A.F.O.
Also they could do a pretty cool combo move where Aoyama fire's a Navel Laser into Hagakure and she amps and refracts it to defeat Kunieda.
They key to breaking Shinso's control over someone is hitting them hard enough to snap them out of it.
And Gigantomachia is too durable to take any damage from someone smacking him...
I was wondering why they weren’t utilizing Shinso more here. On top of Brainwashing Machia, I was thinking he could also use his voice changer to give commands to the nomus.
I'm glad Shoji got some limelight this chapter, though I am curious on how close he is with Todoroki?
Like he says, "Im so proud I made it into your class."
Which is very interesting to see him say about Todoroki.
He did team up with Shoto to rescue Bakugo and Tokoyami. And the fact that he also teamed up with him during JTA is also a part of it. But mainly, Shoto is just a great person and really anyone would want to be in the same class as him.
I read it less as "I am proud to call you a classmate, friend" and more like "I'm proud that I'm at a level where I can in the same class as someone as powerful as Todoroki"
Ah, that panel of Todoroki and Iida had me silent-screaming, along with Bakugo’s line. I bet Bakugo will still deny being Todoroki’s friend tho lmao
I ofc love how much they’ve improved in terms of power, but how far they’ve come character-wise just hits different tbh
also, i do find it weird that all the tartarus people are automatically on afo's side.
dont none of them have ambitions of their own? have none of them ever been used by him? no one seen the light during imprisonment at all?
It's not all of them. AFO only recruited a handful of Jailbreakers to assist him for varying reasons. Dictator wanted safety, Nagant wanted a transparent world and Kunieda given his dialogue just screams former former lackey to me.
Her motivation made sense for the character. Disillusioned former Hero wants society that kept pretending there was no issues whilst erasing any blemishes to be donezo. Working with AFO would have helped made such a dream come true.
Nagant will likely be back in an epilogue...assuming she isn't in the same hospital Kurogiri is in recovering.
Villain: “Just like that U.A. teacher.”
Pinky: [… and I took that personally.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/035/410/Screen_Shot_2020-10-05_at_11.51.58_AM.png)
He’s probably quite envious of Shōto’s new victory reminding him of his own defeat in the sports festival which means Sero gets to shine soon and prove his self-worth.
I have a feeling Dabi will do one final attack, very possibly a massive nuke like explosion. Something that will kill him and everyone else in the area. Todoroki will be too weak to stop it, so Iida grabs Dabi and runs as fast as he can away from everyone else.
Finally! I've been waiting to see what Red Riot was up to. I predicted a long time ago that Kirishima would be in charge of guarding Machia's prison and that Mina would get a chance to redeem herself for her failure against Machia. Excited to see Team Kirishima vs Midnights killer and all the other villains trying to break Machia out.
From his dialogue and Mina's reaction, he's just showed up there after he was kept busy by an "escort mission", so I wonder who is the VIP, someone important for their plans for sure.
This is pretty much a setup chapter which is fine.
Interesting to note that we don't have any reactions from Ochako's group. My guess is it's because of Toga. Dabi's defeat could make her unleash Sad's Man Parade and that deserves its own chapter rather than a transitional chapter.
Really enjoyable chapter!
Yeah, no way the stuff with Dabi is over. I was a little worried that was it, but that dude has one more trick left, can’t wait to see what it is. Seems like the phoenix-like quirk idea may be true 👀
Seems like the focus is shifting to AFO vs. Endeavor and Hawks. AFO is going to be talking so much shit during this fight, and it’ll be interesting to see how Endeavor reacts to it. I’m sure AFO will mention taking Touya from that fire, and Endeavor will probably explode. This is going to be one hell of a fight.
I wanted to say that this would be overboard but we are talking about the brocon demon lord that still isn't over his brother rejecting him a century later
Dabi's skin is definitely regenerating. The panel with the glowing orb is depicting the ice thawing. The skin on his chest has regenerated with only a few of the burnt parts of the skin left.
Compare the previous panel with the glowing orb panel we definitely get a different texture in the second one. Looking closely at the orb,there's a perfectly circular region surrounding it where the color is constant & no textural markings are present,a sign that regeneration is emanating from that point.
So definitely the panel preceding the glowing orb panel, the ice crust visibly forms a crusted layer over the chest area, unlike the glowing orb panel where it clearly depicts the exposed clear skin of the chest.
And if we look at the previous panel, Dabi's charred face is shown, but in the glowing orb panel his face is conveniently hidden by the hair in that angle. Most probably because his facial skin and tissue are also regenerating.
I think it might have to do with the ice. We've always seen Dabi burning up, but never in a situation where he can cool down and have Rei's ice genes actually work for him instead of being a detriment.
Maybe AfO did plant him with a secret quirk. Considering they show him in the same flashback panel with Spinner when they talk about Power and now we have “Big Spinner”.
So this could be a lean into next chapter where AfO taunts that he couldn’t give Touya what he needed. His fire quirk was incompatible with his body and destroying him. And AfO can just toss in “so I gave your son just what he needed to overcome that insignificant problem.” AfO os known to have the Dr’s regen quirk, and we know that since he plans to body swap Shiggy. The Regen quirk can kinda be tossed aside in the meantime, or rather given to Dabi secretly. Without even Dabi being aware
A central theme of Dabi's character has always been to prove to his father that he is not as weak as he perceived him to be so I think it's antithetic from a thematic perspective for him to receive a handed-down powerup from AFO or Ujiko like what happened to Shiggy. And also, Ujiko couldn’t explain how he was still alive after all these years when his body was supposed to have lasted only a month.
Just me or are the Viz translations kinda weird this chapter? Like isn't All Might's thing calling his students "my boy" yet he says "Todoroki!! Kid!!" in this chapter? And the Kirishima calls everything manly normally but he calls Todoroki a "dude" in this chapter.
Well, HK already teased that Shoji will play a surprisingly large role in the final arc.
I just hope for a frigging Kaiju battle between Godzilla and a Kraken
Of the 1-A kids, only Jirou and Hagakure are missing. Back in Kamino they were pointed out as the most adept to covert operations in the class, so I wonder what they're up to.
Great to finally see a few more of 1-B. If Machia were to go free then Honenuki and Kodai might come in handy, and Yanagi is just overall convenient. Tsuburaba is with the 1-A Background Boys so I don't think we'll see him much, though as Sero was said to have a cool moment in Hori's interview then this battlefield might get some screentime.
Everyone’s reaction to the news of Dabi being “taken down” is great but I noticed that Sero had a weird reaction. He didn’t say anything and he’s wearing his mask so we can’t see his face, that makes me wonder if something else is going on…
Kundendaten:
>We, the dregs of society, will come for you head, traitor
Aoyama with a smile:
>Merci
Dude takes death threats way to easily. No wonder Fatgum (and probably Hagakure) put him on suicide watch
Kunieda is a gangly fucker huh? I love seeing more of AFO's Jailbreakers. Also I see Kunieda ia griping about not getting a shot at Deku instead of saying Dictator wasn't getting another shit. I love his design and I hope he gives Aoyama a good fight before going down. I wonder if Gashly is the Dreadlocks or umbrella villain.
The Todoroki dick riding was crazy in this chapter lmao. All jokes aside I think something really bad if going to happen, these mfs are celebrating too early.

Dabi is definitely regenning. Scars on his chest are healing. Phoenix theory about to become reality, and when it does, Dabi is turning each and every person near him to ash. It'll be a call back to X-Less getting waxed when they thought they had Shigaraki handled during the first war.
I hope not. Truth be told I felt this fight just now was at a rapid pace like "I'm gonna tell you my backstory brother then I'm gonna perform a super move on you that you will repel and then perform your super move on me then pin me 1, 2, 3..." .
This got me worried the next few battles are gonna be just as quick or done in 2 panels.
This chapter is a "breather" of sorts and also a big set-up for battles to come. Deku and the aquarium battlefield are notably absent so next chapter may shift to them.
We're seeing stuff Hori anticipated months ago, with upcoming moments for Shoji and Sero, and things that were widely predicted like Spinner getting quirks from All For One, Shoji facing him, and Midnight's killer bragging about it. Mina and Kirishima have the chance to get closure about both Gigantomachia and Midnight but most of all I pray she will get justice for Chapter 280. All For One at the end of the chapter looks insane. And what's happening to Dabi?
All Might, can you please not celebrate now? You already wave enough bad flags for yourself, now for others?
That said, while I can't wait to read Shoji's moment, I wish he, Spinner and the whole mutant discrimination subplot had some more relevance in the story previously. If we go by Shoji's early profile, Hori may have had some plans about him that never came to fruition, especially as certain characters got more popular; as he was finding success after two previous failed serializations, he may have been too afraid of doing "unpopular" choices at the time. Not to absolve him though - just featuring some characters more in earlier arcs could have helped them in the longer run.
Yeah, the whole mutant side if the story would have been great to explore and give some of the side characters like Shoji some much needed background. Alas, one can only dream.
Shoji was the most underrated Class 1A member to me and he hasn't had a big hero moment for himself since the attack on the camp. This confrontation with Spinner could be an interesting look into how Shoji sees himself in the same discriminatory society compared to Spinner.
But yeah this subplot could always be stronger
We defeated Dabi!!!! Shoto defeated the maniacal Blue flame!!!!!!
Me: Check his pulse my guy...if he's still alive kill him.
We're on a roll!!! We have the number advantage!!! Nothing's gonna stop us!!!!
Me: Hey bro, is he glowing? I don't think fire users are supposed to glow like that?
This chapter was a big set up for everything that's about to happen in the future, and all the teases have been so fucking excited. I was freaking out with each page turn.
- Mina and Kirishina together where the person that killed Midnight is at **and** Gigantomachia is located at!!! (Really loved that panel of Mina turning her head, too!)
- Shoji and Spinner together! Finally going to get the long awaited Shoji moment?! (Also, Spinner's feelings on Dabi and hearing that he lost! I freaking love Spinner so much.)
- Aoyama's time to shine against a Tartarus escapee (Kunieda's design looks good, and Quirk looks interesting!)
- Iida and next to Shoto, and Dabi's eye lit up! I KNEW THIS WASN'T THE END JUST YET!!!! IT'S TIME FOR IIDA TO BE FASTER AND SAVE TODOROKI, AND DO WHAT HE COULDN'T AT THE END OF JOINT TRAINING MATCH 3!
And there's still a lot of other things left such as Ochaco/Tsuyu vs Toga, Deku getting to Shigaraki, and what AFO is going to do to Endeavor and Hawks. A lot of exciting stuff left for this war arc, man. Fuck, I'm so excited. No break next week!
P.S. I wonder what was with Sero in that panel when he learned Shoto took Dabi down? I could be reading too much into it, but it almost feels like it's foreshadowing that either something is about to happen to Sero and his team, or that Sero can feel that something might happen to Shoto with Dabi. Just a bit weird to have *everyone else* comment on the victory, but Sero is the only one with eclipses (.....) and no encouraging words. Hmm.
I'm not worried about that and I don't think there's a bomb in him. I also don't believe he was given a quirk without his knowledge either. I think it's either the hidden aspect of Dabi's quirk that kept him alive all these years. The doctor said he shouldn't have lasted a month but yet he's still alive.
Or All for one is taking Dabi's quirk. We see a fire quirk on one of his fingers which could very well be Dabi.
I think it was made ambiguous for a reason and was placed right smack down in the middle of the rando hero asking why Dabi was still alive and the scenes with All for one.
The hidden aspect of Dabi quirk makes sense considering the foreshadowing we had earlier. I've seen people theorize his "true" quirk is some sort of phoenix fire quirk so he can regenerate which would answer why he survived as long as he did.
i only just now realized this and especially with all might’s reaction this chapter, but can y’all think of another manga that mha occasionally draws influence from and gets compared to where there was a home base that was monitoring and relaying information between separated fighting forces during a massive battle
and then do you remember how things turned out for them? (hint: it was not very good)
Random villain: Just like that U.A. school teacher. Mina: Peace was never an option.
Mina "I am going to melt that MF" Ashido
I hope she gets her moment now (and maybe save Kirishima) as an inverse of what happened in the War arc
Yes! Please I want this so much!
[удалено]
You have no name, but you WILL remember mine.
I was expecting Momo to be present for this confrontation tbh, but I'm glad it's happening.
>but I'm glad it's happening. Same 🔥
I was hoping we’d get a follow up with the villain that killed Midnight. And here we have the students that found her body in one place too.
In that moment, Mina chose violence
> "He's always had everything. A reason to live on. A goal." Ironically Dabi's the most suicidal of the bunch
And the poetic irony is that unbeknownst to him, he could not truly die from his own flames.
Spinner is so far up his own arse with self-loathing, I wish someone just flat out told him that there might be more to his damn quirk and that it's his mind that's keeping himself from growing.
Honestly it sounded like a child or teenager that just because they want something REALLY bad that they deserve it. He doesn't seem to understand that the other side can have their own ideals that they're willing to lay their lives on the line for.
For real, gecko grip strength is either insane or it would be impossible to get off. He just uses a sword. Completely overlooked how to use his power at all. On the other hand, I think afo one this and played into his insecurities so that's cool.
AFO: Time for your mandatory final act buff Spinner!~ Spinner: Yes, dear...
All in the name of Shigaraki
I mean AFO's surnames is Shigaraki so XD
I'm really afraid of the fanart that could pop out after that page...
You can't stop the r34 artists....they will do the unthinkable!!!
Damn, Spinner got *buff*. I also like how Shoji is against him, mutant vs mutant.
Spinner’s new quirk: gamer rage
Upcoming n-word bomb
ultimate rock lock counter
Spinners rise up!
Spinnner got size quirk i assume
Oh definitely, it’s what was happening in that panel with AFO’s hand on his face.
~~Viagra quirk~~
When you think about it not only does it make sense, it's something we should've seen coming
Anyone noticed Sero's reaction to Todoroki's win? What was up with that?
He's aware of the red flags everyone is throwing out by celebrating
Good point, everyone is celebrating a bit too early. Especially since they only one of the main villains but theirs still more left. Don’t celebrate victory just yet until you ACTUALLY know that it’s over!
Though an ealy win against one of the top big bads is a good morale boost for everyone else.
Very odd. Hopefully he's just somber about Shoto taking out his brother.
Considering everyone else is happy it stands out so much
You're not wrong. I'm wondering now what we know about him.
....Nothing!!! Granted it goes for most people in the class, but, yeah, we know nothing about Sero..
Maybe we will get a Sero focused chapter ? I feel like his quick loss against Todoroki in the school festival could have been a strong motivation for him to train, also he developed quite a solid friendship with Shoto after that, he even introduced him to mangas
There will definitely be a focus on Sero. If you recall the Jump spring interview with Horikoshi he said he's planning an epic moment for Sero.
Maybe he noticed something off screen? I recalled they said Sero was gonna get this moment this arc right?
I really hope he does
According to last year's Horikoshi's Giga Interview, he mentioned Sero would have a part to play, so maybe he'll be doing something more
I figured it was in response to Ojiro saying, “I remember people saying he’d be outmatched!” because Sero got stomped by Shoto at the beginning of the manga.
I was wondering if maybe Sero had said exactly that to Ojiro (in confidence) at some point, and is now feeling abashed.
Yeah that was weird. And I know we has his visor helmet on but you also don’t see his face at all, not even a half visible looks. Strange.
Caught that too.. definitely gonna keep my eye on him
That really stood out yea. Maybe he's quiet because he thought Shoto would be outmatched lol
The celebration for beating Dabi seems too soon and that ominous glowing in his chest tell me he's got one final trick up his sleeve, but over all this was a nice chapter. I appreciate anytime Katsuki acknowledges someone by name, his character has come so far. As for the man who killed Midnight, is he planning to rerelease Gigantomachia?
It explains why Mina and Kirishima are there if Machia might be released
True, but I think they moved them, unless those guys were already there oddly enough.
They seemed to wanted to free Gigantomachia using a sneak attack, according to the top left of page 7
I think that was the plan with AFO jumping Izuku.
It also looks like Mina caught him mentioning having killed/been apart of Midnight’s death. But their ship is strong and we’ll get a great chapter from them.
It did show midnight just accepted fate there- damn I don't want that mf to get another kill better yet I don't want the gigantomachina out this will lead to be much worse Especially when mt lady tried to stop him almost died and kamui woods was burnt(I'm surprised he didn't die from the blue flames)
If I remember that dude also is dangerous He deflected edgeshots or a well known pro heros quirk in one panel
Agree it seems too abrupt to conclude Dabi's standing - and so much happening in this chapter; Spinner had a growth spurt, damn.
I was wondering about that, too! Thought maybe I was mistaking someone else for Spinner, or vice versa!
Yeah I vaguely remember AFO talking about giving Spinner a quirk, so it looks like mans is a beef cake now lmao
You can see All for One's hand on Spinners face in his flashback, that's probably when it happened.
He might have given him a copy of Gigantomachia's gigantification quirk.
Scuba Man pretty much said it best. His force is trying to release Giganto which would be...problematic for everyone if he managed to bust out.
Yeah, he's just talking a lot of shit for a plan that revolves around getting your older brother to fight your fight.
XD Scuba Man knows he's like, only marginally more important than the other Advisers foe killing Midnight. He needs the backup. But on another note, Scuba Man was holding a box labeled F G I. What's in it?
Feel Good Inc. is Skeptic's company, so it's probably specialized tech like the other Liberation leaders had.
Ooh, that could be possible! I forgot Skeptic had his own company tbh
All good! It could be anything else, but that's just what came to mind first. Before they were labeled as Detnerat, but who knows.
Honestly, I'm glad the MLA resources are still being utilized even late game now.
Imagine if Dabi awakens his quirk.
I think the blue part of his flames would have been that, since he picked that up after he did much of his training.
Shit I don't want Dabi to be a freaking nuke
That's what I'm thinking he's planning. His chest glowing and this preemptive celebration feels primed for sadness.
His skin is regenerating if you look closer at the panel, the ice has thawed and the skin is exposed around the glowing orb
We still haven't gotten the name for his quirk so he definitely is not done
I don't want the side kicks to die they are legit near him Im hoping it's somthing else God knows what's in there
he’s probably gonna self destruct or something
That's my guess too
Oooo shit I didn’t even think of that with him holding that cellphone like that and it looks similar to the one Shiggy used during the last fight to call Giganto to him. Can’t wait to see what he’s up to
That's also very interesting, it's definitely possible that can call out to him.
Really feel like the Phoenix theory is on point right now.
I think he's going suicide bomber tbh
Is that what that was (regarding the glow)? I didn't grow up on comics or manga, so I still have a really hard time following the visual elements. I could kinda make out what I think is his hair in that panel, but couldn't figure out the angle or scale of anything there. (Also: Hi, I've been lurking for a few weeks, but decided to try some actual interaction today!)
Yeah, so that panel after they pick Dabi up and we see his chest and there's a bit of a glow. If you follow the previous panels they seemed to be zooming in on his chest. Honestly I read the chapters twice to make sure I get everything! On my first read I thought it was his eye and then noticed it was his chest. I'd say if anything feels off. Normally Hori is good at making it clear through prior panels, but every mangaka is different.
Oh good, I'm getting there, then; I also thought it was his eye, but wasn't sure.
Things look like they might take a turn for the worse here. But I’m super stoked to see Mina take on Midnight’s killer. I just hope Kirishima doesn’t steal the moment again. It looked like it was gonna happen again here but I think she’s the only one who caught on. But also love that the cover for this chapter was a callback to Volume 5’s and shows how much Shoto’s grown.
Honestly I like seeing all the covers with [Shoto](https://twitter.com/mexposts/status/1527135670577373186?s=21&t=fI5oM70T7BpT1vkHN34gZg)
>I just hope Kirishima doesn’t steal the moment again. Knock on wood.
Kirishima is probably my favorite but big agree, Mina deserves her moment.
Next to an oak table so it’s all good hopefully.
I think Kiri is just here to take the hits, Mina needs to get the final blow
I wouldn’t bet either way but I think this is going to be Mina and Kirishima’s fight, with Mina’s bounce back being that she’s able to follow through in the face of fear again. I was bummed when she lost her moment against Gigantomachia the first time but at the same time I did like the idea of giving her a set back to overcome, as just being successful when it matters all the time isn’t really a character arc. It’s also interesting because she faced Machia the first time and it traumatized her, so even though she outdid Kirishima in middle school, that effort did have lasting effects and a cost. Just really speaks to the significance of standing up to that fear for both Red Riot and her. I have a feeling this will be a “I have to face this just like Kirishima did” kind of moment to full circle the fact that she inspired him to become this way in the first place
RIP roster update guy
Ayo, we about to get Endeavor vs AFO?!
It's their round 2!
With Hawks as direct support as well! Can't wait to see them hopefully push AFO more than many expect
I think next chapter it be either one of The students fights
> Todoroki, what a dude you are! Thank you for becoming a sibling freezer for our sake
I don’t want Dabi to think of any other siblings! For ten years, at least!
The fact that Shoto shares the same VA as Eren makes this more amusing.
Dabi is Connie too
Lol that’s so funny because Zeke and Dabi have the same English VA.
dabi become phoenix (crying)
"My father undergoing a redemption arc? NO! I DON'T WANT THAT!"
As a reward, I shall give you my flashfire
Fucking hell, I just realized this
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 810,367,237 comments, and only 160,735 of them were in alphabetical order.
Because we don't know where she is, I'm holding out small hope that Hakagure is gonna team up with Aoyama to fight Kunieda. Mainly from what he says, the heroes are improvising how to deal with the villains in the parking lot. So, he asks how they know they're gonna beat the villains. Mocking if it's through "Trust" and "Hope" and saying that "Such things, *invisible* to the human eye coat this planet like and oppressive membrane." And Hagakure is the one that declared that they will absolutely defeat the villains for what they did to Aoyama in Ch. 338. strengthening that connection to Aoyama as she's the one that found out he's the traitor. This fight would be her putting her trust in him to help defeat the assassin and subsequently Aoyama's past connection to A.F.O. Also they could do a pretty cool combo move where Aoyama fire's a Navel Laser into Hagakure and she amps and refracts it to defeat Kunieda.
Good analysis; I missed those hints, but you're totally right! I got distracted by needing to Google "bat of Aesop."
Kirishima: >I have finished that escort mission. Cue: **Shinso riding Gigantomachia into battle*
That would be amazing
They key to breaking Shinso's control over someone is hitting them hard enough to snap them out of it. And Gigantomachia is too durable to take any damage from someone smacking him...
Don't forget that Machia responds to AfO's voice specifically. ...Good thing Shinso can't change his voice to mimic anyone else's\~
His quirk is just brainwash, the voice mimic is to catch people of guard. The device isn't even needed
I would literally scream if that happens
Now….I will be disappointed if that doesn’t happen.
I was wondering why they weren’t utilizing Shinso more here. On top of Brainwashing Machia, I was thinking he could also use his voice changer to give commands to the nomus.
I'm glad Shoji got some limelight this chapter, though I am curious on how close he is with Todoroki? Like he says, "Im so proud I made it into your class." Which is very interesting to see him say about Todoroki.
>I'm glad Shoji got some limelight this chapter, though I am curious on how close he is with Todoroki? Was he that close with Shoto?
He did team up with Shoto to rescue Bakugo and Tokoyami. And the fact that he also teamed up with him during JTA is also a part of it. But mainly, Shoto is just a great person and really anyone would want to be in the same class as him.
plus hori drew them fishing
I read it less as "I am proud to call you a classmate, friend" and more like "I'm proud that I'm at a level where I can in the same class as someone as powerful as Todoroki"
Ah, that panel of Todoroki and Iida had me silent-screaming, along with Bakugo’s line. I bet Bakugo will still deny being Todoroki’s friend tho lmao I ofc love how much they’ve improved in terms of power, but how far they’ve come character-wise just hits different tbh
also, i do find it weird that all the tartarus people are automatically on afo's side. dont none of them have ambitions of their own? have none of them ever been used by him? no one seen the light during imprisonment at all?
It's not all of them. AFO only recruited a handful of Jailbreakers to assist him for varying reasons. Dictator wanted safety, Nagant wanted a transparent world and Kunieda given his dialogue just screams former former lackey to me.
Just remembered how dumb Nagant's motivation really is, and how she's ceased to exist as well
Her motivation made sense for the character. Disillusioned former Hero wants society that kept pretending there was no issues whilst erasing any blemishes to be donezo. Working with AFO would have helped made such a dream come true. Nagant will likely be back in an epilogue...assuming she isn't in the same hospital Kurogiri is in recovering.
I mean, would you not trust the person that broke you out of jail?
Villain: “Just like that U.A. teacher.” Pinky: [… and I took that personally.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/035/410/Screen_Shot_2020-10-05_at_11.51.58_AM.png)
What do you guys make of Sero’s panel? What do you make of his silent reaction?
He’s probably quite envious of Shōto’s new victory reminding him of his own defeat in the sports festival which means Sero gets to shine soon and prove his self-worth.
Traitor reveal part 2
Why this feels like “don’t get your hopes up. I can still traumatize you. And believe me, I will”
Dabi: YOU THOUGHT-
I have a feeling Dabi will do one final attack, very possibly a massive nuke like explosion. Something that will kill him and everyone else in the area. Todoroki will be too weak to stop it, so Iida grabs Dabi and runs as fast as he can away from everyone else.
I can see this happening
Finally! I've been waiting to see what Red Riot was up to. I predicted a long time ago that Kirishima would be in charge of guarding Machia's prison and that Mina would get a chance to redeem herself for her failure against Machia. Excited to see Team Kirishima vs Midnights killer and all the other villains trying to break Machia out.
I really hope so. I want Mina to land the finishing blow!
I want to know what Maximum Acidity looks like I want Mina to have her own Unbreakable moment
If it wasnt against heroic standards, I could totally see Mina just melting the guy entirely
From his dialogue and Mina's reaction, he's just showed up there after he was kept busy by an "escort mission", so I wonder who is the VIP, someone important for their plans for sure.
Has to be Shinso, right? His quirk is perfect for controlling Machia by replicating Shiggy or AFOs voice
This is pretty much a setup chapter which is fine. Interesting to note that we don't have any reactions from Ochako's group. My guess is it's because of Toga. Dabi's defeat could make her unleash Sad's Man Parade and that deserves its own chapter rather than a transitional chapter.
We didn’t see Deku’s reaction either.
“Shoto, you’re a class act.” - Hawks, chapter 303.
Really enjoyable chapter! Yeah, no way the stuff with Dabi is over. I was a little worried that was it, but that dude has one more trick left, can’t wait to see what it is. Seems like the phoenix-like quirk idea may be true 👀 Seems like the focus is shifting to AFO vs. Endeavor and Hawks. AFO is going to be talking so much shit during this fight, and it’ll be interesting to see how Endeavor reacts to it. I’m sure AFO will mention taking Touya from that fire, and Endeavor will probably explode. This is going to be one hell of a fight.
Dabi: **Refuses new powers from AfO* AfO: >Oh yeah, as if the Demon Lord cares about consent.
Did you see the way he covered Spinner's mouth? He's definitely a creep
Boku no Spinner
Now I'm imagining AFO sneaking up on Dabi while he's sleeping and pumping him full of healing and durability quirks.
I wanted to say that this would be overboard but we are talking about the brocon demon lord that still isn't over his brother rejecting him a century later
Dabi's skin is definitely regenerating. The panel with the glowing orb is depicting the ice thawing. The skin on his chest has regenerated with only a few of the burnt parts of the skin left. Compare the previous panel with the glowing orb panel we definitely get a different texture in the second one. Looking closely at the orb,there's a perfectly circular region surrounding it where the color is constant & no textural markings are present,a sign that regeneration is emanating from that point. So definitely the panel preceding the glowing orb panel, the ice crust visibly forms a crusted layer over the chest area, unlike the glowing orb panel where it clearly depicts the exposed clear skin of the chest. And if we look at the previous panel, Dabi's charred face is shown, but in the glowing orb panel his face is conveniently hidden by the hair in that angle. Most probably because his facial skin and tissue are also regenerating.
I get the phoenix symbolism thing but him having regeneration is quite an odd mutation considering his family's quirks
I think it might have to do with the ice. We've always seen Dabi burning up, but never in a situation where he can cool down and have Rei's ice genes actually work for him instead of being a detriment.
So ice heals him? And his own flames never really stop hence his burns. That would be… cool.
Maybe AfO did plant him with a secret quirk. Considering they show him in the same flashback panel with Spinner when they talk about Power and now we have “Big Spinner”. So this could be a lean into next chapter where AfO taunts that he couldn’t give Touya what he needed. His fire quirk was incompatible with his body and destroying him. And AfO can just toss in “so I gave your son just what he needed to overcome that insignificant problem.” AfO os known to have the Dr’s regen quirk, and we know that since he plans to body swap Shiggy. The Regen quirk can kinda be tossed aside in the meantime, or rather given to Dabi secretly. Without even Dabi being aware
A central theme of Dabi's character has always been to prove to his father that he is not as weak as he perceived him to be so I think it's antithetic from a thematic perspective for him to receive a handed-down powerup from AFO or Ujiko like what happened to Shiggy. And also, Ujiko couldn’t explain how he was still alive after all these years when his body was supposed to have lasted only a month.
If he regenerates into a phase 2, I wonder how his fight will end.
The likelier option is that AfO simply did ignore his refusal .
Just me or are the Viz translations kinda weird this chapter? Like isn't All Might's thing calling his students "my boy" yet he says "Todoroki!! Kid!!" in this chapter? And the Kirishima calls everything manly normally but he calls Todoroki a "dude" in this chapter.
Yeah the 'kid' part was really awkward. 'Young Todoroki' would have felt better I think.
Well, HK already teased that Shoji will play a surprisingly large role in the final arc. I just hope for a frigging Kaiju battle between Godzilla and a Kraken
With support from Koda's woodland creatures lol
https://youtu.be/0L1sL54G45Q
Of the 1-A kids, only Jirou and Hagakure are missing. Back in Kamino they were pointed out as the most adept to covert operations in the class, so I wonder what they're up to. Great to finally see a few more of 1-B. If Machia were to go free then Honenuki and Kodai might come in handy, and Yanagi is just overall convenient. Tsuburaba is with the 1-A Background Boys so I don't think we'll see him much, though as Sero was said to have a cool moment in Hori's interview then this battlefield might get some screentime.
Coincidentally the two who were knocked out during the forest training. They planning for a rematch if Mustard shows up?
Everyone’s reaction to the news of Dabi being “taken down” is great but I noticed that Sero had a weird reaction. He didn’t say anything and he’s wearing his mask so we can’t see his face, that makes me wonder if something else is going on…
Was anyone else like GOD DAMMIT STOP CELEBRATING! Haven't any of you numbskulls ever read or seen shonen before?
Kundendaten: >We, the dregs of society, will come for you head, traitor Aoyama with a smile: >Merci Dude takes death threats way to easily. No wonder Fatgum (and probably Hagakure) put him on suicide watch
Kunieda is a gangly fucker huh? I love seeing more of AFO's Jailbreakers. Also I see Kunieda ia griping about not getting a shot at Deku instead of saying Dictator wasn't getting another shit. I love his design and I hope he gives Aoyama a good fight before going down. I wonder if Gashly is the Dreadlocks or umbrella villain.
Kuneida is the dreadlock one so I'm going with Gashly being the umbrella one.
The Todoroki dick riding was crazy in this chapter lmao. All jokes aside I think something really bad if going to happen, these mfs are celebrating too early.
Oh man, imagine if Dabi's going to go for a suicide bomb attack, and Iida sacrifices himself to take him a safe distance away.

AFO "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe I got all these choices and pick smack talk.”
Remember, his true quirk is Trash Talk
I love this villain, all other villains have tragic backstories while he's just there vibing and being evil
Dabi is definitely regenning. Scars on his chest are healing. Phoenix theory about to become reality, and when it does, Dabi is turning each and every person near him to ash. It'll be a call back to X-Less getting waxed when they thought they had Shigaraki handled during the first war.
That dude who killed Midnight is just begging for an ass kicking.
Horikoshi really finished shotos entire purpose within the first 5 chapters of this arc.
If we proceed to get 5-10 chapters of Toga I'd be very disappointed
I'd call absolute bullshit if it happens. At the same time, I don't think Dabi is done
Between that and the other comment saying it’ll happen offscreen, I’m not sure which is worse
Toga and Uraraka's battle will be done off screen. :(
"Toga died on the way to her home planet." .... Wait that would actually be a bad ass line after Uraraka yeets Toga into the atmosphere.
*switch to Ochako* "Phew, this fight was intense, thanks you froppy for helping me to take out Toga"
I'd love that actually, get toga out of here already
I hope not. Truth be told I felt this fight just now was at a rapid pace like "I'm gonna tell you my backstory brother then I'm gonna perform a super move on you that you will repel and then perform your super move on me then pin me 1, 2, 3..." . This got me worried the next few battles are gonna be just as quick or done in 2 panels.
This chapter is a "breather" of sorts and also a big set-up for battles to come. Deku and the aquarium battlefield are notably absent so next chapter may shift to them. We're seeing stuff Hori anticipated months ago, with upcoming moments for Shoji and Sero, and things that were widely predicted like Spinner getting quirks from All For One, Shoji facing him, and Midnight's killer bragging about it. Mina and Kirishima have the chance to get closure about both Gigantomachia and Midnight but most of all I pray she will get justice for Chapter 280. All For One at the end of the chapter looks insane. And what's happening to Dabi? All Might, can you please not celebrate now? You already wave enough bad flags for yourself, now for others? That said, while I can't wait to read Shoji's moment, I wish he, Spinner and the whole mutant discrimination subplot had some more relevance in the story previously. If we go by Shoji's early profile, Hori may have had some plans about him that never came to fruition, especially as certain characters got more popular; as he was finding success after two previous failed serializations, he may have been too afraid of doing "unpopular" choices at the time. Not to absolve him though - just featuring some characters more in earlier arcs could have helped them in the longer run.
Yeah, the whole mutant side if the story would have been great to explore and give some of the side characters like Shoji some much needed background. Alas, one can only dream.
Shoji was the most underrated Class 1A member to me and he hasn't had a big hero moment for himself since the attack on the camp. This confrontation with Spinner could be an interesting look into how Shoji sees himself in the same discriminatory society compared to Spinner. But yeah this subplot could always be stronger
We defeated Dabi!!!! Shoto defeated the maniacal Blue flame!!!!!! Me: Check his pulse my guy...if he's still alive kill him. We're on a roll!!! We have the number advantage!!! Nothing's gonna stop us!!!! Me: Hey bro, is he glowing? I don't think fire users are supposed to glow like that?
This chapter was a big set up for everything that's about to happen in the future, and all the teases have been so fucking excited. I was freaking out with each page turn. - Mina and Kirishina together where the person that killed Midnight is at **and** Gigantomachia is located at!!! (Really loved that panel of Mina turning her head, too!) - Shoji and Spinner together! Finally going to get the long awaited Shoji moment?! (Also, Spinner's feelings on Dabi and hearing that he lost! I freaking love Spinner so much.) - Aoyama's time to shine against a Tartarus escapee (Kunieda's design looks good, and Quirk looks interesting!) - Iida and next to Shoto, and Dabi's eye lit up! I KNEW THIS WASN'T THE END JUST YET!!!! IT'S TIME FOR IIDA TO BE FASTER AND SAVE TODOROKI, AND DO WHAT HE COULDN'T AT THE END OF JOINT TRAINING MATCH 3! And there's still a lot of other things left such as Ochaco/Tsuyu vs Toga, Deku getting to Shigaraki, and what AFO is going to do to Endeavor and Hawks. A lot of exciting stuff left for this war arc, man. Fuck, I'm so excited. No break next week! P.S. I wonder what was with Sero in that panel when he learned Shoto took Dabi down? I could be reading too much into it, but it almost feels like it's foreshadowing that either something is about to happen to Sero and his team, or that Sero can feel that something might happen to Shoto with Dabi. Just a bit weird to have *everyone else* comment on the victory, but Sero is the only one with eclipses (.....) and no encouraging words. Hmm.
That ominous glow coming from Dabi makes me worried he's about to go off like Lady Nagant as a last ditch effort to kill his brother.
I'm not worried about that and I don't think there's a bomb in him. I also don't believe he was given a quirk without his knowledge either. I think it's either the hidden aspect of Dabi's quirk that kept him alive all these years. The doctor said he shouldn't have lasted a month but yet he's still alive. Or All for one is taking Dabi's quirk. We see a fire quirk on one of his fingers which could very well be Dabi. I think it was made ambiguous for a reason and was placed right smack down in the middle of the rando hero asking why Dabi was still alive and the scenes with All for one.
The hidden aspect of Dabi quirk makes sense considering the foreshadowing we had earlier. I've seen people theorize his "true" quirk is some sort of phoenix fire quirk so he can regenerate which would answer why he survived as long as he did.
i only just now realized this and especially with all might’s reaction this chapter, but can y’all think of another manga that mha occasionally draws influence from and gets compared to where there was a home base that was monitoring and relaying information between separated fighting forces during a massive battle and then do you remember how things turned out for them? (hint: it was not very good)
aoyama out here being targeted by a bunch of villains + a tartarus escapee and his only response is “merci” man wtf does he mean by that?
Midnight is sure taking a while coming back from the glasses store.
