(Bakugo telling Kirishima about the fight later)
Ohhhhh yeah! That's that good shit! You just gotta love a battle chapter and this was pretty damn dope.
Loved how the chapter opened with Deku and Shiggy locked in combat ala All Might and All for One. We have an interesting group for this fight, with Deku, Bakugo, Endeavor, Gran Torino, and Aizawa vs Shigaraki. Aizawa's presence here is clutch as it allows Bakugo and Deku to be able to contribute at their currrent level. Beyond that, it's just nice seeing how precious Aizawa has become to the students and vice versa. I touched upon it last week too, but these moments with Aizawa has low key been some of my favorite parts of this arc. Really hope Eraserhead makes it through this
Action wise the choreography was not Hori's best but I think that's balanced out by the chaos of the battle and the fact the Hori still nails the key shots, like Endeavor and Shiggy rushing each other on page 7 or the epic explosion Bakugo produces on page 16.
Shigaraki just shrugged off AfO's influence like it wasn't shit. It was a cool moment but it seems way too easy to me, I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to it. Though I think rejecting being like AfO leads more credence to the idea that Shiggy will kill him at some point.
Of course Hori switched to the mansion just as we are getting to the hotness. Still, Giga vs Mt.Lady hype!
-Expecting Shoto to show up whenever we switch back to Deku/Bakugo
-Loved the small back and forth between Shiggy and Bakugo. Not on your radar, huh? Ok, you're still getting blasted
-How many times has Shiggy been baptized in fire this fight? Jeez
Can Mt. Lady hold off Giga? Will AfO try to assert his will on young Tomura once again? How long can Aizawa keep his eyes open?!? Find out next time on
