So. I spotted the Siberian Tiger from Oumegadaki. Was he on a previous chapter?

Vigilantes is out.
! I dunno why they keep squeezing in this weird love narrative on Koichi. He never seemed interested and Pop was annoying Tsundere with him. He seemed to see her as a little sister.

Vigilantes 73 link
And, there goes Pop's (and probably The Crawler's by association) reputation. The police is gonna be looking for them in a bad way. Really hope that's Knuckleduster at the end and not No. 6.

I think the problem is we don't know what exactly their relationship is since the time skip. Pop's always had a crush on him but it seems like Koichi never thought about it much until recently. He's been trying to talk to Pop about it but she kept changing the subject. Doesn't help that Koichi is the type who doesn't notice when someone likes him. But, I never saw them having a sibling relationship, just a general friendship/partnership.

! I want to believe Hawks when he says he'd be willing to help Twice turn himself around further down the line.
"Good guy dutifully stopping the bad guy but still sympathizing with or understanding them" always gets to me as a concept.
Like when Deku stopped Gentle.
! Hawk's facial expressions hurt my confidence though,
I'm getting a sense that he's lying and just doesn't want to waste his feathers too quickly on a fight he can avoid.
Poor Twice :( -
I think that Hawks really wanted Twice to give himself in and that he would have helped him getting a new start, he understands that Jin is a kind person that sadly found friendship in a terrorist organization. At the end of the day Twice is still someone that will help Shigaraki kill lots of people, so Hawks will most likely make the choice of killing him as much as he may like the man.
Some people believe that Hawks may join the league, but I see him betraying or exposing the hero comission, also making public Twice and other villains backgrounds so society realizes that some villains are created by their own society. I don´t mean that those villains are free of guilt, but defeating them without correcting the societal failures that created them seems cheap and it happens a lot in fiction.

Like the good ol' Bats from BTAS.

Exposing the hero commission about what exactly? None of the villain's backstories have anything to do with them except maybe Dabi if he's Toya and they know about Endeavor's crap and they helped hide it. But that's a lot of assumptions.

They did make Hawks a child soldier, that’s the thing we know so far.

The hero commision choosing Hawks career and training from young age seems a little excesive, kinda like recruiting soldierS and training them at age 9. Aside from that, the ones that asigned Hawks his mission gave him permission to let civilians die so the league would trust him, I undertand the reasoning, but it´s a little overkill and Hawks was able to get in the league without doing that.
And I didn´t want to relate the villains backstories with the comission, but with the whole super-hero society as a whole. For example, the education that kids get about their quirks seems to have failed with Bakugou and Toga. The first has a power suited to be heroic, so they let him take pride on it and so he became full of himself (Bakugou could have ended like Endeavor without the proper company) With Toga, instead of finding a healthy way of letting her use her quirk, both his parents and the education system make her feel like a freak, so she bottled up everything inside her until she couldn´t anymore. Curious could have been a nutjob, but I don´t think she was wrong about why Toga turned out they way she did.
And Spinner became a shut-in because of literal quirk based racism, hell, Deku got a good amount of it too (though Hori addmited that he made Bakugou too extreme at the start)
-
Poor Twice, he just needs a hug.
-
Twice is gonna rain hell on Hawks and everyone was right about Dabi heading straight for Hawks. I really like that moment with Dabi not blaming Twice for what happened. I just can't get enough of the LoV's friendship.
There's a ton of people in that assembly hall. Re-Destro going nuclear on the heroes will be a sight to see. This battle ain't over yet.
-
Well, Hawks is Dabi’s fault under twice’s logic.
-
Yeah, but it wouldn't have mattered if Hood killed Endeavor and Hawks, so it's Hood's fault.
-
Twice is really the only villain I care about. I just want him to be safe

I agree and patiently wait for the return of The Gentle Hero.

Gentle vs Gigantomachia.

I wonder how much heroes will lose in this battle.

Probably a bunch of no names. And maybe one top 10 hero.

Hawks is a dead man walking, Endy is in for some serious suffering with Touya/Dabi situation, Miruko and Crust are dead as soon as Shigi awakes. Whoever tries to fight Machi is probably dead too.

Horikoshi ain't gonna go from killing one important hero in 250 chapters to suddenly massacring everyone.
I dunno why people always expect that in every manga war arc when it never actually happens.

Indeed. Those things happen in short series or in something like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure because of the series being split in parts with new casts every time.
-
I mean someone besides MADDOG Fujimoto has to have the balls to make big confrontations have big consequences.
! And by the spoilers Icarus just met the Sun. How the new Plato man deal with Twice and Dabi now.
-
Seeing the Festival bit animated and with sound as really something.
-
Yeah, it was great. An emotionally powerful episode, especially the shadow of Overhaul fading from Eri. My only nitpick is I wish the concert and play were longer.
And, now we'll see if Bones can squeeze the Pro Hero Arc in the final 2 or 3 episodes.

I want the lyrics to Jiro's song, they were in english but due to all the others sound effects I couldn't understand half of it.
It's probably gonna end in Hood's appearance or his initial attack. -

There were a frustrating number of great details that got skipped over due to time constraints. For instance, Mineta and Sero helping to build the ice platforms or Kaminari doing a mid-air guitar solo. A character moment was also missed early on with Hound Dog: he takes a beat to consider things before responding to Snipe, which shows he understands the situation quite well and is underreporting it to save the festival.
If only we didn't have a filler episode early on to take up some crucial breathing space.

! Damn Hawks was out for blood. Twice doesn't deserve this. Protect Best/Worst Boy.
-
Probably the only time I've enjoyed Dabi being around.
-
It's too silly that someone so careful can get so easily surprised. But sure, carry on.
-
Never thought I'd see Dark Shadow stopping Re-Destro. If RD doesn't have backup legs he's pretty much sidelined.
I was cheering for Dabi. I really thought Twice was gonna die. If he's not overly injured, he'll gonna unleash hell on the heroes.
-
Re-Destro has fallen so hard.
-
It was nice having a chapter focus on 2 characters I quite like.

I knew too much talking would get Hawks. Plus we saw Dabi coming.
I'm not sure what he can do against Dabi. He fights with feathers.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
It's too silly that someone so careful can get so easily surprised. But sure, carry on.
He was on the ground in the middle of finishing of Twice in a isolated corner of the base and didn't see the giant blast of fire coming. You can be careful and not be Aizen.

Like I've been saying Hori build to much the villains to suddenly make them behave like utter buffoons. The Monarch was destroying city blocks against Shigi, no matter how strong Dark Shadow is in the dark, he shouldn't be dealt this wait.
I can't wait for Dabi to deal with this rat. -
A tough painful chapter. Twice is a nice guy, but he makes a ton of bad decision, one of which being his choice of friends. Hawks is in the right here, despite his cold demeanor. There's a weird duality of wrong and right going on in this story, and I have to wonder if I'm reaching or if that was intentional.
Either way, seeing Re-Destro against a full power Dark Shadow was hype and appreciated.
-

Hori's been going for that ever since the Stain part of the story, so there's no reason to think it isn't intentional.
I feel like we've been getting this "the world is greyer than we think, not as cut and dry as the heroes want you to believe" kind of thing for a long long time.
Villains with understandable/compelling backstories, shitty heroes, corruption, societal rules and trust systems that are fragile and full of distrust, etcI'm reminded of the three guys Suneater fought in the Overhaul arc, they were normal people who met dead ends in life, and Overhaul picked them out of the gutter.
They threw themselves at the heroes because of the loyalty they felt towards the person who saved them.And I remember how I actually agreed with Todoroki when he argued with the police chief, despite the fact that the kids were wrong in the eyes of the law.
Sometimes vigilantism is to be applauded, but the circumstances are always so unique/specific that it's easier for cops to just use the laws as a rule of thumb.There was also the compelling debate between the students over whether they should rescue Bakugo or not.
Tsuyu compared them to villains for wanting to deliberately break the rules, and Iida even punched Deku over it.
They went anyway and actually succeeded in their mission. This means that "acting like villains" actually paid off for them, and ultimately helped All Might…I'm also reminded of how Deku acknowledged that he could have turned out almost exactly like Gentle if he'd have allowed his crushed dreams near the beginning of the series to consume him.
This aspect of the series is one of the things I like the most about it.
-
Was Dark Shadow really full power because in the past that meant Tokoyami lost all control. I assume the flashback where Hawks told him to also train his strengths meant maintaining control over Dark Shadow at full power. If so, he is ridiculously strong, but only in instances of complete darkness.
-
The legs had too clean of a cut, maybe Hawks helped.
-
Hawks wasn't near by. I'd guess maybe Edgeshot? Possibly Jeanist?
-

Is Jeanist even there?
-
Well Best Jeanist has been "missing" ever since Hawks delivered his "head" to the League of Villains in order to gain their acceptance.
But yeah it looks like Jeanist's work after looking at his left leg, the pant leg looks twisted unnaturally and there is something attacking above his left ankle, although look a bit thick for strings.
-
Given that Haws was in for the kill, and even a battle freak like Miruko said she has to exercise restrain, Jeanist is dead until proven otherwise.
-
The only way Jeanist is dead is if they have done all of this to turn Hawks into a villain. A hero can't kill another hero, even if it is to destroy all the villains and their evil machinations.
-
Let's remember that Hawks has been for most of his life a child soldier of the Hero Commission, if they judge that a hero that would announce his retirement a just colateral,they probably given the order.

Yeah, I think both he and Kaminari leveled up during the time skip. Note that Kaminari never went into stupid mode.
-
Re-Destro is useless now since his ability cannot reinforce his artificial legs. So unless he gets extremely powerful ones that can match up, he is done.
-

So… careless?
Don't have to be a genius to take into account the fact you're inside enemy base and in an area where you could be surprised easily. Which ended up happening. I was on edge entire chapter, expecting he might get attacked from behind, looking at his wings getting smaller and smaller but it never occurred to him he's in a shitty spot if one of the enemies, which this base is full of, suddenly comes knocking.
Again, if this was any other character, sure. You don't build a master schemer and tactician and then have him surprised in such a simplistic manner.

So exactly what should have been Hawks' counteract against a giant blue fireball coming out of the wall in an instant?
