Am I supposed to feel sorry for Spinner? The scene between him and Deku put me in a weird place. I mean, I WANT to forgive him because of what he went through but Horikoshi never showed us much of his backstory. It's mostly implied with a focus on showing the result with Spinner never leaving his room. Were the specifics meant to be implied (using our imagination to fill in the gaps for more impact)? Or, did Horikoshi just never found time to give us that Spinner backstory chapter?
Also, Spinner's going on death row, right? At the very least there's no way he's ever getting out of prison. We're not gonna touch on that, Horikoshi? No? Okay... Maybe him writing the book implies that's what he's gonna do with all his free time.
And then there's the gall of Spinner calling Deku a murderer! That really shocked me. I know it's coming from a guy whose best friend was killed but that still takes nerve given all the people Shigaraki murdered and the chaos his actions had on the country. Deku's a better person than me because I would've cussed Spinner out for saying that to me. And that final ember of One For All would've went right up his ass.
Anyway, I'm less confused and upset about Overhaul's ending. Getting laid out by his Boss was well deserved. Although, the Boss saying Eri will forget Overhaul had me scratching my head again this chapter. Horkoshi is really downplaying the trauma Eri went through. I tried to overlook the whole School-Concert-Healed-Eri angle but then you throw this at me? You wanna be psudo-realistic, Horikoshi? Have Eri going to therapy. She needs it. And all the free concerts and candy apples in the world isn't gonna make her forget that horrible time in her life.
I hate to go all P.H. on this chapter, but all these manga clichés are driving me crazy.
