My Hero Academia

Well Aizawa said he's started training Eri; wouldn't put it past the story to just have Mirio get his quirk back offscreen after Eri gets better control of her Quirk,

You know, I never gave it much thought, but do you think it's weird that when Eri was losing control after Deku beat Overhaul, she didn't reverse the injuries to his hands that left all those scars?

I guess it's so there's still some consequences to his previous actions, but you'd think that's something that would have happened.

I'm wondering if we'll see some redesigns for the kids after this timeskip. Iirc in a recent interview Horikoshi was asked something like 'Deku and friends' looks have changed a lot since they started school? Will they change even more as they go into next years and become pros?' and he replied something like 'I'd like them to change as much as possible'.

Since it's been only three months, I doubt it's gonna be anything radical. Maybe some minor costume alterations, or maybe a hair cut. But nothing massive like the changes the Straw Hats or Konoha 11 went through. If anything, this would be a good excuse to make the costumes look more like the ones shown in the most recent poll, the extra armor and all ya know?

I've seen no indication he's interested in making any of those drawings canon.

And while they were more padded, none of them actually had armor.

Well, it IS a time skip; not a long one, but still. I expect some design alterations.

A short time skip but signifies something pretty significant so I can see major alterations happening.

So did the Heroes just spend three months looking for this hospital?

Well there ARE a lot of hospitals, and they can't exactly just barge in or that makes the PLF suspicious

I can't exactly put my finger on why, but I really, really liked this chapter. There's something about Deku muttering to himself about how lucky he his, that really cements him as a perfect foil to Shigaraki, after the latter's focus arc. Same thing with Allmight deciding he'll try to just live, even depowered, to be a psychological support to his students.

I'm pretty sure the costumes in that spread are just supposed to be a 'cyberpunk AU' like the 'fantasy AU' from other polls, not a sneak peek of the future. I wouldn't expect things like Bakugo getting machine guns.

The last thing Bakugo needs is access to firearms, anyway.

It'll be machineguns that shoot bullets filled with sweat!

Timeskip! And plot happenings! Finally!

Is that finally for the time-skip or the plot happenings?

Cause we generally get plot happenings.

I mean, the timeskip yeah, but as far as plot happenings outside of MVA the plot's been pretty slow goings since Kamino. It's been like 2-3 years of pure buildup and now it looks like we're finally getting payoff.

I wonder if the situation will get so severely dire that the pro-hero side will actually consider making a deal with Chisaki(Overhaul) when the PLF comes out with the Anti-Quirk bullets mass-produced against the pro-heroes.

Think about it, right now Overhaul is technically "quirkless" and a quirkless Overhaul is a harmless Overhaul, especially without his yakuza influence and only a handful of loyal henchmen to his disposal.

And they might not be the biggest fans of the LOV or PLF as they now are called.

That said, Chisaki is the one person who knows how the Anti-Quirk bullets and the Quirk Serum works, as the creator of both, and that knowledge alone might be priceless to the Pro-Heroes assuming the PLF doesn't straight up abduct Chisaki to keep that knowledge away from the Pro-hero side in the potential Tartarus Raid arc, meaning that Overhaul still has a value to either side of this conflict.

If he ends up joining the Pro-heroes (for either a lighter sentence, the right to wield his own arm-prosthetic or simple protection from the PLF due to the knowledge of the weapon he created), then there could even be potential to show character growth in Eri, by having her meet him again...and no longer fearing him as she used to, seeing the state he is in now, incapable of hurting her anymore.

She might even be able to give him his mentor (the Yakuza boss and her grandfather) back by undoing the harm Chisaki did to him with her quirk.

(And, that might be enough to sway Chisaki to the Pro-Heroes' side as an ally. The restoration of his father-figure and a chance to have a long, much needed, lecture and talk from him)

Let's imagine this scenario for a moment...

How probable would it be in the potential "What-If" line of potential outcomes?

Yea uh the only way to make the bullets is to use Eri, and harvesting eri requires the Overhaul quirk to reset her.

I don't think it would work at all. Nor do i think Overhaul would actually be willing to cooperate with anyone.

I think Overhaul's participation in this story ended up pretty cleanly, no need to bring him back IMHO.

Only if they likely agree tk find a means to restore an arm so he can fix the boss, and potentially get back at the League. But thats as far as it would ho I feel.

The only way he can come back if say Chrono mange’s to give him his arms back with or without Eri somehow.

Because I'm that kind of asshole I have to say that Overhaul isn't technically Quirkless - he's practically Quirkless. His Quirk is still there even if he can't functionally use it.

Although, that recent data book mentioned that his Quirk was "remolded" with no elaboration so who knows what's going on there.

Leg based overhauling?

I saw a different translation that just suggested that his quirk was now useless because he was disarmed.

Personally i wouldn't mind him back in some capacity, but he'd almost certainly be on the villain side. Tomura may not like him, but i imagine OFA could see use in him, if not his quirk.

On another note, i wonder if the League will get more upgrades (and i do specifically mean the League). Like, would spinner accept a more powerful quirk via Ujiko or AFO? Would Dabi accept body treatment to withstand his quirk? What about Compress?

I think Compress would only ask for a Healing Factor, both to replace his missing arm, and so it won't matter if he keeps losing them.
