My Hero Academia

More like the closest to her failed her, although it'd take a lot to get the blood drinking urges to be handled well.

Yeah, the very first sentence of the post is a spoiler. I was trying to stay away from those. Great... Some warning when it was posted would have been nice.

Okay, not opening it yet until the chapter is up on Mangaplus.

~sdsaa, if you'd like to post that link again, please give a little additional context on what it's about.

Chapter's out. I think it's implied the Doctor did make more anti quirk bullets and those were what was destroyed.

Chapters out

Toga is on a rampage, Shigi can seem to control what decays to some degree, and Giganto is about to rendezvous with Shigi. But looks like Endeavor has a bone to pick with shigi first

Chapter 273, and the death wave can't be stopped. Everybody has to book it as fast as they can. Wonder how far the radius goes, and when and where the heroes will be safe from it.

Funny that Shigaraki's control over Decay is demonstrated by having him save his phone...and it was still on the charger this whole time. He's calling Giganto to wreck some heroes. He doesn't seem to be suffering any adverse effects from the incomplete upgrade, at least not that we've seen yet.

Endeavor attacking Shigaraki... He can't die here, considering he's still got his atonement arc...so, uh, is Hellflame the first Quirk Shigaraki's gonna steal with AFO? After All Might's retirement, another depowered No. 1 hero would be...disastrous, to say the least.

Since it would be a shame not to add it to the poor guy's character page, what trope would X-less destroying the Quirk-destroying bullets fall under?

Under the circumstances? Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, because now only Aizawa can stop Shigaraki from dusting everything.

• Yep, Midoriya's attack did nothing to the wave, so their best course of action is to quite literally just run. At least they're still saving the Civilians in the process, but their main priority right now is to just fucking run.
• "To me, Machia. And bring the others. This is when we destroy everything." Yeah, doesn't look like Tomura's slowing down, and based on his wording, this was the original plan, for them to enact their war as soon as he woke up. So if him being woken prematurely was meant to have any side effects, they aren't showing yet. Also, he can finally touch things with all his fingers. No longer will he have to hold a cup with only four fingers making everyone think he's acting like he's drinking tea.
• I actually got a bit of a giggle seeing Mt. Lady that pissed off while attacking Geten. Sorta needed considering this situation. Admittedly, she's got enough reason to be angry, damn punk broke one of the horns on her mask! Does he not know how much those masks cost to replace?! They're custom made! And her budget is in the red enough as is, she can't afford to buy a new mask!
• And it would seem Toga has gone even further off the deep end. She doesn't even have a Slasher Smile, that's how pissed she is. And counting the number of confirmed Heroes she slashed, she is on the warpath. I think we can say with certainty that she's killed at least six of them, with six of them were slashed in the neck and are likely choking on their own blood, and four of them are shown collapsing mid slash.
• Notice Dabi doesn't actually tell Compress about Twice or say he was there, he just looks on looking kinda bored. Yeah, just further hammering in how little he actually cares about the others like he told Hawks, since one of his comrades is grieving over a dead friend while rampaging and another is in shock, and he just looks like he's thinking "What am I gonna make to eat tonight? Would eating sushi be in poor taste now that Twice is dead? Eh, what do I care, I want some sushi."
• So I'm going to assume that hand reaching up from behind is Gigantomachia's? I didn't think he was that huge that Toga could fit in entirely in his hand. Hell, we saw him holding Compress at one point yet Compress was at least still visible while being held. Is this just a case of Your Size May Vary? Or does he have Gamagori powers where his set size is just "bigger than you"?
• Honestly, Tomura looks so much cooler without the hands on his body and wearing X-less' cloak. The Barbarian Longhair, the body suit, the visible scars and chapped skin, he looks so much cooler.
• I highly doubt Enji is gonna bite it, but I don't doubt that he'll be the first victim of Tomura's All for One. So Tomura will likely be adding Hellfire to his arsenal, and if he's feeling like it, may be taking a limb or two from Enji.

No, that would fall under "the Heroes would have 100% used COMPETANCE!!! to gain the bullets and shoot Shigaraki and it would 100% work, and now there is nothing in the world that can take it's place". I mean what trope would it ACTUALLY fall under?

Yeah, he can get bigger, was confirmed back when Giganto was fighting Shigaraki and the League at the beginning of the MVA arc.

I think the quirk bullets neatly avoids a plothole while also avoiding overwhelming power. Yes, Garaki could make more and he did, but now Xless did in fact do an essential job, and the villains don't also have tons of dequirking bullets. Only one bullet is needed - to dequirk Tomura. And though *most* are destroyed, it looks like even one vial could produce quite a bunch of bullets.

Gigantomachia can change size, we saw that already. He is at his smallest when calm.

I think Tomura controlling his decay is more related to his Deika situation, where he could decay with his finger, but now he can safely pick up his phone. He can also avoid decaying his immediate surroundings, unlike Deika. So a bit of extra control, but not world-changinng.

Also, i think Endeavor will be hit by the dequirk serum. Seems awfully suspicious to bring that up *NOW* as Endeavor barges in, in a panel i can only describe as a Rennaisance painting.

Deku's kick didn't really do anything, but Todoroki's ice wall seem to have at least slowed it down? So Pixie-Bob's ground wall probably had a similar effect.

Wonderful. Now Toga wants to hurt heroes.

We can throw that into the rest of the shit got real pile.

Xless did in fact do a great service, who knew.

That actually makes me think semi-relevant guys such as Thirteen and the like are probably alive if even X-Less can have his death not be meaningless.

I feel sorry for X-Less' widow, though. I'm assuming he has one because the only other reason he'd be X-Less is if he never had a relationship in the first place, and I'm not sure that isn't sadder.

Geez, seems like Shigaraki both actually looks like a big bad now and stopped using video game terms

Rest In Peace, X-Less, you did your duty even in death.

Lets pour one out for X-Less....

<Decides not to admit he's been paying so little attention to X-Less that he doesn't even remember what he looks like>

....that's right. My man X-Less. I'll always treasure his bravery.

Basically take X-Men's Cyclops and give him a monocle instead of a visor.

Making him the second (or third depending on you view Aoyama) Cyclops reference.

Aoyama is definitely a Cyclops reference

And also shigaraki's new cape.
