Also, as pointed out on the other MHA thread Midoriya's seem to be slipping and he wants to outright kill Shigaraki. I wonder if it has something to do with the fourth user, I have wondered if it would be revealed later that the previous holders could either mentally influence or even outright posses the living holders. Alternatively Midoriya has years of pent up anger that have just be let loose.

Yeah... I was unaware this thread existed, so I'm just gonna post my post from there over here:
- As I suggested here
, the entire reason Deku grabbed everyone was so Tomura wouldn't have the advantage being on the ground gave him, and picked up the others so he couldn't try anything until he was certain Tomura was in the air.
- Like Daigoro said, Blackwhip is starting to become uncontrollable since Deku is pissed beyond belief.
- I'm surprised All Might willingly invited Uraraka, Sero, and Tsuyu to their training. Admittedly, I'm more focused on Uraraka's adorable hairstyle there, and the absurdity of Deku having an afro.
- As also pointed out, Float pretty much is a lot like Zero Gravity, meaning Deku is now learning how to use it from Uraraka, albeit under the guise of it being related to Blackwhip because of All Might's insistence. That, and it's just adorable seeing Uraraka train Deku this time around rather than her taking inspiration from him. I try not to be a shipper after escaping shipping hell, but this series really pushes me into shipping again.
- I chuckled when Tsuyu outright compared Deku to a bunny.
- Speaking of All Might... seriously Toshinori, at this point trying to hide the true nature of One for All is a fools errand. Deku doesn't need to reveal it to everyone, but he should at least be allowed to spill the beans to 1-A since they know him so well. Bakugo is entirely right to say that Toshinori can't keep this hidden forever.
- And this is probably one of the most important things this chapter: the idea it wasn't just villains who were after One for All. Bakugo makes it clear he no longer has complete trust in Toshinori, namely due to one thing: The Fourth Holder. Every holder had their name and details of their quirk outlined, except the Fourth, his name scribbled out, and Toshinori dodging the question whenever they tried asking about him. And when Bakugo tries to accuse him of hiding something, Toshinori just changes the subject. The fact this came up right after Toshinori said it wasn't solely villains who were after One for All, and that he went to the lengths of even hiding the name, the implication is not only that the Fourth was very well known, but that he was one of the people after One for All, and managed to get it.
- Equally important is the introspection we get on Bakugo. Namely... he regrets how he treated Deku when they were younger, and is willingly helping Deku train One for All as part of his atonement. He acknowledges his treatment of him was due to his own fragile ego, and that his concern for Deku during his fight with Tomura is, despite his reluctance to admit it, he does consider Deku a friend, and his sins are weighing on his conscience.
- While Bakugo and Endeavor are rushing to aid Deku while Shoto tends to the injured, things are very worrying for Deku. Not that he's losing, he's actually hurting Tomura more than his Healing Factor can fix. What's worrying is that Deku seems to be going berserk. His inner thoughts are making it clear he's losing his moral compunctions, and he wants Tomura to die.

There's the theory that the the fourth was related to Destro because he has 4 in his name, but I'm not sure if the name alone would warrant such secrecy. Re-Destro is a famous businessman and nobody seems to be raising eyebrows that his last name is Yotsubashi. Nobody knows Destro had children anyways.

Its kind of great for Bakugo to admit that Deku is his friend without any pretense; something any other Shonen rival really would never under any circumstances.

Oh, bother.
I'll wait until he admits to other people, particularly Izuku himself, that he considers Izuku a friend.

That's a tall order, the fact that he can say it all is progress.

I assure you, I'm a completely trustworthy person.
Destro was known as a revolutionary, not a villain. To that end, it's entirely conceivable that Destro himself was the anti-heroic fourth One for All wielder.
We've seen Destro and the Fourth however. They look nothing a like. Destro had a square jaw, an unscarred face, kinda average physique, long brown hair he kept in a ponytail, and was said to have killed himself in prison. The Fourth
has lighter and shorter hair, a rounder jaw, a lightning bolt shaped scar over his left eye, and was overtly muscular like all the holders sans the First and Sixth.
Well, looks like neither Bakugo nor Endeavor are gonna be coming out of this in a very healthy state.

Also, Deku lost his right arm. Straight up

Well, we knew Hori was a Star Wars fan. Izuku's one evil dad away from a full Luke cosplay.
Wake me up at your own risk.
No, I think it just got incredibly mangled like that Mirko leg that she still has somehow. Might be unusable now, though.
Bet we're about to get introduced to every wacky idea Hori has had for prosthetics over the last couple years.

Bakugo is critically injured, Deku might be down an arm.
Things are well and truly fucked

Also Shigaraki got literally grilled. Man this fight is hardcore.

Endeavor pulled a close ranged prominence burn and Shigaraki is STILL standing. What the fuck is that regeneration,

Face me now, Bitch!
Its Perfect regeneration.

Tomura likely has several regen quirks stacking among other stuff. It's taking one hell of a lot to make dents.

Wake me up at your own risk....Fuck. Didn't expect Bakugo to get Impaled with Extreme Prejudice. And yeah, Deku looks like he still has the arm, it's just mangled beyond belief. And likely gonna be needed to be amputated anyway since it's probably dead at this point.

Endeavor also got impaled after his attack failed

Well, this is looking absolutely nuts. I really hope Horikoshi goes through with all this, let this be the end of the "no real consequences" complaints once and for all.
My guess is that the Fourth Holder was a Punisher-esque Vigilante type.
