Boku No Hero Academia

Yeah I was expecting it to be at least a couple chapters; but most panels I couldn’t make out was happening, and shit went down so fast. He must be setting up something big though.

Even if we assume that AFO gets stopped/defeated, releasing all of the maximum security prisoners would theoretically give the author a lot of future flexibility. If AFO isn't defeated (either full success or has to recover for a while) I think we get as close as possible to "villains run society" as we can without villains actually running it. In retrospect I think this is the better option, as then the author doesn't have to persuade us that a villain-run society can actually function.

Looks like that villain-run society just might happen

Possible, feel like there's going to be the rough stability of more crime less heroes. Could definitely go full villain though.

Chapter felt pretty raw emotionally. Thought it was done pretty well overall.

I feel the same way. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

What do you think the chances are for a time skip?

What do you think the chances are for a time skip?

tl;dr: who knows.

I'm torn. He's not even graduated UA, and he's supposed to be the next All-Might to the general population? I don't see it, but he also lead the fight against Shigaraki so what do I know. There's also the possibility that he doesn't actually take over for All-Might, but his class of UA (or the top few) in general do.

He's got a few more powers to develop, and a time skip is an easy way of having him glean them and practice them.

So essentially he's progressing REALLY fast, so I could see a time skip not being needed, but a time skip feels like the most plausible plot progression to me.

I think it depends on if the author wants to let the general "anti/meh-hero" sentiment settle in or if he wants the UA kids to be able to nip it in the bud. I like the kids having to overcome public sentiment and I think everyone's too young to assume the main hero role mantle so I'd like to see a timeskip (or a slow plot progression). Whether or not it actually happens, I couldn't say.

I was thinking if there’s gonna be a time skip Midoriya would be in a coma the whole time. That’d a pretty good way to halt is rapid progression, let Bakugo and the rest of em get ahead before they just can’t compete.

That was a great title for last weeks chapter. “The wrong way to put out a fire”

I was curious how much they were going to show - we managed to get the backstory that we pretty much already knew without giving us the tidbits (yet) of how Dabi got away/put out the fire. Doesn't really push forth the plot at all, but it's well done and serves as a nice break in the pace from all of the fight sequences.
