Are people genuinely thrown off that Enji's choice is to passively accept his "punishment" and pretend he doesn't have the agency to talk to Touya and deescalate the situation? This is the most in character he's been for the past 100 chapters. Enji's always preferred wallowing into his regrets, ugly crying about them and about how his family is right to hate him and calling this pointless self-flagellation "atonement" , rather than actually challenging his self-perception long enough to change the way he acts towards his victims

Not to be bitter or anything but im happy dabi killed fanon touya

lol welcome to my blog I’m a prison abolitionist, I’m a communist, I don’t tolerate rape apologists, and I’ve been vegan for a decade, hi

So does this ending signify we’re getting AFO Vs Endeavor & Hawks next chapter? That seems an…odd choice.

Like, I’ve mentioned more than once how this arc is tragically tensionless because the whole war’s stacked too much in the heroes favour; with the villains VASTLY outnumbered, outgunned, & outplayed. The heroes have a few hundred times the forces they actually need to win this war, and that’s taking Tomura & AFO into account. So long as a proportionate amount of heroes were sent their way with any modicum of pre-planning (both of which seems to be true), this fight is already over.

And that’s true for the other fights too; Bakugou was right for the wrong reasons when he said it was obvious Shoto would beat his brother, and the Spinner & Toga fights are pretty much already decided too, baring an increasingly unlikely upheaval to the whole war. But those fights still work because we really care about the characters involved and their connections.

Not really the case here; these are some of the most polarizing/outright hated characters in the series, and I’d be wondering who to root for if there was any question of who would win, so my initial thoughts seeing this match-up were “if ever there was a fight that could happen off-screen”. I think the only thing I’m interested in with this is seeing what reason Endeavor absolutely had to be here instead of confronting his son.

Talking to your Villain: Deku vs. Shigaraki and Ochako vs. Toga

Questionable method but I typed up all the dialogue spoken out loud in each encounter, from the moment things really start picking up steam to the moment the Villain's heart gets saved. The Heroes are trying to get through to the Villain - how much effort do they put into trying to have a dialogue?

Green is Hero Speaking; Red is Villain Speaking.

Need you note that Deku's 4 lines of green - the longest line he speaks - in the middle of his battle is actually not directed at Shigaraki. He's talking to Nana about smashing Shigaraki's lid. But maybe Shigaraki heard him, idk.

I also took out Tsuyu's speech to Toga. That was a good chunk of 'Hero trying to talk to Villain', and also just a good attempt too from Tsuyu, but we're focusing Ochako and Toga.

Saw this shirt and knew I had to put Dabi in it immediately.

for my birthday, my sibling commissioned their friend to make me a spinaraki poster. there’s even glitter on it.

okay so yes, fine, i've got my shippers goggles on

but you can't tell me that Spinner holding onto The Hand doesn't have all the vibes and imaging of a -Longing And Worried Fiancé- clutching a Ring for -A Promised Wedding One Day Soon- that has been -Derailed By Tragedy-.
