I’m just annoyed by AFO, one of the worst characters and he’s the Big Bad. His main body should’ve died against Endeavor so we wouldn’t have to waste so much time with him.

I agree that Hori really didn't need to drag out OG AfO's death. I think he wanted to give All Might and Bakugou a Heroic Moment/Win but it came at the coast of pacing and AfO feeling really redundant. I mean I love All Might and I do think he needed a little bit of a moment before the end of the story but depending on how the story ends it could have possibly been left to his vestige+emotionally helping Izuku.

As for Bakugou getting his moment, again depending on how things go, could have been left for after Shigaraki gets fully possessed, with him teaming up with Izuku.

Because we're still not done with the story I can't say for sure, but I'm a little annoyed that OG AfO wasn't killed by Enji+Dabi. At the moment it seems like if/when Hori redemes the core LoV it will be last minute in a friendship is magic/breaking Shigaraki out of AfO's mind control thing. I'm not a huge fan of that and do wish that Dabi would have helped bring down AfO with Enji and Shoto. He still could have been cheering Shigaraki on from the sidelines to help bring him back, but it would have been the first step in showing he was starting to choose something for the greater good over killing his family for revenge.

It also would have given Enji, Shoto, Hawks and the other UA students that fought him more of a win, while also fitting in with the todofam subplot.

#bnha manga spoilers #bnha #mha #endeavor #enji todoroki #AfO #it just sucks cuz it is a huge drag on the pacing #and so few characters feel like they genuinely helped bring him down #which I think was supposed to be the point #like that defeating him was a team effort #and perhaps animated or read all at once it'll feel more like that #but it really did sort of end up seeming like the Bakugou and All Might show #while also undermining them and everyone else when he comes back 10 chaps later #like idk it feels pointless in that way #which is not how you want a climatic moment to feel #and it makes Hawks loosing his Quirk and Stain's death even more pointless #and Stains death/him even being involved was pretty pointless #and he was my fav character #but he just did not do enough important stuff to be brought back after his first appearance #as a character and what he was supposed to accomplish was just not at all utilized well #like I think he was supposed to be an emotional support for All Might but he was to crazy and had so few moments with him #that he's just useless
