#chapter 360

[marunalu]

So this pretty much confirms it:

Afo had his eyes on both bakugou and izuku since their childhood! Only that he thinks highly of izuku and looks down on bakugou.

He knows things of bakugou, he shouldnt be able to know! He knows that bakugou grew up watching all mights victories and that it was his wish to archieve these things someday too. This is a PERSONAL information about bakugous childhood dreams afo CANT know about.... except if he had an informant. An very young, innocent little informant, talking with excitement about that boy with the cool powerful quirk, talking all day how one day he will surpass all might!

"You will always live in midoriyas shadow."

Thats a personal fear of bakugou afo ALSO shouldnt be aware of... except if he watched both boys from afar without them noticing. He saw that bakugou was the one stalking izuku. Not leaving him alone. Abusing him out of his fear of him. Driving to be better then him, without understanding what made izuku better then bakugou!

And it also shows afos clear distaste in bakugou as a person. Not only does he beat him up BADLY, he also openly mocks, insults, humiliates and shames him infront of a lot of other pro heroes, including his "mentor", homeroom teacher and monoma, someone bakugou REALLY doesnt like! And on the other side afo has a HIGH opinion of izuku! Tells bakugou to his face that he will never be as great as izuku! That he will always be nothing more then izukus shadow! That there is nothing noteworthy about him, except his relationship with izuku!

Afo is literally FANBOYING over izuku! If thats not what a proud dad sounds like, I dont know! And it makes perfect sense! As izukus father he would watch over him from afar, playing the normal allday father and husband. He would see how badly bakugou treats izuku, but cant effort to do something, because afo needs to lay his profile low. Doing something to bakugou, could endanger his own family.

So WHO needs to sacrefice his head instead and was turned into a nomou? Little tsubasa, one of bakugous minions and one of the kids who also bullied izuku. And WHO was little tsubasa related too? Right, dr garaki, the most loyal follower of afo! A man who has no problem to use children as his lab rats and sees afo as his god!

The pieces of the puzzle are all slowly falling into place!

Chapter 360: An Evening at the Palace

Lady Helena Reynolds entered the drawing room next to Princess Jessica, finally relaxing a bit after being so nervous at meeting the reigning monarch and his wife.

“Dinner was wonderful, your royal highness,” Lady Helena said as she walked next to Princess Jessica into the lounge adjacent to the family dining room. “Please extend my compliments to your chef. It was a true delight.”

“I’m sure Monsieur Tremont will appreciate your kind words,” Jessica replied as they sat down. “He so rarely has the opportunity to challenge himself anymore. Growing older, Stephen’s tastes – and I must admit, my own, as well – are fairly simple, so I know he was excited to have a visitor to impress.”

“Well, he certainly did so,” Helena replied. “It’s been such a lovely evening I almost wish it wouldn’t end.”

“Such flattery,” Stephen said, smiling. “Though, I must admit, I’ve truly enjoyed myself as well. Michael has brought young ladies home before – but none have been quite as lovely as you.”

Helena dropped her gaze, nearly blushing.

“So how are you finding life in the city?” Jessica asked. “It must be quite a change from Hemingford.”

“It is,” Helena replied, “though, having spent so many years in Paris after my parents passed, Hemingford was more of an adjustment than Weston. While I enjoyed the peace and beauty, there were times it seemed a bit more bucolic than I might have preferred. At least, until Michael arrived.”

“Of course,” Stephen replied. “Which leads me to my next question. Do you two plan on going public with your relationship?”

“Stephen!” Jessica snapped as Helena dropped her gaze nervously. “That’s none of our business!”

“It is very much our business, my dear,” Stephen said. “If they are serious about this relationship, going public will be a much better option than being found out by the press. Believe me, I learned that lesson with Michael’s mother.”

“That may be, father,” Michael said, crossly. “But I would appreciate you allowing us to determine the next phase of our relationship. When we’re ready to go public, we will – but no amount of pressure from you or the press will push us into it.”

“Suit yourself,” Stephen said. “But I won’t be around forever, Michael. It’s time for you to start thinking about your future. That means a wife and a family. The monarchy requires stability, and it’s your responsibility to provide it.”

“I think we’re all getting ahead of ourselves,” Jessica said, trying to de-escalate the conversation. “Michael and Helena have only recently begun seeing one another. I think there’s plenty of time for them to decide how they want to move forward.”

“Perhaps,” Stephen said, standing. “I apologize if I’ve overstepped. If you’ll excuse me, I should turn in before I say anything more.”

“Father, you don’t have to ….” Michael began.

“Goodnight baroness, Michael,” Stephen said. “I’ll see you upstairs, my dear.”

After Stephen’s departure, the room was silent for a moment.

“Mother, what the hell is going on?” Michael asked quietly. “This behavior is extreme – even for him.”

“I’m not sure, but I intend to find out,” Jessica said. “Now, as far as you two are concerned, I hope you’ll ignore my husband’s comments. Michael, why don’t you show Helena the gardens. They’re actually quite lovely at night.”

[smaqzy]

MIRIO IN THE NEW CHAPTER AHDGAGHA chapter 360!!

MHA CHAPTER 360 SPOILERS OFC BELOW!!!

LOOK AT MY BOY, SAVIN BAKUGO LIKE A LEGEND.

Extremely grateful Horikoshi put the big 3 in this chapter Ive been waiting for so long and it all finally paid off!! HAHAAA

I do feel that Mirio may die in the manga soon though, maybe in the next 10 chapters or so. I'm just mentally preparing myself for when that happens but this is just my opinion on the situation. I think that Midoriya is gonna show up and THATS when Mirio's gonna perish, Like Mentor like student. Really hope that my sunshine boy lives through the fight though 🥺, but he's really the only one that can do serious damage on Shigaraki currently.

I still think that the big 3 is gonna hold up pretty well though, and that Bakugo is gonna get up on those big beefy balls of his and start helping out again

See? hes fine

SEE

TOLD YOU.

[junikshanasar]

i’m two chaps behind but

he’s so pretty (★ ω ★)

i also have a new need for tokoyami-todoroki friendship, they look so cute

anyway these ppl are a full mood

i too internally monologue my life in the form of a story when things are going south

alsooo

they���re back! also mirio is finally here lmao

and nejire’s new cut is fabulous, rlly cute

mikey wannabe

speaking of, i think ive let chapters for tokyo revengers pile on long enough, it’s about time i start reading the highschool part

anyway we get a quick explanation of where mirio’s been and why, him on communications honestly makes sense, and I am looking forward to him entering the fight since he can’t be touched with his phasing quirk

and here he come, harsh, not holding back. that’s it, everyone pack up and go home, shiggy has been utterly wrecked lmao.

anyway, i shall finally address the blatant elephant in the room-

bakugou has also been utterly wrecked

i honestly couldnt feel the fear or other emotions the other characters were clearly feeling, just because bakugou dying is something i think is way out there in terms of predictions, but what is certainly on the table is him burning out completely and unable to continue his life as a hero.

clearly he’s getting the hand of shiggy’s moves and attacks,

but with the way things are going, especially since he’s so battered, bakugou will either get a power up or Midoriya will come in the nick of time for Bakugou to team-up with and basically direct him

well, i feel the latter may happen regardless, but the real question is if bakugou will merely get that power up, or if this will be his ‘final stand’ so to speak

this would deny him of everything he’s ever wanted and strived for, which would be a tragedy all on it’s own even if he doesn’t die

on the other hand, i don’t think horikoshi will take this route either because of the absolute beatdown bakugou is getting mentally, not just in the past two chapters but throughout the series. his behaviour and mentality has been questioned and revised and he’s grown a lot as a character, and now we have him and his theoretical absolute lowest, with shiggy taunting him with how he doesn’t care about bakugou and only knows him as deku’s bestfriend

once upon a time this wouldve been THE WORST thing ever for bakugou, but we can see he doesnt even get riled up, still focused on shiggy’s moves

all in all i think bakugou’s grown too much for horikoshi to cut him down now, so everyone can stop worrying!

(will i eat my words later? who knows lol)

[misplacedgamer]

The fucking poetry of AFO calling Bakugo nothing but Izuku’s shadow-the thing Bakugo has struggled with since he was 4 years old???? When we KNOW Izuku actually feels the opposite??? And how that’s been the root of their miscommunication for the whole story?????????

[hascious]

im struggling to balance writing and doodling but im managing nonetheless

also!! i just finished writing myself a little list of events that will happen for the last half of the au, so everythings basically plotted out i just gotta take the time to write it coherently. pray for me

the first half i got to fuck around but now ive gotta take it seriously, so sad </3 but its okay cause once its over i can just doodle silly things about everything and even redraw some of my old concepts

double also... i mightve had an idea a while ago for a small spinoff... i might talk more about it another time...

oh and heres a scuffed reference i made a little while ago for Henry's ability if anyone wanted to know what it looks like as of chapter 6

[marunalu]

The close up of bakugous face in the last picture of this chapter strongly hints that bakugou isnt done yet. His sweat is glistering and the more he sweats the more powerful his explosions become. So something will happen.

But now I want to point out, that the narrative of the manga told us over and over again that bakugou and endeavor are parallels to each other. Not only in personality, similar quirk, goals and their relationship with their rivals (all might and izuku) but also their plots in the story. Bakugous fight against shigarAFO is a clear parallel to endeavors fight against afo. And we all know how it startet and ended.

At first afo seemed to have the uber hand in battle, plays and taunts endeavor and beats him up badly, till jiro managed to make the vestiges inside afo rebell against him. From that moment he startet to "lose".

Then after a comment about touya and hinting that he was the one who found his burned body, endeavor completly LOST it! He went into rage mode and WRECKED afo so badly, that afo even startet to panic. And after endeavors final attack, burning afo to a crisp, the fight seemed finally over! Afo was dead! Endeavor won!

But! Oh wait! Plot twist! Afo actually is in possession of eris quirk and in the last moment he uses rewind on himself! By that turning himself back to his old overpowered glory, before his face got smashed in by all mights fist.

So in the end endeavor, while being a complete badass in this fight, made things WORSE in the end, because he forced afo to use rewind on himself, something he didnt planed at first, because of the quirks danger.

And now we have the same things happen in bakugous fight against shigarAFO.

The heroes stand no chance against him, bakugou comes up with a new move just to be easily overwhelmed, gets completly DESTROYED and shigarAFO plays with him like a cat with a mouse, till mirio saved bakugous ass and even manages for a moment to help tomura back into control, after he mentioned the word "friends". For a small moment tomura was able to gain control over himself again, because this simple word reminded him of his own friends. For a moment he rebells against afo, just like jiro managed to make the vestiges inside afo rebell against him. But we know what happened. Afo managed to overpower the vestiges inside him, exactly how afo inside tomura managed to take control over him again.

The end of the chapter shows bakugou, beaten up but determinded and not giving up yet. The same happened with endeavor. At first he seemed beaten, but then he lost it after afo taunted him with touya. And in bakugous case, he was terrible humiliated and shamed by shigarAFOs insults.

"Your nothing."

"The only interesting thing about you is your close relationship to izuku midoriya."

"Youre nothing more then izuku midoriyas shadow."

"You will never beat ofa."

ShigarAFO literally calls him a big loser to his face. Tells him how much better izuku is! How he is nothing but a small ant under his feet! And thats something bakugou wont accept, because he WANTS to be better then izuku!

So my prediction is, that just like endeavor he will go all out in the next chapter. Comming up with something new and beat shigarAFO up just how it happened with afo. He will give him hell and it will look like as if he killed him. But just like in the endeavor vs afo fight, shigarAFO will have an ace up his sleves. Because if the real afo has rewind, who says shigarAFO doesnt? Or some kind of other emergency plan?

Just like with endeavor it will look like as if bakugou won and killed/defeated shigarAFO, just to find out the hard way he made everything worse! This will be bakugous great moment hori talked about and both bakugou fans and haters will enjoy! He will be a badass and still fail horrible at the end, because we all know shigaraki will be defeated/saved by izuku and no one else!

Once again, big huge massive thank you to @bisexual-horror-fan for beta reading and editing this chapter dude! I really couldn’t do this without you. Love you a fuckton! <3

Also @lizey-thornberry you wanted to be tagged! Appreciate the love dude!

Let’s go!

Everything about her was utterly magnetic, but she had absolutely no idea of the impact she was having on me.

I knew why I was here, what my job was. If she knew what I was doing, she wouldn’t be happy with me, but I just can’t help myself. That’s the understatement of the fucking century, she’d hate me. Could I blame her if she did? No.

From the moment I saw her, I was enticed. I remembered before coming to Windsor College, seeing news articles about her and of course with what we had planned, I had to do my research.

It didn’t take me long to find out that Dahlia Levine was Stu Macher's cousin, though it took scouring through a lot of different websites and talking to some people obsessed with the Woodsboro murders to find out, as it hadn’t been in Gale Weathers shitty book. According to one guy, Dahlia’s family was insanely wealthy and paid off a fuck ton of people to protect their name and their image, but not their daughter. I’d seen a picture of her for the first time in one of the many chat rooms and God, she was beautiful. She was standing next to Stu in a family picture that had been almost entirely scrubbed from the internet, mid-laugh from something he himself had clearly said because the woman I assumed to be her mother did not look impressed by either of them.

She was fucking perfect. Too fucking perfect. I like to think I have an impressive vocabulary, but she makes it hard to find the words to describe her, nothing feels quite good enough.

I stared at that photo maybe a little too often, fisted my cock when looking into her big brown eyes and just like that, I needed her. I needed to kill her, slide the cold steel of my knife into her over and over again whilst looking into those damn brown eyes and watch the light fade out of them. I needed this more than I needed air to breathe, more than I wanted to kill Sidney fucking Prescott and her stupid group of fucking friends.

Then I saw her in person a few months before we were officially introduced.

I thought that this girl couldn’t be the same girl in the picture I’d been staring at all these months. Her eyes weren’t right, already lifeless, which honestly put me off. She never smiled, she never laughed. She hardly registered it when anyone acknowledged her. You know that phrase, lights on, nobody home? It’s like lights were off, and the house was abandoned, haunted by some barely there ghost.

I began subtly following her around campus, video camera in hand, deciding to track her. Although her days were basic, consisting of classes and visits to the library as well as the laundry room in her building, I felt myself becoming more and more connected to her over the weeks. I’d watch everything she did. I’d watch everything Randy and Sidney did too, but that was different, I didn’t have the same interest which I knew my predecessor's mother would not be at all happy about, but the fuck did I care? The killings wouldn’t be starting for a year and a half, and I needed a toy to entertain myself with.

But then? Oh, my fucking God, then I found out that Dahlia had died.

I’d been walking past the library where Sidney and Randy perched on the steps, talking to each other in clear yet hushed voices about the events of Woodsboro, which immediately caught my attention. I was good at hiding in plain sight, so I walked around the steps of the library and leaned against the wall, pulling a book out of my bag, so I could listen to Randy talk.

“She keeps saying she’s fine, Sid,” Randy had said, worried concern was evident in his tone, “But you’ve seen her, she’s not the same as before.”

“Well, are you surprised?” Sidney had whispered back, eyes locked on him as she said, “Stu did nothing, and she died-“ my brow suddenly creased, and my eyes narrowed as I listened on, “- after Billy stabbed her. Would you be okay if your cousin just stood by and let that happen?”

That just piqued my interest in her further.

Now, I can admit that I get a little… Obsessive, and at times it doesn’t come out in the best of ways. I’m usually able to channel that obsession, steal things that belong to the object of my extraordinary interests, but with her? It was never enough. Breaking into her dorm and stealing her notebooks? Her clothes? Her panties? Getting myself off to the thought of killing her with them clenched between my fingers? It was never enough. I had to know her, I needed to know her. I couldn’t stop thinking about how perfect she’d be, my perfect victim; the relative of one of the Ghostfaces who had not only died, but came back to life. What could be more ideal than that as a victim?

So I infiltrated myself into Sidney’s friend group, earlier than Nancy and I had initially discussed. Of course, she wasn’t happy, she thought I’d made myself “too available too fast” and they’d grow suspicious, but I don’t know if they were oblivious, in denial or just downright stupid because they pretty much welcomed me with open arms after I grew closer to Derek. I started talking to Randy in film class, playfully arguing about movies and cinema and harmlessly flirted with Hallie when I’d bump into her around campus, but she wasn’t who I wanted.

It was just like a game, like I was in my very own movie. It was fun, but I still wanted her, and I couldn’t help but wonder why she didn’t hang around with Sidney and Randy that often at the very least.

I’d seen her talking to Sidney whilst I was talking to some girl from my statistics class and I quickly brushed her off when their conversation ended, making her sigh irritably at my sudden lack of interest in her and flounce off in a huff, but I paid her no mind. Sid and I had plans for coffee, so when she waved to me, walking across the green I smiled at her as warmly as I could muster, reluctantly forcing my gaze away from Dahlia.

“Who was that?” I’d asked casually, gesturing loosely over to Dahlia’s retreating form headed for the library.

Sid glanced over her shoulder and I saw her smile sadly in her direction as she sighed, “That’s Dahlia.”

“That’s Dahlia?” I’d asked in careful surprise, ensuring my tone wasn’t overly fake. It was the first time I’d said her name out loud, and I couldn’t help but enjoy the way it rolled off my tongue, “You and Randy talk about her, but I wasn’t sure she was even real.”

“She’s…” Sid hesitated for a moment as she turned back to look at me before continuing, “Shy. She’s never quite moved on from what happened in Woodsboro, you know? It’s harder for her.”

“How come?” I asked, but of course I already knew.

Sidney pursed her lips, eyebrows furrowing a little as she briefly shook her head, clearly trying to change the subject, “It doesn’t matter. Are we getting coffee or what? Derek said he’s meeting us there.”

I ignored her attempt to divert the conversation, trying to keep my voice even as I continued, “You know, if she’s shy, maybe you should introduce her to us.” I suggested, walking alongside Sidney, whose face turned a little thoughtful. I grasped at straws and carried on, “Maybe her having friends that aren’t just you and Randy can help her move on, get her back to however she was before.”

Sidney looked up at me, head tilted a little to the side and her eyes narrowing. “What do you mean?”

“You said she never quite moved on from Woodsbro. And although I only saw her from a distance, she looked… Sad.” I replied smoothly. Damn, Sidney was a suspicious person. Of course, she had every right to be, but I knew I had to start being more careful. I couldn’t let the fact that I wanted Dahlia get in the way of my true purpose, from achieving what I was destined to achieve.

Shortly after, Sidney introduced Dahlia to everybody. And now, a few months later, here we were, Dahlia’s soft lips pressing against mine as she pulled herself up on her toes using my shoulders, and taking me completely by surprise.

I didn’t know what to do, I just froze. This wasn’t what I expected, not at all. I didn’t have feelings for people. I fucked them, sure, falling into bed or being on a couch, making them believe I was into them, sliding deep inside a soaked hole and taking advantage of vulnerability, being inside a person but not letting them back in was natural to me. I flirted, of course, led people on, played the game and enjoyed pulling people like puppets on strings, but her? Being here, feeling her warm soft body pressed against mine, tasting her, smelling her coconut scented shampoo, it was different. I felt my heart thud in my chest, felt the reserve of my confidence begin to fade.

Fuck, she had me already. It took a moment, but I kissed her back slowly, my hands pulling her closer to me by her hips. I felt her breath hitch slightly, and I couldn’t help but smile against her, my fingers moving to trail up the curve of her spine and leaving goosebumps in its wake.

She wasn’t a bad kisser, she just seemed so sweetly inexperienced, it was fucking intoxicating. God, I wanted to fucking teach her. I wanted to show her just how good her life could be until the day I inevitably ended it.

Something seemed to snap and quickly change inside of her as she suddenly stiffened before gasping into my mouth and gently pushing me away from her, pulling back with her eyes wide in horror and embarrassment as she looked at me and took a few steps back. Her hands falling to her side as she looked at my very evidently dumbstruck face, “I’m sorry! Oh my God, that was so stupid, I am so sorry!”

She began rambling, fast and almost incoherent as a stream of apologies left her, almost tumbling over each other in their haste to be expressed. I shook my head, unable to stop the amused smile taking over my face as I looked over her.

Her cheeks were stained a gorgeous pink, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how I could twist it, pink bleeds instead to the red inside of her, the scarlet that pumps through her veins, pushing, making her draw breath and live, would be even more beautiful, staining the steel of my knife. Fuck, she’d be absolutely ideal.

“Dahlia,” I spoke her name first, a pause followed before I asked quietly, making her eyes flicker up to mine before they fell on the ground again, “Was that your first kiss?”

She let out a small scoff, but her cheeks flushed even deeper and said nothing. Could this be any more perfect? The plan started churning endlessly in my mind. The potential future of us stretches out before me as if on endless spools of film reel, rolling in every which way, so many scenes, how many could be acted out? How many would make the cutting room floor?

I never pretended to be a good person, I’m not. Truthfully, I like Dahlia. I like how I was the only person able to bring back the fire she used to have inside of her, not even that fucking idiot Randy could do that, and they had been friends for years. Though, I really think he wants more, but that’s too fucking bad for him. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever wanted anyone as much as I want her. Looking at her, just so beautiful, so fucking vulnerable and pure, is when I knew.

It wasn’t like with Billy and Sidney, I didn’t hate Dahlia, I didn’t want revenge for anything. I like her, perhaps too much. I don’t know how to distinguish between liking or loving someone and obsession, to me the two were like two sides of the same coin. But there is one similar thing I did share with Billy.

I was going to have her, strip her from all the remaining innocence she had. Touch her, taste her, heal her, fuck the life right back into her before I thought it was time to take all of it away. I want to tear her apart. I want to piece her back together, fix her just to ruin her, be the one to end her, finish the job Billy fucking Loomis couldn’t.

The one thing, though, is she has to die. I don’t want to kill her for any reason but to fulfill her destiny and make people see her for who she is.

The absolute perfect, textbook victim. My fucking victim. She’d be immortalized, is that not what everyone wants?

“It’s okay, Dahl.” I laughed, taking a step toward her. She didn’t move, and her eyes refused to meet mine as I continued, “You want to pretend like it didn’t happen, that’s fine, we can carry on just being friends.”

This made her eyes look up into mine, so deep, warm brown like when the sun filters through leaves on trees in autumn before they fall and innocent it made my head spin, “Is that what you want? Do you really think we can be just friends?” She asked in a small voice. She looked so… innocent. If I’m being honest, she was utterly endearing. Her big brown eyes looked like pools of honey in the remaining light, deep and enticing.

The sun was beginning to set now, how long had we been out here? There wasn’t really anyone on the green anymore, just a few stragglers that may as well have been pieces of trash for all the attention I was giving them.

How should I play this?

“Honestly, I don’t think you and I are ever going to be “just friends”, Dahl.” I said truthfully, fingers raising in air quotations.

I heard her swallow, and she lightly shrugged her shoulders with a sigh, “I don’t know you, Mickey. Not really. Can’t we just forget it happened?”

Fuck, I loved the way she said my name. It sounded like music to my ears, and I couldn’t help but imagine her moaning and panting it into my ear. This girl was driving me fucking insane, yet she had absolutely no idea.

“No.” I responded simply, unable to stop looking at her lips as I took another step forward, hands moving to rest on her hips. Again, she didn’t move, but now her eyes were on me, like she was unable to look away from me too.

Chapter Seven HERE

[haleigh-sloth]

Okay so I see people citing the beginnings of MVA where Shigaraki said he wouldn’t destroy what his friends liked or wanted as a reason for why Mirio’s words are ultimately meaningless. And like—

Idk how to explain that over the course of nearly 200 chapters, characters develop and change and—in Shigaraki’s case—spiral. Things happen to characters, and circumstances change.

Since Shigaraki said that to Toga, so much has happened:

Twice died

Touya revealed that he’s been hiding his identity and his true end goal the entire time

Compress maimed himself and got arrested

Toga and Touya separated and ran off from the group more than once

The League was separated in this current war and are all facing dangerous situations

Touya was defeated and got arrested

Spinner accepted a quirk from AFO and is now literally a ticking time bomb

I will scream this again until we get a new chapter and have something new to talk about lol:

Mirio was not written to say what he said so we would be like “Aw fuck you Mirio you don’t know what you’re talking about.”

He, a protagonist who represents the side you’re technically (😪) supposed to root for, was written to say that so Shigaraki the character would question the reasoning behind the accusation that he has no friends.

He has friends! So why is somebody accusing him of not having any!

Again—in Mirio’s, and pretty much everyone else’s eyes—Shigaraki does not seem like he has anything he wants to preserve.

Twice DIED wanting to protect the League. Touya is trying to die. Literally. Spinner is in very very serious danger of literally exploding, the second he goes against AFO. Toga is desperate for someone to hear her but is giving up and nose diving into destruction. Compress (for all the characters know) could be dead.

The things Twice liked are not being spared from all of this.

Like, the indication to the other characters that Shigaraki genuinely cares for the League (which we know he does) is completely absent right now in their eyes, and that is what that line is supposed to call him out on.

“He’s wrong!” We know. But the question is why would he think that about Shigaraki in the first place.

This also ties into how Twice’s blood would best be used fighting alongside the LOV again at the end. Because Twice wanted his friends to be safe, and for him to fight one last time with them and help preserve what he cared about (the League members’ lives) and see each LOV member getting what they’ve wanted (being saved).

[pikahlua]

So how about the DFO theory returning because how else would afo know that bakugou has wanted to be like all might since childhood

Because Katsuki told him.
