#my personal theory is that the hpsc was involved bc for him to go from such grizzly beginnings to such a role now

[hella1975]

literally nezu is so interesting as a character ‘he was experimented on by humans when he was young because of his genius level intellect and he is now the principal of the most famous hero school in the country and possibly the world’ HELLO???

LIKE I THINK WE MISSED A FEW CHAPTERS MAYBE????

[thyandrawrites]

There's so much that's going on at once that I don't know what to scream about first. This chapter, holy shit aaahhhhhh

(chapter 291 spoilers below)

- bby touya hhhhhhhh

- keigo's dad was a serial killer and thief???

Omg pls tell me more about the skeletons in the HPSC closet, I'm enjoying this way too much

- also rip Keigo I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all

- SERIOUSLY tho the irony of escaping one murderer by being saved by another one, lmao. Horikoshi is about to wreck this man's whole career and I'm so here for it

- guess he'll have plenty of free time now that he'll be jobless lmao

- Hawks is my second fave character, I just like to bully him bc he deserves it

- DID I MENTION BABY TOUYA?? AHHHHHHHHHHH BC IF SO I SHALL MENTION HIM AGAIN. UNFOLLOW ME NOW BECAUSE HIS CUTE ROUND FACE AND CHEEKY SMILE AND HIS LITTLE ONESIE AND HIS RED HAIR TURNED WHITE IS ALL I'M GONNA WRITE ABOUT FOR A WEEK

- DABI SHOWING A GODDAMN DNA TEST ON HIS TV BROADCAST. I'M LOSING MY GODDAMN MIND

- ok but strategic brilliance aside, I'm kinda dying here at the thought of him possibly stealing one of toga's blood vials

- enji: I don't believe you

dabi: here's a little DNA TEST ON A NATIONWIDE BROADCAST, as a treat

- seriously dhjdbdja and I thought last chapter he was acting extra... I love him so much

- tell me, Hori. Is the need for a dna test the real reason why dabi put up with ujiko all this time? Lmfaoooo

- losing it at dabi telling him he's glad endeavor is fine so he can destroy him vs endeavor not even acknowledging that the person in front of him can be touya because that implies acknowledging that he broke him

- jeanist is alive, how fucking boring. I like exactly none of that good victim vs bad victim bs but I hope this is gonna get addressed as another reason why Hawks sucks

(hfjsjsb I swear I do love hawks he's just lame)

- let dabi kill his father without a top ten hero interrupting 2kforever

- seriously, I can't believe jeanist and miruko are such cockblockers, give it a rest and let him be sexy. This man waited something like 10 years to commit patricide in front of the biggest stage in hero history, don't be a dick

- omg tho rip to future students when they'll have to study this war in school

- so should we assume that touya is very close in age to fuyumi? I think the chapter disproved the twins theory (glad I got this right), but touya looked extremely baby in that one panel

- what else happened, damn, there's so much to comment on

- the lov didn't know??? Kinda curious if this was a translation mistake or not. Leaks are usually pretty bad at conveying nuance. Shig & Dabi mentioned having a plan, so I'm assuming that it involved Dabi's little show. But now this?? Did he just film the broadcast on his own then? If so, how did he preface his plan of ruining hero society with a little speech? Did he just walk into a meeting saying that he was gonna nuke Endeavor's career and then just. Not specify how? And Shigaraki still rolled with it? Cause if so I'm living for it. Not to say I'm surprised Shig would do it, it's terribly on brand for his type of leadership, but my shigadabi little heart is thriving lol

- oh I almost forgot:

did endeavor just. Leave a child to train inside a cremation chamber alone???? With no supervision? What the actual fuck (not that I'd be surprised of this either, it's terribly on brand for him too, but. Guess it's time to wait for the full chapter before making assumptions)

- ALSO LOSING MY GODDAMN MIND AT THE FACT THAT TOUYA DIED IN A LITERAL CREMATORIUM AND THEN ADOPTED THE NAME "DABI" (cremation) AND NO ONE CONNECTED THE FUCKING TWO DOTS. Hero society deserves to crumble just for that. Seriously, how dumb, self-absorbed and blind can they be. I get why Dabi had to put this much thought into making this as straightforward and theatrical as possible. They can't fucking get a hint if it smacks them in the face

- I know they called it a "fireproof training room" but what else do you call a restricted space capable of sustaining 2k degrees fucking celsius.

- I'm just. Gonna leave this here. Bc it's self-explanatory:

- also kinda losing it at the thought that Dabi has been missing a little piece of his jaw all this time fhbsjdhdjs give this man a medic that's not ujiko asap

- WE GET TO SEE NATSUO'S REACTION

- LEAKS WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME DOWN I NEED TO SEE HIS FACE

- little touya being super proud of the big fire he can summon versus his face falling when he gets burned for the first time:

- dabi using PROMINENCE BURN of all techniques... Lmao don't tell me I was right about it all this time... And that he really "died" while trying to master his dad's technique

- I'll probably continue to lose my mind over this chapter when I read the full thing, but thanks for bearing with me in the meantime
