might be an unpopular opinion but I do wish afo had more kills in the series. I get it hope and all, but I still feel disappointed with how tomura had more kills than afo had in the entire series. makes him feel less threatening.

If we are honest, bnha has never been a consistent manga. It has really good arcs in between of mediocre and bad ones. Hori himself is not a good writer, but he has his moments. Mva or Deku seinen were interesting good takes on character, but Hori has the tendency to take things back and at this point it's getting ridiculous.
I guess to some extent we had an idea of what to wait from the plot, he was making points about interesting stuff...until AfO took over. And then it became a huge narrative problem.
The manga is on its last volume or something and we still don't know his motivation. He took autonomy from Tomura right when he was starting to be promising as a villain. He's shown to be behind what happened to Touya, he's shown to have a hand in the corruption of society, but since he's so unidimensional nothing really moves.
I'd say the story has been stagnant for the last 80 chapters? They fight and nothing happens, characters have revelations, but nothing happens, plots are tied, but nothing happens.
Look Dabi vs Shoto fight for example. What purpose did it serve to the plot? Did change Shoto's mentality? No. Did change Dabi's? Also no. Had any sort of impact in the plot? So far no. We learned Dabi's story, but what after that? He went looking for Enji, like he's been doing all the manga. It happened 40 chapters ago bro. Still stand by.
Society was broken after Dabi's reveal, Deku was cast away. Until he wasn't anymore and instead of showing him bonding with his classmates, specially Ochako since she defended him, we saw none of it. Just seinen is over, let's back to school vibes!
Toga vs Ochako. This one it's so stupid it could be a meme: Toga is no longer in love with izuku. She asked him to be her boyfriend and he told her no wtf girl gtfo. Now she has an arc. Now she wants revengeeeee from hero society because he didn't want to make out. Oh, and she misses Jin, si she'll use his quirk. I wish i was making this one up.
Also heteromorphic quirk was a thing. Discrimination was a thing. Then it wasn't.
Amerikaren was here too with some life changing reality shaping powers. Hori gave AfO one million powers or something and then, in the same chapter her nerfed him for reasons lol and Tomura...he's the bad guy, but then not so much, but then yes, but then no, but the- so he's in control, he remembers his past, he's unleashed. Then not, he's a prisoner, but then yes, he's free, but no really.
The revelation that he always knew afo wanted his body, he never cared about ofa...THEN WHY DID YOU TOOK THE AFO BRO?????? the only motive Tomura accepted AfO as a quirk was BECAUSE the doctor told him about OfA. That's just straight up inconsistency.
Also, Bakugo is dead but not really in the background. Because Tomura killed him, but not quite, because AfO killed him, but not really, because his own quirk or something. So beast jeanist and headshot (or whatever the ninja guy is called) are making fabric surgery on him..."girl, i have Deus ex machina you cannot imagine." Horikoshi Kohei, 2022.
Now they are all fighting and, fair, it's a war, but what else. It's getting really fucking boring. Every 3 chapters a new character is dropped. Camie is here? Is that supposed to mean something? Now, the meatballs guy is there too! and he has something important to say.
The meatball guy is the son of one of the jailors and he's angry his dad is dead.
Bro i'd be angry too if making meatballs with teeth was my family heirloom. What a piece of writing.
