No idea what we're supposed to get from the Ochako Toga "fight." But I guess this arc isn't ending yet.

It just keeps getting more dismal. I only hope that whoever is in that plane/chopper from the previous chapter will be able to save the day because it looks real bad.

I think deep down she wanted to be saved or something but it was just not working out.

Not really. Its a fuckin waste of time. Why do I care about a set up with shit characters, when the only three out of the fuckin class that matters is Bakugo, Deku and Todoroki. And no the samurai fighting Kaido is boring.

i think it was specifically for this arc. if you've noticed Horikohi said in author note that he ain't getting enough time and busy in character's design that's why he took last week off. i am speculating that time skip would happen after the war arc.

I haven't been this invested in a MHA chapter in a very long time. Not sure what exactly stuck out so much, but the fight between Ochaco and Toga really showcased some of the best character writing in the series thus far and compacted a whole bunch of character baggage and motivations into a single chapter. There is still stuff that needs to be revealed about Toga, but it seems like that will be done soon enough.

I would agree. Uraraka gave a straight forward answer to Toga but seeing how her answer made her cry showed she felt a bit wrong. Toga's dialogue in a way basically felt like a last reach of help. I feel the dynamic has developed a lot more potential now.

Alright so I was a bit confused by the dialogue between Toga and Ochaco at first but now I got it and it's actually pretty sad.

Toga wanted to hear from someone she loves if she still had a chance to live in this society and be friends with Ochaco and Deku while still being herself, to which Ochaco of course answers by the negative, her ways are just too out of bounds for her to be redeemable or accepted.

Toga now has confirmation that she won't ever be able to be friends with the heroes she loves and that fighting between them is inevitable, hence the tears at the end. She now accepts it and goes back to the only place that will accept her as she is : the League.

Actually a really good character focused chapter that just feels oddly placed at this point of the arc.

SO next week we'll have Shoto, Endeavor and Dabi at the same spot, if the focus is on ANYTHING else imma lose it. It's now or never for the Dabi reveal, the setting is perfect and it's the only thing that would be as climactic as Deku vs Shigaraki and a superb way to conclude the arc.

That is if he's actually who EVERYONE READING THIS SERIES thinks he is, depending on how it's done it could be one of the very best or one of the very worst chapter of the manga imo

I thought the dialogue between Toga and Ochaco was how both of them dealt with how they loved people. I believe Toga "loves" Deku, but that kind of "love" involves her sucking blood, which isn't normal, whilst Ochaco loves Deku but she tries to suppress it as to not cause any interference whilst she's being a hero or to not have any conflict in her life.
Toga didn't get the answer she wanted from Ochaco because Ochaco suppresses her feelings whilst Toga doesn't which has caused Toga to be outcast by society for the way she expresses her "love".
But that's just my interpretation.

Seeing it both on this forum and on viz media comments has me laughing but at the same time has me sad. Horikoshi is actually a good mangaka for developing the world, the story, and it's characters, all with pretty great pacing, but some people really just want the main stuff....Make's me even sadder when I see people saying that this arc is dragged out. Idk about you, but I never had one thought during that this entire arc that it's being dragged out.

If Dabi really is Touya then the next chapter is the perfect opportunity to reveal it. The setup is literally all right there.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Damn, fantastic chapter again. Good to see Ida again and joining in the main fight, also Nejire. When she got mad after she saw Ryukyu was great.

Yeah, there's no way for them to accept Toga if she keeps being who she is. Blood sucking is just no no in society. As much as her wanting to become friends with Ochaco and Izuku is genuine, the way she does it is not acceptable. The league really will be the only place that will accept her.

And oh fuck, that ending is hype. Give me the next chapter now.

I don't know how heroes will be saved here without some crazy deus ex machina like Midoriya having some regeneration superpower or arrival of other heroes from all of Japan etc. With each chapter it seems more and more that the hope is lost for them, especially when Gigantomakia arrived.

The league is here and the already worn out heroes have more work on their hands now. How are they even gonna fight the villains?

Toga vs Uraraka was okay, felt like a catfight tbh cause Toga even said she wanted to confirm things cause they both like the same guy.

Toga vs. Ochako actually gave me alot of feels. I feel like Toga saying she loves Deku is the same as her feelings towards Jin, but it's also on the side where she feels happy yet sad around Ochako. Toga's answer and her question can be interpreted in many ways which is why she still has alot of revelations to pull off. As far as Ochako goes, I still feel she is suppressing her love for Izuku, b ut not as much as before. The whole chaos in which Dabi joins with Gigantomachia against Endeavour and Shoto is going to be REALLY LIT🔥 And even Tenya joined up the fight. Looks like a second Stain arc to me. Considering Bakugo and Torino are out of commission, Nejire has to get them outta here ASAP.

Ooooh looks like Toga didn’t like Uraraka’s answer so I’m guessing she’s gonna become a big problem in the future because all her hesitation is gone now.

Feels like this arc is reaching its climax now and I am nervous but excited for it!

This was an okay chapter. The arc started out strong, but now it's got way too many parts without the proper pacing to truly go in depth with each one. It's also starting to drag out quite a bit :/ still enjoyable though

I really like the idea of toga feeling the need to ask about how others see her... was kinda hoping ochako would say something nice, but maybe we'll leave it to Deku

actually I'm calling it: Deku's totally gonna spare toga's life, and she's going to be really moved

Toga would have an easier time making friends if she just keeps her bloodlust in check but that's the one thing she can't even do, looks like. There are a couple ways to prevent someone like her from turning into the monster she is now yet they didn't even think about helping her out before it was too late, sadly.

I don't even understand the motivation behind Ochaco's words. Is she not trying to apprehend the killer, Toga HImiko? Does it MATTER what the fuck she thinks about love??? She killed sooooooooooooooooo many people!!! The JUDGE and JURY will decide her sentence in a matter of instance. I don't understand the point of this. Toga's personality is IRRELEVANT to everyone and everything that she destroyed. This is such a cheap attempt at "humanizing" a goddamn terrorist!
