Horikoshi in the Q&A for the MHA Art Exhibition in 2021:
Q: Is it fun drawing All Might's muscle form?
A: Yes, absurdly so. And I think I'll be drawing him a lot from now on...!?
What did he mean by that? 🤔
202
Horikoshi was so real for this I hope more characters fall victim to the short-hairification
203
Aoyama's traitor reveal leaking from a random tiktok account a whole day before leaks were supposed to drop was wild twitter.com/ButNonsense/st…
204
Kurogiri right now is every translator's worst nightmare because he can either be saying random sounds or hints to upcoming developments. For that reason, think that ignoring what is most likely him trying to say "Shota" is a very weird decision from the Viz team
205
The positivity towards MHA in these past few days has been super refreshing and great to see, both in the anime and manga departments. I actually don't mind criticism as long as it's not mindless hating, but seeing everyone collectively say "yeah ngl hori cooked" is so satisfying
207
The Todoroki family subplot is Horikoshi's magnum opus. It's amazing how every new bit of information we get recontextualizes the whole picture and adds a brand new layer of depth. Nothing else in the story comes close and I'm dying to see how it'll end
208
This scene hits extra hard after the most recent episode
209
The "these eyes" scene wasn't in the original release of the chapter, it was later added in volume 31 and I'm so glad it did. It's one of the most powerful scenes in the entire flashback imo
210
Hmmmm I wonder which white-haired ice user whose name we still don't know could be part of this distinguished family 🤔
212
Deku says "I won't let you do that. But I'm also not going to ignore the you who were crying." He tied Shigaraki's hands using Black Whip and now the two of them are on solid ground, about to start the fight. End of chapter #MHA379
213
He then says "and that's the only thing that will save me, hero", but in a matter of seconds Deku has already pulled him out of the flying U.A. Gentle and Mirio are confused, but he says that now that Shigaraki has all his quirks, the flying coffin became useless #MHA379
214
As he says all of this, he starts to emerge from within the sea of hands and fingers. He ends his speech with "our wish is to destroy everything that has to do with that house" as he smiles and his hair goes back to its normal length. Shigaraki is back!! #MHA379
215
Shigaraki continues his speech, saying that he doesn't need AFO. His heart will never surrender, just like Nagant's or Gentle's. The world as it is right now originated the house in which he was born, and that's why Tomura Shigaraki and Tenko Shimura's wish is the same #MHA379
216
AFO despairs and tries to order Kurogiri to teleport him to where his true body is, but Kurogiri begins to glitch. He says he needs to protect Shigaraki, but we slowly start to see more of Shirakumo's face as he says "who... where.... friend..." #MHA379
217
The fusion seemed to have worked, but Shigaraki kept his "origin" hidden deep within his heart. This allowed him to get his personality back little by little without AFO noticing, creating a way out of his control #MHA379
218
The fingers represent Shigaraki. He laughs at AFO and says that his plan to use others didn't work out. He also says that he knows that AFO only raised him to piss off All Might and then to use his hatred to steal One for All, but that plan also turned out to be a failure #MHA379
219
Deku understands what's happening and smiles. Cut to the inner All For One screaming with hatred, saying that it makes no sense for a trash like her, who killed innocent people and even allies, to play the victim. Suddenly, fingers start coming out of his mouth #MHA379
220
Cut to the present and we see Nagant saying that she wants to get at least one more shot off to pay back Hawks and Deku for bringing her out of the darkness and reminding her of the meaning of her existence. She then shoots and hits Shigaraki's other hand #MHA379
221
The doctor says he can't tell her since she's in custody, but Nagant says that Midoriya asked her to fight alongside them. Rock Lock then shows up and says that he will allow her to join the war. He hands her a device that contains all information about the villains #MHA379
222
The chapter begins with a flashback of the Central Hospital just after Kurogiri woke up. Everyone is screaming and we see Doctor Mario saying that Nagant can't go moving around, but she tells him to shut up and tell her the enemy's location #MHA379
