Juuuuuuuust caught up to Hero Academia after not reading any of it for 2 months.
Gotta say, we appear to be having some serious power-creep on Shigaraki's side, in addition to Deku's. PLEASE don't turn this into Bleach...

I didn't finish Bleach so I don't know how this compares but I'm not worried about escalation issues here because we know Deku and Shigaraki are meant to be around All Might/AFO level at the end and we have an idea of what that looks like.
Granted, there is a bit more cause for worry since the Deku thing given that there was already a perfectly fine and realistic path to follow for him to reach the top and so whatever else seems "perfectly fine and realistic" to me right now may get upended too. But still, I'm not too concerned.
I don't think power-creeps were the problem with Bleach, the problem was how the fights were written, bad guy reveals a secret ability that counters the his opponents ability then suddenly the good guy asspulls a power that counters the bad guy and so on
It was both (reaching the epitome that was the final arc), along with the fact that Kubo kept sloppily expanding the cast despite it already being huge to begin with.
Shigaraki continues to destroy more and more of the town. Redestro's allies try to save him but they see Shigaraki's face and pull back. Redestro surrenders, telling Shigaraki the Liberation Army will follow him. Machia cries.
Shigaraki: "You're the CEO, so you have money right?" Our story is accelerating and no one can stop us anymore. The League's victory is in sight...!?

Huh, was not expecting this actually. The league backed by Re-Destro and a substantial amount of money is gonna be potent as hell. Mass Production High Ends would be insane Endeavor lost an eye just trying to take down one, just imagine 5 or 10 jumping heroes together.
Which is likely why ReDestro offered his allegiance, last chapter he saw in Shiggy everything the ideals of the MLA proposed and then some. I'm loving this outcome personally, I always viewed this arc as the establishment of the League as the defacto antagonists and tbis cements it for me. The MLA ceding their resources and influenceis the first step in the League becoming a coalition of every villain group, a powerhouse of evil that has a nationwide network that will burn down the house. I cannot see it going any other way.
When Hawks is inducted into the league, however, Shigaraki will be surrounded by people he can't really trust. Skeptic seems like the type of guy to hold a grudge.
And Geten for that matter, that's if he's still alive, politician guy as well, I agree with you in that we need to see how it actually all goes down because at the moment it feels a bit too....neat?
I think we'll have to wait untill next chapter to see about that. It seems like this chapter is just Re-Destro making the case and Shigaraki responding yes, not much more.

Boom. The League wins and gains the MLA in full. Can't say I'm surprised as the alternative was destroying them altogether and that would've been a waste. Given Re-Destro's reaction as well in the last chapter, it's not surprising.
The heroes are screwed. This is hella exciting.

seeing ReDestro completely and utterly defeated (dude lost both his feet by the looks of it?) while Shiggy looks likes he's been reborn gave me chills
League and the MLA top brass skeddadle. Ordinary fighters stay behind and tell heroes and police that the league came to Deika and just started destroying the town and left.
It's a half truth and most of the evidence of the MLA fighting back will have been obliterated.
It's also possible that they could just evacuate everyone in the town and pretend that the league either killed or kidnapped all of them

if the LoV want to use the MLA's money and influence, I don't think that is such a good idea
they all should be getting new gear now but I wonder if it'll be to the extent of something like ReDestro battle armor
Sunday? But i read it always fridays o.O
Apparently there was another crackdown on early copies so who knows
Yeah, I read the spoiler tags, but no need to comment until the chapter is out.
Waiting patiently...

anyone else think the manga is going to pivot towards All Might's inevitable and already forecasted death now?
I don't see how they put it off now that shiga and the LoV are so stupid strong. AFO's successor has realized his role. It's time for OFA's to have to do the same

honestly i hope that Horikoshi waits until at least the middle of their second year for the LOV to start making big moves
also do you think Horikoshi planned for Shigaraki's power to be that ridiculous from the jump or do you think he just realized that Deku would flatten him if he didn't give him a huge buff

It is around the time when Nighteye's vision said he would die
What type of sloppy writing is this...
Whats sloppy about it? It was set up last chapter how this was gonna play out.
I don't see the problem, the MLA goal was always glorified anarchism, ReDestro pretty much saw that Shigaraki as embodiment of there goal and if they refused Shigaraki would have just killed them all
What type of sloppy writing is this...
If you read the page above, it makes plenty of sense. A person preaching freedom just encountered the most 'free' person he has ever seen.
He says in that cap you posted that he believes true freedom is to be free of the history/burden of the past. In ReDestro's eyes, the ideal leader of the Liberation army understands their values, but doesn't feel pressured by the history plaguing the faction. He simply *is* a force of liberation. No ties, no hindrances, no oppressive forces. Just pure freedom. It's something ReDestro himself could never be because he's constantly caught under the weight of the expectations placed upon him
I thought Redestro more or less said at the start that he thought the League's goals and the LA were close to being the same but that the LA should be the ones making history instead due to their legacy. It makes enough sense that he'd switch sides if he view if he came to the conclusion that the legacy doesn't matter...though that's ignoring how the League is AfO's pet project. I guess it wouldn't be tonally appropriate to break out Big Shiggy from jail right now.
It didn't happen to fast tho, Re-destro made a snap judgement call as leader of his cult. I'm not sure what kind of build up you wanted....
Anyone else think this is eventually lead to a massive wide-ranged attack on Japan by the Re-Destro and his forces as well as Shigaraki's forces which leads to most of the ProHeroes being captured or killed and leads to the destruction of UA and forcing the students to escape Japan or go into hiding. I am 90% sure the Destruction of UA is coming.
It has been a long-standing theory that the Prison Break will lead to the death of All Might and the collapse of Hero Society forcing the heroes to the underground much in the way that Japan was like during AFO's heyday.
After this chapter I'm feeling more and more confident that that is actually the direction this is all heading.
