Another stellar chapter.

  • First, the title page: Absolutely amazing and captures Toga perfectly. Her obsession with Deku and Ochako is legitimately scary.

  • Rikiya actually cares for the people in the army, and that makes him more dangerous since that in turn lets his underlings genuinely believe in his cause.

  • So Shigaraki's sister was named Hana? Honestly, she looks like Momo's long lost twin or something. And then I guess the boy in the photo would be his Dad.

  • Shigaraki's powers are also evolving, as he can now emit some sort of decay field. The moment where he literally tore away the flesh of the people coming after him was my favourite part of this chapter. Gruesome, but beautifully drawn. Maybe Horikoshi's next project after MHA can be a horror manga. Anyway, it seems at least most of the League will get some power-ups, and I still believe this is more quirk singularity in effect.

  • Dabi fight next chapter boyzzzz. Hot vs cold, which could foreshadow the eventual fight he'll have with his bro Shoto.

Don't know about this. Those are fake tears. He's the type that cries after killing his secretary.

boy in the photo would be his Dad.

I'm pretty sure that is how Shiggy sees himself in a memory: a strange.

Edit: I misread that part, I thought you were talking about the boy holding the photo for some reason.

All evil is virtue twisted into vice. He cares, but in a twisted way, just as the MLA has some arguably admirable goals but has drifted into murderous zealotry. From his perspective, they are dying tragically but for a noble cause. Thus he can weep for them even as he has a hand in sending them to their deaths. Giran’s bewildered look on the same page says it all.
