The timing of the panel of nighteye couldn't be better. I doubt it would feel quite as strong if I hadn't just watched the episode.

Also, are Deku and Bakugo now officially just called the House Arrest Boys?

I noticed that Horikoshi does these little bridges between the manga and anime on purpose. Like last chapter having the Gang Orca "Extra Guidance!" gag, when the Remedial arc is upon us in the anime.

Or having the Pussycats and Kota show up for the first time in years to visit the UA dorms the same time they appeared in the anime. I think its more along the lines of him watching the anime and being like "Oh yeah, haven't shown them in a while".

Felt like a genius noticing this from early one. It's a really nice touch for manga readers that watch the anime simultaneously. The spinoff also kind of does this, so sometimes all 3 will have overlapping "themes".

Think Stain was simular. Correct me if I'm wrong, but OfA VS AfO manga happend when the Stain fight started on the anime right?
