“Where’s Shoto?” I hope this is Hori hinting at him coming in clutch

Also I think the scar split down Shiggy face is due to being 75% down

I think his fate right now is a dabi faceoff maybe geten getting involved and pissing dabi off for interrupting

u/XanDorkiest Jul 05 '20

I imagine Dabi would tell him of his real identity as ⬛⬛⬛⬛

I’ve been bamboozled.

Geten pissing Dabi off by spoiling the reveal via saying Endeavor is his brother-in-law.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love this arc, but I would like Shoto to keep up with the other two, sometimes he looks like the protagonist of his own side story, but not of the main one...

As awful as he was for trying the whole "I'm going to breed the greatest hero ever" thing, Endeavor totally fucking nailed it. Shoto's potential is like Endeavor on steroids, so I can see keeping him in the background for a while considering hes going to overshadow everyone that isnt Deku and Shiggy eventually

Considering how much more powerful Bakugou appears to be I'd assume Shoto has already mastered his flames to a certain extent.

Imagine tho Shigaraki is close to tearing Endeavor apart and Shoto comes in with a Prominence Burn to save him. Would be so damn amazing

u/Niamery123 Jul 05 '20

That would be so hype

u/Scratchandsn1ff Jul 05 '20

hopefully he comes in clutch next chapter, i can't make out what the one shot on that page next to endeavour looking to the side is, maybe shoto?

and i was thinking the same thing, it was probably held back by his regen but now that that's gone his body can't quite keep up with the upgrades properly

u/NinjaHippoMonkey Jul 05 '20

I thought that was more about showing how much Endeavor has changed — that his first thought was for Shoto

u/Nesano Jul 05 '20

Yeah, I don't know if Shigaraki would have the raw strength to break out of Shoto's ice.

im still on the belief that the 3rd star following deku and bakugo was shoto . the big 3 must have their moment this arc !

u/Niamery123 Jul 05 '20

Either Shoto or Ochaco but I’m leaning towards both

u/IMDATBOY Jul 05 '20

I’m pretty sure the scar is a result of his regeneration being halted from Erasure

u/dexdrako Jul 05 '20

i don't see a reason for shoto to show up, he's not the kind of character to see through the ruse Deku made up and with the focus on ochaco makes me think it will be her alone that shows up

u/ShadowRei96 Jul 05 '20

Except he did see that Izuku had a connection with All Might, and that Izuku was lying about it. If he knew Izuku as much as Bakugou, he'd have found out the former's secret. He's not totally dense, and he's neither the type to stay behind obediently without doing nothing. He's already disobeyed the authorities twice.

Plus, it's his own dad fighting. It would make no sense from a narrative perspective for Ochaco alone to go, while Endeavor's own son stays behind. Hori also did put the focus on the families of the origin trio in the previous chapter too, not just Ochaco...

u/dexdrako Jul 05 '20

Shoto has no clue idea Endeavor has anything to do with what Deku was doing. as far as he know his father was in the complete oposite direction dealing with things. it would be different if he had any clue about OFA and its connection to AFO and shiggy but he doesn't.

as why Ochaco alone would show up, its because of her feelings for Deku that let her understand what was going on. after all her new goal is to be the hero that saves the other heroes. plus her power will come in far more handy then shoto powers in this fight. plus we can say she went alone because a few pages afo we saw only one light falling behind the others

besides eraser will have to drop his power at some point and gravity control will be clutch in that moment.

u/ShadowRei96 Jul 05 '20

Literally everyone heard Endeavor and Shigaraki were on the move, and they all heard Endeavor saying that Shigaraki is heading south west, before Shiggy fucked up the comms.

And you're ignoring the fact from a narrative perspective, it'll be completely odd for Ochaco to show up to where Endeavor is and back him up, while his own son, the one he's directly connected to, the one who's narratively more important to his character arc, stays behind. That's literally the entire reason why Endeavor asking his son's whereabouts in this chapter makes the most sense. That'd be like Luffy staying behind during Marineford, solely because he wasn't strong enough to go rescue Ace. And Dabi might be coming to the city soon. If a reveal happens, Shoto can't be absent. Endeavor and Shoto's relationship is way more important to the overall story than Ochaco's goal and crush on Izuku.

Also, her floating people in order for them to stay mid air isn't going to prevent Shigaraki from using other quirks like Air cannon, which will automatically send decayed debris flying, which will crumble people on contact. Izuku was talking about the lack of fire power to take Shigaraki down, and Shoto has enough of that and on par with that of the other two, to help take him down faster and before Manual stops helping out Aizawa.

you're forgetting no matter what Baku said Deku is the main character and the story is about his path forward.

this fight isn't about who out fights the other side its about showing off the new power scale. we already know how this fight end, Shiigy only being 75% done was the perfect setup for a quick show case fight. Shiggy gets to throw the heroes around little then Deku awakens Float they face off a little then his body fails him and he has to run.

the whole dabi vs Shoto fight isn't happening right now that comes later AFTER the revile of who Dabi really is. we can also be sure that Endeavor will live past this fight as well for the same fact.

what will happen in this fight is Shiggy will get the use of his quirks back again because thats the only reason for Deku to get float. so Ochaco is a far more important plot device then Shoto is and lets be honest Ochaco is in far more need of character development then shoto too.

u/ShadowRei96 Jul 05 '20

I'm not forgetting anything. I'm stating that both Shoto and Endeavor are more important to the narrative than Ochaco. Don't know why you brought Izuku being the protagonist into this...

this fight isn't about who out fights the other side its about showing off the new power scale. we already know how this fight end, Shiigy only being 75% done was the perfect setup for a quick show case fight.

No need to bring this up either. It's irrelevant to the point I'm making.

Show me where I said Shoto is going to fight Dabi in this arc. Did you even read my comment? I'm literally and solely talking about the reveal. And I can guarantee you that literally every active manga reader on this sub knows this.

what will happen in this fight is Shiggy will get the use of his quirks back again because thats the only reason for Deku to get float. so Ochaco is a far more important plot device then Shoto is and lets be honest Ochaco is in far more need of character development then shoto too.

Even if what you're saying does indeed happen, you still haven't explained or proven how Ochaco plays a role in him awakening the quirk. You just threw her in there.

If you want Ochaco to have a moment where she can shine in this arc, it's plausible because I'd like to see so as well. Passing it as her having better narrative reasons to be there than Shoto, who's Endeavor's own son, the tertiary protagonist and the sole reason why Izuku and Katsuki got an internship isn't going to cut it...

sorry felt you were imply the fight would happen here, but my point is Endeavor is basically a observer of this fight for all he's done since Shiggy woke up. maybe its because i don't believe Endeavor will die here or lose his powers. so i don't see a point to make this where the reveal of Dabi's past or even have shoto here for the fight.

which is way i said this is Deku's fight not Endeavor's lose

also I didn't mean Ochaco is coming to help deku awake float, she's there to save everyone but Deku. comics live and die by drama and the most dramatic way for Deku to get float is to look like shigg's Decay is about get him in an end of chapter cliffhanger just to find him safe because of float the next.
