Rukasu’s summary says “The chapter begins with Camie confused by the fact that AFO has a face now.” That tracks. The real question is if she thinks he’s even a little bit hot.

Immobilize Himiko Toga = uh oh! She’s at her most dangerous when she’s feeling big emotions and/or trying to evade capture (her greatest fear is being caught).

“Stop AFO ASAP.” Tsukauchi’s not wrong, but he basically told Hawks to keep going for the head. Interesting that Shishikura makes a point of NOT giving in to the urge to kill AFO….

AFO goes Zeus mode with lightning attacks (he’s already got the toga, the cropped hair, the illegitimate children). Hawks realizes AFO is finally using some quirks, whereas before was he was “just” using the brute strength and wisdom of a 200-year-old, 7’4” floating demon lord.

Hawks goes back to being Endeavor’s hype man, saying Endeavor is bringing hope to him, Inasa, and the 1A kids. Inasa confirms he’s backing Shoto and Endeavor. Honestly I would love seeing Inasa with Shoto here, rather than whatever is going on with Hawks and Endeavor. I do not see what Endeavor is doing (yet) that is giving hope to the kids. They had to kick his ass to make him help them retrieve Izuku, and it’s not like he was really caring for Izuku before then. Maybe the “hope” derived from the fact he’s still standing? Idk, no matter what Hawks says, this just won’t land for me until I see what happens with Toya.

AFO simps for All Might and talks about how he was the only man to “match” AFO. Wow, that’s quite the compliment! AFO just didn’t know what he had until it was “gone,” huh? Then, it turns out All Might DID tell Hawks and Endeavor about how AFO’s quirk worked in terms of stealing — it needs a physical, corporeal touch. (God I wish we saw that actual conversation instead of hearing about it from Hawks. Like I want Endeavor’s face while All Might explains his brutal battle against AFO over their magic quirks.)
