Cute asks 

“…-sigh-, let’s see”

1- breeze; most precious childhood memory?

“I think I have already answered something like this before, so I’ll respond with something different.”

“This one happened about 15 years ago, I am currently 24 years old for those who don’t know, but Mimic and pops helped me out on this one… It was a few days before Overhaul’s birthday, and we wanted to do something special, like… a surprise party, it would be small, as only the four of us would be there, but we wanted it to be fun, so we spent a lot of time planning, we would have meetings with pops in secret, but of course, Overhaul was very clever… the day arrived, Mimic and Pops needed time to set up the place, so I was locked half a day in my room keeping Chisaki busy until we were called for lunch, I remember that back then, Chisaki would always hold my hand while going anywhere, the place was big, so we didn’t want to get lost without the other, just thought I’d throw in that simple detail, in the end, he was speechless, it was his first birthday party and we all had lots of fun, by the end of the day pops said that it had been my idea, and Mimic added saying that they simply had helped me out, Mimic is about 6 years older than me by the way, and… when I recall this moment I can only think about Kai’s smile, and how he wrapped me in a hug and said ‘thank you, Hari’… The simple gesture was small, but to me, it meant way more than to anyone else… I… I wish he would smile more often.”

2- magic; what are five flaws you have?

“1- I don’t treat myself, 2- I overwork myself and then some more, 3- Sometimes when people talk to me I go completely mute if I don’t know the person, 4- I want to hold someone’s hand, 5- my house isn’t big enough for more reptiles”

treasure; what was something that made you smile today?

So I’ve been asked by several of my followers if I could review MHA after Fairy Tail. Well here’s my first ever MHA review. Chapter 148 “The sorrows of young Togaice”

Our Chapter opens up on Deku tending to Aizawa, but Aizawa is more focused on getting Lockrock some help. Also we see that Lockrock’s Deadbolt may be wearing off, as the walls start moving again.

We cut to Nighteye vs Twice

Twice send his clone of Rappa at Nighteye, but Nighteye is able to take him down with only getting grazed.

We see that Nighteye uses “Hypermass seals” along with his fighting style. Nighteye basically explains with his prediction he was able to handle Rappa’s speed. This is something I really like. It really shows that even with a non offensive quirk there are ways heroes can help their combat style

Okay, I know Nighteye was All Might’s sidekick, so I expected him to be in good shape, but it doesn’t detract from how badass this scene is. Oh it’s pretty standard shounen, with the shirt busted open and everything, but It’s still so cool seeing Nighteye in a ruined suit and showing off his washboard abs.

Nighteye hits Twice damaging his mask. Which causes him to start breaking apart.

Oh my god... That is so sweet. I mean , yes these are villains, but as you’ll soon see this chapter’s strength really is in humanizing the league of villains.

We see Toga start trying to comfort Twice not only over this Yakuza situation, but also how he feels responsible for taking Overhaul to meet Shigaraki. We then get a flash back.

We see Shigaraki telling Twice and Toga that are now Yakuza. Twice of course is naturally a little peeved.

I’ve got nothing to add... This is just a great scene. We see how much Twice still bears resentment for the Yakuza and how he can’t believe that after what they did Shigaraki is working with them and give him and Toga to Overhaul like pawns. The art of the panel, with all the black and shadows really highlights the emotion felt by Twice.

Again another great scene. We get to see more human aspects of Toga and see what this league means to her. This is just an amazing humanization of villains who are still clearly doing wrong, but we’re able to sympathize with them a lot more.

We then get a scene from Shigaraki. (Wow that smile sure is a lot more pleasant than the one he gave Deku) And he knows that Overhaul really only views them as pawns, but he also knows they are going to be in the way of the League’s goals.

We get a small flash forward

“I believe in you” words you wouldn’t expect from a villain

Well this revitalizes Toga and Twice and they begin to voice their opinions on the Yakuza and their boss, with Irinaka listening. And like all individuals who are subjected to listening to opinins they don’t like, Irinaka acts accordingly

Our chapter ends with Irinaka just saying, ‘fuck it’ and wants them to all kill each other.

Post Chapter followup: My god, this was amazing.

The biggest strength as I said was the humanization of villains this chapter. All these characters like Toga, Twice, and Shigaraki, who’ve all been presented in this villainous light, we now start seeing there is this loyality and love between them all. The stuff with Shigaraki makes a great juxtaposition with Overhaul and how he quite literally sees his men as expendable.

It’s not just the villains, this chapter is able to balance out giving Nighteye a cool spotlight moment. In  fact, this whole chapter is just brilliantly paced.

The twist at the end with Irinaka having enough of this and wants them all to kill each other, is again great.

There really isn’t anything negative I can say.

Final Verdict: 10/10
