1) “YEAH YEAH GOOD FUCKING LUCK WITH THAT, I BET KAMINARI IS GOING TO NEUTRALIZE YOUR QUIRK IN ONE SECOND.”- It seems their quirks differ in terms of ‘output’ and practicality. Kaminari’s allows him to produce his own charge and steadily build up electricity on his own, which can be further enhanced why giving him sockets and such to drain power from, but at the cost of lowered defences against this same electricity and how it impacts his brain, not to mention not having as powerful an output as Cigarette man. His quirk, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to allow him to produce his own electricity, but instead allows him to take existing sources of electricity and ‘maximise’ the output for an attack greatly exceeding what he put in, but with the side-effect of being unable to attack on his own if he’d deprived of electricity to produce the initial ‘spark’ he needs. If Kaminari sucks up all his voltage at once, he’s powerless unless somebody has multiple Tasers on hand to revitalise his energy. 2) “oh right, Cigarette man is fucking around and he`s about to find out. Kaminari`s quirk is far more powerful, and he doesn`t even need any tech to crank it up.

This is going to be a one-sided massacre for pikachu, that`s for sure.”- Generally, speaking, it seems Kaminari’s quirk is less powerful, but more ‘stable’ and versatile than Cigarette man’s. He won’t beat him in a battle of power, but he doesn’t need to if he’s got allies on his side to handle him whilst he cancels out his voltage blasts. 3) “HELL FUCKING YEAH, THERE GOES MY BOY

DOING AN EPIC POSE AND KICKASS ONE LINER BEFORE THE ELECTRICITY FRIES HIS BRAINS AND HE`S TAKEN OUT OF THE FIGHT FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. IT DOESN`T MATTER, HE DID HIS PART, WE`RE PROUD OF HIM.”- The power surge will either overload his brain to doofus mode, or if he’s improved his handling of the quirk he might be able to use it against some of the clustered PLF goons in the back, in an ironic reversal of what Cigarette man intended. 4) “HUH WHA

WHA

TNNO NO NO

WHAT THE FUCK NO HWAAWAKNS GWHATA YOUR DOING NO NO NO NO NO OH GOD

NO

OH GOD FUCKNO HES GON

NO ABSOLUTEY NO”- On the one hand we have heroes on the outside as the bastions of righteousness they claim to be, taking the fight straight to the assembled villains lurking in the shadows and bravely facing them head-on before people get hurt. On the other we have a lone hero hiding in the darkness and stabbing a mentally traumatised man who trusted him in the back whilst he’s confused and saddened by his betrayal. Both of these are necessary for the heroes to win with minimum casualties, but at the same time, it does underscore the grim reality that the kids can only afford to have the rose-tinted view of the situation (PLF Bad people, us heroes Good) because of somebody like Hawks having to get his hands dirty. And whilst the outcome might overall benefit the ‘greater good’, it’s still a bitter pill to swallow seeing how broken Jin’s been by everything in his life and then having this happen to him.    (MHA ch 255) 5) “oh my fucking god twice- You know, I wouldn`t rule this being you just being, well, you, but I prefer to believe it was Hawks tricking you into gathering intel for him to send back home, because that would be just fucking hilarious to see.”- Not so funny now, huh? Twice really does spend his entire time onscreen looking for somebody to put his trust in and be helpful to, and literally everybody but the League betrayed that trust in one way or another. Poor guy deserves a hug, but I doubt he’d trust anybody but the league to give it to him now. 6) “ABSOLUTELY NOT. FUCK NO

OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK- I MEAN, I KNOW THAT TWICE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS MEMBER OF THE LEAGUE AFTER SHIGARAKI AND TAKING HIM OUT OF THE FIGHT IS A PRIORITY BUT

NOT LIKE THIS

OH MY GOD NO HAWKS I WANTED YOU TO RECRUIT HIM OR AT THE LEAST KIDNAP HIM SO HE WOULD BE AWAY FROM DANGER. LOCK HIM AND GIVE HIM SOME PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT NOT FUCKING KILL HIM WHILE EVERYBODY IS DISTRACTED

1) “oh boy, what was it, two weeks? It felt like longer to me… The last time I read BNHA Mirko ripped her own arm off and died,, but then she went “nah” and continued to fight regardless. God bless the Great Rabbit herself, just as bloodthirsty as I remembered.”- Mirko: I’ll sleep when I’m off the clock and there’s no bad guys to beat up! Villains: You are literally just a head in a jar by this point…. Mirko: Then it’s a fair fight, ain’t it bitches! 2) “ Lot`s of familiar faces on this shot- well, not faces, backs, but even so, I remember most of those people in here. Also remember who that particular name refers too, and oh boy am I not looking forward to his return.”-

Been a long time since we saw him, or many of o’l Class 1A in action, eh?

3) “It`s not been a single page and I already feel the need to tell mineta to shut the fuck up. Oh boy this is going to be a good chapter if he`s going to keep complaining about doing his job here.”- I mean, he’s not technically wrong either. Heroes or not, the kids are still technically kids, and they’re uncomfortably close to the frontlines of a brewing war, with enemies determined to kill all heroes who oppose them, students included. Ideally, they should never have to face any members of the PLF directly or without extensive backup. Kaminari’s involvement in the frontlines is because of his quirk, and it mainly serves to counter the wide-range attacks of some of the more-skilled PLF members rather than actually fighting the dude directly, allowing the older pro heroes to subdue him close-range. Frankly, if the kids did have to face any villain, it’d be a sign that the heroes’ plans were going down the drain, because their involvement here seems mainly to provide as much aid as possible whilst minimising the personal risk to them until the fighting’s done. 

4) “Alright everybody, you trained your whole life- well, kind-of a whole year of your life for this moment, go there and die a hero`s death, make me proud!”- Honestly, given how chaotic and life-threatening 1A’s school life has been throughout this year, the odds are more in their favour for surviving this level of combat than most other students their age, including 1B. Experience is the deciding factor. 5) “Oh- okay, I wasn`t totally expecting to immediately cut to him, but also can`t say I am surprised by this. And, well, he`s not dying yet, but he`ll soon will be, considering that, by the looks of it, he`s right on the front line.”- Best place to stick a guy whose quirk runs the risk of electrocuting everybody in a wide radius around him without his equipment to focus it. In all else fails, the heroes can just yeet Kaminari into the clustered enemies and let him zap a whole swath of them unconscious from his discharge. 6) “And it`s right where we left last chapter if I`m not mistaken. The Skies are opening up and time of judgment is upon the Liberation Front. Shouldn`t have built your whole base out of a material your enemies can bend you know”-Cenemtos is like an Earthbender, but with way harder material to beat you up with. Not as plentiful in wooded areas though, but in this case, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. 7) “Oh no, not the conference! Damn you, heroes! Damn you! How dare you cancel the conference! Curse thee, heroes! I hope Shigaraki wakes up and absolutely obliterates all of you in Shogi.”- They didn’t even get to enjoy the free snack bar….

8) “The battle is about to take place, as… Cigarette McScarface stepped forward to confront them. I hope you have some damn good power there dude, because otherwise Cementoss is just going to crush you with the pieces of the hotel. “- Hawks’s situation aside, heroes generally try not to kill if they can help it, but for Scarface, having a wide-open area and a bunch of clustered enemies in front of him would have been the perfect opportunity to unleash his full powers, if not for the Heroes bringing their own Jammingwheey lighting rod. 9) “You know, you could`ve just crushed all of them with the hotel, or at least a big chunk of them, and captured the rest, I bet it would be far easier than whatever we`re about to see. Really, in a battle, the one to strike first has the biggest chance to win, and you just threw away your shot.”-A wide-open space lets the group of heroes coordinate more to cover each other’s weaknesses, whereas the PLF members are all scattered and working in smaller individual groups, some of which are split up around the hotel. The heroes initiated this attack, so they’re already in place to counter and contain the big fish, who can only count of quick and decisive action to reverse the heroes’ momentum and puts some odds back in their favour. 10) “Alright, that`s what I like to see. The hero side is all familiar faces, but on the villains` side, oh boy: Captain Bald, Spiky McAnime hair, Punk Bruv,  ?? eyes, Executioner, Mister Stache, Moonshark, Flathead Katnaboo, Tokyo Ghoulie, Turtleneck waifu, Granda Murders, :o skull face, and of course, Cigarette McScarface.

A though crowd to face, I hope the heroes are well prepared.”- Well, they’ve certainly made great use of their own spying efforts to predict the most favourable matchups in powers and skills to bring to the table to thwart the PLF’s counterattack, as Kaminari demonstrates.

11) “YEAH SHUT THE FUCK UP CIGARETTE MAN, WE DON`T CARE YOUR QUIRK IS ELECTRICITY, I`M MORE CONCERNED THAT CUTE MOMENT WAS ABSOLUTELY A DEATH FLAG AND I DON`T LIKE IT ONE BIT“-In war, every interaction starts to look like a death flag. Pray they made it mandatory that nobody’s carrying around any photos of loved ones…
