Boku no Hero Academia, Chapter 81: Critical Emergency Situation
The magician dude, who apparently is called Mr. Compress, has captured Tokoyami and Bakugou, and gives this big spiel about how ideals shouldn't be forced on people who don't believe in them. Which is a fair sentiment, except, y'know, when those 'ideals' are 'I am allowed to kidnap and brainwash other people', it's not something that should be allowed to exist in society. Mr. Compress just tries to escape and he tells all the other villains -- we see that Muscular (which is apparently his literal name), Kylo Ren and Moonfish are all still knocked out -- that the target is captured.
We get Aoyama, mr. belly-button-laser-kid, hiding in the bushes next to where Dabi and the clone dude are hanging around talking about rendezvous points... and he's there with his weird smile with a passed-out Kyouka and Hagakure, and very nearly got himself discovered. Man, Aoyama is fucking weird.
Apparently there's a Noumu that's this big fucking multi-armed insane thing with fucking chainsaws and drills all over. It's insane and cool looking. It's apparently somehow tailored to only obey Dabi's orders, which is a bit weird since Shigaraki, y'know, kinda hates Dabi, but oh well. Chainsaw Noumu is chasing a wounded Yayaorozu and this B-class kid Awase who I don't think we've seen before in a significant manner. Chainsaw the Noumu is holding the broken helmet of that one Pussycat that's been MIA since the battle started, Ragdoll or whoever, so, uh, casualty, maybe? First death of the series? Chainsaw Noumu receives the order from Dabi to retreat, retracts his arms, and Yayaorozu sends Awase off to slap a tracking device or something onto Noumu -- Awase conveniently has a welding quirk. Good on Yayaorozu on her fast thinking, a nice little development after the whole exam arc.
Meanwhile, Tiger's quirk is apparently an Elongated-Man-style stretchy body, and he's got Magne bound in place. Spinner is locked down by Mandalay (?)... but then Black Mist (Kurogiri, technically, but Black Mist is cooler and easier to remember) apparently shows up. Man, Black Mist is awesome.
Uraraka and Tsuyu do a little combo to launch Shouji, Todoroki and the extremely wounded Midoriya through the air, upon which they do this awesome superhero landing atop Mr. Compress. Of course, while the landing alone might've taken out Compress (and likely Midoriya, poor kid), Dabi, Touga and Twice are still there. And, well, the three of them are still fresh and ready for battle. And we know for a fact that Noumu is heading there.
Um, yeah. They really need to spring Tokoyami and Bakugou to even the scales, or just, y'know, hope for backup.
