My Hero Academia, Chapter 86: Before the Storm
Around four or five pages are dedicated to Eraserhead and the principal being chewed out by the media, basically crucifying and vilifying the Yuuei staff. And yes, a lot of kids got hurt and one got kidnapped, but that certainly is not the worst case scenario -- as Eraserhead points out, the worst case scenario is all the kids dead and murdered. But this goes on back and forth a bit, and it's depressing yet entertaining at the same time. Principal mouse gives a rather noncomittal answer about how they're cooperating with the police to get their student back at all costs...
Meanwhile Bakugou realizes what's going on -- that the villains are trying to corrupt him, and he's going to make use of this change of mind to attempt to kill two or three villains before escaping. Man, what a crazy psychopath! Definitely on the side of good, but also definitely insane. And I like Bakugou more and more when he's in this Good-Hearted Psychopath Buddy mode more than when he's in Dickwad Rival mode. Some of the villains are just disinterested, while Black Mist is like 'oh shit Shigaraki's face-hand fell off'.
Shigaraki is uncharacteristically calm, though... but he asks All For One to lend him his strength. A different quirk? Or something else? Honestly I don't buy that Bakugou poses a threat to Shigaraki, let alone Shigaraki backed up by a half-dozen competent villains (well, there's Twice there, too). We don't see a lot more of what Shigaraki plans to do -- take Bakugou's quirk? Use a mind-control quirk?
We get a couple token pages showing Midoriya and company which honestly is just filler.
And then we see the professional heroes standing with the SWAT team ready to assault. We get All Might, Endeavour, Gran Tourino, Tiger, plus a couple others like Best Jeanist, that Yu-Gi-Oh haired fellow, Mountain Lady and Kamui. There's this big orca-caped dude and someone in a white Dr Mid-Nite esque outfit talking with the orca dude which I don't think we've seen before. There's this little monologue about how they're going to cut off all the villain hideouts, and how the media spiel with the principal is just a distraction to make the villains think that they're only just beginning to mobilize when in reality they're mobilizing right at that very moment. Good job, you pro heroes! Go all Avengers and Justice League on the Villain Alliance's ass.
