Boku no Hero Academia, Chapter 127: Sir Nighteye, Izuku Midoriya, Mirio Togata & All Might
Not a super-eventful chapter, because we're taking things nice and slow. And that's the pace this kind of arcs should take, to be honest. Nighteye's rather... deathly-serious-yet-quirky personality is actually pretty fun. He's intense yet at the same time being someone who really values humour, either in his actions or his poses (he wouldn't look out of place in JJBA) but doesn't overdo it. Last week he's super angry, as everyone predicted, not because Midoriya is disrespecting All Might, but because Midoriya's not doing a good enough impression of All Might -- a crease 0.6 cm instead of 0.8 cm under his eye? Unacceptable! Blasphemy!
Yes, Nighteye is a huge, huge All Might fanboy, and Midoriya manages to get a slight reprieve for being a humourless man by All Might trivia, noting that the expression he used was based on an incident where All Might saved a kid who accidentally turned water into vinegar with his quirk and all that jazz, and, well, Nighteye is not being very cooperative even if he doesn't immediately kick Midoriya out. He predictably gives Midoriya a test -- steal the stamp from his grasp in three minutes, or get the fuck out of his sight.
Nighteye's quirk is revealed, and it is 'Foresight'. By touching someone and maintaining eye contact, Nighteye can see every single action they'll do in the next hour, and as Midoriya's tactics all fail, Nighteye basically reveals that despite his huge respect for All Might he does not recognize All Might's choice of a successor, thinking that Togata is far more talented and should have been the successor to One For All. In response to this Midoriya goes absolutely wild, bouncing around the room and that's kind of a badass panel at the end... but honestly, how do you even get around Nighteye's quirk? By being fast enough that Nighteye simply doesn't have time to react, I guess?
Very much like Nighteye's design, which is impressive considering he's just a skinny dude in a suit and glasses.
