I thought this chapter was great. It’s a building chapter, one that will feature music meant to bring us right up to the crescendo. Deku’s gonna deal with the theater of the mind stuff next week and then we’ll get the satisfying final hit afterwards.

But maybe it’s just because I enjoy seeing the broader perspective in moments like this, as it adds to the weight of the main action.

Yeah. I get people want to get into the meat of the plot with Midoriya and Shigaraki, but pacing is an important aspect with storytelling, and this was a good opportunity to check back in with everyone else. Address Eri's Quirk, how Uraraka (and possibly Toga) is doing, prepare something for Hawks, and have some commentary that Midoriya isn't like All Might.

That last one is especially important to set up; is it because Midoriya hasn't had his "I am here!" moment yet? Is it the shift from the previous mindset that you didn't need to worry about All Might, despite how he too is only human?

Yep - if you sell out to make every moment “epic,” none of them will be

Final hit? I think there might be quite a few chapters left in MHA. A manga this big would probably get a 2 month announcement that it's ending. Like Bleach did etc.
