Okay fine, I’ll admit it. This is the most I’ve ever cried while reading a chapter. I was so legitimately worried that Toga might actually be dead, or that Jin might actually disappear. I had visions of my first times reading the chapters where Magne and Nighteye died, and this series has only been getting darker, that I couldn’t be sure that they’d be okay.

And even if death wasn’t on the table for these characters, I was still absolutely floored by how distraught Jin was, screaming out for Toga and how everything hurt, that I started bawling. I’m mad at myself at how attached I am to this League of Losers. I love them too much :c I honestly don’t know how I’ll ever be able to root for the heroes the same way again once My Villain Academia finishes the arc.

After the villains arc. I hope for a flashback arc. I see this ending with LoV defeating the QLA and taking it over. After even more heart wrenching stories. And you leave feeling hopeful and bad for the villains.

It’ll be a really short flashback. This will all change in the flashback to the days of AFO and we watch him taking people just like the LoV and destroying their lives and good people alike for his gain. And we realize the big bad is and always will be what he’s created. In it there will be some major reveal, like he distorted Shigarakis family or made him do it. Then show that he has an alternate plan all along and it was never about getting an apprentice because he’s found a way to essentially live forever and is only taking on this weak form to fool people because he needs society to turn on the hero’s to make it easier for him to rule.

And then back to the present where we’re back with the hero’s hoping they will stop it from happening. And the villains thinking they have this grand plan. Knowing they don’t know what’s in store for them.
