they're t vs. t (opposite of t4t)

Writing in new chapters is sure... interesting...

Ngl I actually forgot that Deku and Shiggy are supposed to be improtant because of how they weren't really doing anything.

But what bothers me is that weird decidion to make Tokoyami the one who broke Afo's mask and Enji the one who wants to kill Afo. I mean yeah I like them and I'm exited to see cool endeavor vs afo fight but like... why them? We all know who will finish off afo so what's the point of hyping up endeavor's role in this fight? Same with tokoyami. Like I always knew that Hori loves endeavor but rn it's weird af. And it will suck even more if enji, hawks, tokoyami and jiro, that were beating afo's ass, will suddenly lose because deku will finally get his ass in the location or sth. Makes me question what is the point of shiggy and deku even being there if other characters get monents that imo would fit shigdeku duo better

Yeah. Don't get me wrong I still think Shigaraki and Deku are tag teaming taking down AFO. I think they have some good moments to come, but yeah. I've voiced complaints today, and some of those have changed and some haven't.

So the pathway my frustration took was:

Upset with the Endeavor stuff because it seemed to completely miss the point of his character--->Not really upset with it anymore after the translation because it hit the nail on the head, but the last line still bothers me--->The Endeavor stuff is probably fine and will be expanded on later, and now my main complaint is this completely pointless fight.

I'm fine with what happened on the Todoroki front, it's fine. Or rather I think it'll be fine, because this was supposed to be important for Endeavor and I'm not of the mind that he's completely done either, though I'm kinda tired of waiting on him and would rather him be joined up with his sons, like develop that front pls. But whatever, everything there is fine in my book.

My real issue is----AFO IS NOT ENDEAVOR'S VILLAIN.

Like yes it makes practical sense for them to be matched up at first. But dragging it on this way is exhausting. There is nothing satisfying to be gained from Endeavor fighting AFO, nothing. And we all know he isn't gonna get defeated by Endeavor. Imo AFO should have dipped by now to go to his "other self" as he said he needed to do, or hit the power-up button already so something worthwhile came from this fight by this point. I've been a bit negative today and I don't wanna be, but I'll indulge a little more and say Jirou and Tokoyami taking up chapter space is.....annoying at best. I'm sorry but for me it was. I'd say otherwise maybe if anything resulted on the Hawks front, but even THERE nothing significant has happened.

So really my complaint is just---can we pick up the pace? Or focus on something else? I feel like dedicated two chapters to breaking AFO's mask is ridiculous, because AFO is also extremely flat and boring. And throwing in a power up or a change on his front would have made this chapter better. But instead we broke his mask a second time. And I have no reason to believe it's actually gonna have any lasting positive effects, and will in fact not even matter later. So, yay!

Anyway, this is complaints built up since chapter 352. Not just this chapter. Last chapter imo was boring as hell too. And the frustration is probably from having to wait so long from the breaks (which the author needs, I'm not saying he doesn't), but I think it's a patience issue on my end more than anything.

I'd like to go back to feeling good about the chapters next week now that I kinda got this out of my system lolol. I wish there were more things to analyze and theorize about rn, but it's kinda just flat for now. Hopefully it picks the pace up soon!
