All the action this chapter was worth the buildup! The move references, the choreography, it was all totally perfect! You even made Akarui snap like a tree limb in a hurricane.
A few notable parts to me,
Bakugo’s new move is like a flaming kamehameha like what Saiyan Tail Natsu does but more explosive.
Malgus Smash and Grievous Barrage add to the awesome Star Wars connections.
Now I don’t know if Fa Jin is a Naruto move but it sounds like something Neji did.
Rough Silk is a brilliant application of Mina’s acid basically turning the territory into a spiderweb of corrosion.
Trifecta USW Smash, absolutely epic! I see their training together has paid off even with Kurai gone for most of that time.
Hatsume and Akarui have “babies” together!? What kind of stuff did mad geniuses like those two have invented? Seriously though, the fact that she’s actually gotten to trust him that much is very compelling fir their dynamic.
Shadow is back!? What is he doing? Great to see “you” in there again! “Pest control”! Classic Mataras.
Wait this is the end for this one and you’re putting the next ones in its own separate story? What brought this on?
See you next part!

12/15/2023 c99 Silly Kira
Well, time to review two chapters again!
So, Kurai is famous again- anonymity was nice while it lasted, right? I see he's back to his usual, on-guard self when it comes to dealing with the media, although it seems like he's trying to loosen up, even if just a bit. If nothing else, though, we're seeing that some things never change, right?
I think one of- if not my absolute- favorite thing in chapter 98 was the byplay between Gran Torino and Kurai. They bounce off of each other in a way that I did not expect, but very much enjoy, all the same. Even during the more serious moments, their back-and-forth stays consistent, and I quite enjoyed it. I'm trying to think of a pair that I could liken them to, but I honestly can't think of one right now. I don't know if that's because you've managed to create a fairly unique dynamic between these two, or if my rain is just dead as of writing this... If you can think of a duo that they remind you of, please help.
Speaking of the more serious moments, damn. I did not expect that to happen when it did, though as usual, it makes perfect sense upon reading. To be perfectly honest, I didn't really expect a conversation like that to happen at all. I more or less assumed that you would have the others' doubts erased- or at least mitigated- via his actions in battle (which seems to have happened to some degree, but I'll get to that later). I did not expect him to sit them all down for an open discussion on the matter, since as we've seen up to now, Kurai's usual play when it comes to stuff stressing his mind is to keep stuff bottled up until it explodes in a fashion that he barely contain, if at all. Talk about character growth, him addressing their concerns before it becomes a problem in and of itself.
I also especially liked how you set a scene aside just for Kurai and Mina, because given their involvement, it only makes sense for them to go a little more into detail about each others' concerns. It's a testament to the realism of their relationship that even the hurt that they caused each other has been forgiven (if not forgotten), but the underlying doubts yet remain. We can see Mina trying so hard to trust him like she used to, but that has to be SO hard for the poor girl. On the one hand, she wants to see him succeed as a hero, because that's such a big part of who he is. On the other, she doesn't want him to get irreparably hurt all over again. I say 'irreparably' knowing full well that Eri can undo any physical injuries that they receive- I'm talking more about the mental sense. All of these factors are superbly balanced and make for an engaging read, even after all this time.
If I haven't said it before, I think that one of the reasons I enjoy their ship so much is because there is this sense of certainty about them and their love for one another, made more so now by the knowledge that there is a very real chance at them having their happily ever after. I don't have to worry about something or someone coming along to stir up drama between the two of them so that I wind up wondering if they're going to work out (even knowing how Blake feels about Kurai). It's not a question of IF they will work things out, but HOW they will do so, together.
Gran Torino getting (apparent) flashbacks of what it was like to work with a young All Might was hilarious- thank you for almost always working a flair of humor into so many fight scenes without making it a little ridiculous at times (lookin' at you, Marvel).
That fight scene at the end of 98 was awesome! I loved getting to see Deku in action with Energon again, and his reaction to seeing Kurai using One For All the way that he did! More stuff that I never would have thought to include, so good on you!
In all seriousness, his borderline(?) irritation at how well Kurai seems to be handling his old quirk so easily was incredibly well-placed. Having read chapter 99 at this point, it doesn't seem to last very long, but I felt like it was very thoughtful of you to include such a sentiment at all, because... well, it makes sense. Deku had to work really hard to get even a portion of OFA under his control, and I imagine that even if he doesn't think about it much, there's probably some part of him that wishes he could have been the one to fully master it. Becoming the number one hero like All Might is his greatest ambition, and it's reasonable of him to shoot for that with his drive and a quirk like Energon to boot- but it's not the exact dream that he's been chasing for nearly two years by this point in the story. That's gotta be hard to let go of, but it seems like he's managing, seeing as his main goal is still within his reach, the rest being semantics.
Kai getting back in the thick of it was also a treat to watch, especially as it seems like this is more or less the power level that we expect him to use for non-major battles going forward. Then again, he may have been going a little bit harder than he normally would, seeing as he apparently still needed to vent some stuff about his dad... Damn, Kurai.
The team-ups in that scene were also fun, with Ashid Queen and Myrtenaster making for a surprising combo that I actually find myself curious enough to wonder if we'll get more of that in the future... It seems like a combo ripe with possibilities. Eri managing to save the archer girl was not something that I had not expected, mostly because it felt like she had given all that she could to the story (both here and in-canon), but again, having read 99, I can now see the sense in it beyond it just being something that the heroes would do- her and those other Humarise members served a further narrative purpose, so nicely done.
Is... Is Bakugo lowkey becoming a Kai fanboy...? This has so much comedic potential.
Okay, chapter 99, now. (I apologize for making this one so long)
It's kind of funny to watch Flect Turn starting lose his shit a little earlier than in the original. He literally sends a small army at UA because a child called him out. Granted that child is arguably the most powerful teenager on the face of the earth, but still.
Speaking of which, are we getting a preliminary look at Monoma beginning to redeem himself? If that does happen, I will be rather surprised. Perhaps not as much as I would have once been (given your handling of Endeavor in this story), but I am certainly intrigued.
Bonus points for showcasing Pyrrha in battle without actually revealing her quirk to the other students (as I recall in the original series, she kept her powers to herself in order to preserve the element of surprise as much as she could). Just a little side note, but I enjoy it all the same. I'm guessing that Jaune's quirk is to boost the powers of other people's abilities...? I honestly can't remember how his semblance worked in the original show, other than he had a very strong aura.
Akarui moments are always gold, even if he seems the slightest bit unhinged in this chapter. Prepping for live human experimentation, buddy...? Okay, that's a bit much, even for him- though I do appreciate the irony of Nezu being the one to point out the reasons why that's not okay.
As for the main squad in this chapter, what a chapter. At first glance, it may seem like just a setup chapter for the final battle (which it certainly is), but there's a lot in here- for Kai and Chronoa in particular.
For Eri, we have a more expanded look at the dark side that she's had to develop in order to survive the future, which we've only seen glimpses of up to now. Her setting aside her emotions at the thought of potentially being put to work in an extended torture session was especially startling to me, given how she was treated during her early childhood. We see it again in a somewhat lesser degree when she starts sorting through the data stored on the Humarise chip, with her playing by Future Akarui's book, as well as her assessment of Humarise's true plans. She is very cold and calculating in these moments, yet you somehow manage to keep it believable that this is the same girl who just wanted to see her heroes again and cried when Kurai rejected what she thought was a gift to him. Those are polar opposite attitudes to have- a nearly impossible dichotomy to achieve in balance- yet I absolutely believe in their portrayal through her.
As for Kai, we get it summarized for us in that one line by Eri about how he's Akarui's brother, and not all of his cunning came from Solar Intelligence. Like... that was a chilling line to read. Maybe I'm overhyping it, but that legitimately made me shudder when the two of them were compared on their similarities in such a dark fashion. I know that they are the good guys, but I always find it a bit disturbing whenever we get a reminder that our heroes are capable of just as much twisted violence as the villains- and in some cases, more so. Kurai straight-up moving to torture the hostages without even blinking was dark in a way that I didn't expect from him, though I really should have- we've seen him do similar things before this. It's been so long since the event occurred, but I listened to the podcast where you talked about how he and Shoto were ready to torture a bunch of villains at the start of the school year, which helped put this into context for me and understand that this is actually nothing new for him- he just hasn't had a reason to show this side of himself for a while. I was kind of surprised that you didn't bring up how he basically tortured Cinder when he obliterated her arm as an act of revenge against the League (because he definitely did not need to do that). I also heard the exact method of torture that you had him and the others use on the villains, and I just have to say... that was really twisted. Very effective, very well thought-out, and very twisted. I understand that the circumstances that necessitated such actions from all of them, but the fact that you were able to think up not only the method of torture, but even some of the science behind why it would work that well is just a little frightening to contemplate.
Final notes, I'm excited to see history repeat itself against this new (movie) threat. By that I mean two OFA users alongside an awakening Energon to take down the big bad, as we saw in the I-island arc.
"It's like poetry; it rhymes."
-George Lucas, a.k.a. one of the greatest writers of all time
Kai taking a moment to tell Deku what he expects him to do with his powers was a really beautiful moment that I had been half-hoping for. Deku needs someone to set those expectations for him, I think, at least to give him that initial drive to push himself beyond even his own preconceived notions. He's seen what Kai could do with Energon- now he's ready to prove what Deku can do with it.
I also loved the moment where Mina lets go of all her doubts and chooses to see Kai, instead of Kurai, ready to take up the fight for real. A tad sappy, given that they're falling through the rain and staring into each other's eyes the whole time, but I still liked it.

Ooh, this battle against Humarise is getting intense.
Also I'm guessing the awakening collar is the thing that's gonna alter Energon for Deku, like it did when it was still Kurai's quirk. Right?

Excellent chapter! This is setting up to be a certified banger!
I might need to listen to the podcast again to fully understand the method of torture they used though.
Hahahaha Nora being Abridged Vegeta in that moment was hilarious!
Glad that Mina fully trusts Kai again! Drama officially over—hold up, AWAKENING COLLAR! Ooh it’s time it’s time it’s Full Unleashed Deku time!

ch 98 notes
the entire bit with the paparazzi, while I acknowledge is somewhat necessary to the consequences of revealing himself to the world, didn’t really hold me all that much. I also don’t have a whole lot to say about it, so I’m going to skip over that bit.
It’s a very small note, but I personally love how Kai and Bakugo went from arguing about who was Humarize’s enemies first, to immediately arguing about who’s going to beat up Deku first. Granted Kai meant it more in a training sense, but that’s not as fun to think about, is it?
Now this is a point that might be a bit moot considering it’s been a minute since I read the last chapter, but if we’re talking consistency, I’m going to “stand my ground” so to speak on this point: as interesting to read as the conversation concerning Kai’s stability was, in the context of this specific chapter it felt like it came out of nowhere.
To be a bit more specific, the only real event that caused the group to be wary of Kai was his reaction to hearing that Izuku was arrested. If there was any other instance, it certainly wasn’t in this chapter, and I don’t recall any other immediate reaction. And a big part of my criticism here is sort of the order of events, especially in this specific chapter:
they deal with reporters, which takes a bit of time. 2: they deal with contingency plans for Izuku crossing the border. In both instances, there’s a lot of casualness, and even both end with some form of joke-slinging. If something had sort of “prompted” the discussion right before they had it or something, then that would have worked much better. I just felt that maybe it could have been the first thing that happened in this chapter, or something. Thats my take.
Side note, when I wrote those events down and said them out loud, I realized that there’s a lot more politics-esque and logistical things happening in the story. Maybe that’s why it feels slow to me. Huh. Anyways:
Deku realising the Bow the assassin had wasn’t a bow but rather her arm, and his subsequent realization of what exactly he just did is probably the best part of this chapter, honestly. Her casually committing (UNALIVING) was honestly kind of…horrifying, to put it lightly. But it’s my favorite part because CHARACTER and STAKES and MISTAKES. I have no idea why, but those 4-ish paragraphs felt like the most important thing that happened in this chapter.
And the thing with the big villain yielding to deku before being defeated reminded me of a skit that I’m going to reskin here:
Villain: (Rob’s a bank, with a billion dollars and is running away)
Kai: (spawns into existence) you. Drop the money. Now.
Villain:….NAH! (Continues to run)
Kai: (uses some kind of super speed with One for all to spawn several feet ahead of him)
Villain: (stops.) wait…did you just-
Kai: yes. I’m going to stand my ground against villains like yo- (is cut off because the villain just throws him the massive bag of money)….um….what are you doing?
Villain: Resigning. I will no longer participate in organized crime.
Kai: so…you didn’t wanna try and escape with the money? Or try to kill me?
Villain: try to wha- You want to make me look STUPID, don’t you?!
Kai: no, I’m just surpri-
Villain: nonono, you want me to try and run away and you teleport back there, then I run back and you teleport again?! Or better yet, you want me to not even land a scratch on you while you BREAK my BONES?! And then I fall on the ground and try to crawl away looking PATHETIC?! NO! SCREW THAT!
Kai: I didn’t have that in mind.
Villain: shut up! (Tosses his shoes towards Kai) I’m leaving with my DIGNITY today!
Kai: why are you throwing your shoes?
Villain: they were bought with previously stolen money, I shouldn’t have them.
Kai:…..I literally wouldn’t have known that, you didn’t have to tell me tha-
Villain: where’s the police?
Kai:….so you’re for real trying to go to jail. Willingly?
Villain: I will handcuff myself.
Anyways:
The bit with the big villain and the subsequent (UNALIVE) bombers was well put in the story, in my opinion. it showed the consequences of participating in what is the equivalent of war, and honestly it may have been disgusting and gruesome, but it…well, it worked.
With all that said, another thing I personally really loved to read with Kai’s encounter with the humarize cops. I’m not going to get into specifics partly because my thoughts about this are inherently political, but…well, suffice to say there’s a lot I could talk about and apply this scene to. I’ll just leave it at that.
Ch 99 notes:
I don’t have a whole lot to say, so I’ll put my review of this particular chapter in a bit more of an eloquent way of speaking:
“This chapter may have simply been a prelude to the upcoming climax of the arc, at least that’s what the ending of the chapter alludes to, but it still is quite a pleasant read all things considered. It may have been subtle, but I could tell what you were trying to convey with Rody and the revelation of the killcode for the bombs.”
“Further, it was well and interesting with how many different viewpoints you out throughout this chapter. It conveys the sense of scale you were going for in an arc that covers the WORLD heroes mission. As well as the attack on UA, I would be lying if I said what was portrayed in this chapter was somewhat underwhelming at best, but for all I know you have something planned for the next chapter.”
“Overall, this chapter is by no means the best one if I’m being perfectly blunt, but it acts as a good bridge, a precursor to what is coming. And I look forward to that.”

To be a bit more specific, the only real event that caused the group to be wary of Kai was his reaction to hearing that Izuku was arrested. If there was any other instance, it certainly wasn’t in this chapter, and I don’t recall any other immediate reaction. And a big part of my criticism here is sort of the order of events, especially in this specific chapter:
they deal with reporters, which takes a bit of time. 2: they deal with contingency plans for Izuku crossing the border. In both instances, there’s a lot of casualness, and even both end with some form of joke-slinging. If something had sort of “prompted” the discussion right before they had it or something, then that would have worked much better. I just felt that maybe it could have been the first thing that happened in this chapter, or something. Thats my take.
Side note, when I wrote those events down and said them out loud, I realized that there’s a lot more politics-esque and logistical things happening in the story. Maybe that’s why it feels slow to me. Huh. Anyways:
Deku realising the Bow the assassin had wasn’t a bow but rather her arm, and his subsequent realization of what exactly he just did is probably the best part of this chapter, honestly. Her casually committing (UNALIVING) was honestly kind of…horrifying, to put it lightly. But it’s my favorite part because CHARACTER and STAKES and MISTAKES. I have no idea why, but those 4-ish paragraphs felt like the most important thing that happened in this chapter.
And the thing with the big villain yielding to deku before being defeated reminded me of a skit that I’m going to reskin here:
Villain: (Rob’s a bank, with a billion dollars and is running away)
Kai: (spawns into existence) you. Drop the money. Now.
Villain:….NAH! (Continues to run)
Kai: (uses some kind of super speed with One for all to spawn several feet ahead of him)
Villain: (stops.) wait…did you just-
Kai: yes. I’m going to stand my ground against villains like yo- (is cut off because the villain just throws him the massive bag of money)….um….what are you doing?
Villain: Resigning. I will no longer participate in organized crime.
Kai: so…you didn’t wanna try and escape with the money? Or try to kill me?
Villain: try to wha- You want to make me look STUPID, don’t you?!
Kai: no, I’m just surpri-
Villain: nonono, you want me to try and run away and you teleport back there, then I run back and you teleport again?! Or better yet, you want me to not even land a scratch on you while you BREAK my BONES?! And then I fall on the ground and try to crawl away looking PATHETIC?! NO! SCREW THAT!
Kai: I didn’t have that in mind.
Villain: shut up! (Tosses his shoes towards Kai) I’m leaving with my DIGNITY today!
Kai: why are you throwing your shoes?
Villain: they were bought with previously stolen money, I shouldn’t have them.
Kai:…..I literally wouldn’t have known that, you didn’t have to tell me tha-
Villain: where’s the police?
Kai:….so you’re for real trying to go to jail. Willingly?
Villain: I will handcuff myself.
Anyways:
The bit with the big villain and the subsequent (UNALIVE) bombers was well put in the story, in my opinion. it showed the consequences of participating in what is the equivalent of war, and honestly it may have been disgusting and gruesome, but it…well, it worked.
With all that said, another thing I personally really loved to read with Kai’s encounter with the humarize cops. I’m not going to get into specifics partly because my thoughts about this are inherently political, but…well, suffice to say there’s a lot I could talk about and apply this scene to. I’ll just leave it at that.
Ch 99 notes:
I don’t have a whole lot to say, so I’ll put my review of this particular chapter in a bit more of an eloquent way of speaking:
“This chapter may have simply been a prelude to the upcoming climax of the arc, at least that’s what the ending of the chapter alludes to, but it still is quite a pleasant read all things considered. It may have been subtle, but I could tell what you were trying to convey with Rody and the revelation of the killcode for the bombs.”
“Further, it was well and interesting with how many different viewpoints you out throughout this chapter. It conveys the sense of scale you were going for in an arc that covers the WORLD heroes mission. As well as the attack on UA, I would be lying if I said what was portrayed in this chapter was somewhat underwhelming at best, but for all I know you have something planned for the next chapter.”
“Overall, this chapter is by no means the best one if I’m being perfectly blunt, but it acts as a good bridge, a precursor to what is coming. And I look forward to that.”

Lol! Bakugo and Weiss are cute together.
Anyway, that fight was awesome! I'm glad they were able to make to Izuku in time to help him.
Also poor Rody, I wonder what Humarise could want with him.

Consider me stricken aback! Loved all the action in this chapter! The references to Kakashi and Count Dooku in Kai’s moves weren’t lost on me either!
Eri reverses her reversal so often now I wonder how many disguises she could potentially do?
Deku’s new temper warrants some getting used to but it makes sense that energon is affecting his mind differently.
We all love savage Bakugo. Weiss being concerned over him is also really cute. When are we getting a chance to see how this relationship started? Will we at all?
Plus ultra chapter, Mataras! If I don’t see you in Mario Party again soon then see you next time!

Oooh, World Heroes' Mission. Fun times (I called Rody's Quirk less than halfway through the movie, my equivalent to you crowing about correctly identifying the mystery person from the end of Lisbeth's speech in War of Underworld Episode 11).

it’s fascinating how you like to take your time with all the interpersonal relations and dialogue but then you get to the main action and it’s basically all covered in a couple paragraphs. BUT I will give you the benefit of the doubt since 1-for-1 retreading of the movie wouldn’t be interesting to read.
Kurai’s “reaction” (for lack of a better word) to Deku’s “wanted poster” was really interesting to see, even if the direct reason isn’t really immediately obvious. At least to me.
And then there’s him finally revealing himself to the world. I’ll say this: you did it in a way that makes it…well, plot relevant for lack of a better word, as opposed to having someone just find out his identity, or having him reveal i5!8’ a big fight. So I’ll give you that.
Other than that I honestly don’t have a whole lot to say, and I was GOING to give a reference, but I have nothing right now. Truly a dark day.
Regardless I hope you have a wonderful day!
