Spoiler for 316:

Deku said he will do it if Overhaul repents and apologizes to Eri

[Galaxian]

I high key love how Deku is getting pushed further and further towards the edge.

Also, yet another chapter showing how much better AFO is than Shigaraki as the main villain.

[AP24]

Spoiler for 317:

“Instant Victory”






“He doesn’t look like a hero at all”

Stain appears so maybe he will be responsible for getting Deku back to his usual self.

[marvelB]

It's that time:

Spoiler for 317:

Deku and the top heroes escape from the exploding mansion! Afterwards, they consider trying to get more information from Lady Nagant once she recovers. Edge Shot suggests that now may be the best time to inform ALL heroes about All For One, instead of just keeping it between a select group of top rankers. That, and they should also prioritize protecting Deku, since they otherwise have no clue as to the LoV's movements....

Later, we learn that the hero Death Arms is the latest one to retire amid the public outcries. He was once motivated by the people's cheers, but the criticism has become louder for him. This made him realize that he was no hero.... but merely a human. In fact, more and more heroes have been quitting the business recently. Mount Lady wonders why All For One hasn't revealed OFA's existence to the public yet, and Endeavor surmises that the villain must have good reason to keep it under wraps. At that moment, he receives some texts from Shouto, but before he can reply, Hawks mentions he received his own message from All Might, saying that another assassin tried to get the jump on Deku....

However, the boy took out the villain easily! Afterwards, he tried to squeeze info about AFO out of the guy, but he knew nothing. While interrogating him, he warns All Might to stay back, since he's worried the villain might get blown up like Nagant did. Afterwards, AM offers Deku a bento, but the boy refuses, saying he doesn't need the retired hero following him around anymore. He's now gained enough mastery over OFA that there's little worry about his body receiving backlash, so he tells his mentor to not be too concerned for him anymore. All Might tries to stop him, but Deku's already gone. Unbeknownst to the two, STAIN was eavesdropping on their conversation.....

Soon, rumors begin to spread about a hero who possesses multiple quirks. But he's often covered in so much bloody wounds and mud that he barely even resembles a hero to the eyes of many.....

Spoiler for 317:

Dark Deku looks badass. AFO is apparently getting just what he wanted, he's isolated and barely holding it together.

Spoiler for response:

Also part of the reason Death Arms quit is because he's still torn up about the death of his sidekick who died during the war arc.

Now Deku is even cutting All Might off. He really is going through an edgy/dark phase

Spoiler:

Oh my goodness, are we having Stain be the voice of reason for Izuku now?

Spoiler for :

Stain: You need an adult.

Deku: But, you're an adult...

Stain: YOU NEED A BETTER ADULT!

[AP24]

Spoiler:

How many pro heroes know about Deku’s secret and how are they selected? If it’s based on rank then maybe at least 20 since the 23rd rank Mt. Lady knows but that’s probably because she’s on the same team as the 4th rank Edgeshot and 7th rank Kamui Woods. If they know then most likely the 5th rank Mirko knows too.

Also, is Snipe’s rank 25th as hinted in Ch312? In that case Lady Nagant might used to be in the top 20 and combined with the quirk she got from AFO she’s probably on par with the top 10. So maybe Deku’s claim that he’s already as good as All Might’s 100% is true.

[Ramero]

Spoiler for Deku's breaking point:

By far, Deku may going to enter his breaking point. Though this means he needs someone like Stain to restrain him. The more Deku operates, the more likely he will be played right into AFO's plan.

Deku definitely needs a break as he can't do this all by himself even with top heroes' assistant. He needs his classmates.

Spoiler for Chapter 317:

Deku now needs them more than ever. He's even not allowing All Might to follow him anymore. He's just letting events cloud him into not realizing he's falling into a state where he can be manipulated by All For One. And if Stain has to step in, it really shows how bad Deku needs intervention before he makes a critical mistake. It seemed to be okay with him having supervision, but seeing a former hero being critically injured, and the attempts on his capture is getting to him. He can't think like that while he's in such a state, and just because he has gotten some mastery doesn't mean he can handle it all on his own yet. I would have thought he would be more cautious until the time came.

Spoiler for Class 1-A:

I was hoping in upcoming chapter, Bakugo, Uraraka, and several top member of Class 1-A can come to assist Deku. Right now, I got a feeling that Deku is slowly played into AFO's hand unknowingly for Deku himself. The reason AFO haven't made a big move is to wear Deku out, as I may already see where AFO wants Deku to be. The more Deku gets exhausted even with those quirks, the more AFO's plan will accelerate further.

Spoiler:

Thinking about how all this is playing out, isn't this basically Knightfall from the Batman comics? Villain releases a bunch of criminals that the hero has to constantly fight without rest, and then once the hero is adequately worn down the villain swoops in and breaks him?

[Kanon]

I wonder what's going on inside Deku. As in, what are the Vestiges telling him? He's technically not alone as long as he has them. Should help keep him sane for a bit longer.

[Ramero]

I doubt Deku stays sane at his point. Looking at his condition itself, he could already enter the phase where he won't listen, even he doesn't want to listen to All Might despite he offers a care package for him (Which is food and drink).

Yes, the voices in his head will definitely help keep him sane.

Well played

Spoiler time:

Spoiler for 318:

Deku gets in contact with Endeavor, who tells him that heroes from overseas will soon be lending their aid, so he should rest. However, Deku insists that he can keep fighting. And not just Endeavor, even OFA's vestiges are imploring him to rest! Unfortunately, their words fall on deaf ears, as well. Nana is worried that their quirks are pushing the boy past his limits, but the second user says that Deku's current stubbornness may be the right attitude to have, considering the current situation. However, he doesn't dismiss the idea of the young hero receiving some more direct assistance....

Later, at a mall, Deku takes down some more villains! Afterwards, he flies away, still wondering where Shigaraki/AFO are hiding. He thinks of all his friends at school, and how he wants to spend happy times with them again.... and for that, he must gain full mastery of One For All. Later, he encounters another of AFO's assassins: A Tartarus escapee known as Dictator! Coincidentally, that's also the name of the villain's quirk! Basically, it seems to be a more powerful version of Shinsou's mind control quirk, which the villain uses to control several innocent civilians to attack Deku! The young hero tries to figure out how he can stop the villain without hurting the innocents, but no good strategy comes to mind. It appears that he has no choice but give up and submit to the villain.... when suddenly, a familiar face appears: BAKUGOU!!! He tells someone on the phone that he finally found Deku....!!!!

That's about the worst development I could have thought of.

No chapter next week is pretty bad indeed.
