New Year! New Thread! New Chapter!

Let's GO!

spoilers:
The Toga-Twice clones at the floating UA school seperate Manual and Aizawa from Monoma, causing him to blink and shut down Erasure. Which in turn causes Shigaraki to let loose a shockwave that messes up everything. All the systems are failing and the support squad below ground can't keep everything together, Skeptic hacks into the UA computers and Shigaraki has reasserted control over his body.

He taunts Deku about sitting down and having a talk at the mall as Deku is feeling the blowback from using Gearshift and the pressures of trying to handle the entire situation. Though the Second informs of AFO's issues with controlling Shigaraki since the vestiges can sense what's going on inside him. And more than that, Skeptic has been found out by none other than La Brava.

spoilers:
Pretty hype first chapter of the year. A free falling school is just what the conflict needed, besides fighting Shigaraki the heroes now need to make sure that everybody can get back up, wonder how Bakugou and Edgeshot are doing.

Shigaraki taking control back at last is just what I wanted. He and Deku has a wonderfully tense rivalry despite only meeting a few times. So them facing off at the height of their powers, even if Deku is a bit tired right now, is very exciting.

And of course, La Brava coming to the rescue against Skeptic is a delightful surprise. Hopefully this means that we'll get to see more side characters return as well.
