A thread on MHA Season 5 from the perceptive of a manga reader. Lot of Manga spoilers ahead. Will try to update this every week
Even though our favorite monologue merchant hasn't done anything here yet, this interaction is important as it directly foreshadows Chapter 290.

Dabi wanted Enji to stay alive and be the #1 Hero so that he'd have more catharsis when he drags him down to the depths of hell
Even though he fails his primary objective of retrieving Hood's body, he is able to collect Endeavor's DNA which will be useful in proving his identity in the future
We see 'the doctor' being brought back into the story after a long time. As AFO is at Tartarus right now, John-chan is being used for his Warping quirk to get Dabi out of there
I see lots of people getting confused.The events of the Pro Hero Arc took place after the LoV met the Doctor
An attack on two fronts. The Gunga Villla Mansion and The Jakku Hospital.
Hard time believing that Hori already had an inkling of how the war was going to play out at this point
MHA 299 greatness
Gonna use the manga page here as I don't like the translations.

Hawks is such a tragic character. He ended up getting his hands dirty by murdering Twice. Instead of being back peace, that moment is used to drive the citizens deeper into despair.
In the end, Hawks remains a 'sinner' in the eyes of the public as he was caught murdering a human being on camera.
He's also considered a sinner as he's the son of a Hitman.

He did his best to leave his past behind but it caught up to him as everyone knows his personal identity
I didn't understand the blood tears at that time and felt that it was edgy.

It makes a lot of sense now since Touya who was overcome with emotions, burned his own tear ducts.

Hence, the line from Dabi makes a lot of sense as we have the right context
Whenever I see Aizawa with cats, I lose it. But that's for another thread
Hope that Can't Ya See-Kun and Shark boy are doing well. I'll be willing to take their Endeavor Merch if they're throwing them out
Horikoshi is such a GOAT mangaka. Still can't believe that the villains were successful in their goals of destroying the meta human society

It's all a part of an overarching narrative. This didn't happen instantly, it happened over months of erosion (or a decay if you willđŸ˜Œ)
I'll say it again. People who skip the student arcs are the lamest people out there. This moment is key to understanding Endeavor's new direction.

This is the reason why he gets back up and fights. He is now being driven by a pure memory.
Wow, Touya has an habit of abruptly leaving the Endeavor family household due to his bursts of anger. I hope that a villain doesn't take advantage of this and use him as a hostage against his own father.

Jokes aside, this conversation feels like a precursor to the one-
-that happens during the Endeavor Agency arc. With this episode, the anime is setting up the players for the Todoroki family drama stuff that happens post war.

We're are properly introduced to Natuso's, Fuyumi's and Shoto's thoughts on the whole conflict with this episode.
The best MHA villain makes his appearance
Seeing how much this dude fanboys over AFO, he has to be Gigantomachia. Taking on multiple quirks in your body will drive you crazy. At that point, the only thing you have left is your blind fanaticism over AFO
The amount of foreshadowing Jfc. He even has the cape tied around him in a similar way
That concludes Episode 90. That's all for today folks. I'll pick this back up when I have the time for Episode 91

Wow I can't believe Hori foreshadowed Vigilante Deku /j
