Catch the F*ck Up: MHA Chapter 421

[00:00:00] Hey y'all, welcome to the latest episode of Catch the Fuck Up. I'm Fern and I'm flapping.

[00:00:05] I'm Nicole. I'm also flapping and I can't feel my lungs.

[00:00:09] Uh-huh, because we are looking at My Hero Academia Chapter 421. We are here!

[00:00:19] Oh man, oh man. Oh emotions, emotions.

[00:00:23] Emotions, motions flapping. I can't feel my legs.

[00:00:26] Oh my god.

[00:00:27] In the best way.

[00:00:28] Yes, yes.

[00:00:30] All right, so we're just going to dive right in. So much is happening.

[00:00:34] Oh my god, yes. It's so great.

[00:00:37] All right, so instead of skipping somewhere else, we did pick up where we left off.

[00:00:42] Oh so long ago. I don't even know how long ago it was.

[00:00:44] It was two weeks.

[00:00:45] Oh my gosh.

[00:00:47] Okay, so we pick up where we left off with everyone arriving from Crocumos warp panel, warp gates.

[00:00:57] I can't even talk, I'm so excited.

[00:00:59] And basically it goes through everyone who has arrived from class 1A including Hiroshima,

[00:01:07] Shoji, Kota, Mina surprisingly back on our feet. Yes girl.

[00:01:12] Aoyama and Hikakure, yes, Sleigh.

[00:01:16] Denki who's completely out of it but he's like I'm still gonna fight.

[00:01:21] Which is like I am still somewhat coherent therefore I am here.

[00:01:25] Yeah, which is honestly kind of a level up for him.

[00:01:28] Like when he first started to just zap out there was nothing left in his head but he's now able to

[00:01:34] like still hold on. Oh he's doing so good.

[00:01:38] All right and then Momo of course and Frappi and Jiro are there and so is the great bitch who

[00:01:44] attempts to have a meaningful line which I will.

[00:01:49] We'll get him this one. It's a decent one.

[00:01:50] It's like I'll give it to him but it's fine.

[00:01:54] And Midoriya. He had to come rescue his boyfriend.

[00:01:56] He really did with his other boyfriend, they had to come together.

[00:02:02] And then you turn the page from the first page and it is actually a two-page panel.

[00:02:07] It's beautiful everyone has arrived and they're all ready to fight with sweet little Midoriya.

[00:02:15] And I like I tried to zoom in on everyone to see like everyone who's there.

[00:02:20] Like if there is a surprise like show up like having shown up but honestly in this panel

[00:02:29] it kind of just looks like everyone we kind of already suspected were coming.

[00:02:35] It's class 1A for the most part, class 1B for the most part and then some of the teachers.

[00:02:40] Yep and then on the very edge behind Sero there's some of the Shiketsu kids.

[00:02:47] Yay! I don't see Inasa so he might be unconscious unfortunately but

[00:02:54] it's fine. Also freaking gentle criminal is there. He's like yeah I just held up an entire city

[00:03:01] but I'm still gonna fight like. Oh god I love this and everyone looks super pissed and super grungy

[00:03:09] and they're just like you know what? Fuck you. It's just running on adrenaline.

[00:03:13] We are still going fucker. God I love that we are here. I have been waiting for this moment since

[00:03:19] we first heard um All Might's Catchphrase. Yes because we knew that's where it was going.

[00:03:25] Of course of course. Oh so good. It's so good. It's so so many goosebumps and then you turn the

[00:03:32] page and we are back to AFO kind of facing down basically like almost a whole horizon of heroes

[00:03:41] arriving to join the fight. Yes and we get some of his speech and essentially he's like oh you're just

[00:03:49] all dull heroes like you could never measure up to anything but after after he does like try to insult

[00:03:58] them we kind of get kind of an interior look at what's going on in his head. He does state that

[00:04:08] when Tomora or Shiggy or Sweet Baby Tango essentially when he shattered when his walls came tumbling down

[00:04:17] he believes he should have also like collapsed and shattered along with him but because before that

[00:04:26] happened Yoichi the first user his brother he was one of the earlier strikes so he faded into

[00:04:35] whatever oblivion happened to the other vestiges before the final break and essentially that allowed

[00:04:44] AFO to survive because apparently it did like kind of break him in a way like actually yeah it

[00:04:53] broke him in the way that he's broken others before. Yes he's like he's actually he as much

[00:04:59] as he manipulated and abused him there was a part of him who did like love his brother and is like

[00:05:06] Oh yeah well love I mean love again is a it's a neutral feeling. Yes. Like you can it can go well

[00:05:12] or it can go horribly. Yes and his goes horribly because he does also call it his obsessions like

[00:05:18] but basically because he was gone he was able to essentially just withstand any attack

[00:05:25] because no attack could hurt him so that's how he survived. Yeah he's got his own force field of

[00:05:31] trauma now. Yes yes and we will see if Izuku tries to break it or just punches him in the dick.

[00:05:37] Yeah we'll find out. I'd be like you know what dude the the absolute best I can offer you is

[00:05:43] death I think that's just best for everyone. It's like the absolute most I can offer you

[00:05:47] is a nice unconscious coma and then the police will take care of you maybe or I'll just kill

[00:05:53] you we'll see if he goes full dark Deku oh and so but it could happen. Well he's gonna have to

[00:06:00] break through those walls somehow in order to strike him so it'll be interesting to see what

[00:06:05] what AFOs you know what his breaking moment was. Yes I mean I guess we've already kind of seen it

[00:06:12] like he didn't really have one like he was just quote unquote born that way but I think

[00:06:15] it'll be interesting to see if there was a turning point for him. Yeah exactly and we'll

[00:06:19] see if there's anything that can break through to where Shiggy Mayer may not still kind of be

[00:06:26] in their joint psyche because he does still have the hand over his mouth which is the thing that's

[00:06:33] blocking Shiggy from screaming. A lot of people think Shiggy is dead I I haven't seen the body so

[00:06:41] I am waiting for further confirmation. Yeah like absolute full confirmation. Not 100%

[00:06:47] Yeah it's like we still have to see what happens if we get Kurogeery and Spinner and any of the

[00:06:52] other League members onto the same playing field like to park him back up like they're doing with

[00:06:57] Izuku right now. Okay anyway so with that he makes his sad little speech and he says

[00:07:05] tragedy engenders true strength. No but with that he does essentially just explode

[00:07:16] into manifesting a bunch of fucking quirks and tax all at the same time it's very core it's very cool

[00:07:23] but he's a bitch. Yes exactly exactly and because he is a bitch Saro chimes and he's like

[00:07:30] bitch shut up and yes yes yes Saro I didn't know I've been waiting for Saro to just kick ass

[00:07:39] verbally yes sir. Because he's just he's so sassy right he's got a real sassy streak

[00:07:44] and I just I love that he got to say his piece to AFO. Yes he's very sassy he's he's like very

[00:07:51] like it doesn't seem like he's in everything because he is unfortunately more of a side

[00:07:57] character but he's like Ben in the thick of it with all his friends he's there and he's gonna

[00:08:01] bitch slap you with his words. Yes. So he starts his speech and he does we get a little bit of

[00:08:10] his backstory in that he really hasn't had any tragedies in his life he's lived a very

[00:08:18] normal teenage life up to the war and he is just like yeah I haven't really had that kind of big

[00:08:27] tragic motivation that other folks have but because I've had basically the only

[00:08:33] motivation is my normal motivation the the motivation of having friends and wanting to get

[00:08:38] through the next exam. Yeah wanting to keep up with my classmates. Yeah it's like wanting to keep

[00:08:44] up with everyone he does his attack and we see two more gates open up and you turn the page

[00:08:50] and fucking showtowing endeavor up and fighting. And I feel like we can't we can't gloss over like

[00:08:58] Saro is like hey you know this guy used to look like a fucking zombie that's what tragedy

[00:09:04] like does to you like tragedy in and of itself is not a motivation and like

[00:09:08] never having tragedy in and of itself is a motivation either like right that doesn't

[00:09:13] have anything to do with it. Yes it doesn't like all these tragedies and human abuse

[00:09:20] don't make strength in fact my best friend my boyfriend Shoto he's better off now that he's

[00:09:27] healed from all of that tragedy and all that emotional hurt. Yeah it doesn't have anything

[00:09:33] to do with life events at all things simply happen it's how you react and how you like put it

[00:09:39] into context for yourself that's what makes a difference. Yes exactly and he says anyone would

[00:09:44] be better off not going through a bunch of crap like yeah it's just crap it doesn't make you one

[00:09:50] thing or another it's just bad. Yeah it just sucks it just happens things just happen

[00:09:58] we gotta quit assigning moral labels to things that don't need them. Exactly exactly and he's

[00:10:03] like and my boyfriend is the pinnacle of that I love how he got some nice Saro-Roki.

[00:10:10] No that was so good Saro-Roki shippers eat it up. Eat it up I am eating with you they are one

[00:10:17] of my many ships yes yes they're a great one I love it. I honestly did not see Shoto and

[00:10:22] the dev are coming back I thankfully I've only saw two leaks one was actually just this morning

[00:10:30] so it doesn't really count but it was like one of the pages one of the like two page spread

[00:10:36] of like everybody being there I kind of convinced myself it was fan art but then I was like it

[00:10:41] might be it might be not but like yes yes. Yeah the fan art is so good that it's basically

[00:10:46] indistinguishable from the manga it is but I did not see anything about Shoto and the dev are

[00:10:53] coming back so thank goodness I love a twist and they both attack AFO together with a flash fire

[00:11:00] fist and it lands and and bam. So good it is so good uh yeah I haven't been spoiled for anything

[00:11:10] so this is all just coming at me raw. I will tell you when we get to the part the other

[00:11:15] part that I was spoiled on because they didn't track their spoilers I thought it was just another

[00:11:20] tiktok no yeah people come on I know we're excited tag your spoilers please yes so with

[00:11:28] that attack we do get a very quick rewind to what's going on right after the final

[00:11:34] Toya fight and it's sweet not so well sweet baby not so well he is basically telling

[00:11:42] Endeavor and Shoto to get over to recovery girl so that's where recovery girl is she was at that

[00:11:49] physical location I believe that's actually the place where the biggest fight had been so it makes

[00:11:55] sense to put her there yeah and also like Endeavor and Shoto are two of their biggest players yes

[00:12:01] so they want to keep them both in the fight for as long as humanly possible exactly yeah

[00:12:05] and basically Natsuo says don't stick around here one mom and for you me are tired and they

[00:12:13] don't want to deal with you two he says you are some of our best fighters you need to go get healed

[00:12:21] and you need to go get back into it we'll take care of things here assuming he also means whatever

[00:12:27] is going on with Toya because again he has not officially died like he's still

[00:12:35] yeah and if recovery girl is there I'm assuming that means he won't

[00:12:38] yes I'm assuming he will recover at least enough to get into a stable condition not

[00:12:44] and then Ari can do the rest yeah yeah so we'll see how that goes and then sweet Saro he grabs both

[00:12:51] of them and yanks them away from any attack that's going to come back at them yeah so he's

[00:12:59] he's assisting them yes and he grabs them and he talks to Shoto and he's like right like all

[00:13:05] of these things were going through my head when you were fighting Dabi because so the whole time

[00:13:08] he's talking to Shoto he's talking to his boyfriend he's like am I right though and Shoto is like yeah

[00:13:14] yeah he's like yeah you're right also I can't feel my body yeah he's like thank you thank

[00:13:21] you for yanking me out of the way because I was fully planning to just fall to the ground

[00:13:24] yes yes exactly all right and then with that we do see President Mike come through the portal

[00:13:31] he's the last one all able bodied fighters are now here and he also says thanks bud to sweet

[00:13:37] Kurogeery oh oh oh oh oh they are they are not fighting yay um and we do see really quick that

[00:13:48] Kurogeery's panel that he comes through it's not fully black some of it is now white like the clouds

[00:13:55] so yeah yeah things are happening with Kurakumo yes sir okay and then um it continues and Mike uses

[00:14:06] his quirk to um make his voice loud enough for everybody to hear and he says today marks turning

[00:14:12] point folks like he's still on the fucking radio yep yep well he's got to pump everybody up

[00:14:17] that's his job that's his deal yes he also does a big yeah yeah yes yes and he says one last big job

[00:14:25] like this is this is it this is the last one we're gonna do it and then with that um freaking

[00:14:32] freaking afo continues he tries to belittle them he says you're nothing compared to all might which

[00:14:37] like that's not the point but sure yeah you're still gonna get beaten bitch so suck it

[00:14:44] suck it so with that he does launch a very wide range attack it looks like his favorite attack which

[00:14:51] is like the red and black stabby whatever um and he he says he tries to make his own little speech

[00:15:00] he's like behold the legion of the wounded blah blah blah like like you feel nothing only for

[00:15:06] mourn it's like we get it you're sad and you don't know what to do with that you don't need to

[00:15:12] try and make it sound cool right right it's like all of this could have been avoided if you would just

[00:15:17] like sat in a corner and processed your big feelings for a bit yeah seriously you had so much time you

[00:15:23] had nine generations to try and do that yep yep but no you decided to be dramatic he decided to be

[00:15:30] a bitch um so with that attack um he's then surprised because something affects his attack

[00:15:37] we don't immediately see it but we turn the page and it's my wife she is here she is here I did not

[00:15:46] expect her either I didn't even I thought it was gonna be re-uq like using her wings um but no it's

[00:15:52] 13 and she's sucking in his attack and rendering it useless and oh i'm so happy oh she's amazing

[00:15:59] and then at the same time my husband gong orca unleashes he unleashes his echolocation sonic

[00:16:06] blast attack which like like together it like completely renders the attack nothing it's grace

[00:16:13] uh so cool so cool this is gonna be amazing when animated we keep saying that but I'm really

[00:16:20] looking forward to it but oh it's gonna be so expensive and time-consuming and everyone

[00:16:24] doing the animating is gonna hate everything by the time they're done yes which is totally fine

[00:16:30] we get it but also we are going to love you yes the end of it yes I hope they get all the bonuses

[00:16:36] and it's gonna be so weird in six days the new season starts and I know the freaking star and

[00:16:42] stripe fight it's it feels so long ago I can't wrap my head around it I really can't

[00:16:48] and I at some point this week I'm gonna try and watch the memories episodes which are the

[00:16:53] recaps that they have on crunchy roll right now oh yeah because apparently there's like a couple

[00:16:59] new scenes how dare they yeah honestly how dare they but it's also gonna be good to like move my brain

[00:17:06] back to where it's actually supposed to be going on as opposed to trying to rewind

[00:17:12] hi pickles pickles has stuck her head under the curtain okay all right and with those attacks

[00:17:19] they did very well but afo does then attack again and burning yes burning yes queen glad you're still

[00:17:28] here she gives the order to divert his attack so everyone together kind of makes the attack

[00:17:36] not work as well as it could have but unfortunately afo is very fast it's gonna take a lot of them

[00:17:44] working together just to defend against his attacks so they're not going to be able to do any

[00:17:49] offense at this stage or at least at like at this point in their strategizing yeah not right now

[00:17:56] and then we get we get sweet kendo she's there she's giving orders like a badass yes queen

[00:18:02] and she basically says don't let him split us up we are going to take them down together

[00:18:07] yes beautiful themes i love them i love them oh delicious all right and then finally with that

[00:18:14] we go back to izuku who does now have arms yes his arms are back his arms are back um

[00:18:19] as probably some of his injuries have been rewound a little bit so that's good yeah all the mostly

[00:18:25] the ones like so he tries to get to his feet and keep going and he collapses because sir yes

[00:18:34] yes typically zuku yep and so izawa is right there next to him and he's like bro you you only

[00:18:42] got better a few minutes ago and most of that went to regrowing your arms my problem child yeah he was

[00:18:50] like you were fighting by yourself for like an hour so and and like those injuries have not gone away

[00:18:57] and like basically izawa is like it's like he says it's like oh it's okay that you're not

[00:19:03] gonna be able to fight as you were um and then sweet izuku he does say he gave up one for all which

[00:19:10] does obviously surprise izawa and he's like yeah he's probably like oh god is he okay yeah he's

[00:19:17] probably like oh shit oh dear he's like oh god i have to therapize my child in the middle of this

[00:19:23] battle it's like god damn it there's too much going on my sweet boy but izuku does continue

[00:19:31] and he clarifies that the quirks from the other wielders they are all gone he does not he's not

[00:19:37] going to be able to use them anymore but because he had the quirk for the amount of time that he did

[00:19:45] he was able to have the quirk basically the most basic version of it take root in himself

[00:19:52] like it had for all might oh yeah the power storage quirk yep yep yep yep because wasn't

[00:19:58] yoichi's quirk his ability to pass on his quirk yeah yoichi's was the one that passes it on

[00:20:04] because it's a mirror of afos and then the power storage quirk is the one that was introduced by

[00:20:10] afo okay so izuku still has a power storage quirk yeah he basically has the two very original

[00:20:16] quirks that afo forced upon yoichi those are still in there basically well no it's only one

[00:20:25] oh yeah because yoichi's gone too unless they like combine together or something it's not clear i think

[00:20:31] i think the the passing along went with yoichi so i'm assuming izuku really is like the last one

[00:20:37] for all user yeah so he's the one who has the mysterious power storage quirk wherever that

[00:20:43] came from because we still don't know where it came from so it's gonna oh my god what if it was

[00:20:47] the flashlight baby i was about to say like what if it like what if we get whoever it came from

[00:20:53] and it is like related to izuku or something like the ancestor of izuku that's oh my god i i'm

[00:20:59] fully deciding that it is the flashlight baby's quirk and when if izuku stores up enough power he's

[00:21:05] gonna glow no no i have it even better because you know how his his mom's quirk is um like she

[00:21:12] her telekinesis is only like she can draw stuff towards her that's kind of like power storage

[00:21:17] like you draw in the power so it's also like izuku drawing people together yeah it is yes it

[00:21:25] it makes it would it would be amazing if it turns out that the original holder of the power storage

[00:21:30] quirk is inkos ancestor like it has nothing to do with his fucking father we still have

[00:21:37] dad for one to do his his supposed father is over in the u.s none of it nothing it's all

[00:21:45] in go that would be great that would be pretty darn cool i'm calling it now it'll be on the internet

[00:21:50] today we will see if that comes to fruition anyways so with that he does have the power

[00:21:56] storage quirk and he was able to essentially store a year's worth of power within himself

[00:22:03] like like all my dad over his career yeah and so with well actually i'm not sure how much he has

[00:22:10] in him because how much has he used because he's been using while he's been storing right but it's

[00:22:15] like now now that all the other quirks are gone and he can't use those anymore he's now finally down to

[00:22:21] the last ember yeah which is how it was um how it was shown during the kamino fight yeah also and

[00:22:29] also um oh my god the the movie the movie yes two heroes yeah or heroes rising yes you're

[00:22:35] right good lord okay we got to keep going because i have somewhere to be after this okay okay so he

[00:22:41] says the ember is still in me and as long as he has that he's going to keep going so as i was like

[00:22:47] okay fine um here here's some bandages here's some medicine and here's a shirt all of this

[00:22:53] is from the refugees and of course i love how he goes we can't have you getting cold yes

[00:22:58] like you gotta you gotta cover up the nips my son um and of course izuku recognizes the

[00:23:03] fucking shirt and he knows exactly what it is because it's merch the men's none no brand series

[00:23:09] five one size t-shirt i love him oh he's such a dork i love him all right and then sweet sweet

[00:23:16] awiyama shows up and he grabs izuku's hand and he's like we need your strength and you need ours

[00:23:23] let's go let's go together and izuku flashes back to him offering awiyama his hand and it's

[00:23:29] sweet and they're together and then the babies and they start running yes oh my god katsuki it's

[00:23:35] going to see this recording later he's gonna be so mad he's gonna be like oh how dare you hold my boyfriend's

[00:23:39] hand because we also we don't know where katsuki and ura raka are um i have to see them they're

[00:23:46] getting patched up yes and i don't think it is there i didn't see him unless he's like in the

[00:23:51] background and he's gonna show up in a minute yeah i didn't see him either we'll see we'll

[00:23:56] see because those are like his buddies like his big three um so with that we do flash over to

[00:24:03] kind of to the shelter where everyone was watching him where ari is and kota ari's got a little bandage

[00:24:10] bandage over where her horn was or is so we'll see how that works she still has this stump

[00:24:15] she's gotta regrow it yep and gran terino we get a shot of him he's he's still in bed

[00:24:22] because he got so injured in the first fucking fight like he's also ancient yes so he's still in

[00:24:28] his hospital bed but he's watching he's like oh my god go and then we get a quick shot of the

[00:24:33] look at endeavor guy whatever and izuku takes a step and the final page oh i know oh my boy

[00:24:41] this is what i was actually spoiled on this is the oh this is so good i know this is the art

[00:24:47] that has that it's the only thing i saw before today and it's like oh my god he's wearing his shirt

[00:24:52] he's running and he's going and it's like he's going oh and it's you can do it deki do

[00:24:58] it's like they're all cheering and there he's going and he's gonna go and then most of the leaks

[00:25:03] that i saw were basically ticktocks pointing out how this is like essentially the evolution of

[00:25:11] his body moving on his own and jumping in to save kotski at the very beginning yes yes

[00:25:16] it's an exact replication of that panel oh and that's where the chapter ends it's beautiful

[00:25:22] it's so good it's wonderful the end is coming we're gonna beat if it was a bitch ass and unfortunately

[00:25:30] the next chapter is in 14 days so god damn it we have we're gonna wait another fortnight

[00:25:36] just just vibrating and wanting to know what's going on oh oh my gosh oh so much happened

[00:25:43] oh that was so good oh man oh my god that you can do it oh that's gonna make me cry

[00:25:50] yep the sweet deki ru oh my goodness i'm telling you he needs to change his hero name he really does

[00:25:56] he might he can't he still can um because remember he he changed his quirk on his like

[00:26:02] registration papers and also all of those papers are probably like at the bottom of an ash pile

[00:26:08] by now right like i doubt everyone's documentation is gone like oh yeah we're gonna have to build up a

[00:26:15] whole new bureaucracy but it's okay because deki ru is here yes oh oh that was so good that was

[00:26:22] so good yeah last last chapter was a bunch of lore this chapter was a bunch of character

[00:26:28] and going and fighting and everyone's coming together and it's beautiful and we have to see

[00:26:34] what happens next like what's going on with the characters that are that were down how are they

[00:26:39] gonna be here are they gonna watch the fight it was like huh what happens next i have a feeling that

[00:26:45] you know you're correct and that ochako ita and katsuki are gonna come in as like the final wave

[00:26:50] of the final fight yeah the final wave of the support and maybe kuro giri will be there as well

[00:26:57] maybe spinner if they get him back up on his feet and that would be nice yeah

[00:27:02] like the whole league coming together to like try and get shiggy out of afo and like beat him back

[00:27:07] again i really want to see that i really want to see that so bad yeah me too we will see oh man

[00:27:12] but i think i don't think there are any other really pending loose threads i think right now

[00:27:18] it's just like this is the fight that's happening um and we may get others included kind of like

[00:27:25] we did with fucking shoto showing up out of nowhere they might show up again or it may

[00:27:30] just continue as it is anything can happen but izuku is back on his feet with his arms with his

[00:27:36] shirt and his friends yes he still gets to have a quirk he still gets to have his arms thank god

[00:27:43] goodness and it'll be nice to see if he can keep his power storage quirk because it fits into

[00:27:49] his dna because it was his ancestors maybe possibly it's my head canna and you can't take it away

[00:27:55] from me horror koshi yeah it'll be interesting to see um if like because you know once um

[00:28:03] toshi burned his out his is gone for good i'm pretty sure yeah his is his was totally gone

[00:28:07] because he did start out as completely quirkless and his it like we know his family was not

[00:28:14] connected to any of the other generations but we still kind of we still are leaving it open

[00:28:20] for izuku mainly because of tropes and also mainly because there are so many theories about his

[00:28:26] ancestry and about what his original quirk might have been like it's left it's more in the air

[00:28:33] than toshi says yeah yeah well i guess we'll see we will see and how dare it be in two weeks i know

[00:28:40] good lord all right well any final thoughts or are you good i i am good for now i will probably

[00:28:46] have more thoughts but that's what the internet is for i guess sounds good all right well thank

[00:28:55] y'all for listening we'll be back in two weeks but in the meantime go beyond plus ultra and catch

[00:29:01] the fuck up bye y'all bye
