>>77278845>That he went in thinking he'd just do a quick, fun shonen dodgeball game to show off the new villainThis is obviously it, but the problem is that Hijack's gimmick is ostensibly possession, in the classical demonic sense.
A better demonstration of his power would be him hopping in and out of students so that the Activity Club would have to suss out who he's in and why.
His power set is more suited for like a kiddie version of the Thing instead of more retarded Blitzball.
It just seems like a huge step in the wrong direction compared to what the cover page seemed to allude to, the one where Hitball was a tiny element.
Also, you're right about Ed. This seems to be the chapter where Ed's supposed to develop beyond lolsorandumbXD, but we haven't seen him in literally months.
Why would you shove that into the same chapter when you reveal Dimitry and Johnny as spectrals?
This chapter is so densely packed with plotpoints and potential story and none of them are being developed. Instead we've spent 7 months watching a Dodgeball game.
