#I bet he’s saying: ‘‘This is the LOV. The most dangerous villains in Japan. And then there’s me... a cosplayer with a sword.’’

I got it!
Tumblr media
Spinner’s not there because he’s in the booth narrating over this establishing shot, probably talking about how he views the LOV and that this is the team he’s joined.
(Or this is a picture from the MVA op/Ed and Spinner comes into the frame a few seconds after this still frame.)

I can't wait to see the development of Spinner after this timeskip. Spinner is the character who has not found his own way. All the other members of LoV know very well what they want and face their own problems at the moment. Spinner is surely overwhelmed by the situation and does not know what to do: Take care of Shigaraki? Save MrCompress? Find Toga? (I don't include Dabi because Spinner must have seen that he could be independent)
I wouldn't even be surprised if we had a panel where Dabi rejects Spinner as Early-roki with Inasa
Anon, I kinda agree. If anything, I have always thought that Spinner is quiet a wonderful character in terms of knowing his values and knowing himself.
And for his way, I think it is well defined, even if he doesn't know it yet. He is the champion of the "mutants" and the solid representation of the fight against racism and discrimination. At the same time, he has always been quiet heroic, protecting his friends and providing emotional support to them, one of the things they need the most.
Dabi wants revenge, Toga wants to live well and easy, Tomura wants to destroy. All these purposes are generated by a type of anger that leaves nothing but pain behind. Tomura won't find the love he searches for if he destroys the world, Toga won't live in an easier world if she helps Tomura, Dabi won't break the cycle of abuse he is in if he kills Endeavor.
Spinner is not going to end racism either by helping Tomura, but he has inspired others. More than any other member of the League, Spinner has a positive reason to fight. The way he has done it is not okay, but you don't see anyone else in the bnha / mha universe fighting against racism as much as him. Hawks and Mirko, two of the "mutant" pro-heroes among the best pro-heroes in Japan, hasn't even name that problem.
And we can't forget Spinner first followed Stain, who wanted to give recognition to the real heroes and not the fake ones. In that sense, Spinner doesn't want to destroy society or kill the pro-heroes. He followed Tomura because he saw how sad was his story and how passionate he was about making a new world. But you are able to see in the new chapters that he doesn't want destruction or abuse of power in the form of AFO.
I think his priorities are going to be helping Tomura, finding a way to the other members of the League so they can help him saving Tomura, even making a deal with the heroes in order to protect his friends and finally making a good change in society, to protect the people with animalistic quirks or mutations that are being constantly discriminated.
Like you say, I think Dabi is gonna reject Spinner in some way. And Spinner maybe is will head on his own to find Toga, the only other member of the League who can help him. I think Spinner and Toga are going to be the two sides of a bridge between the heroes and the villains, and they are going to open the way for the heroes so they can reach Dabi and Tomura and AFO.
I'm curious about who's gonna connect with Spinner from the side of the heroes. I think 8 read something about Horikoshi saying Shoji is gonna be important in the last arc, but I don't know. Spinner has saved Deku before (Spinner stopped Magne for hurting Deku in the summer camp attack), and they both want to save Tomura, so it would be an interesting duo.
I know Kurogiri is also going to be a vital element in the final fight. He's gonna play against AFO to save Tomura or Shirakumo is going to play with the heroes, but also to save Tomura. Either way, it'd be funny if Toga was heading to find Kurogiri and the heroes trap her in there.
A part of me would like to All Might and Spinner to meet. All Might wanted to save Tomura and he knows his past, Spinner knows what AFO did to him and I bet he would argue about how good is Tomura and in how much danger he is. OR WAIT, STAIN IS SOMEWHERE OUT THERE? Oh, it'd be wonderful for Spinner to meet his role model and that being the way he gets to know what he wants to do. You know in the old "I count on you" style.
I have many ideas for Spinner and all of them are wonderful. He is really an underrated character with a lot of narrative and storytelling in the manga, and it's a total shame that he doesn't get to shine in the same way in the anime.
