Getting back to the chapter itself, the big problem here is, again, the execution. The concept of August's defeat COULD work, but because it's already been used some mere 3 chapters ago and because August's character is simply unexploited as a whole, it just comes off as cheap and lazy. He saw his mother and cancelled his attack and died. Okay fine. Am I supposed to get emotional for a character no one gives a shit about? No point whatsoever.
Summed it up. I may add that not only wasn´t his character underdeveloped. He was build up to require a tactical takedown due to his superiority in skill, which was dismissed for the sake of this plottwist.
This is the most annoying part of Hiro´s wiriting. The unneeded plottwist. He builds something up, wether it is a character, a fight or an important event and inbetween it´s development says fuck it and either skips it or delivers the complete opposite of what he promised. You don´t do that as a writer, you don´t change direction on a whim. That´s the equivalent of being a parent, telling your children that you´ll bring them to Disneyland and at the last minute you appear and tell them either that the trip was canceled or that you go to seaworld instead now.
