I hope this series goes long enough to delve into the fact that the main character isn't a mutant but has legit super powers.

Zero_Tactility posted:I'm having trouble making the connection here. That doesn't seem like it follows even using goofy comic book physics. The only two things I could guess would be the the unaffected air surrounding the area would rush in and disperse the mass-less air, or the air-pressure of the area would drop to 0 since gravity couldn't affect it. You'd either not be able to breathe, or have basically end up explosively decompressing.

Removing the effects of gravity on air wouldn't create a vacuum. No matter where the air moved to it would just get replaced with other air. And why wouldn't people be able to breathe? People can breathe in the space station, and that air is (effectively) not affected by gravity.

Yeah, it would create a gust of wind proportionate to the amount of air getting displaced.

Why did Deku's toe shine in the very first chapter as if it was about to activate? It seems weird to just have that just to introduce the reason behind mutant powers.

If I am remembering correctly, the source of the quirks is a bone or something in the toe. Deku not having one is the reason why he doesn't have superpowers.

Most of this physics talk is baseless until we know whether she's removing weight (through the force of gravity) or mass. There's a world of difference between the two. If, and this is a big if, the author has thought it through it's probably removing the mass; she was able to stop Deku from falling to his death and only removing only gravity wouldn't have made an immediate difference. Removing mass would allow the drag from air to bring him to a stop very quickly. Re air chat: Removing weight (gravity) from the air it would accomplish nothing besides creating a strong wind as air was replaced. Like how hot air rises in a balloon, only from a different cause. Removing the mass from the air wouldn't even cause that; the pressure wouldn't even change. On the other hand adding a lot of mass to air would make it difficult or impossible to breathe. Adding a lot of gravity (weight) to the air would probably have the same effect as a constricting snake. Also explosive decompression (as in literally exploding/bursting out of your skin) is a myth.

Why the gently caress are you nerds talking physics about this manga? It is a cool power and it will do whatever it needs to be cool, physics be damned. But, but, she removed the gravity from that ball and threw it infinitely upwards! But... what about air friction?  shouldn't that have stopped the gravity-less ball? The author is obviously not giving it enough thought. Edit: This manga is great and I hope the author never gives a poo poo about physics.

This is a manga where people get superpowers from a tiny bone in their toe. The physics in this world work however the author drat-well pleases.

Deku is double jointed in his toe. Deku also has no 'quirk', ie no superpower. He's a rarity in both the real world and the manga's.

It's not that the toe is what gives them powers, it's that the lack of joint is an indication that the person has evolved further than a standard human (because the toe joint is vestigial) and therefore part of the "new generation" that has powers.

So to be more accurate, this is a series where superpowers are gained by NOT having a tiny bone in your toe.

Not gained by, but indicated by. I'm probably being too pedantic about this.

Goddamnit the toes not a superpower. It's your average everyday real-life weird thing. It's why the joke is funny. Damnit.

http://bato.to/read/_/285569/boku-no-hero-academia_ch9_by_fallen-angels New chapter is out! EDIT: I love that kacchan's "sympathetic backstory" is that he has always been an rear end in a top hat and no one has ever stopped him from being an rear end in a top hat, so now he's super pissed because someone is standing up to him. He is so extremely villainous it is ridiculous. gnome7 fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Nov 17, 2014 |

Despite his sheer jackassery I kind of like him. He's become an rear end in a top hat because his environment and ability affirmed the typical kid egocentrism to unhealthy levels. Plus it'll make it all the greater when he gets the snot beaten out of him. Multiple times, probably, he looks like the stubborn sort.

This is a surprisingly fun manga, and I'm loving the art style. I also agree that Iida is the best as Oblivious Genius.

It's going to be a shame when this series inevitably devolves into tournament arcs and stuff but if the cast can remain as consistently entertaining, it won't even bug me.

Echoing what others have said: Kacchan v. Deku is almost literally textbook Fixed vs. Growth Mindset. We've seen plenty of shonen stuff that pits scrappy, underprivileged hero against privileged, popular rival, but I've never seen that specific theme hit this hard and this effectively before. Great stuff!

Bakugou is no lie one of the scariest antagonists I think I've ever seen in a shonen. Dude is just made of raw anger which is somehow more frightening than being evil.

The way I see this going wrong is if we start getting hit with SERIOUS PLOT. So keep an eye out for that, I guess.

The scans are a bit behind the raws so I'm sorry to inform you that the plot does indeed get serious fast. On the other hand frog girl features prominently so maybe its a wash

But is it bad serious or good serious. Right now it's more or less serious, but not the bad kind of serious where everybody's frowning and pretending to be dark and broody.
