My eyes still roll out of my head at the idea that using your quirk to defend yourself in a life or death situation still gets you in deep poo poo with the law. Wouldn't be like that in America

This observation is a chapter late but I really liked how Gristle McThornbody carries around multiple fake eyes and switches them out according to his mood. It's the kinda "Dumb" little detail that humanizes an otherwise straightforward psychopathic beefy guy. Anyway, geez, Deku putting everything into this fight. Although it's occasionally a bit uncomfortable to watch, I actually like how much wear and tear his ability puts him through. Although it's fine used sparingly, having a hero suddenly grow more powerful than their opponent due to emotional stimulus is a common crutch some writers use over and over again with their boys (or girls) no worse for the wear. I don't think it's being abused here, nor do I think we're yet in danger of it being abused, but it's good to know Deku slams the win button it's not without consequences. Shigaraki was interesting this chapter, Dabi was cool, Aizawa was cool.

I don't think they'd've gotten punished for using their quirks either way. However, there's a big difference between believing "I don't think I'll be punished" and being told "Go wild".

The students used their quirks to fight back at the USJ and they weren't even being explicitly targeted for death. Anyway- Midoriya ALWAYS had the power to win; it's made clear that he has probably one of the strongest quirks on the planet. It's just what price he's willing to pay to win.

That was class A only and they were on school grounds with teachers when it happened. Its still a bit silly but makes a bit more sense that a teacher would explicitly tell the students who might be indecisive due to it being an emergency

I'd compare his quirk to the Kaioken of DBZ in that regard; yes, it means he has more power to tap into from the start, but the reader has a rough guide as to what the additional power will cost him, in pushing it beyond a comfortable limit.

In Japan, even if you are authorized to have a firearm as a policeman, you have to be explicitly told that it is authorized to make use of said firearm. This applies even in life or death situations where there is literally no choice besides to use the firearm. If you do not have this permission, you are expected to find some other way, or die. And making use of it in a situation where you will die otherwise will still get you very harsh punishments. So yeah. There is a very real cultural belief that using unauthorized weapons to save yourself, be they a varia suit or quirks you were born with is still a crime. A major one even.

Not a lot seemed to happen this chapter, unfortunately, Hopefully it goes into some of the various concurrent battles next chapter.KittyEmpress posted:I mean, this is a real thing - Other M and this both run off the exact same cultural sterotyping.

And making use of it in a situation where you will die otherwise will still get you very harsh punishments. To be fair, there are definitely some very good reasons to do things like that. While it's easy to come up with situations where it's harmful, it's just as easy to come up with ones where it can prevent a bunch of unnecessary violence/death. Having that punishment in place means that, at least in theory, people/law enforcement will generally only be willing to use firearms if they absolutely have no choice, and even though it sucks if they get some punishment for using them in a necessary situation, it sucks a lot less than someone getting shot/killed. To put it another way, I'd rather 10 people get fired or something than 1 person get shot because someone was feeling trigger happy.

A lot of countries that aren't the US don't tend to have a "murder at first opportunity" policy when it comes to conflict dangerous situations in general.

Oh, yeah, that's super right, I don't disagree with this at all. It's a good policy. Just people were making jokes about forcing people to not use their quirks in a deadly situation. There's a reason for it, and I felt like that reason should be noted.

Korean spoilers out. http://www.shencomics.com/archives/619301 the severed arm belonged to Shouji. Tokoyami's shadow is utterly losing its poo poo and he can't control it. Bakugou is the primary target. And cenobite's quirk is really weird.

After all the craziness we've seen, a gun coming out is kind of funny in a way. (Probably not going to accomplish much since it's being fired at Iron*4, though.) What's the deal with Spinner throwing a knife at his ally or whatever there? He seems to graze his friend's face with it (pissing him off, understandably), then start lecturing him before Mandalay hits him.

I wonder what's causing Tokoyami's powers to rage out of control? Also I really like how Deku keeps getting put in situations where he has to team up with a different classmate, it's a really good way to give everyone some spotlight.

It's night, they're out in the countryside, and one of the villain crew is spreading smoke everywhere which would obscure any moonlight, so it's probably much darker now than Tokoyami is used to.

One villain is still unaccounted for, so it's possible he's messing with Tokoyami's power. Somehow.

According to Shoji, Tokoyami was keeping his power under control, but when he saved Shoji from Moonfish (Bondage Dude with Teeth Blades), it acted as a trigger that set his power free to run rampant.

Fabricated posted:The best part: I know it's gonna be useless because gas-guy managed to point a gun at one of the two students who it'd be useless against, but when he pulls the gun he says something to the effect of, "No matter how exceptional the quirk...in the end you're still only human." It's kind of funny, but a submachine gun would be able to defeat the vast majority of people, hero or not. Unless they're super fast or have something that gives them high durability, there's nothing they can do about someone firing a gun at them from a distance.

Okay, someone who looked at the raws said that it was Shouji's arm that was lost, but, looking at this here, A. That still doesn't look like one of Shouji's appendages, and B. His wounded tentacle is on his left side, while that's a right arm down there. We can see that Shouji still has his right arm, meanwhile, but we don't get a good look at Tokoyami's, and losing his arm is the perfect setup for him losing control. It's even what the dialog here seems to suggest; "We were ambushed by one of the villains. I covered for him, but..." [Something bad happened, presumably; this is where the shot of the severed arm is put, meanwhile.] "It triggered the quirk he was" blah blah blah. Unless it was just getting ambushed that somehow freaked Tokoyami out so much, that is actually his arm down there, at least going by what we see and this translation; were the raws more explicit in it being Shouji's arm or something? Because it really doesn't seem like it's his based on what we're seeing.

Shouji's quirk is he can grow any body part he has on his tentacles, so who knows.

the arm looked way to small to be shoiji's. Losing an arm (and being pitch blackness in the dead of night) would also explain pretty well why/how tokoyami has lost loving control.
