Asui sounds fine but for some reason I always imagined she'd be louder.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Bakugou is honestly probably a really terrible match for Stain. If only because more than most at the school Bakugou is exactly the type of hero Stain despises and would love to murder. I'm not so sure, it seems like the type of hero he hates most is the cynical type that is only in it for the money. Bakugou is a weird case where he's in it because he wants to Be The Best. I mean, I'm sure Stain would still hate him, but I imagine that Stain would hate someone like Iida more (due to how he perceives Iida, not due to how Iida actually is).

Stain hated Iida because revenge is a selfish motivation and Hero's aren't selfish. Bakugou on the other hand is hella selfish, I can't see Stain liking him at all. The only student I can see Stain hating more would be Mineta, because he wants to be a hero just for the fame and to be cool. While Bakugou at least seems to have more noble ideals, even if he is a huge rear end in a top hat and never actually really acts noble. (Then again Stain is a crazy person who could probably come up with reasons to murder most people at the school not named Deku) Edit:Actually Stain might dislike Uraraka just as much since money is her main motivation, even if she's doing it for her family. I doubt that'd be good enough for Stain. SyntheticPolygon fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Feb 15, 2016 |

Yeah, I doubt most people are good enough for Stain. The dude has crazy high standards and generally doesn't know the inner workings of the people he judges - and I don't know if he even cares - so he goes off by what he sees on the surface. Re: Bakugou Bakugou and Todorki are at a major disadvantage currently because they do not want to set the forest on fire (more than it already is) so they have to rely on their basic physical abilities (which are admittedly good, but Todoroki has to carry a dude on his back) or Todorki's ice. So I could see them losing up against trained adults who have use of their powers. That being said, Bakugou is probably the best among Class A in a fight, I'd say? He and Stain both appear to share an incredible battle sense (both Bakugou and Stain figured out Todoroki's weakness) as well as insane reflexes.

That brings to mind one thing that has been bugging me for a bit about this series, that we haven't really seen anyone besides Deku and arguably Todoroki and Iida be in positions to do Heroic Things. I mean it's to be expected that a shounen comic is going to have a focus on fighting and training, but there has been no real opportunity to see how most of the students respond when in a situation where they need to save someone who isn't a classmate either from an accident or an attack. I'm hoping it's because we just haven't gotten to arcs where that becomes a thing yet, but it's a major bit of characterization that is still pretty lacking, and it's particularly relevant for Bakugou. It's probably a safe bet that if he had to stop someone attacking civilians he'd go straight for the attackers (which is the correct thing according to law enforcement), but would he be as effective and adaptable in something that isn't a fight? An arc with a disaster not directly involving villains would really help the series a lot, I think.

It's exceedingly easy when writing this sort of story to view the bad guys less as characters, more as obstacles. The main guy and his immediate retinue might get some good coverage but everyone else kinda sorta just exists. As much as my heart overflows with love for Jojo Part 3, I can't deny that like 90% of the dudes the Joestars face were created solely to challenge them and have no other permanence, presence, or importance in that world. Most of them don't have motivations or life stories. All this to say, the little spat between Spinner and Magne goes a long way towards humanizing them in a weird way. At the end of the day they're both probably just mooks who'll be defeated and forgotten about, but I like the little touch where Spinner's totally drinking the Kool-Aid he himself made while Magne's just here to knock some skulls in cause that's what he's into. chumbler posted:That brings to mind one thing that has been bugging me for a bit about this series, that we haven't really seen anyone besides Deku and arguably Todoroki and Iida be in positions to do Heroic Things.

On the topic of Tsuyu and heroicness or Stain's definition thereof, Tsuyu actually fits that pretty well, based on what we've seen of her. I mean, we don't really know her motivations, but from what we've seen of her character, her evaluation when she was working with Tokoyami in the exams prior to this arc, and so on, she seems to be wanting to be a hero to help people and stuff basically.

That's why I was slightly surprised that we didn't get a headfake where she ended up being the one who got attacked- it would clearly point out the weakness in Stain's philosophy and that he likely doesn't really do his homework on his targets anymore. I imagine Iida's brother is cool and all but we don't know poo poo about him other than what we see through Iida's perspective so while we feel bad for Iida because of how badly his loss hurts him we don't really know poo poo about Ingenium. We feel bad because Iida feels bad. I mean, maybe he WAS into heroism for a shallow reason, like "Oh, my parents were heroes so I'll be one too I guess?". I don't know if that's quite egregious enough to have your spine carved out with a hunting knife but it's not All Might levels of pure heroism.

Well remember that plenty of heroes have specialties so bakugou really has no need to ever worry about accidents if he just wants to beat down badguys. like would you expect a firefighter to stop a bank robbery?

I kinda wish we could've seen what sent Stain over the edge really. His motivation and what caused his change (and who he targeted) is kind of important. It's the difference between him being a complete psychopathic serial killer who doesn't even really understand what he's killing people for, or he's this actually pretty tragic figure driven to murder by seeing too much behind the curtain and being rendered hopeless by society not giving a poo poo.

Fabricated posted:Not necessarily but him attacking someone more characterized than Ingenium would've been helpful considering the whole point of what he spurs into motion is that the hero system is really hosed up underneath and that has created a whole movement of villains (well-intentioned or deranged or not) dedicated to tearing it all down- Horikoshi even went out of his way to point out that Stain tried doing the right thing for quite a while after he quit school in disgust by trying to convince anyone who would listen. Guy looked like he had most of his face burned off. I'm blaming Endeavour.

Korean scans for Hero Academia are up and the chapter is really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really good. http://www.shencomics.com/archives/624512 And it finally puts an end to the stupid arm debate.

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:And it finally puts an end to the stupid arm debate. So it happened in a manner I described, except I said it as the only way it could be possible given the evidence and with what we saw of Shouji's powers they hadn't been used like that so I dismissed that as impossible. Okay then; I was wrong, and somehow managed to go over exactly what was actually right in my wrong arguments. Also, the fight with gas dude went on longer than I thought it would; I figured he'd fail to hurt Tetsu^4 then get walloped, but they had a full fight there. Him getting his rear end kicked after all that was satisfying, too. And then Shouji tricks mad!Tokoyami into crushing Moonfish or whatever his name was. Awesome. Also brutal; his teeth, even if they're weird extruded super-teeth, breaking like that is awful. Roland Jones fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Feb 18, 2016 |
