I notice that in translations a lot and I think it's an ESL thing- typically people coming from non-English (particularly Asian languages) to English have trouble with stuff like homophones. This isn't really a homophone but I could see confusing "Breath" and "Breathe" if English isn't your native tongue and you're trying to sound it out in your head.

This is mostly coming from my coworkers and colleagues- many of whom speak English as their second language and Thai and/or Chinese as their primary.

It's easy to remember that "ea" makes the /i/ sound, but harder to remember that following that with "th" undoes it eg "death" :shrug:

Panels like the one in the bottom are fantastic because they convey so much movement and action at once, but it's still easy enough to tell what happened. It does a great job of capturing the tension and speed of the fight.

Hell yeah Bakugou.

Am I just imagining things, or is this ominous narration foreshadowing that Deku is going to accidentally cripple Kacchan? Maybe he was a decoy rival all along. Hot Coldman basically occupies the same role, even being the son of the mentor's rival, and he even failed the hero test like Kacchan did. Why have two characters serving the same purpose in the plot? And when Kacchan failed the test, it was for more nebulous reasons. Maybe the plan was never to have him get his license later. Maybe the author always intended for him to become a vegetable here. Maybe that's why he was written as so unlikable, so readers wouldn't be as bummed out by his career ruining injury.

I'm also very suspicious of the previous chapter's unseen character stopping Eraserhead. If it was just All Might, why did the author want to conceal that?

A 5% smash to the jaw didn't even knock out Stain, at least immediately. An 8% smash through a guard might be damaging, but not to that extent. Plus they have the Youthful Heroine Recovery Girl there to fix any ouchies.

I do think it might well be the traitor that intercepted Aizawa though.

Brain damage is way too dark for this story, so that's out. With the Recovery Girl running around, the danger with Deku's accidentally doing too far is more the pain he would be inflicting or the possible discipline he might receive.

However:

I believe the last time it happened was right before when Iida went and challenged Stain. And we all know how that turned out.

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
My prediction: Bakugou joins the "destroyed hand" club, and Todoroki (who happened to accidentally delay Eraserhead by startling him as he was going to the convenience store) starts covertly looking into local exorcists.

Unless Deku outright killed Bakugou, I don't see how it'll be crippling considering OFA's blowback damage has been way worse. And I doubt 8% is enough to instagib Bakugou when 5% isn't. Looking forward to next week now, this week was intense and excellent action though.

Yeah, considering the sheer poo poo Deku's arm has taken while remaining fixable I think Bakugou has a bit of a buffer (don't think he's even been seriously injured)?

Gaining 3 percent of basically superman's power is a lot.

I imagine this ends the fight or someone steps in.

5% let a smallish, mildly fit teenager lay a trained adult out in a couple punches, wall jump, and leap 20+ feet on the air.

I think it's pretty clear that Bakugou is gifted at pretty much everything he does that doesn't involve not being a poo poo head. It isn't just that he has trained more than everyone or something.

bakugou is naturally very very talented, its where his arrogance comes from in the first place

they show it in a flashback to his childhood. hes like "why isnt anyone else getting this..." then he has a realizaiton "I get it! I'm just better than everyone!"
