horikoshi says he's gunshy about writing dark stuff but there is no part of the Nomu that doesn't make you go "jesus loving christ" after about two seconds' thought

they're random civvies, many of them probably children, who had the top of their heads sawed off and the rest of them converted into lobotomized meat puppets that can't do anything but fight and scream

The first batch of Nomu was mostly criminals, if I remember right, which makes sense.

They're people who society is less inclined to go after if they go missing, and they're also people who All for One likely has more leverage on.

Not that it covers all of them, but using children regularly strikes me as a move that'd draw undesired attention. More likely targets of opportunity than the regular main focus.

One of the Nomu looks suspiciously like one of Deku and Bakugou's middle school classmates, though...

Wasn't that only in that they had wings? If I remember right that kid didn't always have his wings out, so they probably just took his quirk.

Dabi talk that has nothing to do with the Todorikis: why is he the designated Nomu wrangler? He was in control of the one in the Camp Attack and now he's in charge of High End. A connection to the mysterious Doctor?

I think it's more that he's competent and level-headed, which is pretty rare for the League of Villains

Remembered something, which is that Dabi joined the LoV because he was inspired by Stain. If Dabi is Touya, then it stands to reason that he'd have an enormous problem with heroes by way of Endeavor being accepted by hero society as the #2, and Stain talking about how heroes are degenerate and self-serving would strike a chord with Touya-Dabi.

Theory: Dabi isn't Touya, but his skin graft is

I like that one of the previous One-For-All users was Jack from Madworld

Man, that was probably a violent little stretch of history

Onmi posted:

Note, he was guilty of several arsons before joining the LoV. Real important to remember about ideology in regards to the LoV, is how often it's pointed out how much of it is just justification the villains themselves don't believe in. Shigaraki had a big speech about the evil's of Heroes, but when All Might confronted him on it, he was pretty quick to just smile that All Might saw through fake words meant to gently caress with him.

He might agree with Stain's claims, but the truth is he's a criminal and a murderer and those had nothing to do with the evil's of heroes. They were self-satisfaction.

It's really interesting the way Horikoshi writes things in MHA. All Might considers trying to save Shigaraki, but Gran Torino puts it down immediately, that Shigaraki is a villain now, and he's crossed lines that you can't walk back. And Horikoshi confirmed that, long ago, there may have been redemption for Shigaraki, but now he's done things that there is no taking back, he is firmly evil now.

The series takes a pretty interesting position that while events can define you, your actions, ultimately, are your own. You can feel bad for Shigaraki without thinking that he's deserving of redemption.

So is she actually supposed to be naked? I figured it was some kind of wetsuit and they were just being weird about it. She seems to be pretty much the same as that girl with the needles as far as her interactions with Deku go, so I can't say I'm particularly excicted about this character.

The surprise isn't that Toga was impersonating Camie. It's that she was incredibly bad at impersonating Camie, because of her very internet slang way of speaking and someone no one noticed.
