Do you want to know what we do to artists?

Heroes have to be licensed, so there may be some set standards. "Don't put 'Murder' in your hero name" seems like a reasonable thing to ask.

Though that sequence did make it appear that at least the initial obstacle is the approval of their peers.

One of the first heroes we see in the series is a guy named Death Arms.

This makes me ask if hero names even need formal approval. Lord Explosion Murder might not be the most heroic and PR-friendly name but it's what Bakugo chose :colbert:

Baron Von Explodokill is a better name anyway.

New theory, Bakugo is going to challenge him in ritual combat for the right to steal his name.

Where did Kacchan even come from? Was there an origin for it or was it just Deku being a weird, awkward dork?

It's just a cute nickname Deku called him when they were kids, a shortening of Katsuki chan.

Bakugo's first name is Katsuki. Kacchan is just Ka from his name and the cutesy, childish honorific "chan". That Deku keeps using it now that he's an angry teenage boy is part of why it pissed off Bakugo to keep hearing it still.

The other part is that it was Deku, specifically.

I fully believe that Izuku still using "Kacchan" is 80% genuine and 20% him being passive-aggressive.

Kaminari calls him Kacchan now too.

Bakugou never really seems to mind the nickname that much honestly. For as mad as he usually is at Deku in general, I don't think I've ever actually seen him tell him or anyone else to stop calling him that.

Yeah, a big part of Bakugo and Izuku's progress towards being Actual Friends is Izuku getting more comfortable with casually poo poo-talking Bakugo.

This is also why U.A. is so good for him. A whole class of people who don't take him that seriously really keeps his ego in check.

That doesn't make sense, we know Aizawa and company are alive.

We uhh...we have enough reasons to believe Shirakumo isn't though. At the very least, something bad will happen to him. This arc is going to end up depressing, isn't it?

Sorry I meant the main cast, not the cameo heroes.

I'm only half-joking, I genuinely expect them to get rightly hosed up at some point. :smith:

The narration at the end of the last arc made it sounds like some villains were going to come after Koichi soon. I have a feeling Overclock is going to target him soon because of his connection to Knuckleduster(O'Clock). That's probably going to lead to some bad times for poor Hauler.

I feel this will become genuinely critical soon since both series are intersecting more lately, like Present Mic mentioning Shirakumo to Aizawa in the main series, and then Vigilantes showing the backstory with him, or before that, Trigger being used in the main story. It's clear that Vigilantes has gained far more importance than we expected, and likely than it was originally meant to have.

Also it'd be rather useful if the anime catches up to the manga, instead of going years with nothing, adapt Vigilantes instead.

I’ve always thought that vigilantes has something to do with the creation of nomu as a personal pet theory.

I wonder if Recovery Girl is so small because she's a cartoon old person or if she's the same body type as Mineta and La Brava.

It was nice to see an arc with low stakes for once, and where Deku could just do his own thing. No need for rescuing, or for breaking his body into pieces. Just a good boy doing a good think to make a little girl smile.

The Deku VS Gentle chase-fight (just the fight, not counting story weight) is infinitely better than any fight before or after it. Horikoshi had a lot of fun with it and the midair stuff is way cooler than the slugfests.

Maybe, MAYBE, Deku and Bakugo VS All Might comes close. Or Team Tsuyu VS Team Some Class B Students

The only mha arc I was pretty bored by was the joint training arc because it had no real stakes until the end

La Brava and Gentle were a lot of fun to me, and the fight was pretty good. The concert is gonna be interesting- Jirou's Japanese voice actor has singing experience.
