I wonder whether MHA or Vigilantes will end first as they both seem to be heading towards their respective final arcs (it’d be nice to get an anime adaptation of the latter as well but I don’t think you could really get away with marketing it as a kids show).

Blueberry Pancakes posted:I wonder if Hori changed his mind on what he planned to do with that villainous merger. I just keep thinking about that splash page that showed the different factions in the organization and how that panned out to a whole lot of nothing. Most of these leaders are still uncaptured and active. I'd expect them to be various minibosses leading up to the final conflict.

MHA isn't especially long but it is the oldest currently running manga in Weekly Shonen Jump after One Piece.

Hori's kind of all over the place in interviews - he originally wanted to wrap it up in 30 volumes, but cleared that pretty easily. He probably just has a fairly clear idea for where he wants things to end up, and I can't blame someone for wanting to wrap up their story within the next half decade, especially when a bunch of really successful SJ series have done just that fairly recently. I'd also be giving One Piece the side-eye in his position because lord knows I wouldn't want my finale to coincide with anything major in that series. I think even at the current pace it still has at least a couple years of chapters before it fully wraps up. There's still quite a bit to cover, even if Hori kind of sets aside some of the more tertiary plots. We only get 40-some chapters per year. I think we're due for some sort of a breather arc here (or, at least as much of one as can be managed) and then a longer finale arc if we're truly in the end game.

I know there was a (kinda unremarked upon) 3 month timeskip already but honestly I wouldn't be shocked if they skipped straight into year 2 not long from now

Aren't they extremely close to year 2 already? Like all they have left for this year is their finals and with everything going on right now, who knows if they'll even do those. "You kids fought in a literal war with an army of villains and survived, I think we'll just go ahead and give you all an A for the rest of the year."

None of what happened here is UA's fault and they're probably one of the few place where these kids will be relatively safe from All For One's new villain army.

If anything U A might end up a shelter for heroes overall. It’s almost definitely one of the most defensible locations available.

I think UA wins that one handily what with the entrance exam that involves giant murder robots and the yearly sports festival where teenagers are encouraged to beat the poo poo out of each other with their superpowers.

Wonder how All Might is feeling right now?

All Might told Izuku at the start he was going to get hosed up and only changed his mind when the boy nearly killed himself to save Katsuki of all people.

Yeah, he was probably right in the sense that Midoriya would have just inevitably gotten himself killed, so he might as well have the power to have a better chance of surviving when doing dangerous things.

Vengarr posted:Maybe it drove the owner nuts or something. When they had that one flashback panel shows the previous holders passing on One For All, the 4th was the only one not shown dying in battle. Maybe danger sense was just too much for him and he killed himself. I could see All Might finding that out and going "mmmm, don't like that! I'm going to go ahead and not tell Midoriya about this until I can figure something out."

Sub Harrison posted:So why did Almight scratch out the 4th's info? Why so secretive over danger sense? I have two theories: 1) The 4th was a self-sacrificial maniac like Deku and burned out faster than any other holder because he just couldn't stop breaking himself to help people he knew were in danger. I think this is more likely because the thing most likely to break Deku, who wants to be "a hero who will save everybody" would be having to face the fact that he can't, in near omnipotent high definition. 2) The 4th was the exact opposite of the above and prioritized running and hiding from imminent danger. Maybe kind of a poo poo hero and a bit of a stain on the whole successor system? Maybe took the directive of protecting OFA a bit too strictly. The only reason I can entertain this one is because the 5th (Black Whip) holder seems like the kind of guy who might track him down and make him hand it over for the greater good, if he somehow caught wind of the situation. Either way, the power is more of a curse than a blessing at first blush, it's the kind of thing one might rather hide and hope it never comes up. I'm sure Deku's going to find a way to wrangle it for good, though. Probably going to be the topic of the next few chapters. If we're foot-to-the-floor on pacing right now, this would probably be the time for Deku to have a good chat with all of the previous holders and figure some things out.

Danger sense is a real double-edged sword depending on how sensitive it is.

Is danger sense for when Deku is in danger or whenever there is any danger at all?

The way it presented, it alerted him specifically (and overwhelmingly) that Shouto was in imminent danger, snapping him back into consciousness after he passed out from breaking all of his limbs.

Yeah, for someone who will break all of his bones to save the day it's probably pretty alarming for the guy trying to keep him safe that he's just been handed constantly updating minimap showing him all the opportunities he has to do so.
