Shinso was supposedly comically out of shape circa the sports festival. At the entrance exam he was probably sucking wind after jogging from the outer wall to the main city.

He was not out of shape. He was just not in shape compared to Deku.

Ironically, it feels like Deku's new kit is primarily aimed at avoiding damage. Long-range grapples, an alternate form of mobility, a way to mess with the enemy's sight, and a literal Danger Sense.


I don't recall Horikoshi being a big Deadpool guy, but he must be nerding out on the inside, right?

This is amazing and makes me want to read the Deadpool manga even more than I already did. Too bad it's probably a nightmare to translate officially considering copyright issues.

I have no idea why Deadpool is holding a spellbook from Zatch Bell at the end there but I appreciate being reminded of it.

It'd make me happy if that series got a new anime adaptation that covered the whole manga, like Shaman King.

Yeah, at least the series calls it out, but I'm really curious how something so obviously flawed and dumb(and not to mention probably REALLY EXPENSIVE, to boot, based on the talk about the robots during the AFO prison break sequence) became the entry test for the most prestigious and important hero school in the country.

the answer is probably that horikoshi wasn't thinking very far ahead when he wrote that chapter

The prison bots are probably much more complex and higher quality too. The UA bots are designed to be defeated by children

She's 2 years older than Aizawa (from memory) and he might not have taken the test, as it's one he would fail and he's in the Hero Course from the start, unless he successfully transferred in with the tournament.

They're made according to designs developed by Power Loader I would assume, and likely he takes the scrapped ones and uses the materials to rebuild them.

That's the explanation in the 4Koma parody "Smash", but only for the 0 pointer.

The smaller ones are presumably much cheaper.

There is the possibility to get in on recommendation and not on the test itself, but from what we've seen those people tend to have powers that would deal with the robots mostly fine.

Come for the explanation on how Deku's body isn't broken (All for One is changing his physical structure, sure makes sense), stay for the middle panels on Deku telling his mom not to worry about him and try not to cry

Also lmao at the Dr. Mario cameo

But People have fears that beasts do not. Questions, too.
I mean, I'm okay with the OfA resilience boost? It's not like he's not been training his body to cope with that all along, and All Might was hella tough. And look at his arm in the hug panel - he's ALREADY taken his hits.

Oh no, I'm on board with it too. It's internally consistent for the reasons you point out, which is what matters. Plus, it seems like Blackwhip has defensive properties too since Deku wrapping his arms in it while fighting Shigaraki seems to have protected them from damage

So Deku isn't totally on his own, he has the Top 3 and All Might watching his back while he's out there. Also, he totally got those gauntlets from Melissa Shield.

Are we already going into the final showdown? Someone must really be leaning on Horikoshi to end this, that's pretty abrupt.

I'm a little annoyed with this for the simple reason that the story's been yelling at Izuku from minute one that he can't keep breaking his loving limbs, to the point we were on his last chance for reals no takesies-backsies, and then he turns his arms into chunky salsa and it gets conveniently waved away.

But also from what we've been led to understand it wouldn't really make sense that 5% Deku and 45% Deku would be equally hosed up from using 100%

I wonder? But it still feels like there's a lot of balls in their air at the moment to be rushing into that. It's not like the series is doing poorly- and it has another movie coming this year as well.

I want to say his editor said while we were entering into the homestretch it was going to take a while?

I reckon they've asked him to wrap it up by chapter 350, and he decided to just dump everything before the showdown so that he could wrap up existing storylines and do a proper finale at a decent pace, maybe give the other classmates a chance to shine one last time.

I think it also feels that way because the pace used to be pretty slow all things considered, and a lot of it was setting things up. But now everything seems to have been set up so it's all moving a lot quicker.

Chainsaw Man's ending was pretty good.

Well, part 1's ending. But it's the end of the run in Jump, so it counts.
