Manatee Cannon posted:they were always part of o4a Yeah, he woke up blackwhip a little while before class A vs class B, then properly deployed it for the first time during his match in A vs B. The other powers were stated to exist so everyone assumed he'd have another bunch of "discover power, figure out how to use power" story bits but instead he basically discovered all of them and how to utilize them offscreen all at once in the runup to Loner Deku, though most of the times he uses them in battle are technically the first time he uses them - I think Nagant was the first time he used Fa Jin.

I'm glad people here are so helpful for a post obviously making fun of another poster for missing Bakugo's apology  I had a hard time following what went on, and the language is blurry enough that I will hold off on comments until we get the official translation. Edit: Well, not everyone.

Shigaraki isn’t really okay with being assimilated into AFO’s consciousness as part of a petty long con revenge scheme so he’s taking his body back, that’s about the long and short of it. Also Lady Nagant died again, maybe

Lmao, Lady Nagant being brought back only to hit Shigaraki twice and then dying (?) again and it being apparently enough to make AfO fly off his handle and allow Shigaraki to absorb him (?) was dumb as gently caress. Like what?

I feel like one obvious route is "Deku and Shigaraki punch each other a lot, Deku 'wins' and manages to somehow tentatively convince Shigaraki to stand down/'save' him, AfO's main body shows up and the proximity allows him to take control of Shigaraki again to reset the fight because this manga absolutely refuses to let a fight end".

what the heck are the rules here? i don't understand what shigaraki's abilities and limits are from one chapter to the next. destroying his hands wouldn't have worked before because he was generating a hand fractal, sure. but now it does, except he still has at least one additional quirk that let him regenerate exactly one pair of hands. so he has some quirks from afo, but not others?

It's a really stupid and impossible-to-demonstrate one - if Shiggy feels like he's afraid of the combatant he's up against, then his regen and protective enhancements falter against their attacks. Also this is somehow not a quirk he has, but a "mutation", therefore Aizawa's Erasure has no effect on his defenses. If there was anyone among the heroes with some kind of emotion-influencing power like the Psycho-Pirate, this fight might be over right now. Ironically, we do have Ms. Joke, but she got sent to the cornfield because her only purpose in this manga was to give Aizawa a case of the Not-Gays while he's being really emotional with Present Mic and Kurogiri to the delight of the BL demographic that's voting him into the Top 10 for it.

Out of context the chapter is fine imo. It’s just the context that we’ve basically gone thru a bunch of stuff (that was mostly really bad!) that we really could’ve just skipped and spent on other things that sours it for me a little.

Yeah I don't really have any real criticisms of this chapter in a vacuum. It only becomes goofy in the context of stuff from the rest of the arc. Some examples:

Shiggy and All For One have been fighting back and fourth over who is in control since the War arc, so I'm going to guess this won't be the last time we see AfO take control. Probably won't be until his main body is actually dead for real this time that this struggle finally ends.

Delphisage posted:Does Hori even know how he wants to resolve Ochako vs Toga? Does anyone know how to resolve it in a satisfying way? Their rivalry was always completely secondhand and really forced("Toga has a crush on Deku and so does Ochako so I guess they can fight each other? Also Tsuyu is here too for some reason"), so I'm not sure if there's a way to resolve it in a satisfying way. Ochako has never really been allowed to connect with Toga in any way beyond "let's have a talk about love" - she doesn't even really understand that what Toga considers "love" is entirely a different concept than what she does. It really feels like a common shonen problem of "uhh I guess we'll have the girl fight the girl because they're both girls and Ochako needs something to do", which is a shame because MHA has had a couple of decent mixed gender fights like Ochako vs Bakugo. If anyone should be having a climactic battle with Toga, it should be Hawks, because Hawks is the most direct representative of the poo poo parts of the system that chewed her up and spit her out, and also he personally murdered her best friend. They also both even have the "speedster assassin who stabs people" fighting style going on. Kanos fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Jan 30, 2023 |

The fight and the arc has gone on for a while, so if someone can help clarify, I would appreciate it. Wasn't the point of tomb supposed to be a safeguard to prevent Shimura from decaying the Earth? So if Deku brings Shimura back onto Earth now that he has his quirks back, isn't the Earth at jeopardy?

The Toga and Ochako thing is that Toga has crushes on people that she admires and then murders them, Ochako has a crush on Deku but is putting it to the side because she admires him. Toga is able to percieve this similarity and so feels somewhat close to Ochako and Ochako is able to understand that maybe Toga isn't just a freaky vampire villain and kinda a normal person that can be reasoned with deep down. And thus presumably through their fight Ochako will be able to save/help Toga in the same way Deku will save/help Shigaraki. It's all fairly shallow and one-note but the parralells and narrative are pretty clear.

And thus presumably through their fight Ochako will be able to save/help Toga in the same way Deku will save/help Shigaraki. Yes, I understand, and it's very forced. Their entire rivalry is through the lens of the underbaked "Ochako has a crush on Deku" B-plot, and said rivalry is introduced by Ochako running into Toga in the woods and Toga going "ah, you must like this boy too!". There's no real reason for Toga to personally give a poo poo about Ochako at all beyond that incredibly tenuous connection, and the manga even lampshades this to a degree by Toga almost literally turning to Ochako and saying "okay I have way more important things to worry about than love chat, bye" when she gets teleported out. I don't really know how this super tenuous connection really puts Ochako in a position to save Toga in a way that feels narratively satisfying, either. The core root of Toga's tragedy is that her entire conception of love and affection is out of step with what's viewed as acceptable by society, and instead of accommodating this or helping her to deal with it, everyone around her shunned and reviled her. As far as Ochako's aware, Toga is just a freaky stalker who murders people she claims to love. All of their interactions have consisted of Toga going "I love you!" before trying to violently stab Ochako and drink her blood - she has no idea that this is a biological compulsion and a complete difference in sensory perception, rather than Toga just being a mentally ill murderer. There's no basis for Ochako to understand the root of Toga's problems and how to approach convincing her to try again to address them, short of Toga literally explaining the situation to her - which she could do to anyone.
