Not sure how canon it’s supposed to be but didn’t he basically get something like that in the first movie?

Yeah, Melissa made a bracer that was designed to withstand 100% of All Might's power that she gave to Deku. It wasn't perfect, since it only had enough resistance to manage like 3 full power strikes, but that's more than enough to handle most villains pretty effortlessly anyway.

Would OFA work on the roboarm though?

Honestly they could give him a disposable device right now for 100% slug fests. Some sort of cover device that goes over the arm and dampens the impact against his own arm while transferring the power to the target. Just each punch destroys the device so you can still have some tension of "CAN I FINISH THIS BEFORE NEEDING TO EXPLODE MYSELF AGAIN?"

Hell yeaaaaaaaaaah, we DMC now!

But who is that in the middle picture?



It's Fat Gum and the teacher from Shiketsu that accompanied Meat guy to the Supplemental exam, which suggests that Fat Gum also went to Shiketsu

What's crazy about this ED (aside from Mirko getting a cameo on the same page as Young Might and she might only show up for like one frame of the last episode of this season) is that Shirakumo is behind Aizawa in that picture and the suggestion that Hawks was professionally trained as a child which could explain his current personality and worldview because he probably didn't have a normal childhood if he was being groomed to be a top hero.

I think we saw as much in the manga. His parents were in a car crash, I think, and he was trained from there

I've always read Inko saying "he works overseas" as "we split up, but it's not socially acceptable to be a single mother." Probably sends child support.

It's a reference to Rising of the Shield Hero, which can be described as the incel isekai fantasy with bonus child slavery.

Witty phrases on random basis
Trying to give even slightly more objective description, Shield Hero's premise is "protagonist gets accused of rape" and by what I hear it devolves into generic isekai pretty fast.

Deku should join Police Girl in one-and-a-freak arm club if the actual BNHA discussion present somehow happens. Hero Boy?

That's the one where the MC renamed a woman "Bitch" and spanked her in public (or something along those lines), right?

On a less skeevy note, I wonder what happened to Slide n Go.

Last time we saw him, he was getting nabbed by Death Arms just before the evacuation of the city began. I imagine he'll find a way out, if only so we can get a fight scene out of him and finally see what he can actually do.

Log Horizon S2 was worse than S1 though, so if we ever get S3 I hope it's better. That said, even that worse was just "kind of boring" and not "Shield Hero" so I guess I shouldn't complain much.

You're not wrong, but I'd say the difference between Shield Hero and most, but not all, of those extra lovely series is that Shield Hero was marketed pretty hard. Even Crunchyroll pushed it for a while and it got a few collaborations with mobile games. Most really garbage series just kind of live and die in obscurity.

If nothing else, at least why Season 3 will probably never be made is an excellent story. "Yeah, they ran out of books because the author went to prison for tax evasion."

Pretty much. As awful as Shield Hero is, it's not even the only popular isekai with an anime adaptation where the protagonist literally has women as slaves who love and worship him despite being slaves.

That's because the shield hero anime was Co-funded by crunchyroll themselves as a first party franchise and was heavily pushed as such, it may not have even gotten an anime otherwise and would have probably faded into seasonal obscurity even if it got one anyway.
