virgin endeavour barely solo kills a high end with hawks help. chad mirko gets jumped by 3, kills one, and still finishes her mission breaking shiggy’s tank down half her limbs. I almost feel it was done on purpose with how she was low key introduced as the new 5th hero (and stays 5th after all might dies cause edgeshot becomes the new 4th) but ends up doing more than everyone ranked higher than her

I love the names of the cities in Machia's path and how many Star Wars references Hori stuffs in there

Synara City's interesting since that's a character from Star Wars: Resistance

For someone who designs so many awesome female characters, Horikoshi kind of treats them like poo poo.

This is a trademark of Shonen series unfortunately with some notable exceptions

Shout-out to Food Wars, which despite being about a real-world thing men and women compete in equally all the time and making the most skilled and powerful character in it’s setting a woman made sure only the guys tended to get any focus or agency

Speaking of which I should get my single probation removed for when I made a bad joke that there was gonna be a fantasy AU spin-off with momo and mirko after this

https://comicbook.com/anime/news/my-hero-academia-controversy-fantasy-momo-manga-anime/

Its bullshit now that I think about it and the wording on the probation makes it seem like I was condoning it

Edit: I’ll even keep the probate just change the text blurb to make me not seem like a future sex offender

I wouldn't call 99% of the paneling in One Piece from the last several years good tbh

If you want something actually good to compare it to- try Jujutsu Kaisen, which has a rougher art style while still being incredibly readable.

Good showing by Deku this time too. He looks like a demon when he's punching Shiggy.

Shiggy HAS to fall over at some point as a result of not being at 100%. Japan is loving wrecked already as it is.

Hilariously, if Shiggy has some kind of redemption at the end, I could totally see Aizawa taking him under his wing. Aizawa loves himself some strays. and Shiggy always thinks he's cool when they meet.

One Piece has been great the last couple arcs. Don't agree at all there's been a quality decline.
Inclined to agree. Fishman Island was a bit rough because it had a lot of weight to carry in terms of reestablishing characters and narrative momentum. Since Punk Hazard? Good as always.

To the people who feel it's declined, I'd be interested to know if they're primarily anime watchers? If so, then yeah... quality has declined.

Shiggy has murdered someone on screen so that means the only redemption he can get will be in death. Sorry, thems the rules.

Alternatively it’ll go the Naruto route, he’ll say “My bad”, and all will be forgiven.

I'd bring up Vegeta, but to be fair, he did die.

So I'll bring up Andy in Undead Unluck instead. That dude's killed a lot of people for a Shonen Jump protagonist. Especially one whose series has only been running for a bit over half a year, and he literally can't die.

(Still less determinedly murderous than Eren Yeager, though. That kid just started killing at nine and kept going from there. Shonen Jump probably wouldn't have a patricidal protagonist without him blazing a trail.)

I'm not saying Shiggy's going to be redeemed, but that rule's pretty much not a thing these days.

I’m a loyal fan since like 2009, haven’t watched the anime since freaking Skypeia or so and I think the series has declined but isn’t on the whole worse than, like an 8/10.

what i still dont get about this though is that those world leaders were revealed to be, on average, fairly genocidal, duplicitous, treacherous, etc. like he was proven pretty correct... the ninja world was corrupt to its core, and the only named character sasuke ever ended up killing orchestrated the mass murder of his clan. naruto had a vague idea about what it wanted to say but botched the execution left right and center

Orochi was always the best to me, he went from having captive human experiments in the thousands, mass murder, and assassinating the hokage to a whacky uncle figure and I don't think there was even a redemption arc?

wasn't there a worldwide amnesty at the end of naruto to help stop the constant wars? it's just baffling that people like orochimaru would be on friendly terms with anyone at this point

yea there was no arc, he just went from dead to not dead and at some point in there he decided to help out

Sure, that's true, but on the other hand, him being Mitsuki's cool nonbinary parent is the best part of Boruto, so it pretty much evens out.

I like how the MHA thread constantly devolves into chatting about other shonen series instead :allears:

Anyways Orochimaru getting amnesty always read as all the kages admitting that if Orochinaru didn't resurrect the hokages, then Madara/Kaguya would have won, and thinking to themselves that if they killed him, he'd just revive himself via another bullshit backup scheme. I could also definitely see Naruto stepping in and saying "ehhh don't do human experiments anymore and we're fine" to go along with the theme of the Pain arc.

the funny thing about no more human experiments is like, Mitsuki :v: but I guess it doesn't count if it's a clone of yourself?

waiting for the official release is always the hardest part of Sunday
